Knowing Med valeeta anti ems, one can figure ottt the 41.1Oat economic ratiou. Corn eoutains about 70 //auntie of etarclt and about five pounds of oil te every 100 pounds. It is a great heet producer and fat- ten,er in ananels, but Is not en ideal feed for growing animals, as it does not furnisa, the protein. for =MI° anti bone growth that is needed. The oil whit% it contains ntakes the animels very fond of it It luta often, been said that yellow corn, was more uutritioutt thau white corn, but there le abso- lutely no difference in the feediag valise. Flint corn has a, larger pre - portion of cob than the (lent corn. Old corn -contains about 12 Per cent. of water, while new earu will contain as much as 86 per cent. Corn in which. there is more than 20 per cent. of wa- ter will not lteep in any great quanti- ties. Shelled corn does not keep well M summer, and corn that has been. frosted should be utilized by :Immedi- ate feeding. Corn and cob meal is the whole ear grouod fine. OTHER USEFUL FEEDS. 13ran makes a very useful feed for °Ace or twice each week, whengiven to horses as a mash. It may also be fed dry with oats to a very good ad- vantage. Flour wheat middlings are of a 'higher grade than standard mid- dlings, as they often Contain a large Percentage of, low grade flour. Mid- dlings are very good feed for swine of all ages. " Oats is the safest feed for the borse, as 'the hulls give it enough bulk a ) the 'horse very rarely gorges himself. To mature horses with good teeth they should be fed waole. The spirited condition Mend M the horee fed on oats is not obtaind 'with ony other feed. There is no better feed than oats for dairy cows, and it is also a very good feed for breeding swine. The oat hulls are a by-product of oatmeal factories and as such are sometimes ground along with corn and sold as ground oats and corn. In sections where corn and oats do not thrive well barley is used exten- sively as a feed.- Many horses are fed on rolled barley; with Wheat or oats, or on barley hay for roughage. Barley should be prepared for feeding, by rolling and not by grinding, as ground barley forms a pasty mess in the animal's mouth. Dried brewers' tgrains make a very satisfactory feed for dairy cows and horses, hut are satisfactory for Pigs. Malt sprouts should be soaked several hours before feeding to cattle, as they are not very well relished. Practical experience has taught us that cottonseed meal Is not a sa,fe feed in all cases, Dr. G. H. Conn says steers that have been closely confined for a period of 100 days a.nd beeu heavily fed on cottonseed meal aften develop a staggering gait •and aeceteaa blihd and die. It is particularly fatal to swine in from five to six weeks. No satisfactory way has been found .by.. which cottonseed meal may be safely fed to swine. Cottonseed meal which has been ex - paged to the air, or that hes been made from musty or fermented seed, should not be weed. It is not as good as linseed meal. OlL MEAL AND GREEN FOOD. There are two methods by which the oil ie extracted from the flaxseed and theyte e known as the new and the ir fe old p , cess. By the old process the oil s exacted by extremely high pres- sure, aawhile by the new process the seedstare crushed and then heated and then eelaced in large percolators. and napateiaepoured over them, When per- colatiale is complete, the naphtha is driveoa :SUP by steam, which passes thrateaaatae percolator, and the rest - Wait "known as new process oil meal. lerinateefour per cent. of the old pro - *sae meal is digestible, while but 84 Went. of the new process is diges- t -tele, which is due no doubt to the aaaeSating of the seeds. It should he fed alfeaen one-half to one and ono -half etbunds and sheep from one-fourth to . ate -third pounds daily. It should be -1J6ught in the original cake and then •raduced to about the size of.a, hickory asetejest before feeding, as it is more palatable and does away with any ca teeee Of adulteration. A field bean when it is damaged by rein or dampness Ines, be fed to .eatattp, and swine. When fed to swine i' they should be cooked in twit water ..end fed with some other grain. a *GREEN FORAGE AND FODDER. : Corn under favorable conditions will aroduce from 30,000 to 50,000 pounds a green forage per acre, which con - Veins from 6,000 to 3,000 pounds of dry digestible matter. When corn is grown close together very little grain forms, but we have a tall, oarse grass which cures into a nice, bright hay. The term corn Mader is applied to the stalks either growl or dry from which the ears or nubbitte have not been removed. When corn is plat:tad about three Inches apart It produces e err few goad ears, but an abundance of riebbinf and largo quantities of dry, digestible matter. The largest yield will foleow planting it about one foot apart ai rows. So if the farmer Wants forageeam will plant tho corn so close that Lae ears will Only be about half size, oelletwise he will plant in rows.

