The second, which has thus far re-

MOLASSES AS FEED.
Experiments Conducted by French
Government Experts Have Proved
Quite satisfactory.

Many agriculturists in Europe have
long been convinced that molasses is
an admirable food for horses and
cattle, and their conviction is now
stronger than ever, owing to certain
experiments which have been recent
ly tried and which proved eminently
successful.
The French government has pub
licly notified agriculturists that it
will do all in its power to aid them
in popularizing the new food.
The most notable experiments
with molasses have been made by
NJ. Decrombecque, chemist, and NJ.
Mannechez, veterinary surgeon at
Arras. They assert that chopped
hay or grass mixed with molasscs is
an excellent cure for asthma, and,
furthermore, that food of this kind
neither loads the stomach nor i'm.
pedes respiration. They also think
it likely that during digestion the
sugar in the food produces alcohol,
and they say that, if so, the animals
health is bound to be benefited
thereby.
Two other experts. NM. Dickson
and MalpeauX, have also made eX-
periments in regard to the effect OF
molasses on the general health,
weight and milk of animals, and they
have arrived at the following con-
clusions:
First, that ordinary food mixed
with molasses quickly increases the
weight of sheep, pigs and cows; sec
ond, that animals which are fed in
this way give more and richer milk
than they did before; third, that mo-
lasses is an excellent food for horses,
since they quickly acquire liking
for it and apparently do not lose any
of their strength, the only noticeable
change being slight tendency to
stoutness, and, fourth, that molasses
can effectively be used with food Of
an inferior quality, since the ami
mails will readily eat it, whereas they
would not care for it in its natural
cord:tion.
NJ. Albert Vilcoq. French profess
sor Of agriculture, says that the
French government is acting very
wisely in encouraging farmers to use
molasses, but he points out that care
should be taken not to give the ami
mails too much of it, as, owing to it's
heating qualities, it may produce a
deleterious effect If given too often
or too abundantly.-N. Y. Herald.

FIELD FOR SCIENTISTS.

Porto Rico is proving to be an in

the employ of the government. They
have already discovered much that is
new in plant and animal life on this
island. The United States fish COM
mission has been particularly for
ward in this work, and as a result
has just issued series of five bull
letins on the subject of some Porto
Rican fishes until recently unknown
to science.

SHORTHORN BULL ST. VALENTINE
Judge the future by the past, or the
coming offspring by its progenitors.
The breeder knows what to expect and
feels sure that the young will possess
some of the characteristics of their
parents.
A very good example of this estab-
lishment of type in recent years is
to be found in the pure-bred strain of
Polled Durham cattle. The subject of
originating a breed of polled short
horns was agitated Is o. 20 years ago
and eliminated in the Polled Durham
breed, which we have to-day. The
process followed was to take the best
mulley cows to be found among the com
mon stock and breed topure-b short
horn bulls, saving the polled heifers
produced from this union and breeding
back to .pure-bred shorihorn bulls.
This process was followed constantly,
eliminating the common stock blood
and preserving the polled characteris-
tic until for all practical purposes
they were pure-bred shorthorns.
While this process was going on a
pure-bred shorthorn COW in Lorain
county, o., gave birth to twin heifer
calves from shorthorn bull that were
hornless. About the same time pure
bred shorthorn bull calf was dropped
without horns. These polled pure breds,
which were in reality "sports," were
mated. the offspring from them that
were polled were saved, and from those
three calves there are to-day several
hundred pol.ed cattle.

THE DEADLY CIGARETTE.

L which has been started in Salt
Lake should result in improving the

welibeing Of the boys of the city. Gig
arettes are different from any other
form of mental or bodily poison. in
this, that they fan almost universally
into unlearned hands. The habit Of
smoking cigarettes, if formed at all, is
usually acquired by boys between the
ages of and Il years.
It is folly to say that the cigarette
is The most injurious poison that can
be taken into any system. In the case
Of fully developed men il is doubtful
if the smoking of cigarettes is any more
injurious than the use of tobacco in
other forms Many cigarettes, prob
ably all Of the more expensive brands,
are made of the very highest class of
tobacco and the most costly quality of
paper. Some physicians contend that
q cigarette now and then is actually
beneficial to some constitutions. And
that practically covers all that can be
said in favor of the pernicious practice.
On the other hand, nothing is more
injurious to Uniformed boys than the
cigarette Even the very finest brands
are highly harmful to them. But they
do not get the finest brands The
small boy usually wants all he can
possibly get for his money, and the
result is that he invests where he can
get the largest number Of cigarettes
for the smallest outlay Then he goes
putting his obnoxious way along the
street imagining he is doing some
thing that is manly.
II boys could only see themselves as
others see them, if they could only be
made to understand that they are max
