Central's Relay.

Centrals Relay.
Trials for a relay to represent the o
street institution this season will be
run off in the near future and will
most likely be picked from the follow
ing men: Cheney, Zeh, Richardson, Lam
caster, and a few more men who have
been showing form in the 440.
Coach Foley will enter men in the
Jacob Tome meet, which will be pulled
off the first week in May. and expects
to enter a team capable of uphOlding
the excellent reputation Central has
for being a strong contender for first
honors in this annual affair Last sea
son the Blue and White runners copped
the banner, and it is hoped by the trac k
management that this years team will
repeat the performance. but 1t is doubt
full, as the team is far below the stand
ard of last years aggregation. That
CentraIS track athletes have name
in the college world is proven by the
fact that Mr.. Foley has recently re-
ceived his third invitation in the past
three years to send few of the Blu :
and White track athletes to participate e
in the annual Yale meet, which Is
scheduled TO take place early in May.
1t is not known at present whether
this invitation will be accepted or not,
but If arrangements can be brought
about without much Inconvenience,
prospects of few Central runners en-
tering this meet are very encouraging.
Immediately after the weather moderates
the team will continue the interclass $
meets, which have been held indoors all
winter, out of doors, and excellent re-
suits are predicted to be obtained. rs
the experience gained In matched COM
petition acomplishes much toward de
velOping the novice runner to his best
form. Besides entering few more of
the out-of-town meets. dual meet
with Episcopal High School will also In
all probability be arranged, as it is the
intention of both schools to establish
this AS an annual meet 1t has always
proven to be very interesting, owing
to the fact that the track teams that
usually represent these two schools al Q
pretty evenly matched.
1t is not the writer's intention to give
out the idea that Central is either veal;
or strong in track athletics this season.
but to establish the fact that the team
is somewhat off the color of the track
Blue and White on the cinder path t,r
the past few years. This school has
an enviab1e record in this branch Of
athletics. and some of the best track
men in the country have indirectly been
developed while attending the o street
Institution. At present there are but
few men training that are up to the
standard of the average track athlete
that has been bringing fame to this
school for the past years, the rest Of
the team being composed of promising
novices. This gives the other high
schools the chance OF robbing Central
Of the much coveted title of the cham
pionship. and as the other high schools
are taking up track work with consId-
erable interest. it looks like a far moro
interesting competition for first honors
than has been witnessed for several
years. Anyway. it will not be a walk
away like took place last year, ana
every point gives promise of being
fought for in the spring meet of 1893.

FEEDING VALUE OF CORN.
Difference Found Between the Dent
and Flint Varieties.

In the feeding of corn there has been
exhibited by experimental work the nu-
tritive value of the dent and flint va
rieties and this difference seems to be
distinguishakie. They both seem to
give returns equal in the feed lot, while
other analysis shows flint corn to be
slightly richer In protein. At times
there has been a great deal Of contro-
versy over the difference in value OF
the white and yellow varieties, but so
far as experimental feeding Is con-
cerned no difference has been found
in their value for feeding stock.
Sweet corn has a higher feeding
value than any Of the other varieties,
as 1t is not only richer in protein, but
very decidedly so in fat. The very &C.
copied opinion among feeders Is that
new corn does not have the feeding
value of old corn that has been cared
for. This is easily understood be-
cause OF the decrease in moisture
which takes place during the storage
of the grain. There Is. no doubt, quite
q difference in the taste Of corn, this
undoubtedly is as apparent to the
stock that eats II as 1t is to ourselves.
A well preserved sample Of corn has a
more or less flinty texture and is espe-
cially rich in what might be termed a
nutty flavor. This kind Of corn comes
only from a crop that has been fully
matured and well preserved.
In reference to cornmeai appear
ances do not always give the actual
condition of the product. 1t may vary
a great deal in taste, as 1t Is liable
under circumstances to become rancid.
Corn and cob meal has its highest
value when It is ground fine. II too
coarse it is not likely TO be as easily
digested as that OF fine texture.
Thus 1t goes through all the lists OF
feeds with which the farmer has to
deal. Experience in the appearance
and the selection is worth good deal
to the feeder.

Exercise for Pics.

Exercise for the pigs is very i'm
portant. To confine them in a small
pen during the winter is to fail in al
most every instance. Their nest may
be small. In fact it should be small
enough SO that 1t will be kept warm
by the heat of their bodies, but they
must have opportunity to run about.
Exercise develops the muscles, keeps
up the appetite, and goes as far as
any one thing in promoting the health

capacity.

old, a manufacturing jeweler, has
compiled an exhaustive history Of the
bell. He loves the relic as he would
q child of his own and Is familiar
with its every movement.
1T cracked in 1885 when tolling for
the funeral of Chief Justice Marshall"
he says. This crack began at the
LID of the bell, and extended toward
the crown, distance Of 20 inches.
But gradually the original crack
has heightened, until now 1t Is As inch
es long. Although no measurements
were taken after each trip Of the bell,
It is q fact that the crack has grown
on every occasion, and who knows
when It will split In two parts?
when you ask me whether other
trips might split the bell in half ! can
only say that the motion Of the mole
cules in the metal of the bell changes
under irregular percussion and alters
the metal from its cohesive character
to a granular character. Should this
alteration take place the bell might
split"
The bell has made these trips to 9TH
er points:
On September IS. 1777. It was taken
to Allent .wn to escape capture when
the British invaded this city.
In 1885 It went to the Worlds In
dustrial Cotton exposition in New Or
leans.
In 1893 II journeyed TO Chicago on
the occasion Of the Worlds Columbian
exposition -.
In 1895 It was exhibited in Atlanta
at the Cotton States and Atlanta ex.
position.
In 1902 It went to Charleston, where
the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian exposition was held.
In 1908 II was sent to Boston on the
occasion of the one hundred and
twenty-eIghth anniversary Of the bat
tie OF Bunker Hill

OATS VARY IN WEIGHT.
Lighter They Are the Less Their Nu-
trltlve Value.

The difference In the weight per
measured bushel OF oats In various
parts of this continent Is very marked.
In some instances the weight runs
down TO "a pounds. In other instances
II runs up to so pounds. The feed
Ing value, therefore. will be affected
somewhat proportionately. The legal
weight OF q bushel OF oats In
most OF the states Ia 80 pounds.
In Canada II is "a pounds. In
Maryland Il is only 20 pounds, and
In some OF the eastern states II Is 80
pounds.
The weight of oats is affected by
variety, by the weather and by the ell
mate. says Prof. Shaw, in Orange Judd
Farmer. As q rule, the larger and
plumper the grains, the more heavily
will the oats weigh. When the wealth
err is such as TO produce an excessive
amount OF growth Of straw, the weight
Of the grain suffers accordingly. When
II produces an insufficient amount OF
straw, the quality of the grain Is again
affected, adversely. When the wealth
err induces rust in the straw, there Is
q corresponding shrinkage in the grain
In size and In weight.
The greatest influence, however. Is
that of weather. Cool temperatures
at harvest time, which ripen the grain
very slowly, are favorable to the pro-
duction OF heavy kernels and plump
grain. This explains why It is that oats
are usually heavier in the Canadian
northwest and in the American north
west, also, than in states farther south.
Il also explains why in the southern
states oats, as a rule, weigh lightly.
The difference in the feeding value
Of oats is very considerable. II would
not be correct to say that the diner
snce is exactly proportionate to the
difference In the weight of the grain.
Il is correct to say, however, that the
difference is very marked when the
oats are dealt out TO animals by
measure.

In the very heart OF North America.
