The First Photography.

1t was in 1912 that John Draper,
then a professor in the University of
New York, made the first portrait pho
tograph The subject was Elizabeth
Draper, his sister Professor Draper
had the idea that in order to produce
distinct facial outlines in photography
it would be necessary to cover the
countenance of the person photograph
ed with -four. This seems a strange
notion now, and 1t proved not to be
good one then, for all of Professor
Diapers early attempts were failures.
Finally he left off the flour and then
was quite successful. This so delight
ed him that he sent the picture to Sir
William Herschel, the eminent English
astronomer. Sir William was in turn
delighted and made known Professor
Diapers success to the scientific men
of Europe. He also sent Professor
Draper letter of acknowledgment
and congratulation, which has been
carefully preserved In the archives Of
the Draper family.

Onion Soup and Fame.

Membership in the French academy,
the hoped for reward of Gallo writer's
was once closely associated with onion
soup. During the restoration In France
o club was formed under the title of
"Diner de In Soupe a rOnion." This or
ganization contained twenty members

dinner was opened with an onion soup
The club was to endure until every as.
sociate was elected to the academy.
This was accomplished in 1915, when
the last banquet was held.

GOOd Feeders.

Scotch farmers are not only good live
stock feeders, but they are also good
feeders of the soil, and they believe
that the most effective and economical
method of feeding the soil is through
the medium of live stock. In all cattle
feeding operations, especially on the
arabic farms. the feeder considers both
the direct profits of feeding and the
value of the manure. which is all saved
and applied to the soil
There is certainly something of ex-
qulsite kindness and thoughtful be-
nevolence In that rarest Of gifts. fine

POULTRY TESTS.

Until quite recently 1t has been left
to individual initiative and enterprise
to attend to the scientific development
of the poultry industry of the country
and tabulate the results obtained with
different breeds and under various con.
ditions Of care and feeding. Within
the present year, however, the animal
husbsndry section of the department Of
agriculture has undertaken series Of
experiments to determine the relative
value Of different methods of feeding,
while the Iowa station has added a
regular poultry department in which
the egg producing capacity OF different
breeds will be given a careful test I'M
der the same conditions of care and
feed The aim in brief ia to do for the
poultry interests of the country and
state what the station seeks to accom-
plish for the swine, sheep and cattle
interests through these respective de-
partments. The results obtained In
these poultry tests will be reliable and
impartial, inasmuch as they will not be
conducted with view to feathering
the nests of the raisers of this or that
particular breed.
