Snsar Kv-t.. Bulletin 0 of the Ohio Experiment statiin gives the results of several years test as to the comparative feed ing qualities of corn siiag'e and sugar beets. The summary as fallows: 1. Our contrast of corn silage and rield beets for miik production leads to tiie following conclusions. I. The feeding of bets to milk cows has already increased the consumption cf other foods and of total dry matter. i. Beets have always produced an in crease in the flow of milk and in the total yie d of butter-fat. but this in crease bas never been suflicient to offset the additional consumption of food. 3. The cows have always shown a greater average live weight while feed ing on beets. A part of this increase ' was probably due to increased weight of the contents of the digestive tract, but a part seems, to have be en actual ga.n. 4 Beets have not diminished the amount of water drank, although fed in such quantity as to increase the watery contents cf the food by thirty pounds per day " "ur experiments do not justify the assumption that the dr- matter of !lft "; n n r n-.T-n ilTt'i irr ic n faln food, pound for pound, than the drv matter of -ilaire made from well ma ture.', corn cntaming : f- !? per cent or era n.

Altogether the number of men re quired for police duty on a captire battle ship would be very large, and a victor:oits ship would have to reduce the etlieiency of her own gun crews to an unpleasant extent. It would prob ably be found necessary in almost j every case for the captor to stand by 1 and accompany her prize home across i tne Atlantic ir the Paeiflc. as the case ' might be.
