In this article we will deal with the plants that may he fed in at green state or cured like. hay, and will also men- tion the mots us well, both from the standpoints of yield and feeding value. Perhaps this year, more than ever, we realize the value of succulent food for the live stuck‘even hay would he. a boon, and [outs and silage seem to give the stock an appetite and keep them thriving. The first and most impm-tant is the Zeal-Mays or Indian (,‘m'n. This plant is a with e of America and its cultiva- tion in the United States is very exten- sive. The U. S. Dept. of Agriculture estimates the corn crop at 2,637,165,000 bushels and the United Stated produc- es E. The next countly in order of pro- duction was Hungary clusciy followed by Ruumanizt' and Mexico. Ontario comes ninth with 24.()0(),UUO bushels. lndiun corn is used for pasture, green fodder, dry fodder and silage and the grain for ordinary purposes and live stock. There are two hundred and twenty- six varieties known and for general purposes the Mammoth Cuban and the MnsLednn Dent, are well adapted fur the warmer sails of Southern Ontario. \Visconsin Earliest \Vhibe Dent ful- SonLhm-n and Central Until-Tl") and Sill- zer’s North Dakota, (‘vmmpton’s Early Yellow and King Philip for Central and Nm-thern Ontario. - A gleat many have little faith in silos because some. have torn their’s out he- cause they were disappointed in results And why ? Because they did not fully understand the proper methods of handling it, both in putting it in and taking it out. It’s ten years since the silos were first used and now we are just, learning the “how” of silage. The one cry was that cattle Would starve on it alone. Practice proved it but knowledge stepped in in shape of Chemistry and showed us Why. Beâ€" canse it was not a properly balanced ration and Lo-(lay it is fed with grand results with other feed stuffs. Its analysis is 30.3 ll)s.protein and 257.1 lbs. of Carbohydrates and fats in 1 ton of ensilage that is digestible matter. Its ratio is 1.9.2 very wide. Now the ratio given by Prof. Henry in “ Feeds and Feedings” is 1.14.3. This shows that the ensilagc differs in digestible ele« ments. The reason may he the differ- ent soils and the amount of ears in the silage but Prof. Henry’s feeding stan- dards are now generally acceptx d as a reliable grade on this_suhject. The next, class is the Chmtochola Italicaor Fuxtail Millets. The Hnly Ten-0r Gold Mine comes first. with 5.3 tons. Japanese Common clusely after with 5 tuns, Golden \Vumlrr 4.9 runs and Hungarian comes tenth with 3.8 inns. Thu thief! "hm: i". Hm Pan-km“ :"l)»:_ The Flint varieties are the richer in protein but the Dent CUI‘DS yield bet- ter so there is very little difference, if any, in the corn. \Vherc you gain in richness yuu lose 1:) yield. Ot' Silage com the best variety is the one that yields the must in stocks and ears, and will reach the glazed stage, that isjust past table use, at film? of cutting. There are thirty-one varieties of mil- let and four distinct classes and I will mention the best, of the fourteen best varieties. Three belong tn the class, Puuicum Miliuceuxn, or Broom-Corn millets. Japanese Panicle gave 5.5 tons of bay to the acre. \Vhite French 3.1 tons and Red French 2.7 tons. the poorest yield of the fourteen varieties. The best yield and the lowest yield in this class. Outs and pens sowed in proportion of 1 bushel (If outs to two bushels of peas and cut and cured as buy when the. oats are fully headed out is u grind winter feed and will give 2; tons to the acre; is also a grand crop to cut and feed when pasture is scarce. The ratio green is 1.4.2 richer than clover which is 1.5.6. A little corn meal feed with green oats and peas-t0 balance it and keep cattle in good flesh say at the late of 2% lbs. per day will tide over the summer. Millets are extensively grown in poi-â€" tions of Ontario. The millets was originally grown in Siberia, India, Japan, and China and the seedsare used as an article of human food. It; is estimated that the seed of the millet, in some form or another is used as a. portion of food by fully one-third of the inhabitants of the globe. It is used here as pasture or fodder crop Ul‘ hay. Its great advantage is it can he sown late whether other crops have failed and the writer knows where one farmer cut his meadow, plowed it. up and wind millet. Sweet Corn is also valuable as a suc- culenb fodder. W'inter rye is a. good early fodder and makes a. fair buy if cut and properly caredhfor. The writ- er cut a patch last year coum.enciug about; the 24th May and found the cattle did well on it and a light meal ration. It was fed before the cows were put on pasture and thereby sav- inf-{lb} Fodder and Root Crops. BY rd M Ammm vs some years it does Well hut in 1898 it was light all over Ontario. The other class is Pennisetum tvyphoideum or pearl millet. The East India. Pearl yielded 4-.9 tons per acre. The ell-operative experiments give the following results for two years :â€" Japanese. Panicle 6.4 tons; Japanese Crus-galli 5.9 tons; Hungarian 4.8 tons. The Spergula. Maxima or Giant Spuney has been highly recommend- ed as a. soil renovator and for feeding sheep and cattle. It grows rapidly and soon produces seed but the yield was light. I would not recommend it but rather caution farmers against testing it for at Guelph six years ago they sowed some and it ripened and there are plants coming up and they prove a troublesome weed on account of its rapid seed production in culti- vated laud. Brassica ulemcea has been grown to a considerable extent in Great Britain as a. food for sheep and hogs, and I dun’t doubt, but that the cabbage could be grown in Ontario fur the same purpose. The Guelph College is testing several varieties, and will like- ly continue them for some time. Three English varieties were imported lust yearâ€"Suttun’s Earliest Drumhead gives 14.7 tons, and the Sutton Late Druuxhend 11.5 tons. This compares favnra bly with rape in yield of green fodder. How would it do to try it lb. 01- SH in one of the fields Snwn broad- cast sunleus rape when the grain is up. The DrLunheud seed costs $1.50 per 11)., and an ounce will give 2,000 plants. So try its value for hogs and lambs. A very pleasant event took place at the home of Mr. James Baker on Thursday evening when :1 number of young friends gathered and a pleasant evening was sRmnt. An address was given by Rev. .11'. Curscadden. after- which music and games followed. A. solo was given by Mr. T. VVatsun, which was much enjoyed by all. and a recitation by Miss G.

A whistling song was given by the Canadian ‘nVill’blt‘l'S consisting of ten young men. The The Grass Pea. is an annual legume, which has been grown to a limited ex- tent furseveral years. The stems (if the. plant is flat, and the whole crop is relished by animals when used as a gleen fodder. At Guelph for four years it has yielded 8.9 tons of green fodder to the acre. This is more than duuhle the yield of house beans when gruwn under exactly similar Conditions and U\'(.’l‘ two tons more green feed than the. Prussian Blue variety. If allowed to ripen it yields about 17 bushels per acre, and is entirely hug proof, and the straw is of grand feed- ing value. (TO BE CONTINUED.) C arrville. Owing to increasing trade, Mr. ELC.
