Mr. Benjamin Thompson, Baldknob, Ark., is feeding Buckeye Hulls to stock cattle. He says that he yets more food value per ton with less waste. He has bought five tons and has them stored in barn. He says that they occupy less space than old style hulls. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, w*t the hulls thoroughly twelve hoars before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If st any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes.
