Composition of Wheat Bran.

In a Massachusetts State report
notes are given on the composition, di-
gestibility and fertilizing ingredients Of
wheat bran, as compared with other
concentrated feeding stuffs, and two
feeding experiments with COWS are re-
ported in a Massachusetts State re-
port by ]. B. Lindsey.
The roughage in the two ratiops
compared consisted Of hay and silage
and the grain feed Of cotton-seed meal
and flour middlings. To this was add
ed either bran or silage with corn meal
or corn-and-cob meal. In one of the
experiments the results were slightly
in favor Of the bran ration, while in
the other the so-called silage ration
gave the best results.
The author concludes that for small
herds the quantity of purchased grain
may be reduced to three or four pounds
in place Of wheat bran. 1t is suggest
ed that the grain mixture may consist
Of one and one-half pounds of cotton
seed meal, two pounds of flour mid
ding and two and one-half to three
pounds corn meal or corn-and-cob meal.
Malt sprouts may be substituted for
the wheat, oats or rye middlings
Where the feeding cannot be closely
supervised and where it is desired to
feed more than five to seven pounds of
grain daily, it is considered advisable
that the grain mixtures should consis+
Of one-third to one-half of wheat bran.

Feeding Ground Grain.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
made an exhaustive test of feeding
grain whole and ground. The following
are the conclusions reached during the
test:
When Corn Is There Is Saved
Worth by Grinding
% cents pr bushel 1.5 cents pr bushel
30 cents pr bushel Is cents pr bushel
30 cents pr bushel 81 cents Or bushel
40 cents pr bushel "a cents pr busheI
45 cents pr bushel 2.7 cents pr bushel
80 cents pr bushel 30 cents pr bushel
30 cents pr bushel 3.3 cents pr bushel
The above table based upon ten
years experimenting shows that when
corn is worth 20 cents per bushel grind.
ing effects a saving of 1.5 cents DER
bushel that when it Is worth 80 cents
per bushel grinding effects a saving of
1.S cent per Ddshel and so on. In or
der to determine whether 1t will be
profitable TO grind or not to grind all
our readers have to do is to ascertain
whether a busheI Of corn can be ground
for the price mentioned in the second
column showing the amount saved by
grinding. If, for instance, a bushel Of
corn can be ground for Is cent, and
corn Is worth 30 cents per bushel,
saving of g cent per bushel win be eff
fected by grinding, while If corn is
worth 40 cents per bushel a saving Of
1.9 cent per bushel will be effected by
grinding.
There are other conditions that may
enter into the question Of grinding.
Hogs viii eat more ground corn than
shelled corn and consequently can be
finished for the market In shorter time
when ground corn Is fed than when
whole grain Is used.
There are times when 1t Is very de-
sirable to get hogs ready for the mar
ket as soon as possible on account of
danger from disease, or because Of de-
string to get them out Of the way at
a certain time. Due consideration
should also be given to factors Of that
kind In determining the question Of
grinding.

an overgrowth, and the fruit buds will
drop off in the spring when the sap
starts and the buds begin to swell. Do

growth and produce unripe wood that
