Some Interesting information issued b.
A. and N. Experiment sistion.

The Texas agricultural expert
ment station has issued a bulletin
known as No. SO. entitled Cattle
Feeding Experiment which should
prove Of great interest to cattle
feeders.
The authors, John a. Craig and
+. r. Marshall, summarize the
work as follows:
/. In Our experiment the adj
dition OF molasses 10 a fattening
ration has always produced amin
creased gain.
2. Addition of malasses to a
ration Of cotton seed meal and
hulls lowered the cost OF gain.
4. When molasses was added
to balanced ration II gave larger
gains and improved the appearance
of the cattle but did not lower the
cost of gain.
4. There was no undesirable
result from feeding yearling steers
one gallon of m9asses each per
day, and there is good reason to
believe that larger amounts might
be used.
S. In Experiment the cheap
est gains in each month were made
by the lot receiving most nearly a
balanced ration.
&. Molasses returned from 3 to
so cents per gallon. The lower
value was obtained when molasses
was added to a ration already bal
anced, and when in the early part
of the feeding period an unbalanc'
ed ration was fed the higher value
was obtained.
7. When cotton hulls were used
as roughage, ton of rough rice
was equel to one.half ton of cot
ton seed meal.

,sOurH HOLDS RECORD.

Many scientists are viewing with
alarm the possibility of deteriora-
ton of soil, which some claim may
eventually threaten the world
food supply unless the experiments
to secure nitrogen from the air
should prove commercially Success
ful and thus make possible the con.
slant liberalization of the soil. Al.
ready the rich prairie states are
finding commercial fertilizer a ne.
cessity, and last year Ohio used
500, 900 tons. The south holds a
worlds monopoly on fertilizermak-
ing material, such as phosphate
rock, sulphur, etc. Europe draws
its phosphate rock mainl y
from this section, and Louisi-
ana now dominates the sui
phur market Of Europe and Ameri-
ca. Strong as the south is in coal
cotton and iron, it is equally as
strong in phosphate rock and sui
phur, and it cannot only enrich its
own soil, but supply the needs of
other sections and other countries.

Dogs as Policemen.
Kansas

A writer in the Century magazine
gives an interesting account of the use
of dogs as assistants to the police in
Belgian cities and in Paris. In the
latter city they have proved efficient
in rescuing from the Seine many vic
tins of accident and would-be suicides,
while in other lines of work connect
ed with the police department their
services are valuable. But it is in the
Belgian cities that the employment
Of dog police seer2s to have been
brought to its highest efficiency. In
the city of Client the training and
maintenance of dogs for police duty
has proved to be profitable invest
ment. A dog costs the city of Client
a little over five cents per day for
maintenance, and 80 dog police cost
3,2S5 francs per year. 1t is claimed
that 80 dogs do more than four times
the work that would be accomplished
by IL men, who would cost the NUM-
cipality $4,000 francs" The idea of

all right. One distinct and obvious
advantage of the system, not men
toned by the Century writer, would
be that they could go on the dog
watch" without difficulty or friction.
And in this connection the thought
occurs that it would be a good idea
for San Francisco to investigate the
dog police question. If that city needs
one thing more than another, it is an
efficient police force. The question of
reorganizing the force is now under
active discussion, and the time for the
experiment is opportune. There can
be no reasonable doubt that the add.
ton of few good dogs to the San
Francisco police force would add
greatly to its efficiency. Some per-
sons may think that the force would
be a dog-gone sight better If 1t were
composed entirely Of dogs, but we do
not go so far as that.

ONE ON EDWARD ATKINSON.
Tart Reply to His Cordial Greeting
of Old Friend.

The late Edward Atkinson used to
tell the following story at his own ex.
pense: In his boyhood he was one of
number of boys who used to play
pail on the Boston common. which
was then against the law. At regular
intervals old Erastus Clapp, the con-
stable, would bear down upon the tres
passers and put them to flight. The
boys used to have great fun with this
lather choleric old manifestations
Clapp the boys dubbed him.
One day after Mr.. Atkinson had
grown up into a prosperous and re-
spected business man, while passing
along a Boston street in company with
friend, he recognized in a bent and
wizened old man the likeness of his
old acquaintance, Constable Clapp.
Mr.. Atkinson Immediately addressed
the old fellow.
Don't you remember me, Mr..
Clapp?" he asked
Inc old man leaned on his stick
and surveyed Mr.. Atkinson coldly.
Nav. he finally answered, and start
ed to hobble on.
Why, I'm Eddie Atkinson. whom
you used to chase off the common
years ago
Clapp glared at him suspiciously.
and finally put an end to the inter-
view, much to the amusement of Mr..
Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply:

cause to run from me-,

Some years ago there lived in the
village of Vienna, Me-, a man by the
name of Phineas Jones, commonly

"Phin' had an unfortunate love for
something more fiery than soda water.
On one occasion he had driven to

He managed to get the harness on,

the stable boys, convulsed with laugh

Here, 'Ph1n,' hadn't you better turn
your horse round?"
"Phin," in no mood to brook inter

dignity, and, steadying himself against
the wagon-wheel, replied, solemnly:
Young man (hic), p'raps you don't
know (hic) which way I'm goin'!"

POSTAL DEFICIT REDUCED
The Department Came s4,ooo,ooo
Nearer Paying Expences Than
Was Done Last Year.

Washington, d. c. A reduction
of more than 100000 of 1888 per
cent in the deficit of the postoffice
department is shown in the annual re-
port of Edwin G. Madden, third as
sistant acknowledgement, which was
made public Thursday. The postal
revenue for the fiscal year of 1906
shows an increase of more than $15,-
100000 over 1905 the greatest increase
in one year in the history of the
service. Receipts from all sources
were $167,9S2,7S2 and expenditures
S17S,449,77S. The gross deficit, includ-
ing losses by burglary and fire and
through uncollected debts, amounted
to $10;542,941. During the year s24,-
OS5 was realized from letters for
which no owners could be found and
from unclaimed articles in the dead
letter division.
These recommendation are made by
Mr.. Madden:
That the rate of postage on letters
not exceeding one ounce deposited in
any postoffice for local delivery by
its carriers or otherwise shall be
uniform at one cent each; but if the
letter be forwarded to another postof-
flee the rate be two cents.
That the seven different rates of
postage for the second class and the
one rate for the third class be aban-
doned, and in their place there be
adopted uniform rate for all printed
matter of one cent for each four
ounces or fraction thereof to one adj
dress, which is four cents on an even
pound and that there be a provision
for the payment of postage on news
papers and periodicals in money as
at present and another for their eXpe-
ditions handling in the mails.
