Tho object of this experiment was to
present an object lesson on the profits of
the liberal feeding of lambs that are in
tended for tho market.
Two lots of sheep and lambs were fed
in radically different manner The
ration of lot one was intended to be an in
tensive ration or copy of the method
that is used for forcing the growth of
early lambs. On the other hand, lot two
was fed in manner similar to that
which is adopted by many farmers who
consider the sheep to be an animal that
can be successively fed on tho refuse of
barn without the addition of very
much grain.
The sheep of lot one received what good
hay they would consume and pound of
grain each per day. Besides this the
pen WAS SO arranged that the lambs had
access ut all times to n supply OF mixed
grain. The sheep of lot two were fed one
half pound grain per head daily, with
what good hay they would eat. The
lambs of this lot were allowed no grain
excepting what they ate from their
mothers ration.
The following is summary Of the
results OF tho experiment:
First-Two lots of sheep, each con.
tanning ten sheep and twelve lambs,
were fed for three months.
Second-One lot of sheep Dot one) ate
5000 pounds of hay and /, ,434 pounds of
mixed grain. The other LOT DOT two) ate
5000 pounds of hay and $50 pounds of
mixed grain. Lot one ate, therefore, 0S4
pounds more grain that lot two.
Third-During the three months the
sheep of lot ono lost 104 pounds in
weight and lot two 1856 pounds, differ
ence in favor of lot one of SO pounds.
The lambs of lot one weighed 545
pounds and of lot two 864 pounds, diff
ference in favor of lot one of 1Sl pounds.
Fourth-The value of the lambs in lot
ono was $3.50 and in lot two sci. 81, n
difference of S82.8G in favor of liberal
feeding, and net gain above extra cost
of grain of S22.47.
Fifth-The extra amount of grain fed
to lot one was sold to the sheep at tho
rate OF s7i.50 per ton, Report of Maine

1t has been suggested-and we should
not be at all surprised if politics were at
the bottom of the suggestion-that "a
committee be appointed by the speaker
of the house of representatives for the
purpose of investigating "the causes of
the present depression in agriculture"
The Maine Farmer, an agricultural
paper of considerable prominence in the
New England states, has this to say with
reference to the work of the proposed
committee:
'We would suggest that the work of
this body should be to determine whether
there is depression. Farmers of enter
prise, tact, skill and business capacity
are generally prosperous. If the farmers
of Kansas, after having their farms
given them, hopelessly mortgaged the
same for machinery and teams with
which to grow and harvest their crops,
is that depression that the government
is responsible forp If farmers of New
England and the east are SO blind and
so sluggish as to still run in the deeply
worn ruts of a former generation, is that
depression? If the superabundance of
productive population annually brings
forth crops so bountiful that bewilder-
ing surplus remains above the wants of
the people, can we call that depression?
Cranks. croakers and political bummers
we shall ever have with us. but in no
sense are they fit subjects for congress
sional investigation"
Not word could be added to this
forcible Characterization of the dema-
gogy that would attempt to manufac-
ture discomfort for the purpose of get
ting a partisan advantage. And it is all
the mere noteworthy on account of the
source from which it comes. The spe-
cious arguments Of the free trade ''re-
formers" evidently don't count for much
with the farmer. He remembers the
free wool bill and the wholesale reduc-
tions in the agricultural schedule of the
Mills bill far too well to take any stock
in the promises of the free trade party.
Protection is good enough for him, as it
was good enough for his fathers in the
time of Washington and jefferson.

"Good books, like good friends, are
few and chosen; the more select, the
more enjoyable" and to this wise quotas
ton we will add, "the more profitable"
Our friendships influence our character
and manner, especially Of young people,
take color from their associates. So 10
is matter of serious consideration that
you, my young friend, should have your
friends "few and chosen"
But / wish to say a word just now
more particularly about your reading.
A book may have even more influence
over US than living presence. Surely
it cannot be necessary to speak here
about impure or immoral books or
papers. cannot believe that any one
who reads Christian paper would toll
crate that which would bring blush Of
shame to the cheek II 1t were known.
But let me say, If the temptation to
read that which you would be ashamed
to read aloud to your mother ever comes
to you, be sure 1t is from the evil ons
himself and put it from you as you
would viper.

But if you read the life of Dorothea Dix
or Sister Dora or John G. Patton, and
many another which I would like to
suggest if l cared in this brief talk with
you, you will feel that you have mado
the acquaintance of human friend
whose real character and noble work ins
spires you to better living and higher
service.
In closing, let me say that you can
not grow spiritually, which after all 10
the chief thing, without devotional read
ing. The Bible stands first for this. We
'tgrow thereby both intellectually and
spiritually; but there are many deeply
spiritual books that arc the outcome Of
Bible inspiration. Lookeo over tho short
reviews in the church papers and select
from them what you think would do
you good; consult your pastor, or some
friend who has knowledge Of books,
and let these summer hours be rich
with the companionship Of pure and
elevating oughts.-Christian Advo1

Accused oficiaIs Acquitted.

PIrTsBURa, Sept. t3.-The case of the
commonwealth against John r. Murphy,
chief of the Allegheny department of
public safety, and John Glenn, Frank
Donaldson, Henry Norman and Samuel
Mcclure, special officers, charged with
embezzlement, was tried before Judge
McClung yesterday. 1t resulted in ver-
dict of acquittaa placing the costs on
the prosecutor, John McKirdy. The
charges grew out of the use by the de-
PENDANTS of the so called front office
fund" This fund was the accumulated
fees on county cases and workhouse and
Jail commitments. These fees were col
lected monthly and placed in common
fund, which was used for stationery,
kilograms, attorneys fees and sending
officers after men out of the city. it
was claimed that the fund should have
been turned over to the city treasury.

BIG FIRE IN ALBANY.
Half Million Dollars in Property Gone
Up In Smoke.


ALBANY, Sept. 13.-Shortly before 2
o'clock in the morning flames were dis
covered raging in the upper floor of the
Old Middle Dutch church building,
which forms an L from Hudson avenue
to Beaver street. The whole of the L,
through to Beaver street, was occupied by
James B. Lyon, state printer, except a
portion of the northest corner of the
building on the ground floor, which was
occupied by the e. f. Williams Printing
company.
The flames spread with lightning
rapidity up through the stairways of the
Hudson avenue building and soon broke
through the roof, running along the cor
nice. In twenty minutes the whole in
terror of the pudding was seething
crater.
A gene 1 alatm was sent in and soon
the whole fiss department was at work on
the contiagfation. At 2:33 o'clock the
whole front of tine building tOppled over
and fell with crash into Hudson ave-
nue., the rebounding debris flying
through store windows and doors of the
buildings on the opposite side of the
street. Fortunately no one was injured,
but there were many narrow escapes,
there being an immense crowd in the vi
cinity.
The flames spread with such rapidity
that before being subdued it destroyed
the old church, the Lyon building, the
Hotel Columbia and the Hudson avenue
building and seriously damaged other
buildings adjoining, together with a
large quantity of manufacturing ma

to n reporter for the United Press that
the situation in Venezuela demanded tho
presence there of sufficient force to

There was no intention. he said, to inter

AT present, it is said, there is no estab-

protect the residents of the country from
assault and pillage by predatory bands.

There is door letting in and letting

way out. An enemy darkens the door.
But it is lightened by faces in the COM

thinking truants, repentant prodigalo

entrance into the kingdom is by the
door which forbids the climbing up
