RELATIVE VALUE OF CORN AND
OATS.

The Utah Experiment Station has
issued Bulletin No. &c on the "kelative
Value of Corn and Oats for Horses.
The experiment Is summed up as foi-
lows:
|. In this experiment with two sets
of horses. one set fed grain ration
principally of corn and the other grain
ration principally Of oats, the horses
sustained their weight the better on the
corn ration.
2. The feeding was divided into five
periods. Part of the time one horse was
fed in each set and part Of the time two,
In every period save one the corn-ieo
set did the better.
3. The feeding value OF the ration;
seemed TO vary directly as the quantity
~ digestible matter that each contained
4. A uutritive ratio OF / to 90 did
better than one of to 6.2.
). To sum up the three experiments
we find: First. that during the summer
corn and timothy were not so good al
oats. wheat and clover in maintaining
the weight of horses; second, tna'
during the winter, corn and timothy
did as well as oats, clover aud timothy
in maintaining the weight OF horses
third, that during the spring and sum
mer. corn, wheat or bran and mixed ma!
produced more gain than oats, whea'

A Terrible Cholera Tragedy.

At Askabad, Turkestm, the cholera
had almost disappeared, and the event
was celebrated with much rejoicing on
the anniversary Of the emperor's name
day. The governor gave O. dinner, to
which he invited numerous company,
and the various regiments were granted
extra rations that they might rejoice on
the occasion.
The day. which began SO auspiciously
amid general rejoicing, was destined to
have an ending without parallel in
history
OF the numerous guests who attended
the dinner one-half died within "a
hours A military band Of about 30 men
who played during that fatal dinner
lost 40 Of their number with cholera,
and only 10 Of the men reached camp
that night. One regiment lost half OF
its men and nine officers ere the sun
rose the following morning, and within
IS hours !, 800 people died with cholera
The carse Of the outbreak was clear
" traced TO q small stream Of water
which supplied the town. Four days
previously the authorities were informed
that cholera had broken ont at a small
Turkoman village situated on the banks
Of this stream about four miles above
Askabad. The inhabitants of this vii
lage were ordered to move their tents
several miles back on the hills, which
they did.
On the day before the temperance
Of the cholera nc Askabad very heavy
rainstorm occurred, which washed the
banks of the river and swept refuse and
other matter from the abandoned village
into the stream, and this matter was
carried by the water into the city and
distributed to all parts Of the town by
the numerous open canals through
which the inhabitants were supplied
with water It was this contaminated
water which caused the temperance OF
the epidemic and the frightful mortality
which followed. Sanitary Era

believe his eyes. And yet her eyes look

thing which he did not remember, max

What Was . Yeoman.

The following quotation from Bishop
Latimer's First Sermon Preached Be
fore King Edward vi" March s. l54s.
is good illustration Of the meaning OF
this word and shows the primitive man
ners and customs Of those times:
"My father was yeoman and had
no lands Of his own. only he had farm
of 3 or pound by year at the utter
most, and hereupon he titled so much
as kept half dozen men. He had walk
for 100 sheep, and my mother MIXED
80 kline. He was able and did find the
king a harness. with himself and his
horse, while he came to the place that
he should receive the kings wages l
can remember that I buckled his bar-
ness when we went unto Blackheath
field. He kept me to school, or else l
had not been able TO have preached be-
fore the kings majesty now. He mar
ried my sisters with 3 pound, or 20
mobiles apiece, SO that he brought them
up in godliness and fear Of God. he
kept hospitality for his poor neighbors,
and some aims he gave to the poor. And
all this he did Of the said farm, where
he that now hath it payeth l6 pound by
year or more and is not able to do any
thing for his prince, for himself nor for
his children, or give cup Of drink TO
the poor. Notes and Queries.
