The prob- iflem has become increasingly impor- %tant since the high prices of feeds are 'more and ‘more forcing attention to {the*only cheap feed—pasturage. The !bureau of plant I\hdustry “as recently !done a great deal of work along this line. ' The investigators Lave con- turing "A Fine Southern Pasture. both agronomically and econotnically. | ‘Unfortunately, say the specialists, fa- cilities for experiments nd demon- strations are wholly inadequate in at- tempting to work out a system-of bet- ter handling of northern pastures. On Ithe coastal plains of the South, unless the soils are much affected by drought, continue the experts, carpct grass sup- " ‘plemented with lespedeza makes ex- cellent pasture. Golden crown grass s also -excellent. . Efforts are jeing made; with the aid of a new sn{pplng machine, to place carpet grass seed on the market in adequate quantity. Sev- -eral, newly: introduced grasses are ipromising as pasture possibilities. SAFEGUARDING SHEEP FLOCK Large Number of Animals Lost Each Year From Some Prevent- able Disorder. Thousands upon thousands of sheep die each year from a great variety. of {preventable causes. The killer dog " ig not the chief cause of loss. He may icanse perhaps 1 per cent of the deaths _due to aecldental causes, but the most serious losses are attributable to igno- rance and carelessness upon the part iot the owner or his shepherd. .Among {the chief causes-of less may be men- ‘oned lack of shelter for lambing ‘eves and their newborn lambs. A sud- iden. snow or raln - storm coming .at] lnmbing time often finds ewes and lambs exposed, and many deaths re' sult. i i PASTURAGE CUTS FEED BILLS _Cost of Pork Production Can Be Re- duced by Providing Suitable ¢ Pasture for Hogs. Farmers can reduce the cost of pork production- next year by providing a guitable pasture for their hogs, says ‘W. H. Peters of the animal husbandry division, University farm. Most pas- ture grasses are rich in protein. The call for high grain ratloss t& therefore Jess urgent a matter to be taken into _consideration in these days of falling prices for hogs and pigs. Affalfa and | brome grass are best for growing pigs, but no matter how good a pasture is mome grain must be fed if the hogs’ nre to thrive and make profitable gains. ——— BULL OF CHANGEABLE MOODS Wise Plan to Play Safe at All Times by Keeping Animal Completely Under Control, The bull is of very changeable ‘moods, and one néver - can ;tell when that mood is going to change. The only wise plan is to take no chances with his mopds—play safe at all times by keeping him wholly under control, or where he cannot reach you. - PASTURE FOR GROWING PIGS Clover, Rye, Rape, Sorghum or Any. thing Green Is Good—Something Else Is Needed. Plenty of good pasture is very im- portant in growing pigs. Clover, grass, rye, rape, sorghum—in fact almost any- thing green that pigs will eat is good for them while growing, hut pasture THEY. TOOK HER LITERALL\Y But Probably Musical Comedy Star Did Not Mean Just What She Threatened. A popular musical comedy, star was | taking her summer vacation ip a New England- village this year, and good naturedly agreed to participate in an “entertainment” to “be given at the town hall for the benefit of local char- #ties. She procured from New York' one of the costumes from her last win- ter’s $how, and a fetghing poster show- ing herself in that same costume. Soon after the poster was on display a dele- ation of village ladies waited upon the committee of gentlemen who were Fengineering the entertainment and pro- tested against the chic costume of the poster, which was, in fact, that of the conventional “prince” of musical com- edy, with a frank if pleasing display of silk-encased Hmbs. ‘ “Let's send for Miss de-Lancy and. see if we ean't fix it up,” a commit- teeman suggested, and this was done. Now, besides being good matuyed, Miss de Lancy is. high-spirited, and rather thought that the costume which ha@ been /good enough for ‘her to ap- pear in fpr some hundreds of times in New Yofk would do for one appear- ance in Hicksville. “There is no use talking,” she an- ‘nounced with decision, “I'll appear in that costume or ' nothing!” There was a moment of horrified si- {lence, then quick whispering among the lady delegation, and a moment lat- er their protest’ against the proposed costume was withdrawn.