' BY T, U.1)BAN, B.s. A. intoresson 01' DAIUY IIUSAANbnY. During 1891 we conatueted pal:experiment e similar. to the one here reported, The chief !points brought out in reference to the effect a food on the per cent. ot fat in the milk were: • 1. Lot 1 deoreesedin per cent. of fat when changed to the peer retiou, while the other lap geese slightly richer milk, The average of all the lots m regard to the per cent. of fat in the milk Was highest on ration No. 1 (poor); No. 2 (rich in oil meals) next; and. No. 3 (rich io grains) lomat. The ex- treme variation, however, is so smell, (9.42 of one per cent.) thet we may say thet so far as this experiment shows there wan no appreciable difference in the per cont. of fat given bythe differeut lots whether fed on poor or rich rations, a. e., for a period of 28 days, but there was a marked difference in the total fat or butter yielded, due almost altogether to the quentaty of milk given. The average por cent. of fat given in the milk by the three lots when fed the ensilage, bay and straw ration was 307; on the line seed, cotton seed, hay, 3.49; an on the pea, oat and corn meal, 3.25. 2. The average per cent. of solids not fat from all the lots wheu fed on the poor ration w.s 7.79; on the oil temple and hay, 8.02; on the pea, oat, coru meal and hay it was 8.31. In every case there was a slight decrease in per cent. oftsolida not fat wheu the cenVa were fed the poor ration. The cows need in the experiment were six in number, divided into three lots—two cows in each lot, The general plan of the experiment was to feea each lot for four weeka on one ration, note the quantity and quality of the milk and Muter, then cbange to another ration and feed for four weeks until each lot hacl been fed each ration for the same length of time. The rations wore; No: 1, Ensilage, 301b.; oat strew, 20 Th.; hey (cut), 10 lb. Na. 2. lia,y (our, 20113.• Lied oil. meal 4 lb.; cottonseed meal, No. 3, Hay (cut), 201b.; pea, meal, 41b.; oatmeal, 5 lb. corn mod, 8 lb. 1891::otne conclusions from the experiment of 1. When there is a deficiency of at or albuminoids in the retiou, the Animal draws from its otvu body to make up this lack, maintaining about the mane quality of milk, though the quantity may be greatly reduc- ed, '(Tids woeld doubtless continue so long as the animal remained in good condition, but when the vitality was reduced to a cen, tain point we might expeet a poorer quality of milk, but so long as the cow has the material in her boay to spare, so long will she continuo to draw from that source to maintisin her average quality of milk.) 2. When an excess of nutrients is fed these axe doubtless wasted to a considerable extent, and if fed for a length of time might do injury to the animals, thonglt these cows ate their full ration for a ported of 21 dive without apparent iujitry. 3. Judging front the returns from the winter ration we may expect to receive prof - Roble returns from a muoh wider ratio and on less nutrieets than tho German standard calls for. 4. In answer to the question, Was the fat feed in the food reeovered in the milk ? these experiments show that on ration No. 1 more fat was recovered in the milk than was fed m tho food, and. on Nos. 2 and .3 the returns of fat in milk wore about the same as the fat fed, but; whether it all came from the fat of the food or not was undecided. 6. The general conclusion would seem to be, that the food does not tillt Me quality of inn to any alipreefable extent as long as the animals arc ta good condition. This ap- plies more - particularly to rations fed for short neriodi—from 21 tn 28 days—bat in case ot Lot en it may be amid to be true for 29 days, 6. It is a waste of food to give more than the animal ean assimilate. Find the capacity of the animal for economic produc- tion and feed to that capacity. 7. A poor ration may give profitable re- turns for a while, but will end in depletion of the cow's vitality and hence injure milk secretion. S. The cast of food fed is an important item in the profitable returns from a dairy, and an extra, amount of some cheap food in the ration, such as ensilage or beau may prove a profitable investment. For instance in the case of Lot I. by putting 20 lb. straw in theplace of 6 lb. hay and 5 lb. bran, and reduciug the ensilage from 50 lb. to 30 lb. per da.y, we reduced the cost of the weekly food from $1.78 th $1.22, but we also de- creased the Value of their production in butter -fat (besides loss of skint -milk) from 83.98 to $2,31 ; in othedwords by reducing the cost of the feed 32 per cent., the value of fat was reduced 42 per cent., besides causing the cows to lose in weight. (For detailsof this experiment see College Report for 1801,) Experiment of 1802. This experiment was conducted somewhat differently from that of last year. The number of cows was the same but they were divided into twa groups iostead of three, and two redoes only were used. The experiment commenced Monday, .April 4th, and closed June 12th, covering a period of ten weeks. The cows used were all H. No. 2, A. No. 3, and Na. 13 in Lot 1. A. No. 2, No. 4 and No. 2 com- prised Lot n. The rations wero No. 1, 50 lb. ensilage, 1 lb. bran, 41b. hay (uncut). No. 2, 50 lb. ensilage, 5 lb. pea meal, 3 lb. oatmeal, 2 lb. barley meet, 5 lb. hay (uncut). No. 1 ration cost 6.35 cents per day and No. 2 15,83 cents. Lot I was fed for five weeks on ration No. 1, then changed to ration No. 2, which was fed to them for five weeks. Lot n commenoed on ration No 2 and was then changed to ration No. 1. They were fed on each ration for five weeks. The milk from each cow was weighed morning and even- ing. The per cent. of fat, water and solids not fat in the milk of each cow was deter- mined on four days of each week. On two days of each week the milk from each lot was set in the Cooley creamer. The skim - milk was -tested; the cream from each lot -was churned separately; the butter -milk was tested; the quality of the butter was noted and a sample sent to the laboratory for analysis, determination of melting point and Iodine number. The cows were we/gin ed at the beginning and close of oach period of feedbag. 