ManurinE In the Corn Belt.

Commenting In general the advice
recently given by Professor w. J. Spill
man about the saving and using of
all farmyard manure, Iowa Homestead
takes an exception. as follows: We
think Professor Spillman makes little
mistake when he says that manure
should be spread on the field next to
be plowed. This doctrine is entirely
unsound as applied to corn belt condi-
tons. Usually 1.-The field next to be
plowed" Is oat or corn Stubble, and the
blowing is done in preparing this land
for corn. If manure is hauled to such
soil during the winter the probabili-
ties are that it will be dried out con-
sidcrably before it can be plOwcd I'M
der, and this is Objectionable because
of the fact that coarse manure is an
actual injury to soil unless the rain
fall during the growing season is above
the average. Manure hauled during
the winter under average circum-
stances should be placed on pastures or
on meadows.

GOOD FEED STUFF.
Wheat Bran by the New Milling
prOcess-Rich In Protein.


Letters received at the Michigan ex-
pertinent station indicate that in some
parts of Michigan a prejudice exists
against roller process wheat bran.
Some farmers prefer finely ground
bran, others are prejudiced in favor OF
coarser samples The product of roller
mills Is not uniform in this respect.
In some samples the germ is ground
with the bran; in other mills the germ
Is found either in the flour or as
separate byproduct. To get some light
bran to its physical appearance four
teen samples We're analysed, some Of
them from roller mills, some from bur
stone mills, some from mills of large
capacity and others from smaller es-
Establishments. The per cent Of protein
varied from 1882 per cent in the bran
Of roller process mill with an an
nual output of 1900 tons to 10 per cent
in a first grade roller process bran
from one of the immense mills in Min
neapolls. Little variation was found
in the composition of extremely coarse
bran and the finer articles.
Roller Process Product Approved.
The chemist Of the station says on
this topic: The two extremes, the very
coarse and the very fine, are of much
the same composition, while neither
shows the best sample SO far as feed
ing properties are concerned. The medi-
UNI grades generally show better
analysis than either of the extremes.
Theoretically the bran produced by the
roller process should be more valuable
than that produced by bur stones, as
in one the germ, which Is rich In fat,
is separated out With the flour and in
the other this part goes into the bran.
The roller process brans are all per-
ceptlbly higher in protein than are
those of the bur stone process. 1t Is
not so much the amount Of starch pres
ent in the bran as the amount Of pro-
tein and fat that Is Of consideration to
the feeder. The end for which the
millers are constantly working III the
milling process, the most complete sep
araton of the starch possible and the
needs of the consumer of bran, a food
rich in protein and fat, are identical.
The new milling process Instead of
supplying the feeder with an inferior
grade of feeding stuffs furnishes him
with one much superior to that sup
piled by the old process.

RAPE ENSILAGE.


By FRANK T. SHUT, Canada.
There Is something new in cOnnec-
ton with the rape crop-namely, rape
ensilage. The growth of rape has very
largely increased in Canada in the last
few years. and n good deal of attention
Is now being paid to it as a soiling
crop, for feeding steers or young stock
or for the pasturing of hogs or Of
sheep 1t is usually considered that
rape Is too succulcnt-i. e., it contains
too large percentage of water - to
make good cnsilagc. 1t cannot be dried
and cured because the leaves crumble
as they lose their moisture. Mr.. Girls
dale made some experiments last year
with rape in the silo, and his results
have shown that it may be successfully
used in that way. An cnHilaSe was
made of rape alone cutting the rape
on Oct. Is, and an cnsilagc was also
made of half rape and half corn.
High Feeding Value.
In comparison of ensilagcs made
from corn alone, from rape alone and
from the mixture consisting Of half
rape and half corn as regards the per
centage of water there was very little
difference in the average composition
of the three. In other words, the
amount of dry matter Is nearly the
same in all three classes of these en-
silages. But when we consider the
quality of that dry matter there is
considerable difference in favor of the
rape. This IS seen more particularly III
the protein content Of the ensilages.
For instance, IL Is the average per
centage of crude protein IN corn en-
silaye. whereas we find 2.61 per cent
In rape cnsilage and Els per cent in
corn and rape cnsilage, These figures
might be somewhat different in another
trial, but nevertheless they represent
fairly we'll the relative value of these
three ensilages. Rape is a highly nj
trogenous plant. 1t is like clovers and
the legumes in that respect.

Critical Time For Pigs.
From May to August is the critical
time for pigs in grain growing sections.
The pigs are often compelled during
this period to hunt for Il living. either
in small Enclosures or IN larger scantily
productive pastures. Pigs will not
thrive in pasture that is not green
and fresh. and the importance of pro-
viding clover or alfalfa pasture or
some kind of green forage becomes
very apparent at this season,
