FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.
vetch, Cow Pea and Soy Bean Hay
as Substitutes for Wheat Bran
for Dairy Cows.

The following is a summary of Bull
letin No. 1913 Of the Alabama expert
ment station:
1.-THE object of the feeding expert
ments herein described was to ascer-
tain whether hay made from hairy
vetch, cow-peas and soy-beans could
be advantageously substituted for
most of the wheat bran in the ration
of dairy cows.
"The following values to the ton
were used in calculating 1.-THE cost of
food: Wheat bran, $50; vetch hay,
$40; cow-pea hay, SO; cotton seed,
SIP; cotton seed meal, $40; cotton
reed hulls. IS.
"vetch hay proved fully equal In
feeding value to similar weight of
wheat bran. By this substitution the
cost of the food required to make a
pound of butter was reduced Is per
cent, which is equivalent to a month
~ saving of 5000 in herd OF 20
cows.
with the vetch ration the cost of
food for one pound of butter av-
eraged ten cents in contrast with
thirteen and four-tenths when bran
was fed.
1.-THE waste in feeding vetch hay
was with most cows about 6 per cent.
of the amount offered, and with cow
pea hay about 16 per cent; the latter
residue, being useless, is charged as
a part of the ration.
"That portion of the cow-pea hay
actually eaten proved fully equal in
feeding value to similar weight of
wheat bran. Charging the cows with
all the ,cow-pea hay offered them, we
find that cow-pea hay had sc per cent.
Of the feeding value Of wheat bran,
one ton OF this hay being equal to
1,72o pounds of bran.
"When wheat bran was worth $40
ton, cow-pea hay was worth $17.2O,
and vetch hay SEQ.
1.-THE monthly profits on a COW
were $4.65 on the vetch ration, and
$4.35 cents on the cow-pea ration.
zone of. the Jersey cows used in
this test produced butter as a cost
for food of only eight and one-third
cents pound when fed on the vetch
ration.
Running cow-pea hay through .
feed cutter did not decrease the waste
in feeding this food.
-Four and one-half per cent. more
butter was produced with soy-bean
hay than with cow-pea hay, it we take
account of the portion of each actu-
ally eaten; however, a larger proper
ton Of the coarse stems of the soy
bean hay was uneaten.
"When corn-hearts were substitute
ed for wheat bran, the yield OF but
ter was increased by eight per cent"

FARMER AND PLANTER.
DEATH TO SAN JOSE SCALE.
Unique Industry Pursued in Georgia
-"Lady Bugs" Bred In the I'm.
tercst OF Peach Growers.

State Entomologist w. M. Scott, OF
Georgia, who, in addition to inspect
ing the various orchards of the state
and to keeping in touch with all the
fruit growers of Georgia, is expected
to kill all the bugs which might In
jure the fruit interests, has been vio-
lating the law to some extent of late
by raising, actually raising a colony
of bugs down near Marshallville. But
it must be stated that the bugs are OF
the kind that will destroy the San
Jose scale, a dreaded disease among
peach trees, and if the plans OF the
entomologist meet with success he
Will be hero in the eyes of the or
chard owners.
About year ago the United States
government presented Mr.. Scott with
twenty small insects known as the
A.iatic lady bug. 1t was said to be an
insect, imported from Asia by the
United States department OF agricul-
ture, and was guaranteed to kill the
San Jose scale rapidly, provided, OF
course, there were sufficient num-
ber of bugs. They were discovered
by one of the government entomolo-
gists several years ago, and by being
very careful he managed to bring sew
eral pairs to this country. These pairs
multiplied, and last year the govern
ment furnished several of the south
ern states with twenty bugs each.
Entomologist Scott determined to
try the scheme and he took the bugs
sent him to Marshallville, placed them
In wire cage built around a peach
tree which was infected with the San
Jose scale, and now the state of
Georgia owns some 10000 of the scale
killers. Mr.. Scott is very pround of,
his colony and says he will in a short
time be enabled to furnish every fruit
grower in Georgia with a supply.
Where the bugs have had an oppor-
tunity to get after the scale they have
almost annihilated it, and it is be-
lieved that if the multiplication of the
insects continues, the San Jose scale
will be effectually checked in Georgia
before many years.
For some time past the scale has
been playing havoc with the peach
trees in the state and thousands of
trees have been completely killed or
dug up as a result of the dreaded dis
ease. Since the appearance of the
bug from Asia, however! strong hopes
have arisen with Entomologist Scott
and he now dreams Of the time when
there will be no scale in Georgia and
he will find it necessary to begin an
determination of the bugs instead of
the scale. The bugs are said to be
much better for the San Jose scale
than the kerosene spray and all other
remedies combined, and now that the
colony of insects is in such a thriving
condition, Mr.. Scott, who usually
wears large smile, now has a larger
one than ever before, and in fact, he
has been in such jolly humor for the
past two months that his friends at
the capital are wondering if he hasn't
been willed two or three million dol
lars by some distant relative.

