Increase of Fertility.

The value of many feeding stuffs Is
based on their digestibility, but even
when food is digested it is not all as
simulated, the larger portion being
voided. OF the protein in clover hay
nearly one-half fails to digest and of
the digested portion the manure heap
receives a large share. If a ton of
clover hay is worth $40, enough of it
goes into the manure heap to equal SO
worth of fertilizers. A ton of cotton
seed meal, which may cost the farmer
$50, will return to him, in the manure,
about SIS, and that too. after the
farmer has used these foods for pro
ducing meat, milk and butter, though
the estimates depend, of course, upon
the market prices for plan: foods. The
reason is that much of the food is com
posed of fat and starch, which create
heat and fat for the animals, but fat
and starch come from the air and not
from the soil, hence the real plant
foods of the materials purchased for
use on the farm are those portions
which are added to the manure. In
fact, at $50 per ton for cotton-seed
meal, it can land isl profitably used on
the land as fertilizer, but in so doing
the farmer loses some portions which
can be utilized by stock. and which are
of no value as manure. BY feeding all
foods to stock they are simply passed
through the body of the animal and
rendered more acceptable to plants
the animals being machine for reduc
ing foods to condition fit for vegeta
ton. 1t may be several seasons before
the whole of the materials are exhaust
ed from the soil, while every year the
land increases in fertility and produces
more than before.

p.sncb Electrical Railways.

Germany heads the list of European
countries in the mileage of its electrical
street railways. France racks second
and is making rapid strides toward first
honors. In 1897 1t added lit kilometers
fabout So miles, TO its equipment; the
addition in Il months almost equals
the entire extent of electrical railroads
in England. The French electrical lines
are operated by 1913 companies. OF
these 172 used overhead trolley wires. 8
have adopted underground conductors
and Is prefer accumulators.

For workine Butter.

The correct method of working but
ter is by pressure precisely the same
as pie crust is rolled with rolling pin.
Fold it over and roll again, and repeat
until done. The reason this is not
practicable in hand working of butter
is that more pressure is required with
butter than can be done by the unaided
band. But one of the very best styles
of butter workers, known as the roller
butter maker, is exactly on this prin-
ciple, the roller being on sliding
frame which is pushed back and forth
over the butter, the handles being ar
ranged to give leverage, as shown in
the first picture. This style, says the

Frozen Meat.

Fresh meat may be kept long time
If thoroughly frozen. 1t should, how
ever, be hung in pure, cold air until a
thaw comes, when it should be at once
cooked or sailed. Freezing the meat
has opened its pores to air, and so soon
as this legins to be tainted putrefac-
ton soon sets in. Hence the pork that
has once frozen through is harder to
keep than that which was packed when
only the animal heat was out of it,

PYRAMIDS OF NAPATA.

The opportunity for making an eXcur-
sion to the pyramids of Napata pre-
scented itself recently, and | eagerly
embraced the chance of visiting these
interesting and little known relics of
the past. The pyramids lie clustered
together in the western side of Gehcl
Barkal mountain, Il huge mass of sand
stone rock which rises maiestically out
of the desert, as Gibraltar rises from
the sea. This mountain, though of no
great height. is landmark for many
mile around and from Merawi camp
the pyramids themselves were plainly
visible above the belt of palm trees on
the oppusI,e bank of the Nile.
These pyramids are six in number,
and with one exception lie in a wonder
fully perfect state of preservation.
None of them, however, is of any such
vast dimensions as the pyramids at

Lose Their Pnfafnea

Authentic reports reach Chippewa Falls
to the effect that upwards of 100000
bushels of potatoes have been lost to the
farmers of Chippewa County by freezing
in the pits, owing to the continued cold
weather. The absence of snow on the
ground permitted the frost to work in
deeper than it " ould otherwise have done
and the farmers will suffer heavy losses
on their potato harvest in consequence.

How Often to Feed Cows

The COW is a ruminant animal, and
this means that she takes time to digest
her food in the most thorough manner
If fed literally night and morning and
in sufficient variety she will eat more
heartily than if three full meals are
offered TO her per day. AS noon a few
corn stalks or clover hay may be given.
In feeding grain to cows it should be
ground and mixed with enough cut
feed to make ii bulky. If cows eat
whole grain or meal not mixed with
cut food it goes to their second stom-
ach and does not come up to be chew
ed in the cud.-American Cultivator.

that the encounter was not hostile but
that Baldez was merely throwing the
bottles in the air to see if Romero
could shoot them. On the witness
stand, though, Baldez weakened
and said he was very much
in earnest and was throwing
the bottles to save himself. Ro-
nero was therefore compelled to
hunt up a new line of defense. He
swore that he shot his gun off to scare
Baldez, shooting once at the ground
and once into the air. Other testi-
mony showed that he was the beginner
of the trouble and the aggressor all
through it. Concerning this, Romero
pleaded drunkenness. He was held to
the grand jury and Baldez was dis
charged.

Of which Mr.. Whitney Layton, of st.
Louis, is secretary, is defending a
criminal action brought by the author
tiles for violation of the law which
prohibits the use of alum, arsenic, ETC.,
in baking powders aud other articles
of food It seems that Mr.. Layton has
already been arrested for selling bak-
ing powder containing alum. The
combination of alum powder manu-
facturers will probably have Its hands
full IN defending similar suits, as it is
said to be the determination of the
prosecuting authorities to rigldly en-
force the law.
In prohibiting the sale of articles of
food containing alum, Missouri has
followed the recommendation of the
leading physicians and boards Of
health of the country, and it would
appear as if the law strictly enforced
would remove source of danger to
the public health which has for years
been the cause of much concern to all
medical men. Meantime housekeep-
ers will aid the authorities in driving
out the danger by demanding of their
grocers a baking powder that does not
contain alum.
