FARM NOTES.

THE VALUE OF BRAN.-Its feeding
value consists in its nitrogen and its
fat. or the former we have already
spoken; of the latter two and a half 10
three pounds is contained in one hun
died pounds Of It. It's theoretical
money value is estimated at one dollar
and seventy cents per one hundred
mounds as compared with the best hay
AT one dollar per hundred. Rye bran
is thought to be richer in nutritive ele-
ments+Chan wheat bran, and in u con-
sidprably long experience we are strong
Iv inclined To believe this to be well
founded, having found rye bran ground
with corn and oats to be more produce
tive of milk and butter than wheat
bran. In our practice bran is largely
used for horse feed in the form of a
warm mash made Of four quarts of bran
and one quart OF pure lInseed meal seal
ded and left to steep and DOL until
slightly warm to the hand. 1t loosens
and opens the skin, encourages the she'd
ding of old hair, and supplies the hair
follIcles and the oil glands of the skin
with fatty mat er, thus giving the coat
a softness and glossiness which nc other
means can so well secure. II is a con-
slant food for cows, being ground three
hundred pounds of corn and n hun
dred pounds of oats to two hundred
mounds of the coarse kind of it. This
grinding together Is preferable because
the bran is made very fine and more d.
gestible and the materials are evenly
mixed together.

SCIENTIFIC

Professor Frederic SiemenS has hit up
on a device to get more light out of gas
than is ordinarily obtained from bur-
ners, having found a means by which
the air which mingles with the gas at
the time of combustion Is heated by con-
tact with porcelain conductors at a
white heat, while at the same time the
flicker caused by imperfect combustion
at the edges of the flame is done away
with by causing the fame to double up
ON itself in such a manner that combus-
ton is complete and the flame perfect
ly steady. If the flame of al argand
gas burner, after reaching nearly to its
natural height, were turned inward,
and drawn by suction Gown through the
tube of the burner. it would follow
about the same course az the flame in a
Siemens burner. The vacuum which
draws the fame down is caused by the
rush of the heated air which goes to
feed the flame. Siemens burners, now
in use, give twice the light that the
same amount of gas burned in an ordl-
nary burner of the best construction
would give. So far no burners of this
pattern have been made of less power
than five hundred candles. In these
burners the flame is 50 large and hot
that the porcelain is heated to a degree
not possible IN a small burner for do
nestle use.

To have a fine crop of large, rich cur
rants enrich the ground, make it clean
anil mellow and thin out the brush.
Cut away the old stunted wood and
leave the vigorous young shoots. Let
them occupy equal distances from each
other, and give the bushes in some de-
gree a regular form. No fruit is more
neglected than the currant, the bushes
being allowed to become enveloped in
weeds and grass, and the enfeebled
bushes allowed to grow into a mass of
brush. The difference in the size of
the berries raised by the two modes is
about as one to four.

that of becoming a little darker in color,
