It Una an Important field of t'wfel neaa on tilt* General I'arm. Corn, from the ease with which It can lie converted Into silage, is per haps entitled to stand at the head of all forage plants for this purpose. The solid stems, flat leaf hud proper ratio between its liquid and solid constitu ents seem to favor It for this work. The plant, however, is comparatively poor In protein. - Of the legumes clover Is probably the most valuable plant both for hay and A SILAGE FED COW. silage. Its heavy yield, richness in protein and soil renovating qualities will command the attention of all pro gressive agriculturists. Clover, with the possible exception of alfalfa, can probably be grown and placed in the' silo at a lower cost than any other for age crop. Vetch Is another valuable legume. It will thrive In a greater variety of soils than clover and can be sown as a catch crop either In the spring or fall. It is very palatable to stock and about equal with clover in nutritive principles and adaptability for silage. Alfalfa is also a good silage crop. This plant under favorable conditions will yield a crop representing perhaps n greater value per acre than any other forage crop growu. With the silo this crop can be made of Inestimable value to the dairying and stock growing in dustry In semiarid sections. Field peas make a good silage crop. They are rich In protein, but stock do not relish them quite so well as clover and alfalfa. Some unsatisfactory re sults have followed attempts to ensilo peas and vetch when grown with grain. While the grain will materially aid in holding th® vetch and pea up, thus facilitating the harvesting of the crop, too large a proportion of grain is undesirable when the crop Is to be en siloed. The hollow stems of the grain carry more or less air Into the silo, which Is thought to accelerate fer mentation and consequent deteriora tion of the silage. The best forage plants for silage are generally those with solid stems and which carry over 20 per cent of solid matter in their physical structure. Very succulent plants, such as cab bage, rape and Immature corn, clover, alfalfa or retch, when carrying much less than 20 per cent of solid matter, are unsulted for silage. Recorded results of a large number of experiments with silage warrants the conclusion that plants are in the best condition for silage.when they are fairly well matured. Corft Is seemingly In the best condition for the silo when the kernels are nicely glazed, just after the roasting ear stage. The problem of sweet and sour silage continually comes up, and much the orizing has been Indulged In. That some silage Is exceedingly sour Is a well known fact, but the cause of this condition is not well known. Result* obtained from experiments seem to in dicate that there are at least two con ditions which favor the development of organic acids In silage—l. e., Imma turity of the plants and extreme com pactness of the sllagei A good ex ample of the former is shown In Imma ture corn silage. Corn silage which though extremely acid was exceptionally well preserved, possessed an agreeable odor, and cows ate It with avidity. There were no ap preciable harmful results from feeding this exceedingly sour silage. The period of feeding, however, was brief, only ex tending over two weeks. The first cut represents a dry Short- horn cow which from Jan. 1 to May 1 SHEEP FED ON BIT-AOE. was fed daily, without grain, 40 pounds of clover silage and what mixed clover hay she would eat up clean. This cow not only retained her excellent condi tion on the above ration, but made a satisfactory gaiu In live weight. Tlie second cut represents Cotswold twes which were taken off from rape Jtnd clover pasture Dec. 1, 1000, and put on clover silage, mixed hay and a light ration of grain. Tills was fed until March 15, 1901, when they were photo graphed. The illustrations are intro duced simply to show that silage lias an Important field of usefulness ou tin* general furni.—J.

"Few persons are aware of the fact," j said a well known physician, "but It ii true, nevertheless, that the egg of the partridge Is one of the most nutritions things In the world. They arc not used for eating purposes except In very rare cases, and then it generally happens in remote rural districts. I have known j negro families In the state of Louisiana during the laying season to live on tlic ; eggs of partridges. And they would, flourish handsomely and grow fat on account of the rich properties of the eggs. "These eggs, of course, never find their way into the market because they ( are never taken from their nest except by such persons as I have mentioned, _ and they rob the nests, I suppose, be- j cause their principal food supply come-3; from this source. Quail meat comes ! pretty high in the market at all times, and the average man will find it more profitable to spare the eggs and wait for the birds when the hunting stason rolls around: These men would pass 100 nests in one day without disturbing an egg. The sport of hunting the birds is an additional incentive. "The average negro does not care so much about this aspect of the case. He figures that the white man, having the best gun and the best dog. will beat him to the bird. So he goes after the egg. One partridge will lay anywhere from 12 to 20 eggs, and a nest is a good find. I know of many families in rural sections who feast on these eggs In the laying season. I have tried the egg myself as an experiment. 1 found it peculiarly rich. It has a good flavor. Is very palatable and in fact is altogether a very fine thing to eat. Iteally I be lieve that the egg has more nutrition In it than the fully developed bird, but of course, as one of the men fond of the game in the field, I would like to discourage the robbery of the nests."— New Orleans Times-Democrat. HUSTLING FOR BUSINESS. More or Le» of It Done In Xew York Lanferi* Office®. "Get a move on! That's the great modem motto," said a New York law yer who has been practicing In the local courts for the last 25 years. '•When I was admitted to the bar," he went on, "there was a great idea of the dignity of the profession. A law yer would about as soon have paraded Broadway carrying a sandwich sign calling attention to his legal ability lis he would lia»e thought of hustling in any other way for business. The thing to do was to rent an office and sit in it until somebody came and dug you out of the dust and spider webs and asked you to take a case. "The march of progress has changed all that. Every law Arm in this city hustles for business. I don't mean that the big men of the firm chase around after clients. Of course they don't. But the firm does a lot of shrewd planning ahead. It schemes In a particular fashion of Its own to widen Its sphere of usefulness—to itsoif. ! "Of late years one of the expedients adopted has been the taking into the firm of young college graduates who can give a reasonable guarantee that they will bring Lusluess. College men know of this custom, and many of them shape tiieir life at the university accordingly. They are after friends. They want to be popular. They want to be able to 'swing' as much of the future legal business of their fellow graduates as they can. "A chap who can bring business of that sort is taken in on a good salary even when he Is the veriest tyro at law. He's expected, of course, to do what real work he can and to study hard. But the salary Is for the pull he can exert over his fellows." —New York Sun. Animal Intelligence.
