Feeding Moia..e. to stock.

Some years since Prof. Maercker
after a series Of extended experiments
concluded that the maximum Of mo-
Eisses 10 be fed per 1000 pounds live
weight and per diem was three to
four pounds for oxen and two and a
half pounds for milch cows. These
limits have frequently not been ad-
hered to, and many complications
have followed. OF hate it is urged
that a special molasses fodder be
used; II consists, besides the resi-
dunn OF some absorbing medium.
In these compounds molasseSs fire.

total. Experts now say, however,
that 4 far better proportion Is TO have

substances, that is TO say, 80 per cent,

elements 1t may consist.
Already on several European mar
kets a product Is sold for stock feed;
its composition Is 60 per cent, mo-
lasses, 40 per cent cocoa oil cake
containing 20 per cent. protein, 3 per
cent. fatty substances and % per cent.
sugar., which is sold for a fraction
more than one e n per pound. An
other fodder is composed of 20 per

palm nuts and 40 per cent molasses.
Several factories undertake their
own mixing and the substances OBJ

In every case the results by feed.

increased. Satisfactory results have
been obtained in f%attening sheep with

The Human Body a Furnace.

The digestion and food assimilation
by the human body Is really a species
Of combustion, as, Of course, nearly
every one knows, and that the human
stomach may well be likened to a fur
nance in which certain quantities OF
fuel must be burned to accomplish GER
tain purposes, has received a new and
very interesting demonstration by M.
Pictet, who Of late has carried ont a
series of striking low temperature ex-
periments. The most recent OF these
related particularly to heat radiation
from the human body. AS described
before the French Academy Of Sci
ences, he placed himself, well protect
ed with furs, ia a huge tube OF which
the temperature could be reduced to rs
low a point as 100 degrees Centigrade.
His head alone remained outside, since
the breathing in Of air as cold as this
would be seriously injurious. At a
temperature of so degrees the furs
were found to arrest radiation, which
fact explains the resistance to cold ex-
hibited by polar animals. Below 20
degrees the heat passed through the
furs, but no special sensation Of cold
was felt. Nature ut this point came
into action by exciting internal phe-
nomena of combustion and digestion,
SO that In about four minutes the sens
alton of hunger was experienced. In
fact. NJ. Pictet asserted that In this
way he was cured Of dyspepsia, from
which he had suffered for several
years, eight sittings in a tube cooled
down to lilo degrees having sufficed
for the purpose. We have here, there
fore, a decidedly novel exhibition of
thermo-dynamic functions going on
within our bodies.-Cassier's Magazine.

alarming extent among a great number Of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by tine manu-
facturers to be a positive and speedy cure for any
form Of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient Is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit Of taking them Is
easily formed, but almost impossible TO shake
off Women usually begin taking them 10 re-
heve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder 10 alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phiue or opium fend, get into the habit Of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
If they happen TO miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DR..

THE NIMBLE SIxPENCE.

The East Oregonian keeps reiterating
and emphasizing its advice to get out of
debt, and stay out. There never was
better advice given, and never any less
palatable; yet an examination into the
subject of interest, and a study of the
silent workings of a nimble penny will
convince any one that no business in
the world will beat the game where in
terest has a fair show at it. Money in
Oregon generally commands about ten
per cent interest, and while it is unlaw-
ful to compound it, yet this is done in
reality where the interest is paid yearly.
because then the money lender, having
the interest money, re-lends it.
To show the difference between the
steady accommodations of honest labor
and the deadly work of interest, we pre-
sent a small example. IF, for instance.
man had gone to work on new years
day of the year 1 and worked until new
years day A. D. 2O0l and had saved
every day 81, he would have at that
date to his credit $7SO,OOO. Suppose at
the same time the man had deposited
GCAb aS ~ pei OChS AAtCA CSbg VI az tCA
cent and compounded it, it would have
doubled every ten years. Suppose that
he only drew his interest at the end of
ten years and then mad loaned 1T, or in
other words compounded il at the end
of each ten years. At the end of the
Grst ten years he would have had
cents, the second cents, the third 8,
the fourth 16. the fifth 81, the sixth 81,
the seventh $1.28, the eightho$2 56, the
ninth $5.12, and the tenth 1924. In
other words, the cent has increased !, ,024
times in one hundred years. If the cent
will increase that number of times in a
hundred years, $l0.24 will also increase
that number of times, so that at the end
of 200 years we would have 1924 times
$l0.24, or $40, ,4S5. .76, as the sum earned
by 1 cent in 200 years. Now, if that
sum can be earned by a cent in 200
years, the amount itself would earn in
200 years more, sum equal to the
square of itself, or to simplify the calcu-
lation and calling it $1O,4S6, we find
that at the end of 400 years the sum
earned by l cent would be $lO9 956, 1896.
At the end of 300 years this sum would
be increased to an amount equal to the
square of itself, or $l2 2,09O, 1856, OBS, ,79O, :
sic. This amount, if in gold, would
weigh 5000 billions of tons, which again
squared would show at the end of l ,60U
years S6,oOO,OOO billions of tons of solid
gold. AS these figures are beyond the
power Of the mind to conceive, it is un-
necessary to add the additional increase
Of 400 years more, but which would he
the last amount multiplied by los, $780,
1876, which would make a weight greater
than that of the globe. In the mean
while the man saving dollar day
would have in gold about one ton and q
half.
That is the difference between interest
and labor, and who is there can hope to
run up against it?
