draught animals.
Horses in harness from twelve to four
teen hours day do not take time to masti-
cate and properly prepare dry oats and
other dry fodder and the result is that
the most of 1t Is expelled from the body
without having been digested or assimi-
lated; therefore, they receive but little
nutritive value from their food. Oats
must be converted into starch, and starch
must be converted into glucose and sugar
before they can possibly be digested and
assimilated. AS our animals, by reason of
fatigue from overwork and excessive hun
ger. do not take time properly to masticate
and salivate their food, it enters their
stomachs in an indigestible condition and
causes fermentation, gastric disturbances
and COLES very frequently.

with cut hay bran and meal in proper
proportions, is in a digestible condition and

better and a more nutritious food than

one hundred horses of Arbuckle's sugar
refinery for nearly two years past, and
have been feeding horses in my hospital on
molasses and have been continually recon-
mending its use in many stables in Brook
Ign during that period. The cost is about
SO per cent. less than the old system of
feeding"
DR.. Berns added that the proportions for
an ordinary express wagon horse. weighing
LOO pounds, were one quart of molasses
and three quarts OF water. mixed with two
quarts of corn meal, four quarts OF bran
and five pounds of cut hay of good quality
The corn meal the bran and the hay were
mixed. the molasses and water were mixed,
and then the solids and the liquids were
mixed together. This mixture should be led
to the horse three times a day, II indoors
but if he is out of doors in the middle CT
the day he should be fed oats in the mid
die of the day.
The doctor maintained that not only was
molasses SO per cent. cheaper than oats,

Paine'sC Celery
Compound
CURES RHEUMATISM.

Rheumatism, which does its terrible work
in the muscles, joints, and tissues, is caused by
uric acid which gathers in the blood. To get
rid of this poisonous acid which produces the
irritations, pains, agonies, infammations, and
swelings peculiar to rheumatism, Paine's
Celery Compound should be used without
delay. No other medicine gives such prompt,
cheering, and happy results. It is the only
medicine that prevents a return of the dreaded
disease. Paine's Celery Compound braces
the nerves, the blood is quickly cleared OF all
irritating poisons, tissue and muscle are built
up, and the digestive organs perfectly toned.
Do not treat with indifference the slightest
rheumatic symptoms; the early use of Paine's
Celery Compound will save you weeks and
months of suffering. Mr.. S. D. Conway,

Paine's Celery Compound after repeated fail

EXPERIMENT STATIONS NEW
FEEDING TEST BULLETIN.
RESULTS NOT ENCOURAGING
Profits Returned Much Smaller Than
Those Realized from Sheep
Experimental With.

Complementary to bulletin No. AZ,
which gives the results of expert
mental sheep feeding at the expert
ment station of the state agricultural
college, is bulletin No. 4S, which con-
tains the results obtained by an ex-
pertinent in steer feeding made by
the station, conducted during the last
winter. -~-. ~"
A synopsis of the bulletin follows:
Fixing Relative Values.
For the past three seasons the Mon
tana experiment station, says the
bulletin, has conducted experiments in
fattening steers, to test the feeding
value of various kinds of Montana fod-
ders. During the past winter a car
load of steers were fed, the object
being to determine the value of differ
emit kinds of grain when fed with clio
yer in fattening steers. The ques-
ton is frequently asked as to the
relative value of oats, wheat, barley,
etc, for fattening animals and this
experiment was planned to throw
some light on the subject.
The "a steers used in the test were
a mixed lot of two and ~three-year-
odds, range stock of probably average
evidences of some little Short Horn
blood. They arrived at the farm
November %. On the 28th one-half
Uf the steers, which were not dehorn-
ed, were driven to a dehorning chute
and the horns sawed off. The wounds
healed rapidly and with no apparent
disadvantage to the steers.
Plan Of Experiment.
The "a steers were divided into four
lots, six steers in each lot. The d.
vision was made as equally as possible,
considering quality and weight. The
lots were fed as follows:
Lot 1. Wheat and clover hay.
Lot 2. Oats and clover hay.
Lot 3. Barley and clover hay.
Lot 4. Wheat, oats and barley mix
ed in equal quantities, by weight, and
clover hay. All the grains were chop
ped.
The experiment started December
1. For the first 10 days clover hay
was fed. We then started to feed the
grain, giving three pounds per day
to each lot, and about one month was
taken to get the steers into a full fec
of five pounds of grain per steer PEE
day. The hay and grain were fer
twice in the day.
The steers were weighed Decembe
l and 8 and again December 10 ant
12, and thereafter every two week
until the close OF the experiment. Th'
average of two days weights wa
taken as the correct weight.
Water was flowing through tn
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1903-11-20

