Agricultural Experiment Sta. tion (Lincoln, Nebraelta) onducted aerica of experiments that extended amine 1It14 tend 1916. For the Purdue University trial (helve Western, lamas were purchased Mk the lineage market, and were tea fur 90 Caya:. liciere being started on feed, the lannis were divided into Mee equal lets of 25 animale each, An lots were as nearly equal as possible ae to Nvoight, quality, condition, thrift, sex tual breed. Lambs were fed twice (tally at the mule aours. Lots 1 to 8, ittelusive, were fed in an open shed facing south., upon different rations. Lot a WAS fed in a well ventilated barn. The followiug rations were fed: 1,ot 1-S1el1ed corn, eeven parte; cettonseed meal, one part, and corn Let 2-She11ed corn, two parts; oats, tate part by weight; clover hay and vont silage.

Lot 8 -Shelled corn, four parts; cot- tonseed meal, one part; clover hay and corn silage. Lot 9 -Shelled corn, clover aay and corn silage, , Wed in barn). For the 'University of Nebraska trluls the lambs icere purchased on ilie Omaha market. They were of av- erage quality, and weighed"e2 pounds. They were divided into five lots of 50 Maths each, and, were fed the follow- ing rations: 1 Lot 1 -Ground corn, ground alfalfa and corn eilaste. Lot 2 -Ground corn and ground al- falfa. -Lot ae-Saelled corn and good alfalfa hay. Lot 4 -Shelled core, good alfalfa hay and corn silage. . Lot 5 -Shelled corn and poor alfalfa hay.. RESULTS AT PURDUE. The feeding of eorn silage in addi- tion to hay and corn resulted in more rapid and more economical gains on the lambs. There was a saving of $1.21 on each 100 pounds of gain and an increased profit of 40 cents per head by the use of corn silage. Corn silage without dry roughage ewes not as Satigactory as when fed in combination with hay or straw. The lambs were eharder to- keep on feed end made less rapid gain when no dry roughage was fed. The ad. aition of oat straw greatly improved ill° ration and provei more economi- eel than the addition of clover hay.• Clover hay was slightly superior to alfalfa hay as roughage for fattening lambs.. There was no difference la the quantity of feed oaten by lambs on the two tatIons, but the rate ot gain was more ropal and the cost of grain .was lege when clover hay, instead of alfalfa, was tea. eahere. waa a greater erofit when clover hay was fed. The tele of cottonseed meal in a ra- tion of corn, corn silage and clover hay wars economical. The rate ef gala was higher, the cost of grain was lese and the profit per head was increaeed ay. tha. use of the cottonseed meal. The larobe. fed a ration of corn, cora cilage and clover hay returned a pro- fit of -$1.04 per head; those fed corn, reven parte; tiottaneeed meal; one part; corn silage, and clover hay re- turned a prcent of'$1.15 per head, and those fed a ration of corn, four pares; tettonseed meal, one part; corn sit- ege and clover hay returned a profit $1.22 per head. - The addition of oats to a fatien-of corn, corn silage and clover hay de- creased the rate of gain, increased the cost of gain and decreased the .profit per head. Lambs fed corn alone as grain returned a profit of $1.04 per head as compared with 87 cents per head when oats were sdded to the ra- tion, Lambs fed iii a well ventilated barn ate the same quantity of feed and gained practkally the same number of pounds an weight as others fed the same ration in an open ebed. . The lambs fed.in the barn did not develop into ae firm-fleshadeanlinats 'ae `those fed in -the open shed and were not as valuable foe selling allePoses. There was a difference of 10 cents per hun- dred pounds in selling value and a dif- fereabe et ten cents per head inpre- fit in favor of feeding in .an Open field.. RESULTS AT NEBRASKA. The ration composedof shell corn and alfalfa hay •gave. somewhat the best mints, although shelled Corn, 'al- falfa hay and corn silageaproved to be and alfalfa and feeding the two as mixture was not profitable.