The Vast Difference in Conditions Upon Mos and Jupiter, In an article entitled "Is Mars Alive?" in. the Popular Seience Month- ly Waldemar Kaeropffert describes the poseible appearance of a Martian. In speaking of the different conditions prevailing on the planets Mr, Kampf- fort says: ."Tae bigger thesplatiet on whieh you live, the harder it is for you to move about, If you were suddenly transport- ed to Jupiter, the largest of the plan- et°, and if yon were able to live on its semi -molten surface, you would find it hard to lift your arm. A. steam crane would be welcome acsistance in moving your body about. This is due entirely to the enormous gravitation-, al attraction which Jupiter would ex- ert upon yo11. The bigger the planet the harder are you pulled down te ite sedate); the harder it is to put, your foot forward. "Mars la only one -ninth as massive as the earth. Hence you would weigh much less on Mars than you do on the earth, A. Martian porter could easily carry as much as a terrestrial ele- phant. A Martian. baseball player could bat a ball aerate. A very ordinary Mar - that athlete could leap with ease over a moderately sized house. Because his planet is not able. to pull him down with the attractive fOrce, that the e,arth exerts upon tea the typical Martian has conceivably attained a stature that we would regard as gigantic. Three timeas large as a human -be- ing, this creature has muscles twenty- seven times as effective, His trunk must be fashioned to inclose lungs Cap- able ot breathing the excessively at- tenuated Martian air in sufficiently large quantities to sustain life. As a canal digger—assuming that he had no machinery—he would be a great success, because he would excavate a canal with the speed and effictency of aesettall Panama canal steam shovel. e -"Beyond that we cannot go. Intelli- gence is not necessarily a human. at- tribute. It has so happened on this earth that man has becomethe domi- nant race not because of his physical powers, but because of his arsine, It may well be that the biological condi- tions of Mars are such that a creature very unhulnan in appearance may have gained the ascendency In the struggle for existence on a planet that is fast drying up." Rheumatism Goes Quickly Its Virus Forever Destroyed EVERY CASE IS CURABLE. Good-bye to Rheumatism! Your aching joints, your stiff, sore muscles, those sleepless nights and, suffering days—good-bye forever— your day is gone. Sufferer, cheer up, and read the good news below, "A man met me a months ago, and zaid, 'Don't stay crippled, quit com- plaining, limber up.' My answer was, ette, rheumatic. I can't do it.' He looked Inc over in a pitying sort of way and, told me to go to .the nearest drug store for Nerviline and Ferro - zone. The 'combination had cured him. I was convinced of hie sineeritY and followed his instructions. I rub- bed on Nerviline three times every day—rubbed it right into my aching joints. The pain quickly lessened, and I became more limber and active.

The central eontrol board's new Model plAblic-house at Carliele, which eas been namett the Gretna Tavern, Was opened here this alter/10On bY Ltird Lansdale, Tile Gretna; TaYeru is a Converted POGeoftice skilfully adaptee by Me.

