ground; he had passed into the
neighborhood of Leicester Square,
when suddenly he started and trembled
from head to foot. A voice, it seemed
to him a familiar voice, struck upon
his ear. 1t was speaking volubly in the
French tongue.
Hurriedly he drew aside to allow the
person to pass him by; then, looking
up, he recognized the French teacher
Caussidiere.
Yes, it certainly was he, beyond all
manner of doubt! He was carrying on
such an excited conversation with his
companion that he not even noticed
Sutherland, whose sleeve he had al
most brushed.
Sutherland's first impulse was to
rush forward and confront the French
man, his next to drop back, to remain
unobserved behind and follow him.
The latter course he followed.
Where he went he could not tell, be-
ing IMMERSED in the ways and the by
ways of the great city, but he was TAX
en- in and out of by-streets and slums-
mostly inhabited by French refugees;
presently the two men entered house,
from which, after lapse of an hour,
which to Sutherland seemed an eterni-
ty, the Frenchman emerged alone. He
called up hanson; Sutherland called
up one also, and they ratified away aft
er each other.

skim.Milk ana Hogs.

In tests conducted by the Utah ex-
pertinent station, skim-milk was fed
extensively to hogs. and the following
conclusions were arrived at:
~ Skim-milk, when fed in combi-
nation with grain, makes a very val
liable food for hogs at all periods Of
their growth, but particularly so dur
ing the earlier periods.
~ Skim-milk and grain in combi-
na..on make much more economic
ration for hogs than either milk alone
or grain alone. The milk and grain
fed lots required 2.5S pounds of diges-
tible matter, the milk fed lots 2.S5
pounds and the grain fed lots 3.19
pounds to make one pound Of gain in
live weight.
90 When fed in combination with
grain, skim-milk has 63 per cent great
er feeding value than 1t has when fed
alone. 100 pounds Of skim-milk TAX
ing the place of 1872 pounds of grain
In the former case and 14.2 pounds in
the latter.

gains than either those fed on milk
alone or grain alone. The time requir-
ed to make 100 pounds of gain was 70
days for the hog fed on milk and
grain, 116 days for those fed on grain
alone and 147 days when the food was
milk alone.
(5 When the skim-milk and grain
were fed in the proportion Of 3 pounds
or less Of skim milk to one pound of
grain, the return for the skim-milk
was greater than when a larger pro-
portion was fed. When. fed in the
proportion Of 2 pounds of skim-milk
to one pound of grain. 100 pounds of
milk took the place Of 81 pounds of
grain, but when fed in the proportion
of 4 pounds of skim-milk to pound of
grain, only "a pounds were displaced.
(6) Hogs fed on milk alone gained
very slowly and did not keep in good
health: in some cases they were of
their feed SO frequently that change
of feed had to be made. The milk and

ception. kept in good health.

There has been an upward and a
downward process in American breed
ing of cattle. Half a century ago there
VS. little pedigreed blood in American
cattle. Then came the Introduction
Of the Durhams, or Shorthorns The
building up process began and contin-
ued with vigor for few decades. Soon
the pure-bred and grade Shorthorns
were found in all parts of the land.
and the beef-producing power of our
farms was immensely increased. The
introduction of the Durhams and their
success led to the Introduction of the
other established breeds. and the work
of grading up was continued. But the
result has not been altogether what
was desired, for the farmers, instead
of breeding along pure lines, began to
cross breed to an alarming extent.
This was bad enough when it included
only beef breeds, but when beef ami
mails were crossed with dairy animals
the results could be nothing but re-
grettable from the standpoint of the
scientific breeder. To further compli-
cate matters these mongrels were
bred hit or miss to any animal as con-
venience dictated. We may call this
a downward movement in breeding,
for the general mix-up has resulted in
numerous class Of animals that will
not bring good prices at the stock
yards and that will not give a good
account Of themselves at the milk pail.
The sooner this kind Of breeding is
stopped the better for American cattle
raisers.

He found Marjorie in tears, and John
Sutherland by her eide.
At sight of the latter he started, look

of the young painter, by no means de-

L North British Agricultmist. in an
article on Nnglish and continental for
ests. says: &

which It is produced, what the country
has got to face issthe fact that. ex-

chiefly for pines. most Of which can
not be grown here, and about E2.O00.-
900 to Asia and Australia for teak and
Eucalypti, the. latter principally for
street-paving.
To continental sylviculturist who
has not had an opportunity Of seeing
what the resources Of the country real
~ are in respect to timber-growing, 1t
might appear, from an examination OF
the agricultural returns, that Britain
was very i'll adapted for the purpose.
When our woodland area Of some
thing like 100000 acres is compared
with those Of some of the principal
timber-producing countries of Europe,
1t becomes dwarfed almost into insig-
nifcance; and when it is taken into
account that a very considerable pro-
portion Of this area consists of land
occupied by ornamental and other
plantations Of various kinds for amen
ity, which would not be classed as tim
Der land according to continental ideas.
and Of large tracts which practically
carry no crop of any kind, as in some
parts of the New Forest in Hampshire,
the area actually under what might be
brought under the head Of timber land
proper is a very small one indeed. The
whole woodland area amounts to less
than one-twenty-fifth of that Of the
whole country dncluding land and
water), and Of this little more than one
thirtieth is owned by the state. When
we turn to some Of the principal tim
Reproducing countries Of the CONT
nent, we are confronted with a very
different state Of affairs. Russia prop
er has over one-third of it's whole area
under timber, fully one-half Of which
is owned by the state; Sweden has
about one-half, Of which one-third is
owned by the state; Norway about one
fourth, Of which one-eighth is owned
by the state; Germany fully one
fourth, Of which one-third is owned
by the state. and a considerable por-
ton by communes; Austria about one
third, of which one-tenth is owned by
the state; and France about one-dfth,
of which one-tenth is owned by the
State. Looking more particularly at
the German area, which is undoubtedly
the most skilfully managed of all. we
find that, from the "a million acres of
land under timber, there is an annual
out-turn Of timber amounting to the
value of from 920,000,000 to 922,500,-
600, without in any way encroaching on
the capital or growing stock, while the
expenses of management amount to a
little over 100000. But what is of
as great Importance is the fact that
employment is afforded to nearly 600,-
900 people, representing, it is estimat-
ed, something like 100000 of the pop
ulation.
