Feeding Cattle.

During the past winter an INFER
eshng experiment with 90 head of
beef cattle was conducted Mt the
Experiment Station. The 20 cattle
fed silage made an average gain of
LAC pound per head per day: the
20 cattle fed timothy hay. I.IO
pound per head per day: and the
20 cattle fed shredded corn slower.
80 pound per head per day. There
was thus a difference of 1 to B
pound of gain per head per day in
favor of the silage fed cattle. The
silage fed cattle finished off the
best and showed more quality than
the others, and in any discriminate
ing market would have brought a
considerably higher price. The
strong prejudice against using
Silage for the winter feeding of
beef cattle is hard to understand.
for 1t has been fully demonstrated
that silage fed cattle will kill out
quite as well as the dry fed cattle.
and the meat is, generally speak
ing, of superior quality. Where
as, the silage was all eaten nm.
1875 of the slower and 4.I6 per
cent of the hay was wasted. The
gains show that the cattle fed were
not of satisfactory quality. In
previous experiments pound of
gain has been made fora consump-
ton of 3 to pounds of grain. The
silage fed cattle in this test con-
summed 6.54 pounds of grain for a
pound of gain; the slower fed cattle
Ills pounds, or about twice rs
much; and the hay fed cattle. $ 30
pounds, or 2.45 pounds more per
head than the Silage fed cattle.
With better bred animals fed in
previous experiments, the average
gain per head per day has often
been 2.lS pounds throughout the
SIX months feeding period. which
again testifes to the unsatisfactory
quality of the animals fed in this
test.

MARTINS BAD BREAK.

Whatever the reporters may say
andwhatever the impartial auditors
may think of the joint discussion
between Senator Martin and Gov
ernor Montague at King George
Courthouse, Thursday, there is no
doubt that Senator Martin made
one statement that should initiate
largely in comprising his over
whelming defeat in the primary in
August. 1t is such blunt admis-
sion of all that his opponents have
charged that it is surprising that
he should have ever made it. He
was explaining his opposition to a
Senatorial primary when the cues
ton was sprung in the Roanoke
convention eight years ago. and
thought to Justify it by DECLARING
that the move was aimed at Tom
Martin. Isn't that a square admis-
sion that he BELOVED that he was not
the choice of the people when he
was elected to the exalted position
which he has since filled, and that
IN a popular primary he would have
less chance to succeed himself than
If the matter were left to the Leeis-
Iature and the machinel If tbi, is
not a fair conclusion, we confess
our inability to comprehend the i'm
port of words. That being a Ieeit-
mate deduction from his defense
t argues a willingness on his part
% hold place of the highest honor
Ind trust without thinking that the |
people would have entrusted him
With so exalted a service. That is
Exactly the charge that has been
made all the while, and this public
declaration gives tenable ground
or the suspicion tn, attached to
ne manner of the election of
