The first evidences of change 1n the only -out fodder are a rise in temperature and the production of carbonic acid gas.

The oxygen in the mass of cut fodder is quickly used up early- in the process of fer- mentatlou. The temperature remains around 100 degrees F. except at the surface or at points where air is admitted, going much higher. The continued.preeenoe of air or oxygen is not desired and their removal from the mass prevents the development of molds. Molds are harmful in that they destroy or use up the abide re- quired for the preservation of the silage, Air -tight walls. and a, /ve11 consolidated masa are very essential in the control of fermentation. How Corn Menges In the Silo. ' The green corn changes to yellow, then brown and develops an aromatic odor and sour taste. The sourness to due to the development of lactic acid, the' important preserving agent in Silage making. Bacteria which cause decay and molds aro inhibited in the acid poor medium of ferment- ed corn. The total amount or acid formed is between one and two per cent. of the Weight of silage. Other products of the fermentation are al- cohol and sugar. The amounts of these are not large, being-in.the case of alcohol .1 to .4 per or the weight of silage, The amount of sugar which disappears from the corn is almost exactly equivalent to the amount of alcohol and acid formed during fermentation. About one -halt the sugar present In the recently en- siled corn is cane sugar. This is broken up into Glucose and then changed to alcohol and acid. These changes take place rapidly and are generally completed in 12 days, giv- ing and excellent preservative me- dium, that will keep ensilage for years. How Fermentation Is Produced. The fermentation is brought about by plant enzymes carried by the corn, bacteria and yeasts, which- may be attached to the cut corn or drift' into the silo as it is being filled. The sugar in the green corn juice is at- tacked by the Invertase carried by the plant cell and reduced to simpler forms. , These simple forms are at- tacked by zymase and a small amount of alcohol is formed. Acid forming bacteria also attack '.the sugars and bring about the change resulting in the mass being largely acid In char- acter and therefore in a condition to keep.—L.

The Late Mrs. Fred Vanstone.— Mrs. Fred Vanstone, 181 Cobourg street, Stratford, passed away early Wednesday morning in .Toronto Gen- cral,Hospital as the result of an opera- tion some days ago.

Recleaned Elev- ator Screenings as a Grain Feed for Winter Feeding of Beef Cattle, •(Experimental Farms Note. Experiments have been conducted at the Lennoxville Experimental Farm for the past ;five years, with standard recleaned elevator screen- ings versus different meal mixtures as a grain feed for the winter feeding of beef steers. The average results, foc the past five years, are as follows:— The lots fed screenings cost 12.06 cents per pound of gain, while those fed meal mixtures cost 13.33 cents per patted of gain. All meals were fed in conjunction with ten pounds of hay, and thirty pounds of good silage per day per steer. The cheaper cost per pound gain with screenings is due to the fact that screenings have been available at a lower price than other grain feeds, the difference being even greater five years ago, than it is at present, The reason for this is that farmers are beginning' to appreciate the value of good screenings for .beef and pork production, and for that reason the price is advancing to near- er the level of other feeds. The most satisfactory way that we have 'found of buying screenings, is to purchase them unground and have them ground locally, There have been on the market grades of ground screenings which have not given the satisfactory resultsthat unground screenings have. We feea that under certain conditions, especially in years when there is an abundant supply of hay and other roughages, that these screenings can be marketed for a fair value by feeding to steers, and at the swine time keep up the fertility of the farm,—•J.

Mr, Bowes` has been spending quite aconsiderable time of late in calculat lig his forecasts :for the next twelve months and is satis ed that he will not be veryfar out, Ile bases all hie predictions on 'scientific principles and maintains that he cannot go very far wrong at any time. 'With regard to 1927, he admits that he was a little bit off in the Spring predictions but that, taken es a whole, his' forecast of a fairly dry season carne true. A glance a4 the 1928 fore- cast goes ito show that thereis not a great deal of change from that of the past year, and that the coming year is going to be another dry one, although he does not think that it is going to be dry enough to be at all .harmful In the farm crops. These forecasts are for any part of the northern hemisphere located in the same relative • position between the equator and the pole as North America and are not to be applied to countries or areas which receive their heat from the torrid or ocean currents, such as Great Britain or the British Columbia coast, Mr. a Bowes is very proud of his re- cord of past years, notwithstanding• the many criticisms which have been levelled at him, and he is prepared to stand back of any prediction he makes, admitting that no person can make a perfect forecast of .weather conditions for a year. iFollewin'g 'are his forecasts: Janizary—,First ten days, very cold; strong winds; heavy snow falls; bal- ance very mild and calm. 'February—First fifteen days quite mild and calm; about 1,7th, cold and unsettled; 24th, strong winds, ram, snow and quite cold.

Twenty-three steers, averaging in weight 1,145.6 pounds, were fed for 113 days, making a -daily gain of 1.94 pounds or .219 pounds per steer. The total gain for the twenty-three head was 5,046 pounds made at a coat of 8.15 cents per pound. These steers were fed in an open shed and yard. Silage and grain were -ted in a mange!' running the full length of the shed end handy to the silo and feed room, The rough- age composed of corndtalks and straw was fed in the yard. The grain feed• ing consisted of a mixeure of cornee barley, oats, oil meat, glad Soy bean meal, The Soy bean meal was start- ed in very small amount and grad- ually increased in the ration to one pound per"day. The total grain ra- tion at the commencement of the trial was two pounds per day, this was increased' gradually to eight. pounds per day near the close of the feeding period. The steers consuraad a total of 46% tons of silage, ten loads of corn fodder and grain valued at $232.19 market price, The total feed cost valuing Silage at ;3.00 per ton and fodder at $10.00 per load, was $411.69. The spread between purchase price and selling price was $1.25 per hun- dred pounds live weight.. The gain over coat of steers and teed was $175.39. The manure may also be considered a gain sufficient to cover 'the cost of labor,—L. Star Dealing With the Broody Tien.

The skin will ihtmedietely absorb the oil and it will 'penetrate the tissues and bring speedy relief, "Cry it and be con- vmeed, As the lin,inent sinks in, the pain comes out and there are ample grounds for saying that it is an ex- cellent article, Extensive and thorough experi- ments dealing with the broody hen problem have proved conclusively that broodlneas can, to a very large extent, be bred out of a dock. To achieve this• end, the prime essential is never to hatch chicks from eggs laid by the hen that is prone to broodiness. This, naturally, is a method that takes time. One or two yore w111 not eliminate broody hens from a flock, but there will be fewer of them and they will not be so per- elatent in their broodiness.
