N But the ultimate decision rests with the cow's palate and stomach and udder. What she says, goes. This inquirying dairyman from Long Island had seen that his herd ate wp sweet-corn stalks much more com- pletely than field-corn stalks. So he ‘wrote to the editor. The editor prob- ably pulled down some book contai: - ihg analyscs of stalks and reported what it said, that “there is very lit- tle, if any, more nutriment In sweet. corn stafks.” e H Perhaps there fsn't, so far as thek chemist's knowledge and accuracy in testing enables him to find out. H But, if the cow’s insides, being fIj) ed up with sweet-corn stalks, proceed to get more than twice as much yol- low fat for her ribs and butter-fat for your milk-pail out of thome sweet- corn stalks, you're going to take t: cow's word for it, rather than the chemist’s!

But, respecting the clearly ex- of those pear trees, 1 ve drawn several loads, at different times, to put around them, and shall continue to do so, when I have the chance to pick some up from coal- using neighbors. It may, perhaps, be that the soil around these particular trees is ex- ceptional in some of its content -or some of its lack. It may be that there are other fertilizers which would have done as well or better. It may be that a similar use of similar ashes aréund your trees would not produce like re- sults. ‘1 don't kiow.
