Cheapness of Livinq.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
The health boards experience last win
ter with the unemployed in the lodging
houses and improvised shelters has led II
to the firm conclusion that, given careful
management, wholesale buying, good use
Of materials, and other conditions. three
square, wholesome, palatabIe meals a day
may be furnished for less than 8 cents a
day. On the Scent basis the blessings of
q bath, a doctor in case of need. and a
clean bed were added to the solution of
the ood problem.
An examination of the daily menu pre-
scribed causes no disappointment. A
breakfast Of bread and butter, coffee
with sugar., and molasses Is decidedly
satisfactory. 1T Is, in fact, the much
praised continental" breakfast slightly
modified, and the question Of it's suffi-
cheney resolves itself into one of quantity
and quality. Where these are adequate
the reasonable man will be entirely rec
onciled.
The sam may be said about the dinner
and the supper OF course, man does not
live by meat stew alone for dinner, or
mutton soup thickened alone for supper.
He Graves some variety. But no doubt
science n art are equal to the solution
OF this problem, too, after their success
with the paramount problem OF cost.

ECZEMA COVERED A D

Worst Case Doctors Ever Sayv--suf-
fered Untold MIsery-Perfect Cure
by CuticurR Remedies.
MY son, who is now twenty-five
years Of age, when four months old be-
gan to have eczema on his face, spread
Ing quite rapidly until he was nearly
covered. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said it was the
worst case they ever saw. At times his
whole body and face were covered, all
but his feet. l used many kinds of pat.
ent medicines, to no avail. A friend
leased me to try Cuticura. At last
decided to try Cuticura when my boy
was three years and four months old,
having had eczema all that time and
suffering untold misery. I began to use
all three Of the CutIcura Remedies. He
was better In two months; in six
months he was well. Mrs. r. L. Ria.

srocklNc rHRoUcH HOGS.

An Iowa subscriber writes Wallace's
Farmer that he has a large number OF
spring pigs and quite a number OF last
years pigs left on account of the poor
yield Of corn. has plenty OF blue grass
and prairie sod, and 100 acres In clover,
which he would like to save for hay.
He wishes to know what has been u
experience In carrying through hogs on
grass. ..... ."
We would not advise carrying hogs
through exclusively on grass for the
simple reason that they can not pos
sibly hold enough OF 1t to give them
much over a maintenance ration. Grass
is from 80 to 80 per cent water. Hogs
have been carried through on our North
Platte farms exclusively on alfalfa, but
the rate of growth Is very slow. Glover
should be of about h same general
character as alfalfa, but not quite so
good.
Hence we would advise our corre-
spoIdent to take part of his clover
meadow for a hog pasture, II possible,
and feed them some corn at the same
time. AS early as the frost was out
of the ground he should have sown
some rape" which by this time would
have been high enough TO turn in on.
BY the time oats are harvesed or even
in the dough stage he can feed them
oats, and he should have som of the
earliest variety of corn possible in order
to carry them through.
In short, no matter what the price OF
corn, we would feed some corn to young
hogs until corn of this years growing
is obtainable. 1t is only a question Of
about 80 days, or 60 If oats are fed, and
day will not amount to very much, even
at a high price.
We called the attention of our read
ers this spring to the possibility Of their
being short of grain during the sum-
mer season., and urged them to prepare
for 1t by sowing rape and a patch of
early corn and utilize clover pasture.
The Missouri experiment station con-
Quoted an experiment recently to which
we have made previous reference; but
h facts ELECTED may have some bear
ing on this problem. They fed diff
ferent lost Of hogs as follows: Corn
meal and middlings, corn meal and al
falfa, corn meal and clover, corn meal
and blue grass, corn meal and skim
milk. With corn meal and middlings
1t required SIS pounds Of grain to make
one pound of gain; with corr meal and
alfalfa, 4.01 pounds; with corn meal
and clover, 4.35 pounds; with corn meal
and blue grass, 5.31 pounds Of grain to
make a pound OF gain.
These figures show the vast superior
ity of alfalfa and clover pasture in on
nection with corn as a feed for hogs.
They show also that alfalfa is superior
to clover, but not s. much so as one
might expect. The hogs on corn meal
and middlings cost s4.7 for every 100
pounds of gain when corr was worth
40 cents a bushel and shipstuff SIS a
ton; on corn meal and alfalfa, $500;
on corn meal and clover, 1925; on orr
meal and blue grass 1866; and on
corn meal and skimmilk, 1888. II the
farmer can secure 100 pounds of gain
with corn meal and clover for 1926
when corn is worth 40 cents a bushel,
1t will be seen that he can afford to
pay even the present price Of corn and
still MAX pork at a profit.

HIGH PRICED MEAT.

That high priced meat is going to
be out of fashion this summer is al
ready evident. Industrial conditions
will not admit of extravagant values,
and the public has put the stamp OF
disapproval on the butchers tax. High
priced steers necessarily mean high
priced beef on the block, for packers
are not likely to continue business for
their health. AS long as they pay $500
07.40 for finished steers first class beef
will be out of reach Of many people.
The fact that thousands are out OF EN-
ployment will not help the demand any,
and the slackness Of business in many
lines Is bound to give the public an
economic streak. 1t is already being
felt, and not before in many years
have packers experienced so much trou-
BILE in getting rid Of their meat sup
plies. Mays receipts of cattle were the
smallest In many years, yet there was
more beef offered than could be sold
readily. Mutton was also on the black
list, and 1t was with the greatest diff
Guilty that 1t could be moved at very
much reduced rates. Possibly after
all it is a good thing that the supply Of
cattle in the country Is small.

How a Submarine Dives.
From Ha rner'a Weakly

All submarine vessels are brought to
a condition Of readiness to submerge
by taking in water ballast in suitably
arranged and controlled tanks. This
causes more Of the boat to sink below
the waters surface, and finally leaves
her with only a small part of her con-
ming tou GU Of water. The remain
ing part above water represents what
is called reserve b~uoyancy." This
buoyancy varies generally from 200 to
1000 pounds, depending upon the size
Of the craft; and 1t is to overcome the
permanent tendency to rise represented
by this reserve that pressure is brought
to bear upon the submerging rudders
or the hydroplanes In order to make the
boat sink after h is once put in mo-
ton.
Now, the amount of water that must
be taken into a submarine vessel to
bring her body sufficiently below the
surface for readiness to dive consti-
tute n Of the two prime distinctions
between the submarine n the sub
mersible. In the submarine only from
s per cent to II per cent of her total
submerged bulk lies above the surface
when she is in her lightest condition,
and, accordingly, nearly that percent
g Of water ballast must be pumped
into her tanks to bring her down to the
required condition preparatory to run
ming submerged. In a submersible, on
the other hand, two, three and even
four times this percentage Of water
ballast must be pumped into her tanks
in order to reduce the vessels reserve
Of buoyancy so that she may be forci-
bly, made to sink out of sight. It is
the height out of water or reserve of
buoyancy Of the submersible which
gives her her superior sea-keeping
qualities, which permits the vessel to
be driven safely on the surface at high
err rates of speed, and which contrib
utes in other ways to the. efficiency, the
Availability, and the military value Of
the craft
