The feeding value of any substance depends upon its digestibility and wholesomeness. Any innoxious vege table matter may contain nutriment. Even corn cobs and wood fiber contain nutritious matter. The Laplanders and Finns mix birch sawdust and bark powder with their oat ami barley meal, and the fermentation and baking de velop a considerable quantity of food substance in these .seemingly useless coarse matters. Beavers get exceed ingly fat upon birch, maple and other young wood, while rabbits, sheep and even cows at times subsjst comfortably upon the twigs and small branches of trees. Some animals, too, are capable of digesting foods which would be en tirely useless or injurious to others, so that when the value of any substance used for feeding animals is considered several points are to be taken into con sideration. Tlie chemical composition of any kind of fodder, is, to a large extent, a guide to the feeding value of it; for, if it does not contain any element related to those of the animai system, the sub stance has clearly no value as food; and if it does contain these element* then the measure of value is clearly equal to the quantity of these element* and their digestibility. The table ot analysi* then 1« a valuable guide for the firmer to study, and after this has been considered, the digestibility, and also the means of increasing this prop erty are to be taken into account. Tlie following table gives the composition of various straws and that of some other substances given for the purpose of comparison: Per Ct. of > o' ß 3 S’ o a ? Sood hay.... Corn meal.... Oat straw.... Peaatraw. .. Benn straw... Wheat straw. Barley straw, Rye straw .... Co -nstalks... 9.7|- 10.0 I 4.0 1 » ? ? O' Q* 3 2 1.0 4 « 0.« This table needs no comment fur ther than to call careful attention to it and urge a thorough study of the fig ures, not only for themselves but ou account of the following considera tions: A comparison of the two sets of columns will show that there is a very large loss of the most valuable portions of the straws because of the imligestibility of these elementary sub stances in the albuminoids and the fat, while more than half of the albumin oids of hay, and more than three- fourths of those of cornmeal are di gested; only one-fourth of the former and but little more of the latter in wheat and rye straw are digested; thus practically all the nitrogen contained tn these straws is unavailable, and is lost when they are fed alone. There is also a surprising loss of the fatty mat ter in the whole list, excepting in corn meal, and the samé exception holds good in regard to other concentrated food». The same, we venture, to sug gest, will also apply to the use of straws as regards their albuminoid matter, which seems to escape without digestion, and thus lose a large portion of their value. How can this loss be averted? This is a serious problem at this time, when every possible economy is necessary in the conduct of the farm work. Straw is a valuable fodder if it can be made more digestible. It is well known by students of animal physiology that the mixture of concen trated food with coarser subtances greatly assists the digestion of the lat ter. This fact is applied to the aliment of persons who use butter with bread and meat with potatoes and coarse vegetables, and explains the reason why when potatoes and bread are the sole food of poor persons, a much larger total quantity is consumed than when these are mixed with the more nutritious aliment. The r< zon is that a large! quantity of the coarse food is digested when it is mixed with that which is more concentrated and more highly nutritious. To make- straw more available as food, then, it should be mixe I with corn-meal or the oil meals, and a* thorough mastication and salivation are greatly helpful of digestion the straw should be cut as finelv as possible and mixed with the meáis and a portion of salt to make it •till more palatable and excite a more copious flow of the salivary fluid.«-AT.

In recognition of his tiuancial value to the place, and also, I have no doubt, ou‘ of situ ere gratitude and re spect for h s memory, the Cannese, aided by 1 tiglish residents, have lately erected a handsome statue in his honor, which has artistic merit and is a shin ing ornament of the public place where it stands. The Cannese have not yet iiad time to become sophisticated in the Niçois manner, and. therefore, their ways are less sordid and repellent, though tieir time may come.

It seems a small cavity, but it would take more than the amount of tlie national debl of England to exca vate it. It would take one good work man 1,000,000 years to shovel the stuff from the ground into carts; yet all was ■ lone in four hours.
