We occupied a six-berth cabin in

on the road to London. The I'VE"

Italian and two Australians, and Of the
latter was the least important. My

Black Hulless third with 44.9 bushels.
The last mentioned variety is the

be the best of those tried, the lambs
making gain of ia pounds per head
in Ia weeks, against 2S.6 pounds made
by the lot on alfalfa hay and corn. The
present experiment with 40 lambs in
each lot shows an average gain OF
20.3 pounds in IA weeks by the lambs
on native hay, oats, and oil meal. and
s1.3 pounds by the lambs on alfalfa
hay and corn.
The amount of feed required was
GOT pounds of native hay, 460 pounds
of oats, and 25 pounds of oil meal for

experiment STA pounds of hay, SOL
pounds of oats, and Sc pounds of oil

Wild sweet clover is common along

will eat the growing plant if it is

periment here reported shows that

EXPERIMENT IN LAMB FEEDING

and showed steady appetite for It.
There was not the slightest difficulty
in getting them to eat it at the start.
The lambs eating pea hay made the
low gain of 1863 pounds per head In
II weeks. It required 1,472 pounds OF
the hay to produce 100 pounds gain
in live weight. This poor showing for
pea hay is borne out by the results
gotten with Lot 10, which contained
q very different class of lambs and
was not carried on in comparison with
Lot 6, but which shows still poorer
gain of only 5.S pounds per head in
IA weeks.
The pea hay seemed very unsatisfac-
tory, and while nothing is definitely

that it gives unsatisfactory results for

LITTLE JIMMIE HoRE.

1t is with feelings of profound regret
and deep sympathy for the bereaved
ones that we are called upon to chron-
icle the sad and untimely death Of little
Jimmie Hore. A fragrant bud Of baby
hood just blossoming into the flower of
childhood, when the world seems
brightest and the sunshine the sweetest
to childish prattles and childish glee,
his spirit has been called from the
household of love and endearment, from
the tender care and solicitude Of low
ing father and mother, sisters and
brothers, to the Throne of Grace in
Heaven above.
Little Jimmie was the youngest son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Hore OF DeLamar,
and at the time of his death, which oc-
CURED on Friday, September 8, he was
2 years old. His ailment was bowel
complaint, of which he had been suf-
ferer for some little time.
The funeral services were conducted
at the family home Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock, and the remains of the baby
boy were tenderly laid to rest by loving
hands in the cemetery at DeLamar.
The casket WAS covered and hand
somely decorated with beautiful
wreaths OF flowers, brought in by the
good ladies of DeLamar and Silver
City, which lent picture of enchant-
ment and loveliness to the happy ex.
