Bf CaUle Fed on Silage.
During recent years a number of
the state experimental stations have
carried on a series of experiments
which have demonstrated that Bllage
can advantageously be fed to beef cat
tle. The Tennessee Experimental Sta
tion has especlully given close atten
tion to this matter, probably more so
than any other station, and In one of
its bulletins shows how silage In
creases the carrying capacity of the
land. Ordinarily from two to three
acres of blue grass is required to carry
1,000-pound steer after six months,
when gaining from 300 to 400 pounds.
Four 800-pound Bteers were fed for 160
Jays on the production of less than
an acre of land In the form of silage
and gained 866 pounds during that
period.
When beef Is raised on long that Is
lUgh-prlced, the above facts show espe
cial strength In favor of silage. In
1903 a feed test was carried on by the
Michigan Station for the purpose of
ascertaining the relative number of
pounaa of beef thai could l6 produced
from corn fed In the form of silage, In
the form of shock corn and In the
form of corn and corn meal. The corn
was secured from three different pieces
c-f land, each nearly an acre In size.
In addition to the corn fed In this man
ner the steers were fed dally rations
of 6 pounds of corn and cob meal, 2
pounds of oil meal and 4 pounds of
clover hay. After the experiment had
continued for twelve weeks the aver
age dally gain of the steers had been
as follows: For the silage-fed lot,
2.22 pounds; for the shock-fed, 2.02,
and for the corn and cob meal lot.
1.89 pounds. While It may be argued
that this experiment should be re
peated before conclusions can be drawn
from It, still so far as these figures go
the results were In favor of harvesting
the corn In form of silage.
For Barb Wire Cut:
'When a horse has been injured on
wire the first thing to do Is to stop
the flow of blood; this may as a rule
tie done by bandaging It up tight. It
may also frequently be best to apn'.y
powreded alum or common saleratus,
troth of which will generally be found
effective. In a few hours, considerable
swelling will Bet In; this should be re
duced either by applying cold water
frequently, or, what is really better,
applying pure kerosene oil, not only to
the wound, but also to the swollen
parts. No bandage should be kept on
where kerosene Is used, as it will then
cause the hair to fall off, temporarily,
and as soon as It is safe to do so, the
aore should be carefully washed with
oft water and castlle soap. This ought
to be repeated dally until the sore
teals. One of the best healing medi
cines for horse flesh that I have ever
used can be put up at any drug store,
as follows: One-half pint of alcohol,
one-half pint of spirits of turpentine,
one ounce of pure glycerine;, mix all
together In a large bottle and shake
well before using. Apply only, with a
feather at morning and night. The
wore should never be bandaged. By
dally washing it will In this way heal
tip very rapidly. I can personally tes
tify to the effectiveness of this simple
remedy, aa we have made use of It In
numerous cases, with the best results,
where every other remedy we tried
failed to heal up the sore on the horse.

we must look to better methods of soli
usage for the alternative of bringing
under cultivation unused and aban
doned swampy conditions, although
adding a vast total to our cultivable
fields, will not always suffice to meet
the growing demand. Already many
sections of congested population are
calling upon outside sources for food,
and many of the large cities at times
actually suffer from vegetable famines.
Such shortages are due to mora or

The producing possibility of our cul
