THE PURE BRED SIRE.
In 1889 a Lacrosse county (Ill)
farmer decided that his ordinary
beef and milk cows were not
paying, and so he purchased the
best pure bred sire he could get
of the breed desired and mated
him with his herd, which was of
mixed breeding. By keeping care-
ful records he found that the
cows resulting from the first
cross produced the first year, on
the average, 212 pounds of but-
ter fat. By continuing the use
of a pure bred sire of the same
breed he increased this amount
to a 268 pound average at the
end of the ninth year. In 1913
in his herd of twenty-five milk-
ing cows none produced less than
400 pounds of butter fat and sev-
eral produced 600 pounds

SOY BEANS FOR THE SOUTH.
Belief That This Legume May Be
Profitably Rotated With Cotton.
The department of agriculture and
the various state experiment stations
are conducting wide experiments to
discover the various forage crops best
suited to conditions in the southern
states, says the Home and Farm: The
soy bean is now the subject of thor-
ough experiments in various sections.
While the bean may be grown
throughout the humid and semihumid
sections of the south and in the south-
ern portion of the corn belt, it thrives
especially well in the cotton growing
regions. For this reason it offers an
excellent opportunity to the cotton
planter for adjusting his farm plans to
offset the damage to cotton inflicted by
the boll weevil.
From the farmers’ point of view the
existence of the many oil mills in the
south and the probability that by fur-
nishing a demand for soy beans these
concerns will make the legume an im-
portant cash crop should greatly facili-
tate the introduction of the new prod-
net on a commercial scale. Soy beans
SOY BEAN PLANT.
should be of additional interest to
farmers since, as in the case of other
legumes, their culture improves the
soil.
As a pasturage crop this legume is
rich in protein and is particularly suit-
ed for pasturing hogs, especially so
when the beans are grown for soil im-
provement. When the plants are young
and tender the hogs will practically eat
the whole of the plant, but after they
become mature and hard and woody
they will not be eaten so readily. By
planting the same variety at different
dates or by using varieties with differ-
ent dates of maturity the grazing may
be extended over a considerable period.
Although this crop is chiefly used for’
pasturing hogs, all other kinds of live
stock may be pastured on it if desired
TAUGHT BY A WORM.
This Lowiy Creature Suggested ths
First Submarine Tunnel.
The first great under water tunnel
was built beneath the Thames at Lon-
don by Sir Mark Isambard Brunel.
Brunel was one of the most prolific in-
ventors of Lis time, and he was a pio-
neer in many lines, but the Thames
tunnel is his greatest memorial.
It was a worm which suggested to
Brunel the possibility of a tunnel un-
der the Thames. While passing through
a dockyard he noticed a piece of sh’
timber perforated by a destructive
worm—the Teredo Navalis. Brunel
studied the worm's mode of operation
in boring into the wood, and this sug-
gested to his mind the construction of
a cast iron shieid which should bore
like an auger by menus of strong hy-
draulic screws, and as rapidly as the
earth was cut away bricklayers shoull
be at hand to replace it with an arch.
Tle work on the Thames tunnel com
menced in 1925, and after ma ty vicis
situdes and .wccidents it was completed
in 1843. when Brunel was knighted by
Queen Victoria. Brunel was also the
first to make shoes by machinery. and
he devised machines for knitting, nail-
making. ruling paper and making
wooden boxes. In his youth Brunel
gpent several years in America, de-
gigned and built a theater in New York
and planned fortifications ‘for the city
St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

BUSINESS SIGNBOARDS.
They Were Used at First Only by the
inas and Taverns.
The first tradesmen to adopt the use
of signs were the innkeepers, and from
earliest times in England and on the
continent the taverns of town and
country were distinguished by sign-
boards bearing the names of the hos-
telries. It was not until the sixteenth
century that merchants dealing in oth-
er than liquid refreshments began to
erect signs over their doors.
Once started the custom spread rap-
idly, and the seventeenth century was
a period of prosperity for the sign
painters of England. Even in London
the houses aud shops were not num-
bered, so a tradesman’s place of busi-
ness could only be known by a sign.
The ingenuity of the merchants was
taxed in such a city as London to pro-
vide an original sign that would stick
in the memories of passersby.
A man starting in business consid.
ered a striking sign his most impor
tant investment. These signs, often
huge in size. were sometimes slung en-
tirely across the street. As they grew
old they occasionally fell and thus be-
ame a source of danger
were prohibited by parliament in the
year 1762. and after that merchants
had to be content with more modest
signs placed flat against the fronts of
their buildings.—New York World.

