Results of Experiments in Shesp.Feedino
Value of COtton-Seed Meal,
The Southern Live Stock journal
gives the following experiments in
feeding sheep, to show the value Of
cotton-seed meal for this purpose;
In the winter Of 'S7 'Ss, TO one lot Of three

they would eat up clean.
The experiment las ted fiue months, at the
end of which time the lambs were shorR
and 81 aughtered. The results of the experi.
ment are thus summarized by the director.
Prof. J. p. Roberts.
The effect of feeding an undue proportions,
of non nitrogenus food (corn meal) to sheen.
is:
~ To decrease the production Of wool
by one. quarter.
(2) To decrease the strength Of the bones
by one-third.
(3) To reduce the production of both fa4
and lean meat.
Not any of these three important effects
are desirable in sheep husbandry hence
we may conclude that corn alone is not the
best food for sheep.
similar experiment was conducted IN
49, SO lasting five month. Each OF the four
lots were feed differently-thr lambs il
each lot
Lot Ill, fed on corn and timothy lay al

daily-(nutritive ratio / to l09)--requlred
667 lbs. of digestible food for ID. grain.
Lot w., fed on timothy hay and a grain
ration of three fourths corn, One.eighth
wheat bran and one eighth cotton sbsd
meal, with small amount of roots tnutrltive
ratio to 6sO). required 6O9 lbs. digestIbIs
food for h. grain.
Lot v, fed on a mixture of three -fourths
corn, eighth t-bran, and one
eighth cotton-seed meal, with timothy hay
(nutritive ratio to 6.5l.required $40 lbs di.
gestible food to l lib. grain.
Lot VI, fed on mixture of two thirds
wheat bran and one third cotton seed meal,
with clover hay (nutritive ratio 1 to 42l,
required All lbs. for lib. grain.
From which will be seen that diet Of
corn and timothy (wide of carbonace0us
ration) required the greatest amount Of di-
gestible food to produce one pound gain
live weight, while ration of bran, cotton -
seed meal and clover required the least
The latter ration also gave n per cent
more wool than the former The wool from
Lots V. and VI, whose ration contains
moderate amount of heterogeneous food,
weighed respectfully Sc and 46 per cent
more than that of the corn fed lot. 1t was
noticed In both these experiments that the
amount of water consumed increased as the
food was made more heterogeneous.

DRESSING AN ART.

The Golden Mean Which Must Be At
tanned by Women of Taste.
1t requires something more than a
long purse and fashionable milliner to
enable one always to be dressed just as
one ought to be. The best-dressed
woman is by no means always the one
who is arrayed with the most splendor
and costliness; and to know how ia
dress according to the occasion is as
much an art as to know how to dress at
all. In ones own home to out-dress
ones guest is rudeness and an unkind,
ness; the house, the equipage, the reti.
nue., the encourage, the whole establish.
ment is there to speak for one; the per
sonal attire can be of the most modest
One certainly would never revive the
singular French custom of receiving in
ones night-dress AMI in bed, an affecta-
ton of simplicity which was really an
extravaganza of luxury, since it served
the purpose of exhibiting a profusion OF
rich laces in curtains, coverlet, cap and
dress, and general equipment, rivaling
the spiders work and worth a Kings
ransom: for, apart from the indelicacy
and improperly of that fashion,
it is not wise to assume any
simplicity whose subterfuge can be
seen through. The dress that is not
conspicuous with dazzling nor any OBJ
ject of envy, and yet fine enough to
show respect for ones guests, is easily
arranged by the woman who knows how
to dress at all. But, on the other hand,
an attire that is too modest is equally
out of place on the guest, for it seems
to assume that the entertainment is
inferior and the convives of no conse-
quence. 1t is better for the guest to be
overdressed than for the hostess-better
for the guest than to be underdressed;
she need not feel uncomfortable if she
has come in dress outshining that of
every one else present, since the worst
that can be said of it is that she thought
the occasion worthy of it.
But, in fact, the artist in dress will
avoid either of these extremes, wearing
nothing too rich or too poor, too fanciful
and esthetic, or too plain and coarse.
Conspicuous dressing has been one OF
the disorders of the age, and il the
ta1lor-made dress had not run into the
region of costliness it would have
wrought wonders for women of all
grades. The perfectly dressed woman
causes no one to turn the head and
glance at her, unless for her charming
ensemble, but if by any accident the
glance is arrested and fixed on her
toilet, then it is seen to be faultless.
Only in the private depths of ones
boudoir, where none but intimates have
access, can any eccentricities of dress
be INDUCED, and there one can cultivate
the picturesque at ones own sweet will
if it is really worth while to give the
subject so much attention. The chief
thing to remember is that style of
dress becom IS a part Of ones own per-
sonality, of ones individualism, and one
would always prefer that that should be
pleasing.-~Harper's Bazaar.

SAVED BY A HYMN.
Conductor StilweII's Narrow Escape from
Death at Chatsworth.

Conductor Stilwelrs Narrow Escape from
Death at ChatswOrth.
Conductor ]. w. Stilwell said, while
speaking of the Chatsworth disaster in
which three hundred people were killed
or wounded, that his life was saved by
the familiar hymn Nearer, My God to
Thee" AS the train approached the
fatal railway culvert Mr.. Stilwell was
taking up tickets in car in which
there were sixty-two passengers of both
sexes and all ages. In the car were
five young ladies seated in close prox-
unity to each other, and as the train
swept forward in the darkness they
sang the old hymn which is
one of the most plaintive and
touching OF musical productions.
One beautiful girl in the first blush of
womanhood sang the verse of the hymn
alone and her companions joined in tho
chorus. The hour was so appropriate
for such raasic that every ear in the car
was turned to catch the refrain, and the
conductor stopped with ais hand On the
knob of the rear door of the car until
the clear voices of the singers had COM
pleted the chorus. AS the last words
died away the crash came, and fifty
eight living beings in that car were
hurled to eternity. Had he gone out he
would have been creshed between the
rars.-DenveF (CoL) News.

the wearing of carriers has tendency to
make the feet big, and that st. Louis
young women were not built for sus-
penders. The idea originated in Spain,
from whence it readily spread to France.
Of course Its adoption by the French at
once brought it into prominence. and it
is now considered the proper thing. The
boots are very light In weight, some hav-
ing heels and others low. either kind be-
ing allowable. Patent leather seems to
be preferable. but great many pairs are
made out of morocco with kid tops The
tops of the latter are highly ornamented
with designs in colored silks. OF course
nothing but the softest kind of leather is
used in the manufacture OF these boots.