It is as far reMoved from a Gothenburg bolag tavern or a German bier anile as from a British public- liouee of any type. It is neither dingy, like the old style of potbouse, nor gar- ish like the new, nor "quaint" like the still newer fumy imitationof antique architecture, nor giracrackilite moet Coffee taverns end temperance re- freshnlent rooms. It le a olid stone building of dignified aspeet, occupying aeoraraaading Pesition in a aigaiffea Street. Incite the two principal rooeTs are a long open bar formed out of the old selling counter, with very little al- teration, and a large hall behind which was the sorting room, The latter serves the new PUrP0A0 admirably. It Is epacious, lofty and well lighted, There is a counter at which various things will- be sold, several tables at wilich meals and minor refreshments will be served, a stand for newepapere, a piano, gramophone, and sundry con- veniences, Adjoining the hall is a well-equip- ped kitchen where all kinde of meals can be cooked ,and a storeroom. There are also some rooms for the attendante and the manageress, but no sleeping aecommodation, No one, will sleep on the premises. The only alcoholic liquor that will be served is beer. Customers must drink standing at the bar; in the hall beer will be brought to them seat- ed .at the tables. The idea is to en- courage people to stop for rational ree creation by making them comfortable, but not for mere drinking. The opening of this establishment, which has been eonverted to its pre - Sent purpoee in three weeks, marks a definite stage in the evolution of a large scheme of liquor traffic control in this slistrict. The occasion for em- barking on the scheme was the crea- tion of a colossal munitions factory in the neighborhood of Carlisle, begun last autumn. The preparation ot the ground, the making of made and rail- roads and the erection of hundreds of buildings over an area nine miles in length brought many thousands of workmen to the spot. They flowed over the neighboring villages and the mail to of Annan and into Carlisel it- self, where some 5,000 are now ac- commodated in lodginge all about the town. It wae foreseen that :the influx of so large a body of men, most of whom are navvies and day laborers, gathered from Scotland, Ireland and all parts of England, would cause difficulties. They have nothing to do In the even- . ings and nowhere to go but to the pub- lic -house; and the local public -houses, being for the most part email and quiet places fitted for a rural popula- tion, were quite unfitted to eope with the flood of strangers. So the board 'be- gan to take them over and gradually acquired all the licensed houees sur- rounding the area. Some 40 have been bought. A few have been closed, the rest are managed for the board. Then the same process was extended to Car- but,the transaction is not yet completed there, and the houses have not been actually taken over. In the ease of these pre-existing houses the premises are, of course, old onee, al- though, they may undergo some rear- rangement. The change lies in the ownership and management. It will be seen from the foregobeg that the Gretna tavern introduces a new element into the experiment. It offers the British workman and work - woman an :eeal sort of public -house. The idea is not new and private en- terprise has already made some es- says in the same direction, But I have never seen anything quite- like Gretna tavern and the direct ownership and management by a department of state is a new departure. The board is fol- lowing it up by building two more model taverns co the same lines, one at each end of the factory area. It remains to he seen how they will be appreciated by the workmen for whom they are intended. Too much must not be expected at fired. Britieh workmen, especially these of this claes, are stow to move from their habitual tastes. The model taverns are more likely to be appreciated by the factory workers who will come in due course when the works are completed and the navvies have melted away. Ili any case, the experiment is highlaen- tereeting and it cannot fail to in- fluence the future of the liquor traf- fic. Some useful lessons will be learn- ed irons the experience if care is taken to draw thern correctly. Hasty infer- entea And foregone coneluelons, inspir- ed by prejudice or hope, are to be de- precated, It is very diffieult In the present abnermal circumstances, when When so many new factors have conae Into play together ,to trace the true relations of cauee and effect—as an Instance, the increase of drunkenness ehown by the police returns in this district. It has been cited as evidence of the failure et the experiment here; but it is obviotisly due to the influx of 12,000 hetaeless navvies, Six months hence it May be pcssibIe to eubinist the results to a judicial examination and draw some valid conelusions.

