FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.


Tests Proving That Corn Alone II Not
the Hest FOOD for sheep
The result OF experiments made At
different times and places In feeding
pigs has demonstrated that when fed
TO these animals heterogeneous food pro-
duced a much greater per cent Of mus

October they were shorn and placed in

November III to prepare them for the
experiment.
On November III they were divided
into two lots Of three each. the total
weight OF each lot being as nearly
equal as possible AT the beginning Of
the experiment lot No. was fed daily
one and onc-half pounds or oilmeal and
one and one-half pounds OF coarse wheat

REVIEW.

NEW YORK, February 13.-The market
in London showed little change from
ours of Saturday and closed even with
New York Our market opened firm but
very dull-about 1900 shares OF st. Paul
for the clique and there were supporting
orders In this stock all day. The room
traders were the main sellers. London
sold about two thousand to the clique up
till noon, and the stock looked rather
firm at closing. The long Northwest
stock which has been so freely supplied
on every advance has been traced to the
treasury stock-so say brokers this after
noon. Reports were circulated that the
Lehigh miners had returned to work
Some attempts were made to sell Read
ing on the Lehigh story, but supporting
orders checked any large declines. To-
wards closing there were fair coverings
by the room people and the general
market all closed better. Bonds show
fair inquiry but little actual trading.

A comparison of the lengths Of the first

progress. Ancient Greek art seems 30
have found the greater beauty in longer
forefinger, but in the Apollo Belvidere
there is no appreciable difference in the
length Of the two. Gorrillas, orang-

finger, while among Europeans and
Americans the longer finger is sometimes
the first, sometimes the third, and some
times both appear of equal length.
