ter takes place as result OF fermen-
tation and teaching. To ascertain as
definitely as possible the amount OF
this loss, its causes, and means for
wholly or partially preventing 1t, the
dairy division of the United States
Department of Agriculture has been
conducting q series Of experiments.
The results of two years tests are
covered in professional paper, De-
partment Bulletin. 953. Nitrogen and
Other Losses During the Ensiling OF
Corn.
Samples OF siiage Analysed.
Samples of silage in cheesecloth
sacks were buried Mt various depths
and positions In silo AZ feet high by
IA feet In diameter, holding approx
mately $50 tons. The bags We're
weighed when put iS. and samples Of
the silage analyzed. When the bags
were reached in feeding out the silo,
the. contents were again weighed and
analysed.
The two years work furnished evil
dence of a downwash of the juice in
the silo carrying with 1t soluble FOOD
materials, so that the silage In the
| lower part of the silo may gain In
food material at the expense of the
upper part. There was an average loss
for all the bags OF nearly 10 per cent
of the dry matter. which apparently
is due largely to the fermentation OF
the carbohydrates and to the carry
Ing away of soluble material by the
Juice. The sugars almost entirely dis
appeared. There was a considerable
loss of crude fiber and of the furfurol-
yielding bodies. There was loss In
total nitrogen. which was larger when
the corn put into the silo was i'm
mature than when mature corn was
used. 1t is probable that this loss Is
due largely, II not entirely, to the
nitrogenous compounds In the juice
The albuminoid nitrogen suffered g
loss of over 30 per cent. while the
non-albumnoid forms increased sew
eral times their original weight.
Big Escape Of Juice.
There was gain of ether extract
probably due to the formation of new
ether-soluble bodies. The second sea
sou nearly 10000 pounds of juice es
capped from the silo. This juice car
ried considerable percentage o.
nitrogen OF various forms which II
ordinary practice would remain In thu
silo.
and the tests are being continued.

Carefully selected ana Srsoeo Eggs
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture AS a matter of fact, most OF
these so-called grades are meaning
less. The consumer usually Is guided
simply by the price asked, assuming
that II he pays the top price he will
get the best eggs. no matter what the
particular retaila, may call them. In
this he is partly correct, since the
wholesalers usually maintain prices
closely related TO the quality of the
eggs which they pass on to the re-
tailers, and the price which they
charge them Is reflected In the retail
price to the consumer
Retailer at Fault.
The difficulty Is that because OF
carelessness or ignorance on the part
of many retailers the eggs which they
receive from the wholesalers often
deteriorate rapidly while in the store.
Thus the retailer frequently receives
eggs of good quality, attaches fancy
name to them, and a price in proper
tlon to what he paid, and then lets
them deteriorate on his hands, so
that they are actually poorer in quail
ity than some cheaper eggs which he
may have Just received at his store.
Under present conditions the best
thing the consumer can do is to avoid
buying eggs at stores which are OBJ
viously careless In handling them,
telling the retailer just why he does
not buy eggs at his store. He should
also call the attention of the retailer
to any bad eggs bought Of him. The
pressure which can thus be exerted
by the consumer can be made an i'm
portant factor in bringing about a
much needed improvement in the han
ding Of eggs by retailers.

Newport Gives St. Adams
An Awful WallOping

who will not acknowledge now the
wisdom which prompted Mr.. Davis
| to take such radical step in dis
earding the local players, to re-
place them with better trained and
coached men. Saturdays victory
was the fifth straight one for the
locals.
Prominent among the border
city baseball stars, is Wally Brady,
the guardian of the hot corner.
Wally is really the nucleus of the
terrific hitting strength, which
on Saturday enabled Newport to
give "Doc" Newton, an unusual
right handler, a severe lacing.
Far be it from the writer to de-
tract from the twirling ability of
Newton, declared BY Ed. Cunning
ham, Boston Herald sporting
writer to be the best looking twirl-
er to play at Soldiers Field against
Harvard this year. On the mound
for the University of Vermont,
this self-same "Doc" Newton stood
the Cantabridgians on their heads
and won an extra inning game
from them for the third successive
defeat that the Vermonters have
pinned on the Harvard baseball
team in the last three years.
The weak defense put up by the
st. Adams infeld and outfield was
no incentive to "Doc" who would
have been obliged to pitch hitless
ball in order to emerge from the
fray victor In spite of the fact
that Newport got IL hits off New
ton, he has as much stuff on the
horsehide as any twirler that has
appeared on the Newport diamond
this year. "Doc" stands there on
the mound like a king and can
burn the pellet across the plate
with the speed Of a Walter John
son. He is an unusual hitter for
a pitcher, and is one of the fastest
men on the base paths ever seen in
this city. In the fifth "Doc" bang
ed out a clean hit off Koran, and
went way around to third while C.
Shannon was being thrown out on
his easy grounder, Koran to Ma
loney.
Feature plays were contributed
by Fred Maloney, the big New
port first baseman and by Wally
Brady. In the third inning, C.
Shannon slammed wicked
grounder several yards to Malo-
ney's left. The latter sprinted af-
ter the ball and completed a
back-handed stab of it that drew
round after round of applause
from the fans. Brady's contribu-
ton came in the same stanza, when
Atkinson slashed a ball right over
third base. 1t would ordinarily
have gone for double but Brady
bounced upon the sphere, clutch
ing it with his bare hand, and
heaving it to first all in the same
Atkinson just managed to
beat out the throw.

Revenue Collection for
the State of Vermont

Total collections by the United
States Bureau of Internal Revenue
throughout the State of Vermont
for the year ending June 80, 1921,
were S6,255,231,79. These taxesar
divided as follows in the Bureaus
summary: Income and Excess
Profits receipts, $4,000, 1880;
miscellaneous receipts, s1,452,052.-
40. In company with most Of the
states, Vermont shows a falling off
in this production of Governmental
revenue, the total collections for
the preceding yearbeing Sc, 700, 148
but the slump in this state is by no
means as great as in many states.
The year ending June 80, 1920
was the banner year in the states
history in respect to these collec-
tons, being nearly twice as pro-
life of tax receipts as the year
ending June 80, 1919, when the
collections for income and excess
profits were but $9,5e0,459.44..
