The Price Of a Life.

no O6U0O " y 6ssOs
According to Angl0-SaxOn law. ev-
cry mans life, including that OF the
king. was valued at a fixed price. ana
any one who took 1t could commute the
offense by a money payment upon u
fixed scale. The life Of peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings,
that of man Of noble birth 200 shii-
lings, and the killing Of king involved
the regicide in a payment of 200 shii-
Ings. 1t has been pointed out that the
heir to the throne could thus get rid of
the existing occupant by numbering
him and thereafter handing over the
fine. according to the scale. to the ex-
chequer, when his offense would be
purged and his money would come
back to himself. for in those days the
sovereign received all fines as personal
perquisites. There is very little doubt

Corn Fodder for Fattening Steers.

Prof. H. r. Smith, of the Nebr.
aska experiment station. has for a
number of years been accommodating
data on the various methods and plans
of fattening steers. In all his work
he has kept in mind two main factors,
namely, the cost of making gains and
economy in the expenditure of labor.
He has obtained most satisfactory re-
suits from the use of corn fodder 1.-THE
whole plant when it is judiciously
used along with shelled corn and alf-
alta hay. Summarizing the results
OF experiments conducted few years
ago at the Nebraska station. Profess
sor Smith says:
1.-The objection that is usually rails
ed against the practice of cutting and
shocking corn for feeding purposes is
the labor involved in husking it from
ne shock. The fact that a great deal
OF corn may be fed to cattle in the
stalk unhusked is entirely over looked.
In 19O5-O6 experiment one lot of ten
two -year-old steers was fed corn fod-
der for a period of twelve weeks in
comparison with the same amount of
snapped corn and slower fed another
lot. Two-thirds of all the corn given
the one lot was attached to the stalk,
the remainder consisting of shelled
corn TED at night. Charging four
cents per bushel for husking, the cost

should, he should post himself on
breeds and breeding and feeding.
Then he should study markets and
distribution and learn something about
cooperation.
Now any bright, wide awake farm
boy can get the substance of this on
the farm, if he will, and is given the
time. He will get it better in an
agricultural college, however, provid-
ed is aim is single and he does not
allow himself to be diverted by other
things, and does not allow himself to
get into expensive habits nor to get
out out of the habits of work and
economy which belong to the farm.
They are really about the best part
of the farm education.
We are speaking now of the boy
who does not expect to go into any of
the semi-aqricultural occupations, such
as teaching or editing or becoming an
expert in livestock judging, or things
of that sort, but of the boy whose
parents would like him to stay on the
farm and be with them in their old
age. For this sort of boy there is
no better business than farming, no
business that requires q higher intel
ligence, more careful habits of study
and observation, or more executive
ability. 1t is not everybody who is
fit to be q farmer. Farmer.

affected until a much longer time had
elapsed. This period of immunity
varied with individual cows from less
than month to more than a year.
There was finally reached a condition
of low vitality in which a sudden and
complete breakdown occurred. This
stage was marked by loss of appetite,
a general haggard appearance, luster-
less eyes, a rough coat, and very rap
id decline in both live weight and
yield of milk. If salt was supplied at
this period recovery as rapid. In one
case potassium Chord as given in
stead of common salt (sodum chic
rid. Considerable of the potassium
salt was eaten, though cows ordinarily
refuse to touch it, and recovery fol-
lowed as quickly as when common salt
was supplied -evidence that not the
lack of sodium but the lack of chlorin
was responsible for the troubles. The
breakdown due to the lack of salt,
usually occurred after calling when the
milk flow was heavy, and generally
the cows giving the largest amount of
milk were the first to show distress.
Babcock points out that the amount
of salt required in the ration will vary
greatly in different localities. Soils
which contain large quantities of salt
doubtless produce feeding stuffs con-
tanning more salt than those poor in
this ingredient; and again the water
of streams and wells varies greatly
in its salt content. Those facts
doubtless account for the disagreement
among experimenters in different parts
of the world as to the Importance and
value of salt. Cows in milk and
sheep show the greatest need of salt
fattening cattle, horses, dry cows, and
stock cattle require less salt: and the
pig but a little. -Hord's Dairyman.

