FEW EXPERIMENTS IN FEEDS
Results Of Tests Made at the Canada
Experimental Farms With DIT
ferent Animals-

At the Canada experimental farms
in q horse feeding test 1t was found
that corn and bran 8 to 2, or barley
and bran s to 2, could be substituted
for oats and bran in the same pro-
portions, although both the corn and
barley were less palatable than the
oat ration.
Three lots of lambs were fed basal
ration Of "nutted oil cake bran,
oats and hay. With turnips as sup
Elementary feed, the gain per head
and day was .244 pound, at a cost Of
10 cents per pound; with ensilage as
a supplementary feed the correspond
ing gain was PA pound, at a cost of
cents per pound: with both turnips
and ensilage the gain was 81 pound
per head and day, at cost OF 1913
cents.
In swine feeding tests the cost per
pound Of gain on ration Of shorts,
ground oats, feed -four, bran, roots and
skim milk was less than on ration OF
corn and barley. Pork production was
cheaper when wintering swine In the
open than when confined in pens. The
open lots, however, were provided
with cabins for sleeping.

used to such things as street numbers,
the woodsman had neglected to write

i skirts delay traction cars, and

they wore wide skirts.
