MILLET HAY FED TO HORSES
North Dakota Station Finds 1t Good
When Given in Moderation With
Some Concentrate.

Millet hay fed in moderation is a
good food for horses. 1t should not
be the sole roughage and should be
fed with some concentrate. Make sure
that the hay has been cured prop
-erly.
Several years ago the North Da-
kota experiment station found that
millet hay when fed in excessive guam
titles had a tendency to cause an
increased action of the kidneys as
we'll as lameness and swelling of
the joints. This seemed to be due to
an infusion of the blood into the
joints, which destroyed the texture of
the bone. When fed In limited
amounts and in connection with grain
there was no such tendency, but on
the other hand it proved very good
food.

GLAZED STAGE BEST SILAGE
When Corn Kernels Are Well Denied
1t Is Ready for SiIo, Is Opinion
of Specialists.

The question, "When is the best time
to cut corn for silage?" is again being
frequently asked. The weight of ex-
perence of experiment station men at
University Farm is that corn is ready
for the silo when the kernels are Well
dented or glazed Analyses made by
chemists have shown that the corn
from an average. acre cut at the glazing
period contains 1908 pounds of di-
gestible matter as against 1920 pounds
when the corn is cut at tasseling time.
While there is larger amount of
green corn to the acre when the corn
is in the tasseling stage, the total
amount of dry matter is not nearly so
great then as when the corn has
glazed. The dry matter per ton
amounts to 2S5 pounds at the tasseling
stage, 1923 at the silking stage, 389 in
the early milk, 444 in the late milk,
and 523 pounds at the glazing stage.
In case there is danger of frost, corn
should be cut early rather than al
lowed to wait for the maximum
pounds of dry matter.
