ESCAPING JUICES

Leaching and Fermentation Dur

Subject of Inquiry.
SILAGE SAMPLES ANALYZED
Evidence Found of Downwash of
Liquid, In Silo Carrying With It
Soluble Food Materials Re
suits Not Yet Complete.
(Prepared by the- United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Every farmer who has a silo knows
that some change takes place In the
substance of kthe corn or other crop
conserved by this means, nnd It Is
generally assumed that some loss In

substance of both moist and dry mat
ter takes place as a result of fermen
tation nnd leaching. To ascertain as
definitely ns possible tins amount of
this loss, Its causes, nnd means for
wholly or partially preventing It, the
dairy division of the United States
Department of Agriculture has been
conducting a series of experiments.
The results of two years' tesfts are
covered In a professional paper, De
partment Bulletin, 953, Nitrogen nnd
Other Losses During tlu Ensiling of
Corn.
Samples of Silage Analyzed.
Samples of silage In cheesecloth
sacks were burled nt various depths
and positions In a silo 4i! feet high by
14 feet in diameter, holding approxi
mately 1C0 tons. The hags were
weighed when put In, and samples of
the silage analyzed. When the bags
were reached In feeding out the silo,
the contents were again weighed nnd
analyzed.
The two years' work furnished evi
dence of a downwash of the juice in
tho silo carrying with It 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 nil 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 anil of the furfurol
yleldlng bodies. There ws a loss In
totnl nitrogen, which was larger when
the corn put Into the silo was Im
mature than when mature corn was
used. It Is probable that this loss Is
due largely, If not entirely, to the
nitrogenous compounds In the Juice.
The albuminoid nitrogen suffered a
loss of over 50 per cent, while the
non-nlbumlnold forms if creased sev
eral times their original weight.
Big Escape of -t'ulce.
There was a gain of ether extract,
probably due to the formation of new
ether-soluble bodies, Tito second sea
son nearly 30,000 pounds of Juice es
caped from the silo. This Juice car
ried a considerable percentage of
nitrogen of various forns which In
ordinary practice would remain in the
silo.
Tlie results arc as yet Incomplete,
-nnd the tests are being continued.
PUREBREDS BEST PRODUCERS
Enormous Differences Among Dairy
Cows Have Been Brought Out
In Number of Cases.
The value of purebred stock, Bay
specialists In the United States De
partment of Agriculture, is most no
ticeable In those cases In which the
capability of the animals is measured
most directly. Among farm animals,
the best Illustration can be found In
dnlry cattle, though careful yearly
tests of milk nnd butterfnt production
ore relatively recent affairs. The enor
mous differences among dairy cows
when given the same opportunity have
lieen brought out clearly In a great
number of cases, nnd these differences
are strongly Inherited through both
the sire and the dam. The average
production for pnrebreds nnd grades Is
much above the averuge of all milk
cows, which Is about 4,000 pounds of
milk and 100 pounds of buttcrfat an-aually.
BURN DEAD POULTRY
IS EXCELLENT PLAN
Especially True in Case of Death
From Disease.
Burying Not Satisfactory Because
Dogs and Other Animals May Dig
Carcass Up Concrete Crema
tory Is Not Expensive.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Accumulations of , manure In the
henhouse are objectionable upon
grounds of sanitation, but not more so
than dend poultry. How often have
you seen n dead chicken thrown Into
the road or trampled Into the barn
yard manure? The disposal of these
dead bodies offers a problem for the
poultryman, the correct solving of
which may In many ctsos become n
very Important matter, say specialists
of the United States Department of
grlculturo. This Is especially true,
of course, In cases of death from con
tiiglous diseases, and this Includes u
large proportion of poultry deaths.
To throw a dead chicken on the ma
nure pile or Into the road Is to Invite
the spread of disease. Burying Is not
entirely satlnsfnctory, because unless
Ihc grave Is dug deep the carcass may
he scratched up by dogs or other ani
mals. Furthermore, III the winter the
ground may be frozen. Therefore, spe
cialists declare, the best way to dls.
pose of dead poultry Is t.o hum thi
bodies.
Many town nnd city homes have
garbage burners which may he used,
hut where this Is not available some
poultrymen having hot-wnter heating
systems hum the bodies In the fur

mer, though, so small crematories
have been built on some poultry
plnnts. Some of these are of concrete,
the size depending upon tho number
of birds kept on tho place, and others
are ordlnnry Iron wood-burning stoves.
A concrete cremntory will not be ex

DRINKING WATER IN SUMMER
Supply for Hogs and Chickens Over

Milk Not Sufficient.
Perhaps no animals on the farm
fuffer more for fresh drinking water
during the summer than hogs and
chickens. Hogs, particularly, are
usually left with only slops uud skim
milk, when these hot months they
crnve cool water. Water In chickens'
pans quickly evaporates, and Is too
often forgotten. It Is positively cruel
to forget any nnlmnl's drinking wn

women would only profit by the experience of these three women, and remem

for such conditions it may save them years of suffering and unhappine'ss.
-There is hardly a neighborhood in any town or hamlctin tho United States
wherein some woman does not reside who has been restored to health by this
famous medicine. Therefore ask your neighbor, and you will find in a great
