PLANT TO GROW YOUR OWN Mase.
It makes no difference how well a
man may urulerstand the caro of u1iik
and cream and the melting of butter, he
cannot make. dairying a pr.•(tab',e busi-
ness tmless ho studies how to feet( so
a.; to leave a wide margin between the
er sl of the cow's ration and the value
of her p►1.xlucls, says D. C. Common.
With a view to ascertaining "where
he is nt," the farmer who is engaged
in dairying, if he buys feed stuffs in
the market, should ask himself if he
c, led not produce something much
more cheaply 011 his own land, which
would contain practically the same els
men ts.
All dairymen who have studied the
science of feeding, know that a given
amount of protein is absolutely neces-
sary'. and therefore in some form or
other su••ply 1t to their cows, and even
tee unscientific farmer has observed
that bran is a very, good food -stuff to
increase the flow of milk if ho is feed-
!r.g, corn fodder, millet or timothy hay,
Cut it dces not have any appreciable et-
f.ct if his cow is getting clover. in the
latter case a feed of corn nubbins or
ground corn is what has the desired ef-
fect.
t-fect.
Ho has, or maybe has not, deduced
from this, that bran and clover are
s'milar as 11 the elements they oontain,
and ono might be substituted for the
other. By actual analysis bran has been
fe•und to contain 12.3 pounds of protein
in a hundrei weight and 37.1 pounds
of carbohydrates. Compare this with
the table below giving the per cent of
Mese elements in the hay made from
the principal legumes:
Protein. Careohydrates.
Rod clover .. .. .. 6.8 85.8
Aisike clover . .. .. 8.4 42.5
Alfalfa .. .. .. ..11.0 39.6
Cowpeas .. ,.-. ..10.8 38.6
(laving made the comparison which
these figures make possible, it is easy
le decide whether it pays to buy bran
to supplement rho corn silage and fod-
der raised on the faun. Take the cost
of a ton of bran; two tans of clover are
more than its equal in feeding valuo.
Hew many tons can you raise to the
acre? It you answer "three," then an
acre of clover is worth to you the price
of one a1:d one-half tons of.bran, minus
the work of cutting and putting up the
hay.
Alsiko clover compares more favor-
ably with bran Ihnn docs the rcd clover,
Lut as its yield is never £o great, 811
acre would grow an amount of hay of
less value than that produced on an acie
of common clover. Alfalfa ranks near-
est the bran in feeding value, pound for
pound, and as its yield is greater than
the other legumes mentioned, it s easily
seen that it Ls the most profitable to
gr dw. Some experiment statkns report
yields of from five tons up per acre,
and some growers have claimed as high
a, len tons, which seems fabulous.
Cowpens make a very fair comparison
i ith_ bran and there Is no qi:estien That
two or three tons can easily be raised
le the acre of the latter varie'ies al least,
though we have no doubt that the more
quickly growing sorts like the New Era
and Whippoorwill would yield that
aml )unt of hay if the land 's fairly fer-
ti le.
The question for V -o farmer dairyman
to decide, then, is whether it pays to
t•tly bran, when by grow ng legum nous
plants the same elements may be fur -
rushed. and a high price be gotten out
ell the use of this land. while the soil
will be lett in better condition than be-
fore the crap was grown.

ESCAPES FRO\( Rl 5-1 I'ItesONS.
Revolutionists (1:11'4- Perpetrated Auda-
cious Hoaxes on the P.)ii,e.
No otiter country has --sed so
many daring escapes from pre n as has
(fuser, says Jaakoff Preto;,ker in an
art.ete in the \Vide \Ver'.d \ingazine.
Probably the simplest escape ever effect -
o! by a political prisoner was that of
the famous \til.. Sophie Perovsknya.
Belonging to the high, st Russian arislo-
cracy, she joined the revolul'onary
movement, and at the age of seventeen
was ar•rest(d, but was liberated. In 1878
she was again seized, and was sent to
the arctic regions.
On the journey Sophie had several
opportunities to escace, but the guards
were so k'nd to her that she w .11:41 not
rsk the punishment they would suffer.
Finally two guards were put over her
who were so brutal that she was freed
from conscientious scruples.
One night the party had to stagy at a
railway station; the two gendarmes slept
in the sumo morn as the prisoner. one
at the window, the other on the floor
before the door.
Sophie appearing to be fast asleep,
the guards seen fell asleep, tco. The
prisoner then rose. tried the door, which
ste found to open outward, stepped
across the slumbering guard and was
free. She managed to slip into a train
for St. Petersburg, while the gendarmes
snrred on.
Sophie took part in the plot for the
assatts;nation of Alexander 11, and was
hanged in 1831.
Leo Deutsch, the revolutionist, has a
record for repeated arrests and escapes
which is probably without parallel.
One: he escaped through the medium of
a bith. The Russian both is a national

nothing of freezing. knouling and starv-
