tically 20 per cent. In favor Of the
self-feeder racks. 1t makes a differ
ence of AZ cents in the cost securing
each 100 pounds of grain. These re-
suits were secured on alfalfa valued
at IS per ton. With a higher price
the difference would be corresponding
ly greater.
These self-feeding racks cost 81 per
running foot completed. They had the
ordinary capacity Of four lambs per
running foot, two on each side, not so
much space being required at a self
feeder as at an ordinary rack, since
all the lambs will not eat at one time.
As already stated, the saving in this
one experiment amounted to AZ cents
per 100 pounds of gain. This is equal
to about IA cents on each lamb. Count
ing four lambs per running foot, this
would make saving on one seasons

SELF-FEEDERS SAVE HAY
AND CONSIDERABLE LABOR
According to Tests Made Experiment Station
Fully 20 Per Cent of Feed Is Wasted by
Old Method of Feeding.

Self-feeder racks for supplying
roughage to sheep or cattle are not
only the means of saving considerable
labor. but, according to tests made at
the Colorado experiment station, are
the means Of saving a great deal of
hay. One lot of lambs at this station
were fed whole hay in a self-feeder
rack and another lot whole hay in
racks on the ground. such as are in
common use In many sections of the
country. The average gain of these
two lots was practically the same,
the lot feeding from the self-feeder
averaging only one pound heavier
than the others. says the American
Agriculturist. Also, the grain con-
sumed varied but little, being only
nine pounds more for a 10O-pound
gain in the first lot than In the Sec
ond. The great saving came in the

RUSSIA GAINS
in FARMING
Prevailing Impression That Little
Progress Is NJ a de IN That
Country Is Erroneous-Series
OF Readings Gratis.
By ]. B. sNoDGRAss.)

The impression generally prevails
that. although Russia is most gen.
erously favored by nature, little prog
ress is being made in agriculture. This
Is erroneous.
AS an Illustration of the interest
that is being manifested along these
lines. and as indicative of the pro-
gressive policy that has been adopted
and is now being pursued, it may be
cited that the Imperial Agricultural
museum. in its endeavor to popular
ize the study of agricultural subjects.
has for the last few years conducted
gratis, at the museum in st. Peters
burg, series of systematic readings
on agriculture for the benfft of every
Inc interested. In addition to this
course. popular lectures are delivered
and special readings conducted for
men in the lower ranks of the army.
In the experimental department of
the museum the taking apart and
putting together of various machinery
is demonstrated by trained mechanics.
Agricultural machinery in motion is
also demonstrated and the use of ag-
ricultural implements is explained;
experiments are. also made with all
classes of farm machinery, such as
locomobiles, winnowers, sorters, and
the like. In separate departments
are demonstrated the fertilization of
the fish spawn and the development
Of the chicken In the incubator.
The attendance at these lectures
has been. uninterruptedly increasing
from year to year. For the past four
years the attendance has been: 5.O93,
17.s0s. 32.442. 60.346: showing great
increase.
The lectures are delivered in the
evening from seven to nine and on Sum-
day from two to three p. m. The prac-
teal work and excursions are conduct
ed by prearrangements between the
lecturers and the students, such as

Feed for Lambs.

The Wyoming experiment station,
after repeated trials, concludes that
corn and the bearded or Scotch bar
ley, when fed with alfalfa. were about
equal In value for mutton production.
Barley In this test proved to be a

cent. less alfalfa and % per cent. less
grain were required where barley re-
placed either in a ration. Grade lambs
with mutton sires made greater gains,

Because Harold Speed was twenty

As They Auction In Japan.

Sealed bids are used in auctioning
property in Japan. There is no shout
ing. The auctioneer announces to the
audience that he has such and such
piece of property for sale and in
vites bids. Those who wish to bid
write their bids and names on slips
of paper. The paper is folded and
placed in box. When the auctioneer
sees no more bids coming he opens
the box and sorts out the bids. The
highest bid takes the property.
1t is like bond sale, no one knows
what his neighbor bids. II bidder
is anxious to get the property he will
not put in small offer.
On the contrary he will very likely
bid all the property is worth. For
this reason an owner never puts up
his property for auction unless he
wants to sell 1t.

RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT
Norwich Men Attended Banquet at

President James L. Case of the Y.
M. c. A, Rev. P. c. Wright, President
Frederick w. Lester of the Broadway
church mems league and President
Charles H. Haskell of the Park Con-

were in Hartford on Tuesday eve

the interests of the Men and Religion
Forward movement. This is nation
wide campaign which is to be inaug-
urated and Hartford is to be the CEN
ter of a section which will probably
include Norwich.
= About 800 men representing many
of the cities of the state attended the
banquet, at which the notable speak
ers were Mayor Smith of Hartford,
Rev. Yutaka Minakuchi, Baltimore;
Rev. Herbert Judson White, Hartford;
and Raymond Robbins, Chicago.
The Men and Religion Forward
movement stands for five things dis
tinctively: Evangelism, Bible study
boys work, social work and missions
1t is a work for men in the churches
Next Sunday is to be observed the
country over in the interests of this
movement and it is probable that some
of the churches of this city will have
their services include something on
the movement.
The Norwich men who attended the
banquet returned here late in the eve
