Peas for Pigs.

Peas contain 20.2 per cent. of digesti-
Bile muscle forming nutrients and 59.S
per cent. of heat and fat producers
hence they make excellent food for pigs
and all other young stock as well. For
the young animal the muscle producers
in the food should constitute much
larger proportion than for the mature
one. Taking cows milk as model the
relation of the flesh formers to the heat
and fat givers is of the former to 3.37
of the latter, while in peas the ratio is
to 80.
Figuring by the German standard,
when the feeding value of corn is $1.1O
per 100 pounds, oats SO cents, barley
95 cents and wheat bran $104 that of
peas is $1.44 per hundred pounds. It
must be understood that the above
values apply only when fed in properly
balanced rations; that is, the nutrients
must be in the exact proportion to sup
ply the wants Of the animal body with
out waste in any one Of them. No other
food so easily obtainable in the state,
except ground oilcake, contains so large
a per cent of muscle making nutrients.
Corn contains only S.4 per cent, oats
per cent, barleyS per cent. and wheat
bran 1875 per cent.
On account Of the small per cent. of
fat in peas. being but IL per cent. the
pea ration would be much improved by
adding small quantity of oilcake or
flaxseed. This would counterfeit the
tendency of this food to constipation
Oilcake would add to it's muscle making
value, since it contains still larger per
cent. of albuminoids. For quality of
pork, flavor, solidity and whiteness corn
stands first and field peas second. In
this part of the state where clover is not
reliable, peas, or peas and oats sown to-
gether, do excellently for green forage.

AS soon as the war broke out the Nor
wegian lad shouldered a musket and
went to the front as private in the
Fourth Wisconsin infantry, with which
he served until after hostilities had
ceased. He had read law and soon after
che war was admitted to the bar.
Knute Nelson was natural born poll
tician, and in 1869 he served in the
Wisconsin legislature. About that time
he moved to Douglas county, MINI. He
had not been there long before he was
again actively engaged in politics, being
elected prosecuting attorney in 1879.
Mr.. Nelson afterward served four years
in the state senate, and in 1880 was an
elector on the Garfield ticket. He was
elected to congress in 1882, and re-elect-
cd in 1884 and 1886. In 1855 he received
the largest majority ever given to any
candidate in that district.
Mr.. Nelson. although a Republican
member of congress, voted for the Mills
bill. and also introduced small free
trade measure. Since March 4, 1889,
Mr.. Nelson has been in private life.

motherof today either remembers or has
treasured up and laid away manuscript
poems full of sentiment which were adj
dressed to them by the rhymster, Coates
Kinney. He caught an inspiration one
night while trying to woo sleep in the
old college dormitorys and there put on
paper that beautiful bit of verse, ssThe
Rain on the Roof" This poem made
Coates Kinney famous. It began travel

not remember it: 1p

The author has written very little
poetry and no great amount of prose,
yet several Of his productions will live.
He was born near Penn Yam, Yates
county, N. Y, Nov. "a, 1895, was taken
to Ohio quite young and got his college
education at Antioch college, Yellow
Springs. He studied law with the IA
nous Tom Corwin and practiced little,
then turned his attention to journalism
and finally gained wealth and the title
of colonel by four years in the army as
paymaster. He was delegate to the
Republican national convention Of 1868
and member of the Ohio senate in
1898.
He lives in an elegant residence in
Xenia, o., and lives well, having acquir-
ed one moderate fortune and married
lady with another--the daughter of a
banker named Allen. He is described as
keen and witty in conversation and quite
agreeable, save when his talk takes on
sarcastic tone; in fact, his opponents in
discussion insist that he puts altogether
more acid in his talk than is desirable.
He has one married and one single
daughter, and has always been domestic
in his habits, not at all ambitious and not
inclined to hard work.

gave me what we have since called STROUT'S

me feel like new man, and the second bottle
enabled me to walk with crutches, and after
taking the third bottle threw crutch and cane

COATES KINNEY.
The Author of the Poem ''The Rain on

The Autl,or of the Poem ''The Rain ON
the Roof"
The name Of Coates Kinney, in the
August number of Harper's Magazine,
and the tinge of melancholy and pensive
sentiment in the poem to which it
is attached, bring to many old readers
the pleasant knowledge that the author
of .sThe Rain on the Roof" is still the
same in mind that he was some forty
years ago.
AS a student in the Waynesville (O.)
academy, he then acquired some fame
among his fellow students as a writer Of
verses. Like most young schooltime
poets, his effusions were sentimental
rather than epical, and many wife and

COLORS AND COLOR BLINDNESS
The Three True Primary Colors Are Red,
Green, and Violet.


Color blindness iS a serious defect
wherever found, says the United Ser
vice. It is especially 50 in scafarin.r :
men and in those employed on rail
roads. Possibly it is less important in
a soldier. although it must impair his
efficiency materially. Nor Is it possible
TO repair tie defect by education or
study, apparently, for it is now gencr-
ally agreed that color is due to sensa-
ton. According to WurSch and Young
the normal eye has only three color
sensations a rcd, a green, and "a violet
and the apparent color of any light
which falls on il depend, merely on the
relative intensitics OF the excitement
produced by the light on the three
organs of sense corresponding to these
sensations.
EF color blindness one or more OF
these organs of sense Is wanting or inn
perfect. The most common form,
Daltonism. depends on the absence
Of the red sense. From the ex-
perimcntS of lIoimgren on two persons,
each of whom was found to have one
color-blind eye, the other being nearly
normal. it was found llvhat could other
wise have been only a matter of theory
that those persons could describe the
various cOlOrS with one eye but that
there was a dead uniformity of colo-
when looking with the other eve.
Thus was obtained a description of
coior-blind vision in terms of normal
vision.
The old artists considered that there
really were three primary color sensa-
tions-bluc. yellow and red. But
IclmhOltz and Maxwell have now CON
cluaivcly proved that the three
primaries are red, green and vio,et.
