Good bran In, in my Judgment, says

the dairyman. He must feed certain
amount of IL to get the best results In
winter. Whenever la, . tried to sub
stitute other feed wholly the cows be-
gan to fall away in their milk. Also,
when bran Ii fed. have never known
a cow injured by being turned into the
stalk field. In an experience Of twen-
ty-two years In Kansas l never lost n
single head from this cause. At pres
ent we are MIXING bran and shorts,
equal parts by weight, and feeding
cows in full milk nine pounds each
twice day. This will nearly; fill n
common bucket, and makes good
feed. As winter comes on, and we
/ wish to add more carbon to the ration,
we substitute corn chop for the shorts.
In addition to this we feed the cows all
they will eat of good, carly cut corn
fodder with the nubbins left on. In
my locality millet hay makeseNcellent
feed when cut early and well cured.
Our cows increase in milk as soon as we
begin to use it. Oats and corn ground
together make n very Substantial food
for cold weather, but my cows shrink
in quantity unless bran is added. The
same is true of wheat screenings.
Nevertheless. wheat screenings ground
makes cheap feed this year know
of nothing better by way of variety.
Four quarts of this to feed is about
right for good mixers. | notice in a
late paper that Hon. Levi Morton's
cows are fed from fifteen to twenty
pounds of oil meal each per day 1t
would not pay us to feed in this way.
! question,if it will pay us to feed oil
meal ut present prices of other feed.
This question of feed is very iinpor-
tant one, and what can be done in New
York cuts no figure at all in Kansas.
We have to make the most of existing
circumstances, or, in other words, be
in harmony with our surroundings.
The rule is that the liberal feeder
is the successful dairyman. At the
same time judgment must be used.

IT'S A BIG JOKE.
Easter kissing In Russia Leads to Very
Awkward Occurrences.

Awkward Occurrences.
An Enslishman who has resided in
Russia rs the director of some iron
works tells wocful story of his suf-
ferings at Easter, when the people
tian custom of kissing each other.
For week beforehand" he says,
"they are busy boiling and painting
eggs, which they are to present to one
another with "a kiss The moment the
clock strikes twelve, the privilege o.
penance, as the case may be, COM
mcnccs. Nobody then considers him
self insulted by the combined offer ola
kiss and an egg.
In few cases, it may be confessed,
the trouble is a pleasures; but when it
comes, as it did with me, to II long
line of several hundred worlsmen-
mostly engaged in'charcoal burning, in
the stock and pokinge of fires and
chimncys. and other deeds of darkness
the poetical and sentimental view Of
the religious custom is completely shut
ont, and supplanted by the intolerable
annoyance.
''One may talk of the Balaklava
charge, the storming of the Redan, and
such exploits; think of the nerve that
was required to stand my ground be-
fore bearded and vodka-loving Mujik,
with cinders in his beard, and charcoal
dust, in the pores of his skin, man
who had been breaking calciLcd ore,
perhaps, all night; and looked like the
doubtful progeny of an African negro
or red Indian in his war paint.
"Thinl of my horror of suspense
while one after another whole regi-
ment of such smutty objects shutfied
up to my place, each drawing a dusty
sleeve across his sooty mouth, each
diving to the bottom of his pocket for
the painted egg, each taking off his
hat and, calling me down to the pm
ishment with the politest of bows, the
most respectful OF grins; and when the
FIRST hundred had kissed'me three hun
dreh times in the aggregate, to know
that another hundred had to come
after them!
Here were courage and endurance
worth by of better cause. But should
have done wrong to avoid the courtesy;
and very likely should have deeply
offended the people, to whom it was
often the expression of a long cher
ished feeling of gratitude for favors
which perhaps knew nothing of, OF
had long ago forgotten"

The Origin Of Easter Eggs.

Germany is the home of the Eastei
egg Other lands, of course, have
them, but nowhere are they so beauti-
fal or so freely bestowed, or used in so
many lively games. On Easter morn
ing in Germany there is always great
excitement over the colored eggs and
sugar eggs, and printed eggs and eggs
with presents inside found in the nests
the children had prepared, and every
little one you meet win be saying:
"Oh, just see what the dear little
Easter Hare has brought me!''
One. seems to be quite sure where
this idea started. Some say it came
from the old days of heathen- w orship.

Easter In Oid England.

A curious custom in England was
that of taking the shoebuckles OF
women on Easter Monday by the men,
and the taking of those Of the men by
the women on Easter Sunday. These
were retained till the following
Wednesday, and then redeemed with
forfeits, leading to various festivities
called Tansy. after peculiar cake
then eaten. There was among other
English customs the rolling of young
couples down Greenwich Hill, and the
clipping of churches by children OF the
charity schools Each child stood with
its back to the church, joining hands
till the circle was complete, when all
would rush away to grid about an.
other church.

him with smile. He was vaguely con.

Dedication ofthe Congregational Church.
Notes.
POMONA, Oct. 15.-The Congregational
church was filed to it's utmost capacity
this morning to attend the dedication
ceremonies. The special music by the
choir was very good indeed; and DR..
Hutchins Of the First Congregational
church, Los Angeles, having for his
text an utterance of Paul, selected from
Corinthians, "You are not your own, for
you are bought with price," delivered
fine discourse upon the "Consecration
of ones self to God," and in secondary
sense the dedication of the edifice in a
consecrating spirit to the same God.
The services continued two hours, from
IL q. m. to O'Clock p. m.
The announcements made today by
Rev. L. H. Frary, pastor of the Pilgrim
Congregational church, were that there
would be social with open doors from
7 to 10 at the church tomorrow evening
that there would be an election of Off
cers in the Christian Endeavor society
and that there would be meeting in
the church parlors on next Friday
afternoon at O'Clock to organize a
Junior Endeavor society of the children
between the ages of 6 and IL.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
will open their usual annual bazaar

Thinking few items from the camp

There are now about so men in camp at
present. Some Of them are making
money, some making fair wages, while a
great many are not making grub.
Among the few that are making
money may be mentioned the Ben
son brothers, who are working ak men
and two dry washers and are taking out
good pay, and the old veteran prospec-
tor, John S. Reed, and his partners are
working six men and two dry washers
and are doing well. There are several
others around the aforementioned par
ties who are doing fairly well among
them may be mentioned our district re-
corder, r. G. Willard and his father,
Frank Mecham and partners and

are making email wages, while there are

But more important discovery to
this camp and Southern California in
general, is the recent discovery, by A.
III. Hanson, of extensive coal fields in
the west part OF the district, and owned
by him and Jay P. Bergeron and F. @.
Burlingame, all of Los Angeles. They
have in their claim three well-defined
veins of anthracite coal. At depth OF
15 feet there shows a vein five feet wide
and is making coal fast. The formation
is sandstone and shale. The coal belt
is extensive, being about Is miles long
and abont miles wide, and 10 miles of
the belt have already located by j. p.

The Greys and the Redondos played
yesterday at the Athletic park, the
Greys proving too much for the fellow
men, winning by score of 10 to 5. The
Greys filled the bags with the first three
men up, when George Franck lined out
hot one, making home run. Then
the goose eggs piled up till the fifth inn
ing, when they started the ball rolling
again for six more runs. 1t would have
been shut out for the Greys if Heaps
had not made an error, letting in three
of the boys in blue. They succeeded in
getting two more men across the rubber
in that inning.
Farley, the captain of tho Redondos,
should be placed in team with Carroll,

wants to run the game or own the um-
