SMUTTY SILAGE FED SAFELY
No Harm Follows Test Made by Ex- pert In Feeding Tainted Material
 to HoIsteln Heifer.

Smutty silage can be fed to live stock with no danger of i'll conse- quences, says T. w. Gullickson of the dairy husbandry division at University farm at St. Paul. Not so long ago many inquiries were being received at the dairy division headquarters re- garding the advisability of feeding smut-infested corn in the form of en- silage. To answer these questions au- thoritatively Mir. Gullickson had col lected some 800 pounds of pure corn smut which he ran through the, en- silage cutter and put in sacks which he placed in the silo and covered with about ten feet of ensilage, A few months later the corn smut in the bags was substituted for the regular silage ration and fed to a Holstein heifer at the rate of IS to 30 pounds day. The heifer was not forewarned of the ab- rupt change in her diet, but took no exceptions to the corn-smut menu, ap- bearing in fact to relish 1t. MT. Gull dickson says the feeding of the smut was continued for three weeks, during which the heifer femained normal in every respect.
