/IRAN IN PATTENrst STORE

CULTURE,
Ll previoue years we have tested 01
value of different kinc(e of grain sopa
atoly in the fattening of stores, but new
bran thoroughly against any of them,
a mixture of them. The prominence no
given to the bran of ivheat In feedin
miluh cows sledded the experiment r
ported in Bulletin xii„ and in aesooiatio
with it we conducted another last wrote
with exactly the like kinds of food,
fattening store steers.
Eight animals were time handled, a
being Short Horn grade steers two yea
old -three only of whioh could be held
tope of their kind, and the others b
very ordinary specimens. They were g
in October, 1880, and put up to good eta
feeding until the beginning of the test o
38th February following. The lot tie
made into twu equal groups, balanoin
everything as usual to the best of ou
knowledge, and changing during period
of the 68 days, ending 7th May.
The two rations per head per da
were:
4.-18 ]be. bran, 9 lbs. timothy an
olover bay, and 30 lbs. turnips.
B.-101be. of equal weights of groan
peas, oats, barley and corn, with 9 lb
hay and 80 lbs. turnips.
Upon the grain (B), all over the two
periods, the average animal entered with
1,847 and came out 1,371 lbs.
Upon bran A all over the sem, ri-
P
( ),
Remedied -
oils,
oda the average entry was83 an p
b y a d 0 d the
closing weight 1,382 lbs, per head.
These brief statements of the whole ex-
periment are so astonishing that reoapi•
tulation in another form is desirable.
Group 1. on grain began at 1,334 and
closed at 1,360, having inoreased only 26
lbs. per head in 83 days. When changed
to bran the average animal inoreased
from 1,830 to 1,403 lbs. in 36 days.
Group 2. on bran started at 1,300 and
closed with 1,361, thus increasing 61. lbs.
in 33 days, and when changed to grain
the average ahimal ran from 1,561 to
1,382 in 85 days.
Altogether, then, there has been a
mean daily per head increase, from all
sources over all the period, of over one
(1.10) pound to the live weight. Grain
gave a daily rate of two-thirds (.69) of a
pound, and bran fully a pound and a•half
(1.68) per head daily.
Animals were in good health and had
no trouble except one that bloated thrice
when on bran, find hence would be an
item asking for credit to that ration.
Webave never had the same experience
with a lot of stores. During the last
eleven years with us the average daily
increase to weight by many kinds of feed,
has been 2,03 lbs., the lowest 1.60, the
highest 2.70. Besides, on almost an ex-
actly similar ration to this grain (B), we
have obtained in past years a mean of
2.25, so that we are in trouble in having
to account for the unusual circumstance
of the general bad doing, without refer.
e00e to the specialties meantime. One
thing is evident in this experiment,
namely, that the oonduct of each group
has been very uniform, but all over there
wee s decidedly under -average lot of cat-
tle. Quality was wanting in the major-
ity, and few were hearty feeders, Never-
theless there was uniform health, and so
far as regards agents for experimentation
hcaonditions were precisely alike, with
, he reflection that treating such a class
of animals to a variety of things would
most likely be better for them, as against
one kind of food in abundance.
The nutritive ratio of the bran diet is
1;5.04, and of the mixture of grain 1:5.64,
which, though not always necessarily the
best evidence of the feeding value, is a
guide, and indicates in this case that the
hay and roots with the bran was about
12 por Dent. richer that the other ration.
The two may be placed for all practical
purpnses at equal market Value, and thus
we have an increased interest in the com-
petition.
That growing cattle life, specially set
aside to produce beef during, winter,
should be more than doubled in added
Weight by the consumption of 18 lbs. of
wheat Man as against 101bs, of a mixture
of our best coarse cereals and the pea,
seems b rdly possible from a farmer's
reasoning. The point is not only one of
considerable importance; it is one of
physiological interest, the more so as wo
have had the milking cow and the beef-
ing steer giving main different results.
Take the latter first fact of all: -
As shown in Bulletin six. a spayed
eow-an agent of the very best kind by
the way -not only gave somewhat less
milk on 18 lbs. of bran per day, but that
milk was 17 per dent. less in butter fat
than when she got the 10 lbs. of the mix-
ture of grain in question.
Is bran, then, by its higher eonoentrat.
ed and less digestible charade" better
adapted to produce fat and flesh than
milk and milk fat? It has most unques-
tionably said 90 in these tests, and while
further prosecution of the enquiry may
alter results to some extent, the facts so
far are too prominent to be set aside as
belonging to any unusual circumstarnces.
Wo do not enter upon. the chemical
bearings of the 'experiments at present,
becauseProfessorJameshas not yet corn.
plated analyses of fodders and the manure
obtained.
It will be a matter of much interest to
all feeders to note that while the Dow ate
both rations freely and left nothing to
re -weigh, the steers did hot oonsume all
the bran ration, but left an average of
2i lbs, per head por day ; at the same
time the well-balanood grain ration was
cleaned up by the ethers, and possibly
they would have taken more. It appears,
then, that fattening stores cannot make
nee of more than 10 lbs. bran in associa-
tion with 90 lbs. tnrnipsj(and 0, lbs. bay
daily per heed.

we have fattening steers that not only

but did so et one cent per ]read lees cost

Brussels arioket club took the early
train on July 1st and before many hours
wore in Harrigan and on the field ready
for play. The day was very hot but nev-
ertheless the willow was wielded in a
lively manner and, coupled with good
bowling and sharp fielding, a good game
was the result. The home team went to
bat first but, with the exception of Dr.
Harvey, who made 13, rho individual
score was kept down and the inninge
alosed for 48, 6 being extras. Bruesele
then went in to defend the stumps and
managed it so successfully that the soore
book showed 74 when the last wicketfeil.
Jae. Ross piled up 20, putting the ball
over the fence twice, 3. Kitchen made 14
very nicely and Dr. McNaughton made
10. In the second innings Harriston
made 88. This left Brussels 9 runs to
make to win the matoh. H, Dennis con-
tributed (3 of the number when he was
caught out and M. McLennan and James
Ross finished up the balance. The game
was an enjoyable one although a little
one sided. las. Ross did some fine bowl-
ing. H. Dennis also found the wicket
more than once. Kitchen made a num-
ber of good catches.

better) in the foot ball tournament at
Harriston on Dominion Day for the junior
championship and a silver cup, valued at

would play Harriston, and -Brussels try

between the two first mentioned clubs
commenced at 11 o'clock and lasted un.

bout was played in the evening, lasting
one hour, with the same result. The
other two teams had a -game from 3 to 4
o'clock but were so evenly metalled that
the ball did not ono, find its way between
the flags. In the evening they triad their
