officers have found II impossible TO de-

any degree Of accuracy at longe range.
The reason for this IS what is known
as errors Of the gun. Officers declare
that they can point 1i-inch gun at
a target so that according TO all con-
ditions there should be a hit, but for
scme reason which they cannot ex-
plain tho shot is carried away from
the target. As a consequence the ba.-
tie practice now conducted at 1900
yards consists in firing broadsides az
the target, all Of the big guns going
at once. Under such circumstances II

the accuracy Of any one turret, the

SUITS secured IN a recent test at the
Missouri agricultural experiment sta
ton, in which some steers were full
fed, while others received much less
feed, writes P. T. Trowbridge.
The steers which received feed In
sufficient for the greatest growth were
most affected by such ailments as in
digestion and pink eye, and their sick
ness was more likely to result in death.
In fact, among more than hundred
steers in the experiment all the losses
except one we're among the low fed
animals.
Steers fed for long periods, such as
three years and a half, on feed insult
ficient for the greatest growth did not
seem to be able to digest their feed
and to make gains when later put on
full feed. Even a steer whose growth
was greatly retarded for only one year
never equaled in, weight steer Of the
same age which had been full fed
from birth, although when put back
on full feed he made very profitable
gains and developed very choice car
cass of beef. These results do not
disagree with the common observation
that thin steers often make the most
profitable gains. Such feeders have
usually not been starved so long or so
steadily. They have usually had bulky
feed, which kept up the stomach capac-
ity even though it didn't furnish a
great deal of nourishment, and were
very likely to have at least occasion.
al large quantities of good, nutritious
feed, while the steers in the test were
kept regularly on small quantities OF
food for long periods so that they
seemed to lose the capacity to eat and
digest as large quantities as they mus
handle to make the most profitable
gains.
Thrifty yearlings put on feed that is
not sufficient even to keep up the bod,
