Bran and Oats.

Some one asked Prof. Henry recently
to give the feeding value of bran COM
pared with oats, and he replied as fol-
lows in the Breeders Gazette:
AN experiment in feeding oats VS.,
bran to dairy cows at this station bv
Prof. VOL showed about 10 per cent
in favor Of the oats. I think our farrl-
ers will find that for many purposes
bran is cheaper feed than oats at the
prices both usually command in. the
market. Oats are such a safe and sat
isfactory feed for horses that they
have come into general use for this
purpose and command a relatively
high price for the nrtriment they con-
tain. On the other hand, the manu-
1acture of flour is so large in some
centers that the by-product bran GOES
onto the market in enormous quantities
to be sold for what the market will
pay. At this station we feed bran and
oats mixed to our horses generally as
substitute for oats, finding the com
plnatlon cheaper feed. Our teams do
regular farm work with rarely an ami
III any way out Of condition. COM
panles employing numbers Of horses
Ior city purposes are coming to make
extensive use Of bran and shorts
While oats are the best allround feed
Tor horses, and are splendid feed for
dairy COWS, think in the West bran is
often the cheaper feed"

The Kind of Whisky They Sold in.
Leadville in Early Days.
AS three men were standing in front
of the bar of a Smithfield street saloon
yesterday, says the Pittsburg Dispatch,
one picked up the glass of whisky that
was placed before him and, tasting it,
made face that looked as if he had
taken poison. my, but that's rank

glass and wiped off his mouth with his
handkerchief. ''That's almost as bad
as the whisky we got out West during
the great gold and silver excitement.
[ remember in Leadville there was
wag kept saloon who did not try to
disguise the quality Of the liquor that
passed over his bar, but rather made
careful preparations for the effects
that he knew it would cause. 1t is
said that a tenderfoot once came in
and asked for a whisky He was

his surprise the bartender placed a
small Whisk broom by the side of the
bottle. OF course he was puzzled, but
he poured out his drink and drank it
slowly, unwilling. to, profess ignorance
in the ways Of the wild West and
thinking that some person might come
to his rescue: The door opened and he
saw a man who saved him. A big,
burly fellow, bristlings with revolvers
and bowie knives, stepped in the door
and, going UP to the bar, ordered a.
whisky in a voice that seemed to come
from somewhere below the, cellar. A.
bottle and glass were passed. to him,
and, as before, a whisk broom was
added to the lay out. The tenderfoot
watched the man carefully. He poured:
out a good-sized glassful, then, after
gulping it down, quietly picked up the
whisk broom and, going over to a.
corner. Of the room, brushed away the
sand from a portion of the. floor. He
then lay down and had fit. But, Of
course, all the whisky we got out there,
was not as bad as that:

To Get Rid of ROaches.

The persistent use of borax will keep
premises free from reaches or water
bugs, but everything must be kept
scrupulously clean. Dust the borax in
their haunts, particularly around the
sink, water pipes and boiler. Leave
it there until the next days sweeping.
Then put around fresh borax, using it
plentifully. Have no paper on the
closet shelves; wash the tops of doors
and windows with boiling suds, and
rub, when dry. with a cloth saturated
with kerosene. The bundle Of kindling
wood is a prolific source of water bugs
in the house. Each bundle before it
is carried in should be knocked violent
~ down on the cellar floor or yard
stones, while some one stands ready
with kettle Of boiling water to pre-
vent the escape of the bugs that run
from it, but by far the better way is
not to use it at all.

Hang it ALL" he thought, cts
time I was brought to my senses.
Evil tongues work good sometimes.
I've carried this liking for the wife Of
brother officer far enough. The
freedom we enjoy here, has proved a
snare, in my case. And yet,-con-
found their evil thoughts,-in spite of
her fondness for gaiety, she's devoted
to her husband and child, and I'd cut
off my hand sooner than syllable a
word of my feelings to her. I'll get
out of this tomorrow, and send in my
resignation. I'll take up with that

don't belong here. I wish I had made

He found no difficulty in getting
leave of absence for a few days. He
recalled the overheard gossip, sensi-
lively, as he went about his prepara-
tions. Lieutenant Palmer had gone
on leave of absence to visit his aged
father in New Hampshire. Lyons,
always on intimate visiting terms at
Mrs. Palmer's apartments, went there
more than ever, during Palmer's alb
sence. Flossie was much attached to
him. She was rather weakly, and
was the object of her mothers tender
est solicitude. Every day, Lyons was
TO be seen, in the handsomest turnout
he afforded himself, with Mrs. Palmer
and Flossie, out for an airing. Of
course, comment was to be expected,
at the fort, but Lyons was quite I'M
prepared for the malicious remarks
that met his ear accidentally. He
knew he was no favorite, that the
officers called him foppish, because he
had the means to indulge tastes and
fancies that they were forced to sup
press, and that he was considered a
firt among the ladies, but all this was
trifling, compared with hearing his
name linked with that of his friends
wife, in dishonorable fashion.
He decided to slip away without
goodbye, without even sending a
aote. Too many notes had passed the
last few weeks. He knew now that
every movement was watched, that
prying servants had become suspicious
and the consciousness of his own sem
"timents, which must be carefully re-
pressed, made him more keenly sensi-
tive. He would write frank, open
letter from New York, and offer his
excuses
But his conscientiously laid scheme
was to be frustrated. He took his
