game played by the American Indians
mounted on their ponies; there is the
Scotch golf and the game we cal
i'shinny;" there are cricket. baseball,
handball and the numerous variations
of the same games as affected by the
climatic conditions of the people who
play, but all showing the skill of the
player on the same general line.
AS in peace, SO in war, the nations
of the earth all show the influence OF
primary conditions. Primitive man
everywhere takes to the club as the
first weapon of offense' and defense.
The South Sea islander and the South
American Indian use exactly the same
pattern of club, differing only in the
nature of the wood and the ornaments
ton. Then came the spears and darts
"a remarkable collection from Aus
tralia, South and Central America,
Africa, Asia and Europe. A curious
thing observable of the shields is the
custom of marking the tribal or family
coat of arms on the front of the shield
and using it as civilized nations use
their hags-a standard to be followed
in battle and fought for to the death if
it is in danger Of capture. Some OF
the South Sea island shields, for in
stance, are covered with designs that
have served for hundreds of years as
the heraldic token of family gen.
ealogy beside which an English family
tree would seem miserably new and
tawdry.
A still further stage of development
in the weapon line is shown by the
formidable array of blow-guns
equipped with poisoned arrows. Here,
too, the parallel between separated
peoples is shown, for the forest natives
Of Africa and the savage forest tribes
of South America follow the same sys-
tenn of manufacture and use Of weap-
ons and depart from the parallel only
in the different poisons used.
Manufactures for domestic use, such
as the making Of cloth, weaving of
baskets, pottery manufacture and other
processes, naturally follow the discov-
cry of domestic necessities, and the
first man everywhere seems to have
conceived one general system to be
varied by the individual according to
his fancy, preserving always the dis
tinguishing mark of primitive
thought. The weavings of the Navajo
tribes have much the same textile
qualities as the loom products of the
East Indies; and both are matched in
closeness of fiber and smoothness of

PRESERVING FODDER CORN.


Four Ways Tested and Reported Upon at
the Vermont Experiment Station.
The corn harvested at the Vermont
station farm in 1899 was divided into
four portions. One part was run through
the cutter and all put into silo. The
second part had the stalks put into the
Bilo, the ears ground and fed with the
ensilage of the stalks. The third part
was stocked and fed ears and all to-
gether from the stock. The fourth part
was stocked, then the ears husked and
ground, and the meal fed with the cut
stalks. The experiment was conducted
with herd of 10 cows.
All four methods produced good fod-
der, well preserved and relished by the
cows. The whole ensilage, the corn fod-
der and the corn slower saved about the
same amount of dry matter ready for
feeding. The slower ensilage saved 3per
cent less than the other. The average
Of all was 90 per cent saved, Is per
cent lost. There was no great
difference in the amount Of milk or
butter produced by the different
methods. The difference between the
best, the whole ensilage, and the poorest,
the slower ensilage, was about 8 per cent.
The average of the two ensilages was the
same as that of the two stocked folders.
The same is true of the average of the
two stovers as compared with that Of
the two whole folders.
The four methods Of handling the crop
produced no effect on the quality of the
milk. The cows ate very different guam
titles of dry matter when on the differ
emit portions to produce equal quantities
of milk and butter. For each 100 pounds
of dry matter of the whole ensilage eaten,
the cows ate 119 pounds Of dry matter in
the slower ensilage, 100 pounds from the
corn fodder and 1877 pounds of dry mat
ter from the corn slower. If all Of each
fodder had been fed out under the con-
ditions of the experimental periods, with
corresponding amounts of rowen and
grain, the slower ensilage would have
produced 50 pounds Of milk for each 100
pounds produced by the whole ensilage.
The corn fodder would have produced
% pounds and the corn slower 82pounds.
The proportions are much the same with
regard to the yield of butter. One acre
of the corn crop preserved as whole en-
silage and fed with 4, 31S pounds of clover
rowen and 2,157 pounds Of grain pro-
duced a,113 pounds of milk, 1907 pounds
of total solids and 1913 pounds of butter.
The whole ensilage lasted the longest
every time. Consequently it would take
less of it to last a herd for a given time.
One acre of corn made into whole ensi-
lace Welded as much return in milk and
butter as 1926 acres made into slower en-
silage or los acres made into corn fod-
der or !. 26 acres handled as corn slower.

UNION MUTUAL LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY.

The imperative need of the protection
afforded by Life Insurance is made man
ifest every day. Of late, the grim spec
tire Death has stalked abroad in its most
hideous forms: accidents of the most ter
rible character-some resulting from nat
ural forces, others from the carelessness
of man-have been recorded day by day.
Immunity has been accorded to none;
neither age, youth nor status has claimed
exemption-the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, have alike fallen be-
fore the scythe of Deaths aNenging
angel. 1t is this uncertainty of life-t..a
converse of deaths certainty-th caus-
es those who reflect to avail themselves
of the beneficence of Life Insurance.
When death in it's terrible swiftness en-
tiers household, the pangs of the suffer-
ing bereaved are sufficiently acute with
out being added to by any prospective
view of perjury and want.
Life Insurance is duty; one of the
most sacred attaching to any bread-win-
ner, ana LeffiDle responsibility 1colo
upon the shoulders Of those who are in
any way neglectful in this connection.

