This world is not yet familiar with the c.indact of all her common foods under every animal eoudition, mach as has been dona by experts. There IS still a wide field ot enquiry even with cereals, and hence we are trying to help in that direction. When the Ontario oatmeal millers asked us to give a place to their in- terest similar to other grain and feed- ing materials we responded at once, and now have to report the beginning of a series of tests, having in View to ascertain the value to cattle of some of those forms of meals and grain not usually looked upon as applicable to lower animal life, because possibly of their greater value for man himself. The question is not alone the cost of producing beef or dairy products with these, but to obtain facts on the im- portant one of the direct effects of special products on animal growth as well as milk. It is well to remember in this connectiou that while the test- ing of one k:nd of food can be taken in comparison with another, it should not neccessarily be held as such with a mixture of them, or rather of a pro- perly balanced ration, because on one kind of food is equal to the proper maintenance of life anywhere â€" milk for a certain period excepted. With this explanation we have pleasure in giving a brief account of what oat- meal and wheat have said to us dur- ing the past winter in the growth of of store cattle. We handled six head, three heifers and three steers, from two to three year old, and having Durham, Here- ford, Aberdeen Poll and Holstein blood in their breeding; average weight on entry 1,281 His. These were properly paired and grouped so as to allow of rotating from one ration to another every third week, beginn- ing January 7th and ending March 10th. One week was allowed between each change in order to over- influence the previous feeding before precise testings were noted, and of course each meal of all the animals was yeiehted and every other proper thing attended to as in all exact work of the kind. The oatmeal by the desire of the Millers' Association, was obtained from Mount Forest th« winter wheat was of our own growth and grindiug. As a sequence oi the reasoning giving in second paragraph, as well hs of the fact that the same agents(plaut or an- imals) should always be allowed their normal conditions during an experi- ment for comparison with ordinary or well known things, we made an- other ration with ground pease and oats. The following were, therefore, the daily rations employed per head No. 1. 25 lbs. mangels. 10 Sbs. timothj bay. 5 Sbs. oat straw. 2Ibs wheat bran. All cut. pulped aud mixed twice or thrice a week. 12 lbs. oat- meal, mixed with above when served. No. 2. 42 lbs. pulp as above. 8 Ibe. wheat (winter) mixed as above. No. 3. 42 lbs. pnlp as above. 8 lbs. ground oats. 4 lbs. ground pease. Mixed as above. These rations may be criticised by the practical farmer in this way About equal weight of dry fodder aud of grain and about half of the whole Iieiug roots; plenty bulk and variety; looks more like a good meal for cows than fattening cattle. The marked value of the material per head for the whole period of the test; under deduction of what was nn- consumed and the approximate nu- tritive ratio of each course are Oatmeal ration cost 911.30; n. r 1:7.08. Wheat ration coat $9.82 n. r. 1:7.98. Pease and oat ration cost S8.10 n. r. 1:6.10 Now in preparing ourselves tor the actual results oi the feeding by a study of these ratious based on the chemical composition of the foods, we should expect that the peas and oats would do best, the oatmeal second and the wheat third. This is not always safe reasoning, however, as the form or mechanical composition of food has a great deal to do in animal economy and often upsets our best theories there is no chemist equal to Digestion. I am indulging thus because the pre- scribed Bulletin is not Urge enough for all details of the testing, but is sufficieut for abstract criticism. Or it might be guessed that as the oatmeal ration is the most free of any crude materials, such as skin or husk of tlie grain, it will be more iudigetftible and therefore cannot give results equal to the wheat with its shell and the pease aud oats with their roogher skins. But what are the pradtieal facts in this preliminaty eoquiry Over all the period of 68 days with Bouiatmixk ditee gnrnps. rotated, ^od Mtegpkher uadu «ii^ mtnace* Oatmeal, .47, or almost Lalf poond. Vheat, .93, or nearly one pound. Peas and oats. 1.30, or about 1| pound. That there is interesting material here connot be doubted. Rich in albumin, and particularly in fat, as oatmeal is. very considerable over all others in this testing, except albumin in pease, it may be considered that because oi its compactness as a food, or rather perhaps its want of uatu?'al husk, and even though mixed with coarse, bulky fodders it is more in- digestible than either wheat, pease or oats. The theoretical feeding value of thp three rations being regulated by the respective grains, and wheat being the least in that respect, (see nutritive ratio) we should expect the poorest result in the animal report hut it has almost doubled the daily rates of oatmeal, and I find no such irregularity or back-going in its use as we had in two instances with dif- ferent groups of cattle in the case of oatmeal. The most prominent back- going was when the changes were made from wheat to oatmeal. Another look at the relative com- position of these rations and of their digestibility shows that we have had a close agreement between science and practice in this testing. Of the oat- meal 77 per cent, is considered to be taken up by the animal system, 83 per cent, of winter wheat, and as much as 84 per cent, of the mixture of pease and oats is digestible. In conclusion, therefore, it may be taken as correct to say that oatmeal is too rich, as well as valuable of course ($35 per ton,) for extensive use to store cattle, and may be should only be given sparingly to calves and milch chows, as to which we should have something to say next winter. Wheat for the second time in our ex- perience, has giyen a good record in cattle feeding, when its concentrated form a considered, though much of this result is due uo doubt to the coating usually called bran.

The following is a resume oiihe laws in force regarding the receiving of newspapers. 1. Subscribers who do not give ex- press notice to the contrary are con- sidered as wishing to continue their snbEcriptiou. 2. If the Bubscribers order the dis- continuation of their periodicals the publisher may continue sending them until all arrearaees are paid up. 8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to wliich they are directed they are held responsible untill tbey have settled their bill and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places and fail to inform the publish- er, and the papers are sent to the former direction, they are held re- sponsible. 5 The courts have decided that re- fusing to take periodicals from the office, {)r removing and leaving tbem uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6.11 subscribers pay in advance theyareboiindtogiye notice to the publisher at the end of their time, if they do do not wish to continne taking it otherwise the publisher is anthoris- ed to send it on and the snbscrilter is responsible until express notice, with payment of all arrears, is sent direci jto the publisher. The latest postal Jaws are sach that newspaper publidiers can arrest any-i one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under the law the man who allows his sobscriptiou to ran along for some time aopaid, and then orders it diacontinned. or (wders the postmast^ to mark it "Ke- gfled/- and have a postal card sent ^-*'*-ingthepobU8h«r^ lagw himself toanart«ii4fi]», saina as lnr TheMarMale _- ^«*«^"ed every Tiitt,^ CW.
