The report and statement of said city
tax and license collector, together with
the delinquent books, were by your hon
orable body referred to this committee.
We have carefully compared and
checked the amounts as set forth in said
report with said assessment roll and aud
itor's books, and beg to report that we
find the amount of said city tax and Ii
cense collector correct. and that the sum
OF money for which the city tax and Ii
cense collector asks credit has been paid
into the city treasury and nas already
been credited to his account on the audi
tors books.
We, therefore, recommend that the city
auditor be directed to charge the city tax
and license collector with the SUN of
1873 for advertising fees, and the sum of
S247.96 on account of 8 per cent penalty
on second half of taxes, and that thereaf-
ter he be instructed to credit the city tax
and license collector upon his books with
the following sums: Amount of sales to
the city, $3.312.05; double assessments,
1924.
And we further recommend that his
accounts for the collection OF said delin-
quent taxes be considered as finally set
tied and said report filed. The above

Concerning New Zee Il.

New feeds are continually being put
upon the market, and the farmer and
dairyman should be little cautious
about taking up with them. Gener-
ally wonderful things are claimed for
them, and the buyer is led to believe
that he can obtain results that will
justify him in paying a pretty price for
the feed. He is made to believe that
this price is far below the market
value of the product. Such represen-
tations are nearly always falsehoods,
pure and simple. There are doubtless
no better feeds than those the farmers
already know and have used. On this
page we print q communication from
the Pennsylvania experiment station
on the value of new feed called "cot-
ton seed feed" We do not know how
much the projectors claim for it, but
unless the claims were above its true
value there would appear little chance
of it selling at the price named. AS
will be seen by reading the article in
question, the station sets its value be-
low that of some of our common feeds,
though it costs much more.

The Relationships.

There are some ODD Names for game
birds far down tho Chesapeake. A
small, shy snipe that flies with twit-
tering noiso is called the horsefoot
snipe, because OF its fondness for the
horsefoot or horseshoe crab. 1t is
called also the turnstone, from its
habit of overturning pebbles in search
of food. Tho telltale snipe bears that
name because it always sounds note
of alarm ut the sight of gunner.
Chesapeake gunners believe that a
single tolltale can clear whole region
OF game birds. The widgeon is To-
cally called the bald pate, and the
willet is so called because of its cry,
will-willet!"

BURYINe APPLIES FOR WNran. The
following plan has been found to an
swer the purpose: Most cellars are
too warm to keep fruit WELL They
are also subject to frequent changes
of temperature, in which the fruit
suffers almost as much as it does by
being kept too warm. We have known
farmers to put apples in pits as pota-
toes and roots are pitted, spreading
layer of straw over them to keep them
from contact with the earth. Such
apples come out with very little loss in
spring, where care is taken that none
which are specked were put up in the
fall. One specked fruit will spread
to adjoining apples and infect them.
1t is well to put boards over the heap
to shed most OF the rain. If 1t is wet
enough to wash through the soil to the
fruit it will be injured and it's flavor
will be affected unfavorably.-Rurn!

A New Feed Tested.

The Pennsylvania experiment station
reports on a new feed as follows:
Within the past year, new feeding
stuff called "cotton seed feed" has
been quite extensively advertised in
this and other states This feed pur-
ports to be a mixture of one part of
cotton seed meal and five parts of cot
ton hulls by weight, and is sold in car
lots at Sll.50 per ton in bulk. 1t Is
specially recommended for fattening
purposes but it is also claimed to give
good results in the production of milk
and butter. In bulletin now in press,
the experiment station gives the de-
tails of some experiments carried out
to test the value of this feed. The
feed has been examined as to its
actual feeding value for dairy cows.
The results of these experiments
were in brief as follows: The chemi-
cal composition was found, on
the whole, to correspond very well
to the composition claimed for the
feed. It's indigestibility was compara-
lively low, the total amount of digest
ible food present in the feed being
somewhat less than in clover or tim
othy hay, and somewhat greater than
that found in good corn fodder, al
though the proportion of protein is
considerably higher than that in either
corn fodder or timothy. At the price
named, pound of digestible food in
the cotton seed feed was found to cost
about "a per cent more than in timothy
or clover hay and 20 per cent more
than in corn. Two experiments were
made with dairy cows to test its vciue
as feed for milk and butter. In
the first experiment n ration of cotton
seed feed and bran produced is per
cent less milk and 10 per cent less but
ter than one of corn fodder, mixed hay,
corn meal, and cotton seed meal con-
tanning the same amount OF dry mat
ter. The estimated net profit per COW
per day was II per cent less on the
cotton seed feed ration than on the
hay and fodder ration. In the second
experiment, ration of cotton seed
feed, bran and Buffalo gluten
meal produced 10 per cent
leSS mix anu per CSut iSSS
butter than a ration of clover hay,
corn meal, bran. and Buffalo gluten
meal containing "a pounds more grain
and * of pound more coarse fodder.
The net profit per day and head, in this
case, was per cent less on the clover
hay ration than on the cotton seed feed
ration, but it is probable that the cows
on the clover hay ration were some
what overfed. The general conclu-
sion drawn from these investigations is
that cotton seed feed is too expensive
in proportion 20 the amount of food
which it contains to successfully COM
pete, on equal terms, with ordinary
dairy feeds at average prices.
An incidental result of the expert
ments is to illustrate the possibilities
of profit in dairying. The net profits
above the estimated cost of feed and
care in these experiments ranged from
n to 81 per cent of the cost of the feed.
While there are other elements of ex-
pense in dairying which are not in
cluded in these estimates, the results
nevertheless make very good show
ing for the profits of dairying, and
particularly of butter production.
