BRAN FOR FEEDING.
Concentrated Food Possessing Consid-
erable Nutritiye Value.


Wheat bran is concentrated food
and possesses considerable nutritive
value. 1t contains rather an excess Of
ash, and for this reason it is good to
feed to young or growing stock, as it
develops bone and muscle. 1t is
splendid feed to use in connection with
poor bulky feeds, like straw, fodder
and roots; fed with them it will aid
materially to make up a complete
ration, By using it, the objection to
selling grain, rather than to feed out to
stock, is largely overcome. Wheat and
potatoes can be grown and sold off the
farm if bran is purchased and used in
connection with other materials, as
bran retains large proportion of the
mineral elements.
In feeding, the animals take ont cer-
tain parts that contain animal nutrition
and leave considerable plant food that
is saved in the manure, and can be
added to the soil to retain it's fertility.
During the winter it can be mixed
with corn meal, weight for weight, to
good advantage, lcssening the cost of
feeding and at the same time adding to
the fertility of the farm. 1t is de-
sirablc, to a large extent at least, if the
plan and carry ont good system of ro-
tation, and in doing this there will be
more or less products that ought to be
marketed to good advantage. But in
doing this something else should be
used to take the place of what is mar
lSeted. If this is not done, nearly or
quite every thing that is grown should
be fed out to vigorous, thrifty stock
and the manure be saved. If any is
sold . sufficient quantity of other ma
terials should be purchased to take its
place; bran and oil meal are the two
principal materials that can be used in
this way, and where this is done a good
supply Of coarse rough feed can be pur-
chased and used, even if it is necessary
to sell a portion of the grain.
This is especially the case in feeding
growing stock, and with milk cows, if
fed in connection with corn meal end
oil meal, it will aid to increase both the
quality and quantity of the milk.
One Of the best rations that can be
made up for the milk cows during the
winter is clover or millet hay with corn
and oil meal and wheat bran. Roots
vcniently, and in doing this have the
value of the manure increased.
AT the price bran can usually be Sc
cured at, it can be used at least through
the winter to good advantage and
NOR. stock be kept in proportion to the
grain than would otherwise be possible.

FOREST Reform.
COLORADO STATE FORESTRY !
ASSOCIATION.
DENVER, Colo, Feb. 10, 1891. }
AN APPEAL.

To the People of Colorado:
During the past seven years the friends of
forest reform in this state have, in various
ways, sought to prevent or diminish the
reckles waste and destruction of our mount
ain forests, and to encourage, SO far as prac-
ticabie, forest tree planting.
The following are some of the principal
measures taken in that behalf:
18s4-Systemntic publication of forestry
matter in the local press; organization of the
Colorado State Forestry Association.
1s85-Memorials to the general assembly I;
passage of forestry act. establishing the office
of state forest commissioner, and constituting
county commissioners aud road overseers
forest officers in their respective localities.
No appropriation was made to carry this
act into effect, and for a period of two years
the burden of enforcing its provisions was
borne by the friends of the measure.
Legislative acts making it a criminal Of
fense to carelessly or wilfully set prairie or
timber fires, to the injury of others, or to set
camp-6res and fail to extiusuish them; and
requiring the erection of notices warning
persons against violations of the law.
Annual meeting of the American Forestry
Congress in Denver.
18s7-Forestry act of 1885 amended SO as
to provide salary and travelling fund for
the state commissioner, and further defining
the duties of forrest officers.
Senate joint memorial to congress asking
for transfer to the state of the public tim
her lands within the state
1sa9-"Arbor Day" established by lesis-
lative enactment, aud its due observance en-.
joined
1s9l-Forestry convention in Denver, and
reorganization, upon permanent basis, of
the Colorado State Forestry Association.
Introduction of bills in the general as
sembiy to amend aud strengthen the forest
laws.
In view of the above, can it be said that
efforts for forest reform in this state have
been barren of resulis2 Although less hns
been accomplished than might be desired,
there is no cau,e for dscourngemcnt.
We now appeal to our people for such aid
in this connection as they may be able 10
render. 1t is especially desirable:
/. That the membership of tie Colorado
State Forestry Association be largely in
creased. The annual membership is only
sl00. Renittances can be made to George
II. Parsons. Treasurer, Colorado Springs. or
to either of the undersigned.
2. We need more stringen. forest laws,
both state and national. 1t is hoped that all
who feel an interest in the subject will com
municate with their representatives in the
Legislature. or with the Colorado delegation
in congress, urging necessary action in this
behalf.
Agriculturists and others interested in ir-
rigation enterprises, AMI those who desire
the preservation of our wild game and fish,
should take = special interest in the conser-
vation and extension Of our forests.
Respectfully,
WM. N. BYERs,
WIN. E. PABoR, President.
Secretary.

Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier, the eminent
French painter, died in Paris on Saturday,
aged 70 years. He was in many respects
the most interesting figure in French art.
Many stories are told of his devotion to his
WORK. No painter in any age has himss' f
received such prizes for his work. Mr.
Stewart paid s9o,O for "1s07," and took his
picture out of the painters studio. NJ. Sec.
retan paid $70,oO0 for "1sl4." Altogether
Meissonier has received nearly 81, 1000 r
his paintings, yet at the time of his death he
was supposed to be IN embarrassed circum-
stances.

places them in the other species. 1t is
very likely, as DR.. Serene Watson sug-
gests to me, that the two species run
together, and that the California trees
represent variation towards j. Mand-
chourica.
The species might be called with
better propriety the japanese butter
nut. The nuts are borne in long clus-
ters which often hold from fifteen to
twenty specimens. Nuts are shown,
with the huslfs on and removed, in the
illustration. The shell is thinner than
that of our butternut, and the kcrnel is
sweet and rich, much as in our species.
The tree itself is attractive. 1t appears
to be one of the most promising of re-

THE JAPANESE WALNUT.
A Tree That Is Now Attracting Some At
tentIon In This Country.


tcntiou In This Country.
The Japanese walnut, which is now
attracting some attention, appears to
have been introduced into the United
States about twenty-five years ago.
The Oldest trees are at Tower House,
Shasta County, Cal, the property
of Charles Camden. There are two
trees. "They bore nuts at eight years
of age" Mr.. Camden writes. .The
trees grow very thriftily and are hand
some in shape, and are very full and
regular bearers" The illustration is
made from specimens from these trees.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Camden
sent trees to General Bidwell, ct
Rancho Chico, and they are now bear
ing. These and the two original trees
are the only ones yet fruiting in this
country. The tree is now offered by
some Eastern nurserymen, and We
shall soon hope to know something
definite as to it's hardness and capabil-
tiles. The species grows in Northern
Japan and is said to be as hardy as an
oak.
Juglans Sieboldiana is closely allied
to j. Mandchourica, another species of
Eastern Asia, though it is not recorded
rs cultivated plant in Japan. DR..
Maxinowicz, the author of both species,
says that he has often seen them grow
ing and knows of no good distinction
between them, except the characters of
the nuts. j. Mandchourica has oblong
and ridged nuts, while j. Sieboldiana
should have short and smooth nuts. In
shape, the nuts of the specimens figured
(see illustration) are very like those of
J. Mandchourica, but their smoothness
