In recent yearn ullage han been fed
ncreRnfully by many farmers, al
though In Isolated cases It results dis
astrously, probably due to one of sev
eral causes: (1) The silage may have
feeen made from immature crops, re
jnihlng In a very acid or sour silage;
(I) tbey may hare been too mature at
.4be time of filling the silo, resulting In
moldy silage because of failure to net
tle and exclude the air; (3) poor preset-ration,
due either to the method of
filing or to the silo not being air
tight; (4) carelessness In feeding,
permitting decomposition to start
la the silo; or (5) failure on
the part of the feeder to use a suffi
cient amount of time in getting homes
accustomed to a sufficient feed after
taring been fed continuously on dry
feed for a considerable length of time.

Considerable Amount of Feed Coyld
Be Saved by Providing Suitable
Rack or Mangera.
One of the great sources of waste fa
feeding animals during the winter
months Is a failure to bare a feed
rack of somo sort In which to put the
feed. Tbe feed Is put on the ground
and about one-third of It wanted by
the animals tramping It under foot
Thin could be remedied by putting up
suitable feed raclca or mangera.
Another source of waste Is In feed
ing whole fodder. If the fodder could
be nhrediled and fed In that form It

would save about one-half of the fod
der that la usually wasted when fed
whole. Tbe animals will not eat tbe
whole fodder If they think that there
Is a grain of corn In it, but will none
It around, trample It under foot and
wjnte a larger portion of It When
ied whole It Is a good deal easier for
them to pull It out of the rack or
manger and trample It Into the
ground.
To save these little Items of feed
means the saving of good money and

If Heavy Draft Animate Are Desired
Stick to That Breed Never Mix
When Possible to Avoid.
Upon the selection of the aire and
dam will depend the question aa to
whether the foal will be profitable to
the raiser or not Tbe cress-bred horse
is generally a chance, never a cer
tainty; "like begets like" Percherons,
Clydesdales, standard breds, thorough
breds, naddle homes and ponies, all
according to their kinds, says Better
Farming. The various breeds have
been highly developed by scientific
breeders, both in America and abroad.
What is more reasonable than to sup
pose that these men, who have given
years of labor and who have spent
much money in developing various
breeds, should have arrived at the
most profitable way of raising good
horseflesh?
If a farmer visits a reputable breed
ing establishment in this country or in
Europe he will And that every effort Is
made to breed along pure lines of
breed that in to be first developed.
So in this way we get the best speci
men of any kind whatsoever. If you
want heavy draft horses and they
are big sellers these days stick to
the draft breed and never mix the
draft breed If possible to avoid it If
you want light harness horses, breed
the trotter. If you want saddle
horses, breed for them.

In Tests With Sheep at Massachusetta
Station Has Shown Feed to Be
Good for Fattening.
(By J A MRS MORMON).
(Copyright, 1914.)
Corn is an excellent feed for live
stock, both grain and stalks being fed
to advantage, but tn feeding it care
must be taken to give tbe best results.
Tbe grain Is a concentrated source of
nutriment, palatable, easily masti
cated and readily digested and assim
ilated, but for dairy cows, corn sbould
never be made up more than one-half
to three-fifths of the concentrate part
of the ration. It needs roughage aa
cornstalks or hay fed with it, for
corn Is poor In protein, but rich in di
gestible carbohydrates. So for dairy
cows, corn should be ground and fed
with bran middlings or ground oats
which are richer in protein, rather
than fed alone.
Corn fodder is the name given to
the whole plant harvested with the
ears on the stalks. Tbe nutritive ratio
of corn fodder has been ascertained to
be about 1 to 11.5. so that some high
er protein food Is necessary to prop
erly balance It to get the good re
sults, and either alfalfa or clover haa
been found excellent for the purpose.
In testa with sheep the Massachu
setts station has shown that different
varieties of corn fodder, while vary
ing slightly in dtgeslibP.ity, are good
for fattening purposes. At the Mani
toba experiment farm corn fodder
was fed to steers, and It proved to
be a more profitable roughage than
oat sheaves. Where small numbers
of stock are kept, good results may
be obtalued by feeding cut corn fod
der moistened with hot water and al
lowed to stand for 24 hours. Tbe con
centrated feeds, such as cottonseed
meal, can be mixed with this mass
and the cattle will eat it readily and
waste little. In fact, it is better and
safer to use with cottonseed meal
than dried fodder or bay.
Corn fodder may also be fed to
: horses, but one-third of the bulk of the
' ration should be madu up of some
; other material, prefertbly red clover
or alfalfa. Avoid feeding soft corn,
which Is Injurious to horses. As a
matter of fxt, corn stover la to be

with a slight addition of some concen
trate feed. Shredding the stover la
neither necessary nor desirable.
The name corn stover is applied to
the stalk after the ear of corn has j
been removed. Stover may be fed to j
dairy cows with good results, particu-1
uarly if the stover is shredded and
mixed with cut alfalfa or bran, oata,
barley or peaa, thus providing a val
uable and cheap feed. Shredding
adds value as it is more easily han
dled and stored and readily eaten by
stock.

Separate the Ewe.
When the ewe Is due to lamb, she
should be shut off in a small stall
well bedded with straw and protected
by a good shed. Here she will be
unmolested by the rest of the flock,
and there will be no danger of the
lamb becoming lost In the flock or
tbe ewe disowning her offspring. A
few precautions will save the sheep
man loss of lambs and a lot of trou
ble and worry.
