At the prices now realized for wheat
it la a question with many of our farm
ers whether thev had not better feed it
rather than sell. Answering one such
question through the Breeders' Gazette,
Prof. Henry of the Wisconsin station
says:
Our correspondent brings up a very
interesting subject and one peculiarly
proper to discuss at this time, when
wheat has touched the lowest value in
our grain markets known for a long time.
The composition of wheat is shown in
the following table, where I have com
pared it with oats, corn and wheat middlings.
Table showing the digestible constit
uents in 100 pounds :
Crude
Protein.
Wheat .2
Oat. 1
Corn 7.1
Wheat middling! 12 2
A study of the above table shows that
wheat is about as rich in protein, which
goes to build up the muscle, as is oats;
that it is considerably richer than corn
even in muscle food, out not so rich as
wheat middlings, which is derived from
the wheat grain in the process of mill
ing. In the carbohydrates, the starchy
matter, wheat stands highest in the list,
excelling even corn, and far abead of
wheat middlings or oats. The starchy
matter is the fuel for the body, a portion
of which may be stored up as fat when
not neeaeu at once.
I cannot but regard wheat as approach
ing the nearest perfection for Btock food
of any of our grains, everything consid
ered, me oat grain, being surrounded
by a husk, is the safest grain we have
lor stock-feeding, lor the reason that an
imals are not so easily overfed, but
aside from this marked advantage for
the oat grain I should put wheat ahead.
nniiariWiiriti Amnliliiia un
real nutriment.
The only possible danger In feeding
wheat arises from the fact that there is
no enveloping husk about the grain, and
it the careless feeder gives tha animal
the concentrated grain too liberally, de
rangement of the digestive apparatus
may loiiow. Wheat may be fed rolled
or coarsely ground, or may be soaked,
It should be prepared in some way be
fore being fed, though we have fed at
this station small quantities without
preparation with quite satisfactory re
sults, much win depend upon the way
in which the horses masticate the food.
The best form of preparation no doubt
is roiling, tne same as barley is rolled for
norses on tne racinc mope.
In the process of rolling the grains are
simpiy nattened, put not torn apart, in
this form the food seems to lie light in
the stomach and to be easily digested.
Ground wheat may be mixed with bran
to lighten it, or may be spread over
moistened chaffed hay the same as shorts
or other ground feed.
The present time calls for a special
study in this direction, for wheat is sell
ing at ruinously low prices. It would be
a good thing for the market if I0,000,000or
15,000,000 Bushels were fed to our stock.
as what was left would probably bring
as large a sum total as if it were all sold.
Met Interaatwl la the War.
I was riding up through Arkansas with
Price's army. We were on our way back to
Missouri. The Yankees had let ua alone so
long we thought maybe tbey had quit
fighting or bad forgotten us. We were get
ting anxious about It. Along toward night
I met a man who had lived np there In the
mountains. He had been fishing and bad
his string of flsb with him. He was going
home, f was pretty full of patriotism and'
notions about duty. You see, I bad studied
the relations of thestates to thenation, and
the relations of t he states to the states, and
the relations of the states to the territories,
and the relations of the citizen to the states
and to the nation. I thought I knew all
about It. I said to this man away up In tbe
mountains of Arkansas:
"Why aren't you in the armyf"
"What army?" he asked.
"Tbe Confederate army, of course," said L
"Oh, yes," he said, "I did bear something
about such an army."
"Yes," said 1, growing a little hot, "I
thought ao. And why aren't you out with
It fighting the battles of the country f "
"What eountryf" he asked.
"This country," I said.
He looked all around him at the moun
tains, and then he said:
"Stranger, suppose yon lived in this
country, and owned all yon wanted ot It,
and had all tbe use of it you wanted, and
some other fellow was paying the taxes and
the expense of keeping up the government,
wouldn't you tblnk you was a denied fool
to go to flghtln about It with that other fel
low f "-fit, Louis Olobe-Democrat.
The Battleground et the Asoroa,
In 1580 the Azores came under tbe power
of Spain, and In the history of the next SO
years their name la frequent as the favorite
battleground of the English and Spanish
fleeta. Tha nartlalttv waa Indeed mainly
on the side of the former and for a good
reason. Thesi islands lay right in the track
of all vessels sailing to and from that en

Spanish Main.
On the highest peak of Terceira, whence
in clear weather the sea could be scanned
for leagues around, were raised two col
umns, and by them a man watched night
and day. When he saw any sails approach

western column one for each salt If they
came from the east, a similar sign was set
on the eastern column.
Hither in those days earns np out of the
mysterious western seas the great argosies

waste. Put divisions in feeding trough
to lessen quarreling. Feed as much
milk as possible. Do not keep more
hogs than you can raise feed for. as the
greatest profit in hog-raising is in pro
viding a ready market for produce and
much otherwise unmarketable rough
feed. Kill every lonse and feed gener
ously. Poorly-fed hogs are always un
profitable. If in a fruit section, build a
cider mill for public use, if there is not
too much opposition. The fee will pay
for the undertaking, leaving the pomace
clear gain for your hogs. While growing

Harvard's sanitary condition is tbe sub

groundless, it would seem, because for tha
present it is authoritatively denied that the
health of the college is anything bat the

minimum causes the demand for cheap

William came to see the small boy's sis

and one or two others appeared between

came in about 9 o'clock, and meeting his
older brother in the hall asked who was in
the parlor.
"I don t know," he sain; "some young
man. I heard bis voice, but didn t ace
him."
"What are they doing in theref"
"Oh, billing and cooing, I presume."
"I guess not," retorted tbe boy. "They

with a certain class of women (and a large
class I must admit) It would be a case of
