NEW FACTS ON FEEDING CATTLE Cattle feeders will be interested in the following facts which are contain- ed in a bulletin recently issued by the University of Wisconsin, relative to successful methods of feeding cattle. Balance,d rations are sometimes de- iicient in the elements which make for the best growth of animals. Re. production is often affected by the ration fed to the cow. eA good roughage, preferably a legume hay, should be fed with wheat grain' or its by-products to overcome , their • bad effecte on reproduction. Even with a good roughage, wheat or Its hy-prodncts should not be fed continuously too liberally or the off- spring will be weak. A wheat grain with wheat straw ration is in most cases fatal to both growth and reproduction. It will also produce weak or dead calves. So far as reproduction is concerned the same Statement is true with a corn grain and wheat straw ration. Due to its low mineral content, the over -abundance of a material like wheat straw in the ration is an im- portant factor he premature births. Weak or dead offspring may rqsult from nutritional disturbances brought about by the continued feeding of certaiftm natural feed materials.

The soil alwaY0 and invariably holds part back for future crops, as eve, observing farmer knows who has goon the spots of larger crowtli in the email grains or grasses which have followed a hill - fertilized crop of corn. Fertility tests conducted at the Ohio Experiment Station Illustrate this point, For instance, in a five-Yha.r rotation on the home farm at Woostee one plot is fertilized only on the wheat crop, and the wheat has given a 20. year average increase for the treat- ment of 13.27 bushels pee acre, The clover following the wheat has been Increased by 588 pounds, the tirnothY following the clover by 210 pounds, the corn following the timothy by 7.44 bushels, and the oats following the corn by 3.64 bushels, In other words, 60 per cent. of the value of the total increase has been found in the age receiving the fertilizer, and 40 Per cent. in else four crops which ate at the second, third, fourth and fiftb tables. (FARM NEWS AND VIEWS. Harness should be oiled once or twice a year. This not only improves the appearance but makes the harnesa more durable, and the leather becomes soft and pliable. The harness should be taken apart and all weak and brok- en places mended. For this purpose a box of No. 7 rivets will &me handy, copper being preferred to iron as they do not rot the leather. As the harness Is taken apart and mended. the pieces should be thrown in a tub of milk - warm soft water in which has blien put a cup of soft soap. As soon as the dirt rubs off easily every part should be scrubbed with a small, stiff biush and hung on apole to drain and dry. By the time the last parts are washed the first ones will • :be ready to be oiled. During warm weather selea a good sunny day for washing, and in cold weather use a warm room. After washing the lea- ther ought to be oiled before drying, as- the oil strikes in much better. Take one Strap at a time and give it a good going over and wipe ther- oughly. As the parts dry in the cohrse of an hour, another coat should be given in the same manner. Let the harness lie over night in a warm place and then go over it agein, working each strap through the hands, which makes it more pliable. Two days are required to allow the oil to dry properly; after which the harness should be gone over with a cloth to remove the surplus oil. A paint brush is a good thing with which to apply the oil. There are several good harness oils oa the mar- ket, but if they cannot be secured use No. 1 machine oil, adding about a tablespoonful of lampblack to each The big tomato worm which eats the leaves from the tomato vines is very difficult to see because it so re- sembles the tomato foliage in color. After they get through eating and mature they drop to the ground and burrow in it to pass the winter in the chrysalis stage. In the spring, when the garden is plowed or spaded, these chrysalis may be found and can be recognized by their brown color and ."jug handle" proboscis. Probably there is no other class of live stock in which the use of a pure- bred sire will be manifest more quick- ly tlian in sheep. A good ram when used on a flock of grade ewes will usually have greater ability to stamp his character upon the offspring than will the ewes. A man can afford to purchase a good mutton ram for a small flock of grade ewes. Best results will be had with the stubble and other vegetatien on the land if the land is broken and this material turned under immediately after the grain crop le disposed of. There will be loss in vegetable mat- ter usually if the land is not turned for several weeks.

