Texas Grows Oranges.

Southwest and southern texas is this
year entering for the first time into the
orange market Of the country, says a
writer In Farm and Ranch. Satsuma
oranges are being shipped in quanti
ties and are yielding big returns. The
Satsuma is grated upon the Citrus tri-
foliata. originally imported from Japan
and used as hedges. This tree, being
deeiduous makes the fall Of sap in cold
weather overcome the danger from
frost which the orange tree as an ever
green otherwise suffers Satsuma or
anges have been grown successfully In
a latitude City miles north Of San An-
tonic. Groves are being planted over
this section. and southwest Texas is
preparing to compete with California
and Florida in the orange business.

SNOW For Pol,ltrx.


The possibility Of lessening the labor
of caring for poultry by supplying
snow instead OF water has been stud
led at the Connecticut storrs expert
ment station BIZ G. * Graham When
pullets and hens were fed wheat screen
ings and beef scrap from hoppers III
colony houses on low ground frozen
during most of the experimental period
and covered with snow during part of
the time the old hens did not furnish
as many eggs or appear to be IN as
good condition as the younger birds.
The old hens we're apparently affect
ed BY the snow, the egg production be-
Ing smaller on the days when snow
was on the ground aud also consider
ably less when the ground was frozen
that is. on the cold days when water
was not accessible These conditions
do not seem to have affected The Young
er birds. ana they show an increase iii
eggs Immediately after each snow
storm, gradually dropping back as the
snow disappears.
In the case of other lots kept under
much the same conditions Id houses on
higher and drier ground the cold
weather did not affect the egg produe-
ton materially, but there was a no
ticeable increase ID the amount of
grain eaten during the cold weeks
when comparison is made with the
very mild ones. This. however. may
have been caused BY the birds forag
ing more during the milder periods.
These birds did not appear to mind
the cold, aud there was not the slight

There are many precautions which
must be taken in feeding corn silage.
not only because Of lis effect upon
the COW. but because Of its effect upon
the milk. As rule sIi0s are NOT very
pIentifully distributed over the coup-
try. In fact. they are not nearly SO
common as they should be- but even Mt
the present time we find milk CON
densaries and creameries that are re-
fuslng the milk products or silage fed
cows. This is not because the silage
which the COW eats taints the milk,
but 1t is the silage which the COW
does not eat that talnts the milk. Only
last winter in conversation with a
prominent milk condenser the writer
was given these facts:
This gentleman made the statement
that the milk produced on his own
farm was produced largely BY the use
of corn silage, but great care was ex.
ercised In the feeding, The reason his
company prohibited the use of corn
silage in the production Of milk BY the
farmers and dairymen was because
of the carelessness with which the ST.
lage was fed. The odors were per-
mitted to remain in the barn, and this
odor was what ruined the milk
II the siio connects with the barn
by corridor, the feeding may be as
convenient as where the silo Is con-
nected directly with the barn. BY
keeping the doors of the corridor
closed the odor from the silo Is con
fined, and If the feeding is deferred
until after milking hours there is no
reason why there should be any odoi
of silage whatever in the barn. Often.
times, however, we find that the cows
are overfed Of siage. and a portion
of It remains in their feed boxes or
around their front feet. Naturally this
portion Of the feed decays and molds,
and very disagreeable otlor remains
to contaminate the milk-H. G. Van
Pelt in Jersey Bulletin.
