Corn aud Cob Meat.

The result OF several years experience
with feeding corn and cob meal 10 con
nection with other grains TO animals OF all
kinds. has been very satisfactory. We
feed it to horses 10 winter, with equal
parts by measure OF wheat bran and
ground oats. To milch cows it is fed with
wheat bran alone sometimes, or with oats
barley. middlings, etc Latterly however
we have fed only gluten meal and the
bran, because it seemed h better and .
cheeper feed for the production OF milk
We feed the corn aud cob meal to pigs
mixed with bran and other grams, and 10
fact to everything upon the farm which
requires corn meal IN any form
The point ] wish to show is that there is
advantage in feeding the cobs. Very
many farmers hesitate about feeding the
corn and cob meal, as the impression seems
to be that it is Injurious to the stomacbs
and intestines of the animals eating it,
Our experience Is that there is 20 founds
ton fer this; on he contrary, the cots
when ground with the corn give 1t
lighter weight, more bulk being sdGed,
so that the danger OF the stomach becom
ing impscted or the animal coyed is done
away entirely.
SO confident do we feel OF the advst tsge
OF this way OF grinding the corn that OF
the twelve hundred or more tushels OF
corn fed upon our farm each year, oily
that which is fed to finish fl the fstleLing
hogs for q few weeks before selling Is
upground. The rect is ell ground and fed
cob aud all
/ m Ike DO claim OF great value for the
obs themselves. This should not be sup
posed. But that they do contain some
value is without question. as the expert
meuts of the various stations for the pur
pose Of sscertsining this give ii as fact.
1t is by feeding in connection with other
things, particularly corumesl, that the
full value Is realized.
Now this xperience-sctusl practice
bias convinced us that any person who
feeds cornmesl and throws away the cobS |
does not realize the loss sustained. 1t
may not be very great, but it cerlsi1ly |
would am nut 10 enough to pay cost Of
grinding, aud probably more.

CATtLINA'S PIGEON POST.
Probably the Only Regular Feather
ed Mail service in This Country.

(San Francisco Chronicle)
So far as | can learn the only regular
pigeon post service on this side Of the
continent or the other is that which bears
messages every day in the summer season
between Los Angeles and the little town
OF Avalon. on Catalina Island, and bears
them al speed which can bp beaten
only By the telegraph or telephone.
The steamers run once a day between
island and mainland. and once IL has cast
loose from the wharf the island. with
summer population az perhaps several
thousand. is az compl teiy cut off from
the world as though Is were in mid-Ocean.
and yet the shore is scant twenty miles
away. The demand for some additional
service grew. often there were men of
affairs among the visitors. and they We're
not infrequently sore distressed 10 find
means OF communication. / remember
hearing one hnancer declare. "Pd give
500 gladly 10 get dispatch to Los An
geles: IL would be worth 5000 to me

II remained for two young men OF Los
Angeles. otto and oswald Zahn. 10 re-
licve the island visitors and residents
from their embarra ssing ISOLATION. This
was accomplished by the establishment
OF a carrier-pigcOn post between Avalon
and Los Angeles. The Service WAS in
augurated last summer, and conducted for
several weeks with uuequivocal success.
u was feared at first that the pigeons.
which are distnctively land birds"
might hesitate TO fly across so large
body of water; but, as far as known.
there need have been no cause for anxiety
on this point The message bearers
usually started without delay. arriving
at their destination with a certainty and
promptness almost incredible. The air
line distant from Avalon 90 Los Angeles
is about fifty miles. This was accom-
pl,shcd by some OF the Catalina flyers i'm
