First of all, he continued, 81 must
apologize frankly to you for my

came to us with the best of creden-

himself and signed the name to

when he found himself in that neigh

the heat, which had been intense that
week, or the result of the nervous
exhaustion brought about by his
despondency-but curious lapse of
memory overcame him.
Luella called it fate afterwards.
The events of the past three

The spell was still upon him as he

down at his empty desk, nodded ia

Silage is an excellent ruton for

with hay and other forage.
The horse fed silage as a portion
Of their ration consumed less grain,
made their gains al a lesser cost per
pound, we're sleeker and better fin-
ished than those fed on rations not
containing silage"
In this test they noted that silage
could be fed IN amounts varying from
Eve to twenty pounds per day. They
recommended silage free from mold
and made from corn fairly we'll ma,
tured. They also advised against
feeding horses large quantities Of
silags. especially after coming In from
heavy work when they are In heated
condition.
The Michigan Experiment station
has been feeding horses for many
years on silage and favors ita use,
especially for horses net at heavy
work. IN test made some years ago
With seven teams OF work horses, one
horse OF each team was fed hay and
grain, while the other received small
amounts OF hay and grain with about
fifteen pounds Of corn silage These
teams we're doing moderate work
The experiment lasted twelve weeks
and the following results we're noted:
The silage-fed horses showed an sv-
