MOLASSES AS STOCK FOOD.

The first suggestion of the use OF
klolaSses as a stock food was made
Ey Hermstadt in 1911. The first rec
orded ration was used in 1880 and
consisted of chopped straw and 22O
pounds of molasses per day for 2,OeO
sheep, eighty lead Of cattle and twen-
ty horses. In 1850, rations mentioned
by Stockhardt, Henneburg and Stoh-
man consisted Of molasses. oat-straw
and hay. They limited the amount of
molasses to pounds per 1000 pounds
live weight OF the animal fed. By
1860 the use of molasses became quite
general in Germany, France and Rus
STA, and by 1870 its use had spread
to England. Owing to the cost OF
mIolasses and the variability of the
product. the demand for it did not
increase rapidly until about 1890,
when the increased production caused
a marked decrease in price. 1t is
Estimated that now about one-third OF
the molasses produced in Europe is
used as forage for stock. 1t is fed
directly to cattle, but usually diluted
and absorbed on cut straw, hay and
cereal waste or peat In Louisiana
and Texas when feeding .molasses
about five pounds per day is used for
cattle, and about twelve pounds for
mules. This is mixed with hay and
grain or sprinkled on cane tops. The
amount Of the other feeds reeds re-
CURED is considerably diminished by
the use of molasses.-Queensla

ture Regulated by Moisture.
Psychologists tell us that the animal
body consists Of almost 80 per cent.
of water. Admitting this to be true.
1t would seem plausible. says the
Medical Record, that this quantity is
necessary in order to carry on the
normal physiological processes of
the animal economy in proper con.
ditio3.
For similar reasons 1t would also
appear plausible that should this
quantity in any way be greatly re-
duced or diminished, either through
normal proce sses OF the body or
through abnormal processes. this
lost quantity must Immediately be re-
supplied. Should such a withdrawal
of water be permitted to be unduly
prolonged the disorders will assume
such grave dimensions that life it.
self may ultimately be terminated.
Elasticity and pliability of muscles,
nerves, cartilage, tendors and even
bones depend mainly no the amount
OF water they contain. Water also
serves as a distributor OF bodily heat
and regulates the body temperature
by the physical process of absorption
and elimination.
Under normal conditions and in Q
proper degree of health this supply
is ordinarily furnished partly by the
food and partly by the drink we are
daily consuming. An overindulgence
in the use of water-provided it Is
not carried to excess-will seldom IL
ever be productive of any deleterious
consequences

SHEEP PAID BETTER THAN
GOATS.


The relative profits derived from
the Angora goat as compared to sheep
has been shown in this section by
E. NJ. Tillingffast, one of the Til
linghast brothers, wac own a large
tract, composed of abandoned farms
purchased by them for game and fish
preserves, etc. They purchased a
flock Of eighty goats some eight years
ago, and nearly the same number of
sheep and fed them alike, giving them
the same shelter and care.
From the first It was evident that
the goat was the loser, while the
sheep were self supporting, with a
fair margin Of profit.
The Angora goat would eat the bark
from every fruit tree and shrub as
far as they could reach, while the
sheep would not injure tree OF any
kind. While comparing the fleece,
the goats would average about PIP
pounds apiece, while the sheep cut
about four pounds, and in cold or wet
weather the goats had to be housed,
as their fleece would absorb water
and give no protection to their bodies,
while the sheep would not mind the
weather but would thrive and fatten.
while the goat would SILVER and lose
flesh. The Angora for a curiosity is
all very well, but as a profitable in
vestment is a failue in this latitude,
both for flesh and fleece. A. G., in
the American Cultivator.
KEEP THE GRINDSTONE TRUE.
The average grindstone on the
iarm sees pretty tough times. The
softer the stone, the harder usage it
receives. Its lot is almost as hard as
that of the hoy on the farm" who
has to turn it by the hour. the
grinding surface of the stone is more
apt to be cencave than it is to have
an even face, or slightly beveled sur
face. The concave condition comes
from grinding axes, scythes. machine
knives, ETC., with their edges length
wise of the stone instead of across
1t. This cannot be helped in grinding
some tools. But when the stone does
assume this shape, making it i'm
possible to grind a chisel, or any fiat
edged tool decently, it is a good time
to get a spade or two-spades are
usually dull-and hold them ON the
stone until it Is sharp, when the irreg-
ularities in the surface of the stone
will have disappeared.
A grindstone, by the way. should
never be left exposed to the sun.
The weight of the handle will always
cause enc portion of the stone to
remain uppermost, and this from ex-
posure will reach a different degree
Of hardness from the under side, so
that after while the stone will be
ground out of a circle. If the stone
has to stand in the open, a fiat box
can easily be obtained to serve as a
cover-Guy E. Mitchell, in the Farm
ers' Home Journal.

G. U. Basket Ball Five Have a
Hard Game Ahead.

Great disappointment is felt at George
town University over FOrdham's calling
off the basket ball game TO have been
played at Convention Hall last night. The
game was to decide the championship title
of the Eastern Catholic Colleges. as
Georgetown had won and lost one game
to Fordham this year and Fordham had
once trounced Holy Cross. Although
Georgetown decisively beat Fordham at
Washington. Fordham barely won from
it's southern rival by one goal at New
York. and the third contest of the series
would have brought out a big crowd.
Fordham's reason for canceling was that
of faculty restrictions.
But the Georgetown management an
nounceS that the University of Pennsyl-
vania will send it's crack basket ball five
to Washington early this month to play
an exhibition game with Georgetown at
Convention Hall. Penn has already been
conceded the college championship for
1903. having defeated the best teams of
the colleges and not having suffered de-
feat this season.
The Georgetown five. realizing the hard
task before them. are hard at work get
ting ready for this game and many stu
dents are confident of the Blue and Gray S
ability not only to put up a good game
against the Red and Blue, but to defeat
them. Two stars of the team, Capt. Dow
ney and Bill Rice, guards. are at present
in poor condition. as they are recovering
from illness but they hope to be on hand
this week and Coach Maurice Joyce will
leave no stone unturned In efforts to have
his men in the best condition by the time
Of the game. This will be Georgetown's
last game of the season and the last inn
portant basket ball contest of the local
season.

CONTAINS SEVEN GAMES.
Foot Ball Schedule of Western Con.
ference Colleges.

CHICAGO, ILL.,. February 29.-The foot
ball schedule of the western conference
colleges ior next fall will contain seven
games The deciding vote on the question
was cast today by the board of athletic
control of the University of Chicago in
favor of the longer schedule. a two-thirds
ma jority of the conference colleges being
necessary and five of the other eight COL
leges having already voted for seven
games. There is, however, a compromis-
Ing provision in today's action which is,
THAT the board consents to a schedule
of seven games next year only with the
that the schedule revert
hereafter to five games. and with the
further understanding that any confer
ence college may play less than the sched-
ule number.
Another important point established by
tIl, board Of control today is that Chi
caso will play only six games next fall.
It is thought that today's action probably
means that one of the big eastern teams
will play on Marshall Field next fall.
