How Far Can You See?
What is the farthest limit to which
the human vision can reach? Powers,
in his book, “The Eye and Sight,”
gives the ability to see the star Alcor,
situated at the tail of the Great Bear,
as the test. Indeed, the Arabs call it
the Test Star. It is most exceptional
to be able to see Jupiter's satellites
with the naked eye, though one or
two cases are recorded, the third sa-
tellite being the most distinct. Peru-
vians are said to be the longest-sight-
ed race on earth. Humbeclt records
a case where these Indians preceived
a human being 18 miles away, being
able to recognize that it was human
and clad in white. This is probably
the record for far sight.

cow, all the clover hay it will eat
up clean, and by weight equal parts
of middlings and bran mixed with
two pounds of corn meal, feeding a
pound of this to each cow in the pro-
portion of a pound for three pounds
of milk each gives. It is always best
to apportion concentrates in propor-
tion to the amount of milk, and there-
fore different cows require different
amounts of these concentrated feeds,
though each should have all the
clover hay it will eat.—Indiana

“They have had no time to go to

They are the superiors of the
manicured, feathers powdered and
their combs bathed in vinegar to en-
hance their beauty. They lay eggs
every day whether they have pretty
prize ribbons fluttering from their
coops or not.”
With a few hens, each laying one
egg every day, it is not necessary for
city residents to study “back to the
farm” literature in their dreams of
how to return to the good old times
when “ham and” was a part of the
daily breakfast menu, in the opinion
of Mrs. Osborn. A small city lot and
little feed and care is all that is neces-
sary to produce enough eggs for each
family to break the Egg Trust, if the
new breed of chickens lives up to her
statements.
Feeding For Butter Making.
A good English dairy authority says
that to a small extent rich fatty foods
add to the butter fat content of the
milk, but enly by supplying material
which the cow is ready to make
cream of, as cows naturally giving
poor milk will lay this fat on their
backs, and it is probably useless to
try to make a bad cow give richer
milk. If it were not for this, it would
seem somewhat meaningless to de-
scribe certain foods as ‘butter-produc-
ers or less suitable for butter making
than for milk-producing, though the
foods are all useful for the latter
purpose also. Peas and rye, for in-

Growth of Germany as a Sea
Power Presents Problem Which
is Puzzling
With the marvelously rapid expan-
sion of Germany as an industrial na-
tion and with the development of its
agriculture, for since Bismarck adopt-
ed Protection in 1879 one-third of the
grassland of that year has been
turned into plowed land, it is not
| at all surprising that Germany should
_ begin to find some difficulty in ob-
taining men for the navy, which is
growing at such an alarming rate.
A curious feature of the case is that
the levy made for the German Navy
in 1907-1908 produced about 10,000,
of whom two-thirds came from the
States in the interior of the German
Empire; that is to say, from districts
which hitherto have not bred men for
the sea. :
Herr Koemerrer thinks that it is
now high time to call public attention
to this very unsatisfactory state of
affairs, and he has published a
pamphlet dealing with the important
question. He draws an interesting
comparison between the men of the
Fatherland and the seamen of the
coast of France, and he asks:
“Can the miners of Westphalia, the
peasants of Bavaria, and the artisans
of Nuremberg entertain the lawful
hope of ever beating in naval combat
the descendants of Tourville, of Jean
Bart or of Suffren? The sea does not
belong to every race; it belongs to
those who have known it, loved it and
lived on it; to the races which it has
cradled, which it nourishes, and
which it takes to its embrace at times.
Naval service is no simple civic obli-
gation; it is a calling and a destiny.”
‘Gladstone as Prime Minister.
In the course of a description’ of
the monuments of Westminster Ab-
bey before the London Geographical
Society, Lord Eversley pointed out
that he not only selected the Beasons-
field site in the sacred edifice but he
wrote the epitaph. It read: ‘Erected
by Parliament in memory of Lord
Beaconsfield, twice Prime Minister.”
He remembered at the time that in
one speech Lord Beaconsfield had
made he referred with great pride to
his having been twice Prime Minister.
When he showed the inscription to
Mr. Gladstone the latter said: “Twice
Prime Minister; that’s no great dis-
tinction.”

Perils of a Great City.
The perils of a great city are once
more illustrated. A crowd in an ele-
vated train in New York on a recent
Sunday afternoon was suddenly con-
fronted by what appeared to be a
frothing maniac. He began firing at
random from a revolver, wounding one
man seriously and driving the train-
load of passengers through the win-
dows and doors as rapidly as they
could go. Several stalwart passen-
gers grappled with him, and with the
help of policemen landed him in a sta-
tion house. © When he was searched
a badge was found pinned on his vest.
He was one of New York's “Finest.”
He was simply a drunken policeman,

Rubber, :
Rubber is first known to history as
a plaything. Tt was during Columbus’
second voyage that Herrera observed
that the inhabitants of Haiti played a
game with balls “made of the gum of
a tree” Even as early as the begin-
ning of the seventeenth century, how-
ever, the Spaniards used rubber to
waterproof their cloaks, but the fact
attracted no attention in the old
world, and it was not until the eigh-
teenth century that the rubber indus-
try began. Early writers mention an
oil extracted from rubber, which wag
taken medicinally with cocoa.

