Bran as Stock Food.

Waldo +. Brown in the National Stock
man aid Farmer says he has found no one
poins harder to educate farmers up to than
the value of bran as stock food. He
finds, however, that with bran as With corn
fodder, If you can get farmer to feed
either of them for single season he is a
convert and ever after understands their
value. Those who have experimental the
most carefully with bran not only under
stand its value for growing animals and as
milk producer, but go further and boldly
assert that it is the best and cheapest fat
tener for live stock, and this his been
proved by numerous experiments. t..
Mr.. Brown thinks one reason why farm
ers do not feed more bran is because they
have no place to store it in quantity, and
when bought as needed, ton or so at once,
the price is usually much higher than if a
stock is laid in in the summer when the
stock is large and the demand is less. He
has done this for many years, and the least
saving in price has been 50 ton, and one
year he saved $40 a ton by summer buying.
He makes large store room for it over his
barn floor, up under the roof, in space that
was not utilized before. The sacks Of bran are
light, and one man standing on the wagon
can hand them up to another in the bin, or
they can be drawn up with the hay fork
pulley, several sacks at once. ,-...
We as farmers are too much inclined to
feed what we happen to have, without
studying economy of rations or the health
of our stock, but we can often save money
by selling our corn and buying other food.

several OF them assemble, each wearing d

u, and each girl drops her ring in careful
~ seirring up the corn the while. Then a
hungry hen Is introduced, and whichever
maiden's ring Is first discovered will be
that OF the first one to be married.
In the marshes of the North sea coast it
was formerly customary in Germany for
the bridegroom to give the bride on the
day OF betrothal. instead of a ring, a yalu-
able coin, called ''echle," or genuine, as
q pledge that the compact between them
was binding. This is also remnant of
the time when wives We're acquired by
right of purchase, and the custom is still
prevalent in some isolated places
I Among un-C hristianized nations be-
trothal rings are unknown. For example,
Mohammedan, instead of giving his bride
q ring, bestows on her 'maschkass," or
square amulet of pure gold, which the girl
hangs around her neck. In India a small
amulet is worn by a woman as a badge of
marriage. 1t generally consists of many
colored beads and is about as large round
as bracelet, but there must be some gold
In it, however little. An amulet ring of
the fifteenth century, discovered some so
years ago in England, was supposed to
guarantee its wearer against all evil. In the
middle is the figure Of Christ, with the
five holy wounds, from which ooze drops
OF blood. The surrounding inscriptions
are, The well of everlasting life,' The
well Of pity" THE well of mercy" 1.-THE
well of comfort, !" 1.-The well OF grace
Among the Anglo-Saxons the ring was
worn only by the bride or wife, on whose
right hand it was placed at the betrothal,
being transferred to the left hand at the
marriage ceremony. The ring adorned
with deaths heads is masterpiece of the
Italian goldsmith's art in the sixteenth
century. and County.