001•T0LUSIONS AS TO QUALITY. 1. The aveitme of four weeks- on a poor ration with Lot x was 3.38 per cent. with fan With the week intervening during which time were *changed to a Mai melon containing the same atimunt of citarse fodder but having 10 lb. meal in addition, the aver. age -per cent. of fat in the milk frem the eared went for four weeks Was 3.30—Practi- cally the samens in the tateviaus period. Lot n gave milk containieg $.66 -pee cent, of fat during the period on.ntich they *ere fed the meal ration, and 3.84 per newt-. milk while receivinepraticelly no meal for thiee weeks. meaner' Again we must conclude that foe a short period of time with el -Kite cloves meal did uot effect the par Cent. of fat or quality of the milk to any greet extent. 2. Last year the poor ration gave results i Which showed a alight- deoreese n per cent. of solids not fate The same is true for this year. The average of both -ants is 8 69 per emit on the poor ration and 9.03 on ' the Meal ration. CONCLUSIONS AS TO QUANTITX. 1. With Lot x the extra, amount of meat di4 nos appear to have moth effect on the gitantity as they gave but 60 lb, more milk m four weeks while getting meal than dur- ing the same length of time without meal. This may be ancounted for in some degree by the Met that two of the sows in this lot had calved recently. Those in Lot xx had been milking for a longer time when the experiment commenced.. 2. Both Lots lost .heavily in weight while getting ration No. 1, end gaiocel con- eiderably on the ensilage, meal and hey, One ration was not sufficient to sustain the live weight of the animals while giving milk, and the other caused them to lay on flash -Without a corresponding increase of milk. 3. The costper lOOlb. of milk from both Lots on ration No. 1 Was 55.8 cents while the cost when No. 2 was fed was $1.18 per 100. Such a large quantity of meal could not be profitably fed to these cows. Both Lots appear to have given slightly better creaming results on the ration com- posed nearly altogether of ensilage. Tile average per cent. of fat M the skiin-milk from both, in seven settings being 0.37 of one per °out., while the average of the same number of settings, under (meetly the same conditions, was 0,53, when the meal ration was fed in addition to the ensilage. It was observed. in the preetical handling of the samples, that the butter from Lot was elwaya firmer then that from Lote, due doubtless to the influence of the animals coniposing this lot. It is rather remark- able what a dtfference one or two degrees in the melting point makes in the physical properties of butter. Both lots gave firmer butter or blitser With a higher melting, point when they were fed meals in addition to the ensilage and hay. Last year when the cows were fed ensilage chiefly it pro- duced a butter with e low melting point (31.75 0) "Taking the everage melting Point (32. 40 ) of the butter produced from the ensilage, hay, straw, and grass rations as a standand, we find that it was inereased 2, 30 0. when a mixtureof oil me de and hay was led; 1 0 when linseecl meal alone was fed ; and 4. 1 ° on the cottonseed (noel ration." If it is possible to feed something which will preduce firmer butter, a butter that will "stand up"better in hot weather, the question becomes of much practical im- portance. There appears to be very little difference in the average composition of the butter prodeced by the two rations, I would re- peat what was stated in the last College Report, p. 109: "That the varying per cent. of Mt, water and other substances found in butter, is likely due more to the method of manufacture than to the infiti- enee of food." onnomonn realm ron FAltlABSS. 1. For prantical use I would not recom- mend either of the rations used in thia ox- pnriinent. No. 1, I consider deficient in ndl k producing substances, and No .2,15 too rich for our ordinary cowl, en they did not appear to be able to digest and assimilate so moth meal, I would also warn against feeding much mere than 501b. ensilage per day to news weighing tinder 1,000 lb. We have found tbe following ration to give good results :50 lb, of corn ensilage, 6 lb. of hay, 4 lb. of bran, and 2 lb. of pea eta mamma mixed in equal proportions. If these latter become too high priced, I should recommend the use of 2 lb. of cottonseed meal (in place of the brax or meals) per day to each cow, when it can be bought for about $30 per ton. Feed liberally, though not wastefully, bearing in mind that although the per cent. of fat may not be increased by liberal feed- ing, the total amount of fat or butter may be largely inereesed by causing the cow to give a larger quantity -of milk. Three things determine the value of a cow: the quality of her milk, the quantity she gives, and the economics use she makes of her food, 2. During the hot weather buttermakers are frequently troublea with soft butter, Thia is largely due, in most eases, to im- proper handling of the milk, cream and batter, but there is a tendency during hot epells for the leneter to be soft no matter what the care taken. From the experi- ments here reported I am led to believe that the addition of a small quanthy of meal, especially cottonseed meal, has a tentleney to make the butter firmer, or es we say, raise the melting from one to four degrees Centigrade. Last, summer we fed about 1 lb. per day, to each COW, while at pasture, and our buttermaker informs me that he did not have a churning of soft but- ter during the whole summer. Whether this was duo altogether 00 the cottonseed meal, I a,in not prepared to say, but I think it had something to do with it. In feeding cottonseed meal it should be mixei with bran, hay, or some grain meal. The God who gave us life gave as liberty at the same time.

