Feeding yetch Hay.

AS preliminary report for the pur-
pose of answering some questions re-
garding the feeding of vetch hay,
present a brief summary of results Of
our experience in feeding this mate
rial. We have fed the vetch hay to
fattening steers. and to cows giving
milk, and in both cases the results
have been very satisfactory. 1t was
compared with clover hay in both in
stances. The steers made good gains
when receiving vetch hay as the only
dry food, except the grain. Two steers
were fed AZ days on the vetch hay,
and gained 3.O7 pounds and 2.07
pounds respectively, per day. Those
fed on clover hay gained ZIG pounds
and 2.56 pounds respectively.
The vetch when properly cured is
relished by all kinds of stock. 1t must
not stand until too ripe before cutting.
When fed to mich cows the flow Of
milk and per cent Of butter fat was
maintained throughout the test, which
extended over a period of As days. AS
a cheap substitute for clover hay the
vetch seems to answer the demand very
satisfactorily. 1t is an annual, conse-
quently must be sown every year. In
this respect it can not be compared
with clover. AS fertilizing crop, 1t
Is not as good as clover for it does
not root as deeply, nor loosen the soil
as completely as clover.-H. T. French,
Oregon Experiment Station.
Medium Hogs for Market.-Drovers
Journal: Big corn means big hogs
Big hogs means lots Of lard, big hams
and big pork, which is now, and is
liable to remain heavy drug on the
market. The January furry in the
prices of hogs and provisions made ev-
erybody feel bullish, and the conse-
quence was farmers and feeders held
their hogs long after they ought to
have been shipped. While cellars and
storehouses have been crowded with
heavy, fat stuff that nobody seemed to
want, packers say they cannot possibly
supply the demand for bacon and cuts
of pork made from light hogs at prices
considerably above board of trade quo
tations. There is nothing like supply
ing the demand with what it wants,
and holding already heavy hogs to
simply store more cheap corn into
them lis folly. Better sell the hogs
when they are at the most desirable
weights and save the corn, which will
come in handy.
Fast-Walking Farm Horses.-Any
good breed Of trotting horses, or any
horse which has thoroughbred blood in
its veins, can by practice he made to
walk fast. No common-bred animal
can be made a fast walker. A fast
walker is made by careful exercise in
that gait and 1t is delightful one for
a traveller II his steed WALKS four or
FIVE miles an hour. II is also very i'm
portant to the farmer to have fast
walking team; but IL depends much
on the rider or driver whether horse
ever attains this highly esteemed
quality Farm and Home.

recitation rooms at University Hall.
The new requirement ordains that
hereafter the young men shall hold a
stag service at University Hall, and
that the varsity girls do their praying
alone, at Woman's Hail. Many girls
object, the boys kick" and already re-
ligious zeal at the university is at low
ebb.
The Wednesday evening meeting has
been a feature of college life at North
western. 1t has been at once a reli-
gious service and a social function. 1t
has been common ground where the
young men and women of the school
have met for the exchange of thought
concerning heaven above, and it has
offered to many opportunity for ar
ranging temporary heaven here be-
low. 1t has been, in short, not only a
place for worship, but a trysting place,
where Pyramus and Thisbe have
evolved numberless schemes that have
occasioned a fiutter among the old
heads and set the gossips of the town
to chattering.
The prayer meeting rooms have al
ways been full. Weather could not
keep the young women away and the
presence of the gallant youth could al
ways be counted upon. While the ser
vice lasted he would sit with his eye in
tent on the leader and his heart a-throb
for the girl who sat just in front
When the hour bell had rung and the
| meeting was over the important fea-
lures of the evening would be inaugu-
rated. 1t had come to be recognized as
the choicest opportunity of the week in
| which to make engagements, and all
| knew their opportunity and seized it.
The authorities of the school in re-
cent days however, have kept pace
| with the progress of their pupils. They
| began to see how large a role as a mat
rimonial agency the service was play
| ing, and, wishing to eliminate all sen.
sational features and make the institu-
tion serve simply it's proper purpose
they concluded to shift the scenes. Ir
| their new plan they have had the
I hearty cooperation of the officers anG
other leaders of the Young Mems an6
| Young Women's Christian Associations
While the result will prove beneficial tt
the school, no doubt apparent interest
1
in religious matters will flag in many
hearts. Meetings last Wednesday were
not as largely attended as usual, ant
some students who have been regular
in their attendance have no f1esitancy

