The cruiser Charleston and the
gunboat Yorktown arrived down the
river from Portland on Sunday even
ing last and drew an immense crowd
of sightseers to the various docks OF
the city. The pilot in charge OF the
bigger ship did the usual paltry stunt
of leaving the fine ship at anchorage
that denied the people OF this city
even a glimpse of her, save when she
left for the lower harbor and Captain
Dan McVicar swung her in along the
piers as close as he dared, and gave
everybody a fair show to witness her
fine proportions and to hear her
splendid band as it played all the way
down. The river pilot that does this
mean little job every time he handles
one OF these craft should remember
that these ships belong to the whole
people and that they have right to
the best "look-in" they can get when
an opportunity offers. Certain OF the
bar pilots are very frank to say that
the claim that Tongue Point water
is the only safe anchorage for YES
sells of this class, is all rot, and that
they may easily left, in safety, IN
the channel waters down opposite the
city. At all events there is a good
deal of feeling here about the way
this business is done to the constant
deprivation of the populace here. The
Charleston and the Yorktown went

HINTS FOR FARMERS
MoIasses Feeds,

A number OF molasses feeds were
tried at the Massachusetts experiment
station the past year and are the sub
ject of special bulletin. The experi-
ments seem to have been largely with
feeds made of molasses and ground
grain. with no trial Of those made OF
moasses and beet pulp or molasses
and distillers' grains.
The common molasses feeds are
found to contain about the same COM
position as wheat, bran or middllngs
and produce somewhere near the same
results Some kinds OF the. feeds con-
tain whole weed seeds, which are OF
course objectionable. II Is found that
digestlble organic matter In mofasses
feeds cost about the same as In home
mixed feeds.
The best effects OF molasses and mo-
asses feeds seem to have been OBJ
talned MS tonic and appetizer, espe-
cally for horses. and with good results
also FOR cows and pigs. In feeding to
dairy cows good results were obtained
with n combination of n ration Of soy
