GET EXPLOSIVE FROM FLOWER
British Scientists Discover That Blos-
som of Mahua Tree in India Is
Rich in Acetone.
Boston,
The munition output of India has ir
two years been increased a thousand-
fold, mainly through the discovery that |
one of India's commonest blossoms, the
flower of the mahua or mhowra tree,
contains acetone in quantity. This tree
is widely known to all travelers in
Jritain’s Asiatic empire, but its use as
a base for explosives is at least one
thing new under the sun, says the
Scientific American.
When the war broke out, acetone,
which forms the chief ingredient of
cordite, was extracted mainly from
wood, maize, and starch; and the Brit-
fsh admiralty erected a great factory
for the process of acetone recovery
from starch. But fortunately two Eng-
lish scientists in Hyaerabad discovered
that the mahua flowers contained ace-
tone in larger proportions than it is
found in any other vegetable substance
—that this inoffensive bloom was ten
times richer in the material in ques- |
tion than any known wood. In fact,

NAR'S CALL TO THE FARMER
| Live Stock Breeder's Opportunity as
Well as Duty Presented by Big
Food Shortage.’
The present food shortage, which
threatens to become much more seri-
ous, is the live stock farmer's oppor-
tunity as well as the call to the pa-
triotic duty.
In view of the grave situation, the
division of animal forestry, University
Farm, St. Paul, offers the following
suggestions to the live stock farmers:
Keep all live stock off pastures till
the grass has a good start, and the sod
will withstand tramping and retain the
moisture in the soil. Much more feed
will be yielded and hay saved in the
long run by this method. “A week too
early to grass in the spring means
three weeks less pasture in the fall.”
Do not turn out steers about ready
for market ; they will shrink more than

| and crops to be hogged-off.
Rebreed sows that have farrowed
| early for fall litters wherever concen-
| trates are available for feed.
| Substitute and supplement oats -in
| the rations of farm and city work-
| horses by brewers’ grains, oilmeal, mo-
| lasses and alfalfa hay, thus releasing
| the oats for tlie horses in army serv-
| ice.
| Breed all suitable mares to the best

Keep chickens on city lots. They

‘SUMMER PASTURE FOR SWINE
| Green Food Is Required for Best De-
| velopment of Pigs—Alfaifa Is
| Relished by Animals.
|
| (North Dakota Agricultural College Bul-
{ letin.)
| Pasture should by all means be pro-
vided for the pigs. This is the cheap-
est food that can be provided, and
good development in the pigs re-
| quires green food. Alfalfa is one of
the best pastures. It is relished by
the pigs, is nutritious and provides
feed during the whole pasture season.
Many report splendid success with
| sweet clover where neither brome
grass nor winter rye is available. |
| Oats, barley and rape can be
in the spring and will produce green
feed till the hogs can be turned into |
the corn. If no alfalfa is available
{on the farm for pig pasture,
| spring will be the time to sow it.
| When the pigs are on pasture they
{ should be fed some grain, and the
pigs will get along with less grain
{ when on alfalfa than on most any oth-
| er pasture.
‘DOMESTIC HORSE IN DEMAND
instead of Looking to Europe for Ani-
mals We Are Now Sending Our
| Surplus There.
|
For a good many years the imported
| horse has been the standard, and it
i has seemed that most breeders would
not buy a high-priced animal unless
bred in Europe. Now the day has
come when we are not only satisfied
ourselves with the home-bred horse,
but the best breeders are looking to
foreign fields as an outlet for the sur.

Often the farmer in the spring of the
year has some old corn or old hay,

properly, is moldy and in bad condi-

Farmers should be careful how they

will be lost, a good mulch cannot be
obtained, and harm is more likely to
be done to the corn roots. As long as

The best authorities on the wheat
situation give it as their opinion that
for many years to come, wheat prices
will be high. They base their opinion
on a scientific calculation and their
reasoning seems to be sound. Anyway,
it is quite evident that for some years
to come, the producer of wheat will
be amply rewarded for any effort he
may make to develop this branch of
agricultural industry. Money may be
made on the high-priced lands of the
wheat-growing districts of the United
States, but it is a question if these
high-priced lands would not be more
profitably employed in other branches
of farming than in growing the smaller
grains, leaving it to lands just as pro=
