Buck wheat ana wheat Bran.

The following report of an experiment III
feeding is copied from the P,octicnl Farmer
of Philadelphia and very fully accords with
an experiment OF our own, conducted dur
ing the spring of 1878. We fed corn meal
wheat bran, and buckwhcat bran Our
experiment in wetting the fodder and
sprinlilng on the feed, extending over a
part of two seasons confirms all that has
been claimed heretofore for the practice.
These are subjects worthy the attention of
all dairymen and ought to lead to many
more practical experiments.
We have heretofore given some state
ments favorable to buckwheat bran as
profitable food for mich cows. 1t used to
be thought if anything grown on the farm
was worthless as feed, 1t was buckwheat
bran. The following experiments, by the
careful superintendent of the Eastern
Pennsylvania Experimental Farm in Ches-
ter county, John |. Garter, seem to indicate,
however, a decided value in this branch
and also to some extent the advantage of
steamed or cooked food:
During the first trial, commencing
January 2Sth. 1874, 1G cows were fed with
pounds of cut fodder and pounds of cut
hay, twice day, and 81 quarts of corn
meal and s. quarts of wheat bran mixed,
per day, fed to them at two feeds. The
wheat bran costs $26per ton, and the buck
wheat bran cost $40 per ton. The wheat
bran weighed 1Gl pounds per bushel, and
the buckwheat bran 10 pounds. In these
experiments an equal value of the two
brans were used for family of two per-
sons, and does not therefore appear in the
yield of butter:
The Rutland daily globe. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1873-1877, 1874-04-28

The census of France for 1872, just pub
lished. shows that that nation, notwiih-
standing the losses by the German waT,
still ranks with the three greatest on the
globe in the chief elements of power and
prosperity. The population has receded
from 3S,0OO,0O to little over 36, 000, 000
and 1t is estimated that the value of the
real estate-Alsace and Lorrainc--turned
over to Germany is 1865, 100000. OF the
3O,OO0OO0 Frenchmen, there are no fewer
than 1900, 900 returned as living actually
in the country, while over 19,000,00 or
rather more than one-half of the pOpula-
lion, are dependent on agriculture-a pre-
dominance of the rural element quite dit
ferent from what most persons have ina
gined, and the other statistics coincide, as
for instance. 100000 horses, 300, 900
mules, 400, 900 asses, 1000, 900 cattle, 25,-
600, 900 sheep and 10000, 900 swine.
These figures are sufficient to show that
France still has all the material resources
for holding her place among the foremost
natiOnalities If her census shows any
weakness ii is in her educational depart
ment, for we see that 1900, 900 of her
people-whether including infants or not
Is not stated-can neither read nor write,
while nearly 1000, 900 more can only read.
We have recently given the main statistics
OF Great Britain and the United States, and
need not repeat them IN this connection.
Already our population exceeds that Of
either of our rivals, being $4,000, 900 to
$4,000, 900 in France and 32 100000 in the
United Kingdom of the English Islands.

About German Dogs.

ny MRS. C..
want to tell the little folks something
about the poor dogs in Germany, and what
a hard life most of them lead. / don't, of
course, mean very small dogs, with curly
tails and light bushy, silken HAIR; dogs that
seem made for nothing but to frisk about
this world and bark all the day long. But
I'm talking of large, strong mastitis, such
as are to be found all over this country.
How do you think they spend their short
lives! In rushing about, with great open
mouths, to scare little people? No, indeed !!
a harness of leather is fastened about them,
and they have to drag about the streets
small carts, or wagons, filled with all sorts
of things. Sometimes two dogs are put to-
getber before the same cart, Just as you see
ponies driven.
Early in the morning the mill-cans are
thus carried all over the city. The poor
animal is led by peasant-woman, in a short
blue dress, who holds in her hand a tiny
stick. If he goes too slowly sic hits his
poor little legs to remind him of his duty.
But as this kind of treatment doesn't inn
prove the dogs temper, strong muzzlc is
fastened over his mouth so that he cannot
bite.
Not many days since, l saw dear little
lOSy -ihccu BlIl, HDUul tcI years O1 age, nelp-
ing 10 draw one of these dog-carts. A strap
was fastened to her waist, aud she seemed
to b, doing most of thework. felt very very
sorry for this child, till she looked up with
a sweet happy face to take from the hand
of the woman by her side an apple, and !
heard her laugh as mcrrily as if doggic and
she were enjoying their work. These poor
beasts have names which will sound strange
ly TO your ears, such as Aminco, Spanier,
Buss, Grifii, ETC. Then Waldmann and
Erdmann for their shepherd-dogs.
Now, perhaps, you think il the dogs have
to work so hard in Germany the horses so
big and strong, are cruelty treated. Not a
bit of it, They are only allowed to carry
Just such n load, and to 90 just such a dis
lance. Their masters often feed them some
of the brown bread which they themselves
eat. When evening comes they are put into
nice, warm stables with plenty of hay. But
alas, for the tired dog He is usually tied
up to some post in Il dismal back yard,
where he whnes and banks just as unhappy,
ill-treatcd dogs always do.
There is very good man in our city of
New York, who does all he can to prevent
horses being unkindly or brutally used. l
think if he could come here he would take
the side Of the dogs and make life easier
for them. | have seen them lie down be-
fore their little carts, too tired to 90 farther,
when the strong woman, or boy, with them
could have helped them, had they chosen.
Every boy and girl should learn kindness to
these dumb animals, SO unable to tell what
they suffer. You can do this if you ask
yourself what you would like if you were
in their places. Kind and thoughtful hearts
grow into great hearts in time. 1 think
should like to preach short sermon on
kindness to the men and women who own
these poor, tired dogs

Here are sweet children three,
Happy as they can be;

A book against her pressed,
Looks at the splnning-tOp
That's not allowed to stop.
Her brother holds a whip
With tight and earnest grip.
The horse unscnred stands near
Wood-hOrscS have no fear.
Upon the mothers knee
A baby joyously
Looks at the sport and crows.
The blood In rapture flows,
And flushes checks and chin,
From full heart within.

In the two experiments it will be seen
that the buckwheat bran increased the
flow of milk, and the amount of butter,
notwithstanding the lower temperature and
the shrinkage of the milk incident to the
