Very little has been done as yet
along the line Of testing sIlage as a
ration for lambs. The Illinois expert.

Quoting some feeding experiments
along this line and the results have
been very satisfactory. SIX lots OF
lambs OF the same age and weighing
an average Of ninety-three pounds
were IN the feeding test. One lot WAS
fed no silage at all, their ration being
l.42 pounds Of corn and 1.12 pounds OF
hay per day. The other five lots were
fed varying amounts Of enSilaSe with,
lighter rationS OF hay and corn. At
the end Of the period 1t was found the
lot fed hay and corn only had made a
gain Of thirty-three pounds each, the
average cost per pound OF gain being
&c cents. The lot fed the most sIlace
had a ration Of lis pounds shelled
rorn, los pounds sllage and "a
pounds hay, and during the period
made total gain in weight of $50
pounds. with an average cost peri

dropped. The country is making only 4
moderate raauisition, and Minneapolis,
in turn, is not calling upon Chicago,

1T was known in August that one of the
,the largest crops had been raised in
.Minnesota and North and South Dakota
"a fall money demand of large proper
tions was spredicted. Railroads looked
for an oVsr5urdenlng grain tonnage and
feared congestion, and the grain trade
expectedth Minneapolis elevators to fill
up sagidly. This has not happeaed.
Farmers are holding the grain. They
are filledswith the ideas of higher prices.
