SCIENTIFIC FEEDING
The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just issued Bulletin No 117 on
Growing Feeder Steers in Western
Nebraska This bulletin is a report
of the work done at the Experiment
Substation located at North Platte
In order to determine the relative
value of different kinds of forage for
growing cattle in western Nebraska
experiments were undertaken to com
pare the following rations for winter
ing steers Ration 1 alfalfa hay
ration 2 prairie hay ration 3 cane
ration 4 one half alfalfa and one half
prairie hay rations one half alfalfa
and one half cane hay ration 6 one 1
half prairie hay and one half cane
hay The experiment began
of 18 in each lot or 108 in all
ing the first winter they were fed i
the rations named above with two
pounds of corn daily per steerDuring
the second and third winters they
received no grain whatever but were
fed hay in a corral During the sum
mer they all ran together in a native
prairie pasture where about ten acres
of pasture was available for each
steer
A very exhaustive study is made of
the relative profit and loss upon the
different lots The following general
conclusions were drawn
The steers that went on grass in
the spring thin in flesh increased in
weight faster during the summer
than the steers that went on grass in
good flesh
Steers wintered on alfalfa or a ra
tion one half alfalfa make much fast
er gains during the winter than those
wintered on prairie hay or cane alone
but do not make as fast gains the fol
lowing summer
Steers wintered on a ration of al
falfa or one half alfalfa make a great
er gain during the Avinter and the
summer following combined than the
steers wintered on prairie hay or can
alone
Both yearling and two-year-old
steers lost weight when fed cane or a
ration one half cane and one half
prairie hay Steers fed alfalfa or a
ration one half alaflfa gained in
weight during each winter
The value of cattle should be ap
proximately 100 per 100 lbs more
in the spring than in the preceding
fall in order that they may pay for
their winter feed
The value of cattle in the fall nr
be considerably lower than in the
spring and the cattle still give a pro
fit on the summer operation
The value of alfalfa in comparison
with prairie hay or cane is higher
when fed to cattle that are to be sold
in the spring than when fed to cattle
that are to be sold the fall following
With the prices used for feed and
cattle in this bulletin it is not profit
able to produce steers for the feed
lot
The price of cattle is too low in
comparison with the market alue of
forage
This bulletin may be had free of
cost by residents of Nebraska upon
application to the Nebraska Agricul
tural Experiment Station Lincoln

More About That Two Days Meet
ing at Danbury
I feel that I must mention a few
more things about that wonderful
meeting at Danbury In the subject
How to Help the Pastor Mrs Ba
con gave a fine talk in which she
said everybody go to church and fill
up the seats that she didnt be
lieve the pastor liked to preach to
empty seats which we all know is
true Mrs E E Hayes responded
in her quick decisive way that if we
would all attend the weekly prayer
meetings she thought that would be
a help to the pastor in which Rev
Anderson the district superintendent
and Rev Parrin agreed that if our
the people attend prayer meeting as
they should be that thousands more
would be converted every year E
K Hayes gave a spirited and heart
felt talk on Sabbath schools telling
the people a few things they didnt
know It was well appreciated
Five of our band boys deserve
great credit for the beautiful piece
of music they favored the audience
with Sunday evening Messrs Geo
Thomas Jack Clouse Homer and
George Bastian and Mr Simpson Rev
Parrin of the Congregational church
is also deserving of appreciation in
the way he conducted the singinw on
Saturday evening Sunday afternoon
and ovenrs and of the other help
he gave in the services
FROM A LISTENER
Drawback
The Alpine guide waxed eloquent
Behold he cried yon beetling
crags They beetle for everybody
though sneered the rich American
and sullenly spat in token of his dis
content It was not true however
that he lacked appreciation of the
beautiful and the sublime provided
these were costly and exclusive

Idolaters and Cannibals
MURDER IN THEIR RELIGION
At Their Wild Ceremonies the Priests
of These Barbarians Offer Up Hu

and Repulsive Stone Gods
A religious festival by a savage tribe
of Asia in which occurred a human
sacrifice and the burning of the victim

