Snow an Effective
Substitute for Ice
In some foreign countries, where
nutural difficulties have stimulated
human inventiveness, it is quite usual
for snow to be collected during tlie
coldest part of the winter and buried
well-pressed down in specially dug
pits.
So intensely cold do these
blocks of compressed snow become un
der this treatment that after a few
hours they freeze Into solid lumps of
ice, which keep almost indefinitely and
can be dug up when required, says the
Detroit News.
Especially in very hot countries
these pits are frequently situated on
mountains. Macedonia is one o f the
countries which adopted this method
of insuring an adequate supply o f ice
during the summer. It is a remark
able fact that an Ice supply laid down
in this way at the beginning of the
winter will last right up to the end
of a summer consisting of many
months of almost unbearable heat.

condition in the fall need little or no
grain in winter until about a month
before lambing. If given all the bright
legume hay they will eat with an al
lowance of silage or roots In addition,
writes Dorsey McAtee in the Prairie
Farmer. At this time or earlier, if
they are not In thrifty, vigorous condi
tion, they should be given a limited
amount of concentrates up to one-hall
pound per head with roughage.
The best roughages for ewes are
the legume hays— clover and alfalfa—
which they like and are rich In pro
tein, and help ward off constipation, a
serious danger of the ewe.
Other
roughages useful to feed with legume
hay are bright corn fodder and oat
straw which has some hay in it. Tim
othy hay Is too constipating for ewes.
To insure a crop of strong, healthy
lambs, exercise for the ewes is essen
tial. They should have access to a
dry, sunny yard, well protected from
wind and storm, and on all fair days
should be forced to exercise by scat
tering roughage over a nearby field.
When the snow is deep, paths should
be broken out with snow plow or
stone boat. On stormy days the sheep
should remain Indoors.
To avoid udder troubles, ewes should
be given but little grain for two or
three days after lambing, and the al
lowance gradually Increased with the
demand for more nil Ik by the lamb.
With good roughage, not over two
pounds of grain per ewe daily is nec-
»ssary. After being turned to pasture
the ewes need no additional feed, if
grazing Is good.
In about 147 days or five months
after the ewes are bred the Iambs may
be expected. It is wise to be close at
band during lambing time to assist the
ewes or any weak lambs. Fens should
be provided for the ewes and their
newly born lambs. Here each ewe and
her young may remain for a couple of
days until they are wonted to each
other and the lambs are strong enough
to look out for themselves among the
flock.
Corn Stover Silage Is
Good for Winter Feed
The custom of raking up and burn
ing corn stalks Is considered a huge
waste.
While somewhat depending
upon local conditions and the feed
supplies, the destruction of corn sto
ver is rightly regarded as a loss.
Corn stover, plowed under, has a the
oretical value in fertility of about $2
a ton, but this can hardly be figured
on the acre basis of tonnage grown
because stalks are bard to handle In
plowing under. The feed value Is far
more than $2 a ton.
Feeding tests have shown that corn
stover silage— made from the dry
stalks by the addition of water— has
a value of about two-thirds that of
corn silage for wintering beef breed
ing cows, and probably Is worth GO
per cent ns much as corn silage for
feeding dairy cows. By corn stover
we mean, of course, cured shock corn
minus the ears. A considerable per
centage of the feeding value of a crop
of corn Is located In the stalks and
leaves. In Trials at four northern ex
periment stations the mature ears
weighed 4,415 pounds an acre, while
the stover weighed 3,838 pounds an
acre. About 25 per cent of the diges
tible crude protein of the corn crop
Is in the stover and abont 37 per cent
of the total digestible nutrients.
By destroying the stover we actu
ally throw away a good portion of
labor nnd expense, to say nothing of
the soil fertility elements going Into
the make-up of the corn crop.
