Testing Alfalfa for SiIage.

Some tests were carefully made upon
a small scale to see what losses might
be expected in making Silage of alfalfa

pertinent station. The whole alfalfa
showed a spoiled layer three inches thick
on the top and an inch layer around the
side nearly all the way down. The siage
of the bottom and middle was excellent
and was greedily eaten by the cows and
calves Its loss in total weight was 10 {
per cent, but its loss in feeding value
was probably little larger
The other Sll0 was filled with cut al

Two days later the temperature had
fallen TO 81 degrees F.. and in two days

showed two inches of spoiled Silage on

was approximately 10 per cent

by the fact that his wife was far from

Iron pyrites Wanted.

Frank Mason. consul general ut Rer-
I'm, IN an article TO scientific journal
states that iron pyritcs is wanted in Ger
many. He says that in consequence of
the diminishing supply of sulphur-con-
tanning minerals from Spain and Portu-
gai, from which source the important
German manufacturers of sulphuric acid
have hitherto been mainly supplied, there
IS now an active demand in this country
for iron pyrites and other cheap sulphiGc
minerals which are adapted to treatment
by the standard methods of making sui
phuric acid. 1t is reported more or less
vaguely in the American press that inn
portant deposits of iron pyrites have been
recently discovered in the United States.
but nothing definite is known here as TO
the location and extent of such deposits.

The Feeding Value of Straw.

The value of straw for feeding stock
is not half appreciated in the central
and western portions of the country.
There is nothing surprising in this, how
ever. While the county was new and
the land was cheap there were enough
of more valuable products to be had at

Rearing Chicks with Breeders.

Prof. +. II. Stoneburn of the Connec-
ticut Agricultural college, urges upon
all poultry raisers the Importance of
proper arrangement for artificial brood
ing. While adult fowls that are vigor-
GUS and well protected may survive UNI
der adverse conditions. little chicks must
have careful treatment.
Fail Matched chicks are carried
through the winter, to be sold i'll the
spring as roaSters; winter Matched chicks
are marketed as early hroilers: while
the early spring hatched stock is either
marketed at the broiler age or carried 10
maturity to be used as breeders or egg
producers. The production of any large
amount of this out-of-season stock by
natural methods of rearing is. of course,
out of the question, and the incubator
and the brooder must he relied upon
largely. The facilities for brOoding the
chicks vary according to the needs and
resources of the different owners, rang
ing from a jug of hot water in tight
box to the huge pipe-system brooder
houses found upon the leading poultry
plants. But. unfortunately, in too many
cases these brooding systems are irade-
quate, being poorly designed or mprop-
erly constructed. AS a result the NOR
tality among young chicks entrusted to
them is so excessive that il cuts down
the profits very materially. In fact. OBJ
servation leads one to believe that the
greatest sources of loss on the average
poultry plant is TO be found in the heavy
mortality among chicks under two
months of age.
A hrooder building designed for the
rearing of chicks during the cold months
should embody several distinct features.
For the health and well-being of the
chicks it should he so constructed that
the temperature and ventilation can he
absolutely controlled. plenty of sunshine
admitted, and enemies. of all kinds kept
out.

HOW FAR MERS ARE
MAKING Big FIGHT
A. s. of E. to Continue Its Struggle
Against Tobacco Trust.-In the
Wheat Market Farmer is Factor.

Tobacco cutting is in full swing
throughout the Green river section.
Reports vary as to what per centum of
a full crop has been produced, says the
Owensboro Messenger. Most of the
growers still maintain that the figures
given out early in the year as to the
acreage were correct.
They further assert that the unusually
wet season has further curtailed the
crop, drowning out many whole crops
and severely damaging many others.
The members of the American Society
of Equity feel more confident tnan ever
of finally winning In their fight against
I, the tobacco trust.
! 4 The American Society of Equity pro-
hoses to continue the fight with all the
vigor of last winter. Very little of the
tobacco deposited IN Equity ware
houses IN Greensboro has been sold, but
the officers of the society say that they
will dispose of 1t in time to make room
for the new crop. The manager of one
of the Equity houses in Greensboro
stated yesterday that no Equity tobacco
has been disposed of thus far except
comparatively small quantities Of in
ferior grades This has been shipped
to Louisville.
The farmers have already shown hold
ing qualities which many people
thought impossible at the beginning of
the struggle year ago. Definite plans
for handling the new crop have not
been announced, but the committees in
charge will form some adequate ar
rangement for holding the crop unless
the market should open at prices which
they feel are equitable.
