THE FIRST COMPASS.
Was Known to Sailors Before the
Twelfth OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Adjunct to Navigation.

Some Asian people, perhaps the chi
nese, discovered, many centuries ago,
that kind of iron ore possessed very
peculiar quality. We call this ore
magnetic ore, in more common Ian
guage, lodestone, and it is very widely
distributed, especially in the older
crystalline rocks. 1t was fcund that
If a bit of lodestone were placed In
water upon a piece of cork or straw
braid 1t would turn till the axis OF the
stone assumed north and south posi-
ton. A phenomenon of magnetism had
been discovered by means of an ore
that is peculiarly susceptible to mag
netic influence.
1t is an open question whether the
Chinese utilized the directive power OF
the lodestone, but it is certain that the
first rude compass was not used on
European vessels before the twelfth
century of our era By that time the
true magnetic compass had been
evolved through the discovery that ii
an iron or steel needle were stroked
on lodestone it would receive the at
tractive and directive power of this
ore. With this wonderful appliance
placed at the service of navigation, the
vessels that had Rugged the coasts soon
dared to venture even out of sight of
land. A new impetus was gradually
given to cartography, for now the true
directions of the coast lines might be
charted with some approach to accu-
racy. 1t was the hapy fortune of ltal-
Ian sailors to make the surprisingly ex-
eellent surveys of the directions and
lengths of the Black sea and Mediter-
ranean coasts and along the Atlantic
to Britishwaters that have come down
to us in the so-called Portulan maps

A physician says: Until last fall
l used to eat meat for my breakfast
and suffered with indigestion until
the meat had passed from the stom-
ach.
Last fall began the use of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon

my body got all the nourishment
necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and
since then / have not had any indi-
gestion and am feeling better and
have increased in weight.
"Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts l have prescribed
the food for all of my patients suffer-
ing from indigestion or overlooking
and also for those recovering from
disease where | want aNfood easy to
take and certain to digest and which
will not overtax the stomach.

MENT.
meadow has been pastured consider
ably, but with so much care that it has
steadily improved. The orchard, also,
of 11a acres, is in clover.
The northwest field, a, is to be in
corn this summer. The whole upper
half of the farm furnished rye pasture
all winter, and to May, when the fat
tening hogs were restricted to the barn
lot and soil-fed with fresh alfalfa and
clover. With the advent of spring the
slop feed of the fall pigs is gradually
changed to whole grain, and during the
grain gives way to corn aloQsx All of
the swine have access to 6ai. salt,
ashes and charcoal.
Toward the latter part of the winter,
the brood sows were separated from
the younger hogs and confined to the
lane. When the ground was not soft
they were allowed to run by them
selves in one of the fields. 1t is all
ways planned that the spring pigs shall
come between March Is and May 1.
Until the pigs are weaned the brood
sows are kept in the grassy lane and
allowed to use the pens which are
floored. During this time they are
supplied once day with all the green
alfalfa and clover they will eat, provid-
ed with an abundance of water to
drink and stopped heavily morning and
evning. Oats and corn, with a little
bean meal, are used for the slop, which
Is never cooked, but is made with
warm water on chilly days.
When the pigs are old enough to
begin eating they are fed skim milk in
a trough by themselves. Water and
ground feed are added whenever the
milk is insufficient
During April, May and June small
opening in the fence will give the
spring pigs chance at the meadow,
providing them with pasture, adding
fertility to the field, and not materially
tightening the hay crop. BY the middle
of June the youngest litter will have
been weaned. AS each sow is taken
from ner pigs she is removed to the
orchard.
The boar receives less corn than the
sows, but otherwise is fed about the
same. Most of the time he is kept by
himself and usually with more than
one fence between him and The other
breeding stock. The lane is his run
way sevral months in the year. At
other times he occupies the orchard,
eats blue grass in the COW pasture. or
occasionally has TO be confined to his
pen for short periods.
Before hot weather the fauening
hogs go to market, and after the barn
lot has had rest and the cleansing of
several rains, the shotes are transferred
20 it. Ten acres in the northeast cor
ner of the farm are to be used this
season for number Of different soil
Ing crops. A variety of green stuff will
be cut daily and fed in racks.
During July and part of August the
shotes will be confined to the barn lot,
but for time in the latter month, they
will be allowed to pasture on peas and
beans in the corn field. They will en-
JOY this freedom as long as they do not
modest the corn. After that they will
spend several weeks in the barn lot
again, with some opportunity of CLEAN
ing in the field of soiling crops.
During the hot weather The swine of
all ages have an abundance of shade.
