SHE TIED up HIS TONGUE.

An Experiment Which Led to the
Breaking of an Engagement
don't know why the simple fact of
being in love should deprive people of
the vestige of common sense with which
nature, never overgenerous with that
rarest Of blessings, has endowed them,
but all my observation tends to confirm
me in the opinion that it does. For ex-
ample, man | know is engaged to q
Georgetown girl-that is, he was en-.
gagged to her up to quarter to 10
O'Clock Thursday night, week before
last. He went out to call on her, and
but first must tell you that she belongs
TO Georgia family. and he is from
Boston, and both of thera are exceeding
ly proud of their birthplace and ances-
try. After few preliminaries, said she
to him:
"Oh, let's hear how fast you can say,
She sells seashells.
So, of course, he said, "Se shells sea
sells and "She shells sheshells' ans
She sells sheselIs, and goodness only
knows what, till his tongue was so tan
gIed up that his mouth was full of
knots. And she began to laugh, and he
told her to say it herself Then they
both went at it, and midway of their
sibilaDt mouthings somebody's temper
began to get frayed at the edges. She
said that Boston people speak abomina-
bly, anyway, aud he retorted tu quoque
about the Georgia dialect From dis
cussion Of speech they came TO discus
sion Of manners. and things We're said
which it were painful to repeat The
engagement was broken. as ! said. at
9:45 O'Clock. II has staid broken ever
since. The rupture bids fair to be per
manent. And all this misery because--
well, because two ordinarily intelligent
persons happened to be made temporari.

FEEDlNG DAIRY COWS.
Interesting Tests by the Kansas Ex-
v,arsr,eut Gfaffou


Interesting Tests by the Kansas Ex-
pertinent station.
Some dairy farmers feed their cows
on the supposition that the less feed
consumed the greater the profit 1t is
interesting in this connection to note
the difference in quantity and quality
Of the feed given to the poorest five
herds and contrast it with that given to
the best five herds ont of 80 herds of
Meroden creamery patrons investigated
by the Kansas experiment station dur
ing the summer of 1898. One herd out
of the poorer five received no grain dur
ing the year, three received ear corn as
their sole grain ration, and the fifth
herd received a little oats and rye in
connection with cernmeal For rough
ness. only one herd out of the five re
ceived any clover, the rest being fed on
millet, prairie hay or corn fodder
With one exception the best five herds
received OATS, bran or shorts in connec-
ton with the corn fed, and in most
cases the roughness of corn fodder or
millet was balanced with alfalfa or
clover The composition of the feeds
given to the five poorest herds shows that
they contain entirely too much carbohy-
drates and fat in proportion to the
amount of protein. the element in feed
that is absolutely necessary in the man
ufacture of milk. The feed given to the
best FIVE herds approached more nearly
to balanced ration for the reason
that bran, oats, shorts alfalfa and clo-
yer contain a larger percentage of pro-
tein.
Now let us look at results. Not all
the difference in the income of these
herds is to be attributed to the feed
but larger part of it can be- Suppose
we estimate the cost of keeping a COW at
$15 per annum for the poorest five
herds which sum is doubtless below ac-
tual cost, and one-third more, or $40
per cow, for the best five herds There
would then be $3 04 annual profit per
COW from the poorest herd and $34. 36
annual from the best herd, a difference
of $31 81 per COW This means that one
COW from the best herd brings as much
clear cash to a man as II cows from the
poorest herd. If we take the average of
the poorest five herds there is profit of
So 50 per COW, while from the best five
herds the profit amounts to $25. 10.
difference of $1654 In other words
one COW from the best herds viii bring
a man as much clear profit as three COWS
from the poorest herds.
1t should ever be borne in mind that
it requires a certain amount of feed to
keep up the animal machine, just as it
requires certain amount of feed torun
an empty locomotive, and that the profit
comes from the feed eaten over and
above that necessary for animal susie
nance, just as the efficiency of loco
motive comes from the fuel consumed
over and above that necessary to move
its own weight. Economy along the line
of Withholding feed from good dairy
COW is false economy. 1t is simply ex-
travagance. ID. H Otis

PrincinIe. of FertI1irinr.

''It is found, according to Professor
Gilbert, the English authority, THAT
easily assimilable nitrogenous manures
have generally very striking effect in
increasing the growth of grain crops
snch as wheat, barley and oats, al
though these grain crops contain com
paratively little nitrogen and take but
little of it from the land. The legu-
minous crops on the other hand, such
as peas, beans, clover and others, al
though highly nitrogenized, are by no
means characteristically benefited by
the use of direct nitrogenous manures,
such as ammonia salts and nitrates,
though nitrates act much more favor
ably than ammonia salts 1t appears
indeed that we may recommend phos-
pilates for turnips, potash for legumi-
nous plants and active nitrogen for
grain. -

The View Corn Product.

A large part of the bulk of cornstalks
and about one-fifth of their weight are
composed of pith. This is generally con-
sidered to be composed very largely of
cellulose, and to be of very little value
for feeding. Recently a number of uses
have been found for the pith in the arts,
and process has been patented and
factories erected for the separation of
the pith on commercial scale. In this
process the stover is dried, the blades
and husks are removed, and the stalks
are ground. The pith, being lighter
than the rest of the cornstalk, is sepa-
rated from it by winnowing The re-
mainder is used for feeding, and has
been designated the new corn prod

Whey contains more nutritive value
than it is popularity supposed to have.
Though most of the fats and casein
have been taken from it, there is a
small proportion os 5oth & .hsss that
goes through the press. These have
some value, but not enough with the
large proportion of water to be fed
alone. There is also some sugar, which
makes the pigs fond Of whey, SO they
will eat until they are distended with
whey, while growing poor in flesh and
not gaining ia weight at all But mix
some corn and cat meal with this whey
and add the least bit OF liuseed meal
and the whey becomes altogether diff
ferent food 1t might be said that the
whey contributes nothing of value to
the ration. 1t does, for il makes it more
palatabIe if given in moderation. The
sweet in 9 whey makes it an appe-
tizer, to encourage the animal to eat
more than it otherwise would. Boston
