SlIo Experience.

rbe following are the conclusions roached as the result of several years exneriments at the Tennessee Exper- ment station with silos and siiaee IS feed:
 Silage can be utilized to advant- oga In every section of the country on account of the variety of crops rom which if can be made and because U is an excellent substitute for grass in the winter or summer feeding oI farm live stock.
 2 Silage increases the carrying ca pacity of the land. Ordinarily from two to three acres of blue grass sss required to carry 900 pound steer TOT six months when gaining from SVo to 400 pounds Four 500 pound steer. were fed for 150 days on the proouc. of less than an acre of land m lse form of siIage and gained sS6 pounds during that period.
 3. silage may be made from a grea' variety of crops, as corn, sorg s ; cow peas, soy beans, teosinite, hanr corn and clover; but the first two ate by far the most valuable.
 4. As fine a quality of silage ca nos made from sorghum as from any ot CT crop and there seems to De nttle difference between the feeding Vaiues of sorghum and corn silage for peer production. ,.,.
 Q. FarnleTS WHO in making good sllage either cut the crop too green or else have improper ly constructed silos.
 6. The average cost of ton ot silage from sorghum was $1.41; from corn. $2: from corn and sorghum, $l'So' and from soy beans. $2.S3.
 '. The yield of silage varies con siderably with the distance of plant. ing. Close planting gives the largest yield, but tends to produce weak stalk. which makes the crop difficult to cultivate and harvest. Three feet Is probably the most desirable distance 10 plant sorghum, corn. and corn ana sorghum. If planted more than Feet apart the yield will be decreased; whereas, If planted in two foot rows the cost of cultivation will be greater.
 s. The cos of growing an acre of sorghum silaBe was SEAS; of corn $14.92; corn and sorghum, $l9.I4; soy beans, $1e.86.
 g. Cocke's Prolific and Virginia Ensi- lage are good varieties of corn to use for silage purposes and will make the largest yields when planted in three foot rows. These varieties rsoIiireS

Relative Food values of Oats and Corn.
 A decision relative to the comparative values of these two foods would often save money to purchasers of foodstuns- En Inc following reply to a correspon- dent an effort is made to establish this reintfon, through the conclusion reached is subject to many exceptions In cases where other food has special effect on certain classes of animals.
 It is difficult to make a comparison petween any two foods that differ in chemical composition. However, an ap- prnximate relation in their food value san be established between two foods so nearly related in composition as are so nearly related in composition to such values must be made in special cases. Tor example a value slightly higher than composition and digestibiiity in- dicate must be assigned to oats when fed to horses receiving grass hay or corn blades or when fed to valuable bulls, or other valuable animals in ference for oats. 1 note that you can buy oats at 40 cents and corn at 65 to 70 cents per bushel.
 Considering both the composition and the diGestibiIity of the two foods we find thnt the digestible materials In 100 pounds of corn are eight pounds protein. sixty seven pounds of starchy LuattTidlSs aHu IOuT PVuioo VI Aoe, sstc tai of seventy nfne-pounds of digesttble material in each 100 pounds of shelled corn Likewise in oats, there are nine pounds of digestible protein, forty-sev- en of starchy material. and four pounds Of fat, total of sixty pounds of diges- tible matter in each 100 pounds or tfreafied oats Therefore the nutritive value of the two foods stand to each other in the ratio of sixty for oats as cornpsred with seventy-nine for corn. Therefore one pound of corn is worth about one and three tenths pounds or oats Or one bushel of corn Is worth nearly 7S pounds of oats. When oats are worth 70 cents per bushei' 1s pounds cost ST 1y2, which is then the theoretical relative value of one bushel Of corn (56 pounds.)
 An easy rule for approximatinigly es- tablishing the price that one could af- ford to pay for corn as compared with oats as q fattening food is to multiply the price of oats per bushel by two and one-fifth, which gives the approximate relative price per bushel of corn.
 At 70 cents per bushel for oats and 67 cents per bushe1 for corn. the cost of 100 pounds of the two foods Is iden- tica1 and hence corn. which. pound for pound. contains about g per cent more of dieestible matter than oats. is in your case decidedly cheaper, as 1t us- ually is on Southern farms. The above theoretical relations are not far wrong in practical application in ordinary feeding for fattening. but as suggested above, special needs of valuable ani- nals may alter these relations consid- erably.

He does not claim injury from spraying at other times but finds that by spraying in the | fall just before the leaves are ready to drop, the most effective work is done. He explains this by stating that the scale is then less completely protected
 and more susceptible to injury from l contact with the spraying material than 1t Is during the winter. 1 Dr. Smith recommends that most in- secticides including the lime salt sul- I phur combination and the kerosene and crude oil sprays be applied as soon as | the foliage has begun to thin out and drop. He makes but one exception in advising fall spraying, and regards strong preparations of whale oil soap as | too severe for use during the fall. He alludes to experiments in New York in

The Rochester Reunion.

Quite delegation from this place, both
veterans and others, attended the reunion
at Rochester, Aug. 10, and were thrilled
with the soul-stirring music OF the Mont
pelier band, while they imbibed patriot
ism from the speeches Of the gray headed
army boys of 81 to i65. The exercises
were held at the south side OF the park, a
suitable stage having been erected under
the shade OF trees that fringe that margin.
On the campus in front, a few chairs and
settees were in evidence, though very few
compared to the number of people present.
A good supply of rude seats made from
crude lumber at little cost would have
been highly appreciated by the standing
crowd. There was a good chance for
some enterprising tradesman to sell camp
stools, as people did not realize before
leaving home how great convenience
they might have been. But this was the
only lack of proper provision for the COM
fort OF the throngs in attendance.
The hunger OF the crowd had been an
ticipated by the ladies of the several
churches, and people who had failed to
carry well-filled lunch baskets expert
enced no inconvenience from such negli-
gence, for only small piece OF silver was
needed to procure a superb square meal,
and smaller one for a good measure Of
delicious ice cream and cake.
All left wishing blessings on the ladies
and that they might have a period of rest
after their days OF labor in preparing for
the gathering and the more laborious and
tiresome day Of serving.
