WEATHER STATION
ON BLUE RIDGE.

II the request of Secretary Wilson.
OF tn deparfm ent of agriculture, is
granted by tae legislature, the gov
ernment will establish weas her ob
servatory on the summit of the Blue
Ridge mountains, near Trapp, in Lou
doun county.
Governor Montague transmitted the
request of the department to the
presiding officers of e tch branch of the
assem- bly,. which asks consent to the
purchase of tract of land on which
to establish the building.
Sixty seven acres of land have been
purch ased by the government on the
Blue Ridge. where the observatory will
be located, the title has been certifisd by
the Attorney. General. and nothing re-
mains but the approval of the Virginia
Legislature, which it is understood
will be given without objection.
The new building on the Blue Ridge
mountains will be equipped with. self
recording instruments of the most ap-
proved pattern, and it is understood
that its work will be devoted to OBJ
servations or rainfall, air pressure, and
temperature in the elevated regions.
Director Evans, of the local Weather
Bureau, says the establishment OF
these six observatories was suggested
by Chief Willis, at the last annual
meeting Of the weather directors, and
marks an ad vanced step in mete0rolOgl-
Cal science. 1t is the policy of the
national " estner bureau TO naYs- an
observatory i'll connection with each
of it's principal stations to facilitate
the work at the central bureau at
Washington.
G. W. Koiner, State commissioners OF
Agriculture, believes that the estab-
llshment of the observatory at Trapp,
Will render great service to the farm
ing interests of the State. Il hope
that in time the government with es
tabIish a central telephone station in
the State, where bulletins may be de-
livered every morning over the various
telephone lines that form a network in
the State. In many sections of V1r-
ginia, when the forecasts. are wired
from Washington, they are 'phoned out
from the telegraph stations by the
operators, and information as to the
weather is gotten by the farmers early
in the. day. whereas the mail reports
would not reach them in many cases
until late in the afternoon"

kOLASsES AS CATTLE FOOD.
Horses and Mules Have Thrivtd on it in
Louisiana for Two Years

The experiment undertaken iu
Brooklyn in the way of feeding hors s
on Molasses has for two years been in
/ general nse in.Louisiana for the feed
! ing of Lorsee, mules and all stock, ard
probably ninetenlhs Of the draught
animals in the sugar district get this
food either alone or mixed with oats or
corn. The animals like it and are kept
in splendid condition by it. '.Sugar
| mules,n which are fed on molasses
| mainly, are worth from 20 to % per
cent. more than the mules on cotton
plantations, which are fed generally
On cottonseed and cottonseed meal.
Molasses has been a waste product
| in Louisiana ever since the improved
| process in the manufacture of the sac
charine from it than formerly. 1t has
been a problem how to get rid of it..
The discovery. therefore. that it could
be used as food for stock was of
double value. Six months ago fac
tory was erected for the manufacture
of cattle food from molasses. The
process is very simple. The molasses
is mixed with corn or oats in nearly
equal proportions. The. mixture is
pressed into solid mass and dried,
and then ground into fine powder.
1t is like the cottonseed meal with
| which cat tie and horses are fed
throughout the world. The horses
q s a. Rd scssts 3. f9ad of e
lasseE, and they do better on 1t than on
any other food fed to them. They
keep fat and are capable of extraord
mary work in hauling heavy loads.
This one factory turns out $50 tons
of molasses preparation a day, and
the stuff is being substituted rapidly
on the plantatians for the raw molass
es, not because it is any better, but
because it is more conveniently handl-
ed So far the use of molasses for feed
ing horses has been confined to New
Orleans and the sugar districts, but
by this process, which enables it to be
handled easily, it is likely to be ship
ped elsewhere. Only a small part of
the Louisiana molasses crop, which
runs to from 10000 600 to $4,000, 900
gallons a year, is used for horse and
cattle food or in any other way and
large proportion of 1t is thrown away
or burned in the furnaces with the
bagasse and other waste and refuse