Power and Possibilities That Are Locked in an Atom, The meat generally acceptea theory about the structure of the atom— which is no louger regarded as the ultimate indivisible partiele ot anY elenient, as this of come could have no structure—is that n is positively charged nucleus surrounded seta tem of eleetrous which are kept to-, sealer by attractive forces from the nu- cleus Taus it becomes a ;tort of in- fiultestimally small solar system. In an article in the General Elec- tric Review, Dr. Saul Dushman draws the following conclusions from a discussion of the laws that govern the atoms of the several elements; "Considering the relatiouships ex- hibited by the different radioaptive elements, one realizes that 'the dream of the alchemists may not have been as fatuous as has appeared until re- centle. The concept of an absolutely stable atom must be discarded °ace for all, and its place is taken by this miniature solor system, as it were, consisting of a eentral nucleus and one or more rings of electrone. "But the nucleus itself is apparently the seat of immense forces, and in spite of its exceedingly iefinitesimal dimensions it contains both alpha par- ticleand electrons. Once In awhile the nucleus of one of the atoms will spontaneously disintegrate and expel an alpha, or beta particle. A new ele- ment has been born. What causes these transformations? Can they be controlled? These are questions which only the future can anewer, But it we had it in our power to remove two alpha particles from the atom of bis- muth or any of its isotropes, not only would the dream of the alehemietebe realized, but man would be in posses- sion of such intensity powerful sources of energy that all our coal mines„ water powers and explosives would become Insignificant by com- parison." A GOOD SUGGESTION The tragic frequency of collisions between automobiles and railway trains at railway crossings is being dealt with boldly by the Long Island Rtalway, which has initiated a strik- ing poster campaign showing the recklessness with which motorists ignore all danger signs, not only at their own risk, but often at the cost of many other lives. "Jail Might Stop Them—We Can't," is one particularly vivid picture, showing a touring auto With brilliant headlights dashing past a signal in front of a passenger train. Automobile associations all over the country are being appealed to in the hope that a concerted effort may be made to stop this reckless practice ot speeding over grade crossings. Cana- dian automobile associations raight well take this lesson trans the United States, as accidents of a. similar na. ture in this country are by no means rare. A train moves faster than the motorist may calculate. Another post- er has the caption, "We Can't Stop the Horses," and show?, a driver asleep with his team about to run througla the gates. THE HEIGHT OF MOUNT EVEREST World's Highest Peak Was • Never Ascended. Is in Wild Country, and At- tempts Are Barred. For many years the East Indian government has prohibited any at- tempt ,at the ascent of Mount Everest. As long ago as 1902 six European Al- pinists set out for India to view the world from the top of its highest mountain. But the virgin snows of Everest could not, have coeled their ardor half so 'rapidly as did the eold water with which the Indian govern- ment soused them. The mountain- eers simply met with a blank refusal, and the reason of it was perhaps ob- vious arid logical. The nearest approaeh -to a railroad.

Some leteresting facts about Mount Everest may not generally be known. *efeety Demons have wondered haw the determination of the height of Mount Everest' could be so exact that its ea evaelon is fixed at . precisely 29,002 feet, It happened in this waY: In 1849 and 1850 six trigonometrical ties terminations of the heigliea etthe mountain were obtained liY this ,Inel- ian survey at six different , stations, all south of the mountain. The ;height of 29,002 feet assigned to Mount Ey- erst was the mean of the six different values for the height just obtained. But the geographical survey 'of In- dia informed the world in 1968 that Mount Everest is higher thee it was computed to be by those six trigouo- metrical determinations. It reported that between 1881 and 1902 six other determinations of the height of the Mountain were =de at five statique, all ,excepting one being nearer to the mountain than the previous surveys. These six new determinations gave a Mean value of 29,141 feet after correc- tion for refraction. According, there- fore, to our present information, Mount Tverest is 139 Let higher than it was earlier computed to be. Why is it then, that this latest re- sult of the scientific computation of the height of Mount Everest has not yet appeared in books and maps? It is because the Indian survey is not convinced that the final determination has been reached. It says that the height, 29,141 feet, is a more reliable result than 29,602 test, but the more recent determination is still probably too small. It desires to ackuire more thorough knowledge of the problems of refraction and of the effects of dev- iations of gravity upon trigonometri- cal work before announcing the final determination of the elevation of the world's highest mountain. Meanwhile it will retain on its, maps the first de- termination of 29,002 feet. This decision certainly commended itself. It would be more vexatious than useful to change the figures now and then in order to add or subtract a few feet as the latest determination of the mountain's heigat. It is bet- ter to wait until refinement of scien- tific methodyields the closest ap- proximation possible. This' is the suggestion of the Indian survey, atid all map makers have apparently adopted it. How Boston Might be Destroyed. One of the most novel methods yet conceived of destroying a city is de- scribed in Popular Science Monthly, The author says: "An' enemy need not bother muster- ing battleships or waste his time bom- barding from afar the intellectual hub of this land of ours. In time of peace let hini have hie spies build a big pumping station rieht in the naiddle of that city, and at the Proper time start drawing indiscriminately from the ground below the water saturating the subsoil. You know a large nem- bor of Boston's big buildings rest upon floating foundations. Pump Out the water in the supporting quicksand, and down those structures would tum- ble into the yawning caves so creat- ed. It would be far more effective 3n its demolition than the projectiles of a hostile fleet."

