TOO HIGH TO CLIMB.
Famous Mountain Ascender Says Mt.
Everest Is ImpIegnahle.

DR.. w. ii Workman of Massac hu-
ascent, thinks it is doubtful if the top
of Mount Everest. the highest summit
in the world, ever will be reached DR..
Workman on August Il, 1908, reached
the height of 23,394 feet on the side of
Pyramid peak among the karakoram
mountains of the Himalayas. As the
pea kis "a 800 feet high, DIR. Workman
climbed within about 1900 feet of the
top. DIR. Workman said on the eve of
his return to Europe:
Some optimists look to see the high
est peak on earth conquered in the near
future. l do not feel sanguine about
it. Practically nothing is known Of
Mount Everest, for no white man ever
of nearest approach to it in height
tances. The technical difficulties they
present appear to me to be great.
IF | could have placed camp on
Pyramid peak at p 600 to % 600 feet,
there is little doubt that ! should have
reached the top the next day, but
could not induce the coolies even by of
fers of twelve times the usual wages TO
carry the camp to that altitude. When.
with my two white assistants. | had
reached the height of 23,394 feet, we did
not for n moment entertain the idea of
attempting to reach the summit and we
could not have regained the camp that
night. 4 night in the open III that alti-
tude would have meant certain death
from cold, TO say nothing of the danger
of futigue"

Stacking NlfuIfu,

Throughout the western half of the
United States alfalfa hay is commonly
stored In stacks in the field. Alfalfa
stacks will not shed water as readily
as stacks Of grass hay. In the arid re-
gions there is little danger from rains
during the season of storage, but in
humid climates 1t IS necessary to store
the hay IN barns or else cover the
stacks with large tarpaulins, or they
may be topped with grass. Otherwise
the percentage Of waste is very large,
In any case there is likely to be some
waste, for which reason the stacks are
made large, thus reducing the proper
Tomato amount of waste. In the al
falfa regions of the West the stacks
are as high as the hay can be handled
easily and may be 200 feet or more in
length. The size of the stacks is then
limited chiefly by the convenience In
bringing the hay from the surround
ing field.

BROKEN LEG WINS BRIDE.
Romance Springs from Accident and Good
Nursing by Sweetheart.

Richard HunSler. formerly of Cincin-
natl, now rejoices that he had what he
once considered was the misfortune of
breaking his leg twice within eight
months. AS a result he recently married
Miss Rose Goetzingcr, the organist of
All Saints Catholic church at Chi
cago. The romance began in March,
when Miss Goetzinger, daughter of
a Chicago coal dealer, was on her
way to visit friends. She was crossing
the railroad tracks at Twenty second
street when she heard a cry. Attracted
by it, she looked down the tracks and
saw man lying on the ground. On run
ming up to him she discovered that he
had broken his leg while jumping from a
moving train. Miss Goetzingcr tele-
phoned for an ambulance. When
Hunger finally left the hospital she in
duced her father TO give him employ
ment in his coal yard. Hunger went to
work driving wagon. He saw little Of
Miss Goetzinger until he had what ap-
pears to him the good luck to break his
leg again. This time instead of being
sent TO the hospital Hungler was taken
to the Goetzinger home. There he was
nursed by Miss Goetzinger.

Rare Bird in Northern Waters.

The first specimen of the fulvous tree

The creature is much like the Ameri
can wood duck, recognized as one of the
most beautiful of birds. In color it il
light brown on the breast and n beautiful
notified brown on the back. In shape
it is much the same as the American
wood duck, but is considerably more

The bird is believed to have been

Feed Horses Less when Idle.
In an eXchage Andrew Stenson sen
sibly says: The horse not only requires
less feed when idle than when at work.
but is actually injured if the ration IS
not reduced on days OF idlcness. Some
feeders Of high standing reduce the
feed of their work horses on Sundays
and holidays, in the belief that even
one days feeding OF a working ration
while the horse is at rest is injurious.
1t Is now the belief of all who have
thoroughly studied the subject that
idle horses are fed too heavily as "A
rule. But no fixed ration can be
named, since the food requirements Of
individual horses differ SO widely.

A Good Stable Neutilator.

The idea some men have Of ventilat.
Ing stables Is to throw open window
directly back Of an animal and let the
wind blow In; other men open a win
dow about an inch and keep it open
ten minutes Neither plan is ventila-
ton. Animals stabbed in warm build
ings catch cold readily, so that hav-
ing made the stable comfortable for
the animals, the next thing to do Is to
provide for a supply Of air, but in such
manner that it will not blow over the
animals. If one has box stalls for the
horses a window at some distance
from them will supply needed ventila-
ton. If the stalls are not so arranged
then some opening should be made in
the barn if necessary 50 that the air
may enter readily yet not blow direct
ly on the animals. If there is no other
way of getting ventilation than
animals then put an attachment to
each window to shed the air; board
eight or ten inches wide nailed on 4
slant over the opening that is made
will reflect the wind, so to speak. and
1t will not strike the animals directly
Surely man Of bright wits will find
some way Of giving his animals VENT
lation without injury 10 them if the
way suggested does not suit him.