There is only one thing which im- presses one about this whole business of ministers going to the front—they will come back to their congregations and churches changed men. Those who have returned witness to this. Their artificiality, secretarianism and narrow outlook in general is changed by •their experiences. The question has arisen will they find their churches too confining for the proper exercise of their new freedom? One of the problems of the church will be how to fit these new preachers into routine work With a new kind of preacher in the pulpit—if he can stay there, and with a new kind of man in the pew—when he comes marching home, there will be something doing in the thurches. 1 1 Name Made No Difference.

Give theme It'alf a chance and they will defeat every plan you make and every effort you put earth. Lice are the super -curse of every poultry plant with no respect of Per-: sons or'places. Many a gallant ama- teur has gone down to defeat before the massed attacks, wave after wave, of these murderous minions. But don't give them half a chance. The body louse of the adult fowl is easy to whip if you know how, and persist. Furnish the hens a nice dust bath. In most backyards this must be provided in a shallow box, as lack of space makes access to the ground impossible. At any rate, see that the opportunity to roll in dry dust is al- ways. at hand. Fowls will usually rid themselves of body lice by this pro- cess. It is nature's wise old way. In addition use the lice powder freely, The red spider mite is a most dead- ly creature according to its inches. The beginner who knows nothing about this little guilty blood -letter may be driven from the field before he can get his forces oeganized for successful resistance. BEAST IS RED. This little be is "red" because the blood of your chickens is filling him to the utmost, as if to taunt you with his venomous deviltry. He does during the day: He hides in the crevices of the walls and underneath ,the roost platform while the sun shines; but the instant darkness comes, and the birds are well settled for the night, he hastens to make his deadly drive.

If you have half the persistence that they have yeti will soon see the last of them. But yo must fight, and fight to the bitter end, or they will drive your centese clear off the premises. Use plenty of lee common lice powder, which you can buy at any drug store or supp'y bouse. Sprinkle the feathers of the fowls thoroughly with it every two or three days till the pests aro abated, and then some naore. Keep the roost platforms well sprinkled with it, and see that every crevice in, walls and platform is well powdered. Prevention is the best of all remedies. Keep an eagle eye aimed at every smallest corner of the hen- house•in order to anticipate the slight- est approach of this little king pest of the poultry yard. Have the "dope" placed at every possible runway. You vain. fight this battle of the louse to the finish or your labors will be in AMONG YOUNG CHICKENS. • The louse does its most tragic work among young chicks. Here lies the greatest danger: of hatching with hens. The cyicks get lice from the mo- ther. Being weaker and less experi- enced, they cannot rid themselves of the pests like the larger fowls. The Mexperienced peultryman meets some terrible surprises. I cart never forget my amazement when I - found a hen—which I had most care- fully placed on a sitting of eggs about a week before—literally being eaten up by spider mites, and the nest and eggs 'coveredall over with moving savage thousands. The heti was near- ly dead. Of course, that was the end of that little business. What chance would a brood of young chicks have had under such conditions ? Dust the hen and the nest thorough- ly with louse powder, whether you see any .lice or not, at the beginning of the incubation 'period.

Fossil, Declared by Chinese Dis- coverers Laid by the Phoenix. Naturalists doing field work in China for American museums picked up an egg which the natives declared was the egg of the Phoenix—the Fung- Whang Ho -Ho bird. It has just been mounted and placed on public view in the Museum of Natural History in York. Examination and comparison by the museum staff, says the Boston Transcript, has resulted in the deois- ion that disregarding popular legend, the immense egg, forty times the size of the egg of the domesticated hen, is that of a gigantic prehistoric ostrich. Two imperfect eggs of this fossil os- trich are in existence and are owned by museums in the United States, but this is the only perfect one known — "perfect," the museum announces, "with the exception of a small hole -through which the original contents rimy have disappeared," Its discoverer was a peasant in the' Province of Henan, China, who, one day found it sticking in the bank of the Yellow River and kept it as a cuelosity, treasured it as the egg of that legendary Phoenix, which is still revered by designers of Chinese deco- rations.

