The benefit derived from feeding

is more than many breeders have any
idea of. The beneficial effect is marvel
Gus in many instances, and many breed
ers have slipped by close call from dis
ease by this method of feeding. If the.
cobs are raked up in a wind row in the
feeding lot some dry straw scattered
over them, and all fired you can char
the cobs easily. When burned enough
scatter the cobs with rake, and the fire
will be extinguished; sprinkle salt Oh
them, and when cool let in the pigs.

tensity of the electrical discharge. But
to Prof. Roentgen came success. He
inclosed an excited vacuum tube in
blackened cardboard treated with bari
UNI platinocyanide. The cathode beam
was accompanied by new and
strange radiance, which, although of
fiuorescent and Photographic quality,
can scarcely be any form of light. 1t
is not susceptible of polarization or re-
traction. After these facts became
known there was an enormous amount
of activity in the physio-mcdical world,
and there seems almost no limit to the
uses to which scientists may put the
rsys. Tesla and Edison have devoted
months of patient study of the laws
governing them. Mr.. Edison has found
100 different crystals that will huoresce
under the y ray.
In spite of all efforts to improve the
quality and increase the efficiency of
the ineandescent electric lamp, hereto
fore over 90 per cent. of the energy ex-
pended has appeared as heat and not
light. Now it seems possible that ''cold
light" or light in which the waste of
energy III the htat 10
TO a minimum, has been obtained. ID.
MacFarlane Moore, of Newark, j.. en-
p!oys a vacuum tube in which the light
is produced by the passage of the cleo
tIic discharge through the rarefied gas
of the tube. In such light there is no
combustion and but little heat. Tesla
has attempted this form of lighting, but
the results have been unsatisfactory.
Mr.. Edison has made a contribution to
this problem i'm his fluoreseent bulb.
The commercial possibilities of these
inventions are not yet known.
Last June the results of experiments
conducted for the last five years at Cor
hell college were made known. They
seem to prove that electricity may be
made to stimulate the growth of plants.
Those receiving bright electric rays at
night and sunshine in the daytime
grow much faster than those which do
lot receive the artificial stimulant. BY
applying the arc light direct TO plants
many ran TO seed before edible leaves
were formed. On Towering plants the
effect was wonderful. Blooms were
