Summaryof an Agricultural Expert
ment Station Bulletin.

The experiment deprtament of the
Ontario Agricultural College at
Guelph reports in bulletin 49, the fol-
lowing experiment:
In the fall of1890 five hundred grade
lambs were purchased in the eastern
part of Ontario. AS purchased they
were turned into rape fields and fed
upon the rape until October 20 when
ninety were selected for the expert
ment. These were shorn October %
and % and weighed October "a. They
were pastured on the rape in fine
weather, but kept housed in rough
weather until November 81, after
which they were confined to the sheds
and the yards in 'front.' The shed was
large building, with ceiling l04 feet
high and hay loft overhead. 1t was
divided into compartments large
enough to hold 16 or II lambs, each
compartment having small yard at
tached.
The lambs were fed ration consist
ing of oats 7parts, oat screenings l
part, peas parts, and bran l part by
weight, together with all the hay they
would eat, and an average of three
pounds of sliced turnips per day be
ginning with one pound and increas-
ing to five pounds.
They were fed from November 81,
1890, t. April "a, 1891, when they had
consumed a total of II, ,409 pounds of
oats, 1862 pounds oat screenings, 4,7l2
pounds peas, 1,777 lbs, bran 1879 tons
hay, and 2515 tons turnips.
The average weight of the lambs at
the beginning of the experiment was
84.S5 pounds, and at the end 1876
pounds. the average gain per month
was therefore 8.25 pounds.
At the end of the experiment ten
more lambs We're added to the lot,
making one hundred in all, and these
were shipped to Liverpool, where they
arrived in good condition and were
sold at an average of S1l.89 per head.
the costof shipment being 1915 per
head. 1t is stated that this cost was
excessive, OWL z to the small number
shipped, and that larger lots could be
shipped at $3.50 to SO. 90 per head.
OF the ten lambs added to make up
the. hundred, five were freshly shorn
and five had not been shorn at all. 1t
was. found that the autumn shorn
lambs stood the journey better than
either the unshorn or those freshly
shorn, and that they occupied less
space than the unshorn lot on ship
board. m ~

A Postal Savings Bank.

The postOffice authorities at Cincin-
natl have recently discovered that
hundreds of travellers are using the
postal money order department as a
savings bank.
Commenting on this discovery the
Wheeling Register remarks that the
circus people and others in the show
busines We're the first to make use of
the postoffice in this way. These
tourists have little faith in banks, but
they know Uncle Sam never breaks
and never suspends. So they have got
into the habit of purchasing money
orders made payable to themselves.
When they have done this they know
that their money is safe. Fraud, theft
and forgery cannot make them lose
their deposits. Their savings are per-
fectly safe and when they reach home
they put in a personal appearance at
the office an draw their money. Re-
Gently & lols female circus perform
er visited t4,e postal order office at Gin
cinnati and drew out Sc, 900, for which
she had purchased orders while she
was on a long tour of eight months,
The only drawback to the sort of
savings bank is. that instead of pay
ing interest to the depositor, the de-
positor must pay for the accommoda-
ton. If it were otherwise, if deposit
tors were assured not only of absolute
safety, but of a moderate rate of in
terest also, this postal savings bank
would be the most popular institution
IN the country.

when at work in the fields he had 8
presentiment that the hour of his dis
solution was not remote. He immed'
lately made his will, and had a modest
but substantial coffin forwarded to his
residence. Coleman's family did not
view these preparations with the alarm
which he thought they should, and il
greatly vexed him. He swore that
presentiment or no presentiment, he
would live indefinitely just to spite
them. He had his coffin lined with

A Dangerous Roommate.

Deputy Marshels who work in the
Indian country lead q hard life.
Accommodations are not always to
be had. Tom Smith recently told a
reporter of an adventure he had one
night last week.
Night overlook him near an old
cabin, but as the Indian custom of
burying the dead in their houses
and then moving away flashed upon
him, he decided to sleep under a
tree at some distance, and thus avoid
a possible interview with an abort
ginal spook. In the night rain
set in, and he got up and went in
the cabin and shut the door to keep
out the rain and water.
He wrapped his blanket around
him and lay down. Presently he
heard growing and winning, but
he paid no attention to it. The
growls aud whinss grew fierce and
louder, but he lay quiet, trying to
go asleep. The animal ran around
the walls, scratching and yelling in
a way to make one feel very uneom
Portable and make such . thing
as sleep impossible. It was pan
thsr. Finally Smith concluded that
the beast was not going to be quiet
and let him rest SO he got up and
opened the door and let him out
Then he lay down and slept without
further disturbance until morning

A Faithful Steed.

For many years after the Custer
massacre, whenever the Seventh
cavalry was paraded, or there was
any mounted formation, there was
presented the pathetic sight of an
old cavalry charger, saddlsd and
equipped and led by q trooper on
each side, the empty saddle telling
the story of the old horses faithful
ness He was the sole survivor found
on the field of the Custer massacre
He belonged to an officer in the reg
iment, and watched by his body, al
though wounded in dozen places,
for days and nights, and when tho
rescuers came there he stood, gaunt,
starving wounded, bat faithful to
the dead man. The la.e General
Sturgis, who was then colonel of the
regiment and who lost a splendid
young son in the fight, issued an or
der that the horse should be cared
for to the end Of his days, A. attach
ed to the regiment, and that at all
mounted formations he should be in

ly q bad potato could be found,
though two thirds were bad in the
ridges not moulded up 1t was
found that the presence of worms,
grubs, &c, increased the disease in
proportion to their numbers, that is,
their boring operations let in the dis
ease spores through the soil.
Though the method of double
earthing up WAS found to almost en-
tirely protect the potatoes from the
disease, it WAS feared that, when
taken up. they would still come in
contact with the spores, while being
taken up and thus become infected
after all. A great many experiments
were made on this point, and the re-
suits may be put as follows: If tax
en- up before the tops had complete
ly withered, they did become infect
ed, and to very large extent If
the tops were cut and taken up
before tho tops had complete
ly withered, they did become infect
ed, and to a very large extent. If
the tops were cut of and taken
away before tho the tubers were lift
ed, disease still showed itself in o
few days, though they were perfect
ly sound when taken up. This WAS
expected, as the spores which had
already fallen from the tops were on
and in the soil. II the tops were al
lowed to completely wither before
the tubers were lifted, the spores
died from want Of food. and no dis
ease whatever showed itself, either
at lifting or afterwards. II the tops
were cut and taken away as soon as
the tubers were ripe, and before tho
spores bad fallen in any great guam
tity on the soil, the disease which
made it's appearance in the potatoes
was not very great. II the tops
were cut and taken away, and the
tubers not lifted for another week or
so, very little disease resulted. as
the spores wore mostly dead. II the
tops were allowed to wither, and then
month allowed to lapse before the
tubers were taken up. no disease at
all ever manifested itself, and it is
believe that fortnight's time would
have been equally effective.
