Good judges say that cue of the next To-
from substantial town TO q thriving me-
tropolis in q few years will be the city Of
Superior, Wisconsin, and this, too; without
the effort and struggle through which in
tertor towns have passed while effecting
the same result Untila year or two ago
the average man did not stop to think that
Superior as q monopolist Of the water and
rail termini at one end Of the lakes is In the
same position as Buffalo ut tho other end
Figures are uninteresting unless given
briefly, but comparisons are always impor-
tant. This little Superior, credited by its
more coal last year than did Chicago; of
grain, 1t shipped nineteen million bushels ;
OF flour, sixteen hundred thousand barrels !;
OF wool, four million pounds; of merchan-
disc, to the value of thirteen million dol
lars. OF all lake cities this business was
second only to Chicago in magnitude.
There is an economical reason for this con-
dftion Of things. lis that the rail rate on
freight sent west of Lake Michigan is one
cent per ton per mile, while the water rate
ts one-tenth Of one cent per ton per mile.
This position ut the extreme western end of
Lake Superior Is what gives the city of Su-
perior its prestige, and is making 1t grow
faster than Chicago ever did Besides one
hundred and one smaller industrial con-
Germs, Superior has located twenty eight
large manufacturing enterprises in the past
eighteen months, including the American
Steel Barge Company, the builders Of the
famous "whalebacis' vessel. which is revo-
lutionizing the lake and ocean freight-car-
rying trade. The twenty eight institutions
above mentioned, include iron and steel
plants, -four mills, stove foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers, shipbuilders and
saw and shingie mills. The most couserva-
tive business men in the Northwest believe
that Superior will grow faster in the next
ten years than any other city In that pros
porous section of the country, and many of
them claim that Chicago, st Paul, Mime
apolis and Milwaukee have never seen the
rapid growth that will come to the head OF
the great chain Of lakes and the city OF Su-
perior.

Doea 1t Pay to Feed Cows Grain When on

DoeA 1t Pay to Feed Cows Grain When on
Pasturee
The experiment station of Cornell
university has conducted three expert
ments carried through as many sea-
sons, for the purpose of determining
whether it is profitable to feed grain to
cows when on good pasture.
The first two experiments were made
at the station on lots of three cows
each, the cows being in good condition
and running on good pasture. AS some
objection was raised against the test on
the ground that the pastures used were
too rich and the cows too we'll fed to
show the best results from grain feed
ing in the summer time, the experiment
of 1891 was transferred to herd of six
teen Jerseys and Jersey grades belong
ing to Messrs. c. M. and w. L. Bean, of
McGrawville, N. Y. This herd had
been accustomed to only moderate
grain ration in winter and never had
any grain in summer This herd was
divided into two lots of eight cows each.
the division being made by the station
on the basis of weight, length of time
in milk, length of time in calf, yield of
milk per day and per cent OF fat in
milk, and was Endorsed by the owners
of the herd in the opinion that ''the
cows were as evenly divided as it was
possible for them to be-"
The experiment continued from May
esd to October cad, or twenty-five weeks.
One lot of cows received each day four
quarts of a mixture of two parts corn
meal, one part bran and one part cotton
seed meal by weight, fed in two feeds,
night and morning, when the cows were
brought in to be MIXED.
The general results of the three years
experiments are summarized as follows:
In 1889, in a season in which the pas
turage was very luxuriant throughout
the whole summer, with three cows in
each lot. the grain fed lot gave consider
able less milk which was so much richer
in butter fat, that the total butter pro-
duction was practically the same in the
two lots In this experiment, the grain
feeding was commenced about a month
after the cows had gone to pasture.
In 1890, in a season in which the
pasturage was luxuriant, except for q
short time in the middle of the summer,
with three cows in each lot, the total
amount of butter fat produced was al
most exactly the same in both lots. In
this experiment the grain fed lot con-
tiuued to receive the same ration on
pasture, that they had been receiving
during the winter on dry feed.
In 1890, in an experiment on soiling
with grass alone, with grass and grain,
just about enough more butter was
produced by the grain feed to pay for
The increased cost of the grain ration.
In 1891, in q season in which at no
time the pasture was very luxuriant,
with eight cows in each lot, the grain
fed lot produced just enough more milk
and butter to pay for the increased cost
of the grain ration. In this experiment
the grain feeding was begun about two
weeks after the cows went to pasture.

