The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe: nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office Of the Electric Company and said:
give me figures for wiring my house, and |
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire TO the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment Of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what You want.

Queer Sunday Laws Of 1881 That still
GnYrrn EngInnh'n Lord. Day.

Oueer Sunday Laws of 1881 That stili
Govern England's Lords Day.
The introduction Of the Sunday bill
By Lord Hobhouse brings up the fact
that we are governed in respect 20 sun
day observations by an act Of the year
1881.
II seems that Sunday lecture can al
ways be made the subject Of prosecution.
Some time ago Sunday lecturer at
Leeds was actually sacrilegious enough
10 make his audience laugh The pro-
prietor Of the lecture hall was thereupon
prosecuted for keeping disOrderly
house.
Music can now be given in the open
air on Sunday, but If IL Is given in a
room nothing must be charged for
chairs. In other words, 1t will be posi-
bic for any body Of men and women 10
run Sunday concerts and Sunday lee
lures with the view Of making them pay
expenses, but not for their own profit.
In the years 1900 and 1901 one Eus-
tace, abbot Of Flaye, preached through
ont England the observance Of the Lords
day. He enjoined that no kind Of work
should be done after the ninth hour ON
Saturday until sunrise on Monday.
According 70 the manner Of the times
his preaching was backed up by mira
cles. At Beverly Il carpenter persisting
in finishing wedge after the ninth
hour fell down III paralysis. In the same
town woman went on with her weav-
ing after the ninth hour. Result, par
alysiS. with loss Of voice.
At Rafferton man made loaf and
baked it on Saturday evening When he
broke it on Sunday morning, blood start
ed from it. At Wakefield a miller,
grinding after hours, ground out blood
instead Of -four.
In Lincolnshire woman made loaf
and put it in the oven. 1t remained
dough- In the same county pious
woman, finding it was the ninth hour,
set aside her loaves. Lo! On Sunday
morning the loaves were beautifully
baked without any fire at all
Aud yet, tho chronicler adds, in spite
Of these miracles the people have re-
turned to the holding Of markets on the

FEEDING PIGS.
CORN MEAL AND GLUTEN GAVE BETTER
RESULTS THAN GROUND WHEAT.

On account Of the extremely low
price OF wheat for the past year great
deal more has been fed 10 stock than
usual. and by men who have had little or
no experience in feeding IL. ln the feed
ing Of wheat as in every other new de-
parture, the lack of facts and reliable
data concerning the results of previous
work in this line frequently hindered
those who had wheat 10 feed from OBJ
tanning the best results under the cir
cumstsnces.
Particularly was a comparison OF the
most common foods needed 10 help those
10 compound ration who have little
knowledge of the chemical composition
of feeding stufis.
Until quite recently, comparatively
few experiments have been made TO de-
termine the feeding value of wheat be-
cause the price for Touring purposes
prevented its use as food for animals
In a practical way. Now, however,
many farmers who raise wheat are con-
fronted with the problem, "Cau | afford

food for stock:

ton with grain, should determine large
ly whether wheat Is the most economical
of the concentrated foods TO feed with II,
but aside from this the question OF sell
ing wheat and buying corn meal, oats and
bran has been one not easy 10 solve oy
those confronted with il.
The New York experiment station
studied this question. la order to make
a comparative test of the value OF the
wheat product with that of corn as
food for pigs, the food was so mixed
that the grain of each kind had the same
chemical composition, so far as the
nutri,iye ratio was concerned.
It was found by mixing 26 pounds OF
gluten feed with 100 pounds of corn meal
that the nutritive ratio OF the mixture
was practically the same as that OF
wheat. This mixture was fed TO one io'
of pigs and ground wheat TO another
Each lot received equal amounts OF SKIN
milk.
Corn meal and gluten gave the great
est growth and produced cheaper porl
than ground wheat.
Corn meal and meat scrap produced
somewhat larger proportion of lean meal
than did corn meal.
The corn meal and gluten lot had
better appetite and consumed more 1000
than did the lot fed ground wheat.
The corn meal lot consumed the ieas
food and made the least growth.
Corn meal and meat scrap produced
the largest proportion Of lean meat, bu
not enough more TO make it commensur

The Birds, Service to Men.

