GRINDING THE GRAIN

fed unless ground or rolled"
His experiments back up his asser-
ton. Test lots of steers were fed
one lot with whole corn, one with
ground corn and the third with ground
corn and ground corncobs. Seven
hogs followed each lot of steers. The
hogs with the steers fed whole corn
increased in weight 1877 pounds to
each 100 pounds of corn fed to the
steers. The hogs following those fed
ground corn only made or of pouno
gain on each 100 pounds of corn meal
fed, and the hogs following the steers
on meal and ground corncobs made
an even less gain.
Grinding grain is an especially good
practice when feeding ensilage be-
cause the gums of the animals some
times become tender, particularly if
the ensilage shows acidity. Grinding
81 ain gives the maximum efficiency in
assimilation of nutriment. Not only
does grinding the grain increase its
value, but the feed grinder works up
a great deal of low-value feedstuffs
that would otherwise be total waste.
We are raising some corn and we
are going to grow great deal more
of it, so whatever we may say about
corn feeding holds good here. With
the feed grinder available it is
waste of both time and feed to shuck
the corn and shell it. The shuck con-
tains feed value and so do the cobs.
The cobs are rich in carbohydrates,
analysis showing 44.S Grinding husks
and cobs along with the cobb adds
9 per cent to the value of the corn
meal. A pound of corn-and-cob meal
is equal to pound of cornmeal.-Den'

Does it pay to grind grain for feed?
Generally speaking it does. From 6
to II per cent of the whole grain fed
is undigested, and when this loss can
be saved by grinding it VIII pay eT-
cry farm with stock to use the grind
er. We have entered an era of high
priced feed, the end of which no
man can foresee, and the higher the
price the more this to IL per cent
saved through grinding means dollars.
Nature intended grain for reproduc>
tive purposes rather than for livestock
to eat. and protected each kernel with
relatively insoluble resistant sub
stance which the feeding experts have
uroven that in some instances the di'
gestive Juices never penetrate
The amount of saving made through
grinding grain or feed depends upon
the kind of animals to which It is fed
and on the kind of grain. Young ami
mails of all breeds do best on ground
grain. because their mastication is
never through. Old animals do best
On ground grain because their teeth
are moor and they swallow a great
deal of grain whole and never digest
if Hard-worked animals do best on
ground grain feed. Under the head
of bard,warked animals come horses
milf COWS and and animals fed heavily
for fattening or for growth. The high
ar the price of grain the greater the
saving mode by grinding corn, oats
harley and even alfalfa. The leadlng

With the American Army in
France, Thursday, May 3O.-Two, and
possibly three, German airplanes have
been shot down in aerial activity
onthwest Of Toul. Lieutenant Ricken-
baker bagged one and rescued a fell
low lieutenant whose machine had
been damaged. The Germans cap
tured an American aviator whose ma
chine fell in No Mans Land.
Several persons were injured, hos
pital windows shattered and private
residences wrecked in a pretentious
German raid last night upon Amer
lean hospitals far behind the Pi-
cardy battle line.
Three American ambulances were
caught in the raid. Sergeant Wells
of San Francisco, driving the firss
ambulance, said:
"Our ambulances were hurrying to
hospitals with patients. A bomb
wrecked q building directly n frunl
of us in a narrow street. Flying mis-
siles perforated our ambulance and
We wer al hurried out, but escaped
with a few scratches"
The Germans severely lombard
ed the American positions in Cantig-
ny. They fired four thousand high
explosive shells in a brief time. Sew
eral attempts at attack were repulsed
with heavy losses, by the Americans.
The Germans tried to \ use tanks in
one attack. The enemy infantry had
hardly appeared when they and the
tanks were driven back in disorder by
American heavy artillery. The Amer
leans are constantly improving their
new positions.