The feeding of a poor grade of al- falfa hay, namely, taalcal that cuttiag, off -colored nay, with shelled cern, in comparison with the feeding of a good, clean grade of leafy alfalfa with shell- ed corn ,indicated that the former was not nearly as valuable as the latter in Producing mutton, In fact, the good hay proved to be twice the value or the Poor hay. • The daily amount of feed consumed and the net profit in each lot was as follows: Lot No. 1-1.49 poundS of ground corn; 0,596 pound of ground alfalfa and 0.725 pound of silaga.

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS, That more farmers are keeping their hogs on clover pasture in summer, ands in light, clean well -ventilated pens in winter, is given as a reason for the greater- prevalence of hog health dur- ing the past year. And it is undoubt- erly correct, The practice of selling calves, yearle ings and other cattle by weight has become common in the Eastern States, where a few years ago it was the cus- tom of the cattle buyer to visit -the farms, inspect the herds and select the stock he. wanted at so much per head, basing the price on his (awn esti- mates of weigbt. Under this system the drover took no chances, and the farmer usually lost out in the deal. Tae only business -like method of seal- ing cattle, sheep or hogs Is by actual weight, and the farmer should be on hand to see the weighing done. The secret of the farmers' success is, "We have learned to feed ourselves," The man who expects to harvest a full chop will not, wait until planting time to plow. tl looks as though ehe year 1916 will arove another year of exceptionally high prices for cattle. 4) 4, FINANCIAL SENSE.

Another thing -the ball or shell Mlle at agreater angle than that with which it started.

But meantime the action of gravitation is pulling it farther -and farther downward from its initini path. The net result is to bring it to earth much sooner than it the second half of its flight were the counterpart (reversed) of the first half. -Sidney Graves Keen, M, E., in I,eslie'e.

The most potent remedy for thio condition is habit -the habit of fix - Jug upon a regular hour to try to have an evacuation. Tlx bowel can bp taught to empty etself at a given time. When the bowel has acquired the hab- it of expelling its contents at a fixed hour it will not fail to do it. No per- son, unless suffering from a recogniz- ed tlieease of the intestival tract or of the nervous system, need suffer from constipation. - The first thing .to do to •correct con- stipation is to so arrange one's time 90 i19 to leave a regular hour for going to the closet, and theu to keep rigidly to ehe liour, The inajOrity of people /laving work to do every day may say, "Oh 4 newer have time to think of taking care (if myself," Vile type of person becomee ill from his lack- of attention to himeelf, and all too fro, quently pays a heavy price for his raiglect of his body's need.

Youag girls lose'their pink and white loveliness when they suffer from constipation. Among some of the diseases that' result from neglecting to attend to the daily evacuation of the bowels are appendicitis, ulceration in the bowels, hemorrhoids and fevers. When constipation has been long es- tablished it cannot be quickly broken up without the aid of medicines; Mese are always needed for immediate re- lief, It Should be borne in mind by all persons that coustipation can be pre - meted by hal*, and even after it has existed it can be cured by establishing the habit of trying to evacuate the bowel at a fixed • hour every day. Pro- time to attend to tills feature of the ablyit)oii et. of f atisfactoay all hours during the 24, af- ter breakfast is the most a. Diet 'plays a part in regulating the activities of the digestive tract. The normal and daily action of the bow- els may- be affected by the food eaten, Fruits and vegetables (the green and fresh ones) are necessary in the daily dietary, for they increase- the activity of the bowels. Water -drinking also le an urgent need; water flushes the in- testinal canal, aislodges and dissolves masses of haaa waste materials and sweep them downward for evacuation. Medicine to take for • the temporary relief of constipation maybe given at bedtime or early in the morning half an hour or ao before breakfast. What are known as saline laxatives are the medicines which give the quickest relief, such as a seidlitz pow- der, the contents of the blue paper dis- solved in a scant half -glass of cold water; then pouir the two glasses of liquld jogether axed drink It all. Thie dose, taken anytime during the day, relieves a severe headache or sicknesa, in the stomach. The effervescing el- trate- of magnesinm is excellent for the same parpose; so, too, is phos- phate' of sodium (effervescent). The cheaper salines are plain Rochelle salt, Epsom salt and Glauber's salt. Any one of them three, salts can be bought by the pound or less. The dose of each is a heaping teaspoonful in a tumblerful of cold water, taken upon 'rising in the morning. Of these salts the Rochelle is the most agreeable flavor and the Epsom the least. As our happiness depends so Much upon our good Leaith, it is most im- portant that we take great pains to prevent loss of health. To prevent and. cure constipation is taking a big step In preventing deterioration in health.