all the lots. The cost of the food for
each steer for Ill days ranged from
$11.47 to $11.95. Lot 1 cost the least
and lot 3 the most. The average cost
for the "a head vas $11.65 each. NJ as,|
After being kept without food or
water for IL hours, the steers shrank
from 3.4 per cent to 4.25 per cent OF
their full weight. The average for
the "a head was 1858 per cent. This
is slightly less than the shrink usual
ly estimated in buying, viz: 4Gper
cent. The returns per head for1the
steers ranged from $49.13 each for
the steers in lot 2 to 1886 for the
steers in lot 4.
Lot 4, the steers fed the mixed grain
ration, returned a profit of $1.19
per steer after paying for the feed; the
only lot that returned any profit. On
lot 2, fed the ration of oats withaclo-
yer, the loss was about 50 on each
steer, on lots l and 3 the loss was 1Oc
for each steer. From a financial point
OF view this looks like rather a poor
showing, yet the experiment is none
the less valuable because of that fact.
1t will, perhaps, better enforce the
lesson that, as a rule, in finishing
steers for the market there has to be
a wider margin of profit between the
buying and selling price than was the
cas- in this instance with Montana
prices for folders. These steers were
bought, on a shrunk weight, at about
3.8 cents per pound and sold for 4
cents per pound, shrunk live weight,
For profit the margin between the
buying and selling price should be
from &c to lie per pound.
There is yet another -compensating
point to consider. The results came
very close to paying market prices
for the hay and grain fed, and i
through his stock the farmer can gel
market prices for his crop on his
farm, both the farm and the farmer
are better off for having them so sold
AT market prices he has the profit:
on his summers harvest, while the ma
nure adds much to the fertility of thu
land.
; Where Profits Come From.
Briefly put, the profit in the fatten
ing of this class of steers is in thu
difference in the buying and selling
price of the original weight of tn
steer and not in any profit on the in
crease in live weight made during
the feeding period. This is illustrate
in the following figures, giving tn

three years in feeding experiments a

Summary and Conclusions.

Summary and Conclusions.
Cd. No one feeding experiment a
definitely answer the question it aims
to solve. The work must be repeated
for some years and under a variety
of conditions. The results here given
are tentative and must wait future
confirmation.
(2). According to this test a mixed
grain ration proved superior to any
one variety of grain. If the feeding
efficiency as to rate of gain for mixed
grain was placed at 100, then wheat
equals 99.5, oats "a and barley equals
S4.5. 80"
(3). From the standpoint of food
eaten for 100 pounds of gain in live
weight, the wheat ration is very
slightly better than the mixed grain,
with oats and barley theesame as on
the basis of rate of gain.
az. For the test period the wheat
was also the cheapest ration, n
pound of gain costing 5 cents On this
ration, while the cost on the mixed
grain ration was So cents; on the bar
ley ration 6.3 cents and on the oats
ration 8 cents per pound of gain.
(5). 1t was noticed that the cattle
tired of the wheat after a couple OF
months feeding and a change was
o0aocooY~ w +o rof tho ucatt1n RI annfinIn
to eat grain. This was true of all the
grains fed, but not to the same ex
tent as with the wheat.
co.. After a gradual change OF the
rations to mixed grain with bran the
cattle ate the mixture with relish
and made the most rapid gains OF the
winter.
ca. The experiments made at the
station for the past three years seem
to show that ON the average the proht
to be made in fattening two to three
year old steers, with Montana prices
for feeding stuffs, must come from ar
increase in the value of the purchased
weight of the steer.

make less important the study OF. the
relative values of feeding rations. II

BETHSAIDA.
a Tale OF the Time OF the Caesars-By
Malcolm Dearborn, Author
OF "Li0neI Ardon."

This story covers an interesting period
that OF the brutal Tiberius Caesar and the
trial and death of Christ. There are two
scenes In which the Saviour figures, as he
presence produces on the two chief per-
sonages OF the story is graphically described.
Inc nero, Arlstarchus, is Roman noble
OF great wealth. His father, Petronius. has
oeen doomed to death by order of Augustus
Caesar, whom he had unintentionailv Of
Tended. On his last night on earth. while
Petronius was looking from the roof of his
palace, he witnessed a strange light in the
heavens. 1t rose. paused, vibrated. then
slowly disappeared in its course towards
While he was still gazing at it. a slave an
proaehes and announces to him the birth of
a son. The Roman marvels, and at once as
soclates the wondrous light in the heavens
with the birth of his SON. The light, of
course, was the star of Bethlehem, pro-
over Petronius' SON makes up the main in
cldents OF the story. That night Petronius
dies by ms own hand to avoid the ignomin-
lous death planned for him by Augustus.
Arlstarchus, grown to manhood, becomes
disguised with the materialism and vapid
luxury OF Rome, and is, moreover, involved
IN quarrel with Tiberius during one of the
latter's drunken orgies. He flies Rome, and
turns Eastward in his course. There he
learns OF the strange fame of the "Naza-
iCHe, "HOm ne IOFWlCn desires to see. bis
wish is granted by a sight of Jesus as he is
being led to execution. The effect upon the
Roman is intense; its revolutionizes his
whole life.
The heroine. Bethsaida, who gives name
to the story. is maiden of humble birth, but
of strange character and commanding beau
ty. Her father has trained her to be dane
ing girl at the court of Plate She, too, sees
Christ as he is being led to death, and the
effect wrought causes her to plan flight
from the influence of Plate and his court.
Chance brings about meeting between her
and Aristarchus, and their mutual expe-
Fences in the encounter with Christ form
bond between the strangely assorted pair,
whose training and environment had been
SO foreign to one another.
The alternate bursts of tyranny and kindli-
ness that distinguish PLATE, whose love for
his wife. Claudia, despite his infidelity to
her. is his one saving trait, make an engag-
ing study. Claudia herself will, doubtless,
appeal to many readers as the most loveable
character in the book. Her justice, religious
sympathy and devotion are we'll depicted.
The tone of the book is that of unquestion-
ing belief in the miraculous birth and mis-
zion of Christ.

be well dissolved before using, advises
Good Health.
Fruit or vegetables canned in tin
cans should be removed from the cans
as soon as opened. If not, the action