of gains was the same in both lots.
In 19O6-O7 this comparison was
again made and half of all the corn
fed was attached to the stalk. Here
cost of production was practically the
same. again the being only ten cents
per hundred less for snapped corn.
The feeding of corn on the stalk in
the morning with shelled corn and alf-
alta hay at night is providing to be a
very economical system of beef pro-
duction. and it may be continued
throughout the entire period by stack
ing the bundles near the feed yards
for use in late winter. For such pur-
poses corn which has been drilled q
little thicker than usual is best because
the ears are somewhat smaller. though
it should not be planted SO thickly that
the yield of corn will be reduced. By
feeding corn fodder We utilize the
stalk and yet are put to no extra la
Dor in husking it. In fact, corn can

shock cheaper than it can be picked
and cribbed. in as much as three men
with a team and harvester can cut and
shock seven acres per day. Records
from the farm department Of this ex-
pertinent station show that it costs
S1.1S per acre to cut and shock corn,
which figure does not allow for the
wear and tear on the machine. Three
cents per bushel would cover the cost
of haresting corn with machine and
putting it in shocks in which form it
may be fed direct to the cattle.
There is no question in our minds
but what many of our stockmen subs
cribers have tried out this plan and
hav found it to be satisfactory. We
have i'm mind one instance where an
extensive feeder puts i'm shock at least
100 acres of corn annually and this is
practically all fed out during the win
ter months to fattening steers. In
this case it is fed on the ground in
the pastures excepting only when in
the ground is soft and when it is COW
cred with snow. His reason for hand
ling it in this way lis that it distri-
butes the manure absolutely without
labor and he further believes that
the exercise obtained by cattle in pick
ing up their roughage and part of the
grain in this way actually contributes
to the making of gains" 1t goes
without saying that when it comes to
the matter of carrying steers for a
long feeding period there will be too
much waste too attempt to feed corn
fodder in this way through to the end.
AS steers get fat and lazy they need
their food in concentrated form and if
FODDER is used too extensively they
will not eat enough to make maximum
gains. On the other hand, during the
first three months Of feeding period
the plan of using corn fodder some
what extensively is entirely feasible
and practicable. -The Iowa Home

Effect of Excessive Consumption OF
Salt.

The K. Farm of Sidnaw, Michigan,
desires to know our opinion as to thu
possibility of salt causing abortion in
cows. They enclose a clipping on the
subject.
The article to which this inquirer
refers says i'm substance that salt in
terferes with the breeding powers of
animals and in some instances causes
abortion. We gather from the article
that the sailing of the herds was done
spasmodicallye and in some instances
the animals became ravenously hungry
for salt.
We are not particularly surprised
that animals deprived of salt for some
time or given it irregularly would stuff
er more or less from such practices.
Suppose an animal was given feed
but once week and then given all
that it wanted. what results could be
expected? 1t is not necessary for us
to make any further comment upon
this particular phase of the subject,
except to say that salt would be less
harmful than any other fed that we
could mention.
We have always been led to believe
that salt was necessary for all live
stock. Excessive consumption of salt
is apt to work injury, as it increases
the amount of water excreted in the
urine. 1t creates. what might be
termed an abnormal thirst and animals
are apt to drink too much water which
will injure their digestion and may
lead to other disturbances. When
animals are allowed free access to salt
at all times they will consume only
enough to meet the requirements of
their bodies. 1t is quite possible
that feeding salt to excess might
prove injurius to the breeding powers
of animals and even cause abortion,
but. if regularly fed in reasonable
amounts, or, better still, if kept before |
the animals at all times. We believe |
that it is far more beneficial than in
furious. and We base our judgment
upon the following, which We take i
from Professor Henry's Feeds and
Feeding: |
"Of the numerous salt-feeding
only those of Babcock
and Carlyle of the Wisconsin Station
are satisfactory and conclusive. In
these trials dairy cows, well nourished
other wise, Were given no common
salt (sodum cloride) for long periods
than year in some instances.
The following conclusions Were raach-
ed: In every case the cows exhibited
an abnormal appetite for salt after
having been deprived of it for two or
three weeks, but in no case did the
health of the animal, as shown by the
general appearance, of the live weight
Or the yield of milk, appear to be
