Value I'm Cattle foods,

The value of cattle foods depends
largely upon their digestibility. There
is more protein in straw than corn fod-
der, but the latter is more digestible.
Some coarse foods are valuable, how
ever, in assisting to digest the concen-
trated foods by giving bulk to the mass
and separating the materials, especial
" when the coarse foods are reduced
to fine condition Even if but a por-
ton of the straw foods is digested, they
are prepared for the manure heap by
the animals and are thus increased in
value compared with wasteful use.

DISTANCE PAST UNDERSTANDING.
One Star Is Fifty-three Millions of Mil
lions of Miles Away.

There are very few stars whose dis
tance is even approximately known TO as
tronomers. Moreover. the different cSti-
mates of the distances Of these few vary
by large amounts. The nearest known
star is Alpha in the constellation Cen
taur. not visible from the northern lands
of the earth. and one of the next nearest
is the little star in the northern constei-
lation, Cygnus, called 81 Cygni." The
latest determination Of this star makes
its distance fifty-three millions of mil
lions of miles. This is about eighteen
millions of millions of miles less than the
distance derived from Prof Halls meas
urement of some fifteen years ago.

Raising Seed Corn.

The best way of raising corn for
seed, as followed in the West, says G.
W. Morrill, in Tri-State Farmer, is to
prepare a seed bed or testing ground
Of from one to two acres far removed
from other fields. To begin with, no
ear should be used which is imperfect
from which to select grains for the
seed crop, selecting such type Of corn
that you wish to grow, the work Of
selection should be followed year after
year, selecting the best ears that show
an Improvement over previous years.
Any plant that is deficient in any re
quirement should not be allowed to de
velop a tassel, and especially d barren
stalk.
As to corn feeding the seed plots
should not suffer for want of plant
food. From field experiments with fer
tilizerS on corn in the West last year,
on soils Of average fertility, a higher
per cent OF potash than ordinary fer
ttlizer contains gave remarkable re-
suits and would undoubtedly give sim
liar results on the average lands of
Georgia. In Georgia last year were
used more fertilizers with corn than
was ever used in years before, and with
proper fertilizers and more attention
to the selection of seed, and intensive
culture, there is no doubt or reason
why the average yield Of well-bred corn
should not be increased in the South,
and especially Georgia.

Storing Winter Apples.

Many growers must be reminded of
the Importance of getting fruit to stor-
age as promptly as possible after pick
ing. The United States Department of
Agriculture has demonstrated that
fruit deteriorates more in a few days
between the time Of leaving the trees
and the time it reaches storage than it
does in as many months of storage at
low temperature
1t was formerly thought necessary
to put apples in piles in the orchard,
to sweat" but this has been shown
to have been mistake. Don't do this :;
but, on the contrary, send your apples
to storage at once, in refrigerator cars,
If the weather is warm and the dis
lance is great. Many of the best ap-
pie handlers want their fruit in storage
before night of the day it is picked, if
at all possible, and there is no doubt
that they are right in regard to this
Western Fruit Grower.
