The Feedhin Value of Oats. The price paid by farmers for oats at the present time is lower than for many years, perhaps the lowest in the history of the United States. From 1870 to 1895, the lowest average value for oats in the United States in any one year was 22.9 for 1889. The quotations on oats in Chicago markets today are 10 to 12 cents less per bushel than for a year ago at this time. At Lafayette, Indiana, farmers are paid 16 cents per bushel for No. 2 white oats, and extra choice old oats can be bought of commission men for 20 cents. One hundred pounds of average oats and corn are each supposed to contain the following amounts of food nutrients that are digested by the animal body. Protein. Carbob ydrater. Fat. Oats 9.25 48.34 4.18 Corn 7.02 66.69 4.28 Protein is the flesh or muscle forming material, while Carbohydrates and Fat are important fat forming foods. Of the two foods, protein is the most expensive to produce. The socalled ••rich" foods, are so designated on account of having a larger per cent age of protein than the others, and they are usually the highest priced foods in the market. Oil meal is a good example of this class of foods containing a large percent. of protein. From tire above it can be seen that 100 pounds of oats contain decidedly more flesh or muscle forming food than 100 pounds of corm. On the basis of Lafayette quotations, 100 pounds of oats would letch 50 cents, and 100 pounds of corn. 48 cents. In view of these extremely low prices, the writer believes feeders will do well to feed oats, rather than sell them and buy bran, which is now 70 cents per 100. No other grain is superior, if equal to oats as a food forworking horses. For growing cattle or sheep or milch cows it is most desirable, and should be much more generally fed than it is. Instead of feeding corn as the only grain, a decided improvement would be a mixture of two parts ground corn and [one part oats. While oats are I less referred to than other com- [ mon grains, in recommending feeding rations, it is not because of inferior value, but rather from the cost of this food. At the present time, however, the low price will warrant its more extensive use. In a list of 100 rations used by prominent dairy cattle feeders in the United States and Canada, published by the Wisconsin experiment station, oats are fed 35 times. Of 9 Canadian feeders,- 8 added ground oats to the rations. It is not the purpose of this communication to reflect upon the feeding value of other food stuffs, but rather to urge a more extensive use of oats, especially during the present depression in prices. C. S. PLuns, Director Purdue Experiment Station. Robert Randle brought to the Pilot office eight mammoth ears of corn that are from nine to twelve inches in length. It was grown on his farm about ten miles east.
