Wilting is Desirable Before
Ensiling Legumes
'te
Silage from legume crops or mix-
tures of legumes and cereals appears
to be of a much more desirable quality
if these crops are wilted for several
hours before ensiling. , The wilting of
alfalfa, in particular, seems to be es-
seetial, if good silagesis to be made.
Alfalfa, sweet clover and se mixture
of oats, peas and vetches were stored
at the Central Experimental Farm,
Ottawa, in small wooden silos during
the summer of 1924. Each silo was
6 feet high, 3 *feet in diameter and
held approximately half a ton. The
various trials with these crops, which
occupied 21 silos, included cutting at
different stages of maturity, ensilag-
ing before and after wilting and stor-
ing for periods of three, six and nine
months. The silos wore opened dur-
ing the winter of 1924-25 and the sil-
age was in every respect 'comparable
to that which is produced in large
farm silos.
The results of one year's work,
though not conclusive, indicat,eethat
the stage of maturity and the amount
of moisture in these crops at the time
,of ensilaging have an important bear-
ing on the silage produced, the reduc-
tion of the original moisture content
• of the crops by wilting showing the
greatest benefit.
There seers to be a greater likeli-
hood of securing a desirable sila,ge
from full bloom alfalfa than from
- this crop cut at an earlier stage of
es maturity. There is an advantage in
flint• cutting sweet clover when the flower
buds are well formed but before the
• crop blooms became there is a greater
probability of securing a second cut- foielant, inarshrhaliews and such like seParateln, • t,

unpalatable silage. The wilting of
sweet clover, and oats, peas and vetch-

the production of a type of silage
which was somewhat more palatable
than that produced by the unwilted

The length of the period of storage
appeared to have little effect upon the
silage which was produced.

In. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY AT ANTI -
OCH, 27-30.
IbereorrucesoN—The planting of
Christianity at Antioch may be said
to be the most important historical
event in the -annals of our religion
since the original foundation of the
church, From the human standpoint
It came about almost accidentally.
Certain Christian leaders who had
been driven from Jerusalem after the
death of Stephen came to Antioch,
and began speaking to the Greeks,
that is, to Greek -speaking Syrian Gen-
tiles, about Jesus Christ, and, before
they knew what had happened, a great
religious movement was afoot among
these classes. The spark from Jeru-
salem had caught ,fire, the seed had
taken root, and the originators of the
movement to their great astonishment
and joy saw Gentiles pressing forward
for baptism and admission to the
church.
e'The church at Jerusalem sent down
Barnabas to report on the eituation.
Barnabas was overjoyed, and to his
wise and thoughtful mind it occurred
that Saul, now in Tarsus, was the very
man to carry forward the great new
movement at Antioch. So he brought
Saul there, and Saul had now a great
God-given opportunity to put his prin-
ciples into effect. His great concep-
tion was the, creation of one catholic,
'or unieersal chilled; Iticlusive of both
Jew and Gentile, in which Christ
alone would be recognized as the
meanssof salvation. We shall hear of
this,, great experiment later.
Meantime we see a great missionary
cherch established at Antioch, and
giving great evidence of ardent prac-
tical Christianity.
I. HOW CHRISTIANITY WAS PLANTED AT
ANTIOCH, 19, 2e.
V. 19. The scattering of the church
at Jerusalem in consequence of Ste-
phen's death led to the wider sowing
of the seed of the gospel. We find
some of the leaders establishing them-
selves in Phoenicia (Tyre and Sidon),
and also in the island of Cyprus. In
all these regions there were many
'Jews, and, at first, the preaching of
the missionaries was strictly confined
to Jews. Then suddenly, at Antioch
a new departure takes place.
V. 20. Antioch was at this time the
thied largest dity in the world, rank-
ing next only to Rome and Alexandria.
It had been founded by the Seleucids,
the Greek dynasty which established
itself in Syria after the death of Alex-
ander the Great, end was possessed -
of, imposing magnificent e. Here the
Oriental traders from. the desert met
with Greek shippers, Arab chieftains
met with members of the Roman Im-
pet:dal Government, .Syrian mystics
met with Stoic philosophers. The
Christian missionaries who first ar-
rived were men of Cyprus and Cymne,
and were, therefore, well acquainted
with the heart of the heathen world.
For some reason not stated -these mis-
sionaries abandoned the policy hither-
to followed of speaking only to
and addressed themselves to the
Greek,' that is, heathen population of
Antioch. The result was a sudden
and widespread movement among
these Greeks which at onthe created e
Gentile -Christian Church. .
II. A GREAT SPIRITUAL between 21-26.
V. 21. "The hand of the Lord" was
with the missionaries, that is, both
i they and their hearers were convinced
i by immediate experience ofethe divine
'power of the message.. Conviction was
'followed by applications for baptism,
and many came into the church.
Vs. 22-25. The news of this unex-
pected expansion of Christianity in-
spired the church at Jerusalem to send
down Barnabas, that he might survey
the situation and report. No better
than could have been appointed., His
generous sympathy, his powers of et-
IcOuragement and counsel, his enuring
Isense of what was right, qualified him
beyond all others for the teak of a -
predating a new movement of t
Spirit. "When he saw the race of
Gee—compare Peter's wor s about
the household at Cassarea (Acts 1.10
1/)—"he was glad," and true to his
character "exherted" the converts to
hold fast to their new- found Lord with,
resolute purpose of heart. For, says
the hietoriati, "he was a good man
and full of the Holy Spirit and of
faith." His very presence and sym-
pathy helped on the mese.

