OnOWW, C. 2., rnernesou OP AOI CULTURE, Ll previoue years we have tested 01 value of different kinc(e of grain sopa atoly in the fattening of stores, but new bran thoroughly against any of them, a mixture of them. The prominence no given to the bran of ivheat In feedin miluh cows sledded the experiment r ported in Bulletin xii„ and in aesooiatio with it we conducted another last wrote with exactly the like kinds of food, fattening store steers. Eight animals were time handled, a being Short Horn grade steers two yea old -three only of whioh could be held tope of their kind, and the others b very ordinary specimens. They were g in October, 1880, and put up to good eta feeding until the beginning of the test o 38th February following. The lot tie made into twu equal groups, balanoin everything as usual to the best of ou knowledge, and changing during period of the 68 days, ending 7th May. The two rations per head per da were: 4.-18 ]be. bran, 9 lbs. timothy an olover bay, and 30 lbs. turnips. B.-101be. of equal weights of groan peas, oats, barley and corn, with 9 lb hay and 80 lbs. turnips. Upon the grain (B), all over the two periods, the average animal entered with 1,847 and came out 1,371 lbs. Upon bran A all over the sem, ri- P ( ), Remedied - oils, oda the average entry was83 an p b y a d 0 d the closing weight 1,382 lbs, per head. These brief statements of the whole ex- periment are so astonishing that reoapi• tulation in another form is desirable. Group 1. on grain began at 1,334 and closed at 1,360, having inoreased only 26 lbs. per head in 83 days. When changed to bran the average animal inoreased from 1,830 to 1,403 lbs. in 36 days. Group 2. on bran started at 1,300 and closed with 1,361, thus increasing 61. lbs. in 33 days, and when changed to grain the average ahimal ran from 1,561 to 1,382 in 85 days. Altogether, then, there has been a mean daily per head increase, from all sources over all the period, of over one (1.10) pound to the live weight. Grain gave a daily rate of two-thirds (.69) of a pound, and bran fully a pound and a•half (1.68) per head daily. Animals were in good health and had no trouble except one that bloated thrice when on bran, find hence would be an item asking for credit to that ration. Webave never had the same experience with a lot of stores. During the last eleven years with us the average daily increase to weight by many kinds of feed, has been 2,03 lbs., the lowest 1.60, the highest 2.70. Besides, on almost an ex- actly similar ration to this grain (B), we have obtained in past years a mean of 2.25, so that we are in trouble in having to account for the unusual circumstance of the general bad doing, without refer. e00e to the specialties meantime. One thing is evident in this experiment, namely, that the oonduct of each group has been very uniform, but all over there wee s decidedly under -average lot of cat- tle. Quality was wanting in the major- ity, and few were hearty feeders, Never- theless there was uniform health, and so far as regards agents for experimentation hcaonditions were precisely alike, with , he reflection that treating such a class of animals to a variety of things would most likely be better for them, as against one kind of food in abundance. The nutritive ratio of the bran diet is 1;5.04, and of the mixture of grain 1:5.64, which, though not always necessarily the best evidence of the feeding value, is a guide, and indicates in this case that the hay and roots with the bran was about 12 por Dent. richer that the other ration. The two may be placed for all practical purpnses at equal market Value, and thus we have an increased interest in the com- petition. That growing cattle life, specially set aside to produce beef during, winter, should be more than doubled in added Weight by the consumption of 18 lbs. of wheat Man as against 101bs, of a mixture of our best coarse cereals and the pea, seems b rdly possible from a farmer's reasoning. The point is not only one of considerable importance; it is one of physiological interest, the more so as wo have had the milking cow and the beef- ing steer giving main different results. Take the latter first fact of all: - As shown in Bulletin six. a spayed eow-an agent of the very best kind by the way -not only gave somewhat less milk on 18 lbs. of bran per day, but that milk was 17 per dent. less in butter fat than when she got the 10 lbs. of the mix- ture of grain in question. Is bran, then, by its higher eonoentrat. ed and less digestible charade" better adapted to produce fat and flesh than milk and milk fat? It has most unques- tionably said 90 in these tests, and while further prosecution of the enquiry may alter results to some extent, the facts so far are too prominent to be set aside as belonging to any unusual circumstarnces. Wo do not enter upon. the chemical bearings of the 'experiments at present, becauseProfessorJameshas not yet corn. plated analyses of fodders and the manure obtained. It will be a matter of much interest to all feeders to note that while the Dow ate both rations freely and left nothing to re -weigh, the steers did hot oonsume all the bran ration, but left an average of 2i lbs, per head por day ; at the same time the well-balanood grain ration was cleaned up by the ethers, and possibly they would have taken more. It appears, then, that fattening stores cannot make nee of more than 10 lbs. bran in associa- tion with 90 lbs. tnrnipsj(and 0, lbs. bay daily per heed.