Before many years have passed the
legislatures Of our states and nation
will be forced To some action on the
needless destruction Of birds. The robins
and bluebirds and wrens and the hun
dreds Of glad little singers Of the woods
and fields have been driven away not
merely from the cities, which they used
to inhabit, but from the villages on the
outskirts, and in some cases from even
the isolated hamlets The increase III
insect pests within two or three years
betokens grave danger, and the cheap
est and surest way 70 meet it Is to stop
killing the birds and let them return and
dine upon the moths and caterpillars
and the rest of the evil tribe that strip
our trees and gardens twill take many
years, at best, to restore them in such
numbers as they could be reckoned by q
dozen or 90 years ago, but people by
ceasing to be sportsmen, or at least by
ceasing 10 kill the birds that are of no
use as food, can bring good times back.

When she had vanished from his sight,
he realized that crisis had come In his

WEED OUT POOR COWS.
DO NOT BLINDLY FOLLOW THE TEACH
INGs oF THE BARCoCK TESTER.

We are frequently admonished TO eull
out the poor cows by weighing the milk
and testing il, discsrding those that do
not show by the scales and the test that
they are profitable in the dairy. This is
well enough as far as Il goes, says Prof.
Haecker of the Minnesota experiment
station, for the scales and test will tell
Us what the COW is doing at that partic-
lar time. But they are silent as 10 what
she Is capable of doing and NAV do at
some future time. BY blindly following
the decision so made we might and
probably should condemn many valuable
cows, aud retain some that subsequently
would DC found wanting.
In the selection of COW for the dairy
there are three points 10 be settled.
First, will she convert her feed into flesh
or milk second, feeding capacity third.
quality of her milk. First, il her nerv-
Gus temperament Is strong and highly
developed. she will have long face,
thin long neck, spine aud rump promi-
nent. In short, she will be spare and
angular in proportion 10 the develop
ment OF this temperament, and by regu-
lar aud careful milking no amount of
feed will make her lay on flesh. IL the
vital temperament predominant, she will
have comparatively short face, short,
stOcky neck, full crops aud thighs,
hooks. chine and loin well rounded, and
be the milking never 80 carefully and
regularly done. she will convert much
Of her feed into flesh, and this is not de-
sirable for the dairy. Second, her feed
ing capacity Is measured by the depth of
the barrel. She may be copstituti0nally
spare, hut lacking large digestive capac-
itv, she will take small amount OF feed
only, over and above the food of support,
and so make the cost of production rela-
tivelv high.
While the two points above practically
settle the value Of a COW, tor the dairy,
vet We should avail ourselves OF every
oppOrtunity afforded 20 Judge Of her
comparative value. IL she has large
digestive capacity and does not convert
her food into flesh she must convert il
into milk: il the milk has small per-
centage Of fat she will make up in guam
titv what l. lacking In quality, or II less
in quantity il will be richer in fat; In
either case the total fat snd other solids
will be. relatively, the same.
The Babcock test has most etlectually
exploded the old notions as 10 color OF
skin, color OF milk, unctious feeling of
coat and skin. Even the yellow deposit;
In the ears has come 10 nSught. But the
Babcock test does tell one that the COW
with the meaty udder gives, compare
tivelv, richer milk than the one contain
ing less tissue. A Jersey cow with an
udder that milks down like an empty
glove, gives about per cent fat, while
one with meaty udder gives milk con-
six per cent fat. \ HolsteiD IN
the same herd, with an udder that never
milks down gives per cent fSt, while
another milks down aud gives two and
twO-tenths per cent tat. 80 by taking
into account the breed We can estimate
with a fair degree Of certainty the rela-
tive richness Of the milk BY the conforma-
tiou and consistency of the udder.-New
