Prof. w. A. Henry in Feeds and
Feeding: Konig gives the composition
OF ewes milk as follows (per cent?:
Water S0.s2; casein and albumen,
s.52; fat, Csc; sugar, 4.91: ash. SO.
This was the result of 80 analyses.
The average of 1893 samples of cows
milk was as follows: Water, s7.17:
casein and albumen, 3.55; fat, 3.69;
sugar, ASS; ash, II. In America sheep
are not generally used for producing
milk for man, as in many districts
abroad. especially in mountain regions,
where this milk is extensively en-
ployed. partly for direct consumption.
and partly for the manufacture of
cheese. Ewes milk differs from cows
milk mainly in its greater proportion
Of fat and protein. Much higher
percentages than the above have often
been found by Investigators. The
yield OF milk by sheep will vary great
ly according to the condition of feed
and breed. Martiny states that the
yield of Friesian milk sheep in West
phalia, Germany. is about four quarts
Of milk daily for four month"; These
sheep lamb once year, dropping two
or three lambs. Three sheep are e.
tmated to consume as much feed A.
one COW. Ordinary sheep yield from
100 to $50 pounds OF milk per year,
while the milk breeds produce 800
pounds or more.

D,.t.ne. Ap.r. to Plan. rr...

Distance Apart to Plant TreeA
On this question there seems to be
little consensus of opinion. All kinds
ct advice are given. The list Of dis
tsnces apart of planting one year is
denied BY its makers the next The
reason for this lies in the great d.
versity of conditions. One man said
to the writer that he had planted his
plum trees nine feet apart. Another
said that fifteen was necessary. But
there are many varieties Of plum trees
and they have different habits of
growth. There are also many kinds
OF soils. and each kind varies as to
the amount Of plant food it contains.
1t is safe to say that no rule can be
laid down. 1t is equally safe to ad-
wise that the distances between trees
be as large as practicable. 1t is bet
ter to have too much room than too
little. When trees are very close to-
8ether. the crossing roots make all
cultivation difficult. Close planting
also increases the amount OF pruning
necessary to get good results. What
ever the tree be, give It enough feed
ing ground.

All Sort. Of EXPANSION.

This country Is expanding in every
direction. Statistics show that during
the year 1901 four-fifths of the freight
traffic on the North Atlantic came
from this country. that three-fourths
of the tirst-class passengers on the
steamships between this country and
Europe We're Americans, and that half
the passage money for immigrants
from Europe to this country was, sent
to them by relatives and friends there.
Uncle Sam is expanding in every di-'
recNOn.

Showing Deteriorates Birds.
The man that makes a business Of
showing fowls must expect to meet
many losses. The writer has been
told that in some cases exhibitors
have lost half Of their fowls In sin
gle seasons campaign. Besides the
loss OF birds from colds, diseases, az
posure and SO forth there is further
loss In the deterioration of the birds
shown. even though they come out II
the ordeal without losing a feather.
IN the first place, during the time in
which they are being fitted they are
kept penned up and fed. high. This
hurts the bresding qualities OF the
males and the egg laying qualities of
the females. The necessary prepara-
tion for showing is directly adverse to
the qualities desired in breeding or
laying stock. After the birds are out
Of the shows they must have consid-
cradle time In which to recuperate.
For this reason birds that have been
shown a great deal are looked upon
with suspicion as to their breeding
qualities. A man must take all these
things into consideration when he goes
into the show with his best birds. He
must consider II the advertisement he
is to get will compensate for the in
evitable losses OF various kinds.

PEACE AGAIN IN SIGHT.

The announcement in the House of
Commons that peace negotiations are
going on between Lord Kitchener and
Ar. Schalk- Burger, Acting President of
the Transvaal, 10 conjunction with Mr.
Steyn, President of the Orange Free
State is the best news that has come
from South Africa for many day.
However, il was only what has been
expected, since it has been learned that
Mr. Schalk- Burger, Mr. Reitz and two
OF the Boer commandants had visited
Lord Kitchener under a flag of truce IN
Pretoria. This is the most notable in
cident IN the way of peace negotiations
that has transpired since the conference
of Gen. Botha with Lord Kitchener sew
eral months ago Definite negotiations
are now under way, for Mr.. Schalb-
Burger carries with him all the official
authority that was vested in President
Kruger. Mr.. Steyn, who REPRESENTS the
Orange Free State, has herei ofore been
an irreconcilable, but is now probably
willing to arrange any honorable peace.
For some days there have been rumors
in circulation that the Beers were will
ing to reopen negotiations, and the
chivalrous act of Gen. Delarey in liber-
atlng Lieut.. Gen. Methuen immediate.
ly after his capture was consistent with
these rumors.
The British Government has now an
opportunity. with the exercise of the
magnamity becoming so powerful a ma
ton, to bring the long and sickening
struggle IN South Africa to an end.
