Experiments in Feeding

The superintendent of the model farm at
Guelph, Canada. gives, as below, the results
of some experiments made there in cattle
feeding:
/. A steady frosty winter is better than an
open one in feeding cattle.
9. An average two or thrce-year old steer
will eat its own weight of different materials
in two weeks.
3. Two or three-year-old cattle will add
one-third of pound more per day to their
weight upon prepared hay and roots than up
on the same materials unprepared.
4. II is 30 per cent more profitable to
premature and dispose of fattening cattle at
two years old than to keep them up to three
years.
=. There is no loss in feeding cattle
well upon a variety Of materials for the SAKE
of manure alone.
6. Farm yard manure from well-fed cattle
three years I'D is worth an average of s2. 30
per ton.
A three-year-old cattle beast, well fed.
will give at least one ton of manure every
month Of winter.
3. No cattle beast whatever will pay for
the direct increase to its weight from the
consumption of any kind or quantity of food.
. On an average it costs IL cents for every
additional pound Of flesh added to the weight
Of two or three year old fattening steer.
10. In Canada, the market value of store
cattle can be increased SO per cent during
six months of finishing by good feeding.
IL. In order to secures safe profit, no
store cattle beast, well done to, can be sold
at less than A cents per pound. dive weight. }
l2. In the fattening Of wethers, to finish
as shearlipgs, the Cotswold and Leicester
grades can be made up to 200 pounds. the
Oxford down $50 pounds. and the South
down (grade) 100 pounds each, live weight.
49, A COW wintered upon two tons and a
half of hay will produce not far from five
tons of manure, provided that she be well
Uttered and none of the excrements be
wasted.

A MicrOpl,Onc Ear.

An Indiana contemporary, the Lafayette
Courier. is responsible for the following:
Willie Lester, aged ten years, lives with
his father on the Wea Plains. His right ear
is as large as a palm-leaf tan, while the other
is no bigger than the ear of an ordinary sized
wax doll. With his small ear he can hear
the fantest buzzing of the smallest bugs and
insects. and even detect sounds uttered BY
the minutest anmalcule--so small that they
are not even visible to the naked eye.
fly running along window pane, cater
pillar crawling across a sheet of paper makes
sufficient noise TO attract his attention, even
when his back is turned. The sense of hear
inplis so acute in this ear that il is absolutely
painful to him and he is compelled to wear a
cork in il at all times.
The right and large ear is the reverse of
its little companion in both its powers and
properties. To it those minute and near
sounds so plainly discernible to the other are
lost. but distant noises are readily heard.
Although residing l5i miles from any rail
road-Lafayette being the nearest point
vet Willie can distinctly hear the train end
mills blowing their whistles and can easily
distinguish between the engine bells and the
city bells. He can hear the coming Of
storm long before the weather bureau gives
notice of its approach. At suggestion Of n
neighbor, Mr. Lester had wire gauze lid
with tin rim made to fit over willies ear.
Ii consists of two thcknesses of gauze, the
outer one being of larger mesh than the
inner one; between the two there is an
intervening thickness of loose flannel to
soften sounds, Willie wears il continually.
and this. with the cork in the small ear, has
the effect Of reducing his hearing to normal
condition

About six years ago man by the name of
Littlepage was convicted in the Henrico cir
cult court of forgery and sentenced to the
penitentiary. Shortly after his sentence he
appealed to the Governor for pardon, on
the ground that he had become paralyzed and
could not speak. For more than year the
prisoner was not known to utter word.
Governor Kemper appointed medical COM
mission, consisting of two or three eminent
medical men, to examine the prisoner. Lit
tlepage was put under the influence Of chlor.

any one. The pretended paralytic told how

FEW persons are aware of the
quantity of cells living and grow
ing in the large water pipes of
cities. The nature of this fish is
such that 1t can exist without ac-
cess to light and air, and the mud
and silt in the main pipes afford
favorable ground for propagation
and growth. The current is not so
rapid as to prevent their free cir
culation, and there they live for
years, and sometimes grow TO
enormous size. They are not like
ly to enter the small outlets or
supply pipes for houses, and yet
we find in the last report of the
Boston Wate Board that 3S6 stop
pages Of these pipes by fish have
occurred in the past year. But the
enorm GUS number of eels existing
In the pipes is shown by the num-
ber discharged from an outlet of
considerable size. The Standard
Sugar Refinery In South Boston
uses a large amount of water,
which is discharged into the meter
through four-inch pipe. To pro-
tect this meter 1t was necessary to
construct an eel trap through
which the fish could not pass.
This trap had to be frequently
cleansed, sometimes every day,
and seven cells weighing twenty.
ivs pounds have been taken as the
accumulation of single day.
Some of these are of great size,
measuring three feet in length,
as large round as a mans wrist,
and weighing six and quarter
and six and half pounds. So
troublesome did this matter be-
come that the Water Board were
obliged to construct an eel trap In
the street in connection with the
main pipe, and thus prevent their
entrance into the four.inch service
pipe. If this immense number oi
eels can infest q fotr-lnch pipe SO
far distant, there can be no doubt
of the condition of the larger raains
in other parts of the city.

The reasons given by Captain
Hooper, In the prolonged but only
preliminary report of his summer
cruise, for remaining WraDgel
Land New Columbia are not con.
elusive. He says that sit appears
that Admiral Wrangel, after
whom 1t has been called on some
maps, not only never landed upon
its shores, but never approached
near enough to the shore to obtain
. glimpse Of It," But 1t was no more
necessary that Wrangel should
have discovered this land In order
to have 1t validly bear his mamie
than for Victoria or King VIII.
liam or Franz Josef to have seen
the lands that bear their names.
The real discoverer was Kellett, but
he did not fix bic own name upon
the land for the same reason that
II Capt. Hooper had discovered it
he might not have called 1t Hooper
Land. The latter navigator says
that Kellett "only dimly saw what
he supposed to be an island."
However dimly he may have seen
1t, it was evidently there; and his
aupposition that it was an island
has just been shown by the Rodg-
ers to have been an entirely correct
one. Capt. Hooper suggests as
compromise that he has called two
prominent capes by the names Of
Wrangel and Kellett. A better
way would be to name all the
eapes be has discovered as he likes
and also to name any ne " land he
may discover next year, but not
rech risten the discoveries of other
people. A few days after the Cor
wins visit to Wrangel Land, a
party from the Rodgers made far
more extensive journeys upon it,
ascending q mountain, and finding
that the land was an island. This
has struck o still hea-
vier blow to Capt. Hooper's theory.
For the latter says in his report
hat "the names of discoverers are
generally given to islands, head
lands, etc., rather than to extern
sivs countries" Capt. De Longs
discovery that Wrangel Land is
not an extensive country, but an
sland, thus destroys another Of
Capt. Hoeper's objections to it's
present name.