—DPhiladelphia i Ledger. . : CSJSTS MONEY TO RUN Z00 Pets of Londoners Are Really Expen- sive Propositions in the Feed- ing Line. * How much does it cost now to feed an elephant for a year? Two thousand dollars, say*the officials of ‘the London z0o. And a giraffe costs half as much. So that, with, the increased prices of food, have come new problems for the keepers-of menageries. The meat foods include beef, horse flesh, guinea pigs, rats, cats, mice, rabbits. frogs, shakes! i fish, pigeons, ducks, sparrows, gentles,’ snails, ants and cod liver oil. The ga- zelles, buffalaes and antelopes must be provided with rock salt. on -oats. bran, hay, green clover, to- gether with carrots and potut‘iws. The birds are the most difficult to feed sat- isfactorily. Flamingoes, for instance. require soaked wheat, boiled shrl;nps and fish cut small. Some birds are fed largely on bullock’s liver. This is cut into slices, boiled, then put through a mincing machine. The mince is dried in a slow oven-and preserved. The dry mince is usualy mixed with bran or:polard. Quantities of insects fiave to-be’Kept in stock for thé insect- eating birds. These are principally meal worms and gentles, which fs the polite name for, meat maggots. But for some birds flies and grasshoppers are required.. The monkeys require. fruit, such as bananas and apples. while the snakes must be fed on small animals, such.as¢ rabbits, mice and rats. New Idea in Storing Coal. The ingenious plan of storing coal in.carbonic acid gas, as undertaken at Dortmund, Germany, gives the safety from spontaneous ignition of undér- water s‘tomge./\vhlle the contatner of- fers the convenience of the overhead bunker. Each of the three cylindrical bunkers constructed, with a capacity of 2,500 tons, has semi-spherical top and bottom, and three filling openings at the top, with three discharging out- "lets -at the bottom. The lower outlets are gas’tight when closed. but as the carbonic acld is much heavier than air the upper openings do not require being absolutely leak proof. A grab on a structural steel tower unloads the coal from a barge. The coal is dropped into a small hopper, and then fed to a push-plate conyeyor, which is so placed that it may' serve in filling or empty- ing . the three bunkers. The small amount of carbonic acid gas that leaks out in removing coal can be readily replaced. & Fun for the Girl. One eviging. coming home from the theater on the street car with my lady friend, I stepped from the car and noticed an automobile coming up. be- nd the car. I kept my eye on the automobile and took the elbow of the next person alighting after me, ex- pecting it to be my friend. Still watch- ihg the motor, I led the'elbow safely to the walk, and then turned my at- gentlon to her. But, to my embarrass- ment, who should I find myself escort- ing, but a great, tall man, who said in the sweetest voice: “Thank you, I was never escorted by a young man across the street before; you are the kindest fellow I ever met.” My lady friend was following us, and she gig- gled over the joke all the rest of the way home.—Exchange. Artificial Tree for Birds. Dr. H. B. Warren is having a con- crete tree built op his lawn at West Chester. Pa., to provide homes for birds. The tree is upon a wire frame 15 feet high. Holes of different sizes will lure the birds to meet and rest. At the base of the tree will be a large \concrete bath to provide the guests with running water at all times. Imi- tation limbs on the “tree” will give perching 'accommodations. But the question is, will the birds be fooled by this elgborately counterfeit tree? ‘We have sween some most elaborate and expeng‘ve bird houses empty year alone will not make big-boned. stocky after yean' They are fed | .

Several months ago announcement was made that the imperial govern- ment railways of Japan intended to build a tppnel under the Shimonoseki strait. This strait separates the main { island of the Japanese group, Hondo, from the smaller island of Kiushu at the south. It is now crossed by & car ferry. which dis rapidly becoming insufficient to meet the demands that are made upon it. Two years are to be spent in studying the geological formation of the sea bed in the strait and in drafting of the general plan of work in preparation for the actual undertaking of tunneling, so that:the real work “will .not commence untl} 1921. Engineers and workmen will be sent to America and Europe to inake a study of what has been achieved in these countries in the way of tunuel engineering. The ‘line is to be seven miles long, one’ mile of which will be entirely under the sea. The approxi- mate cost of the undertaking will be about $10,000,000 and the work is ex- pected to be completed in 1828.—Sci- entific American. 8. A.
