ESPIONAGE IN JAPAN.

DR.. Baelz, who was a professor in
the medical department of the To-
kyo university for a quarter of a
century and who is now back in
Stuttgart, gives an instance of the
espionage which prevails in Japan.
One of his best friends in Tokyo
was the Russian ambassador, who
one day summoned him to his
house, as he was i'll. DR.. Baelz re-
manned with him two hours A few
days later war was declared. From
that moment the mikado and his
courtiers treated him with icy po-
likeness in place of the former cor
diality. He finally succeeded in dis
covering the cause. A local journal
had denounced him as a spy. He
went straight to court and explain
ed the matter. The mikadO, con-
WINGED of his innocence, promptly
begged his pardon and summoned
the editor Of the journal referred
to, who also had to apologize to the
professor.

A Bamboo Experiment.

The department of agriculture is
about to institute an interesting ex-
pertinent in bamboo growing in the
United States. The bureau of plant
industry in the department has is
sued a bulletin on the possibilities
of growing certain varieties of that
most useful plant in this country.
That it is by no means impossible
has been demonstrated in Califor-
MIA, where a small grove has been
successful, and by the numbers of
plants which flourish in private gar
dens. If bamboo forests are plant
ed here we shall not only have a
new source of wealth, but a new ia
Bile luxury as well. The young shoots
of the bamboo are considered great
delicacies in China and Japan. They
are preserved in several ways and
it is said are also eaten as a vegeta-

To produce the full development OF

this purpose. and its cooling and laxa-

TwO-thirds of the weight of the dry
material of bone is mineral matter
and One-third of the weight is album
inOus matter The more solid the
bone, the richer it is i'm mineral mat
ter These facts explain why both
protein and mineral matter must be
furnished bOuntifully by the feed if
great bone development if produced.
Prof w. 4. Henry of Wisconsin
has made the greatest number of eX-
periments in this line. A description
of a single experiment of his will show
the effect of protein and mineral mat
ter in feed in developing bone. Pro
fessOr Henry fed one lot of pigs a
ration of milk. middlings and dried
blood IA ration rich in both protein and
mineral matter Another lot was fed
corn, a feed deficient in protein and
mineral matter. The pigs fed the ra-
ton rich in protein and mineral mat
ter made nearly One-fifth more gain
than those fed corn. and their bones
were :}2 per cent stronger.
In trials made with pigs at the eX-
pertinent stations of Wisconsin. Kan
sas. Missouri and Alabama, an abund-
ance of protein and mineral matter in
the feed not only increased the
strength of the bones. but also increas-
ed the development of all the vital Or
gans and of the muscles. making a
greater proportion of lean meat i'm
the carcaSSeS.
When Professor Henry first publish
ed the results of his experiments. some
authorities claimed that the protein i'm
the feed had nothing to do with the
increased strength i'm the bones and
the greater development of muscles.
but that it was produced by the large
amount of mineral matter found i'm
the mixture of milk. middlings and
dried blood. To test this, Professor
Henry fed one lot of pigs corn alone.
one lot corn and wood ashes and one
lot corn and bone meal None of the
lot made good gains. except for a
short time. but the pigs fed corn and
bone meal developed bones more than
twice as strong as those fed on corn
alone. and the bones of those fed on
cOrnmeal and wood ashes were ninety
three per cent stronger than those fed
on corn alone
Gluten meal is one of our richest
feeds in protein, and has all the good
qualities of linseed meal. EXCEPT that
1t contains little mineral matter One
winter the writer fed over 100 dairy
cows on ration made up chiefly of
corn enSilage and gluten meal. with
small quantity of other feeds thrown
III TO make an appetizing mixture The
ration was deficient i'm mineral mat
Ter. but furnished more than the re
pulred protein. and a heavy milk
yield was secured. After this ration
had been fed for a few months. the
cows began to short and this became
so bad that it was almost of daily oc-
currence- 1t was thought that the
trouble might be caused by a lack of
mineral matter in the feed. and we be
gan feeding finely ground bone daily
to the cows. In short time the
trouble stopped. Apparently the feeds
given did not furnish sufficient mineral
matter.
What have these facts to do with
alfalfa as bone producer? Simply
this: Accurate tests have been made
in regard to the influence of alfalfa
in developing bone. Wherever these
tests have been made with feeds rich
in both protein and mineral ma tier
it has been shown that such feeds