Now we have fattening steers that not only gave 100 per cent. more daily increase but did so et one cent per ]read lees cost when the food was regulated b bran as against grain. We aloes meantime with the memoran- dum that apparently the exact leas of wheat bran as food for cattle is not clear enough to justify an one in an irregular and indefinite use o it, for: - 1.

As it happens the question we are striving to raise in this community, viz., Christianity versus Romanism, is a question that is now generally coming be- fore the pnblio. Romanism having just lately been described by the General As- sembly of the Presbyterian church as a "dreadful evil" by Dr. MCViar, one of the leading scholars of that ohuroh, his language being, as reported in the Win- nipeg Morning Call, of Saturday, June 11:-"Romanism bad not changed for the better. Their methods and systems were hostile to the Bible, to secular and religious education and good government and were building themselves up by ab- sorbing the resources and grinding a hard working people."

Brussels arioket club took the early train on July 1st and before many hours wore in Harrigan and on the field ready for play. The day was very hot but nev- ertheless the willow was wielded in a lively manner and, coupled with good bowling and sharp fielding, a good game was the result. The home team went to bat first but, with the exception of Dr. Harvey, who made 13, rho individual score was kept down and the inninge alosed for 48, 6 being extras. Bruesele then went in to defend the stumps and managed it so successfully that the soore book showed 74 when the last wicketfeil. Jae. Ross piled up 20, putting the ball over the fence twice, 3. Kitchen made 14 very nicely and Dr. McNaughton made 10. In the second innings Harriston made 88. This left Brussels 9 runs to make to win the matoh. H, Dennis con- tributed (3 of the number when he was caught out and M. McLennan and James Ross finished up the balance. The game was an enjoyable one although a little one sided. las. Ross did some fine bowl- ing. H. Dennis also found the wicket more than once. Kitchen made a num- ber of good catches. Toe following is the score :- situeeELe, 1st Inridgs.2nd Innings.

The Fearless foot ball club of this plane took a hind (or possibly a foot would be better) in the foot ball tournament at Harriston on Dominion Day for the junior championship and a silver cup, valued at 318.00. It was arranged that Mt. Forest would play Harriston, and -Brussels try conclusions with Listowel, The match between the two first mentioned clubs commenced at 11 o'clock and lasted un. bi112:30, result no goal kinked. Another bout was played in the evening, lasting one hour, with the same result. The other two teams had a -game from 3 to 4 o'clock but were so evenly metalled that the ball did not ono, find its way between the flags. In the evening they triad their uok again for 1} hours with no better amass. It was decided that the games should be played off on days arranged satisfactory to the clubs and then have a meeting between the winners for the pos. ession of the cup, The day was a scorch. ng hot one for foot -ball but the boys worked like beavers. Brussels club was =posed of :-Frank Stratton, Thos. Rose; A. Fitzpatrick, R. Thomson, J. Mc. Naughton and Geo. Halliday, forwards ; D. Wilson and A. Clark, half basks.; Chas. Pierce and Jno.
