IMPROVED RATIoNs.
Result OF Valuable Experiments al the
Massachusetts Station.

Result of Valuable Experiments al Tho
Massachusetts, Station.
The American Dairyman summarizes
experiments Of the Massachusetts sta
ton in regard to dairy rations. II
says that the ration fed by many Mass
achusetts farmers as given by the re-
port consists of $50 pounds of wheat
bran, the same quantity of corn meal,
four pounds corn slower and 43. so
pounds corn ensilage. The nutritive
ratio of such ration is Ito and it's
cost 14.99 cents, while 5.S4 cents is ac-
corded to it as its material value, MAX
ing the net cost 9.15 cents. The total
milk yield of six cows for ii days on
this ration was 1861 quarts, alta to-
tai cost OF Lee cents per quart, while
the net cost per quart was 1.03 cents.
The amount Of butter fat in this guam
tity of milk was 67.31 pounds and its
cost per pound was 1857 cents. The
ration recommended by the station to
take the place of the one just noted.
which it may be stated contains only
Lao pounds of digestible protein, con-
sists of three pounds of wheat bran,
three pounds Of Buffalo gluten feed,
three pounds cottonseed meal, four
pounds corn slower and 42.7s pounds
ensilage. This ration contains $50
pounds of digestible protein, and it's
nutritive ratio is 1.4S. Its total cost is
1895 cents, which is reduced to
7.46 cents as tho net cost, be-
cause it gives a richer manure, and
this is credited at s.46 cents. In the
returns of Six cows fed this ration for
IA days, they are credited with s37. So
quarts of milk at gross cost of 1.6O
cents per quart, and the net cost OFT
cent per quart. The quantity of but
ter fat obtained from the milk in this
instance was 49, II pounds at cost of
49, 30 cents per pound. The point about
this experiment is that the same cows
were used in both trials for CORE
spending periods of time, and it is
within the limits of reason able conjec-
ture that the result of the second RAJ
ton would have been greater if some
part of it was not diverted to repair
the physical waste due to the poor
nourishment present in the first ration.
Some Of the things gained in using the
second ration was an increase of 81
quarts of milk over the quantity OBJ
tainable by the first one and the aggre-
gate yield was produced at less cost.
Again, the increase of butter fat with
the better ration is 1870 pounds and
the cost Of production is decreased 2.37
cents per pound as contrasted with the
same item in the account of the first
ration. Another point that should not
be overlooked is that the ration that
furnished the best returns actually
cost less to feed. In other words, de-
creased cost of production furnished
richer ration that produced a larger
yield of milk, that was of higher quail
ity.

John Sampson was sitting in the door
way reading away for dear life. So
she went forth and told the news all
over Pentreath, and there was no end
to talk and wonder.
Mother was pleased enough to have
matters as they were for time. How
ever, after bit, she thought twas a
pity the old man shouldn't go further,
having begun so well. So one Sunday
morning, when he took up the Bible
and was going out to sit on the little
seat that stood against the front of the
house, she spoke.
'Wouldn' ZEE like to come to chapel,
-John?' she said.
HE looked back with curious bit
of smile on his face.
mo he said, I'D rather stop here
and read the Bible
s.'Well,' said mother, I suppose you
do know what's best for 'ee.'
Every soon John Sampson went into
town one Saturday by Jimmie Hayle's
van, and brought backa fat red book,
which turned out to be Evolutionary.
After that he always had the two

O. one family. He put two in his
drawer, and went through the other in
the usual way, turning aside contin,
ually to hunt for something in the die
tionary that he never seemed to find.
II was a young man by this time,
and working in the same pare with
him at Wheel Dream. Twas common
practice for some of the young men to
laugh at him about his Bible reading,
but they couldn' do so very openly, for
the elder men wouldn't hear of it.
"'Perhaps he is mazed,' said one Of
them. But 'twould be good thing
for Pentreath if the whole of you was
touched with the same Madness
''Now, can zee guess what he read the
Bible for? No need to answer, for you
wouldn't be right if you guessed till
Doomsday. Nor did anyone in Pen
treath ever dream of what had worked
the change until John Sampson died
suddenly, when he was about halfway
through the third of his Bibles. Of
course, they. searched his drawers and
so on. And at last they found an
old pocketbook. In it was piece cut
out of the All Sorts column of the
Argus:
" Anyone who discovers a printers
mistake in a copy of the Bible is en-
titled to receive reward of one guinea
Mother was very much surprised to
find how much the old mans savings
amounted to; twas plain he must have
been miser. And, knowing that, she
coudn' misunderstood the meaning Of
that bit of newspaper. John had read
the Scriptures daily for years past in
the hope of finding mistake in the
spelling of it, and earning guinea.
Whether he would have got it, can't
say; for he certainly never found a
mistake. And yet I could never get
mother to own up that all that read
ing of the Scriptures wouldn' stand to
his credit for so much as a halfpenny,
being undertaken in wrong spirit"

fectuallooking whip at the pony.

