Value Of Feeding Materials

The feeding value of any stock food
depends mainly upon the amounts of
carbohydrates, fat, and protein con-
tanned in the feed that is capable Of
being used by the animal body in the
process of digestion.
Carbohydrates, fat, and protein are
names given to classes of compounds
present in all feeds. The carbohy-
drates in feeding materials are mainly
composed of common starch, cane
sugar, grape sugar, gums, and crude
fiber, commonly called wood fiber"
The carbohydrates are produced SO
abundantly so cheaply, and in so
many crops that the value OF a feed
containing them In large amounts, to
the exclusion of fat or protein, is usu.
ally relatively low. They are more
difficult to digest than fat and when
digested they do not produce the re-
suits that fat does. 1t requires 2.27
pounds of carbohydrates to accomplish
the same work, or produce the same
effects in an animal, as does one
pound of fat This again makes them
Of less value for feeding purposes than
the fats. In digestion, gums and fibers
are probably not used by the animal
In the process of nutrition. They are
said to be digestcd TO a slight extent
but the materials produced from them
are very likely not used, but pass off
as waste products, thus losing the
identity of the original constituents,
which are often reported to be digest
ed" Starch and sugars are, for the
most part, digested, and when so acted
upon by the animal are used in the
production of energy and heat, and
what is left over is stored in the body
Of the animal as fat.
Fat in a food is just another name
for oil, they mean the same. Cotton
seed oil, linseed oil. corn oil, olive oil.
are some OF the common fats found in
foods, and when extracted by chemi-
cal analysis are termed crude fat"
Fats are digested by the animal al
most without change, which is not the
case with carbohydrates Fats furnish
heat and energy for the body and
when not so used are stored in the
body as animal fat AS mentioned
above, one pound OF fat is worth more
than two pounds of carbohydrates in
any feed Another important point re-
garding fats is that they have a ten
dency to counteract constipation, es-
pecially II contained in the food in
large amounts.

Sodium for Electric Uses.

Sodium is an excellent conductor of
electricity, and in view of the increas-
ing price of copper and the growing
demand for that metal not only for
electric installations, but for many
other purposes. the idea has been
broached that sodium should be tried
as a material for electric cables. Ex-
periments looking to this end have
lately been made by Mr.. A. G.. Bett
He filled an iron tube 130 feet in
length with melted sodium. The core
thus formed had a cross-section of an
inch and half. A current of 500 am
peres was readily transmitted through
it. Mr.. Bett thinks that sodium con-
ductors constructed upon this plan
may be made cheaper than conductors
of copper.

and finally may be stored in the form
OF fats. An animal may live indefinite
~ ON pure protein food, but cannot
do so on one composed of pure fat or
carbohydrates.
Other things being equal, the value
OF food should depend upon the
amount of protein present. This is
due in part to the fact that 1t can do
more things in the animal body than
any of the other constituents fed. The
removal of nitrogen from the soil, ex-
cept in the case of legumes, by har-
yesting the crops depends upon the
quantity of protein contained in
the crop. Since nitrogen is our
most expensive plant food, and the
most difficult to retain in the soil. its
removal in the crop must have con-
siderable influence on the value of
the feed. To put nitrogen or its COM
pound, protein, in feed costs money,
but TO produce fat or carbohydrates in
a crop costs nothing; they are free
and are not on the market as fertiliz-
ers. Cottonseed meal is worth S25 per
ton because it contains 40 per cent
of protein and ten per cent. OF fat
Prairie hay is worth but five dollars
per ton because it contains only about
four per cent. protein and two to three
per cent. of fat, Alfalfa hay is worth
$40 per ton because it contains about
IA per cent. of protein. Wheat and
oat straws are cheap because they
contain but little protein or fat. There
are some other things that influence
the value of feed, but none should
have as much bearing upon its value
as that of its chemical composition.

Development of Electric Road.

The electric railway had many "in-
ventors"-persons who by various i'm
provements brought the system to its
present usefulness. Thomas Daven.
port a blacksmith of Brandon, VT, Is
credited with having first suggested
the electric railway, although an Ital-
ian priest, Able Salvatore Del Negro.
professor of natural history at the
University of Padua, is reputed to
have designed an electric toy traction
machine of the reciprocating type in
1890. Davenport ran a toy motor
mounted on wheels on a small circu-
lar railway in 1884, exhibiting this a
year later at Springfield and Boston,
Mass. About half century passed.
however, before the electric railway
was made practical for present uses.

Electricity in Spain.

The recent increase in the use of
electricity in Spain has been so rapid
that an official report states that to-
day very few localities exist where
the electric light is not employed.
This is particularly true of places stu
ated near swiftly running streams.
The consumption of electric lamps,
even in the smallest villages, is de-
scribed as being enormous. Every
where electric motors are found talk
ing the place of steam power. Yet the
construction of electric apparatus in
Spain has not kept step with the
growth in its employment, so per cent
of the dynamos and motors being inn
ported from Germany. Most of the
remainder come from France and
Switzerland.

structures of most of the fibres that
cover animals. Thus the hair on the

this in that the tapering is only in

Silage for Beef CattIe.-Some Of our
most successful growers of beef are
now using silage for winter feeding,
this gives them always a cheap sue
culent feed that is of great value
when the main part of the ration of
most beef cattle has to be dry hay or
corn fodder. This does away with
the necessity for producing roots with
which to feed cattle to keep them in
condition and keep their appetites
good. Succulence can be produced
more cheaply in silage than in turnips,
beets or other roots. This is one rea-
son why root crops have never become
popular in the United States, as they
are in England. Some Of the feeders
of steers feed so pounds Of silage daily
per steer, while the animals are not
being fattened, but cut this down one
half when the time for finishing
comes.
