Cocoon for Cattle.

Philadelphia Record
The Pennsylvania Experiment Station has
recently received for examination a sample
of cocoa hulls offered for sale as a cattle
food. The husk makes up II 10 20 per cent.
OF the entire bean, of which the United
States imports over 100000 pounds annu-
ally. These hulls used to a consider
able extent in preparing coatings OF cheap
confectionery, and for making a cheap
drink. Their use as cattle food has been
little studied.
The sample received had a chocolate
brown color and the cocoa odor and flavor
IL contained about 1875 per cent of protein

Sheep-Receipts light; shipments none. AS
usual at this time of the week there were not
enough sheep or lambs arrived to-day to estab
fish a range in prices for any grade. and, there
fore, an estimate of the market cannot be given,
based upon the representative sales. In harmony
with the reports from other places II was the
general opinion of dealers here that good stock
would sell at least at steady prices compared
with those current at the close Of the week.

SEEN IN SOUTH AFRICA.
A YOUNG AMERICANS ACCOUNT OF EX-
PERIENCES IN THE BOER WAR.

Neville Sherwood. OF this city returned the
other day from South Africa where, as a sol
der in the British ranks. he saw some of the
hottest fighting of the Boer war. Mr.. Sherwood
has had an adventurous career, having seen
wild life in South America. Australia and In
this country
Finding himself in Australia shortly after the
first battles OF the South African campaign had
been fought, the young American took passage
to Cape Town. where. for no other reason than
4 love of adventure, he enlisted in the British
amy.
Being in General French's column. his desire
e see real fighting was fully gratfed. Il was
seven months in the field" he told a Tribune
reporter yesterday. "and in all that seven months
I don't believe there were seven entire days
that were not under fire. The Beers would
scatter about in such small groups that We
couldn't use artillery on them. and then just
pot at their leisure. For every dead Boer l
ever saw I saw two dead Engshmen At the
end Of seven months I had enough campaign life
Of that sort, and as 1 able to set my dis
charge I came home"
While IN the army Mr.. Sherwood was able to
ct many photographs from a friend of his who
had a camera with him. Among these are sad
deung views of some Of the principal battle
fields, notably that Of Spion Kop. Another in
teresting feature OF his tales is his account of
the great number of ostriches seen on the veldt.
IL some places they as numerous as chick
in a farmyard, and many were shot. Ere
Quontly the came upon their nests in the
sand where the huge eggs had been laid.
The men devoured these eggs gladly. Young
chicks were also numerous, and could be easily
captured. Mr.. Sherwood intends to return to
South Africa within a few weeks. he believes
There Will be many opportunities to get good
land from the government. The rich mining
country, which tle Beers formerly kept much
to themselves, viii also be thrown open to pros
pectors and he thinks that an enterprisng
young man VIII find gold in plenty either in
mining in agricultural or commercial pursuits
when the war is over.

AXOLOTL AT AQUARIUM.
Continued from page six.

I place the axoIotl only as doubtful in the class
with stationary gilIs. although a good rnany
have given me the assurance that he does not
lose them. Although most of the scientists were
of the opinion that we had here nothing but a
not completely developed salamander. there
were others who looked upon the axoIotI as
a fully developed Siredon
This question was finally settled when. after
one years captivity eggs were unexpe. .tedly
laid by female axolotI which had been
brought 10 the Jardin d'Acclima,isation. in
Paris, with several males These were taken
out OF the tank with the plants to which they
adhered and placed in separate water reser-

four weeks the larve slipped out. and in not
quite seven months the young ones had grown
to the size Of the parents.

finished, it was observed unexpectedly that first
