ECONOMICAL BEEF FEEDING.

The Nebraska state experiment sta
ton at Lincoln published the middle
of December bulletin on Economical
Beef Production" which contains Il
number of suggestions which should
be valuable to feeders of beef cattle
AS result of a number of carefully
conducted feeding tests it was found
that old process linseed meal coarsely
ground had a slightly higher feeding
value than cottonseed meal. while Ell
Their of these feeds was considerably
better than wheat bran as a protein
concentrate. One experiment showed
that cold pressed cottonseed cake fed
with corn and corn stover gave larger
daily gains than any other combina-
ton of foods used. The results In
three experiments made showed that
beef could be produced more cheaply
by the use of alfalfa in connection
with corn than by the use of any Of
the three concentrates-linseed meal,
cottonseed meal or bran-when the
roughage consisted of prairie hay. The
conclusions derived from some other
feeding tests showed that with corn
at from 35 to 80 cents per bushel and
alfalfa hay at 81 per ton or lower less
than a full feed of corn--from four
teen to eighteen pOunds-was a more
economical ration than when a full
feed was used and that if corn was
worth from 30 to GO cents per bushel
it was more economical to reduce the
corn ration to n half feed. or from ten
to twelve pounds. a comparison of
the quarters after the animals were
slaughtered showed that the groups
fed on alfalfa gave Il better quality of
meat. as shown in the color. marbling
etc.

A LIMITED PARCELS POST.

The demand on the part of the peo-
pie of the country for what is known
MS a limited parcels post is increasing,
and there seems to be little question
that in the near future congress will
pass such legislation as will put it
into operation. These systems of pack
age delivery by mail have been in
vogue in some European countries for
more than a hundred years, hence are
not sociaistic. Gtopian or untried in
eminently successful and above every
thing satisfactory and great con
venience to people living in country
districts. The postmaster general has
recommended limited parcels post
which would make low rates for the
distribution Of parcels from towns and
cities over local rural routes. 1t is
contended, and the point is we'll taken,
that the average rural carrier handles
less than forty pounds of mail matter
daily when even with his light wagon
he could easily take care of several
times this amount not only increasing
greatly the revenues of the postoffice
department, but ministering largely to
the needs and convenience of the pa
irons along his route. The opponents
of parcels posts in any form seem to
be the country merchants, who fear
still further inroads into their terri
tory by the catalogue houses and the
express companies. which are annually
shippers of the country in the shape of
discriminatory and exorbitant rates
lnasmuch. however, as some country
merchants are buying catalogue house
stuff and putting it on their own
shelves, the position which they take
in the matter is hardly consistent The
live merchant does not greatly fear
catalogue house competition. and the
dead or moribund merchant who is al
ready hanging on the ragged edge will
drop out sooner or later anyway. This
matter of home trading is good deal
of fiction. and with no class is it a
bigger joke than with merchants in
their relation one to another. As the
postal laws are now, with agreements
at present in force with foreign coun-
tries, one can send a package to a rela.
tive in Europe as cheaply as he can te
friend in the next state or county
The inequality is manifest and one
that bids fair to be righted

CORNWALL.

The many friends of Miss Maud Park
hill are pleased to learn that she has been
moved to the home of Mrs. Eugene
Twitchell in Middlebury, hoping that the
constant care and skilled nursing she
will receive may hasten her recovery to
usual health and vigor. Miss Parkhill is
young lady who has been missed for
many months from church activities,
and social life, having been sufferer
from some peculiar disease which has
seemed to almost battle the skill of some
of our best physicians; and whose pro
gress toward health has been extremely
slow. The community are confidently
hoping that this change may work won
ders for her.

Fourth Quarterly Conference.

