Mr.. Jacobs says 1T will be seen that
green bone. rich in blood and adhering
meat, contains more protein, more fat
and 80 times as much mineral matter
as an egg-that is, pound for pound (oi
eggs and green bone). The bone not
only contains all the elements for pro-
ducing the egg, but has some to spare
for the maintenance of the fowl" This
is one of the few kinds of feed for hens
that contains full complement of the
necessary elements for making the en-.
tire egg and a surplus as well for sus.

sprouts will almost surely spring up
to trouble you and compel you in the
course of o few years to do the work

HOW TO CUT UP A BEEF.
Two Methods of Dividing Up the

EARTHQUAKE RECORDS
GOVERNMENT GEOLOGICAL SUR.
vEY COLLECTS HISTORY.
International Seismological Associa-
ton Invites Delegate from
America-The Appor-
tionment.

Prof. Harry Fielding Reid of Johns
Hopkins university, who is In charge
of earthquake records for the United
States geological survey, has sent out
circular letters through which he ex-
poets TO obtsin important scientific
data concerning the recent earthquake
in San Francisco.
1t may not be generally known that
few hundred dollars are devoted each
year by the survey to the collection of
records concerning earthquakes. No
very active archaeological investiga-
tions have ever been made by this
bureau, but small allotment is grant
ed Prof. Reid, which enables him to
correspond with observers all over the
country and procure data recorded on
seismographs at many different points.
Reports of his investigations are pub
lished, from tine to time, in the
Weather Review, the official organ of
the weather bureau
II is interesting to note that Prof.
Reid was appointed by the state de-
partment, as delegate from the United
States to the international seismologi-
cal conference leld In Strasburg, Ger
many. from July "a to 2S, 1903. Dele
gates were present by invitation of
the German government from 19 coun-
tries, and an interDational association
was then formed tor cooperative inves-
tigation of earthquake phenomena. The
constitution adopted provides for a
general assembly 10 meet at least once
in four years and permanent COM
mission, composed of one delegate from
each nation, which will direct the work
of the association. A central bureau is
LOCATED at Strasburg t. connection with
the imperial chronological station
there, and reports are forwarded to its
director and are published from time
to time.
The association was Joined by many
countries but the United States has
not yet signified Its intention of becom.
ing a member The permanent com.
mission or executive committee of the
association was organized In Berlin
last summer Prof Reid was present
at that meeting also. After his return
he recommended, as he did after his
return from the Strasburg conference
that the United States join the associ
alton.
The director of the geological sur
vey has recommended In letter Il
the secretary Of the interior, that thu
United States accept the invitation O
the German government to join th'
international seismo'ogical associa
tion, provided that congress shall SCI
ft to make the necessary appropria
tion. The total sum that congress 4
called on to appropriate annually 1
81 300. which includes $500. the fee tina
the United States would be requires
to contribute to the association ant
$500 for the expenses of the delegate.
II is not likely that delegate fror
the United States will ever have any
thing more important or more disas
trous to report than the records Q

metropolis of the Pacific coast.

The Best Pig Food.

Fed IN conjunction with corn or
shorts skim milk is the vesy best pig
feed. II. r. 0urier found, as far back
as 1878 that skim milk paid "a cents per
bushel for corn. This increase with the
price OF corn until 1877 made him 40
cents per bushel. The Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station still later found that
with corn at IS cents per bushel, shorts
at II cents per 100 pounds, pork was
made at a cost OF four cents per pound
by using skim milk, and this was later
reduced TO three and one-quarter cents.
For young animals skim milk is ex-
ceedingly valuable, as II builds up bone
and muscle.
