In these tests three lots of steers were used. One lot consisfed of two-year-olds that averaged 693 poOfTds when the feeding started. A lot of yearlings averaged 615 pounds and the calves averaged 324 pounds. The calves gained 2.43 pounds a day and put on 100 pounds gain at a cost of $10.08. The yearlings required $13.89 worth of feed to gain 100 pounds In weight, and they gained only 2.11 pounds a day. The two-yearolds gained 2.1S pounds a day and ate $14.48 worth of feed to gain 100 pounds. The baby beeves, after having the same kinds of feeds for the same length of tlnie, showed a return above feed cost of $33.43 a head. The year^ lings had a return of $22.11 and the two-year-olds $21.31 above feed cost when marketed at the end of the 240- day feeding period. These feeding tests revealed that feeders can afford to pay a higher price for lightweight calves ns the gains during the feeding period are so much cheaper. f Other tests carried on at the same time showed that one lot of steers which was fed Iron oxide with the regular mineral mixture showed the best gain of auy of the lots used In the mineral tests. They gained 2.023 pounds a day and 100 pounds of gain W>st $11.47^ The mtneraI mixture usefl was 49.97 per cenl of special bonemeal, 49.97 per cent of ground limestone, and .06 per cent of potassium iodide. To this standard mixture was added 2 per cent of iron oxide. Experiments also showed that barrel salt gave best results early In the feeding trials as the cattle had Just come off the range pnd consumed larger quantities than later. Block salt was found satisfactory during the final months of the feeding period. Care of Lambing Ewes in Winter and Spring D. E. Kfsk, of the New Hampshire station, gjves the following about winter and spring care of ewes: • Shelter for ewes in the months .Just' before lambing time is necessary, but It Is not a good practice to keep them in a closed barn, unable to exercise.* A good yard in "which sheep can keep a dry footing is one of the best aids to bringing the ewes through the late winter season In good condition. In the house, or shed about 15 square feet of floor space Is required by the average ewe. The real need of the shed Is for protection from storms, the fleece affords sufficient warmth when dry. There must be plenty of ventilation without drafts. If the quarters are airy and comfortable the sheep will resort to them whenever necessary. As lambing time draws near, the ewes should be closed In during the night so that lambs do not become chilled. Feeding practices will depend on the condition as a fat ewe does not need as much grain as a thin one. The best available hay--elUier alfalfa or clover --should be fed *ust before lambing. Thin ewes will require about one pound of grain dally. A good mixture Is one of 30 pounds cornmeal or hominy, 30 pounds of ground oats, 20 pounds of bran, and 10 pounds of oil meal.

Des Moines, Iowa.--If you are one of the many Americans -whose Ideas of astronomy are nearly as vague, as far off Venus on a misty night, then prepare for knowledge--It Is beaded your way. „ *• Dr. D. W. Morehouse, whose name Is a by-word wherever men gather round the base of a long telescope to gaze at the heavens, believes recent publicity given developments In the world oi astronomy, together with establishment of planetariums In the United States, has had a tendency to popularize the sclenc& ' - This, In the opinion of the educator, Is a good sign. "Too many peopl#," he said, "still believe that stars fail; that many are lost to the heavens every night, and that new ones sprout in the blue like .blossoms on a cherry tree." The "reporter hesitatingly admitted been deceived for years h'- falllng "jtars," and had sent many a shout of "money, money, money,'" after the flash of light from the heavens In furtherance of a childish superstition. Doctor Morehouse chuckled and explained these were meteors and that stars themselves remain fixed. Planetariums, where the stellar unl-' verse fc projected 03 a domelike screen to be studied and explained in detail, will be of greatest assistance in knowledge of the movements of heavienly bodies, In Doctor Morehouses' opinion. "There 4s nothing bizarre or sensational," he explained, "about astronomy to" make it good newspaper copy unless ns, in the recent case of Pluto, a new planet is discovered.'* He acknowledged, however, au increasing use of stories of the sciences by newspapers throughout* the world. I >octor Morehouse is president of Drake university and professor of astronomy at the school, where he considers his unusually large class this year a possible indication „of the science's increasing popularity. Boast of Five-Pound Trout--It's a Rainbow Washington. -- From the trout streams of the Great Smoky Mountains National park comes a story to arouse skepticism among followers of the "rod and reel."

Organized hunters and fishermen of New Jersey will go in force before the state Legislature to obtain an increase of 50 cents in hunting and fishing license fees, according to a report to officials of the American Game Protective Association. Enthusiasm for the higher cost of license has become practically unanimous in New Jersey, the game officials said, due to the highly favorable results obtained through a similar move of sportsmen a few years ago, when they added 50 cents to the license fees. Increased game distribution made possible by the new funds ha» given New Jersey sportsmen the best hunting in many years, the officials declared. The state fish and game commission achieved a new record for game propagation in releasing 25,000 ringneck pheasants and 15,000 western rabbits this season and in other restoration projects, reports show. The new license returns to the commission will not only provide for more game and fish, they said, but for the purchase of long term leases by the state of cheap lands for public hunting grounds. A similar move in at least one other state is expected, reports showing that the Montana Sportsmen's Association has indorsed an increase in the license price of Montana to $3.
