Kadr Corn and Alfalfa ss Hog Fe-d.
At the Kansas Experiment Station
ten hogs fed Kafir-corn meal and whole
alfalfa hay gained an average Of 900
pounds each in nine weeks, while
those having Kafr-corn meal alone
gained an average OF 52.4 pounds
each, an increase of over seventy-three
per cent, from feeding the hay. The
hogs fed hay ate more grain and
goined moro for each bushel eaten.
The gains per bushel of feed were:
Kafircorn meal dry and 1888
pounds alfalfa hay ..... loss lbs.
Kafir-corn meal dry alone. 7.4S lbs.
This shows a gain from the hogs
Of s6S pounds per ton of alfalfa hay

and with hogs at four cents per pound

the feeding value of the alfalfa alone,
but also to it's influence in aiding hogs
to better digest the Kaflr.corn. The
alfalfa also gave variety TO the ration,
making 1t more appetizing and induc-
ing the hogs to eat more grain. Wet
ting the Kaflr-corn meal made a saw
ing of nearly eight per cent over feed

caused a loss of over fourteen per

better results than the alfalfa hay.

A Feast.

An old darby who lives In the thick
cts across the river came to Memphis
one day to get his pension check cash
ed. After receiving his money, which
amounted TO $11, the old ex-slave saun-
tered down Front street to a produce
house and bought three crates of cab
bages. When they were delivered at
the wharf late that afternoon, the old
man was there and received them with
a mouth watering In anticipation of the
good time ahead
"Whut yer gwine ter do wid dem cab
bages?" inquired the negro drayman
who delivered them.
Eat 'em," was the quick response.

KNEW THE NOON HOUR.
Pair of Horses Tint stopped When
the whistles blew.

A pair of intelligent horses attracted
the attention of large crowd on Mas
sau street at noon one day last week.
They were attached to a heavily load
ed ice wagon coming down the steep
grade between Cedar street and Maid
en- lane and were holding back the
wagon with a noticeable effort. When
they were half way down. the whistles
blew for IL O'Clock. Suddenly the
horses drew in toward the curb and
began to plant their hind feet well for
ward to stop tire wagon.
The driver made no effort to check
them. and their hard work at once at
tracted notice. Pedestrians looked at
the horses and then at the driver, who
had broad grin on his face. By hard
work the wagon was stopped. The
driver sat still and watched his AMI
mails. One of them Immediately be-
gan rubbing his head against the neck
Of the other and with mods and pushes
succeeded In rubbing his Bride off.
Then the other horse took his turn at
rubbing, and his bride came Off.
Fully 200 persons had watched this.
and when II was completed the driver
got down from his seat and swung a
bag of oats over the nose of each ami
NAL. They stood there and ate their
midday meal. The driver was patient
and proud of his team. He petted them
and talked TO them and when they
were through drove off whlstling.

growth, maturity aud decline? 1t pre-
sents all the phenomena of animal and
vegetable growth. II sprouts from the
brain without any prolongation of the
frontal bone. 1t rises and breaks
through the slnews and takes root on
the bone, growing the same as n vege-
table. II Is nourished by and secretes
nlbumen upon the surface and dlsposes
of the fibrine the same as an animal.
1t Is clothed with n skin and hairy
coat very different from that on the
rest of the body. This covering and
hair possess a property unknown In
other animal bodies-that of being a
styptlc TO staneh its own blood when
wounded. II carries marks of the age
on the buck by putting out an extra
branch each year. which shows an ad.
dltional power each year TO produce
them. And this power does not exist
In the female. So this difference is
more distinctly marked than In any
other class of animals Again, the horn
possesses properties unknown In any
other animal matter. II Is entirely in
odorous. capable OF resisting putrefac-
tlon and almost imperyious TO the eff
fects OF the atmosphere.
And still water at 800 degrees f. will
dissolve these horns readily. even
though they are not soluble In alcohol
and resist the action of acids and aka
lies. II Is the only vegeto animal sub
stance that we know OF that does not
perpetuate itself by procreation.
The male and the female are sustain
ed by the same nutrition and elements,
and the male only produces horns. This
phenomenon is quite as much Of a curl
osity as the absence of the horn In the
buck after shedding.

