Value of Vora Sliage Shown.
The Pennsylvania Experiment Bta-
tion at State College has conducted
several experiments to determine the
difference in cost of feeding oattle by
the common Pennsylvania ration of
mixed hay and corn stover as rough-
age, and chopped ear corp, or corn
and cornmeal and brap, as concen-
trates ; and a ration composed of corn
silage, mixed hay and cottonseed meal,
supplemented by ear corn. In all ex-
periments smaller gains were made by
the lot of cattle fed the ordinary Penn-
sylvania ration,
In one experiment, which is typleal,
the average amount of air-dry matter
required to make a pound of gain
ranged from one to three pounds more
per head for cattle fed the common ra-
tion than for those fed the ration
adopted by the Station, The cost of
producing 100 pounds of gain for the
entire period of the experiment, in the
ease of the lot fed the Penpsylvanis
ration, wae $2.87 greater per hundred,
compared with the cheapest of the
other lots, and $1.85 higher than the
most expensive lot where silage form-
ed a part of the ration, The dally cost
of feed per head for the entire experi-
mental period ranged from 22.04 cents
with the common ration to 16,92 cents
for the adopted ration.
The experiment emphasizes a de-
cided advantage in using corn silage
for at least a portion of the roughage
in fattening cattle, if they are to be
fed economically. Results also show
the advantage of feeding a large
amount of roughsge during the early
part of the feeding period, especially
with the prevailing high prices of
grain feeds,

State College Gets Coke Pinat Model,
With the closing of the Pansma-
Pacific exposition, at Ban Francisco,
the school of mives of the Pennsyl-
vania State College comes into pos
session of the $12,000 model of a cok
producing plant extiibited at the fais
by the H., C. Frick Coke company.
The model will be received next
month and will be added to the col-
lection of exhibits in the museum of
the new mining building.
The mode!, which is sixteen by
twenty-four feet, is complete in ail de-
tails, representing the surface works o
the coke plant, showing the shaft by
which the coal is raised from the mive,
the coke ovens, the supply houses and
the miners’ homes. A plan for land-
scape development, by which the
grounds and surface works are beauti-
fled, is an: interesting feature of the
coke plant model,
Through the generosity of the H. C.
Frick company, the model is loaned t:
Btate College for instruction purposes
to the students in mining.
JUST A MITE T00 STRENUOUS
Marie Corelli's Yea o of Love Draws
Forth Some Criticism From
American Periodical,
If IT loved a man I should love him
80 completely Fat I should never
think of anything in which he had
not the frst ar d greatest share. I
hould see his kind looks in every
ray of sunshine—I should hear his
loving voice In every note of music
if 1 were to read a book alone, I
should wonder which sentence in it
would please him most—if I plucked a
flower I should esk myself if he
would llke me to wear it—I should
live through him and for him-—he
would be my very eyes and heart and
soul.—Marie Corelll.
We want to thank you, Marie, for
letting us know in time, but to be
real candid we don't want to be loved
your way; mighty few men do. It all
reads beautifully, but most men don't
like the same kind of books their
wives do. Most men hate to be sung
to; and as for being the very eyes
and heart and soul of any woman-—
not all the time. Even the best of us
like to be left alone much of the time.
When we marry we don't want to be
strapped down to a 90-horsepower
love car. In a life endurance test two
yeople need to know each other not
too well. It takes a lot of water to
as you indicate, Marie, would run out
of power in two or three weeks,

THEMISTOCLES
When Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lute. he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who aze good
“fiddlers,” but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who cau play upon
the passions of the people, but they
can’t put brick and mortar together,
We need builders,
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest

of Health,
It bas been sald that the crinie
which Nature never forgives is indo-
lence, Itis certain that our bodies
were never planved for idleness,
Good health je invariably the result of
a continued and rational exercising of
both our bodies and minds,
Whenever we fall Lo exercise them
for a period of time they are apt to de-
generate, Not infrequently, owing to
the close association of the various
parts of the complex human machin-
ery, this results in the lmpsirment of
one part and reflects upon the others.
The complications of modern life
are very apt to result in our being
forced into & restrioted sphere and it
re ;uirea thought and intelligence to
keep mind and body in good condi-
tion.
The normal man and woman is en-
dowed with a brain capable of develop-
ment along various lines, To promote
this development along a sivgle line
creates a one-sldednees which may
readily become abnormal,
There has never been a time when
opportunities were so great for those
who desire to broaden their horizon
and sultivate interests aside from those
forced upon them by their particular
trade or occupation, Not to have in-
terests and occupation in a world teem-
ing with opportunities and possibili-
ties is to admit of stupidity and sloth,
Fads of one sort or another may pot
seem worthy of comparison with the
more serious employments of life;
pevortheless they may serve those who
have been relieved of the necessity of
labor and in lieu of better occupation
prevent degeneration of mind and
body. To be occupied with trifles is |
better than not to be occupied at all, |
T'o devote one's self to tasks which |
require concentration and a combined |
effort of mind and body stimulates al

Manners Can Be Acquired.
An English critic says that the ath-
letic girl has no manners and has
other faults.
showing of a little Baltimore girl late
ly in rescuing several children single
handed from a burning house, a res
cue made possible by her practice at
athletic exercises, the lack of polish
more or less can easily be forgiven.
Manners can always be acquired, but
it demands very quick action and abil
fty to save lives. The mistake of such
critics is to lay the blame on athletics
when that blame is due to entirely dif
ferent causes. The old idea that gen-
tieness went with weakness and wom
anliness with timidity is now exploded.

The following is reprinied from the
Postmasters’ Advooate, and will be of
special interest to Reporter readers
just at this time ss it will aid in cor-
recting a wrong Impression :
# According tu Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Blakslee, the ru-
ral delivery service is in better condi-
tion today that at any time since ite
inception, There has been some
criticism of Mr, Blakslee’s policy Ip
regard to this service, ¢specially in
the establishment of sutomobile
routes, but this will undoubtedly
work out all right in most cases, The
idea that the Department was trying
to save money is completely dispelled
by the assurance that whatever Is
saved goes into new routes estab'ished.
Mr. Blakeslee hss quite a formidable
array of figures at bis command to
prove his statements in regard to thie,
and the other bureaus under his mans-
gempent that show a saving, It le
evident that businese moihods pre-
