He thought the Hawaiians should

Fisher said that system is used

the trouble was in getting them to

the Indians have some of the richest

FEEDING SILAGE WITH GRAIN
Indiana Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton Asks Pertinent Question and
Makes Comment on Replies.

Purdue university Qndiana) agri-
cultural experiment station submitted
the following question among others to
$500 Indiana farmers and feeders
when feeding silage. what kind Of
grain and roughage do you feed?"
The agricultural stations comment
on compilation of the replies received
is as follows:
In answer to the above question 1t
was found that 80 per cent. of the
feeders using sorn silage depended
upon corn as the main part of the
grain rotation. Ten per cent. are
feeding either cottonseed or linseed
meal in addition to other grain with
silage. This. according to the results
secured at Purdue experiment station
in the winter of 1906-07, would indi-
cate that the advantage of feeding a
concentrated heterogeneous feed with a
ration composed of corn and corn sill
age is not generally appreciated as
much as 1t should be. 1t was found
that the addition of cottonseed meal
to such a ration resulted In an in
crease in value of six cents per bush
ell on corn fed over and above the cost
of concentrated feed. In other words,
II proved to be a highly profitable In
vestment TO feed limited amount of
cottonseed meal with a ration COM
posed of shelled corn, corn silage and
clover
"In the purchase OF commercial feed
ing stuff the fat content is Of less i'm
portance than the protein content. Pro
TEN is the necessary ingredient for
practically all farmers and dairymen
TO purchase 1t is simply a matter
of good business policy to be able to
go into the market and select the most
digestible protein for the least ex-
penditure of money"

1t Is In the dairy that the silo does

about the right amount of ensilage

or seven pounds of ground grain, with

or splotches on It, This would Indicate
the disease. The glands In the throat
should be examined. They will some
times be speckled and hemorrhagic-

~ their blood supply viii be rup-
tured. There IL one pair of glands in
the throat which is never affected in
cholera, but IL with tuberculosis,
writes DR.. McIntoch in the Weekly In
ter Ocean.
The place next to examine will be
the pleural cavity. or the division of
the body which contains the lungs and
heart. In case OF death from chilera
the lungs will often be congested and
parts Of them filled with blood The
healthy lung will float In water, but
congssted one will sink There will
be splotches and redness scattered
over the surface. Sometimes the hog
will have pneumonia a. a result of
the cholera, and this win be seen In
the filled, congested condition OF the
lungs. In winter this sometimes kills
the hog when it would have recovered
from the cholera itself The heart
Will often show Inflammation and
redness.
The kidneys and spleen often show
small spots scattered over the surface
like those on turkey egg.
On the kidney these may be seen
more plainly after the capsule or It's
sue covering the organ is peeled of.
The stomach is likely to show spots
OF Inflammation on the outside and
be infiamed on the inner surface The
many small glands In the region may
show the same characteristic speckled
condition as those in the neck.
Along the intestines will likely be
found the splotchy condition that looks
as If drop of blood had fallen and
spread out The splotches, however,
will not wash Off
The above indications are more
likely to be found in the acute form OF
cholera, and are associated with a
rapid working action of the disease
and rather sudden deaths. 1t Is the
most virulent form and should be
carefully guarded