QUENT UPON DEATH BY DISEASE

tual-issues policies than which none are

tween the specimens from three CONT

The anthropological exhibit as .
whole comprises collections from all
Of the most interesting people of
ancient history, and shows as well the
hygienic, penal and reformatory meth
DDS in use in civilized nations of to-
day. Nearly every great institution Of
the United States is represented by
models of it's working plant, and ali
charitable organizations are in evil
dence with charts and working mod
els showing their plans of operation.
Natural history also has its part in the
great display and might proftably be
made the object of special study by
those who are inclined to things scien-
tiRc. IT is expected almost the whole
of the exhibit from this department,
with portions Of other exhibit depart
ments, will remain in Chicago as the
nucleus of a great museum. An organ
ization has already been started with
this object in view and seems likely to
be successful. In that event the people
of the west will have access to it, sup
plying one Of the much-needed educa-
tional wants of the territory tributary
to Chicago and adding strength to the
westward movement of the country's
educational center.

eight hundred years old, from China
and the fourth purchased in Chicago
store Although separated In time Of
manufacture by more than a thousand
years, the four playthings are almost
identical in pattern and material, the
only difference being in the substitu-
ton OF steel point in the modern toy
for the sharp-whittled wooden point of
the Egyptian and Peruvian tops. The
American small boy, when he discov-
ers this evidence of brotherhood with
the ancients, fingers about the place,
marveling and asking questions until
he is literally dragged away by the
parents who have him in tow.
The older visitor is almost as greatly
surprised to find that the ancients
knew how to play what is now known
as the '.shell" game, and probably for
money as it is now. The implements
of play are there to show how the
adopts of old beguiled their victims
with the elusive shell under thimble-
shaped cup, with its suggestions OF
'tcapperss and fraud.
Then there are chess boards and men
from all the civilized nations addicted
to the game. The Chinese show mar
velous sets, carved in ivory and inlaid
with pearl, beside the ornate though
moro commercial-loosing pieces and
boards from the European nations and
America. All of them are the regula-
ton sets, showing that the oriental
people follow the game in exactly the
same fashion as their rivals of the oc-
cident. In playing-cards the same uni
sormity OF pattern Is observed, though
the designs are worked out in varying
degrees Of finish and workmanship.
THE most singular pack of cards is a
trophy of the Apache raids which ended
in the capture and exile Of Geronimo
and his followers in southern Arizona
and New Mexico. The entire pack is
made of human skin, evidently taken
from some captive Of the savages. The
skin is tanned and the spots marked
in FOR ssmonte" deck with the crude
pigments used as paint by the Apaches
and other southwestern tribes. When
Geronimo was finally captured the vii.
lage which he had left was raided by
United States troops and the deck
taken by an army officer as one relic
Of the campaign. Other less gruesome
tokens of the game of all nations are
deliberately decorated cards from Italy,
Esaace. Spain and complete editions"
of old English cards.

Bee Diarrhea.


| G. G. Miller says, with regard to the
sourse Of bees having diarrhea, that
something is wrong outside or inside
Too damp and cold place may cause it
with the best of food, and bad food may
cause it with the best conditions other
wise. G. II. Dibbern names as causes
bad food, excessive dampness, cold and
long confinement to their hives. A. j..
Cook thinks that poor food and too great
extremes of temperature will cause di-
arrhea, while M. Mahin lays the trouble
to dampness and poor honey. Mrs. Atch-
ley Of Texas says in The American Bee
journal, from which the foregoing is
CLEANED, that she has come to the con-
clusion that it is general disorder of
the digestive organs Of the bees, causing
great fever. 1t is caused by overeating
both honey and pollen and the lack of
good weather to fly and void their feces
and free then,selve from their sufferings.

MANSON c. LARRABEE,

The drying and grinding OF the ears OF
the slower ensilage and corn slower
seem to have made them less digestible,
and this is the reason why these portions
have done so much poorer than the whole
ensilage. Husking, Smelling and grind
ing the corn to make bushel of meal
costs in this state 16 cents, or more than
quarter Of the market value of the
meal. This labor and expense is more
than wasted, since the cows did better
on the whole corn than on the ground.
Dry corn fodder after being brought
into the barn is still undergoing fermen-
tation and loss even when no heating can
be detected. In the course Of 10 days
this loss may easily be half as much as
took place in the stock. These changes
and losses take place less rapidly in cold
weather than in warm. The losses Of dry
matter and feeding value in ensilage
are closely proportional to the losses in
weight. The ensilag2 at the time Of the
usual opening Of the silo has in it still
nearly all the feeding value that it.had
when put into the silo. The large losses
of feeding value that occur in the silo
are almost entirely at the time Of feed
ing out the ensilage. These losses can
be largely prevented by using small, deep
silos that will allow the feeding Of two
to three inches from the surface daily.
This is especially true Of ensilage to be
used in place of asoiling crop in summer
The ensilage in the lower portions of
silo is not so compressed and solid at the
time of feeding as would be expected
from its weight at the time the silo is
filed

border is composed of the badges OF
honor conferred upon Gen. Logan, and
the corps flags of the Army of the