If taking infinite pains with his ap-

American fashion, to express perfec-
tion or charm or beauty. Never was
any man more particular about his per
son aud his dress. [.: was as caren
of his hair as a woman, though there
was no need of the curling tongs with
which he has been reproached: the dif-
ficulty was to restrain his curls and
keep them in order. The white lock
gave just the right touch. However
fashion changed. he always wore the
mustache and little imperial which
other West Point men of his genera-
tion retained through life. Even his
thick, bushy eyebrows were trained.

sardonic expression of the deep blue

* John-8mith and Pocahontas.
About a mile below Richmond, in
what is now the brickyard region,
there used to stand. the residence of
the Mayo family, a place known,as
Powhatan. This place has long been
pointed out as the scene of the saving
of Smith by the Indian girl. but late
research has proved that, though
Smith did come up the James to the
present site of Richmond, his capture
by the Indians did not occur here, bat
in the vicinity of Jamestown. The
Indians took him first to one of their
viilages en York river, near the pres-
ent site of West Point, Va., and thence
to a place on the same stream in the
county of Gloucester, where the pow-
hatan, or tribal chief, resided. Here,
on the west side of the river, some nine
miles from Williamsburg, the scene of
Smith's rescue by Pocahontas has been
located.—Julian Street in Collier's.
“Overhang” Houses.
By the year 1670 wooden chimneys
{and log houses of the Plymouth and
Bay colonies were replaced by more
sightly houses of two stories, which
were frequently built with the second
story jutting out a foot or two over
1 the first and sometimes with the at-
tic story still further extending over
the second story. This “overhang” is
popularly supposed to have been built
for the purpose of affording a con-
venient shooting place from which to
repel the Indians. This is, however,
a historic fable. The overhanging sec-
ond story was a common form of
building in England in the time of
Queen Elizabeth, and the Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island settlers sim-
ply and naturally copied their old
homes.
Wild Ducks.
Canvasback and redhead ducks,
which are very quick of movement,

reach the desired elevation. Surface

pintail and teal, dy directly upward
from the surface of the water if the
emergency demands it.

4 This condition results from im-

same, and this is to empty the

ful of water a’ter another as rap-

est way of washing offending
substances out of the stomach.
If this is done in ten minutes one

about again in comfort. This
method of treating a sick head-

after the stomach has become
comfortable it is well to take a

these remedies will bring up the

How Wood Shrinks.
Students in the:colleze of forestry at
the University of Washington have
proved by expefiment that a cord of
full length wood when sawed and re
piled in the ordinary stack shrinks on
an average 21.76 per cent. As dealers
buy wood in full lengths and usually
measure it for delivery before sawing
it, they are often accused of giving
short measure.
A “cord” is the standard measure
ment of wood, and it is defined as 128
cubic feet of wood, measured by a pile
four feet high and eizht feet wide of
logs four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord as
bought by the dealer and as delivered
to the customer, according to Professor
Hugo Winkenwerder, dean of the col-
lege, is not entirely explained by the
sawdust. When wood is piled up in
four foot lengths there are many spaces
between sticks, caused by knots and
curvatures. These spaces are elim-
inated when the wood is cut up small.

ic period.

You leave a soiled towel in a Troon

under a stepladder to get to his room
and he will put up with it cheerfully.

Drastic Measures Are Approved

DRY ADVOCATES ARE HAPPY
Amendment to Constitution—Senate
Aims Against Transportation.
Prohibition has taken a step forward
in both branches of congress.
In the senate drastic amendments
to the postal appropriation bill were
agreed to which would make criminal
the importation of liquor into. states
which prohibit its manufacture and
sale for beverage purposes, and which
from the mails in states which legis-
late against such advertising.
On the house side the national pro-
hibition constitutional amendment was
committee, with a prediction by Chair-
man Webb that i* would be passed
within a week. Champions of prohi-
bition greeted this announcement with
enthusiasm, in spite of their realizax
tion that passage in the house will
end action on the amendment insofar
as this session of congress in con-
cerned. There is no thought of ac-
tion by the senate. before March 4,
when the sixty-fourth congress dies.
The amendment to the postoffice
appropriation bill to make it a crime
to ship liquor into prohibition states,
was added by Senator Reed of Mis-
souri, to the Jones amendment bar-
ring newspapers or other publications
or letters and postal cards contain-
ing liquor advertisements from the
mails in states which have laws
against such advertising. It was
adopted after brief debate by a vote
of 45 to 11, by the senate, sitting as
committee of the whole.
The original Jones amendment to
bar newspapers and other liquor ad-
vertisements from the mails in states
having anti-liquor advertising laws at-
taches the same penalties as provided
in the Reed amendment. Under this
provision no newspaper, pamphlet, let-
ter, postal card, circular ‘or publica-
tion of any kind containing liquor ad-
vertisements could be mailed into the
dry states.
To prevent prosecution of innocent
persons the measure explicitly states
that “if the publisher of any newspa-
per or other publications, or the
agents of such publication or if any
dealer in such liquors or his agent
shall knowingly” cause liquor adver-
tisements to be mailed in violation
of the proposed law, he shall be guilty
of violating the law.
Collieries Shut Down.
The coal business in the Irwin-
Greensburg field is almost at a stand-
still on acccunt of the car shortage
and the inability of the railroads to
move empties to the mines and start
loaded cars to their destination. The
normal output of 25,000 tons daily has
been reduced to 10,000 tons.
