Horse Feeding Experiments.

The United States department Of
agriculture has just issued a bulletin
entitled "A digest of recent expert
ments on horse feeding by c. F..
Langworthy. This bulletin is a COM
pilation which summarizes and dis
cusses recent experimental work with
horses, especially that carried on at
the agricultural experiment stations
in the United State2. The principles
of nutrition with reference to horse
feeding are discussed and figures are
given showing the composition and
digestibility of the coarse and con-
centrated folders commonly fed to
horses. Experiments are summarized
which discuss the comparative value
of the different feeding stuffs and
special attention is paid to some, like
molasses, which are becoming more
important than formerly. The COM
parative merits of different ways of
preparing feed are also treated as well
as the proper time of watering and
the amount of water required. Some

Wyndottes as Market Fowls.

The Silver Wyandotte male with
Brahma or Cochin hens is one of the
best that can be made for crossing on
large breeds, with \ view of retaining
the size as we'll as to improve the
marketable appearance. 1t is, per-
haps, better to keep all the breeds
pure, where it is possible to do so, but
there are some farmers who have
large hens, probably crosses from
Brahmas or Cochins, and who wish to
preserve the yellow legs and skin, as
well as to have the body compact and
readily salable, says the Mirror and
Farmer. For that reason the use Of
the Wyandotte male IS suggested. 1t
is a cross that is excellent for produc-
ing market fowls. If pullets for next
years laying are required the use of a
.Leghorn male will probable give more
satisfactory results, although the pull
lets from the Wyandotte cross will be
found not deficient as layers or
mothers. The Wyandotte is medium
sized fowl, but has golden-yellow legs
and skin. and it is also very attractive

Points About Sifage.

Novices in slage making frequently
have what they call sour silage."
This silage is not equal in feeding
value to silage that is slightly acid.
The reason for this is that the corn
from which the sour sllage was made
was cut at too early a stage-while
the plant was still full of sugar, says
the Farmers Review Later this
sugar would be turned into starch by
the operations of nature. In the form
of sugar the heating changes that
element into acid. 1t thus loses its
value as a heat and energy producer
If the corn be allowed to mature suf
ficently to develop the starch, the
acidifying process cannot take place.
For this reason the growing of the big
southern silage corn had to be aban-
doned in the north. 1t took such
long season to mature that the frost
came and caught it while it was still
in the sugar stage. Such corn had
less value as silage than it had as
green feed, which is not the case with
silage made from corn at a proper
stage of maturity. Such silage is SUI
perior to green corn, being more di-
gestible. The right time to cut corn
for silage is after the ears have fully
developed and the kernels on the ears
have attained their full size and are