' PROMISED RARE SPECIMEN, "You see," explained Mr. Ditraars, "when the army went to the border they drove all the snakes away for miles, and it was hare to get OW' raenS. King wrote me that lie drove his flivver automobile across the boundary line into the sand desert in search of some for us, and when b.e was in Mr, Carranza's territory 50M0 deliberately unfriendly natives plug- ged a couple of holes in his gasolene tank with American rifles. He had to go back home and get a couple o horses' to tow his machine to where the snakes were. Of course it hurt after that to hear that one of the few he captured on the trip started a cam- paign of `schreehTichkeit.' Anyhow, he wrote in answer to my letter, say- ing 'the next time I send you one it'll have a horn on it.'" Sure enough, a few weeks later the mysterions snake arrived. It had a beautiful horn, fully an inch long, ex- tending from the skin over the eyes. It was the only reptile the snake ex- perts had seen with such an append- age. The so-called hora rattler of Texas only has two little bumps over the eyes much like the tip on a snail's head. ' "King wrote me that he couldn't classify the snake," said Mr. Ditmars. "But he had discovered an entire race of them, and could furnish any num- ber to the zoo. He asked me to ex- amine it thoroughly and have some other scientists look it over and pos- sibly write a treatise on the neW species." The curator did as Mr. Snake King asked, He called on two or three ex- pert biologists. They gat out their magnifying glasses and their micro- scnoapki eeasanio. and looked at .Senor Snake' "Woederful!" exclaimed one, whose name it wouldn't be fair to tell. "Why, one can see the blood vessels in the membranous composition of the pro- tuberance. It is absolutely genuine and Tbuelliicialle." steither agreed or admitted that they were stumped, But Raymond L. Ditraars has been handling snakes since he was in short knickerboolters, and at the age of 20 he was lecturing on them for the Board of Education, It is said he wasn't a success as a lec- turer, because he insisted on Illustrat- ing his discourses with live specimens inetead of stereOpticon elides. Any- how, he was canny and wary on the new marvel, • "I'll wait until Monsieur Snake sheds his skin," he allowed. SKIN AND HORN CAME OFF. 'the reptile was pat in a glass cage, where the public and mare scientists came to marvel at him. He seemed to enjoy the discussion that he caused, for he refused to slough. In the hot weather the average rattler gets a new suit of scales every fete weeks, like a new Palm, Peach suit, but this one stuck to Ms old uniform until it was positively shabby about the rattles and had a seedy look where it got the most wear. At last came signs of the expected change. The reptile's eyes turned bluish in color and the next morning Mr. Ditm.ars, visiting the dage, saw a strange snake inside. It had a head as bald ef horns as the outside of an egg. But on theskin the old suit which had been discarided, stuck a strange contraption that looked like a bone collar button with the tip sharpened, Mr. A, W.

