2462 acres of corn. From this he
cut 1866 tons of fodder, which he
claimed to be equal in value to 4S00
tons of timothy hay. This was more
than two and half tons per acre.
and nearly equal to two tons of hay
per acre in value. 1t cost him s10,-
$40 to cut and feed 1t. or about $1.70
ton equal to getting timothy at
s2.25 ton. Probably the farmer In
New England may not grow as much
corn fodder to the acre, and may not
be able to harvest 1t as cheaply as
that, but the fodder of our Eastern
corn is said to be more valuable than
that of the coarser growing Western
corn, and these figures suggest that
the fodder from an acre of good field
corn is worth enough so that when
its fair value is taken from the cost
of growing the corn crop it makes 1t
cheaper to grow the grain than to
buy 1t from Western ers.-Bos-
ton Cultivator.

EnsiIage as a Fodder.

1t has at times been asserted by
enthusiastic advocates of ensilage
that the material of which it is COM
posed actually acquires during the
slow and gradual process of fer
mentation, to which it is subjected,
more nutritious properties than the
green stuff itself contained previ-
Gus TO being placed in the silo or
stack. But this, of course, is an un-
warrantable assertion. 1t has been
proved by chemical analysis that one
pound of grass freshly cut in the
field contains more nutritious mat
ter than a similar quantity of the
same grass turned into ensilage.
Nevertheless it has been repeatedly
proved that in the matter of increas-
ing the flow OF milk, or producing
flesh, ensilage can more than hold its
own with the original material, and
certainly it is more ravenously eaten.
The explanation of this is that. un-
like concentrated acids and powerful
reagents used in laboratories in ex-
tracing substances for analysis, the
stomach of an animal is only able to
assimilate and appropriate for the
uses of the body that portion which
is digestible as food On the other
hand, and it is here where ensilage
has the pull over green fodder, dur
ing the process of turning grass into
silage a considerably greater pro-
portion Of matter susceptible of being
nutritious is rendered soluble and
made more easily digestible by the
stomach of the animal. The heat
and the alteration brought about
through the action of the enormous
number of germs during the process
of fermentation, TO which the green
soften and make ready for digestion
the fibres and nutritious substances
of which the material is composed.
This is why greater proportion
of these same nutritious substances
is rendered susceptible of being taken
into the circulation of the animals
which feed on them, and subse-
quently converted into flesh, fat or
milk. Writers ON the subject of en-
Stage nave frequently compared the
changes which take place in the con-
stitution of the fodder in the silo to
those which take place in the first
stomach or paunch of rumlnants,
and have found that a great similar
ity exists. The penetrating, but not
unpleasant, smell, and the accidental
taste of ensilage, create among cat
tie keener appetite, and they eat
more, and with greater relish, of the
food offered them, and this is SUBJ
stantial advantage. The greater di-
gestibility OF ensilage and its moro
appetizing properties constitute a
reason why it produces such good re-
suits when fed to stock, more espe-
cially to milking cows.--W. h. Gil-
bert, in Boston Cultiyator.

BlOat in Cattle.

From whatever cause, the bloat in
cattle is very dangerous and unless
help is soon obtained the animal will
die. The most effectual way of re-
lief is to use an instrument that is
designed for this purpose, but If this
is not at hand a knife may be used
the small blade of a penknife being
the right size. run through a cork to
make the blade the right length.
Push the right side of the cow
against the wall place the knife on
the left side, about midway between
the short rib and the hip bone, give
the knife sharp blow with the hand
withdraw the knife, insert a quill
and leave it there until the gas es-
capes The quill should be watched
SO that it may not become clogged
with blood.
The next day after the operation
give the COW one and one-half pounds
OF Glauber's salts and if she is not
chewing her cud the next day. give
her strip of salt pork, about a quar-
ter OF a pound, which will bring her
out in good shape. The knife opera
ton IL properly performed is not at
all dangerous, but delay in attending
TO 1t nearly always results in the
death OF the animal,-The Epitomist.

Power of association in domestic

We are so constantly being warned
against unworthy companionships that
it is well TO have somewhat on the
other side to maintain a proper bal
ance of teaching. There are circum-
stances that justify association with
those whom to copy would be ruin
Gus to our own characters. For, first,
it is our mission to the world to re-
place The leaven of wickedness with
the leaven of goodness; to make
flowers and fruits to grow in the place
OF briars and nettles. So Jesus ming
led in the social affairs of life, even
to the scandal of the hypocritical
Pharisees, who said, Behold a man
gluttonous!" But wherever Jesus
went the people were made thoughtful
Of spiritual things, and were turned
in lesser or larger degree from their
evil ways. After the Master spoke
to him, Zacchaeus said: Behold,
Lord, the half of my goods l (hereby)
give to the poor" and so on, showing
a thoroughly penitential condition of
heart.
DR. W. c. Wilkinson quotes from
