High Feeding UnprofitabIe.

1t has long been practice with enter
prising dairymen to feed their cows q
very heavy grain ration in the belief
that that was profitable method of pro-
cedure. Annually immense sums Of
money have been expended by farmers
in the purchase of high priced grains
and meals to literally pack into their
cows, in the effort to get the most possi-
BILE out of them. 1t was and is blind
way of feeding; but until recently no one
could really say whether it was profit
able or not Three stations at least have
within recent years set themselves the
task of finding out the most profitable
amount of grain to feed. Among these
the Vermont station holds an important
place. A two-years' test there gives al
most startling results, as it evidences
the folly of feeding dairy cows heavy
grain rations when roug is abundant
aud cheap.
Three grain rations were fed; one con-
sisting of four pounds of ground grain; /;
another of eight pounds ofground grain;
and third of twelve pounds of ground
grain. The four-pound ratio was found
to be profitable and on it the cows gave
a comparatively large return for the feed
used. But an increase to eight pounds
did not give commensurate increase OF
dairy products, though there was an in
crease. The increase made from 8 to II
per cent more milk and Is per cent more
butter, but the increase of cost of feed
was 20 per cent. The additional cost
for the year was Sl3.S5 per COW and the
increased yield of butter was worth only
S7.S6. But adding the value of the in
creased skim milk and of the increased
manure gave aggregate receipts of Sl4.ll
over the receipts with the four-pound
grain ration. This left q margin of 26
cents, which would be wiped out if in
terest were charged on the extra invest
ment. Practically therefore there was
no gain in feeding the eight-pound
ration.
But when the eight pounds of grain in
the ration was made twelve pounds the
loss was unmStakaole. The increase in
the amount of milk was not above per
cent and in some cases the cows actually
gave less milk. The butter made in
creased only 8 per cent. The manure
increased in value and that was about
the only gain. The increased feed for
the year cost Sl1.96 per COW, while the
value of the increased butter made was
only Slip. The increased manure and
increased skim milk for the year were
worth $40, leaving net loss per COW of
S6.l4. And this does not include in
terest on the increased investment or
any estimate of the deterioration of the
cows through too heavy feeding.
If the above lesson is taken to heart
by our readers it will save them some
money aud frequently a COW. Some of
our noted cows have been fed much
more than II pounds of grain per day.
We find in our bovine property laws
somewhat similar to those in the inani-
mate world around us. The resistance
of water to a body passing through it in
creases according to the square of the
velocity. Beyond certain point the
use of feed by cows is at an enormous
expense of energy. Evidently the
amount of ground grain that can be fed
to cow profitably is between four and
six pounds. Review.

cred Ogbot, bound hand and foot and
almost dead from loss Of blood. The
clothes Of the American were on the
floor, while his own were missing, gone
with the prisoner.
Ogbot as soon as he was able related
his experience of the night before. II
was while making his rounds at mid
night that he heard means from the
cell. Animated by feeling of pity, he
opened the slab door and asked If he
were Ill. The wretched American was
lying on the bed, apparently suffering
He said something which the guard
could not understand, but which he
took to be plea for assistance. No,
suspecting a trick, the kindly guard
unlocked the second door and stepped
to the bedside only to have the sick
man rise suddenly and deal him q
treacherous blow over the head with
the heavy stool he had secreted behind
him. Ogbot knew nothing of what fol
lowed, so effective was the blow. When
he regained consciousness, he was ~
ing on the bed just as the captain had
found him. The poor fellow, over
whelmed by the enormity Of his mis-
take, begged Dangloss to shoot him al
once. But Dangloss had him conveyed
to the hospital ward and tenderly cared
for.
Three guards in one Of the offices
saw man whom they supposed to be
Ogbot pass from the prison shortly aft
er II, and the mortified chief admitted
that some one had gone through his
private apartment. AS the prisoner
had taken Ogbot's keys. he expert
enced little difficulty in getting outside
the gates. But, vowed Dangloss storm
ily. he should be recaptured II 1t re-
auired the efforts Of all the policemen
in Edelweiss. The chagrin Of the grim
old captain. who had never lost pris
oner. was pitiful to behold.
The forenoon was half over before
Harry Anguish heard of his friends
escape. To say that he was paralyzed
would be putting it much too mildly
There is no language that can ade
auately describe his sensations. For
getting his bodyguard, he tore down
the street toward the prison, wild with
anxiety and doubt. He met Baron Dan
gloss, tired and worn, near the gate
but the old officer could tell him moth
ing except what he had learned from
Ogbot. OF one thing there could be nc
doubt-Lorry was gone. Not knowing
where to turn or what to do, Anguish
raced of to the castle, his bodyguard
having located him in the meantime
He was more In need Of their protec
ton than ever
At the castle gates he encountered
party of raving Axphainians, crazed
with anger. over the flight Of the mar
whose life they had thirsted for &C
ravenously. Had he been unprotected
Anguish would have Jared badly al
their hands. for they were outspoker
In their assertions that he had aided
Lorry in the escape. One fiery little
fellow cast a glove In the Americana
face and expected a challenge. An
guish snapped his fingers and sarcas
tically invited the insulter to meet hin

was the cry that spread
through Edelweiss the next
morning.
It brought undisguised relief to the
faces of thousands. There was not one
who upbraided Baron Dangloss for his
astounding negligence. Never before
had a criminal escaped from the tow
er. The only excuse, uttered In woe,
begone tone. was that the prison had
not been constructed or manned for
such clever scoundrels as Yankees

The full story Of the daring break

Baron Dangloss himself had gone to
the prisoners cell early in the morning,
mystified by the continued absence OF
the guard. The door was locked, but

Alarmed at once. the captain procured
duplicate keys and entered the cell.
