stated that he was only brought iQ

stated that four years ago, he was

The hnma of Storms.

The waters OF Cape Horn have never
been unYisited by storms for more
than a week or two at a stretch within
the memory Of man. Standing on the
outposts Of the world, Cape Horn Is
the meeting place Of currents OF
very different temperature, from the
icy cold waters Of the Antarctic drift to
the warmth OF the Brazilian and Pc
ruvian return currents.
The prevailing winds are from the
northwest and west, and these, COM
ing from the warm regions of the Pa
cifc, condense into fogs, which the
sailors call Cape Horn blankets and
which are the forerunners OF storms.
The extremely low level to which the
glaciers Of TERRA del Fuego descend,
the perpetual congelation of the sub
soil, the meeting Of conflicting winds
at very different temperatures, are all
direct o r indirect causes combining to
make this the most constantly stormy
region OF the world.

OATS FOR HORSES.
Comparative Value of Heavy and
Light Grain.

Comparative Value of Heavy and
Light Grain.
T. W. Taylor of the New Hampshire
experiment station has been investigat-
ing the comparative value of light and
heavy oats for draft animals. Three
pairs of work horses Of Percheron
blood were used in the tesS one in
each lot being fed heavy oats for thir-
ty days and the others light oats. Dur.
ing an additional period of thirty days
the conditions. were reversed. In ev-
cry case sixteen pounds of the oats
that is five pounds in the morning, five
pounds at noon and six pounds at night
were fed with mixed hay of average
quality ad libitum. All the horses
were used for farm work, requiring
average exertion and endurance. AS
shown by weighings taken twice a
week, n horse lost on both light and
heavy oats, five gained on heavy oats
and four gained on light oats. The to-
tai gain or loss in any case was not
material. The practical results of this
experiment seem to indicate that
pound for pound, the light oats have
nearly the same feeding value as the
heavy oats.

Two young men, James Esk-

They had on May 2nd, hired
team of horses and buggy OF
Herbert Austin, a liveryman at
Culver, and went driving with
the same. 1t was presumed that
the youths INDUCED too deeply
in alcoholics, for in some way
the outfit got away from the
young men and ran away. The
team was found the next day~in
a marsh over in Starke county
and both horses were stark
dead. Charges were brought
against both of the boys, and
they were taken in custody by
Constable Miles Tuesday Both
entered plea of guilty to the
charge and were fined So and
