Corn Silage as
Feed for Horses

lengths less than one inch will facili-
tate packing. If tramping and pack
ing is properly done no feeding dam
ger is apt to result, but If it is inn
properly done air pockets may form
and cause the accumulation Of a
small mass of mold which, if over
looked in feeding, may be sufficient to
kill one or more of the animals fed.
Substitute for Hay.
In feeding, silage should. not be con-
sidered as the principal roughage for
horses and mules, but rather should
serve as partial substitute for hay
in the daily ration. Because of its
bulky nature, horses and mules doing
hard work should not be fed large
quantities Of silage, but due to its
laxative, tonic, and appetizing effect,
It is well suited for the maintenance
of idle horses and mules, brood mares
and growing stock. When used, silage
should be introduced gradually into
the ration and the amount fed should
generally not exceed 10 to 10 pounds
daily per animal.

Sell Direct to Consumer,
Most Profitable Method

Selling direct to the consumer Is
generally considered the most profit
able method Of disposing Of high
grade goods, for the charges of mid
dlemen are eliminated. The producer
is often 80 situated that he can build
up a retail trade among the families
Of a neighboring city or village, de-
livering his goods direct to the Gus
toner once or twice a week, or oftener
IL desirable. In this way he can
usually secure a substantial increase
over prices paid in the open market.
This is especially true in the case Of
strictly fresh eggs. 1t Is also often
possible to secure customers in city
that is within reasonable shipping dis
lance, expressing to them stated
amount Of eggs and dressed poultry
at regular intervals (once or twice a
week.. Hotels, restaurants, and
clubs are good customers, which can
be supplied in this way by contract.

can be done. The inventor himself
once pondered over the physical and
geographical problems of Manhattan
and offered a solution. He also pro-
posed an extension of Manhattan. He
would have extended it to Brooklyn
by filling the East river. After study
ing the plan of Mr. Thomson Mr.. Edi'
son expressed this opinion:
Your extension of New York is
bold and seems practicable. so far as
engineering is concerned. 1t beats
my old suggestion of filling in the
East river"
Instead of being better than your
plan, it is only the first part of it, .
replied the engineer.
He then explained that the proposed
extension of Manhattan Island was
only one step in a comprehensive
scheme for a city of 25,00O,000. AS
the addition to the tip end Of Manhat-
tan is the first step in that scheme,
Mr.. Thomson is concentrating for the
most part ON this phase of the un-
dertaking. He is designing what he
believes will be an ideal city, because
in building a modern city from the
ground up it would be possible to
avoid all the mistakes made in the
building of our present cities.
"Just to give you something to start
on" said the engineer, Imagine the
whole of Manhattan south of Forty
second street swept clean overnight
of every building, property l;ne sewer,
subway, etc. Think what wonder
full opportunity there would be to i'm
prove each and every detail, espe-
cially If you did not have to start re-
building without having time to think,
as is usually the case after an earth
quake or fire.
Ono Woman's View.
The views of women also have been
sought by Mr.. Thomson because he
believes it would be impossible to
design an idealistic city without the
ideas of the women"
Mr.. Thomson emphasizes the i'm
provements which would add to the
comfort of living, and even suggests
that each building be planned to cover
an entire block with the tenants gov
erned by submayor.

of coal nor cubic foot of gas in our
new city of Manhattan extended, as
we hope to get hydro-electric light

To Show Difference in Pro
teins Provided by Feeds.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultdre.)
The circulatory system of the cow,
with blood" actually flowing through
the arteries and veins, will be Illus
trated in a model to be shown by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at the national dairy show TO
be held this fall at Syracuse, n. L.
In the large model now being made
by the office OF exhibits liquids Will
circulate through glass tubes of vari-
Gus sizes, illustrating how nourlsh-
ment is taken up from the digestive
tract and carried to the udder, there
to be used in the manufacture OF
milk.
One of the objects Of this visual
method is to show the difference In
the proteins provided by various
feeds. The cow model will be de-
signed to show how the proteins OF
the feed are broken up by the d.
gestive system into the constituent
amino acids, which are transported in
the blood stream to the mammary
gland (the udder), where the neces-
sary amino acids are taken out Of the
blood and built up into proteins OF
the milk.
By means of this exhibit the De-
partment of Agriculture hopes to bring
out forcibly that it Is not only neces.
sary to have in the ration proteins
furnishing certain kinds of amino
acids, but In order to prevent waste
1t Is necessary that the amino acids
be present in the right proportion
This means it Is necessary to have
the right combination Of proteins In
the feed. The use of proteins In max
ing milk may be compared to the use
Of boards in building house. Boards
Of various lengths are needed in a
house. In building up milk many
different amino acids are needed, and
usually these cannot oil be obtained
from the protein of one kind Of feed,
or at least not In the proper proper
tons to prevent waste.