her moult to the end of April, A good
goshawk strikes a rabbit by driving q
hind claw into the spinal marrow, par
alyzing the animal, and does not, as
represented in q recent work, take it by
the hinder part. Under a fine old ee-
dar, at the corner of the terrace gar
dens, Barbara has her perch, in the
company of three peregrine falcons,
An interesting sight near the court is
the large eagle yard In all 1t contains
about twelve species Of eagles besides
vultures, buzzards, hawks and others
of the falcondae The patriarch of the
eagles, a female white tailed or sea
eagle, commonly called the erne, had
been taken from a nest in the Conner
agh mountains, county Waterford, in
the spring of 1854, and she was received
at Lilford in July of the same year,
She looks likely to live forty years
longer; and although at first she was
very savage, she is now quite tame.
There is a large black vulture, which
has been theIs since 1869, which usually
lays two eggS every March. This Cthe
writer says) is a decided wag of bird;
she has adopted an affected and most
economical way way of walking, min
cling about and holding up her great
wings about her as skirt dancer does
her voluminous folds. The folks who
visit the aviaries are always charmed
at this show-off for their benefit.
A character" of Lord Lilford's col
lection was q raven taken from a nest
in northern Spain, and given to his
lordship twenty years ago. 1t was
called Sankey This name he used Of
ten to repeat, as though proud of it,;
and he very quickly made himself at
home on the lawn near a. large old
beech, at the west corner of the house.
This bird always made point of meet
ing any one who came out of the hall
door, and if it happened to be man or
a boy, Sankey had a provoking habit of
Selling him by the trousers or peeking
at his shoe leather; but he was never
so ungallant as to attack any feminine
fripperies Any dog, large or email, he
always went for, gave q vigorous dig
at his hinder parts, and then retired to
some secure point, from which he
would embark in derision at his irrita-
ted enemy. Some years ago a raven
was brought from the south of Spain
and the last part of Sankey's life was
spent in companionship with one of its
own kind. When Sankey died he had
been at Lilford Hall seventeen years

Stocks Irregular Yesterday, but in the
Main Firm


New York, Nov. 9-Stoeks to-day
We're irregular, but in the main firm
The irregularity of prices was the re-
suit Of realizations by professional OPP
orators who bought lat considerably
lower prices and who now believe that
reaction is overdue
Early advices from London reported
lower range for American securities
there, and this, with the rise of a full
cent in the posted rates of sterling ex-
change, to $4S31s@$4S7, was used, but
not with much effect, against the share
list The advance in sterling exchange
gave rise to talk about gold exports,
but this had little influence with those
familiar with the situation A feature
of the market was the buying of the
low priced issues and the execution of
orders in the gid edged stocks, such
as Lackawanna, Lake Shore, Consoli-
dated Gas, etc, by commission houses.
Under this process Lake Shore rose
to 1853, Lackawanna to 1904 and Consol-
dated Gas to 1884,. The activity and
stocks resulted, from the continued
easy working of the money market, the
further rise in wheat and advices from
various sections of the country in re-
gard to the resumption of work by
mills and manufactures, which hold
out the hope of increased railway traf-
fic during the winter months.
Manhattan was conspicuous for an
advance from 1914 to 1924 on rumors
that the alleged deal between the COM
pany and the Metropolitan Traction
will be carried through, denials by off,
Gals of the companies to the contrary
Notwithstanding
Among the low priced stocks Hook
ing Valley, Colorado Fuel and Iron,
Texas Pacific and Northern Pacific
were prominent. The jump in the first
named was due to reports that the
meeting Of the representatives of the
bituminous coal roads to be held in this
city tomorrow will result in a new
agreement favorable to the bituminous
coal roads
1t was also said that the Hooking
Valley had concluded new traffic ar
engagements with the Norfolk and
Western. Flint and Pere Marquette and
other lines which will add materially
to the earnings of the company. SUI
gar and Chicago Gas were weak for a
time, the former selling off IL, to 1904,
and the latter az, to 763s, but subse-
qltently there was a rise to 1225s and
| 77%, respectively.
The granger group was not material
lay changed at any time from Saturday
closing figures. The strength of the
market 4in the late transactions was
due partly to the knowledge that the
New York city bonds would be heavily
over subscribed. The market closed
strong in tone. Net changes show
gains of Il to 21a per cent, outside Of
Consolidated Gas, which gained 81 per
cent Bay State Gas, after advancing
IL, to IS. broke and closed at 1875 per
cent
Trading in railway bonds was on a
heavy scale, $3,509,0 changing hands.
The market was strong to buoyant.
