Feeding Leghorns.
The following method has given
good results atthis station for feeding
Leghorns for egg production during
the winter. In the morning a. mois,
tened mash listed in such quantity that
1t is cleaned up in about one.halt hour.
This is.not mixed wet. but is simply
moistened so as to be more palatable
Leghorns consume about ten quarts Of
this mash per hundred fowls. It is
usually composed OF equal parts by
weight OF corn meal, wheat bran aud
ground oats, to which about ten per
cent OF good beef scrap is added. Il
sour milk or buttermiik Is available,
1t is used in place Of water IN mixing
the mash Al noon a light feed OF
whole grain Is fed scattered in deep
litter. This usually consists d q
mixture Of equal parts by weight
'ot com wheat and oats! AZ
night more whole grain is fed,
SO that the fowls 90 TO ;roost With
full crops. The whole grain Is fed iu
such quantity that all the corn and
wheat Is completely scratched out Of
the litter and consumed soon after
each feeding, but IL some good plump
oats remain ln.the litter no harm Is
done. If the oats have a tendency to
accumulate to any great extent the
supply, OF whole grain should beGcnt
down somewhat. The straw litter
should be examined freqpentls9 a1i
corn or wheat can be found easily the
fowls are receiving TOO much whole
grain, and they will soon become too
TAT and out Of proper condition, and
the egg production will suffer On the
other hand, II no plump oats can be
found in the litter, the fowls may re.
ceive with advantage more whole
grain. In addition to the grain and
green food, the fowls receive two or
three times per week ground fresh
meat and bone, fed at the rate Of six
to eight poundspe~ hundred fowls.

LIFE PROCESSES OF TIE Tree.

The two great life processes Of the
tree, as web as of all plants, are to
get nourlshmeht and to reproduce lts
kind. The tree gets It's food through
Its roots and its leaves from the soil
and the al. The solid food from the
soil must go into solution and be car;
rled upwards from the roots through
the sap-wood 70 the leaves. The gas
food must be taken in through the
leaves. All this food. the minerals
from the soil and the carbon from the
air, is prepared for the different parts
Of the tree, in tile leaves by the aid Of
the sunlight. The prepared food Is
then carried downward through the
inner, soft bark, to where II is needed
to make root, trunk, branch, leaf
flower and fruit Girdliag a tree,
therefore, checks downward fow OF
food aud not theupward flow of crude
sap.
The trees, except those Of the palm
tribe, grow In glHh by adding ring up
IN ring OF wood cells to their trunks
land branches, and in height, not by
lifting its whole trunk and crown, but
by adding on 10 the tips Of It's twigs
Trees repredlceby seeds, sprouts and
sometimes by cuttings, by Prof a.

Virginia University.

Conscientious Man Thought Unusually Good Meals Would Keep Him

The most conscientious man ever knew served on jury with me sey- eral years ago" said the experienced juror. Tt was criminal case and the jurors were imprisoned In a hotel during the trial. At our first dinner the man with conscious refused to Cat the excellent meal provided
 eff I should fill my stomach with all that hifalutin grub he said, I should not be able to think straight | am not used to 1t at home. No man Is able to think normally immediately after a radical change in fare. Is takes several weeks to adjust his men sal attitude to his physical state. For that reason. every man who serves on jury ought to eat exactly the kind of food he is used to at home. even If 1t takes half @ dozen cooks to pre- pare 1t. If that was done, there would be fewer freak verdicts in this town
 There was so much sound sense in the doctrine that the II other jurors had feeting fancy for sticking to own accustomed simple fare. but tho feshpots of the hotel overcame their scruples and for three weeks we feast ed sumptuously. Also, to sustain the conscientious mans theory, we re- turned what the public called . freak verdict"