Pure Strain Selections
of Potatoes Win Favor

ACCORDING to reports received by the
united States Department OF AgricuI-
lure, tests made in New York state
under the supervision of Cornell uni.
versity show that pure-strain selec-
lions OF potatoes are much superior
TO those ordinarily grown by farmers
In that section. The pure-strain se-
lections were developed from a single
tuDer and were subjected to a two
year commercial test on several farms
"here they were grown side by side
with the farmers own selection. The
average of all the tests for the two
years showed an advantage of 4S busb.
els to the acre in favor of the pure
strain over the ordinary kinds grown
on these farms. All the soil and cu,-
tural conditions were the same on
each farm for the pure strain and
the others.

heat and power from the Niagara, St
Lawrence, Delaware and Hudson
rivers, which would supply all the
light, heat and power at a fraction of
the cost required if coal were used"
he said
This would save the wear and tear
of the streets from the hauling of
coal and ash carts, TO say DOthing of
the dust, smoke and congestion of
traffic. 1t also would save space in
the cellars from coal, ashes, furnaces
and boilers.
I'VE do not want to have any dark
subways, but above our sewer street
we want to have three other street
levels, each with sidewalks and stores
on both sides.
THE lower of these three levels
would be devoted to heavy trucking.
with railroad tracks all around the
waterfront. The next level would be
for rapid transit purposes.
Some big rapid transit engineers
tell me the moving platform system
could be so developed that our rapid
transit streets might be equipped that
way.
1.-The top level would be for light
traffic, automobiles, buses, and so on.
Obviously, we could handle at least
four to five times the population per
square mile of any other city In the
world without congestion.
these different street levels would
permit US to walk all over the city on
the hottest day in summer or the cold
est day in winter without hat or
overcoat, merely selecting the proper
street level.
Every building would cover a whole
block, having roof gardens on top, with
pools where children from three years
up could learn to swim. Any one
passing over the city would look down
on beautiful gardens instead of the
present eyesOres.
would 1t not be possible to have
the top floors of many Of these build
ings devoted TO apartments. the floor
below given up to restaurants, clubs,
and so on, where the people on the
upper floor could go down for their
meals OF nave them COOkeu anu Seut
up by dumb-waiters?
"In some cases where whole build
ings above the street were devoted to
apartments 1t would be possible to
have a floor near the top devoted to
school purposes, where the children
could have ready access to the root
gardens.
"If the buildings were twenty or
thirty or more floors tall a trolley line
might run all around the city on the
top level so that in the hottest day
in summer refreshing rides could be
had.
"Plans could be made for handling
snow in front of each building, which
would prevent any trouble from snow
or the necessity of carting it away.
New York has wonderful bay, and
has had wonderful opportunities, but
in one hundred and twelve years, with
the possible exception of the water
supply, every plan it has laid out was
inadequate before it was completed"

Under Certain Conditions
Varieties of Molds Are
Deadly Poisons.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Sllage is safe and useful feed for
horses and mules if proper care is ex-
ercised in making and feeding it, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. There are. certain precau-
lions, however, which must be taken
If success is to be secured in the feed
ing of silage to this class Of stock.
Horses and mules are peculiarly
susceptible to the effects of moldS,
and under certain conditions varieties
of mold are found in silage which are
deadly poiSOnS to both horses and
mules. Such molds are the result of
either the improper cutting or pack
ing of the silage or both. Molds must
have air to grow and, therefore, silage
which is packed alright and fed out
rapidly will not become moldy. If the
feeder watches the Silage carefully as
the weather becomes warm, he can
soon detect the presence of mold.
When mold appears the feeding should
be stopped Immediately. Similarly,
care SHOuiu De eNeEclSpu III the NlHleI
feeding of silage, so that the horses
or mules are not allowed to eat frozen
silage because of the danger of collie,
which generally follows such practice.
Corn Silage Favored.
Corn silage is the only kind that so
far has met with any degree of favor
as a horse and mule feed. Corn
which is to be ensiled for use as
horse and mule feed should not be
cut too green, as sour silage will re-
suit, and this may cause collie when
fed. Corn for such feed, rather,
should be cut when it has begun to
glaze and the silo should lie filed as
rapidly as possible, once the ensiling
process has been started. In filling
the silo it is essential that the corn
be carefully and thoroughly tramped
and packed. This is one of the most
important points in connection with
the feeding of silage to horses and
mules. Cutting the silage fine and in