and the word "Christians" appears for
the first time on the lips of men.
Doubtless the title was at first a nick-
name, but soon it becomes the most
honorable of designations.
III. PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY AT ANTI -
OCH, 27-30.
Vs. 27, 28. The historian mentions
that among those who came down to
Antioch -at this time were certain
Christian "prophets" from Jerusalem.
it was impressed on the soul of one
of them, namenAgabus, that the world
was threatened with famine through
a shortage of the harvents. As a mat-
ter of fact, certain partial famines oc-
curred soon afterwards in the early
years of Claudius (A.15„ 41-54), and
a 'disastrous one some five or six years
later in forty-six. Agebus n.oe!t solemn-
ly warned the Church of this ap-
proaching calamity, and urged appar-
ently that something should be done
to relieve the distress which -would be
inevitable among the poor Christians
of Jerusalem.
Vs. 29; 80. It shows the practical
character of the new Christianity at
Antioch that measures were at once
taken by the Antiochian Church to
send -relief to Judea. The contnbu-
tions raised were handed to Barnabas
and Saul, and they were appointed to
convey them to the elders at Jeru-
salem. Doubtless, Barnabas and Saul
had superintended the raising of the
fund.
Do not let us fail to observe the
nobility of this act on the part of the
Gentile Church. It shows the extent
to which the spirit of love, the spirit
of Christ had taken root, and the
broad vision which existed of one uni-
versal Church in all the world.
The church at Antioch showed itself
worthy of the high eminence which
was to belong to it as the metropolitan
centre of Gentile Christianity. We are
not surprised to find later that it was
from this centre that the first great
mission to Asia and Europe was
organized.
Hulless Oats and Ordinary
Oats for Feeding Hogs.
To compare ground hulless oats
with ground oats in the feeding of
Berkshire hogs, a test was inede at
the Central Experimeptal Farm in the
fall of 1928. In this test, according
to the report of the Dominion Animal
Huebandman, a mixture of hulless and
ordinary oatengave greater and more
economical gains than ordinary oats,
the lot fed with hulless oats in their
ration gaining 0.15 of a pound per hog
per day more than that fed a ration
containing no hulless oats.
Feeding Sows and Barrows..
In feeding experiments with Berk-
shire hogs, carried out at the Central.
Expetimental Farm, barrow's made
'slightly larger gains and also more
economical gains than sows when fed
on ground oats. Details of these ex-
periments are given in the 1924 re -
pert of the Dominion Animal Hus-
bandman, distributed by the Publiqa-
tons Branch, Dept. of Agriculture,
Ottawa.,