DEPTH OF A RAINFALL.
The Method by which 1t Is Accurate.
" Measured


Probably one question that has puz-
zled the lay mind is how the depth of a
rainfall may be accurately determined.
The way 1t is done Is this:
A funnel whose larger aperture rep
resents a surface of 100 square inches
is placed In position where it may
catch the direct fall of the rain, with
the rim of the funnel extending per
haps an inch or more beyond the plat.
form TO which it may be fixed. This
is for the purpose of preventing any
rain from being washed into the funnel
and increasing the true fall From this
funnel the water runs to tube which
bears an exact and carefully determin-
ed ratio 10 the area of the tunnels
mouth, say ne-tenth.
IT, therefore. the tube shows water to
the depth Of an inch IL Is clear that one
tenth Of an inch of rain has fallen. The
tube is provided with carefully grad
uated scale so that the fall may be
readily seen. Three inches of rain
would show n depth of 80 inches in a
tube one-t.-lth the size of the receiving
aperture. and the decimals of an inch
could be quickly noted by observing the
scale.
If placed on the roof of building
the apparatus should be kept away
from the edges to prevent any peculiar
slant of the wind carrying into the fun.
mel larger proportion of rain than
would fall into II under normal condi-
tlons. Tie larger the aperture Of the
receiving funnel Is made the more ac-
curate will be the results obtained.
A curious fact that has'been noted in
connection with la;nfalls Is that gauges
placed on roofs usually gather less wa
ter than those placed on the ground.
This is accounted for on the theory that
he rain IN falling absorbs some of the
moisture of the mir. and the greater dis
lance II fails the larger will be the
hulk Of the individual drops. = New

First Horse In Centr.I Afr,ca


In "A White Woman In Central AZ
rica" Miss Caddick gives an interesting
account of the first horse which had
survived the attacks OF the tsetse fly on
the journey from Durham to Mamie.
This lucky or luckless animal had an
adventure on the way which came near
ending its history IL not Its life.
The horse was landed safely at Chi.
romo, but one evening while the party
was in camp something frightened It,
and 1t broke away, with the saddle on
its back
The boys followed it In vain and at
last gave it up as lost and went on to
Mamie. From there natives were sent
out in all directions to search for the
lost horse.
II was quite two weeks before the
animal was found, tired out. very hun
CRY aud still very much frightened. It's
saddle was still on. but turned under
meath its body.
1t was the first horse the natives had
seen. and they gazed at 1t awestruck,
not daring TO touch 1t, nor even to go
near It, Finally they gave the animal
great heap of native corn, and while
1t was eating they hastily put a fence
around 1t. which they made very high
and strong. They then built n roof to
shelteg the horse from the sun and sent
off for the owner to come quickly.
1t was long time before the poor
beast got over the fright and the ia
tigue and the sore places caused by the
saddle, but 1t did recover at last and be-
came the joy and pride of its owner

Coffee Not Necessarily Harmful.

at the department Of agriculture
some thorough tests have been made OF
samples of coffee to determine the ex-
tent and nature of coffee authorizations.
The results are entirely reassuring to
coffee lovers. The expert In charge
finds that while very little pure Java
or Mocha berries find their way into
the American market, almost II not
quite as good favored beans are had
from other tropical places, Porto Rico
and Hawaii being mentioned as fur
nishing good coffee. The adulterants,
when used. are for the most part harm
less.

that the use of coffee In moderation
should not do any injury to adults even

This is cupful-only half Of 1t coffee,
the rest hot milk-at breakfast, none
at noon, and a small cup of black coffee

doubtedly coffee may act as a poison.
and such persons, Of course, should not
drink It. The average grown person in
normal health may use 1t moderately

Tougher Thnn Leather.

As he spoke he took a pinch of the

of triumph In his eyes, began to chew

As money is to be the master, would
II not be wise to have our peerage
established on the decimal system? 1t
would work out In this way. The rank
of n man should depend entirely upon
his income as returned by him for tax
ing purposes and would vary with 1t.
Thus one with an income of f150,000
and over would be a duke, 100000
would be a marquis. 10000 would be
an earl. f25.000 would be viscount.
10000 would be a baron, $1,000 would
be a baronet. f1.o00 would be a knight
and $500 would be an esquire. The
rest would be the copper classes.
The scheme would be especially
seryiceable in increasing the amount
of the income tax, for Of course every
self respecting Englishman would re-
turn his income at the highest figure
which his resource could support.
What man so sordid that, having but
$500 year, he would not willingly
pay tax on $1,000 so as to enjoy the
right of being dubbed knight? The
instinct of self advancement would
make each pay on the highest scale.
so that the revenue would benefit
enormously, and the authorities
could rely upon the vast Majority of
