STOCK
SILAGE FED STEERS.

Fifteen steers were secured by the
department of animal ~husbandry at
the State College last fall and were
fed according to a plan given below,
careful note being made of the weight
of each animal. The following data
procured by Prof. Mcdonald will be
of interest to farmers and stock rails
ers:
Average weight of steers Nov. 81,
1,030 lbs. each.
Average weight (shrunken) at end
of period, 1901 lbs. each.
Average gain per head, I'll lbs.
At the beginning of the feeding Pc
riod the steers were fed alfalfa hay
exclusively; at the end of the first
week they were fed one pound of
grain (wheat) and five pounds of
silage each per day. This amount was
gradually increased until December %,
when they were fed ten pounds of
grain, 80 pounds of silage per day in
addition to alfalfa hay.
Altogether they consumed 213 bush
els of wheat, costing 70 cents per
bushel, $149.10; 20 tons of silage at
$3.50 per ton, $50; 8R tons of alfalfa
hay at $12 per ton, 1902. The total
of feed expense is $301.10.
The steers cost 3h cents per h.,
or an average per head of $36.05.
The steers sold for 5 cents per h., or
an average of $6O.O5. Thus the gross
profit per head was $24; the total
gross profit for fifteen steers was $3.50.
Deducting the cost of feed from the
total gross profit, a net profit of $500.
The steers were dehorned after they
were weighed in at the beginning of
the feeding period, shrinking a great
deal in consequence, so that their
weight at the beginning was actually
about 1000 pounds per head.
It was the purpose of the Expert
ment Station to divide these steers
into two lots and to give only n
lot silage, but the animals were so
wild that they could not be weighed
satisfactorily for experimental pur-
poses with the equipment at hand, so
they were all fed together. The re-
suits show, however, that silage has
given very satisfactory results and
that 1t can be used very %proftably
in feeding steers.

SCOURS IN CALVES

The cause of this disease may be
traced to a variety of sources, such as
dirty buckets, dirty feeding troughs,
bad housing, and irregular feeding.
Milk is of such a sensitive nature
that it absorbs impure bacteria from
any source where the impure germs
may be located. We cannot, therefore.
be too careful in handling the milk
used for calf-feeding. The troughs or
vessel from which the calves are fed
should be daily scalded and rinsed
with a little lime water. At the col
lege we have a pen for each calf, and
they can, therefore, get their ow

TAUGHT WIFE A LESSON.
New York Business Man Showed
 Spouse What $500 Looks Like.

There is a brokers wife residing learned a lesson in finance recently which, she says, will last her while She saw a pretty rug downtown and expressed a wish for it's possession. We don't need it for the moment" she told her husband, but l am per fectly fascinated with it and I'd like to own it-against the time when we own our house. Please write me a check for the amount-$600."
 The broker is man of means, but even men of means have looked twice and even thrice of late before buying $500 rugs that were not of immediate service. This broker, however, is judge of human nature-or else he wouldn't be a success in his line of busness-and he saw an avenue of escape
 q haven't my book with me-" he glbly said, but I'll send you the mon- ey as soon as I get downtown"
 And he did. He sent his clerk to the bank with instructions, loaded him up with $600 in silver, and sent him up to the house. When the man arrived he asked to be shown to the dining room, and without word he dumped the contents of the sack in which he carried the silver It made pig pile-6O0 round, glittering dol lars-and Mrs. Broker was impressed.
 A check wouldn't have appealed to her for moment, but the money ac. tually talked. She looked at the heap of silver, and fingered it, too, and at last she said: You take this money back. Tell MT. Blank I've changed my mind guess I can do without the rug for the present"

Use for Old Gown.

Many an old-fashioned satin evening gown is lying by considered hopeless, yet such frock has wondrous possi- bilities. It will probably have per fectly plain skirt, with or without train. Anyway, it will be only the right length in the front, so as to bring it up to date. Cut the skirt off foot above the hem and insert a deep band of filet lace.
 This will make it possible to bring the skirt above the waist line. The old fashioned waist will provide sufficient material for draping a blouse or filet net or lace.

It does not relieve men who can get their lives insured from the duty of so doing, but there are some men with families who cannot get their lives insured upon any terms, and others whose expenses are so near their incomes that they cannot save the money for premiums on any adequate amount of insurance"

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That From Natural Springs Is General.
Iy Most Nearly Pure.

That From Natural Springs Is General.
Iy Most Nearly Pure.
The purity Of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which 1t
is prepared for the market. The sup
ply of common salt, the most indispen-
sable of all the seasoning substances
both as a relishing condiment and a
well-nigh universal food preservative,
is exhaustless, yet even SO there is salt
and salt. ...
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
to say nothing of its exposure to all
kinds of dirt in its shipment from sea-
ports: The Turks island or rock salt,
which is still largely used in pork
packing and in the manufacture of ice
creams, comes to the United States in
holds of vessels continually subjected
to dirt and foul odors. Upon it's ar
rival it is again handled, then packed
in coarse burlap bags, permitting dust
to sift into the salt. In this condition
it reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product Of
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual pre-.
duction from this source in the United
States, reaches more than $4,000, 900
bushels, the State of New York, in the
vicinity of Syracuse. furnishing large
proportion of this important supply.