vantages over straight grain farm-

SALT SAVES A LOT OF hOG FEED
BY 30fIN li. PVVARD
I wouldn't want to promise you that
you could always save 588 pounds of
hog feed by usinga pound a salt It
did happen though in one of our tests
of the feeding use of salt bete at the
Experiment Station, In another ex-
periment, where the pigs ate only a
half pound of salt for each 100 pounds
of gain, the saving figured 176 pounds
of feed for each pound of salt eaten.
I am quoting these rather remark-
able results first because I want to
emphasise the value ef sait'when used
in proper manner in hog rations.
True, salt nee been known to kill hogs.
A good many cases of salt poisoning
I have found were really brine pois-
oning.
We have kept salt before pigs for
ten years without a eteee ,of salt pois-
oning. Naturally,we eseield net starve
them for salt for months and then
give them a big, sudden dose of it.
That would be hazardous.
The best results may be expected
when salt is mixed with other min-
erals, such as spent bone black, high
calcium limestone, bone meal, potas-
sium iodide, charcoal, wood ashes, cob
clearc.oaT pr others—one or more of
these properly combined. Under most
Conditions, if we had to choose but
one mineral, we would hug the old
salt barrel tightly.
A simple and very good orthodox
mixture with four "backbone" mineral
ingredients may be made from salt,
20 pounds; spent bens black, 40
pounds; high calcium limestone, 40
pounds; potassium iodide, one -fiftieth
pound. I can supply directions for
,ore elaborate mixtures if desired,
Salt and charred corncob ashes is bet-
ter than no mineral mixture at all.
In one experiment we used a splen-
didly balanced general ration self -fed
to 67 -pound pigs. Without salt it
took 218 days to make the pigs weigh
300 pounds. With salt it took 156
days, or two months less time. The
pigs that got no salt required 574
pounds of feed to gain 100 pounds
weight. Those fed salt gained 100
pounds for every 467 pounds of feed
--107 pounds of feed difference.
It was in this experiment that a
pound of salt was figurered to save
176 pounds of feed. You can figure
out for yourself whether it paid to
feed the salt. A pound of salt will
usually last a pig two months or more.
He doesn't need much but that little
goes a long ways.
While -the ration used in. this ex-
periment had plenty of protein, none
was from animal sources.. So we tried
one with tankage of 60' per cent. pro -
tient included. Pigs weighing 36
pounds were fed up to 235 -pounds.
The pigs that got salt weighed 235
pounds a month sooner than those
that got no salt, and ate 100 pounds
Less -feed for 100 pounds gain in
weight.
Whatever the ration, it pays to let
the pigs have access at will to salt,
but it pays better still to combine the*
salt with a good mineral mixture.
There is no questiori but what the use
of plain white salt saves feed in sub-
stantial quantities, promotes health,
lessens losses and shortens the feeding
period.
Pigs Are Mostly Water!
The brood sow that is well watered
during the wintertime, and during the
summertime too, has an advantage
over her, neighbor that is compelled
to eat snow and lick ice out of frozen
troughs. Our experiments have de-
monstrated that it is not essential to
heat the sow's water but that it is
advisable to supply free, open water
a couple of times daily or else have a
'water supply that is continuous and
which of course does not freeze up.
Self -icing is not self -watering, and
self -watering is to be commended.
It may be well to emphasize here
'that an analysis of a little of pigs
will show that the total weight at far-
rowing time is actually comprised of
about 80 per cent. water. just think
of it, four-fifths of the newborn pig
is water and only one-fifth is dry sub-
stance! A litter of -20 pounds weight,
therefore, when squeezed out would
yield 16 pounds of water. Yes, it pays
to water the brood sow well, but yet
it is poor economy to pamper her
with warm slope or heated water.
Meat and Bone By -Products
as Feeding Stuffs.
An investigation towards the estab-
lishment of standards in meat and
bone by-products used as feeding
stuffs has been carried out by the
Chemisilry Diyision of the Experi-
mental Farms. The materials dealt
with include meat and blood meals,
tankage, bone meals, and fish meals,
the by-products of packing, houses,
slaughter houses and fish canneries.
Analysis of a- number of market
samples of each of these feeding-stuffs
have been made and the results de-
tailed in bulletin No. 49 of the Dept.
of Agricultuee, distributed by the
Publications Branch of the Dominion
Dept. of Agriculture. They are high-
ly nitrogenous concentrates especially
useful in feeding swine and poultry
on account of the high percentage of
protein and bone making material
they contain. Purchasers are warned
always to buy these feeding-stuffs on
guarpteed analysis, as it should be
certain that they were prepared from
fresh materials and that they are
sweet and sound.