Puslialong-this is not aer real name but the one her crew gave bet' -was tramping her beat in a stormy sea, which nearly rolled over her one nainute and galloped contemptuously across her decks the next. She was ou what is offtelally call- ed examination duty-"blockadinga le the unofficial name for it, Her busi. nees was to patrol a given stretch ot water, as a constable does hie beat, and see that no 'vessel elipped by ber without giving an account ot itself; where it was coming from, tvlaither It was going, what cargo it had on board, and various other matters that many a merchant sktpper would much' rather keep to himself than tell a King's ship these dam The funnels of a steamer ellowed upon the horizon and Pushalang raced oft tO meet her. Some fifteen minutes' hard steaming brought her alongside the stranger- welch proved to be a -merchantman: flying a _neutral flag. "Lie to, I'm going to board you," signalled Pushalong, Knowing' it was -u iless to object, the vessel obeyed. the command. Out swung one -of Push- along's boats, and a search party, 'headed be an officer, jumped into it. Very soon they were aboard the ship, being met as they clambered over her side by the c ptain, wit° showed his papers, The search officer glanced through these. "Agricultural imple- ments for -e," he comMented, "But I shall have to examine your cargo," "All rights"- replied the skipper, turn - "Ing to his mar and ordering them to "Off luttehes." - Tile a 'rob. peaty looked through the sliip and found her full of agricul- tural implements, as the manifestb stated, Everything appeared correct, But when the inspection was nearly ended a bluejacket casually tapped a plough 'handle e It rang sttepiciously, so he pulled out his clasp knife and scraped off some of the paint, His eyes opened in surprise and he quick- -1Y picked up a ploughshare and ecrap- ed that also. "Lcok sir," he exclaimel. to his offi- cer. • 431 copper, tons of it," and he waved his hand toward the cargo. - In a moment the officer betame alert. More articles were scraped - and with a like result, It was true that the ship carried a cargo Of farm. ing implements. There were ploughs, ploughshares, harrows, aad various other aids to husbandry.. But the whole lot was made of copper, nicely painted over, and to the eye looked just like the real thing. It would have been no trouble to have melted them into ingots had they '"got, through," but they did not. "Well, that's a tette trick," ejacu- lated the officer, who, turning to the skipper of the elite, mid, "I'm going to take you into -" --- She was a beamy old Duteh trewl- er. At least, she flew the Dutch flag and her skipper was apparently as jolly an old Dutchman as one could meet. Be said he was a Dutchman and appearances corroborated the state- ment. When the patrol boat went alongside his vessel he welcomed it jovially and ,pointed to his wells, which were overflowing with fish. "You seem to have-amade a good catch," remarked the officerean °barge of the boat. , . . "Jae ja, a ver' goot catch; would you like some fish for supper?" -re- plied the skipper genially, and forth- with began throwing fish into the boat. He gave liberally, and when the boat pulled away, having found no contraband on the trawler, it carried enough fish to supply half the trew of a Dreadnought, A few days later the same trawler, with the same hearty, professedly Dutch old seadog in command of her, was overhauled by another patrol ves- sel, This time only tae fore well of the trawler contained fish. Her skip- per sought to explain the circumstan- ce by saying that a carrier had taken away part of his catch. '!That may be so," answered the patrol officer, "but I've done a bit of fishing myself and we never went about with one well fall and the other empty. I want to see what you have got lorrs.rd' there, You must move the fish," Hearing this the cloak of geniality fell from the skipper, He began to bluster, but this availed aim noth- ing. The oficer was determined, He had the fish moved, and beneath them fouad-a stiing of mines, - A. paval reserve officer had over- hauled a trawler that was flying a neutral flag without finding' anything wrong about her, and was Piet aliellt. to leave when his eyo fell upon a big eoil of rope lying ;wady Oleg amid- ships. "Thitt's a fine hawser you have there," he rernerked, "Yes," answered the eaptain, Who added something abciut believing In keeping good gear, "arm,refleeted the officer, "It's a Ila hawser for a trawler to carry.
