A Suggested Ration.
Bran For Dairy Cows.

Good wheat bran is one of the very
best foods that can be fed to the dairy
cows. Bran is rich in protein, the very
element out Of which blood is made,
and blood is the fluid out of which milk
Is made. Giving other foods to proper

The Massachusetts station is receiv-
ing many inquiries relative to the
most economic grain mixtures for milk
production. All kinds of grain are rel
atively high at present. Taking the
feeding effect and cost into considera-
ton, the following mixtures are sug-
gested by Professor J. B. Lindsey in
Rural New Yorker: First, 100 pounds
bran, 100 pounds flour middlings, 100
pounds cottonseed or gluten meal.
Mix and feed seven to eight quarts
daily. Second, 100 pounds bran, $50
pounds corn and cob meal, 100 pounds
cOttonseed or gluten meal. Mix and
feed seven to eight quarts daily. Third
100 pounds corn and cob meal, 125
pounds gluten feed. Mix and feed five
to six quarts daily, preferably mixed
with corn silage. Very satisfactory
and economic results are being OBJ
tanned at this station with the follow
ing: First, 200 pounds distillers' dried
grains, $50 pounds corn and cob meal.
Mix and feed five to six quarts daily.
Second, 100 pounds distillers' dried
grains, 100 pounds -four middlings
Mix and feed six to eight quarts daily.
Two Important Factors
Bulk is necessary, but a ration
should not contain more than thirty
five pounds of dry matter and seventy
pounds Of water, says Dairy and
Creamery. Palatability and digestibili-
ty are two factors that are worthy Of
much attention when formulating
ration. Many of the rations compound
ed by the wise men in the east do not
work we'll in practice in this country
because they are lacking in palatabili-
ty, and consequently a cow will not
consume sufficient quantity of the food
to give results. Some are also lacking
in digestibility, and unsatisfactory re-
suits follow their use. A ration can
be made from Overripe timothy, whole
corn and whole oats, but it will not
give as good results as hay, cut when
In prime condition, cornmeal and
chopped oats, because the first combi-
nation would be both slow Of digestion
and less digestible than the second ra-
ton.
A Suggested Ration.
The following ratiOnS are suggested
by Professor II. J. Waters of the Mis- !,
souri, Agricultural college: Corn and'
cob meal, six pounds; wheat meal, five
pounds; gluten or cOttOnseed meal, two
and a half pounds; coWpea, alfalfa Or
clover hay, six pounds. Another is |
eight to twelve pounds of corn and cobb
meal, with all the alfalfa or cowpea /
hay the COWS will eat The third ration
is eight pounds Of corn and cob meal
or seven pounds of cOrnmeal and four
pounds of cOttOnseed or gluten meal
To all the above ratiOns add as much
straw, corn fodder or sorghum hay a.
the cows will eat

New Monument to Lee.

Richmond, Va March "A move
ment looking to the erection of an
adequate and complete monument to
Lee and his generals in the Capitol
Square, in harmony with the present
monument to Washington and the
group of notables, was launched in
the Legislature Monday, when Dele
gate Sipe, of Rockingham county, in-
troduced a bill in the House for the
erection of a monument to Robert K.
Lee and his generals.
The bill appropriated $4,000 from
the State Treasury, in annual pay
ments of $4,000, to be supplemented
by private subscriptions, and delays
the beginning of the work until the
sum of $4,000 has been secured.
Those named in the bill are Robert
+. Lee, Thomas j. Jackson, ] K. b.
Stuart, Joseph K. Johnson, Ambrose
Z. Hill and Matthew +. Maury. The
work is to be under the direction of
the Lee Monument Commission, to
be appointed by the Governor.

A resolution has been introduced
into the Legislature, which if passed
by that body, will place Virginia in
line with many other States for the
election of U. s. Senators by the peo-
pie. 1t was presented in the Senate
on Tuesday and is as follows:
Resolved by the Senate, the House
of Delegates concurring. That APP
plication is hereby made to Congress
under provision of article V. of the
Constitution of the United States for
the calling of convention to pro-
pose an amendment to the Constitu
ton of the United States making
United States Senators elective in
the several States by direct vote of
the people,"
A resolution voicing so unanimous
ly the sentiment of the people of the
State will of course pass that body,
Other states will act and the consent
of two thirds of the Legislatures of
the State will be finally obtained for
an amendment TO the Constitution
giving the people the right to select
their senators. In the meantime Vir-
ginia must show her earnestness in
the matter by giving the people the
right to select them by primary
election in accordance with pledges
already made to them.

The Legislature.

