the superintendent: "allow me to DEM

Composition of Wheat Bran.


In Massachusetts State report
notes are given ON the composition. di-
gestibiliry and fertilizing ingredients of
wheat bran, as compared with other
concentrated feeding stuffs, and two
feeding experiments with cows are re-
ported in Massachusetts State re-
porI by j. b. Lindsey.
The roughage in the two rations
compared consisted of hay and silage
and the grain feed Of cotton-seed meal
and -four middlings. To this was add
ed either bran or silage with corn meal
or corn-and-cob meal. In one of the
experiments the results were slightly
in favor of the bran ration, while in
the other the s0-called silage ration
gave the best results.
The author concludes that for small
herds the quantity of purchased grain
may be reduced TO three or four pounds
in r 've of wheat bran. 1t is suggest
ed that he grain mixture may consist
Of one and one-half pounds of cotton
seed meal, two pounds of -four mid
ding and two and one-half TO three
pounds corn meal or corn-and-cob meal.
Malt sprouts may be substituted for
the wheat, oats or rye middlings.
Where the feeding cannot be closely
supervised and where it is desired to
feed more than five to seven pounds Of
grain daily, it is considered advisable
that the grain mixtures should consist
or one-third to one-half of wheat bran.

Raising Camphor in FIoriea.

Secretary James Wilson of the De
partment of Agriculture, in a recent
address delivered before the Americas
Club of Pittsburg, declared that the
United States was successfully expert
menting in the production of camphor.
He said, in part:
For years the department. has been
distributing camphor tree seed. and
thousands of trees are now growing
throughout the South and in the Pa
cific Coast States. Two years ago a
serious effort was made to develop the
manufacture of camphor from these
trees.
by improvements in manufacturing
proce sses satisfactory results have
been accomplished, and large manu-
featuring concern is now building up
a camphor grove of 1900 acres in
Florida, from, which it hopes to make
its camphor. This firm uses more than
100000 worth of camphor every year.

Farm Wood Lots.

Throughout a very large portion OF
the United States nearly every farm
has a certain part of its area under
wood, either planted, as in regions
otherwise treeless, or OF natural
growth. The value of this wooded por-
ton, besides affording protection from
the wind. is chiefly for fuel, fencing
and railroad ties, with some building
material and the wood needed for spe-
cial uses about the farm. Without the
wood lot the farm very often would be
an Improbable investment, because the
farmer could not afford to buy the
wood which now costs him very little
except the labor of cutting and moving
il, but In the majority of cases this
part of the farm is far less useful than
it might easily be made. This is true
because the farmer does not study its
productive capacity as he does that Of
his fields and pastures, and hence does
not make it yield as fully as he might,
with little or no additional labor If ne
went about it in the right way.-Gif-
ford Pinchot.

1t is not generally known that bees
are swifter in flight than pigeons-that
is. for short distances. Some years
ago a pigeon fancier at Hamme, West
phalia. laid wager that a dozen bees
liberated three miles from their hives
would reach home in less time than
dozen pigeons. The competitors were
given wing at Rybern, village nearly

Tn Cure Wrinkles.

Women have been known to try many
nostrums to cure wrinkles. but they

The above table based upon ten

der TO determine whether it will b.
profitable to grind or not to grind all
our readers have to do Is to ascertain
whether a brshel OF corn can be ground
for the price mentioned in the second
column showing the amount saved by
grinding. IT, for instance, a bushel of
COIH Cuu ne STouHu TOT 10 cent. and
corn Is worth 30 cents per bushel. a
saving of g cent per bushel will be eff

grinding.
There are other conditions that NAV
enter into the question of grinding.
Hogs will eat more ground corn thar
shelled corn and consequently can be
finished for the market in shorter time
when ground corn is fed than when
whole grain is used.
There are times when It Is very de.
