Fncts About Coffee.

Coffee originally came from the is
land of Mocha, when in the year 1916
coffee trees were transported to Hol-
land. This article Of diet was first
scientifically cultivated at Surinam by
the Dutch in 171S. Though coffee was
not known either to. the Greeks or Ro-
mans, it was used as a beverage by the
Persians in early times. The first cof-
fee house of which there is, any record
was opened in Constantinople in 1911,
and coffee was first brought to France
in 1862 by Thevenct, the famous tray
eler.

Special German Census.

According to a report from Consul
Fl. w. Harris, at Mannheim, an imper-
tant census was taken on June II, this
year, in Germany concerning especially
all matters relating to the vocations OF
the population, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The consul says: -..
THE data is expected to prove much
more comprehensive than any other
similar data heretofore collected in the
empire and will, when arranged and
tabulated, fill, it is said, some twenty
five large volumes. This census is de-
signed to show the number of people Of
both sexes, whether married or single,
in the various industries. It will show
the number of minors engaged in diff
ferent employments, the number of
those engaged at hand work or with
Emachinery, or both. and the extent to
which home labor enters into manufac-
turing and trade. Careful inquiry into
all branches of agriculture, commerce,
forestry and stock raising, with spe-
clal reference in the latter as to the
question Of meat and other food sup
plies, will show what amount of lane
is worked by the wnc and what by
renters. The crops raised will also lie
q subject of inquiry, as will the rela-
tons of these crops to the German su-
gar, brewing, milling and other indus
tries. The employment of the pepula-
ton in wholesale n retail trade, as
well as in foreign commerce, will form
a branch of the proposed census, as
will matters pertaining to the invalid
and other insurance systems conduct
led by the state or otherwise"

The sunfiower, though 1t originated
in this country In the region Of the
great plains, is not used SO extensively
here as in some other countries, not
ably Russia. It is a long time since
the plant first delighted the eyes of
Europeans, being then cultivated In the
gardens Of Madrid. The early Spanish
explorers had found it In this country
and taken it home with them.
The plant was utilized by the Ameri-
can Indians long before the days Of
Columbus. Whom Champlain visited
the Georgian Bay in 1915 he found the
natives growing 1t and using the oil for
their hair. 1t was raised chiefly, how
ever, for the food afforded by the seeds.
In Russia at the present day the
seeds are eaten in immense quantities,
America, and the Oil obtained by press
ing the seeds Is an important article
Of diet. The frequent religious fast
days in that country restrict the use of
meat and lead to a large consumption
Of vegetable oil. The manufacture of
sunflower oil hag consequently grown
to considerable dimensions. The best
seeds yield an oil that compares IA.
yorably with olive oil for table pur.
poses.
Even the upper classes in Russia eat
the seeds, the larger and finer ones be-
ing quite equal to most nuts in respect
Of palatability and wholesomeness,
The stalks and dried leaves are highly
priced for fuel, being In some parts OF
the empire almost the only available
substitute for wood. An acre of sun
flowers will yield many cords Of good
fuel.
The oil appears to have more of this
general properties OF olive oil than has
any other known vegetable oil. II
takes about a bushcl of seeds to make
a gallon Of oil, and fifty bushels OF
seeds can be grown on n acre of land.
AS the oil sells at 81 a gallon, the profit
is large.
OF late years purified sunfiower oil
has been used extensively to adulterate
olive oil. 1t is OF a pale yellowish
color and decidedly palatable. In q
crude state 1t is used by painters to
some extent, but 1t is inferior to lin
seed oil for use In paint
In addition to the oil from the seeds,
the stalks, when green, and the oil
cake make excellent fodder. The fiber
Of the stalks, which Is fine, silky and
very strong, also has a value, In
China it is woven into beautiful
fabrics, and 1t is believed that, by use
OF proper machinery, It might be It'll
lied most probably In this country.

Tree-Growfpg Bounty.

There Is a law on the statute books
of Pennsylvania which ought to have a
wide circulation. 1t Is An Act ror the
Encouragement of Forestry"
Tie law takes the best means posi-
BILE to encourage owners of land to pre-
serve and propagate timber-trees, TOT
it allows q reduction Of taxes to the
owner of forest land which comes up
to certain requirements Of the act.
The first man to take advantage OF
the new law is an Allegheny county
farmer, Mr.. Tenner, of Leet township.
AS told by the Pittsburg Chronicle-Tel-
egraph, Mr.. Tenner lar obtained from
the county commissioners a reduction
Of $22.50 on his taxes for complying
with the provisions Of the law.
1t Is rather remarkable that the Sec
ond county in that State in point OF
population should be the first to pay
a bounty for forest preservation under
the new law, but such is the case. The
land owner who preserves his woods
not only gets this immediate reward
but the increasing value Of the trees
will make a further and larger profit
for him eventually.

D~frestion of Foods in Feeding.

Digestion Of Foods In Feeding.
A series of tests is reported by Storrs
Station, Connecticut, in which corn
meal and mixed hay In turn were fed
as a maintenance ration to two dry,
farrow cows. The results OF tests
with mich cows, pigs and calves are
also quoted and discussed for pur-
poses of comparison.
On an average 6.25 pounds OF corn
meal containing As pounds digestlhle
nutrients was required for mainte-
nance by the farrow cows as compared
with 1915 pounds of hay containing
II pounds of digestible nutrients
that Is, on an average 81 per cent
more dlgestible nutrients was required
for maintenance when derived from
hay than from corn meal. LESS d.
gestible nutrients from corn meal,
therefore, were required for mainte-
nance than from hay, because less en-
ergy of the feed was used in the work
of digestion and assimilation" "An
increase in the proportion OF grain to
roughage in a ration for mich cows
lin tests which were quoted) tends to
facilitate digestion, and is followed by
increased production"
A similar explanation will account
for the more rapid gain in the case OF
pigs and calves fed the more easily d.
gestible ~rations In the tests summar-
lied. In general, according to the au-
thor, "the value Of a feed depends
upon It's composition, digestibility and
ease or facility Of digestion. The first
first two factors are considered In the
formulation Of rations. The third fac
tor has only recently been recognized,
and little definite knowledge in regard
1t Is at hand. In a general way 1t
Is recognized that milk is more easily
digested than meal, concentrates than
roughage, early than late cut hay, ST.
lage than corn storer, oat than rye
straw. A pound Of digestible matter,
therefore, should be more valuable
In the former than in the latter"
