COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE
South and Central America Exploit
Their Great Product-Porto
Rico Represented.

The value of the st. Louis Exposi-
tion as an advertising institution and
school of instruction is fully appre-
ciated by the great coffee growing
countries of South and Central Amer
lea. These countries are showing
their coffees to the thousands of
Worlds Fair visitors and creating new
demands for the better varieties pro-
duced, which now find a market at
home or in England and Germany.
The countries claim as great merit
for their high grade coffees as is pos
sessed by the famous Mocha and Java,
and they seek to give the public an
object lesson in the use OF coffee
Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to
all visitors at the Brazil building,
free of charge, in order that they may
sample better grade of Rio.
Porto Rico also has an extensive
coffee exhibit, with the hope of pro-
noting larger trade with it's new
mother country

WORK FOR YOUNG HORSES
Many Mistakes Are Made in This Di-
rection by Farmers Who Ought
to Know Better.

It may be considered that horse is
fairly termed young until it is eight
years old, and after that it ought to
be expected to accomplish any reason
able amount of work asked of it with
out injury. | often think we are in
clined to ask too much of your young
horses; we work them too hard with the
same effect that working children too
hard has: it stunts their growth and
prevents them from accomplishing what
they should when they reach maturity
Feeding young horses is one of the Sc
rious problems of farm work and one
which each horse owner must, largely,
work out for himself.
We have found it not only economical
but good policy to fed the young horse
a moderate quantity of corn, about one
fifth of the ration, but we always feed
cracked corn and thus avoid any serious
bowel troubles. However, we learned
after some years of experimenting that
to get the best results from feeding a
ration in which cracked corn was used
we must feed more or less succulent
food. For this purpose we have used
root crops, a moderate amount of silage
or stemed clover hay, and had the best
results from the root crops. During the
summer we always permit the young
horses to get enough grass to supply the
green food needed to keep them in good
condition.-American Tribune.

BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD
Long Regarded as a Luxury by Ma
tives of Tropics-Bread and
Coffee Facts

Long-regarded only as luxury for
children or proper food for the dark
skinned natives of the tropics, the
banana has advanced to a place of
prominence as great food product.
The United States and other great ma
tions having colonies in the tropics
have been investigating the food value
of the banana and the results obtained
are so satisfactory that the nutritious
banana is taking its place as a staple
food among all civilized nations.
To overcome all objections, the
banana has been especially dried and
prepared for food by making it into
a fine flour out of which bread is
made, and other process turns the soft
mushy banana into wholesome cof-
fee.
The st. Louis Exposition is being
used by the manufacturers of banana
bread and banana coffee to introduce
this new food to the world. Now this
nutritious bread and coffee are served
daily to visitors in the Palace of
Agriculture, as one of the many OBJ
ject lessons in food at the World s
Fair.

BOUNDARY CHANGES.

Contention Between the Two South
ern States Brings Out Some Sensa-
t'onaI Facts Regarding Topography
OF the Country. !
The testimony taken for the United
States supreme court In the case OF
the Louisiana Mississippi boundary
has proved as sensational as 1t was
expected to be in the matter of the
marvellous changes that have taken
place in the topography of the 'coun-
try in recent years.
The question at issue Is the coast
line of Louisiana in 1912, because this
fixes the water boundary of the state
and determines whether the oyster
reefs off the coast, valued at $10,00O,-
900, belong to Louisianan or Missis-
sippi. The old maps declare in favor
of Louisiana. The contention Of Mis-
sissippi Is that these maps are in
correct, and that tho country in dis
pute has always been the mixture Of
marsh, mud and water 1t is to-day.
AS the country was uninhabited and
deemed valueless, the photographers
did not think it worth while to make
survey of the marsh and give petty
III millCh III Oho Who
ed. Therefore they made the entire
section in dispute dry land in their
maps.
Much testimony was heard from
fisherman, yachtsmen, and others who
had visited the country at different
times in 25 years. They told of mar
velous changes, some in a single
night, of islands that had appeared
and disappeared, and land that was a
point one day and bayou the fol-
lowing day. One witness, a leading
merchant, of New Orleans, who
cruised through this section in 1897,
visited it again this year. Although
there had been no storm during this
period, he had found the face of the
country 80 changed as to be scarcely
recognizable. Round island, which he
visited on his first trip, had disap-
peared, although still shown on all
maps. There is a lighthouse still
shown, but this has not been in ex-
istence for years, the island washing
away piece by piece.

Scrubs Eat Their Heads OF.

That scrub animals will waste large
amounts of feedstuffs, was shown in
feeding test conducted at the Ten
ressee station. A bunch of animals of
good breed and antecedents were fed
Tor beef and gained two and a half
pounds per day, while so-called
scrubs" under the same conditions
gained only one and half pounds, a
difference of one pound per day. The
effect of breeding. blood and conforma-
lion is instanced in another feeding test
where certain beef steers gained only
as pounds in 90 days, while others un-
der similar conditions gained 125
pounds in the same period. This goes
to show that it does not pay to feed q
poor animal. Weed out the scrubs. y

Organ Recitals Daily.

Five regular recitals are now given
each day upon the large mechanical
organ in the splendid French section
of the Palace of Liberal Arts at the
Worlds Fair. The recitals begin at
1890 and 1880 o'clock a. m. and at
2:S0, $3.50 and five p. m, and con,
sist of selections from well-known
operas and other classical and popu-
lar music. The space about the organ
is always filed with people. In addi-
tion to being a very perfect instru-
ment from a musical standpoint. 1t is

PUT OUT A FIRE WITH EGGS.
Lamp Starts Blaze, But the Impro-
vlsed Extinguishers Save the Day.

