A fter having examined carefully into other Manual Training schools we
feel certain that we are on the right system and hope soon to have our work
thoroughly outlined.
The aim in this department is to train the hand to do things; not to teach
trades, but to be handy with tools and to be able to do the many little things

VALUE OF ENSILAGE.
Whtn Compared With Other Roughage
It It Far Superior.
After a Dum ber of experiments at
the Nebraska Agricultural college the
feeding vulue of corn eusllnge was
found to be fur iu per tor to any other
roughage. This should convince the
farmer that a silo on the farm will
fend to improve It wonderfully The
experiment shows that—
Oue ton of ensilage equals one ton
sugar beets.
Three tons of ensilage equal one ton
clover hay
Three and one-lmlf tons o f ensilage
equal one ton alfalfa hay.
Two and one-fourth tona o f ensilage
equal one tou marsh hay
Three and one-lmlf tons o f ensilage
equal oue tou prairie hay.
One-half tou of ensilage equals one
tou pumpkins.
Below he gives bis estimate of the
cost of putting up ensilage and hay
and the number o f cubic feet occupied
by each:
One ton of ensilage cost to put up
83 cents. One tou of hay cost to put
up $1.50. Oue tou of ensilage occupies
50 cubic feet. One ton of hay occupies
500 cubic feet.
To this statement he adda the fol
lowing:
It will be seen that ten times more
space Is required for hay than ensi
lage. and It ts hardly possible to con
struct even a cheap hay shed, to say
nothing of a barn, for the price re
quired to store for same quantity of
ensilage. With the ordinary hayloft
In a good dairy barn the cost of stor
age space would be three times that
of the silo. The table also gives a
comparison between the cost of har
vesting corn ensilage as compared
with hay. It will be seen that corn
ensilage can be pul up for almost <>ne-
thlrd the cost o f hay These figures
do not allow for Interest on money In
vested In machinery or storage. While
hay Is about three times richer In food
elements. It Is still an expensive
roughnge as compared with ensilage.

equal to corn ensilage for even twice