The Fourth Quarterly conference of
Weybridge Methodist Episcopal church
was held on Saturday afternoon, Febru-
airy Goth, at the parse mage. After the
regular order of business had been trans
acted, set of resolutions, commenting
the work of the district superintendent
and regretting the fact that Brother
Dow could no longer, under the economy
of the church serve in the capacity of
district superintendent in Burlington dis
trict, were presented by Bro. j. s. Shaw
and adopted by rising vote and ordered
to be spread upon the minutes of the
conference.
In apt and felicitous phrase Bros. w.
C. Sturtevant, j. s. Shaw and L. A.
Baker expressed their hearty apprecla-
ton of the work performed by the pastor
during the past year, Brother Sturtevant
calling attention to the increased at
tendance, the largest as he expressed
it, for many years, upon the stated serv-
ices of the church and the superintend.
ent of the Sabbath school, Bro j. S.
Shaw, noting the advance in the Sunday
school. At the pastors earnest request
the matter of his appointment for the
ensuing year was left in the hands of
the district superintendent; the confer
ence making request that Brother Dow
exercise his influence to secure for Brother
McCabe a larger and more remunerative
| appointment. Our pastor responded
feelingly, paying highly merited COM
pliment to the members of the church
and congregation for the noble manner
in which they have sustained him, for
the unfailing courtesy and kind tokens
of esteem of which he had been the re.
cipient. One of the most important ac-
tions taken by the conference was the
election of the Hon. G. E. Child as a
trustee of the church. The following

MEADOW FESCUE.

Increase In Use of Plant Good For
Pastures In Many Regions.
For several years past meadow fes-
cue has been an important crop &. in
northeastern Kansas. according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The acreage devoted to this
grass has, however. been extremely
variable. The fluctuating tendency is
due chiefly to changes in the price Of
seed. The meadow fescue seed crop
has in some years reached a total val
uation of over $15O.O00 in a very limit
ed section of the state. The demand
for meadow fescue seed is quite limit
ed; hence an undue expansion in pro-
duction has caused in several years a
decided fall in price The merits of the
grass are such. however that it is be-
lieved that better knowledge of it's
usefulness will result in its being EN-
ployed much more extensively. espe-
cially for permanent pastures through
out the timothy region.
Meadow fescue is also locally known
as English blue grass notWithstand
lHS tue ldct tndt Ill EnSldHu IL IL called
meadow fescue. The name English
blue grass should be discarded for the
established name meadow fesrue. as
the use of both leads to confusion.
Meadow fescue sown alone furnishes
scant pasturage during the hot sum
mer months, and its lack of root stocks
prevents its taking first rank as a pas
ture grass in any region where Ken
lucky blue grass does well. Its value
at present IS fully appreciated only In
the eastern parts Of Nebraska and
Kansas 1t is quite probable that in

A DEFICIENT DIET.

Investigations into instances of pig
eating sows seem to show that this
tendency is aggravated if not in every
case caused by the sow's not having a
balanced diet during the few weeks
prior to the birth of her litter. A
largely fat forming ration, such as
corn. fails to furnish the mother with
the elements she needs in providing
her unborn young with flesh and bone
forming material. and the morbid ap-
petite she sometimes shows in her at
tempts to devour them as soon as born
is quite often evidence of the lack re-
ferred to. The difficulty may be over
come by reducing the corn ration and
substituting for a part of it in the
neighborhood of half a pound per day
of oil meal or tankage This ration
may be still further improved by add
ing an allowance of steamed clover or
alfalfa hay. The bone forming ele-
ment-potash-may be supplied In cob
charcoal and wood ashes.

In thtf east meadow fescue mas
shown itself to be almost as well
adapted as orchard grass to the clay
soils, and though not quite as pro-
ductive, it is rather more palatable
than the latter. AS the value of same
pastures over native pastures is better
realized and as the English idea Of
mixtures is more firmly established
with the American farmer meadow
fescue will take more important
place at least as a pasture grass.
The soil best adapted to the produc
ton of meadow fescue is a heavy
black loan. This grass has been noted
growing in the most decided "gumbo"
spots. and in these places when mois-
ture was sufficient no amount of tram
ping seemed to destroy it. 1t is not
adapted to light sandy soil. and the
best yield of hay and seed is always
secured from heavy soils rich in or
ganic matter.
Farmers interested in this pasture
plant can obtain further information
from their state experiment stations
Or departments of agriculture or from
the agricultural department at Wash
ington.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed TO be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

COW as toothsUme as cut from a two
yearold Angus steer. but it is an i'm
portant factor in the preparation of
meats for the table, whether poor or
good. To get the most out of roast
it should be put into a piping hot oven.
This sears the outside and retains the
juices, which would stew out with a
slow fire. TO have roast properly
done-pink in the middle-it should be
cooked fifteen minutes for every pound
it weighs. This will make the outside
cuts thoroughly done and the others
just right for those who like rarer