An elderly man sat near thera listening to their talk and en joying the exuberance of youth which ettale bubbuog Out of them. Presently he drew his enair near them and said: "Your talk taleos Me back a good malty years. I pulled in the race ot 186,— between Harverd and Yale, a race never to be torgottea by Ine on account of a curious =initiation Oa Meted With it," asglytebaitt, tsoir:" ou, stand that I don't put any,lbnutterupnrdeetar. The man hesitated. Presently he tlon on it. "I was at Harvard the year I have mentioned, Yale had beaten us fox several years. We bad lost several consecutive races, and this year we were especially anxIous to break up the run of 111 success and get some en' couregeraent into our supporters by wattling a race. Those who could go back in college affairs said that there had been no success since Wilkins had been captain of the crew and stroke at the same time; We hadn't the coaches in those days you boy- have new and were more dependent upon some single member of the crew. "I was captain cy± the crew in 186— and made it up niyse1f 1 expected to give the stroke, but a couple of months before the rottatta I was taken 111 and when the race was about to come off had not sufficiently reeovered to row at all, I -had a hard time to tind a rnan to take my place in the crew, and as for getting one who could give the stroke and carry the crew to a possible success—it was impossible. "The eveniog before the regatta I was sitting ill my roam at the — House alone and feeling very blue when there came a tap at my door. I said, 'Come in,' and a young man entered who teas one of the most striking fellows in appearance I ever saw. He was vett thinly dressed, and the muscles stood out all over him. The only thing against aim tor etrenath was that he was very pale. "'Going to get licked to -morrow?' he said. suppose so, Who aie you?' "'1 am a Harvard man. 1 reckon I'll bave to help out. Can you Ude me?" "1 asked him a lot of questiens about 'what class he was in, what course he was taking, when he had entered, when Ile would graduate, and could get nothing definite out of him. He said that he was an expert oare- man, and if I could put alit ou the crew and any one after the race at- tempted to prove that he had no right to be there it would be time enough to be more explicit. The college needed a victory, and after a victory it would pluck ma "I fully agreed with him as to tee necessity of a victory and arranged tvitb him to be at the boathouse as the boat was about to be put into the water. He was there, ell resirt, and when in rowing togs his frame was a eight to behold. I've never seen better biceps in my life. When the crew en- tered the boat he took the stroke. "What a, sweep he gave that oar of his! It teemed a feather in his bands. him before, there was no difficulty in all of them keeping perfect time with lAiinznd his stroke was so paled that, m who had ever been in a boat with though there was not a man behind hi "The boat shot out into the middle of the river, where the faces of the crew were not very plain to those on shore, and I was ,glad of it, for I had my doubts about my stroke's right to be there. The boats lined up and inef.) a start at the first Signal to go. "There was a noticeable difference between the work of the two crews. Now and again some Yrae man would send up the spray, but not a man in the Harvard boat struck a cupful of water on the recover, It was all in the leadership of the stroke. "Our fellows took the lead from the first and kept ft around the Stake boat and won the race by a good hundred Yards. It was the prettiest won race ever saw. When I got to the boat- house the men had carried in the boat, I looked around for my stroke, but didn't see him, One of the crew said he had just gone up the bank. I fol. lowed, but he was nowhere to be seen. "It would take a lot of time to tell you what was said alma the intro- duction at the last moment of a new a‘nd unknotvn Man. There was much adverse criticism, and It fell principal- ly on tee. One thing I heard startled me, Several persons who had. known Wilkins when he was in college de- clared that my stroke was he, I won- dered if he had come back and got into the crew without letting me or any one know that he was doing what he had no right to do. 1 learned where Wilkins lived and wrote a line to him asking if he would kindly tell me where he was on the day of the regat- ta,. What do yett suppose was the re- ply? His father wrote me that he had been very 111 for seine thrte and died the evening before the rate, "Now, young gentlemen, I don't wish any comments on my story.

This is a 'rink That Should Pro- duce Artistic Results. In going over one's pictures elimie nate all but the choicest and best be- loved and try to group together the pictures 'whose subjects are somewhat related or which have a, similarity in frames, Indeed, even when subjects are closely related it is not possible always to hang pictures together ow- ing to a too great difference in the kind of frameS. As a rule, any roora looks better, especially small rooms, where only one color frame is used on all pictures, but if this is not pos- sible then the next best thing is to keep all of te pictures in gilt frames in one part of the room, all of the dark framed pictures on another wall, etc. Also Mae ma get the best results by separating water colors and prints, and etchings or engravings should, of course, always be hung apart from other pictures. Another point fre- quently overlooked is the wisdom of putting the darker pictures on the wall that receives the best light from windows and contrariwise the gilt framed pictures. of lighter subjects Where they may serve to brighten a dark part of the rope), lethally do not croWd the walls. Hang pictures well in line with the eyes of a person of average height, and, of course, choose plain Walls, tinted or papered, for backgrounds. The Way to 'loat.
