Planting trees will do more to modi-
fy conditions on the prairie than any
ono other thing that the farmer can
do. Trees lessen the effect of the
wind on the crop for distance of
eighty feet for every foot in height.
A wind break thirty feet high will
help the crop to distance of fifteen
rods. In case of hot winds the in
crease due to the protection will more
than pay for the cost of caring for
the trees. Then, again, the trees will
pay for themselves in the wood and
lumber that they produce. From a
money standpoint they will at least
repay all that is spent on them pro-
vided the work is we'll done.
The comfort, the homelikeness that
trees bring is another big reason why
they should be planted Without trees
the home on the prairie is lonely.
With the trees it becomes the peer

Corn as a Horse Feed.
BY }. II. Shepperd, North d.
kota Agricultural College.

+ + j. + i. !. i. j. \ !. !. i. j. \ i. ::
Two 1,00O-pound mules of good type
were used in a feeding trial with corn
for eighty-four days. They were worked
together In a team during the trial, one
receiving a ration of oats and corn
and the other oats alone. Home grown
ear corn was used for the trial and
was fed at alternate feeds with oats,
the same weight of corn and cob be-
ing fed as of oats when that ration
was given. Little or none of the cobs
were eaten.
basis of the amount of shelled corn
consumed. The feeding in the trial
was alternated between the two
mules. When one was fed corn and
oats the other received the oats alone.
In that way the influence which the
have exerted in the trial was counter
acted.
A smaller quantity of grain was fed
when the corn and oat ration was
used, as the plan of the trial was to
maintain them while doing the amount
Of work required. 1t was found that
less grain was needed when corn was
used: accordingly the quantity given
them was lessened.
Records Of the experiment show that
when corn and oats were fed the two
mules consumed 1904 pounds, an av-
erage of 40 pounds per animal per
day. In the same time. feeding oats
alone, 1,472 pounds were consumed,
IN average of $50 pounds per animal
Per day. The experiment further
shows that when the oat ration. was
? ted, they required one and ope-tenth
pounds more grain per day to: support
them than they did when given oats
and corn. When oats was fed they
lost an average Of six-tenths of a
pound per day. while the oats and
corn gave an average gain of seven
tenths Of pound per day.
One hundred pounds of the oats and
corn ration consisted of $50 pounds
o( oats and 444 pounds of corn. ,
The experiment shows that 1875
pounds Of the corn and oat ration
equals 100 pounds Of oats unmixed,
for feeding mules. Every 88.5 pounds
Of oats and corn fed, consisted Of 1872
pounds of oats and 1913 pounds OF
corn. 1t would seem fair to conclude
that it was the SOS pounds Of corn
which caused the SIS pounds Of the
mixed ration to equal 100 pounds of
oats unmixed -
II the above conclusion 10 correct,
100 pounds of oats 10 equal in feed
ing value to IT'S pounds of corn. Ito,
Oats at Is cents per bushel equals
7o.1 cents per 100 pounds; corn at
