SILAGE APPETITES OF cows
SHOWN IN BELTSVILLE TESTS

A series of experimental feeding
tests conducted by the United States
Department of Agriculture at its
Beltsvile, Md, livestock farm, re-
vealed some interesting information
as to the effect of SLIDING upon the
palatabilty of various plants found
on farm or range.
During the last summer and fall "a
bout $50 different plants and combina
tons of plants were packed in bar
rels in the same manner that ensilage
is placed in a silo. The purpose was
to study the effect of the silo fermen-
tation upon the fiber. and other fea-
lures of the plants. 1t was thought
possible that silage would overcome
some Objectionable qualities of GER
tain plants, in addition to breaking
down the fiber of some which were
too woody for stock feed
The various lots of silages were
taken to Beltsvile to test their pala-
liability as cattle feed. The tests were
not protracted enough to give hnal
conclusions. but a number OF interest
ing results were obtained. Both wild
and tame sunhowers were eaten read
although the peculiar flavor and
woody stalk of the former make it
distasteful in its. natural state. Rus
sian thistle was eaten in the course
of about H. hours. and the same was
true of ragweed, which cattle seldom
touch in the field. Canada thistles and
castor bean plants without seed were
eaten quite readily Jack bean vines
and pods were eaten rather reluctant
w. The cows ate sliced Australian
salt bush. but not the native plant.
Sliced onion tops were fed to four
cows; two ate them and two refused
them. Buckwheat also provided a
choice morsel Cabbages, which in
their natural state are eaten avidly
by cattle. were absolutely untouched
when sliced. the product being in
many respects similar to sauer kraut
but without the salt Giant rye grass
went untouched. The cattle were not
compelled To eat any of the sliced
products to satisfy hunger, as hay
was fed them between sliced rations
and they had the regular portions Of
grain The tests were not entirely con-
elusive, especially as the quantities
were so small that the animals did
not have an opportunity to get ac-
customed to unfamiliar hayors.
The department may make more
extensive tests another season on
some of the materials, as there was
no opportunity with barrel lots 10

One fortunate family is the proud
possessor of a chicken yard filled with
nice fat chickens, and one Sunday

SETTLING CHILD
REN'S DISPUTES.
BY Mary E. Dozier.

II all happened one day between the
little folk in the kindergarten room.
but IL set the older folk to thinking
kindergarten had not yet started,
| and Tim, little fellow of three and
half walked over and took the oak
chair that Clifton, aged five and half
| had placed beside the table for work.
When Clifton realized what had hap
pened, tug of war began, and the two
children were soon joined by others,
most of them to aid little Tim.
The kindergarten teacher stopped
what she was doing and gave her at
tention to the group and, although she
might have stepped over and put an
end to the struggle, she only stood by
and watched.
1t looked as though the trouble
would never end, and as though some
one might be hurt, but still she did
not interfere; she only looked on,
ready, however, to take a hand il il
became necessary.
At last one of the older boys was
called to help. He studied the situation
observed that the fuss was over an
oak chair and that there was one more
oak chair in the room; he solved the
problem by offering the vacant chair
to little Tim all was settled to every
ones satisfaction? Isn't it because we
interfere too soon instead of giving
them chance to work out their prob
lens for themselves?
The same little Tim of the chair cpl
sode had habit of slapping children
when he became excited. He was not
a malicious child, but he sometimes
had an unfortunate way of expressing
his friendliness, and although the
teacher understood his really affec-
tionate nature, the children of four
and five who received the neighborly
slaps resented them.
One day Tim slapped a child who
retaliated and several blows ensued
before the teacher observed the affair
Tim received one slap too many, and
he began to weep and back away. The
teacher stepped in just then and re-
marked, IF little boys hit people,
people will hit back at them, some
times" 1t was interesting to watch
the change of expression on Tins face
and also to observe how his treat
ment of his playmates improved in
the days following the affair.
A child psychologist recently made
this remark, 81 wonder if we are not
having so many lawsuits today, es-
pecially contests over wills, because
the children were not allowed to set
tie their disputes in the back yard"
Isn't there food for thought in that
remark? OF course we are not to al
low the seven-year-old brother to take
everything from the three-year-old
sister; he may need some reasoning
just there. but when children are not
too unfairly matched isn't it wise to
give them a chance to thresh out the
matter without always an interference
from their elders?
There are undoubtedly many times
when the grown-up must use his judg-
ment for the physical, as we'll as the
moral. well-being of the child, but
still plead that we first give children
a chance to settle their own disputes.
