SUMMARY OF FEEDING TRIALS
Results Of Experiments Made at North
Dakota Agricultural College With
Various Kinds Of Feed.

(By J. II. SHEPHERD. Dean, North Da-
kota Agricultural College.)
The trials reported upon in Bulletin
45 on horse feeding trials gave the
following results:
/. Bronze hay gave as good results
when fed to work horses as did tim
othy hay.
2. Dat straw was satisfactorily
used for feeding horses which did light
work and for those which were idle.
One-fourth lore grain was required
to support horses doing light work
when they were fed straw.
8. Barley was not equal to oats in
feeding value per pound, but vas
nearly as good. Mules did not relish
barley.
4 Matted barley was not 30 valu-
able for work horses as oats and was
not equal in value to the dry barley
FROM which 1t came.
5. Corn fed in connection with
oats in the proportion of 100 pounds
of corn to 1875 pounds of oats had
greater value than oats; IT'S pounds
of corn eQualed 100 pounds of oats
when fed to work horses.
6. Whole wheat fed alone was an
unsatisfactory feed for horses. Wheat
ground and mixed with bran In, the
proportion of two parts Of wheat to
one part Of bran by weight gave good
results.
!. Bran and shorts mixed in equal
parts by weight vas equal to oats in
feeding value.

BUILDING UP A DAIRY HERD:
Begin With Native Cow and Select
Those That Suit Best, 10 Advice :
Of Col. r. A. Wilkinson.

To start a dairy herd begin with
the native cow, was the advice given
by Col. r. A. Wilkinson, at the
Cavalier farmers institute. Select
those that suit you the best, that have
the type that you want and from those
breed up by using a sire from some
n Of the dairy breeds and then con-
tinue to select sires from the same
breed and better yet from the same
family. The third cross will be as
good al the pure-bred for practical
purposes, but of course not for breed
ing.
Care and feed are important con-
siderations and that Is one Of the rea-
sons that 1t is a good plan to start
with the native. Learn how by .prac-
ticing OF her, then as the breeding up
goes on the owner will increase his
knowledged Of how to care for the
more delicate bred animal, which in
return for good care and feed will
give a good return.
The colonel related his experience
with two native COWS that he had
kept close record Of. These COWS had
had poor care before he came into
possession of them in 1908. He be-
gan to car for them and to feed
them carefully. One of these cows
gave during the first four months of
her lactation period in 1908, 1881
pounds of milk. For the similar period
of 1909 she gave 1881 and for 1910
4,267, an increase Of nearly so per
cent. The other COW during the first
two months of her lactation period in
1908 gve LII pounds; for the sim
liar period in 1909 1888 pounds and
in 1910, 1898 pounds, an increase Of
Topper cent.
The cows were six years old at the
beginning Of the experiment. This
shows what good feed and care will
do with yer the ordinary COW. He
feeds orn and clover or alfalfa and
a little bran. Eight to ten pounds OF
ground corn, ten to twelve pounds Of
alfalfa hay and what corn fodder they
want per day makes a balanced feed
for them. If clover Is used instead Of
the alfalfa then three or four pounds
of bran is needed. If ensilage IL to
be had, let thirty to thirty-nve pounds
Of 1t take the place Of the corn and
corn fodder. II the clover or alfalfa
ia not to be had then 1t will be neces-
sary to feed bran and q couple Of
pounds Of oil meal.

force of impact of such waves was devised
by Stevenson over half century ago, and
notifications of this instrument have since
been introduced by several investigators.
According to Stevenson the maximum force
of an Atlantic wave is three tons per
square foot. French engineers find that
the force of the waves on the breakwater
at Cherbourg may attain three and half
tons per square foot
Some interesting examples of the height
to which breaking waves may be thrown
and the work they may do in moving
heavy objects are given by Wheeler in
his Practical Manual of Tides and
Waves"
Stevenson records a case in which water
was thrown to a height of 106 feet at the
Bell Rock light. At the Attorney break
water it is said that water has been thrown
upward 200 feet. At Peterhead, where the
fetch" is 800 miles, waves of thirty feet
in height and from 500 to 600 feet in length
have been recorded; the water has struck
the breakwater with such force as to be
thrown upward 100 feet, and blocks of
concrete Weighing forty tons have been
displaced af>levels of seventeen to thirty
six feet below low water
At Wick two stones weighing eight and
ten tons each were thrown over the para

higher waves occasionally occur as a result
of earthquakes or seaquakes. SOLITARY"
waves OF this character have sometimes
been encountered in otherwise tranquil
weather. taking vessels by surprise and
not infrequently sending them to the bot
tom.
According to Vaughan Cornish, who has
probably devoted more attention to this
subject than any other contemporary man
of science, the average height Of the waves
encountered in a severe storm at sea is
twenty feet, but the ordinary maximum
height of the waves in the same storm
will attain thirty feet In a storm of very
exceptional violence the average height
may reach thirty feet, and the maximum
height forty-five feet This is regarded as
about the limit of the height of waves due
to wind only. Cornish finds that in the
open sea the height of a wave in feet is
about one-half the velocity of the wind in
miles per hour.

though there is some doubt whether the
latter movement was due entirely to wave
action.
At the Bishop Rock lighthouse, which is
exposed to the full force of the Atlantic
waves, an iron column weighing over three
tons was thrown up twenty feet and landed
on top of the rock.
At the harbor works of Bilboa in 1894, a
solid block of the breakwater Weighing
LOO tons, was overturned from its place
and dropped into the water.
At Ymuiden breakwater a block of con-
crete Weighing twenty tons, placed outside

Measurements of the size of waves have
now been made systematically for many
years, but they relate chiefly to the waves
of the open sea, where the depth of the
water is so great that the friction of the
sea bottom exercises no modifying effect.
A few months ago the North German
Lloyd liner Brandenburs came into New
York harbor with its crows nest. fifty
feet above the water line, stove in, and
bearing many other marks of the damage
wrought by a monster wave that broke
over its bows about 1000 miles east of
Sandy Hook. The officers estimated the
height of the wave at sixty-five feet. This
height is exceptional but not unprece-
dented, for it must be remembered that the
breaking Of wave against an obstacle
throws the water to a far greater height
than the unbroken wave could attain.