reading and turn over the leaves OF his
dictionary like q man hunting for
something. But he never seerned to
find it--whatever it might be. And
presently he finished the last chapter
of Revelation, and shut up the book
with the air of a man come to the end
of long job and not too well pleased
with what he'd done. He laid it down
upon the table.
"'I suppose you haven't got another
Bible in the house?' he said. i should
like to get the loan of it If you have
"'Why, man. said mother, isn't
your own Bible, that gave zee, good
enough, for zee? What difference is
there between one Bible and another?'

should like to get the loan Of it.
"Well, mother was only too glad to
have the old man read the Bible at all.
She humored him and fetched out the
great big family Bible. And he be-
gan again at Genesis and went right
ON to Revelation. He still kept the
dictionary by him as he read, and
would still turn away from his reading
about once in ten minutes to hunt in
that dictionary for something he never
seemed to find. More than once mother
limited about his going to chapel, but
his answer was always the same. NO.
he would say, I'd rather stop al home
and read the Bible
'And when he came to the end of
the family Bible a strange story be-
gan to be told about him. For he
went forth and borrowed another BIZ
BILE and commenced again at Genesis.
At the end of year he had come to
Revelation again, and then he went
and borrowed another Bible. 'Twould
be a bold thing to say a man was
touched in the head and gone totelish
because he was all the time reading
the Scriptures. But what puzzled
everyone was that John Sampson
should never be willing to read the
same copy of the Book more than
once.
SAT last, after much talk upon the
subject, everyone was convinced that
he really was little bit dotty; for a
man came into Pentreath selling cheap
Bibles, and John bought three copies,

thrifty farmer, though it is very busy

sod and clay have been plowed out of

scraped up to make the road. The

way know better than to walk in
these heaps while the other side of the

So does everybody. How, then. are

soil. As soon as harvest time is over that

Potntoea IA rood FOR cattle.

M. Anne Girard, OF Falsanderie
France. has communicated anothe,
memoir to the Acadmie des Sciences
Paris, on his experiments with pota
toes as forage for cattle, from which
it appears that the tubers are first
rate food, whether from the point Of
view of fattening or the yield of milk
and butter. Sheep and oxen throve
much better on potatoes and hay than
on their ordinary food, and their flesh
was found to be superior in quality.

agriculturalists, especially those Of
granite lands, where forage is poor.

John Sampson. G'wan, Jess!'
He shook up the reins and awslteo
the question which he knew would no
be long delayed.
''Who was old John Sampson?"
asked.
Another of the many people knew
before you came into these parts, was
the answer. "Wheal Dream had not
been stopped in those days, and John
Sampson came from over to Tallywarn
to work there, and took lodgings with
mother, for she was widow, and hard
pushed to find food and home for a
family of young children"
'And he did not read his Bible very
wisely?" persisted.
Sam1 chuckled. "He didn't read it at
all first going away" he answered.
''Mother was a woman of some con-
science; she used to wonder whether 1t
wadn' laid upon her to turn him to
doors and starve, rather than have such
q man under Christian roof. be-
lieve he was sober enough and no great
swearer. Indeed, so far as l can re-
member him, he was man that hardly
ever talked about anything. But he
never went to chapel, nor even to
church, all the time he was lodging wi
mother. He used to spend Sundays out
upon the moors in good weather, and
when it rained he would sit smoking in
a little shed where the donkey-cart
was kept. If he was by when mother
prayed before sending us off to bed he
would go outside and sit on:the garden
wall with his pipe in his mouth. I've
known her pull down the window and
pray almost in a shout, on the chance
that some word in season might strike
him like javelin and bring him to a
proper frame of mind.
''He stopped in Pentreath for some
years, and twas always the same with
him. Then one day he came into the
kitchen with very strange look upon
his face. Begin your pardon, Mis-
Quincy he said, but could zee give
me the loan of Bible?'

was growing big boy by this time.
"A Bible? she said. 'Thee's want a

Sampson stuck to that Bible like

reading it. Mother noticed that he

straight through, genealogies and all;

ways thorough herself.

Kamehameha Boys and Girls Made
Merry Last Evening.
The annual class dinner at Ka-
mehameha school was held We'd
nesday evening in the large dining
hall of the boys school. The gath
ering included pupils from all de-
partments of the school, teachers,
members Of the alumni and trus-
tees of the school.
The hall was beautifully decor
ated for the occasion with festoons
of MALE and cut flowers. On the
walls near the head tables were the
banners of the classes of 81 and '95
draped with the class colors. The
graduating class occupied a special
table on which was a beautiful
centerpiece of msgnolias, and about
the plates were red and purple
flowers typical of the class colors.
The discussion of edibles had
not progressed far when members
of the alumni started class songs
and class yells which were heartily
encored by the graduates. The
literary exercises were carried out
under the able direction Of Fred
Beckley, president of the alumni
association, and included inter est
ing remarks by members of the
alumni and songs by the glee club
and members of the girls school.
1t was merry gathering and de-
cidedly interesting and gratifying
10 the guests and teachers. The
exercises closed with a rOusing
cheer for Kamehameha, past,
present and future.