Absence from Richmond Of five
members prevented the committee
for courts of justice of the legisla-
ture from submitting its report We'd
nesday in the case of Judge q. j.
Campbell, of Amherst, who has just
undergone rigid investigation for
conduct unbecoming a judge. The
report will be soon presented to the
, house, when a hot fight will follow.
The unusual spectacle Of the MEM
bers of the Senate standing while
vote was being taken was witnessed
Tuesday when the bill to erect a
statue to the memory OF General
"Jebn Stuart came up. There were
number of speeches favoring the
proposition, and when the vote was
taken the Senators rose in BODY
and the proposition received unan-
imous vote.
Only the governors signature is
now needed to make a law OF the Dill
to place a statue of Gen. X. h. Lee In
statuary hall at Washington. The
measure, which had previously been
approved by the senate, was adopted
in the house Wednesday without de-
bate by vote OF Al OF. The senti-
ment of the north against it seems to
have abated and steps to carry out
the bills provisions will be taken as
soon as possible.
In the Senate Monday the bill pro-
vidiug for the election of commits
sioners of the revenue by the people
for one term and for their appoint-
ment by the judges of the circuit
courts thereafter, was passed by ana
made the special order for Wednes-
day, March 18th. The Senate at first
concurred in the amendment to have
such officers elected by the people,
but reconsidered and made it spec
ial order.
The Corporation Commission,
which in future will have control OF
the CORPORATIONS in Virginia, was
organized Monday and entered upon
it's duties. The members were sworn
in by President Keith, of the Su-
creme Court of Appeals, and Judge
| Beverly Il. Crump, of this city, was
elected chairman. Clerk j. A. Upshur
and Bailiff j. w. Williams also en-.
tered upon their duties today. The
commission has the rooms in the
library bui ding occupied until now
| by the Railroad Commission.
One of the most important matters
to Tidewater in the house Wednes'
day was the adoption of the Edwards
oyster bill by vote OF 90 to B. The
bill shortens the open season thirty
days at the opening and fifteen days
at the end. The closed season fixed
IN the bill commences April l and
ends September Is. Provision is
made prohibiting the use OF patent
tongs, which are destructive to the
oyster beds, and makes possession OF
such machinery prima facie evidence
OF its illegal use Taking of oysters
in the night time is also prohibited.
1t is said the bill stands excellent
chances of passage in the senate,
though it is anticipated that Senator

In a speech recently made by Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, before
the Union League Club, of Chicago,
in which race conditions in the
South were discussed by him, he not
only gave expression to the opinion,
that it is not wise for the people OF
the North to judge hastily the white
people of the South, because OF their
views in the matter of social equality
and companionship, but suggested
that with little more light they
might be able to agree with them
and learn to love and respect their
great qualities" as he had done.
He had learned, he submitted, in
his concluding remarks that neither
he nor they could afford to live in n
state of arrangement with the South
ern people for the following reasons:
"They are a noble race. We may
well take the pattern from them in
some of the great virtues which make
mp the strength as they make the
glories of the free States. Their love
of home; their chivalrous respect for
women; their courage; their delicate
sense of honor;their constancy, which
can abide by an opinion or purpose
oran interest for their States through
adversely and through prosperity,
through the years and through the
generations, are things by which the
people of the more mercurial North
may take a lesson. And there is
another thing-coveiousness, cor
ruption, the low temptation of money
has not yet found any place in our
southern politics. "
He could have added in the way of
advice to his Northern friends that a
people with such great qualities"
ought to be permitted to adjust their
own affairs in way to suit them
selves and that the race question
would have long since ceased to be an
unsolved problem but for those who,
for political reasons or mistaken no.
tions of humanity, had interfered
with them and created strife between
the races.

In MemOriam.

In sad remembrance of my dear
husband, William II. Guy, who de-
parted this life, March 9Th, 1902, one
year ago to day. He was a kind and
loving husband, the light of bis
home, which has been dark with sor'
row ever since he left it.
My darling VIII has left me.
He is numbered with the dead,
His soul has gone to live with Jesus,
Where no farewell tears are shed
have no other precious darling,
No one can fill his place,
But | am trusting in my Saviour
For full amount of grace.
One year has passed away since then
But oh, how long it seems to me,
That face l loved, that voice sc
sweet
Ny soal doth long once more tc
greet.
Ny Willie dear, could you but see,
Often my thoughts are placed Oh
thee
You stood the test and entered there
I'm waiting now with you to share
Dearest Willie, you have left me,
Gone from all earth's toll and pain
Yet l hope some day to greet you
Ia that land where triumphlreigns
Farewell dear Willie, you are at rest
And shall forever be,
You could not live on earth with me
But l can go to thee.
By his loving wife.

The measure introduced into the
Legislature making it misdemeanor
in Virginia to furnish false informa-
ton to newspapers seems to have the
hearty endorsement of the publi-
shers throughout the State. The
crime should be made felony in
stead OF misdemeanor, as the Pub
lie Ledger we'll says, when it is con.
sidered what harm may come not
only to the paper but the readers
thereof.

Delaware is again represented in
the United States Senate and that
body is TO be congratulated that Aj-
dicks is not one of their number. The
people OF Delaware too having es-
capped the disgrace which tie cleo
ton OF such a man would have
brought to them, it is to be hoped,
have been taught lesson which will
make them more careful in the Sc
lection Of men to represent them in
the Legislature in the future. The
fact, that Addicks has scored a partial
triumph in securing place in the
Senate for one of bis lieutenants,
ought to be enough at least to put
them on guard, unless they are in
the market to be debauched by Ad-
dicks money. 1t is enough disgrace,
to have Addicks aspire to seat in
the Senate once filled by the Bay
ards and Saulsburys; the people of
that State surely have too much
pride in their past history, to permit
one who has nothing to offer them
but cash in exchange for their votes.
to represent them in the Senate.
