BRET HARTE'S GRAY HAIR.

Once, indeed, on my remarking the

he never mounted the stage, so he de-
clared, without some apprehension of

port, and a tumble from the seat; and,
although he nerved himself to his new
duties as best as he could, they grew
more uncongenial with every repeti-
ton. Then 1t was he had noticed that

Special German Censu..

According to report from Consul
Fl. W. Harris, at Mannheim, an impor.
tant census was taken on June IL, this
gear, ia Germany concerning especially
all matters relating to the vacations 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
tabulateC, I'LL, 1t 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. 1t will show
the number of minors engaged in diff
ferent employments, the number of
those engaged at hand work or with
machinery, or both. and the extent tc
which home labor enters into manufac-
turing and trade. Careful inquiry into
all branches Of agriculture, commerce,
forestry and stock raising, with spe-
cial reference in the latter as to the
question of meat and other food sup
plies, will show what amount of land
Is worked by the owners and what by
renters. The crops raised will also be
a subject of inquiry, as will the rela-
tons Of these crops to the German SUI
gar, brewing, milling and other indus
tries. The employment Of the popula-
ton in wholesale and retail trade, as
well IS in foreign commerce, will form
a branch of the proposed census, as

vaioe of sunnower.

The sunfower, though il originated
in this country in the region Of the
great plains, is not used so extensively
here a., in some other countries, not
ably Russia. 1t 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. When Champlain visited
the Georgian Bay in 1915 he found the
natives growing it 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,
raw or roasted, as peanuts are in
ing the seeds is an important article
of diet. The frequent religious fast
& q In that country restrict the use of
meat and lead 20 large consumption
-
sunfower oil has consequently grown
to considerable dimensions. The beet
seeds yield an oil that compares ia
vorably with olive oil for table pur
poses.
Even the upper classes In Russia ca.
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 the
any other known vegetable oil. II
takes about a bushel of seeds to make
gallon of oil, and fifty bushels of
seeds can be grown on one acre of land
is large.
OF late years purified sunfiower oil
has been used extensively to adulterat,
olive oil. 1t is of a pale yellowisl
color and decidedly palatable. In a
crude state 1t Is used by painters to
some extent, but it 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 value. In
China II is woven into beautiful
fabrics, and it is believed that, by use
Of proper machinery, 1t might be util-
lied most probably In this country.

considered more laborious to mix all
the feeding materials together, for the
reason that if the ground grain is to be
mixed with the hay and fodder the
latter must be passed through the cut
ter and reduced to fine condition. OF
course. there are objections to so doing,
yet the cutting of the food into short
lengths will effect a saving that would
more than offset the cost of labor, as
the stock would eat more and cost less.
But there is a gain in feeding ground
grain with cut hay or fodder in an
other manner. When the grain Is
mixed with the coarse material 1T Is
more easily digested, as it is divided
and carried into the stomach in a con-
dition which permits of the gradual ac-
ton of the digestive organs. The long
provender. also being in a fine state,
a great proportion Of nutrition is there
by extracted and the system of treat
ing the whole together will prove
economical.

How to Make n Furniture Polish.
To make a furniture polish use one
ounce of brown beeswax. one-hali
ounce Of white wax, one-half ounce OF
CASTLE soap, one-half pint of turpentine
and one-half pint of water. Shred the
brown and white wax into a jar Ga
two pound jam jar will do, add the
turpentine and let it stand on the stove
until dissolved. Shred the soap and
let it boil in the water until quite dis
solved Allow to cool, then pour into
the jar and stir all the ingredients to
gether. When cold, it will be thick
cream and must be kept air tight. Fol-
old furniture this produces a deep
glowing polish quite different from any
other, and it does not finger mark.

p,re,tion of rood. in Feeding.


A series of tests is reported by Storrs
Station, Connecticut, in which corn
meal and mixed hay in turn We're fed
as a maintenance ration to two dry,
farrow cows. The results of tests
with mich cows, pigs and calves aye
also quoted and discussed for pur-
poses of comparison.
On an average 6.25 pounds Of corn
meal containing As pounds digestihle
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 digestible 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" IAN
increase in the proportion of grain to
roughage in ration for mich cows
Tin 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 di-
gestible rations in the tests summar-
lied. In general. according to the au-
thor, the value of feed depends
upon its 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
II is at band. 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 slower, oat than rye
straw A pound Of digestible matter.
therefore, should be more valuable
in the former than in the latter"
