Paint Pot Hanished From Japan.

The paint pot is practically banished
from Japan. That is the first thing
you notice as you approach the coast;
for the first adventurous fishing boat
you pass is built, it would seem. Of
about half a dozen broad, implanted
deal planks. So with the sampans
that cluster round your ship as soon
as the anchor is dropped they are all
nature-colored, undecorated, and unde-
faced by a single lick of the paint
brush. So with the houses Of the
first Japanese street you enter, they
are weathered to the silvergray Of un-
painted pine. Such color as there is
proceeds from the iunumerable strips
of calico, inscribed with huge hero
glyphics. which flap perpendicnlarly
or horizontally before every house.

DOES IT PAY TO SHRED SOVERT
BY c. J. Fi.iweter, of ! H c Service
Bureau

| Shredded slower increases its feed
ing value. Prof Henry of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin has conducted
experiments which show that shred
ded stover is about "a per cent more
valuable when fed to mich cows than
it is in the uncut form. 1t is also
| estimated that about rs per cent Of
| the feeding value of corn stalks is lost
| by allowing the shocks to stand in tt G
| field two months. Allowing corn to
stand in the field not only decreases
| its value, but it increases the Difficult
ties of the cattle.
Just remember that every time 70
carry an armful of stalks into the barn
20 per cent of the digestible muir :
| ments contained in the feed go for TIE
production of physical energy neces-
sary for doing external work, 40 pc
cent is used for keeping up the body,
and q per cent Is returned in the
milk pail.
II you handle your corn crop prop
erly you will find 81 per cent of the
per cent in the ear, but if you allow
the shocks to stand in the field to be
beaten by the winters storms, you can
expect to lose anywhere from rs per
cent to so per cent of the total feeding
value of the stalks. On the average
acre from two to three tons of slower
are grown. In the stalks produced on
an acre of average corn, there are ap.
proximately IS pounds Of protein,
1900 pounds of carbohydrates, and %
pounds of ether extract. A steer
weighing 1000 pounds requires one
half of pound of protein, pounds
OF carbohydrates, and about one-tenth
of a round of ether extract daily.
Figured to az ex~cthess, there are
carbohydrates e2C~gn IN an acre OF
corn to last steer ten months, ether
extract enough to keep him in proper
condition for eight months, and pro-
tein in sufficient quantity to sustain
him for six months.
Probably the only argument against
shredding is the cost of preparation
When figured In dollars and cents, the
cost Of husking and shredding with a
machine is practically the same as for
hand work. Figures compiled by men
who feed whole stalks, by users Of
shredded slower, and by the owners of
machines give the following facts:
Cost of husking rs acres of shocked
corn, and getting the fodder in stack
The quality of corn used for the basis
of the following tables is slightly
above the average, forty bushels to
the acre being taken as a standard.
