ENSlLAGE FOR LAMBS.

Result OF Experiments Conducted Mt the
Cornell University Station.
The experiment stations connected
with the agricultural colleges accom-
plish something in the line of research
by the careful tests on grain growing
and in the feeding of animals The ex-
pertinent station of Cornell university
reports in bulletin Al an interesting ex-
pertinent in the feeding of corn cnsilase
to lambs The lambs were grade Shrop-
shire, about eight months old, and
were fed in two lots of five lambs each.
the experiment continuing from De-
cember to April 81. Each lot received
n grain ration composed of one part lin
seed meal, two parts cottonseed meal
and four parts bran, by weight, OF which
mixture each lot received practically
the same quantity, 673 pounds, or 49,
pounds per lamb during the twenty
weeks of the experiment.
In addition to this ration, one lot re
ceived 905 pounds of hay during the
test, while the other lot had COG pounds
of hay and 1,166 pounds of corn ensii-
age The grain was practically the
same in both lots, averaging % pounds
per lamb, the average weight being 1913
pounds at the beginning and So pounds
at the end of the test. The ensilage,
therefore, took the place of 800 pounds
of hay, or about four pounds OF ensil-
age equaled one pound of hay. II the
hay were worth $40 per ton the ensil-
age would therefore be worth two
and one-half dollars per ton The lot
fed on dried food consumed more water
than the one fed on ensilage; but when
allowance is made for the water in the
food it is found that the ensilage fed
lot consumed considerably more water
than the lot on dry food.

THE INDIANS SUGAR.


How 1t Was Extracted from the Trees In
Vermont.
Ever since the Indians in the section
now known as Fletcher discovered
''honey' in the maple trees, that dis
trict has been known far and wide as
the heart of the Vermont maple sugar
country. The way the red man ex-
tracted the delicious compound was
somewhat slow as compared with the
present process. He used to cut a
slanting cash in the bark and insert in
the lower end gauge-shaped piece OF
wood, from which the sap ran and
dropped into a poplar or basswood
trough. At the end of the season these
troughs would be set up against the
trees and left until the following sea-
son, by which time the troughs would
be thoroughly mildewed. This ma
terially added to the flavor of the abb
original sugar, but can hardly be said
to have improved 1t. The evaporation
of those times consisted of an iron ket-
tie swung from sapling bent over a
stump. BY slow and tedious process
the sap was first heated and then
boiled in this kettle, often taking two
or three days boiling before it could
be sugared off. This was the way in
which the redskins and the early Yer
monitors eled out ''sweetnin'" to
their tea and johnny cake.
In the best Fletcher groves of to-day
a long pipe or trough line runs from
some central spot in the grove down
to the big storage tanks in the sugar
house. Here the perfected evaporation

THE BOWER BIRD.
oae OF the Queer Denixeas of Australia's
Forests.

Forests.
The most remarkable instance of
estheticism among the birds is that
exhibited by the Australian bower
birds, who build long galleries in
which to play, adorning them with
shells, feathers, leaves, bones or any
colored or glittering object which
comes in their way. Capt. Stokes de-
scribes one of these bower birds as
taking a shell alternately from each
side of the bower and carrying it
through in its beak.
Lumholz describes several of these
playhouses of the bower birds. He
says they are always to be found Gin
small brushwood, never in the open
field; and in their immediate vicinity
the birds collect mass OF different
kinds of objects, especially snail shells,
which are laid in two heaps, one at
each entrance-the one being much
larger than the other. There are fire.
quently hundreds of shells, about three
hundred in one heap and thirty in the
other. There is usually handful of
green berries, partly inside and partly
outside the bower"
LII his DOOh.
Cannibals,h Lumholz describes play
ground of what would appear to be
different species of the bird, showing
even a greater esthetic taste. He says:
''On the top of the mountain l heard
in the dense scrubs the loud and un-
ceasing voice of bird. | carefully APP
preached it, sat on tha- ground r.-.s
shot it. 1t was one of the bower birds,
with gray and very modest plumage
and of the size of a thrush. As /
picked up the bird my attention was
drawn to a fresh covering of green
leaves on the black soil This was the
birds place of amusement, which, be-
meath the dense scrubs, formed a
square yard each way, the ground
having been cleared of leaves and rub
bish.
son this neatly-cleared spot the bird
had laid large, fresh leaves, one by the
side of the other, with considerable
regularity, and close by he sat singing,
apparently extremely happy over his
work. As soon as the leaves decay
thev are replaced by new ones''

A Deceptive Name.

