BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS Difficult to Buy Proper.Feed Stuffs at Random. (Nationa) Crop Improvement Service.} There are not a dozen feed stores in the country that ‘carry in stock the ingredients of a first-class mixed feed at all times ‘and at reasonable prices, and usually they do not carry feeds of the same high quality used by the mixers who work scientifically through a laboratory. This is human nature. Competition compels a dealer nite quality. The best tefseidom carried, be- cause the average buyer will not pay the highest price. A good many ex- periment stations in a general way will advocate that a farmer mix all his own feed, but they are human like the-rest of us and they will use recog- nized brands in their own feedin; operations rather than go to the trou- ble and take the time to follow their own advice. There are a good many herds at experiment stations which are kept as sort of a clinic for professors to prdc- tice theories upon. The poor brutes are used a good deal as guinea pigs in hospital practice. On the other band, at the experiment stations are to be found many of the finest ani- mals ever bred. The mixed feeds of the first grade can be fed alone or in connection with home-grown corn, oats or barley. To do this widens your ration, and it is correct to do so if it will reduce your cost of feeding. Mixed feeds, there- fore, are largely a matter of arith- metic. You can usually get the result for less money than by feeding more ex- pensive grains separately. THE MANURIAL INGREDIENTS OF FEEDS. (Nationa) Crop Improvement Service. Nitrogen is the most important and most valuable fertilizing element sup- plied by feeds, and it is in this ele- ment that they show the greatest variation. The Connecticut Experiment Sta- tion states that it was found that the average mixed fertilizer contained 2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in a table that eighteen of fifty-two dif- ferent feeds contained 3.93 -per-cent. Among this list is cottonseed and lin- aged meals, gluten seed, middlings, 'brewers’ and distillers’ products, and & few of the feed mixtures, It is ob- vious, therefore, that a -wise selection of: feeds enhances ‘the vglue of the Wanure and consequently plays an Report of the Conmecticat Agricul- malt sprente shoale restless sideration foalition Cabinet, including represen- atives of the secessionists,' and- Pe- ‘in press reports giving added details f the abandonment of military meas- mres by the southern Provinces. The new Cabinet, according to le- ation advices, is to be a coalition body, with representatives of both the Constitutionalists and the Mili- Li Ching Shi, whom Presi- i had unsuccessfully sought for “Premier after the dismissal of Tuan Chi Jui, notified the Jegation that he had accepted the post in the belief that the two factions had solved their Tdifferences and that peace was at hand. Gen. Wang Shih Chen, for- mer chief of the general staff, is named as Minister of War, after hav- ing been named for a similar posi- tion on the Secessionist Government. Admiral Sir Sah Chen Ping is Min- ister of the’ Navy. The American note to China, urg- ing both factions to compose their differences, about which so much mis- understanding centered, was report- ed as having created a,very favor- able impression. in China. Great Britain, Japan and France declined to follow this country’s course of ac- tion, on the ground that any sugges- tion from the outside might have a bad effect. The settlement of the internal crisis will expedite China’s entrance into the war, according to opinion here. All parties in China are said to have been in favor of war, but have refused to enter it under the former leadership. Former Premier Tuan wanted President Li to declare war without consulting Parliament, and Parliament refused to go into the war urtder the leadership of Tuan. Now that Parliament has been dis- solved and Tuan dismissed the coali- tion government has a free hand. Tt will be necessary, however, to’ await the final ratification of the new Parliament whose election will re- quire several months, owing to the complicated electoral machinery. TEST A NON-SINKABLE SUIT Clad in One of These Garments a Person May Float in the Ocean a Week. John R~Walker, chairman of the Federal Lumber Trade Commission, recently tested the efficacy of a new- ly inventéd lifesaving suit by. don- ning it and leaping into the swirling current of the Mississippi River from the deck of the dock board’s tug Samson. The garment which Mr. Walker tried out is a complete 1-piece suit of rubber, wadded with a material known as Ilana-silk, a woven fabric which is more buoyant than cork. Snugly encased in the suit one floats upright in the water, the head well above the surface, and the body warm and.dry. Pockets are provided in the suit for a canteen of fresh water and for tins of condensed foods and it is estimated the wearer of one of the garments can keep himself alive though adrift in the ocean, for a week. : As a test Mr. Walker decided to make the experiment one against time. A few hundred yards upstream from the naval training station the Samson was rounded to, Mr. Walker standing in readiness with the col- lapsed anti-supmarine suit on the deck beside him. The word “go” was given by one of the guests who held a stop watch, and twenty-nine seconds after the signal Mr. Walker hit the Mississippi with a splash. “This suit will make being sub- marined or striking a mine a positive pleasure,” he declared—New Orleans Times-Picayune. | FOUGHT IN GAS MASKS Fumes From Guns and Bombs, Were were Deadly Than Guns and os Bayonets.

County, announced ,today that there had been at least forty-seven deaths from ‘enterocolitis, or summer com- plaint, in New Madrid -county since the latter part of May, and that at least one hundred others now are ill. This. brings the number of known, deaths in Southern Missouri from the malady, known to have been caused Screqge 'by flies, up’ to 118, while there are at least three hundred still ill: The disease, which first became prevalent near this town in Scott county, has in a short time spread to Dunklin, Butler, Mississippi, Pem- iscot and New Madrid‘ counties, bringing with it miany deaths, and from indications tonight it will con- tinue to spread rapidly unless ex traordinary precautionary measures are taken immediately. The county board of health will meet at Benton Monday morning to determine the advisability of calling on the state board of health for as- sistance. Dr. H. S. Winters and Dr. William Wescott of Oran declare the, situa- tion is no better and they believe it is necessary to ask thestate authori- ties for help., The illness is preval- ent in swampy and low places, while lack of Sewerage, the large number of flies and the fact that many of the houses are without screens make the task of combating it almost impos- sible. Physicians say that before the mal- ady can be stopped it will be neces- sary for screens to be placed in each home, a large quantity of lime or other disinfectant used and the at- tention of a‘visiting nurse had for sevetal weeks. NO TRACE OF SHIP’S CREW American Destroyer, Answering “S. O. S.” Unable to Find Fifty Survivors. Base of the American Flotilla in British Waters, July 2.—One of the American destroyers in the patrol flotilla reported this morning that she was unable to find any trace of the fifty members of the crew of a Brit- ish merchantman which was attacked by a submarine when the American craft snatched the Britisher’s wire- less distress call from the air, “Submarine shelling us,” was the first message the destroyer picked up. The position showed the. Brit- isher was ninety mifes away, which means a run of five hours through high seas for the destroyer. The American craft was just get- ting under full speed when her wire- less sounded the second and final message. It read: ‘Abandoning ship.” Only floating wreckage greet- ed the American bluejackets when they reached the scene, but they pa- trolled the vicinity for two days in the hope of finding some survivors.

Washington, June 29.—Shifting its original plans the War Department announced today that instead of holding national guard troops in their home quarters in the North af- ‘ter they are called out, they will be sent directly to Southern camps. Calls are arranged for July 15 and 25 and August 5, but it-may be neces- sary to make the general call Aug- ust 5. As originally arranged, the nation- al guardsmen were to be held in their home ‘quarters for perhaps several weeks. Now there will be practical- ly no delay in getting them into Southern and Southeastern depart-' ment camps. The reason for. the possible delay until August 5 is that officers are rated for rank according to the actual time they are in service. Hence, some of the officers coming on July 15, for instance, would have oppor- tunity to get higher rate than equal- ly efficient officers called later. The matter of having a joint call August 5 is still in abeyance, and the three dates originally announced stand for the present.