SINGLE TAX DEPARTMENT.
The Single Tax In Detroit

The Detroit News, one of the publica-
lions of the famous Scripps league of
daily papers, the most influential news
paper enterprise in the United States,
has made careful examination into
the probable effect in Detroit of the
single tax on land values. 1t was for
merely the custom in that city. and it
is still in most communities, to dis
criminate for taxing purposes in favor
OF the owners of vacant land, upon the
theory that as they received no income
from their property they ought to pay
less taxes than the owners of property
yielding incomes But recently a new
custom has been esta blished in Detroit,
under which land values are fully APP
praised for taxation regardless of inn
provements. This is in the direction of
single tax, though it falls very far short
OF 1t, since improvements and personal
property are still subject to taxation.
1t was to ascertain the effect on in
dividuals and classes by consideration
of actual instead of suppositious cases.
that the Detroit News made the exami-
nation referred to above. It's plan, as
stated editorially, was to take average
examples from the assessors books in
sufficient number to enable almost any
taxpayer to exhume his tax receipts and
figure out for himself the effect of the
single tax upon his own interests. Fol-
lowing is an account of the result:
The manner of estimating the rate of
taxation on land values, if buildings
and other improvements were exempt,
is very simple. The present valuation
of the city of Detroit is:

Parsons of Fil,al Piety.

Filial piety is the special virtue of
China and Japan. From IL springs 10y
atty to the emperor, who is regarded as
.thsfather and mother Of his people,"
There are no greater favor1tes with the
japanese than the "Four-and-twenty
Paragons of Filial Piety," whose acts Of
virtue are the subject Of Chinese legends.
One of the paragons had cruel step
mother who was very fond OF hsn. Never
repining at her cruel treatment OF him,
he lay down on the frozen surface of q
lake. The warmth Of his body melted
hole in the ice, at which two carp came
up to breathe; these he caught and took
home to his stepmother.
Another paragon, a boy with most
sensitive skin, insisted on sleeping with
out any covering at night, 50 that the
mosquitoes should fasten on him, while
his parents slumbered undisturbed.
Another, who was of the female sex,
chung to the jaws of tiger which was
about to devour her father until the lat
ter had escaped.
The drollest of all these stories is that
of Rorashi. This paragon, though seven
ty years old, used to dress IN baby's
clothes and crawl about on the floor.
His object was to delude his parents,
who were really over ninety years Of
age, into the idea that they could not be
SO very old after all, as they had such
an exceedingly infantile son!
The Japanese consider that one of the
gravest dangers to the future welfare of
their country arises from the importa-
ton of our less patriarchal western ideas.

The Old Constitution.

The Constitution originally carried
forty-four guns. A particularly inter-
esting history is connected with this
ship. During the war with the Barbary
powers in 1903 she was Commodore
Preble's flagship IN the Mediterranean
and played a conspicuous part during
the whole war. Lieutenant Wadsworth,
who was blown up before Tripoli in the
i'll fated Intrepid, was one Of the officers
of the Constitution. In the course of
the war with England in 1919 the Eng
lish papers laughed at the Constitution
and spoke of her as ''a bundle of pine
boards sailing under a bit of striped
bunting" But when under Captain
Hull she captured the English frigate,
the Guerrero, vessel of nearly equal
force, the people who had before ridi-
culed her called her zone of the stanchest
vessels aaoat." A few months after this
victory the Constitution, then COM
