SILAGE FOR PREGNANT EWES.
While com slluge has been recog
Ulzed as an excellent as well as eco
nomical rutiou for the beef steer aud
dairy cow, not until recently hus It
come to be viewed as a valuable part
of the ration for breeding ewes. Some
feeding exieriments conducted by the
Iowa station along this line during the
winter of 1011-12 will be of Interest to
furiuers who have a flock of sheep and
silage, but who have not yet got the
two together In a feeding trough. Iu
the experiments conducted forty-eight
ewes were divided as to general' con
dition, Including breeding, thrift and
weight. Into four equal lots. Lot 1
was fed clover hay and shelled corn;
lot 2, alfalfa hay and shelled corn;
lot 3, clover hay, corn silage and
shelled corn; lot 4, corn silage and
shelled corn. All the ewes had a blue
grass pasture in the fall and were giv
en besides a fairly liberal allowance
of corn and cottonseed meal. Tbey
were divided Into the separate lots on
Nov. 15 a" given the rations men
tioned above. At the end of the feed
ing period It was found that the ewes
In the four lots bad made practically
identical gains. It was found that,
while the lot of ewes fed corn and
corn silage produced fewer lambs than
the other three lots, the lambs weigh
ed more at birth and were also strong
er. It was found that the alfalfa com
bination produced stronger lambs than
the clover and that silage and clover
fed together did not give as good re
sults as either one alone. the chief
advantage of the silage-corn ration
given to lot No. 4 seems to be found
In its cheapness, as it cost 1.00 cents
per ewe per day, while the ration giv
en lot No. 1 cost 2.47 cents; lot No. 2,
2.74 cents, and lot No. 3, 2.03 cents.
Those in charge of the experiments are
of the opinion that the corn-sllage ra
tion might be made more ellicient and
economical If a small amount of oil
meal or cottonseed meal were added
to it. The modified ration would also
tend to produce stronger lambs.
TO GET
CAPACITY OF ROUND
CRIBS.
Some of our readers may have round
slut corneribs, the contents of which
they would like to measure. The first
step in getting the desired result is to
ascertain the coutents In cubic feet.
This Is got by multiplying the diam
eter by itself, this by the decimal frac
tion .7So4 and the product by the depth
of the corn in the erlb. For illustra
tion, suppose one wished to find the
number of bushels in a circular crib
having a circumference of sixty-four
feet and a depth of nine feet. To get
the diameter divide the circumference
by 3.1410, the result being 20.3 feet
Squaring or multiplying this by ltselt
gives 412.00 squnre feet and multiply
ing this by .7854 gives 323.C5 as the
area of the crib. The contents are then
obtained by multiplying the area by
the depth, nine feet, which gives
2.012.S0 cubic feet. A bushel of corn
containing a good deal of moisture Is
usually estimated at 2.5 cubic feet, and
dividing the total contents in cubic
feet by this figure gives 1,105.15 as the
number of bushels in the crib. The
same formula will give the contents of
any circular crib where the circum
ference and depth are known.
BALANCED RATIONS FOR FOLKS.
We hear a good deal about balanced
rations for cattle, hogs and sheep, but
mighty little altout balanced rations
for humau beings, yet the question is
one of vital Importance. There are
thousands upon thousands of folks in
America nnd the number is immeasur
ably greater In Europe and the orient
-w'ho lack in strength and vitality
and power to work simply because
they do not have a sufficient amount
of food of the proper nutritive ele
ments. In many such cases folks are
listless and lifeless and do not real
ize whnt Is the matter with them.
Likely the trouble Is due to too much
fat and heat producers and not enough
bone and muscle formers. The writer
knows of a number of families In
which niemlH'rs are dumpy or un
strung nnd nervous when what is
needed Is not more tonic, but more
eggs, fresh milk, beef, beans, cheese
and fish, all of which articles are high
in protein content These foods cost
money, but in the long run they are
cheaper than too much in the way of
sweets aud pastries of one kind and
another, with doctors' bills tacked on.
There should bo chnrcoal before the
hogs nil the time. The supply may
he mado from corncobs. These niny
be burned In a pit. which should be
three or four feet wide, three feet deep
nnd eight or ten feet long. A lond of
cobs should be put In the pit and set
nil re. As soon as they nre well ablaze
the pit should be covered with strips
of sheet lr n nnd the cracks covered
with earth so ns to exclude the air.
In n day or two the pit mny be uncov
ered nnd a supply of charcoal will be
ready for use.
FOR THE ICE SUPPLY.
It Is time to make plans for next
summer's supply of Ice, nnd the prep
arations need not he elaborate. Where
the Ice Is taken from a body of pure
water It may be used In summer
drinks, but the supply need not be
from a pure water supply to be useful
for purposes of refrigeration. While
sawdust Is preferable for a packing
material, fine chopped straw or hny or
chaff from the haymow will answer
the purpose very well. The building
chosen for the Icehouse should be so
situated that it can be drained easily.
In pncklng the ice a space of eighteen
Inches or two fett should bo left be
tween the txuly of tco cakes and the
sides of the building, aud this space
should be filled with the packing ina
torlal. Spaces of a width of about an
Inch should le left letween tho cokes
as they nre tiered up. When all tho
Ice Is In place the sawdust or other
covering should be spread over It so
as to cover It completely. Tho space
In the house above the Ice should be
kept well ventilated.
