TRINITY CHURCH NOTES.

Trinity church has received during the year 1894 gifts amounting to $450 to be added to the permanent fund of the parish. These include $100 in memory of the late George A. Thompson, given by his widow and daughter; $50 gift from the late Miss Frances. Plumb: $500 re- gently given by the Misses Jeanette, Jane and Lucy Nichols, in memory of their sister, the late Miss Cornelia Nich- ols. These gifts from the members of a parish, which is bravely struggling to maintain itself against many discourage ments, and which counts among its small number not one wealthy parishioner, argue well for the true spirit of self-de- nial and christian devotion in the little band of faithful ones.

AN EXPERIMENT IN FEEDING STOCK.
 Leroy Sherman believes the milk busi- ness, like severything else, pays to get the best and then keep it. He gives an interesting report of his way of feeding and the result. He has five Jersey cows and is experimenting with different kinds of feed, but is partial to one. Last sea- son he sowed field of oats and peas. After threshipg them he had ground to- gether corn on the cob and oats and peas, using two thirds of the corn cob. This he fed on cut corn stalks, properly cured, twice a day, with hay for dinner. On this feed his milk stood , s 10 per cent butter fat. The next two weeks he cut the oat straw and pea vines putting on cob meal and middlipgs mixed with hay for dinner, when his milk stood 6 per cent butter fat. The Canada field pea were used for sowing. A later test at the creamery registered 6 2,10 per cent. STORM BOUND.