The name of John Snedecor, of Bay
Shore, l.. l., will go down to posterity
as the discoverer of an egg fire extin-
guisher. He left his three little chill
dren in the dining room while he went
to the grocery before supper. There
was big lamp on the table.
When Snedecor got home the lamp
lay on the floor in the midst of pool
of blazing oil. Huddled against the
wall at the back of the room, unable
to get past the blaze, were the three
children.
In paper bag Snedecor was carry
ing dozen and half of eggs he had
just bought. Three at time he hurled
them on the floor along the edge of
the flame, meantime yelling for other
members of the family to souse a
blanket in pail of water and bring it
to him quickly.
The albumen, phosphates, nitrates
and water in the bursting eggs seemed
to retard the flames. They were al
most egged out when the wet blanket
arrived, and Snedecor soon quenched
the last of the blaze.

American Prunes for Europe.

Another article which has recently
begun to figure conspicuously in our
list of exports is the common and de-
Bpised prune. The fact that prunes and
dried apples are going to Europe does
not necessarily mean that American
boarding houses are being improved,
though possibly there IS something of
that sort on foot, too. In the case of
the prunes it means that American
production (almost exclusively on the
Pacific slope) has grown enormously
and that the methods of drying and
handling the product have been SC
much improv ed that now the prunes
IAN be shipped even to France and Ger
many to compete at home with our
original source OF supply.

Pygmies Discard Tents for Huts

The Pygmies from Africa at the
Worlds Fair became tired of living
in the tent provided for them and have
built themselves small huts of sap
lings, covered with grass and rushes.
In order to give the huts the proper
dimensions, novel system of meas
urement was employed. The corner
poles were stuck in the ground and
the architect then lay down on his
stomach, stretching out both arms to

Features in Food and DRINK

Che Worlds Fair is full of new
things. new features and interesting
experiments in the way of food and
drink. Prominent among the new bev,
erages introduced at the Exposition
are banana coffee and prune coffee
At one of the California county ex.
hibits in the Palace of Agriculture the
prune coffee is furnished by the
county, to teach the public the value of
this experiment as pleasant beverage.
The banana coffee is served in the
same building, but at a different ex-
hibit, the purpose being TO show the
wonderful food value of the. banana.

80 HERE are some people who
EA still assert that the United
WA ~ States obtained nothing,
Ny4EH through the annexation of
e=SssSSsszsz the Philippines, but a lot of
naked savages. In spite Of

Fair, which shows, in addition to the
four wild tribes, the refined Visayans
with their beautiful fabrics and
their delicate embrcideries. the loyal
brown soldiers of Uncle Sam and
the cultured commissioners and Off
cials, there are some purblind indi-
viduals who refuse to see that the Fill
pino is anything but a nuisance and
menace to our country.
That he could be capable of civiliza-
tion and uplifting seems utterly ridic.
ulous to-those who have studied him?
No, to the class who dare not visit
the Philippine reservation at the
Worlds Fair for fear of being con.
vinced against their will. That a
great many OF the natives of the is.
lands could already be cultured and
refined would be set down as utterly
preposterous by this class.
The soreheads need not be bound
and carried by violence across the fac
smile Bridge of Spain, through the
Walled City to the heart of the most

members of the civil police force wear
the khaki. 1t is these little men in
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as a nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result of Admiral
Dewey's spectacular victory.
The members of the Constabulary
band were all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them in hand. Each one was an artist
in his own line, and all of them had
seen service in the military bands Of
the Spanish regime However, there
was tremendous task for the band
master. The men possessed execution
without idea. They could read notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that is only small part
Of concerted playing.
Naturally quick to catch new ideas,
they soon grasped the meaning of the
attack" on which the effect of a
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and it is in
this that their playing is so marvellous.
In the tender, sympathetic passages of
q selection tAe tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which it
rises, without a crash and without a
blare, sweeping maiestically upward
and onward, until the enraptured
listener is engulfed in mighty bill
low of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst of melody in
such a climax as that which occurs in
the seXtstte of Lucia, and no band ever
handled it's climaxes better.
In the most powerful tone, there is
not the slightest suggestion of brassi-
ness. 1t is all liquid music. This is
due almest wholly to the Instruments
ton, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead of the large num-
Der of saxaphones, the Instruments
ton includes four sarrusaphones and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari-
nets are not used merely for accom-
/ paniment, but actually carry the sec
ond voice.
The music produced is not simply
that of a brass band, but is varied for
effect to resemble strings, human
voices and even the pipe organ
Among the players there are several
excellent violinists, and the personnel
of the band is sometimes rearranged
into an orchestra of 10 men and also
into a guitar glee club.
The leader, Lieut.. Loving, IS ma
tive of st. Paul. and graduate of the
New England conservatory of music
To his genius and devotion much OF
the success of the Constabulary band
is due.
Would that every American citizer
might listen to one of his matchless
programmes, drink in all the harmony
and all the splendor of the best bant
in the United States, yes, and stay tc
the close. The close is the most i'm
pressive part of the concert. No one
} could listen to the playing of "ThC
Star Spangled Banner" by that bant
OF Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other Fillpinos, their hats ovel
; their hearts and their heads bowed, anC
J doubt that they are Loyalty American.