A Philadelphian and his wife We're
dropped one hot summer day at the
tiny post village of Mount Pleasant,
on the Delaware railroad, and as they
gazed over fiat country, whose differ
ences of level are scarcely perceptible
save by the aid of a surveyors instru-
ment, native asked them what they
were looking for. Then the Philadel-
phian explained that the name of the
place had called up such visions of an
airy eminence that he and his wife had
come down to spend their vacation.
They learned from the native that
summer board was not obtainable
there, and he obligingly explained
that the place received its deceptive
name in commemoration of the fact
that it was situated ON the watershed
between Delaware and Chesapeake
bays, the backbone of the peninsula,
as it is locally called.

A Voice from the Dead.

A bapgageman on a midnight train,
while taking on board the usual load
of freight and baggage, placed to one
side a parrot cage. Further up the
line, at a small station, he took on
board corpse, and, as the next stop
ping place was long distance, the
baggageman, in order to be comforta-
BILE for the ride, stretched himself at
full length on the coffin. He had not
ridden far when to his great horror he
heard issuing, as he supposed from the
coffin, these words: Let me out" The
baggageman Immediately made up his
mind to get out, but was stopped at the
end of the car by the mail agent They
decided to investigate the matter, and
while thus engaged again heard; Let
me out!' in decided tone. They deter
mined to open the coffin and liberate
the corpse. when, to their great sur
prise, they heard the same voice ex.

'Ba bel had started the other way. when
grandma came innocently into sight
Her red shawl and nodding head at once
excited Babel anew.
''She was under that first maple, I"
said Susy, ''and he was paving and
putting down his head, getting ready
to run at her, when ! thought of my

the cart great push. Oh, Epen, wasn't

the door and piled up things against it,

out and see him tear it to pieces

it was about her-and oh, do you think
it was very wicked of me to care SO
much for lily when it saved Grand

The poor child hid her face and burst
into n fresh agony cf sobs.
You can imagine how she was COM
forted by the big bro ther. He prom
ised her the finest bulb that could be
found in Concord as he carried her up
to Cynthy's. Grandma ordway walked

There was no fair for any of them
that day, for Susy kept trembling and
laughing and crying so that Cynthia
put her on the bed beside grandma, in
a cool, dark room, and gave each of
them a cupful of hot camomile tea, af-
ter which they slept profoundly and
woke in good order.
Eben, meanwhile, went to Capt.
Banks place and chained up Lord Corn
wallis, who was found lying down with
one eve closed. Eben did the same by
Zerubbabel, now too much subdued to
offer any resistance.
He spent the remainder of daylight
in repairing fences. A heavy rain that
night broke up the drought and washed
away most traces of the battle at the
bridge, but when next morning Eben
and Cynthy and Susy, all happy now,
drove over it on their way to the cattle
show at last, they espied among soaked
bits of red petals and green leaves a
shining brass ball from 'Babers horn.
Eben gave it to his sister as memento
of her adventure.-Laura ID. Nichols, in

DIAGONAL NARROWING.
The Proper Way of Treating SQUARE
Field After Flowing.

The Proper Way of Treating Square
Field After Flowing.
When nearly square field is to be
i4...rowed after it Is entirely piowed,
the work may be efficiently done by
diagonal narrowing. (See illustration).
This is specially adapted to working up
sod or any ground that it is necessary
to drag crosswise of the furrow. Enough
time and labor are lost in turning
around to amount to a good deal in
a days narrowing. If we begin on the
diagram at a, working parallel to bd
and letting the heavy lines represent
the path of the harrow, it is evident
that at least fourteen turns will be nee
essary in going once over the ground,
or twenty-eight in twice over; also that
after the line bd is passed, we come to
the fence at an acute angle, making it
necessary to turn before driving to the
fence, or else to make almost the COM
plete circuit of three hundred and sixty
degrees and turn to the right, or back
upon the narrowed ground With the
above method the harrow is started at

a up the heavy line to c. The rest OF
the course may be best followed by
tracing up the heavy line on the dia-
gram. With but fifteen complete turns
the ground is narrowed twice and the
fence always approached at an obtuse
angle; so the harrow may be driven to
the very edge and still leave room to
turn. OF course with harrow of ordi-
nary width the central line would be
much more nearly parallel to d6 than
appears on the diagram, the variation
not being noticeable in practical work.
