Reducin9 Prices of Steel.

Pittsburg is only few miles from
the great coke producing region OF
Pennsylvania. 1t is a thousand miles
from the Lake Superior iron ranges
where it gets most of the ore it uses.
Fifty years ago the cost of assembling
the ore, coke, and limestone for q ton
of pig iron made up half the total cost
of production. At that time 1t would
have been out of the question to usa
Lake Superior ores at Pittsburg, SO
heavy would have been the transpor-
tation expenses. Since then the cost
of carrying ore by water and by rail
has been so much chearened and the
time required so much lessened that
it is said it is possible to convert into
steel plate at Pittsburg ore mined only
ten days before near Lake Superior.
Furthermore that steel can be sold at
a profit for price lower than foreign
manufacturers can afford to accept.

A Family Horse.

Prof. Eugene Davenport says: II a
man wants job not as easy as he
may imagine in advance, let him go
upon the streets of any town and try
to buy a first-class family horse. He
will find scores Of them that owners
or agents will swear by as being the
best family horse ever wrapped in
hide; but buy him, take home and try
him, and in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred he will prove to be wrong in
some vital respect. Nothing but con-
slant family use, with the most kindly
and careful treatment, will ever make
a family horse in the true acceptation
of the term. A family horse must be
not Tess than seven to eight years old,
with several years of proper expe-
rience possession of his entire conf
denee, and good, sensible brain to
star. with. When any individual
recommends a family horse as being
absolutely reliable when it is less than
seven years old, take the statement
with grain Of salt and save your
family from accidents and possibly
death. A perfect family horse is
cheaper at $500 than an unsafe one as
a gift. 1t Is always a safe proposition
in buying a family horse to test him
for a week, to be driven by we'll
posted, strong man, to save accidents.

1. In the first trial. corn and oats
gave larger gain than peas and oats.
2. In the second trial, peas alone
gave the largest gain, followed by the
mixture, corn and peas.
8. The second trial is more satisfac-
tory than the first, because 1t covered
a longer period Of time, and because,
from the method Of feeding, more d.
rect comparison Of corn and peas was
obtained. 1t is suggestive fact, also,
that the gain made by the group on
corn and peas is intermediate between
the gains made by the other two
groups, as it affords additional evil
dence regarding the superiority of peas
over corn.
4. During the second trial, ground
corn could be bought for SIT per ton,
while peas cost from Coo to &c per
bushel. AS a result, though the peas
gave the largest gain, the corn gave
the cheapest gain.
S. According to the results OF the
second trial, If pea meal is valued at
$40 per ton, ground corn would be
worth S17.35 per ton.

Horticultural Societies.

VIM. ]. Stewart, addressing Massa
chusetts horticultural society, said
A horticultural society has more pow
er for good in community than any
similar organization. We shall never
be able to estimate the tremendous IN
fluence exerted on New England life
and character during the, past half
century, and for all coming time, by
the Massachusetts Horticultural Soci-
ETY.. With the smaller affiliated or
CARNATIONS, such as yours, equal re-
suits are possible If you will only work
for 1t. Remember that there Is all the
difference in the world between a
worker in horticulture and patron
of horticulture. AS nation we are
yet young people and our minds are
so engrossed in industrial and econo-
mic adjustments that we find not the
leisure or disposition to devote to the
cultivation of the finer sentiments. II
is your privilege and duty to turn our
attention to higher ideas and more ra-
tional living.

Corn vs.. Pea. for ra...n,ns Lambs.


The Ontario Experiment Station re-
Gently conducted tests to ascertain the
relative value Of corn and peas for fat
tening lambs. The report of the tests
says: Two experiments have been
made with lambs for the purpose of
comparing these two foods, and though
the results are somewhat contradio-
tory, they are given here for what they
are worth, and another report will be
made when further tests have been
completed.
In the first experiment, eight lambs
were divided into two groups making
four lambs in each group. One group
was fed equal parts by weight of corn
and oats, and the other group was fed
equal parts by weight of peas and oats,
the grain being ground in each case.
The average meal ration was slightly
over one and one half pounds Of meal
per lamb per day. In addition to the
meal ration, both groups were fed equal
quantities of red clover hay. In the
second experiment, change was made.
Twelve lambs were divided into three
groups of four lambs each. One group
was fed ground corn, another group.
ground peas; and the remaining group,
equal parts by weight Of ground corn
and peas. At first, the lambs were fed
one pound of meal per lamb per day,
which quantity was eventually in
creased to a pound and half per lamb
per day. On the average the lambs re-
ceived 1877 TBS Of meal per lamb per
day. In addition to the meal, all
groups were fed equal quantities Of red
clover hay. The first experiment con-
tinued for "a days, and the second ex-
pertinent, 104 days.
The following table shows the aver
age weekly gains per lamb, and the
amount of meal consumed per pound
of gain in the two experiments:

A report of the Illinois Board of Live
Stock Commissioners says: The ex-
perience gained through the Tuber-
culin tests made in dairy herds by the
Board since the efficiency and accur-
acy of tuberculin as diagnostic agent
has become established, points very
clearly to the fact that throughout the
dairy districts of the State tuberculosis
prevails among the dairy cattle to a
considerable extent. While in many
herds only a few cases have been dis
closed, in large number Of herds
considerable PERCENTAGE has been
found affected, and there has been In
many of these herds very conclusive
evidence of the development and
spread of the disease among cattle
through contagion. Whenever the dis
ease effects foothold in herd there
is constant danger of it's spreading to
other members, thus causing, In the
course of time, great pecuniary loss,
and no cure ever having been dis
covered for the disease, the only means
of effectively graduating 1t from the
herd is through the destruction of the
affected animals. Owing to the ina
bility of the best qualified inspectors
to discover the existence OF the disease
in it's earlier or incipient stages In any
animal by physical ante-mortem ex-
animation, it follows that the only
means of discovering all of the animals
in herd that are affected is relia-
BILE diagnostic agent, which Prof. Koch
has given the world in tuberculin. Elk
perimentation during several years
with this agent has demonstrated that
1t is very nearly an infallible test OF
the presence Of tuberculosis in the In
ternal organs of an animal when there
are no clinical manifestations OF the
disease, and the Board has used tuber-
culin in conducting tests to discover II
herds are affected, with most satisfac-
tory results.
