premises bordering on what is call-
ed the little swamp, on the BIind
Line, Hay, came across a skeleton or
part of one. Some of the bones were
partially decayed and others in a good
state of preservation. It is supposed
that they are the remains of an In-

posed of as is the custom of later
years, by Laying them on top of the

The fact that the cedar tree having
grown three feet in diameter and the
skeleton being found four feet from

century must nearly have passed.

APPLES AND APPLE PRODUCTS
AS A CATTLE FEED
For a considerable period, but par-
ticularly within the last two years,
several experiments have been conduc-
ted at the Dominion Experimental
Station, Kentville, Nova Scotia, on
the utilization of apples, and various
apple products, as a feed for cattle.
When not on pasture, it s desirable
for cattle to have some green suc-
culent feed, and apples or apple pro-
ducts may replace either in whole or
in part the customary use of such
products as turnips, mange's or corn
ensilage.
Many farmers' in apple producing
areas know that fresh apples can be
fed to cattle to advantage. They
should be cut or sliced in the regular
pulper, and may be fed at about the
rate of 2% pounds per day for each
100 pounds liveweight. When apples
are stored for feeding purposes they
should be allowed to mature, before
feeding. That is, the autumn apples
'should he fed first and the winter ap-
ples later in the same order that they
are utilized for human consumption.
Drop apples and culls may be trade
into a good ensliage, They should be
run through the corn cutter together
with a certain amount of hay, to ab-
sork the excess juice, and packed in
a silo. As a rule from 12 to 20 per
cent hay and from 80 to 88 per tent
apple makes' a good mixture. Both
timothy hay and clover hay may have
been used satifactorily in this man-
ner at ICentville. In British Colum-
bia, straw hes been used. Tho en-
silage is palatable and compares fav-
ourably with good corn ensilage. It
may be somewhat, nitre acid than
corn ensilage, and to remedy this, it
is desirable, though perhaps not al-
ways necessary, to sprinkle in the
silo, as it is being filled,. ground
limestone at the rate of three to four
ounces per barrel of apples.
An excellent ensliage may be com-
posed of two-thirds pomace and one-
third skins and cores. These may be.
packed in the 'silo in layers, two loads
of pomace ancj then one load of skins

:A' Tribute
The other day we said a last fare-
well to one of the finest Christians
and truest friends it has been our
privilege to know. For more than
three score years and ten the " Sec,
oncl of Stanley!!' knew and loved Mrs,
Edward Glen. As the world, today,
reckons distance her sphere was lim-
ited but her influence extended as
far as her friends journeyer!.. For
many years she toots tints from full
days to teach a class of little gals
and boys in Baird's Sunday School.
What lessons those were! Iiow at-
tractive and how worthwhile life
could be if we, followed the Master's
way as we glimpsed it through her
gracious personality. Through sun-
shine and thr.ugh shadow—and dark,
indeed, were the shadows—her faith
never faltered—her smile never wav-
ered. And, what a friend! Hcr hand-
clasp and her welcome were ample
payment at the end of the longest
journey. "Thus using moments of a
busy life. Lo, Angles know Iter days
were not in vain."
A FRIEND
and cores. This makes an excellent
feed, highly palatable, without waste,
and of the right physical consistency.
In ensiling apples and apple pro-
ducts the material should be packed
in the silo as well as possible; this,
of course, being apotr'able to all
kinds of ensilage.
If an ordinary silo is not available,
ensilage may be made ;luite satis-
factorily in a trench. I1 is eonven-
lent to dig a trench in a liiilsic!e, a:'d
if a batik or hillside is near the barn
a suitable trench silo may be, made at
little expense. In most soils, rough
boards are required, though in some
places these are not necessary.
Dried apple waste may be used sat-
isfactorily, feeding about one-quarter
the weight of what one would feed of
the fresh product. However, in view
of the present market for dried apple
waste for pectin marufaettrre, it is
unlikely that any will be available as
a cattle food, at economic prices.
It has been demonstrated at the Ex-
perimental Station, ICentville, that
apple products m{tv be fed to advan-
tage to young growing cattle togeth-
er with a certain amount of fish
heal (which is the cheapest form of
protein). Cattle which were fed con-
tinuously through the winter with
bay, apple products, and a smali
amount of fish meal, trade as great or
greater gains in weight than compar-
ative cattle which were fed with hay
and a standard grain ration, when
the protein content of the total feeds
consumed was the same. The folloiv-
ing is a suitable ration suggested for
young stock of twelve to eighteen
months, when grain is net available:
12 pounds good mixed hay, 15 to 20
pounds of apples' (either fresh or en-
silage- and 1 pound of fish meal.
