COOKING FOOD FOR STOCK.—TIIC Alba
ny Cultivator says—We are frequently
asked whether the cooking of food for
stock, by steam or otherwise, would be
profitable. So far as regards feeding cat
tle, we are without any reliable experi
ments which have been made in this coun
try to test this point. The subject has at
tracted much attention in England and Scot
land, and the results of several experiments
there Made have been recorded. These
experiments seem mostly to lead to the
conclusion, that though in some instances
cooked food does produce a greater gain
than the same amount of raw food, yet the
advantage of the former is not sufficient to
defray the expense. In feeding hogs, how
ever, especially where grain of any kind
is used, the advantage of cooking seems
generally to be admitted. We are also
inclined to think. that there may be token
ttige in partially cooking some kinds of
food for cattle—such as cornstocks, chaff
.
or straw, which by this means become
more palateable, and the nutriment they
contain rendered more soluble. and more
easily assimilated. The whole subject of
feeding animals, however, is one deserving
ofinfire'thcirough investigation than it has
here received, and we would earnestly com
mend it to the attention of our agricultural
societies
FOOD rob Mmen Cows.—At a large
milk establishment, near New Castle, Eng
land, the cows are fed in the following
manner: 19 Pounds of clover hay—cut or
chopped-168 lbs. brewer's grains, 12 lbs.
ground flaxseed, 2 14. salt, and mixed to
gether, and equally divided as the daily
food for twelve cows. The hay, after be
ingcut;is put into the mash tuh and s7ald
edkiith bailing water. The otherartieles
are then mixed with it. It is stated that a
good cow thus fed, will yield an average of
fourteen quarts of milk per day, for eight
monitta in succession. The owner of the
establialunent, Mr. Arundale, stated that he
hid:One cow which had not a calf (or two
years and a half, that was giving an aver
age of eight quarts per day. A great point
observed is, that the cows never fall off in
etmdition,-Cultieator.

known, we believe, that lamp oil, or fish
oil, of any kind (that which is inferior is
equally as good fur this purpose as that of
a better quality) poured at the root of the
peach tree, will effectually prevent the ra
vages oftho vibrin that has heretofore pro
ved. so destructive to that valuable fruit
tree. It should be observed, however, that
the oil will not compel the worm to quit
the body of the tree, if there when it is sp.
applied;but will prevent its getting into it
after the application. We are assured that
the same process is in use on Long Island,
and is found to be the only means which
will secure the preservation of the tree.—