The right hand is the hand of seill—of artistry —while the left remains that of mere brute streugth. Division of labor is an advantage, and hence we have adopted it in our evolution. The rea- son why the right hand has been chosen by nature to be developed in this direction is that the left side of the brain, which controls it, is some- what better supplied with blood by tb.e carotids than the right. But, it appears, science is not yet ready to answer the question, Why this in- equality in the carotid arteries? Animals, it seems, are ambidextrous because with them there is no division of labor, or very little of it. Man is right-handed pecause with him the di- vision of labor is pushed to its fur- thest point. It is for reasons of utility that man prefers to use one hand for delicate work, He selects the right, but if it Is unavoidable he is able to employ the left, It is- well known that per- sons whose right arms have been tun- putated or paralyzed can educate their left arms and are finally able to use these as well as those that they have lost. It is also well known that cer- tain professionals, pianists, for in- stance, or violinists, can execute very difficult movements with the left hand. It has been declared by the ecion- tists that there aro not really ambi- dextrous persons, that is, persons who use both hands for all purposes (Actual- ly well and indifferently. Those who say that ambidextrous persons are not rare, it is pointed out, call by ilia name left-handed persons who have learned in infancy to execute certain difficult acts with the right hand, such as eating, sewing or writing. But, these sante .persons use the left band spontaneously when they execute natural difficult motions, such as throwing a stone at a mark, etc. Moreover, it is not proper to say that a man is ambidextrous who has with difficulty learned to execute a single act indifferently with one hand or • the other. Some physiologists have -maintained that educators ought to try to make children ambidextrous: According to them the uniform development of our two hands would contribute to make a whole part of the brain, now neglect- ed, an organ capable of doing the work of civilization.' Now we have seen that the left hand is not inactive, but does a dif- ferent kind of work from the right. To force our children to be ambidex- trous would be to oppose their natural development, which tends to the di- vision of work. It would be, in the opinion .01 many, to struggle against the universal law of the least effort and to make them unskilful. Why does a child use his right hand generally for acts of skill, and why have the left -banded always been the exception? Daressy, the Egyptolo- gist, has asserted that the right hand • has been employed in eating for a period of over 6,000 years. To explain this preference many theories have been advanced. Some authorities have invoked the influence of public opinion, which, it is etated, thinks little of the left-handed, regard- ing them as "sinister" and giving them a bad name. This is to take the effect for the cause. It has also been asserted that a child becomes right-handed because of imttation mid education. Even the form of the utensils he uses leaves him to alternative, But these causes themselves could exist only by virtue of a natural tendency to use the right hand. Some have thought to explain this natural tendency by the mode of 11.11•11•111101•111.1111111••••• growth of the embryo, which at a, car. tain moment turtle over tliat ite left side is next the vitellus, hence the preponderant volume of the right side of the body and its superiority. iplutnedxecreapitaiconal cases the embryo. tuna on the right aide, whiclt gives a pre. e of strength to the left and consequently causes left-handedziess, if this theory were correct the sub.

This fact,. as well as the presence of the heart on the left side in the bar. handed, also simile the hypothesis of Herber, who asserts that -our right- handedness is not so muck affected by the muscular efforts of the right arm. Rightehandednese is due to the Pre- dominance of the left hemisphere of the brain, which, owing to the inter- crossing of the nerve fibres in the pyramids, controls the movements of the right limbs. It is, tifi has been sho.wn by Gratiolet, heavier than the right. Consequently if we are ordin- arily right-handed it is because, at the moment when the child begins to use the hemispheree of its brain the left I one is more fitted than the right to ! direct a difficult or painful task. The slight inequelity in the circulation of the two carotid arteries gives this ad- Yantage to the left hemisphere and makes most men right-handed. ; - = When Asthma Comes de not despair.