Travel In new York City.

In New York city last year the sur
face and elevated lines carried about
twice as many passengers as were car
ried by all the steam railways OF the
United States combined. The number
of passengers in New York was about
1,20O, 0OO, 900. Of whom the surface rail-
ways carried about 80 per cent. Last
year the people Of New York paid out
for rides upon the surface and elevated
lines the snug sum Of $4,000, 900, or
about one-eighth the gross passenger
earnings Of all the steam railways in
the country.

letting their work push them. And
then there are still few who will
not even permit themselves to be
pushed.
The kind of farming done fairly II
lust-ates the kind Of farmer. There is
no salvation for the man who is too
lazy to farm; and there is little hope
for the farmer who is SO deficient in
planning capacity as to let his work
push him. To be sure, there are times
when the season seems to be against
the intelligent, pushing farmer; but
ordinarily executive ability will tell
against any form Of obstacle. Many
farmer works too hard with his
hands and far to little with his head
You have known hundreds of such.
They stick to their farms and old
and antiquated methods. They do not
know why some of their neighbors
are up-to-date and thrifty. They do
not see the need Of improvement in
culture and in stock. They are
strangers to good agricultural jour
nalism and experimental station
work. They simply drive on, gaining
as little for their physical effort as
they annually learn.
But heaven pity the farmer who
frets, Fretting betrays want o.
confidence in his own intelligence; 1t
questions the power of the arm up
on which the reason relies. More
over it poisons the man himself and
renders him unfit for association with
his kind. He blights the happiness OF
his own family and even breaks his
relation with his dumb brutes. Hap
DIV is the farmer whose knowledge is
wide, whose confidence in his ability
to execte the mandate of reason Is
equalt to any emergency and whose pa
thence never forsakes him. Not only
his children, but also his neighbors
will rise up and call him blessed

1t is not necessary to offset the sug-
gestion of Gen. Miles as a presidential
or vice presidential candidate with his
record as to Jefferson Davis. This is
a matter entirely foreign to the ques-
ton. Miles is simply a splendid fighter
in the field, a sort of Joe" Hooker,
but he has never, under any circum-
stances, displayed the qualities of a
commanding general or statesman.
Aside from his fighting qualities, he is
an egotistical "chump." All this talk
about Roosevelt prosecuting him is the
merest bosh. Mckinley sized him up
as soon as he became the so-called
commanding general of the army,
and found him so far wanting" in
ability and popularity, that he was
compelled to curtail his authority and
entrust to other and ADLER hands a great
deal of the work that Miles should
have done. This statement admits of
no denial.

Now, as to the retirement of Gen.
Miles without a AUDITORY order. CIeve-
land gave such an one to Gen. Scho-
field when he retired, but why did he
do it? Not because Schofeld was
good soldier in the Civil War, or in
the years following. 1t was because
he had made a most admira BILE record
as lieutenant general from which po-
sition he was then retiring. The Unit
ed States army has never had in it's
ranks a more scholarly, dignified or
efficient officer than Gen. Schofield, and
in his quiet modest career since re-
firing, he has shown the nobility and
sterling virtues of his character He,
unlike Miles, had commanded armies
in the war and important districts dur
ing the war and soon after, in which
positions craftsmanship, legal knowl-
edge and good judgment were required.
And he had been a secretary of war.
To compare Miles to him is to COM
pare a pgmy to a giant. Sherman con-
sidered Schofield one of the most ae-
complished officers ever graduated at
West Point and when he retired from
office he carried with him the respect
and esteem of his subordinates and SUI
periors.
