silage VI. Grain.

The object Of this experiment was to
determine whether silage might not
be substituted for a considerable por-
ton of the grain usually fed to dairy
cows. Two rations were fed carrying
practically the same Gnount Of dry
matter. In n ration over fifty per
cent. of this dry matter was derived
from silage and less than eighteen
per cent. was derived from grain.
In the other ration over ifty-seven
per cent. Of the dry matter was de-
rived from grain, no silage being fed.
Ten cows, representing five different
breeds, were fed these rations from
two to four months, five cows taking
the test the full four months.
The cows fed the silage ration pro-
duced 96.7 pounds Of milk and sos
pounds Of butter fat per hundred
pounds Of dry matter.
The COWS fed the grain ration pro.
duced S1.3 pounds of milk and $50
pounds butter fat per hundred pounds
of dry matter.
The cost of feed per hundred pounds
Of milk was $0.6S7 with the silage
ration and $1.055 with the grain ra-
ton. The cost of feed per pound Of
butter fat was 1871 cents with the
silage ration and 22.1 cents with the
grain ration.
The average net profit per COW per
month lover cost Of feed was $5.864
with the silage ration and $2.465 with
the grain ration.
Comparing the average daily product
OF each COW for the entire test with her
average daily product for the month
previous to the change in ration Tor
the first month Of their test in the
case of two cows, the COWS fed the
silage ration shrank 2.S4 per cent. in
milk and gained 1.89 per cent. in butter
fat production. The cows fed the
grain ration shrank OIL per cent. in
milk and 14.1S in butter fat produc-
ton.
Upon the conclusion of the expert
ment each lot of COWS was found to
have gained in live weight: The silage
fed cows an average of AZ pounds per
head, the grain fed cows an average
of 81 pounds per head.
The facts herein reported seem to
justify the conclusion that silage can
be made to take the place of a consid-
cradle portion of the grain ration. 1t
is believed that by growing more of
the feeds rich in protein-clover, al
falfa, soy beans, cowpeas, field peas,
vetches and ensoiling them, or feeding
them as hay, it will be possible to fur.
Their reduce the amount of grain feed.
1t is the expectation of the station
to continue the experiment the follow
ing winter.-Ohio Exp. Station Bulle.

The Cruelty Of Gossip.

There has long been gossip, says the
Atchison Globe; about a certain Atch-
ison woman-gossip that did her much
harm; that almost starved her, in fact.
Lately a man took occasion to look up
the truth of the gossip.
The woman he interviewed said
everybody knew about it,"
But what do you know about it,"
the man asked one woman.
She confessed she knew nothing.
Other ONE were visited, and they
knew nothing; some idle person had
started a vicious story, and a lot of
otherwise worthy people had accepted
it. AS a result, a worthy woman has
been punished unjustly and almost
starved. Her relatives have deserted
her; she has become an outcast; she
has heard her children cry for food
all because of un%truthful stories about
her. ~ 4

Arrangements are nearly completed
for the cantata-cOncert to be given by
the NJ. +. church choir at the church
on Friday evening, May 26th. As
announced last week, the program
will be based on the Revolutionary
war period and will be given in appro-

causes of the war, and each number
will be explanatory of some stirring
event of that war. Enough variety is
provided so that the evening will be
far from tiresome.
A full concert orchestra will assist in
the rendition of the program, and
many friends of the church choir have
signifed their willingness to assist
in the production. 1t is expected that
there will be something like so voices
in the grand chOruses.
The price of admission will be only
10c. and it is hoped that the entire
church will be filled at that price.
Coffee and light lunch will also be
served during intermission and after
the concert in the basement OF the
church.

days before Memorial day should be
of especial interest to all patriotic