TRADE BRIEFS The second Glasgow industries fair was opened on slug. 19 in tne Kelvin Inaustries and re,mained open until the end of that month. it was originally intended to hold the fair in the spring of the year, but owing to war conditions suificoms labor and material could not be obtained in time to carry out the original programme, which called for the completion of the building in which the fair was held. The construction of the new harbor works at Tandjong Perak, Soerabaya, in the Netherlands East/ Indies, is nearing completion, and the question of exte,nding the quay space is now under consideration. During the early part elf 1917 the Government erected twenty ware,house3 on the northern side of the new wharf. These warehousee are capable of holding from 65,000 to 70.000 tons of sugar, and have been in use throughout the season, several steamers having been loaded at the wharf instead of from lighters lying in the roade. Boota and shoe,a constitute the chief item in the imports of leather and its manufacturers into Ceylon. Acsording to the Ceylon Blue Book the imports of boots and shoes were valued at $221,329 out of local imports amount - Ing to $293,631. Large additions ard planned to the municipal power etation of Bergen, Norway, at Samnaenger, which will cost over $1,000,000. Of special importance to the indus- trial aelf-support of Swedva is the manufacture of percussion caps, a new industry that has recently been start- ed by Stockholm Superfosfatbolag and that is based entirely on Swedish material. The caps are of iron and the filling censists not of mercury but of a complicated copper perchloride. The pereussien takes place in the usual way through combustion or elestricity. The company intends to work up the manufacture on such a scale that it wialn4, i cover the country's entire de; ra • According to the Scandieaerian ship- ping gazette, the Aktiebolaget, John R. Rettig & Co., in Stockholm, have started to manufacture the electric raaterial micanite. Before the war all micanite was imported from Ger- many and England, which obtained the raw material (mica) from Canada an.d India. Commercial agencies report the num- ber of business failuree in Holland during the first six months of 1918 as 467, again 456 during the correspond- ing period of 1917. Since 3914 the number of failures steadily decreased till this year. The change in the tide ihow e that the, period of large war business and profits is ended.

Christian Science welfare work is now being carried on in forty-five army and. navy •camps in the United States under direction of the Christian Science War Relief and Camp Welfare Committee of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. There are at present about seventy men and fifteen Women engaged In this work the women serving mainly as welfare attendants. Conducted at first inde- pendently, the camp welfare work has been merged with the war relief has which the Christian Scientists Were doing in foreign countries before the United Steate entered the war. For both these purposes about ono million dollars have been raised. The aim of the Christian Science camp workers is to be as helpful as Possible to all the men in the camps, says the Boston Sunday Advertiser, whether or not they are Christian Scientists, and particularly to give as-, sistance which may be available at the time or place through any of the other camp welfare agencies. A fea- ture of this phase of the were is an arrangement for keeping soldiers and sailors in close touch with their re- lativee. Co-operating with the ensmittee in Boston, there is a Christian Science camp welfare committee in each state. The committee in the home state of a soldier or sailor cooperates by Mail and telegraph with the committee of • the state in which he is encamped or stationed to form a direct and constant 'link between the }soldier �r' sailor and his relatives.

Sold everywhere. are quickly made acquainted with needs of their boy in the service, and he is provided with an avenue of quick com- munication with his home. This linking of home and camps, combined with the personal attention of the Christian Science workers in the camps, has frequently been the means of changing a soldier's outlook froni one of gloom to one of ion and not infrequently it has proved to be the means of relieving relatives of fin- ancial embrarrassment, the committee in the home state making loans for use by the relatives until their boy In camp should be prepared to for- ward money to them. The net result, for which the Chris- tian Science committees and camp workers have received many commend- ations, has been a uoticable raising of the moral of many ,men in the service and the development of a better feeling at home regarding the participation of their boys in the service. The camp workers say there is an increased willingness among the com- manding officers aed surgeons to al- low Christian Science treatment for those men who ask ;for it, and many Christian Science beatings have been recorded. Recently, two requests for Christian Science eervices in hospi- tal wards were received by mem workers from medical neirses who had observed the benefielal effects of Christian Science treatment. In or near numerous camps, the Christian Science Committees have erected substantial '.nuildings, with quiet places for reading and writing, and other buildings are in course of construction. A light etouring car has been added to the equipment of the ,Christian .Sciencecamp workers at each camp to be used wherever and whenever possible in assisting the men. s Worms sap the strength and under- mine the vitality of children.

A college professor in California has discovered a mineral hitherto un- known to science, which he has called "crestmoreite," because it was found at Crestmore. We are told' by way of description, says the Province Bul- etin, that it is "a ney hyrous basic of orthosilicate, containing small am- ounts of other oxides in place of &Il- ea," which leaves us altogether in the dark as to whether we shall soon be using crestmoreite as an improved stovepipe material or wearing it as a watch charm ; - A Huge Shadow. snanows, naturally enough are of various sizes, and and can imegine tnat mountains tnroor very large shadows indeed.