‘POSTUM FOR MOTHERS
The Drink That Nourishes and Sup-
plies Food For Mother and Child,
“My husband has been unable to
drink coffee for several years, so we
were very glad to give Postum a trial
and when we understood that long
boiling would bring out the delicious
flavour, we have been highly pleased
with it.
“It is one of the finest things for
nursing mothers that I have ever
seen, It keeps up the mother’s
strength and increases the supply of
nourishment for the child if partaken
of freely. I drank it between meals
instead of water and found it most
beneficial.
“Our five-year-old boy has been
very delicate since birth and has de-
veloped slowly. He was white and
bloodless. I began to give him Post-
um freely and you would be surprised
at the change. When any person
remarks about the great improve-
ment, we never fail to tell them that
we attribute his gain in strength and
general health to the free use of
Postum and this has led many friends
to use it for themselves and chil-
dren
“I bave always cautioned friends
to whom I have spoken about Postum
to follow directions in making it,
for unless it is boiled fifteen or
twenty minutes, it is quite tasteless.
On the other hand, when properly
made, it is very delicious. I want to
thank you for the benefits we have
derived from the use of your

Wide-Awake Farmer,
Mr. Stephenson, writing in Hoard's

lieve I am safe in saying that fifty
per cent. of the farmers to-day are
farming the same as they did twenty-
five years ago.”” And this too in a
State where wide-awake livestock
associations, farmers’ institutes, far-
mers’ clubs and granges have been
actively engaged in training the
young farmer in the way he should
£0.
Should this be a discouragement
for farmers to try to learn better
methods? We say no, decidedly.
Let us think of the other fifty per
cent. Are they not reaping the bene-
fits of the improvements from which
the statistics of Iowa have been
made. Who are getting the benefit
of increased products of that great
State? Not the fifty per cent. who
farm as they did a quarter century
ago.
. Hens Sure to Lay Every Day.
Mrs. John Osborn, of Clayton, St.
Louis County, has joined the ranks
of the foes of high prices as the wo-
man Egg Trust buster. After eight
years’ research, she says, she origin-
ated a breed of chickens guaranteed
to produce eggs every day in the year.
The only trouble with the new va-
riety is that the hens are so busy lay-
ing eggs they forget to set. They are
a mixture of Rhode Island Reds,
White Leghorns and Blue Andalu-
Mrs. Osborn grows enthusiastic as
she describes the new products of
the chicken world in this fashion:
“Talk about your egg machines, here
in Missouri, the realm: of the queen
of the barnyard, they sink into ob-
livion in comparison’ to ‘the new Os-
L
stance, are apt to make the butter
hard, and so we find them classed as
third-rate butter foods in Denmark,
though both of them are useful as
milk foods.
Butter making is so well under-
stood in Denmark that it is interest-
ing to see in what estimation differ-
ent foods are held for this purpose.
Rape cake, oats, and wheat bran are |
held in the highest estimation; cotton
cake, barley, and palm nut cake come
next, peas and rye ranking last. It
will be noticed that the best foods
are highly nitrogenous, excepting
rape cake, and not particularly rich
in fat, the second-class foods being
superior in this respect.
Richness of milk being, however,
dependent on the individual cow or
particular breed, the question may
well be asked whether it pays to use
these foods in any quantity for all
cows alike in a milk herd. Those that
give the richest milk should have a
larger proportion of non-nitrogenous
food, which may to some extent
cheapen the ration, as the albuminoid
ratio is enlarged. This later in the
same proportion for all the cows
in a herd has been perhaps too rigidly
adhered to, and one of our leading
dairy authorities advocates attention
being paid more to the actual require-
ments of the cows rather than strict
adherence to any prescribed diet.
Encouraging the Hens.
Mrs. James Creamer, of Springfield,
Ohio, supplied from her hennery a
good share of the “strictly fresh” that
the wealthy classes of Springfield ate
for their breakfasts this last winter.
When the hens struck, late in the
fall, Mrs. Creamer was well launched
in the egg business and’ simply had
to have eggs to supply her customers.
Some humorist told her that chickens
were fond of music and she decided
te experiment. With the kitchen
door open so her fowls could plainly
hear, she played the piano the major
portion of one day. To her surprise
the next day she got six more eggs
than had been her daily allotment
since the cold weather made its ap-
pearance. Sh ;
Mrs. Creamer then moved her piano
further out toward the eggfoundry
and went after the instrument like
a nailer. The hens, touched by the
efforts for their relief from the win-
ter’s ennui, pushed themselves a little
with results financially satisfactory te
all concerned.—Milwaukee Sentinel. °

Vegetable Oils Oxidize.
“All vegetable oils oxidize, linseed
oil particularly,” remarked the man
who made the suggestion. “Linseed
oil is used principally in polishing.
Some years ago I was interested in a
house in New Jersey that was almost
completed. The workmen were en-
gaged in polishing the floors and used
linseed oil and sawdust. A fire took
place. The insurance people said
they had heard that linseed oil and
sawdust at a ‘high enough tempera-
ture would cause combustion, but.
they were not sure. It was only a
theory. I took one of their investi-
gators with me and made a test. The
linseed oil was put into the sawdust
and in it we placed a thermometer.
As soon as the temperature went up
the sawdust blazed. — New ' York
