of the top and tassel Of a corn stalk
after all the fodder has been removed
by pulling as is the custom IN some
parts?
Answer-The subject of the distrl-
button Of the nutrients in the corn
plant has been studied quite extensive
ly at several stations, the CONCLUSION
reached being that about forty-elght
per cent. of the digestible part OF the
corn plant is contained in the ears and
ffty-two per cent. in the various parts
of the stubble. According to careful
and elaborate tests made at the Mary
land station there were about lo|
pounds of protein, 13a3 pounds Oh crude
fibre and nitrogen free extract, and
yielding 1880 pounds of dry substance
per acre. Of course, an ordinary corIt
crop as growing in the field would
weigh much more than the amount
indicated here. but after the water
was all driven off, its bulk would prob
ably not be much greater on the aver
age. The top fodder contains ten
pounds of protein, 100 pounds of crude
fiber, 232 pounds of nitrogen free ex-
tract and 10 pounds of fat; the blades
six per cent. of protein, So pounds of
crude fiber, 1O5 pounds of nitrogen
free extract, and 4 pounds of fat; the
husks, six per cent. of protein, 16S
| pounds of crude fiber, 246 pounds OF
| nitrogen free extract, and 2 pounds OF
fat; the stubb1e, 6 pounds of protein,
241 pounds of crude fiber, 304 pounds
OF nitrogen free extract, and 10 pounds
of fat.
These, as stated above, are the d1-
gestible constituents, 50 you will OBJ
serve that the stubble contains a larger
per cent. of useful nutrients than either
the husks or the blades, and in fact is
richer in digestible nutrients than the
top fodder with the exception of the
protein. This analysis of the corn
plant. showing as it does the relative
amount of digestible nutrients con-
tanned in the several parts, may give
you the information you desire-An-

~ RECIPES go:

Crab Apple Jelly - Wash the fruit
clean, put in a kettle, cover with water
and boil until thoroughly cooked. Then
pour it into a sieve and let it drain.
Do not press it through. For each
pint OF this liquor allow II pound Of
sugar. Boil from twenty minutes to
half al hour. The apples must be
juicy and not over-ripe.
Leftover Cauli1ower-Cooked cauli-
flower which is left over may be used
in Il variety of ways, and forms a very
savory and inexpensive addition to the
table. The white part dipped in batter
and fried to a rich brown in dripping
is very nice; or the remains may be
heated up in the wen after being
sprinkled with fine bread crumbs, and
with small pieces of butter on the top.
Bake until brown.
Ounce Jelly-Wipe the fruit, quarter,
core, but do not pare. Select those
medium ripe; they should be a fine vel
low; put them in a preserving Kettle
with a teacup of water for each pint;
stew gently until soft; do not mash;
put in a muslin bag, press lightly; to
each pint of the juice put a pound of
sugar; stir until it jellies; turn it into
pots or tumblers, and when cold cover
and put in dark closet.
Grape Jelly-Put your grapes over
the fire in a large double boiler with
out water. Cover closely and cook I'M
til the fruit is broken to pieces. Rub
through a colander, then squeeze
through a flannel bag. Measure the
juice, and to each pint allow a pound
of sugar. Put the sugar in pans and
set in the oven to heat. but not to melt.
! Stir it from time to time to prevent
scorching. Return the juice to the fire
in a porcelain-lined kettle and bring to
a boil. Cook for twenty minutes, add
the heated sugar, boil up just once, an6
pous the jelly into glasses set in a pax