plorcd Asia The rites were held u a
place called Chite City Tzuchan
which was reached after a hazardous
journey through the Ping mountains
Ho says
Let me give a brief history of this
strange nice who for centuries have
defied the most persistent research of
explorers and ethnologists Many cen
turies ago in the vicinity of Shanghai
there lived a highly enlightened race
known as the Chites They were the
most fanatical and bigoted Buddhists
so fanatical in fact that their turbu
lent spirits and eager desire to sow the
seed of proselytism caused frequeut
revolutionary disturbances The gov
ernment as Its only means of salva
tion made war on them For years the
Chites battled against overwhelming
odds until at last their numbers fear
fully reduced they gradually retired to
the west settling here and there only
to be again driven back After years
of wanderings they located in the wild
mountain region of northwestern Tibet
For untold centuries they have held
entirely aloof from their more civilized
Chinese neighbors and today they are
as untamed and barbarous as were
their fierce ancestors Many of them
are savages of the worst degree even
cannibalism is said to be prevalent
among many of them They acknowl
edge no allegiance to the emperor en
tirely ignore the authority of the man
darins and hold no communication
with the outside world Yet we have
visited their wild domain we have
penetrated into their stronghold and
have witnessed their strange customs
It had been our intention to steal
into the city under cover of night but
from our position of vantage we could
see that some religious demonstration
was in progress and we did not dare
to move For half an hour our guides
natives crawled out on the plain and
returned with the information that
they had discovered a considerable
cave in the hillside to the left of the
town which would screen us from ob
servation and at the same time permit
us to watch the movements of those
inside the walls We had just time to
reach our place of concealment when
the leaders of the procession entered
the narrow orifice and halted while
torches were being lit to guide their
passages through the gathering gloom
Following them pressed the unkempt
crew until the Interior of the dome
shaped cave was filled to the point of
suffocation
For half an hour the ear torturing
strife of discord waxed louder at every
moment until a hundred devils in hu
man form flitted beneath the flare of
flickering torches A frenzied enthusi
ast would leap into the air lacerating
himself with a knife grasping the gory
strip of flesh and grinding it under his
heel or taunting a neighbor into the
spirit of emulation by flaunting before
his eyes the ghastly piece of flesh Sud
denly from out the compact mass rose
a howl of mingled anguish ami fury
and a solitary individual mounted 0
sort of platform and stretched forth
his hand Evidently he was a high
priest Instantly there was silence
The light of the torches enabled us to
see the man who had mounted the plat
form ne was a tall gaunt individ
ual AH his right side was naked and
his face was covered with gaping rents
of knife wounds from which blood
trickled
A garment of coarse cloth covered
his body below the waist Soon we
aw live others follow him upon the
platform which was of raised earth
In a recess in the wall at the rear of
the platform one could see the dis
torted form of a gigantic image a
stony Impassive figure of such gro
tesque ugliness that one could not help
wondering how a race of people how
ever unenlightened could bring them
selves to worship an object of such re
pulslveness
At last a fearful moment was at
hand An old man was seized and
stretched upon a sort of stone altar
raised above the platform He realized
his last hour had come and he strug
gled In fear and fury to escape from
the grasp of his captors giving vent
to shriek after shriek until exhausted
he fell into a stupor Four of the
priests held the faintly struggling
body while from the gloom stalked
forth the sacrificial priest hfc hand
holding a long knife Once twice
thrice he abased himself before the
image and then turning round like a
beast ready to leap upon its prey he
rushed toward the prostrate form A
flash of light and the keen blade sank
to the hilt in the flesh of the victim
Three times did the worshipers on
the floor rise and abase themselves
and then quickly tho minor priests
seized the lifeless body and held it In
rhe air For a moment it silhouetted
against the fitful glare of the fire then
the flames leaped forward in eager
ecstasy to receive their prey

began to throw them to us all

MADE THEM REMEMBER
Customs of the Old English Court of
Forest Rogarders
The great forests of England were
for centuries royal property They
were kept from settlement and en
croachment by the strictest laws and
the severest penalties To enforce the
laws a great number of officials were
appointed There were warders ver
derers foresters and regarders and
there were special courts to try cases
of trespass poaching and like offenses
It is of the regarders that Mr Nor
way writes in his Highways and
Byeways In Yorkshire He is deal
ing with Sherwood forest of Robin
Hood fame
I know not with any certainty what
may have been the boundaries of this
forest in ancient times for that ex
cellent custom of the court of the re
garders has gone out of use which
was wont to impress the bounds so
firmly on the memories of those who
dwelt in the neighborhood
The regarders used to take a survey
of the forest every third year and in
their train went a number of boys col
lected willy nilly from the immediate
vicinity The boys were chosen be
cause it was held that the memories
of the young are good Yet it was
found to be desirable to impress them
firmly with the actual limits lest any
wandering fancy should distract their
attention at the important moment
and so the boys were bumped heavily
upon the ground whenever the bound
ary was reached or if the limit were
a stream that was much better for
the urchins were thrown in and pad
dled about until their attention was
awake
Is that stream the boundary one
of these witnesses was asked in his
riper age
Ees he answered hastily ees
that tis Im sure ot by the same
token that I were tossed intot and
paddled about there like a water rat
till I were haafe deead
When Not to Smoke
By exhausting the salivary secretion
smoking before meals prevents the
physiological action of the saliva on
starchy foods Smoking just before
going to bed is often followed by in
somnia because the stomach contains
a quantity of unneutralized juice
which irritates the mucosa and gives
rise to a sensation of hunger This
distressing consequence may be avert
ed by taking either some light food or
a little bicarbonate of soda before re
tiring to rest in order to neutralize the
secretion London Lancet
