Ensilage as a Fodder.

It has at times been asserted by
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. It has been
proved by chemical analysis that one
pound of grass freshly cut in the
field contains more nutritious mat
ter than 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 it's
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
stuff is subjected in the silo or stack,
soften and make ready for digestion
the fbres and nutritious substances
of which the material is composed.
This is why a 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-
silage have. 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 ruminaHts,
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, aid they eat
more, and with greater relish, of the
food offered them, and this is a sub
stantial advantage. The greater di.
gestibility of ensilage and its more
appetizing properties constitute a
reason why 1t produces such good re.
suits when fed to stock, more espe
cially to milking cows.-W. r. Gill
bert, In Boston Cultivator.

The Most Profitable Horse.

Very few farmers ever make sue
cess of breeding and rearing trotting
horses; that is, they never get the big
money that such horses occasionally
bring. 1t is the trainer or the man
that develops them that makes the
money, and most farmers have Meth
er the time nor skill to train such
horses. And again, there is only one
IN great many that brings the big
prices. If they haven't the speed
they sell comparatively cheap.
Then there is the coach or heavy
harness horse that sells very we'll,
providing he has quality with style
and action. These horses will sell
in pairs, so they must be well matched
and nicely trained, accustomed to the
sights and sounds of the city, such as
steam cars, street cars, automobiles,
etc., so that they are perfectly safe
when hitched to the family carriage.
On the farm they do not see such
things, and therefore will not bring
the big prices until they are educated.
Taking all in all, think the draft
horse is the most profitable one for
the farmer to raise. The term draft
applies to horses weighing 1900
pounds or more, but a good many
horses that are put on the market in
working order, or in thin condition,
weighing 1900 pounds, could be made
to weigh 1900 pounds or more il
properly fitted for market, so have
them fat when they are ready to sell.
The larger the horse, if he has quail
ity, the more he will bring. Those
weighing from 1900 pounds up to
draft weight are called chunks, and
sell fairly well, but not with the draft
class. So in breeding, we should Sc
lect our best mares, of good weight
and quality, having feet and legs,
such as Mr.. Martiny has described
to you, and breed them to good
horse
When you find horse that breeds
we'll with your mares, use him right
along as long as you get good colts,
and you will have lot of colts of the
same disposition, conformation and
color, SO that you can match up
teams, for it takes all three of these
to make perfectly matched team.
You can sometimes put three-year-
old and four-year-old, or four and
five, or a five and six-year-old to-
gether, and mate them up better, as
a nicely matched team always brings
a little more money than if not
matched, but the least defect in a
matched team is color. After all,
there is no bad color for good
hOrSe.-David Imric.

Dust and Hogs.

A dust bath does very we'll for
fowls, but it is hard on hogs. Per-
haps you have kept your hogs in one
lot till the grass is all killed off
where they feed. The corn is thrown
but in one spot, and the hogs root in
the dust for the kernels, says an ex-
change. Every time they run for
iced or swill they stir up a cloud of
dust in dry weather. Maybe they
sleep in dusty place.
The result is that they breathe
more dust than they should, and
many die because their lungs get
:logged up and infamed.
They may act as though they had
q bad cold or pneumonia or cholera
when none Of these things are the
matter.
Change the feeding ground so as
to get the hogs out of the dust. No
matter whether they have reached
the stage of dying Or not, it is best
TO guard against loss.

Shrinkage of Wheat.

An old farmer recently told the
writer Of an experiment which dis
proves the common idea of loss in
wheat by shrinkage between harvest
time and winter, which leads many to
sell wheat early if prices are good.
A flour barrel was filled with wheat
threshed in July, dry and in good
condition. 1t weighed 30 pounds
(barrel thirteen pounds) and was
kept in dry place, gimlet holes
being bored in the barrel to prevent
heating. Occasionally barrel and
contents were weighed and it was
found that it did not vary except in
damp seasons, when it increased
three-fourths of pound. At the
end Of twelve months the weight was
just the same to the ounce as it was
the year before, or the day when the
wheat was stored away.
