Exclusive Meal Feeding.
We notice thru the correspondents of
the Agricultural press are opening the
discussion of Mr. Miller's plan of win
tering dry cows on meal exclusively
on hay, fodder, or straw nnd that
after another winter's trial the plan
seems to have more advocates than ever.
Of the results thus far oflered the ex-
perimenter best known In the dairy
world is Mr. II. 1 Dunbar, who reports
the results of experiment of keeping
fourteen cows for fifty days on meal
alone. Mr. Miller writes ; " " With me
this new plan has proved a decided
success, and I have substantial grounds
every time I milk this portion of my
herd for congratulating myself for
having tested it. For the first four
weeks my meal was finely ground, and
my cows gained In flesh ; but the last
three weeks I fed, contrary to Mr.
Miller's rules, meal that was coarse,
under which they lost fully as much as
they had previously gained, and I
noticed a slight tendency toward Bcour
ing; but when put back upon hay no
stranger could pick out the meal-fed
cows from the herd. Some of my eigh
teen head were heifers, and young, and
my judgment is that the meal diet did
not answer their wants as well as it did
those more advanced in years. They
calved all right ; the calves were line,
and everything about them satisfactory.
I paid $1.30 per cwt. for the meal, and
the cost of keeping was about one-half
that of hay at $10 per ton, while the
labor of hauling and feeding the meal
was only nominal. Now, as to after
results : 1 am getting much more milk
from those meal-fed cows than I ever
got before decidedly more than from
the rest of my herd, which were winter
ed in the usual manner upon hay the
cows all running in the s.ime pasture
and treated alike. Of course I attribute
this increased production to the meal
feeding. My opinion Is that this new
system of feeding develops in some way
I will not pretend to say how the
milking qualities of the cow, but those
who practice it should follow, as nearly
as possible, Mr. Miller's rules of feeding
as laid down in his pamphlet," After
having carefully read Mr. Miller's
pamphlet our convictions were against
it, but after the reports which have been
given to the public during the past two
winters ( all favorable) wo are inclined
to think there is something worthy of
note in the plan, and that under certain
circumstances it may do well.
Homo Made Cracked Wheat.
Cracked wheat, which has i n the last
few years become a staple article of food,
may be made at home at a much less
cost than when bought ready prepared
from the grocer. Use the best wheat,
which at $1.50 per bushel would cost
two and a half cents per pound. Spread
the wheat upon a white cloth, and pick
out of it all the oats, straw, and the
like ; set it in some open dish in the,
stove oven to dry, but not to scorch;
when very dry run it through a coffee
mill, set so as to crack every kernel.
This will be a kind of wheat-hominy,
mixed with some fine. To cook it, let
the water be boiling, then stir in the
wheat and keep it stirred, till it has
done settling ; then a very gentle flre
will keep it boiling, with an occasional
stirring. A big flre will surely burn it.
It is better to boil it an hour or more.
This may be eaten warm, with any kind
of dressing ; or, when cold, like corn
mush, be sliced and warmed for use. If
stirred when in a cooling state, it be
comes sticky, like paste. Ittnay be
taken up hot into dishes, and cut in
slices or otherwise when cold.
The Shrinkage in Corn.
A Des Moines (Iowa) correspondent
says : Farmers are in doubt whether to
take twenty cents for their corn this fall,
direct from the field, or rely upon get
ting thirty cents next spring. After
corn is dry enough for cribbing it will
shrink about one-flfth by next May.
Unless well protected from the vermin
they will destroy from five to ten per
cent. The interest of the money from
the sales this fall would be five per cent.
These three items make thirty-five
per cent, in shrinkage, depredations
and interest. The shrinkage on wheat
is about seven per cent., and depreda
tions of vermin three per cent.; interest
five, making altogether fifteen percent.,
ho that eighty-five cents is better this
fall than one dollar next June. The
shrinkage on potatoes is light, but the
loss by frost and rot are heavy, and it
Is better to take thirty-three per cent,
leas in the fall than the spring.
