Spiders as Personal Pets.

The spider is an obnoxious insect is
one of the popular fallacies which
often diminish the real pleasure which
life holds for those who are capable OF
enjoying it. The spider is not an OBJ.
noxious insect at all. In the first place
it is not an insect. In the second
place, so far is it from being hurtful
or offensive, that it can be made one
of the dearest little pets in the world.
Margaret Wentworth Leighton, in a
current magazine article. tells how
she collected a common or garden
spider, and kept the sweet lady under
q glass tumbler for three weeks. She
watched her "building her house of
snowy silk" and raising a family. aud,
says the writer, ''she soon learned to
take flies from my hand aud drink
water from a leaf which l gave her
fresh every day" The delicate beauty
aud observation-disclosures of feeding,
presumably, live flies to the dainty
pet, is to be noted with unbounded
admiration.
This shows how spiders may be
tanned and made much OF by any one
who appreciates their loneliness. That
they are useful beasts in relation to
the depletion of flies and mosquitoes
is we'll known, and n dozen or SO pet
spiders in a bed room would do much
for the comfort and peace of mind OF
the summer boarder. New York Mail

EFFECTS OF FEED on MILK,

A bulletin of the Iowa Experiment
Station gives results Of certain expert.
ments IN feeding dairy COWS with q
view to determining the effect of GER
tain feeds on the quantity and quality
of milk, butter and cheese. In addi
ton to the usual foundation feed OF
hay, corn fodder, bran, gluten meal
and oil meal, the dairy herd were fed
turnips and beets for seventy seven
days and then the roots were left out
OF the ration for forty six days, and
then the grain and hay were with
drawn and the herd run on pasture for
sixty six days, part of the time with
bran and part of the time without.
The feed was all chopped, mixed and
moistened twelve hours before feed
ing, as this aided mastication and di-
gestion. The herd contained Hol-
stems, Shorthorns and Jerseys, and
the effects of the various ratlons on
these breeds were separately noted.
The butter resulting from these
various rations was scored by experts
who knew nothing of the feeding ex
pertinent.
1t was found that turnips injured
the flavor of both milk aud butter.
This injury is due to volatile acids
which can be driven of by heating the
milk to 26O degrees for a short time.
Beets increased the milk and butter
product, and caused all the cows, ever
Jerseys, to lay on fat quite rapidly.
When the roots were discontinued,
butter fat decreased, and the cows
ceased to gain weight, and it took
morepounds o ffeeds calculated to dry
matter) to produce a pound of butter.
When turned on pasture there was an
immediate increase Of milk, butter
and live weight. Feeding bran during
part OF the grazing period produced
sufficient gain to yield a small profit.
The cost of q pound of butter was
ID cents from the Holsteins, 12i cents
from the Shorthorns, and 10i cents
from the Jerseys. The Holsteins used
twenty four pounds of food (dry mat
teri to produce a pound of butter !; the
Shorthorns, 23h pounds, and the
Jerseys, 2Ol pounds. In proportion
to weight, the Jerseys we're the largest
eaters, but they converted their food
into milk and butter rather than flesh.
For each 1000 pounds of weight the
Holsteins ate Oh pounds of food, the
Shorthorns twenty pounds and the
Jerseys tweuty.seven pounds.
The butter from pasture scored
highest in quality, that from beets
stood second, and that from the turnips
scored lowest.

There will be no less than five in
ternational expositions in different
parts of the globe during 1897. An
international display of engineering
and electrical improvements will be
held at Newcastle, England, in COM
memoration of the sixtieth year of
Queen Victoria's reign. Two immense
structures, representing n vast outlay
OF money, are now in process of erec-
ton, and the enterprise will be in
every respect worthy of tho event
which it celebrates. On January 25th
an international gus exposition was
held in the city of New York, at which
time Il collection of fixtures and appli-
ances representing the progress
achieved in this branch Of industry
was exhibited. Later on in the year
IN engineering exposition will be held
at Stockholm, where n building with
an area Of 100, 900 square feet has Just
been completed. During the sum-
mer months an exhibition of
agricultural and industrial ma.
chimes will be held at Hieff; while the
last and most important of all the
years exhibits will be held at Brussels.
Expensive preparations have been
made for the Brussels exposition, and
the ambition of the management is to
eclipse, if possible, the worlds fair in
1893. In this connection it might not
be Inappropriate to mention the in
dustrial enterprise Of Nashville, which
