HOW TO  FEED  ROOTS.
Trustworthy Information Concerning; tne
Much Vexed Question of Shrinkage.
Many random statements have been
made concerning the shrinkage of com
in the crib and the enormous losses
thereby sustained by farmers who are so
stubborn as to hold the crop for a better
market. A number of experiments have
also been reported. The principal reason
■why previous experiments aro ef so little real value is because they were made
•with insignificant quantities and under j
conditions which  do not exist on one '
farm in a thousand.    To be of value an
experiment of this sort must be on a
reasonably large scale and under just I
such conditions as are most likely to i
exist on a majority of farms. |
Three joint owners of a tract compris- j
ing 6,000 acres of land decided to make J
a careful test and  determine exactly
how much corn actually does shrink in
weight when husked and cribbed under
They Are Most Valuable as a Supplemental
Food In the Winter Rations.
The gcnesal farmer, by which is
meant the .farmer who keeps a variety
of stock and raises a variety of field
crops, finds that when everything is
gathered in for winter he has a considerable quantity of coarse fodder, such as
straw, corn stover, bean straw, etc. He
realizes that to be economical this
should be converted into manure and returned to the land to enrich the soil of
his farm.
There are a few men, unacquainted
with the necessity of practicing rigid
economy on the farm, who depreciate the
feeding value of straw, corn stover, etc.,
and ridicule their use as food for stock to
any extent. But a writer in The Prairie
Farmer feels confident that in bringing
this subject before practical farmers it
becomes at once a question of interest
and importance as to just how to most
profitably convert the coarse residues of
the farm and make them available in
the form of a fertilizer for future use.
He says:
Stock will not consume much straw
nnHSfis it be under the most favorable
circumstances. However, properly handled, such foods are'valuable and serve

State of Michigan, county of Washtenaw s. s.
Kotice is hereby given, that an order of the
Probate Court for the county of Washtenaw,
made on the ninth day Of December A. D. one
thousand eight hundred and ninety Ave. six
months from that date was allowed for creditors to present their claims against the estate of
Jesse Warner late of said county, deceased, and
that all creditors of said deceased are required
to present their claims to said Probate Court
at the Prohate Office in the city of Ann Arbor,
for examination and allowance, on or before
the ninth day of June next and that such claims
will be heard before said Court on the ninth day
of March and on the ninth day of June next at
ten o'clock in the forenoon of each of said days.

A CORNCRIB THAT SAVED $1,606.52 ON ONE CROP.
such conditions as are usually found on
the ordinary farm. To this end, they
erected, in the center of tho tract mentioned, a double crib, 26 feet wide, 250
feet long, and 10 feet high at the eaves,
with a driveway S feet wide through
the center and a good, tight roof over
all. Ueaiv one end of this crib a small
office was built, and a set of standard
scales put in. Husking began Oct. 22
and ended Dec. 17. Every day while it
was going on every pound of corn that
went into the crib was weighed and recorded. The quantity put in footed up
exactly 16,] 55 bushels of 70 pounds
each. From November to March the
price offered for corn by local dealers
was 38 cents per bushel of 70 pounds.
June 1 the price went up to 52 cents,
and the corn was sold, to be delivered at
the elevator 3,W miles distant early in
July. When the tirno for delivery arrived, the corn was weighed as it came
out of the crib, and it was again weighed
at the elevator, the total weight at the
two places varying but a few pounds.
The corn weighed 14,890 bushels 40
pounds when taken out, showing a total
shrinkage of 1,359 bushels, or a small
fraction loss than 7% per cent.
It will bo seen that if these men had
sold the corn immediately after husking it would have netted them §6,-
138.90. By holding until it was sufficiently cured to be handled safely in
great bulk and the lakes and other waterways were open to traffic, they realized §7,746.12, or §1,606.22 more than
if they had allowed themselves to be
frightened by the great shrinkage bugaboo.
There is a right as well as a wrong
time to sell com, says the writer of the
foregoing in Bural New Yorker. He
adds: If the crop is a short one and the
price at husking time is what may be
termed high, then is the time to let go.
If, on the other hand, the crop is a
"great" one and the price at husking
time is below the cost of production,
then is the time to hold on.
In this age of wire and slat combinations good-cribs can be erected at a moderate cost. The main parts aro the floor
and roof. Get the floor well up from the
ground, so that vermin cannot harbor
under it and block it up so that it will
not sink. Then put on a rainproof roof,
aud the corn will be all right. A steep
roof made of common boards is better
than a nearly flat one made of the best
shingles. Get your portion of this
"great" crop into good cribs, aud then
you can afford to smile at the shrinkage
wail.
Ice oa the TTarm.
Tho advent of winter reminds us that
the season of storing ice is at hand. Every farmer, whether in the business of
dairying or not, should put up a store of
ice for family use. The advantage to the
housewife of having a refrigerator easily accessible, where articles of food and
cuts of meat can be kept in a cool condition, unaffected by the high temperature
prevailing, can hardly berealized until
it has been provided. Providing an icehouse and storing up the frozen crystals
in a manner to keep through the hot
weather are simple matters and easily
understood. There is still time to build
an icehouse to fill the present winter.
But, says tho Maine Farmer, any outbuilding not otherwise in use can be improvised for the purpose. Partition off
a section, fill the walls with sawdust,
cover the  bottom with a layer of the
a purpose in the general farm economy.
In the first place, the straw should be
eecured in the best possible manner, so
that it will not be necessary to feed an
equal quantity of snow and ice along
with the straw. Feed straw in the coldest weather, reserving the hay for warmer days, when the animal's appetite becomes lessened. It is essential at all
times to -supplement such foods with
proper grain rations. It is just here that
we find our roots most valuable as a supplemental food in the winter rations for
stock.
They help to strengthen the appetite
of the animals, whether they be horses,
cattle, sheep or swine, for we feed them
to all stock, so that they not only consume but relish a large quantity of
coarse fodder. The roots undoubtedly
improve the appetite as well as increase
tho "digestive ability of the animal, correcting the detrimental tendencies incident to feeding such coarse, woody substances, greatly stimulating tho general
health and vigor of the animals. While
there is no especial danger of feeding
too many roots, yet, like all other foods,
they should not constitute too large a
proportion of the ration if we wish to
secure tho most marked and profitable
returns. We believe the tendency is to
feed too few rather than too many.

The cut here reproduced from TheFarm

same, and after filling cover with a foot

snow scraped from the field of ice where
the cutting is to be done. Harvest it as
soon as the ice attains 10 or 12 inches
in thickness.
