der is as good as ensilage, for it is
not, but the demarketable line be-
tween the two as rough feed for cat
tie is closer than the ordinary be-
lever knows.
In the Pennsylvania Station Bulle-
tin No. SO, corn slower and corn sill
age were compared with two lots of
six steers each. They were fed with
the concentrates corn and cottonseed
meal. In 126 days of the test the
average gain on corn slower was 214
pounds per steer and on silage 240
pounds. The total cost of the corn
slower ration was $103.73 and Of the
corn silage ration $1,000.
Husking and shredding machines
will not efface the silo, far from it,
but they will 'efface portion of the
enormous waste of your corn crop,
both of silo owners and of others.
How great this waste has been can
only be conjectured as whole, but
by the acre pretty accurate calcu-
lation can be made. Thus, for ex-
ample, if the value of the ear corn
from an acre of ground amounted to
$500, the value of the shredded
corn stalk from the same acre would
be normally SASS. Multiply this
by every acre of corn left (unshred-
ded) and the amount would be
enough almost to support the poor
of our big cities.
The average yield of corn slower
is between two and three tons to the
acre. Were we only to allow one
third of the average feed value Of
good hay, we should require only
three acres of this fodder to equal
one acre Of hay. Now hay is one OF
the most negotiable commodities
coming from the field. There is al
ways market for it, and of late
years it has commanded good prices
and yet in nearly every part of the
country where shredded fodder has
become customary it required short
hay crop to awaken the community
to the fact that shredded slower was
hay or is hay in everything but the
name and reputation.
Selling the hay and feeding the
income. Cheap food and high priced
butter and beef is the second link
A third link, so to speak, is in thu
nature of a rebate. We get bacl
part of what we give. In farming, a!
in business, we must render untt
Caesar what we take from him, an,
in this case Caesar is the soil. With
out going into the detail of sol
chemistry, it is sufficient to say tina
unless we return nitrogen and sal
containing humus to the field from
which we gather our corn crop, on
corn yield will grow less each year
just as the wheat yields are dimin

VII. The Open Door.
10000 American industries are daily
employing from % to 10000 workers
speaking more than a score OF Ian
guages. The psychological moment OF
the century is confronting the church.
for the door of industry is wide open
for the entrance of the gospel message,
to write the name of Jesus Christ in
the dust that settles like a pail on the
work shops and factories, to raise the
song of Bethlehem that fell from the
skies 1000 years ago on the wondering
ears of the shepherds watching their
iocks beneath the splendor of an east
ern midnight sky. GLORY to God in the
highest, and on earth peace!"
81 know of a land that is sunk in
shame,
OF hearts that faint and tire;
But l know of a name, a name, name
That can set that land ON fire.
Its sound is brand, its letters flame,
And know of a name, name. a name
That will set that land on fire."
