Bran and Meal.

western Rural
We are requested by correspondent
to give our opinion as to the relative
value of bran and mcal-the latter
mixed with cut fodder-as feed for
COWS, taking the prices of the two into
consideration. Bran is a most excel
lent feed for COWS, and some of those
who have experimental with view of
ascertaining its relative value have
demonstrated to their own satisfaction
that they can obtain more milk from
feeding bran than from an equal value
of any other ground food. Its value
must be reckoned in some general
way, like this, in order that all may be
benefited by what may be said upon
the subject. Our correspondent, who
gives the price of bran and meal in
his locality, will thus be able to see, if
the experiments referred to can be re-
lied upon, that ten dollars worth of
bran is worth more than ten dollars
worth of meal. With the partial ex-
ception of raising calves and the last
stages of fattening, bran may be re-
garded as an economical and most ex-
cellent food. The bran of wheat con-
tains large proportion of the protein
bearing cells of the grain, and conse-
quently it is rich in protein. The aver
age composition of bran is as follows:
ash, 4.31; protein, 14.2S; crude fiber,
100; nitrogen free extract, 69.90; fat,
3.91. The chief value of the grains, as
another writer remarks-except where
a very concentrated food is required
lies in the albuminoids which they con-
tain, since the non-nitrogenous nu-
trients can be more chiefly supplied in
roofs and coarse fodder. But bran,
which is cheaper than the grains, con-
tains the albuminoids in very much
larger proportion, and hence its super
ior value. Bran also has q very bene-
fetal mechanical effect, which we be-
lieve to be pretty nearly, if not quite,
as valuable as its other characteristics.
1t ought to be fed mixed with cut fod-
der.

Floods In EurOpe.

emorest's Monthly for February.
During the past month the continent
of Europe has been the scene of great
devastation, caused by inundations.
An unprecedented quantity of rain had
fallen, which caused the rivers to rise,
and great damage to property has re-
suited, as in these densely populated
countries valuable houses and barns
are erected down to the very water's
edge. Europe suffers from the denuda-
ton of the country, that is, the strip
ping of the mountains of their forest
covering. Central Spain, once the
most fertile region in the world, is in
great part desert to-day, because of
the removal of the wood. This has
dried up the springs, and the clouds
are no longer attracted to the arid hills
of lime and stone, which have taken
the place of the forest-covered noun
tains of yore. We in this country are
destroying our forests at fearful rate,
and already we have inundations and
drOughts, because of the removal of
the forests, which would have pl event
ed the one and saved us from the 9TH
er. There is, it is true, certain
amount of tree-planting in the several
States, but it is done unsystematically,
and twenty sturdy giants of the forest
are cut down where one young tree is
planted. Some day the nation will
take hold of this problem of tree-plant-
ing and certain sections will be set
apart for the growth of wood, and to
preserve the humidity of the soil. But
for many generations we will have
freshets and drought both in Europe
and this country on account of the
waste of our forest trees.

5Oth Anniversary of the Sunday
School of the First Presby-

1t was happy idea, happily
carried out, thus celebrating the
fiftieth anniversary of a Sunday
School organized in 1888, in an old
fashioned school house on Market
Street,
The little bits o'folks on the pro-
gram did excellently well, God
bless them all and every one, We
want to tell them that while their
Pastors address was happy in ev-
cry sentence, we liked the little
four-year-old orators best.
The floral decorations were in
excellent taste. The large five
foot evergreen cross, imbedded with
rare flowers of tremendously blend
ing hues, was especially admired,
as it stood above a rustic mound,
artistically covered with MOSES and
ferns interspersed with flowers.
Sunday was a good day for our
Presbyterian friends, and we are
quite sure our good Brother Powell
greatly enjoyed it.
