Mrs. Hen to lay eggs it may be said
that she eats insectivora SO largely in
the summer as to suffer severely the

in order to live she has to eat corn

simply converts herself into a grease

Rounding Up wiId Rurros.

Recovered Money Ate By Goat.

Probably one Of the oldest claims
ever made on a ank is recorded as
having been made against the Nation
al Bank of Belgium An old peasant
woman had laid on the grass a jacket
containing bank notes Of small de-
nomination for $240 in the pocket, and
while she was at work her pet goat
had got at the notes and eaten them.
The animal was killed, and the chewed
paper recovered from the stomach was
submitted in support OF claim for
compensation, which the bank paid
after verifying the facts by chemical
analysis and other inquiry.

Neville had asked to be called early,
and before daybreak he came into the
parlor ready for his journey. Some
broiled beef, manchet of white bread
and a black jar of spiced ale. stirred
with a rosemary branch, was waiting
for him; and Mrs. Swaffham and Jane
sat at his side while he eat and
drank.
Soon Neville's horse came clotter-
ing to the door. He clasped James
hand as 1t hung by her side, and they
walked thus to the threshold. Snow
was falling; the steps were white
with II, and the east wind blew it
gently In their faces. Mrs. Swaffham
laughed and drew her shawl over her
head, and Neville laughed also. and
with a cheerful word, leaped to his
saddle, his dark figure growing more
and more phantom-like through the
dim dawn and the white veil of the
snow. At the gate he wheeled his
horse, and, saluting them, vanished
into the gray obscurity. which made
all things as If they were not.

THE POPULATION. or CHINA.
Little Doubt II Contains one-Third
Worlds Population.

Little Doubt It Contains one-ThIrd
Worlds Population.
Some doubt has been thrown by re.
cent travellers upon the correctness
Of the accepted notion that China is
a land Of teeming population. 1t has
been asserted that the human hives
alorg the seaboard and the great riv-
ers of China ought not to be taken as
a basis for estimates; that in those
parts Of the empire which lie of the
main routes of traffic (the natural and
artificial vater courses,) the popula:
tion OF China is comparatively thin.
A census recently taken by the Peldng
government for the purpose of assess
ments seems. however. to prove the
accuracy of the older estimates. The
census shows that the eighteen prov
inces of China proper contain 4O7,-
737S05 inhabitants; that Manchuria
has S500,C00, and Mongolia, Thibet
and Chinese TrrScstan a little over
10000 600. The total population OF
the empire is 426,447 1925, according
to this enumeration. The absolute

accepted estimates is so cicse as TO

Precious Manuscript Lono Hiddan

A precious manuscript OF Titus
Livius, the Roman historian. was dis.
covered recently in the royal library
at Bamberg, Germany. The ancient
binding of a manuscript attracted the
attention of the librarian. who, upon
examination, found that each page OF
the book was made up of two leaves
OF sheepskin glued to each other.
Careful work in separating the sheets
rewarded the librarian with the dis
coyery of the complete work of the
famous writer, which had long been
believed lost.

Sheep Raising in Montana.

Montana Is the banner sheep state

owned within her border. The num-
Der Of sheep have increased rapidly
In the past ten years, due to the ex-
cellent grass on the range and the sub
stantial profit in the business. From
observation and information gathered,
the limit Of increase, as far as the
range is concerned. is very nearly
reached. Thus a much larger number
Of the increase of the hocks will have
to be marketed yearly.
This condition will probably call for
some change Of method in the han.
ding and management Of the range

also means the establishment OF large
and profitable feeding operations in
the state. Because of the excellent

mate in the range fiocks. The market.
however, demands a mutton type.
It is believed that both these de-
mands may be met by the range herd

the feeding demand, the range Hocks
should be largely eve flock. strong.
vigorous ewes, of the type that would
result from using Ramboullet or.
Delaine ram. All ewes added to the
flock should be of this style and breed
ing. Such flock of ewes bred to a
good, pure-bred mutton type of ram,
would give an excellent feeding lamb
The plan of breeding outlined may not
be wholly feasible to the small range
holder, but would be entirely SO for
the larger holder. 1t may even be
profitable to produce the kind of eve

Protein and Carbohydrate Feed.
The farmer is called upon TO pur-
chase his feed according to the ele.
ments it contains. Lack of knowledge
will result In man that is feeding
stock paying out much more money
for feed than Is necessary. This is
done in the feeding of an over-balance
on either the protein or the cvrbohy-
drate side. The only economical food
Is that which is balanced or nearly so.
Locality also cuts a good deal of a
figure in solving the composition OF
feed problem Thus in the middle
west, in the corn belt, there is natur
ally a great superabundanc Of car.
bohydrate material, available at low
price. Further west in the regions
where alfalfa is growing in large
areas and on the Pacific slope it is diff
ferent. The problem there is to bal
ance the protein with carbohydrate.
The protein contents of some of our
leading kinds Of feed on the market
are about as follows: Cottonseed
meal, As; linseeG meal new process),
81; linseed meal (old process), 80;
giuten meal, "a; gluten feed. rs; oat
feeds (good grades), 13; OF. feeds
(poor grades), 8. 1t will thus be seen
that the name does not tell every
thing, as, in the case Of oat feeds, one
kind is worth twice as much as an.
other
This applies to the regions where
corn and such feed is very abundant.
In other regions the carbohydrate val,
ues would have to be taken into con.
sideration.