pork products by 24,f1e3,100 pounds,
the total being 128,150,000 pseuds
cempaned with 103,646,900 pounds in
1928, The increase in enliatss does
not represent the augmentation of hog
supplies, ,eince the surplus of; hog
rnarketings over the previous year
vvas equal to about 80,000,000 pounds.
As a consequencee domestic ineeiry
most have absorbed 57,500,000 pounds

Analysis of Feeding Stuffs.
There are at present on the market
a number of high-priced feeds, mostly
the by-products of packing houses,
slaughter houses and canneries, and
including meat and blood meals, tank-
age, bone meal, and fish meals. A.
new bulletin, No, 49 of the Dept. of
Agriculture, prepared by Dr. Frank
T. Shutt, Dominion Chetniet, and Miss
S. N. Hamilton, Assistant. Chemist,
gives for the first time in. Canada, an
analytical survey of these meterials.
The eomposition of a large number of
samples is given in detail. The auth-
ors stress the importance of making
certain that thee feeding-stuffs are
sound and wholesome and free from
any taint of reemidity and decompo-
sition. They should be purchased only
on guaranteed analysis.
Benefits of Sheep Dipping.
A Live Stock Branch sheep pro -
meter in Western Ontario who had
taken an active part in installing com-
munity sheep dipping taelse, tells an
interesting story of the experience of
a group of sheep men for whom one
tank was installed. These men were
not very enthusiastic about sheep dip-
ping, and the second year neglected to
put their sheep through. The one sea-
son's experience, however, had enabled
them to contrast the results between
dipping and not dipping. The next
year every man of them came back
thoroughly convinced that no branch
of the farm work was more important
than the annual dipping of the sheep,
which produces a better and more '
valuable fleece, a more contented and '
therefore better doing crop of Iambs
which finish readily for thennarket.
Silage,.
Silage is the most important of all,
succulent fodders, and is almost in-
dispensable for the carrying on of
successful dairying in most parts of
Canada A new bulletin on the sub-
ject, No. 50 of the Dept. of Agri-
culture'prepared by Dr. Frank T.
Shutt, Dominion Chemist, and S. N.
Hamilton, Asst. Chemist, has just
been issued. Feeding experiments with
different silages have been carried on
at a number on the ,Experimental
Farms, and analyses of samples of
these silages have been made. The
bulletin which may be obtained from
the Publications Branch, Dept. of
Agriculture, Ottawa'gives the details
of the analyses of silages made from
sunflowers, corn, oats, peas, vetch,
sweet clover, and various mixtures of
these crops.
Did Your Clover Kill Out This
Spring? Know the Reason.
Many fields are in good shape with
practically no loss; a few fields are
showing considerable injury and will
give an indifferent crop of hay. The
principal factors causing clover
are:
Weakness due to lack of lime in the
soil.
Weakness due to lack of phosphates
in the soil.
Weakness due to poor drainage.
Freezing due to lack of snow cover-
ing.
Weakness due to general poverty of
the soil.
Drainage can be undertaken, lime
applied, phosphates applied, and the
soil generally nut into, condition to
develop big husky plants. Plan your
drainage now, and look ahead toward
the application of lime in the autumn.
