(3s dded stover increases its feed
fag .alue. Prof. Henry of the Uni
vcrbicy of Wisccr.sln has conducted
experiments which show that shred
ded stover ia about 21 per cent more,
valuable when fed to milch cows than
It is in the uncut foTm. It Is also
estimated that about 25 per cent xi
the feeding value of corn stales is lost
by allowing the shocks, to stand in the
field two months. Allowing corn ' to
stand in the field not' only decreases
its value, but it increases the difficul
ties of the cattie.
Just rememb3r that every time you
carry an armful of stalks into the barn
20 per cent of the digestible nutri
ments contained in the feed go for the
production of physical energy neces
sary for doing external work, 43 per
cent is used for keeping up the body,
and 27 per cent is returned in the
milk pail.
If you handle your corn crop prop
erly you will find 37 per cent of the
total nutriment in the stalks, and 63
per cent in the ear, but if you allow
the shocks to stand in the field to be
beaten by the winter's storms, you can
expect to lose anywhere from 25 per
cent to 50 per cent of the total feeding
value of the stalks. On the average
acre from two to three" tons of stover
are grown. In the stalks produced on
an acre of average corn, there are ap
proximately 85 pounds of protein,
1,500 pounds of carbohydrates, and 22
pounds of ether extract. A- steer
weighing 1,000 pounds requires one
half of a pound of protein, 6 pounds
of carbohydrates, and about one-tenth
of a pound of ether extract daily.
Figured to an exactness, there are
carbohydrates enough in an acre of
corn to last a steer ten months, ether
extract enough, to keep him in proper
condition for eight months, and pro
tein in sufficient quantity to sustain
him for 6ix months.
Probably the only argument against
shredding is the cost of preparation.
When figured in dollars and cents, the
cost of husking and shredding with a
machine is practically the same as for
hand work. Figures compiled by men
who feed whole stalks, by users of
shredded stover, and by the owners of
machines give the following facts:
Cost of husking 25 acres of shocked
corn, and getting the fodder in a stack.
The quality of corn used forthe basis
, of the following tables is slightly
above the average, forty bushels to
the acre being taken as a standard.
The cost of labor is figured current

Total cost of getting corn in
crib and fodder in stack $91 00
Cost of husking and shredding 25
acres of corn, figuring the yield at 40
bushels per acre, and an average day's
work at 800 bushels. A ten-roll husker
and shedder working under ideal con
ditions has husl?ed 1,000 bushels of
corn in a day, but to be conservative
we are reducing these figures consider
ably. We are also figuring the cost of
doing the husking and shredding
strictly on a bushel basis. In many
localities owners of buskers and shred
ders prefer to work by the day rather
than by the bushel.

$98.75 minus $91.00 equals $7.75 or
cost of shredded stover. Since two
tons of stover are produced on an acre,
and twenty-five acres are shredded,
fifty ton of shredded stover are se
cured. As $7.75 was- the cost of the
shredded stover, the expense of doing
the work with a machdne when dis
tributed amounts to approximately
16 cents per ton more than the cost of
husking by hand and of stacking the
corn stalks. Eesidcs less space la re

What Women Are Doing.
Dr. Mary Mills Patrick, president of
the American College For Girls, in
Constantinople, is a native of Canter
bury, N. H., and received her educa
tion In two Iowa colleges. In 1869 she
was graduated by Lyons college -with
an A. M. degree, and in 1890 she took
a special course in the State university
of Iowa, after which she went abroad
to take charge of the Constantinople
Institution. Since then she has taken
special courses at the universities of
Heidelberg, Zurich, Leipzig, Berlin and
Bern.
The College ' For Girls has been
chosen by the Turkish government for
the training of government students.
There are at present more than 200
students, thirty of whom are Turkish
girls. Two young Turkish women,
Halide Hanoum and Gulishtan Han
oum,, both graduates of the College
For Girls, have distinguished them
selves, the first as a writer, the second
by her work for the toung Turk party.
Mrs. A. Calvert Bourgeoise Is said
to be the only woman - who stumped
the country for Woodrow Wilson. She
was born in Missouri, received her ear

was graduated from the Massachusetts
Law school. She is in active practice
in her profession, making a specialty
of real estate and probate matters.

The Color of Flames.
You ' ha vp often noticed the many
tinted bars and bands that rise in the
shape of "forked tongues of flames"
from wood burning in the grate. It Is
ten to one, however, that you never
have thought to figure on the cause of
the variegated lines presented by
flames. To bring the matter quickly
.to the point, we will say that the many
colors are the result of combustion
among, the different elements of the
wood. The light blue is from the hy
drogen and the white from the carbon:
.the violet is from the manganese, the
rea rrom the mnjrnesia and the yellow
from the sodu. which are constituent
parts of the wood.

George Duncan Tilley, Alberta,
writes as follows "Referring to your
ad. in Calgary Herald about giving
advice on crops, etc., I should like
to hav.e your suggestions on some
points. On prairie soil broken for. the
first time in the fall of 1911, I have
harvested forty-nine acres of wheat
and forty acres of corn. The land was
plowed five inches deep. In preparing
the land for next year's crop, do you
think that disking the stubble would
be sufficient, or should the land he
plowed? What crops should follow
wheat and oats?"
As a general practice, the land should
be plowed once a year unless there are
unusual climatic conditions. If there
had been practically no rain and the
ground was very loose, you might get
satisfactory results by, only disking.
However, it has been the mistake of
a great many in the northwestern
territory to think that they could
raise satisfactory crops without doing
the amount of work on the land that
they should do. The result has been
that in many places they have worn
the land out much more rapidly than
was necessary. It is. advisable not to
begin the practice of only disking.
Better try plowing again.
You will perhaps not need to plow
the ground any deeper than it was
plowed last year, but ordinarily the
result will warrant your doing this
by leaving a part of your ground and
only disking it, and if you do we would
be very pleased to know the result.
One of the drawbacks to Canadian
farming is a lack-of system of crop
rotation. By all means plan on a ro
tation of crops, which will include
wheat, oats, and barley, and some
leguminous crop. This may be clover,
alfalfa. Canadian field peas, or some
other similar crop that will do well In

will I get her"
