Testing Cattle Feeds.

The changes made in the feeding
stuff law by the New York State Leg
islature of 1904 are noted in a recent
bulletin by Pgg29fs, Jordan and Fuller,
and a report given Of the analyses Of
263 samples, representing 203 brands
of cottonseed meaI, 1Inseed fnSaf,
old and new process, dried dis
tillers' gfaff7s., brewers grains, malt
sprouts, gluten meal and feed, germ
oil, germaline, hominy feed, wheat
bran and middlings, oats and oat
byproducts, compounded feeds, includ-
ing cereal breakfast food byprod-
ucts, proprietary feeds and similar
goods, barley feed and meal, beet pulp
mixed poultry rations, scratching food,
poultry bone, meat meal, beef scrap,
blood meal and similar products. At
least tifty-two of the samples showed
larger deficit of protein than was re-
garded by the author as reasonable.
Eighteen of these samples deficient in
protein were compounded and prOprl-
etary feeds, nine linseed meal, and the
remainder cottOnseed meal, dried dis
tillers' grains, gluten feed, hominy
feed and poultry feeds in about equal
proportion. One of the samples of cot
tonseed meal was evidently cottonseed

A Sew Ponltrv Comnetitor.

Hungary exports turkeys, geese,
ducks and hens to England, where they
now compete more successfully than
formerly with American poultry. The
poultry culture of Hungary is said to
pay ten times as much to farmers as
any other branch Of agriculture Beef
is dear and pork has gone up in price,
while thousands of people are making
money in the export of eggs alone, ard
raisers of poultry find good domes-
tic, if not also a foreign, market. The
secretary Of the Hungarian National
Poultry Association declares that his
country will yet export more poultry
than grain. Hungary is already
large producer of Indian corn, and
even in America it is found that the
poultry business tends to increase most
rapidly in the corn belt. Cheap corn,
q moderate climate and poultry raising
seem to be a natural combination

Seed Corn in the Ear

a circular letter sent out from the
Ottawa, Canada, Station, says:
The cost of the small quantity of
seed corn that is required to plant an
acre, n comparison with the cost for
labor in cultivating and handling and
the ultimate value per acre of a good
crop, would seem to make it clear
that the best available seed of the
most satisfactory type and variety
should be obtained at any reasonable
cost. 1t would be much better for
Canadian farmers if they were able to
obtain their supplies of seed corn in
the ear; they would then have a fair
idea of what they were getting. While
in the ear, the danger of injury to
the vitality of the seed from damp
and its after effects is reduced to a
minimum. Corn that is shelled by a
machine and left in sacks for six
weeks or more will seldom terminate
more than 10 per cent, unless the
conditions for storage have been ex-
ceptionally good. The ave age vital
ity of seed corn, tested in the seed
laboratory last year. were. for corn
received in the ear, % per cent. and
for shelled corn IS per cent. 1t is
much to be recommended, then, that
wherever possible. farmers obtain
their supplies of seed corn in the ear
only. To meet the demand for seed
corn in this condition growers would
do well to adopt the style of shipping
crate that is used for this purpose In
the States OF Iowa and Illinois. This
crate is two feet nine inches long, one
foot wide and one foot deep. and is
made of half-inch lumber three inches
in width. It's capacity Is one bushal,
or between one hundred and one hun
dred and twenty ears. If the corn
can be planted in hills, this crate will
hold sufficient seed for five acres.
While it is true that there may be
some additional cost for freight, on
account of the weight of the cob and
of the crate. and that extra work is
in Smelling the corn, these be.
come insignificant when the difference
in value between an acre of good ma
tured corn and an acre of unsatiSfac-
tory corn is considered.

The making of foreign cheeses in

not, however, identical Thus, at