There were no fins or flappers to be eeen, hut the leviethan was proceeding along at the rate of five or six mites an hour by an undulating, wriggling motion. It wits trav- elling in an opposite direction to that in which the steamer was going and it was kept in sight for more than ten minutes.

The Sits of the Holy Sepulchre - Mr. Walter Beasante gives his views, as a former secretary of the Palestine Exploretion Fund, eboue the recent proposal to bizy " Gordon's Tomb," I was amatled, he elms, a, few dim, ago to read in the mere an ap- peal to the British public for the sum ef 4:1000, in order to buy an old tomb near Jerusalem. which the late General Gordon hied chosen as the Holy Sepulchre,Wheu Gordon was in Jerusalem he wrote many letters to me on the Holy sites, and I have bad many convcreations with him on the subject. These, not because I was a per- sonal friend of his—I bad not that honour —bat because I was then secretory of the Palestine Exploration Fund, The letters I prize, and I cherish the memory of those conversetions with a man who would live forever in the hearts of Englishmen—the noblest of his generation, Atthe same time, Gordon on the Holy sites was fallible. The case as I read it, of the Holy Sepulchre is this—In the fourth century, the Emperor Constantine, then newly converted, ordered that a church should be built over the site of the Holy Sepulchre. No one knew the site ; the memory of it bad entirely perish- ed. When pilgrimages began in the third century the Mount of Olives, the scene of the Ascension, was the one Holy Place known and viaited. But the demand creat- ed the seemly. Holy Places, being asked for, were quickly recovered. That, of the Holy Sepulchre was pointed out and a churchbuile over the place. Ancient tombs have been discovered under the roof of the present church, so that there was evidently some show of reason for choosing this site. On the site of Constantine stands the pres- ent church. It is, however, 15 years since Major Conder—who has done more for the right understanding of the Bible than all other explorers and travellersput together—discussed the hill. Gordon searthed the hill, and preiently found a tomb—one among many tombs. "This," he said; confidently, "is the Holy Sepul- chre." No proof, no word of tradition, nothing but the fact that the Holy Sepul- chre must be on that hill, and that here is a sepulchre. Moreover, as Major Conder has since pointed out, the tomb itself is not Jewish at all, but belongs probably to the ninth century. Importwat Medical Discovery. A somevrbot startling discovery has just been made by a Berlin medicalman, which, if confirmed by other observers, will still further add to the necessity of adopting stringent precautions against possible in- vasions of cholera. He has found that patients apparently convalescent from the disease are still sources of infection. In the case of a men who,af ter a severe attack,he,d perfectly recovered, and who had asked for his discharge from the hospital, unequivocal evidence was forthcoming of the presence in his body of large quantities of the specific bacillus. Before, however, steps could be taken for extending the investigations into this important subject, the man euddenly left, to all intents and purposes, in perfect health. Many years ago the belief was ex- pressed by a well-known German physician that persons apparently healthy could con- vey cholera to o distant plane, but that was in preba,oteriological days, when the °amine bacillus had not been isolated, when noth- ing was known of the etiology of the disease, and. whett no means existed of proving the assertion by seienthie evidence,.

In spite of the outlay of vast sums 6f, money and the offer of toinpting rewards to the ingenuity and science of the whole world for some means of destroying the enormous hordes of rabbits in Australia, the pests still flourish and multiply disas- trously, says the Rural Xen: York4r, and: threaten to ruin the agricultural interests of that continental island. It is calcuiated that a single pair of bunnies will in ten years multiply to 70,000,000, so that a won of extermination against than: appears al- most hopeless.
