One of the best foods for making

ply of eggs fails, stop all other feeds
ard feed lean meat or liver, and cheap
meats will answer, and it Will be found
superior to anything else that can be
used. Green bone, containing a large
proportion OF lean meat, is even better,
provided the fat portions are removed
from the bone.
1t will be found cheaper than grain,
because it will make eggs. One reason
why the hens fail to lay when they
have plenty of grain is that they re

HORSE EVOLUTION.
American Museum of Natural History
Finds Missing Link

At last the cham of equine evolution
is complete. After years of search, and
just when all hope of success had been
abandoned. the American Museum of
Natural History, New York, has been
rewarded by the discovery of remains
This discovery fills in the last gap in the
record which science has long eudeav-
ored 10 make perfect.
The museum began its explorations in
1901 under the direction of Prof. Henry
+. Osborn. curator of the department of
vertebrate paleOntology, with a trip to
the Big Horn basin of northern Wyom-
ing. The expenses were betrayed from
a fund contributed by the late William
e. Whitney. At his death these special
explorations had to cease, the hunt for
fossil horses is now carried on in con-
junction with that for other fossil ami
mails. until some equally publicspirited
1t distinctively.
The locality around Fort Bridger,
Wyo, was carefully searched for fossils
but particularly for the mountain
horse, fragments of which had been
found and named by Prof. Marsh in
museum visited this region in 1893 and
1893, and from 1908 to 1905, but in
spite of the most indefatigubl bic efforts
the Orohippus eluded the searchers. 1t
had begun to look as though the at
tempt to locate his skeleton would have
to be given up as hopeless. when on the
very last day of the final expedition of
1905, just when the party was about to
return, the long looked for remains were
unearthed. These consisted of the skull
backbone, limbs and other parts of the
skeleton of the very stage wanted.
The find has not been publicly an
nounced heretofore, and it will be some
time before the museum has ready its
exhibit showing every stage of horse
evolution, beginning when the ancestors
of the horse of today was about the size
of an Irish terrier. The museum has
already classified the fossils of the horse
previously found in various localities III
the western part of the United States,
and will thus be able now to place be
fore the public a complete ocular record
of equine evolution from the early days
of the Eocene period, estimated at three
million years ago, down to the present
time.
The museums latest discovery is of the
greatest Importance, not only because it
will make these records more complete
but also because it may lead TO the veri-
fcation Of the theory that the horse
originated i'll this country. Prof Osborn
will make a thorough examination of
these remains and his conclusions are
awaited with a great deal of interest

Returned to Use of Oxen.

A Missouri farmer has returned to

he finds them cheaper and better than

ing oxen for general farm work, he
has trained a bull TO run a trcadmi!l
that pumps water, churns butter and
does all of that kind of work. This
animal beats a windmill or gasoline
engine "all to pieces" and the work
keeps his temper sweet and prevents
him from doing damage with his horns.

eeD Corn Dry.

Experiments have shown that corn
which is thoroughly dry will not be i'll
tured by any degree of cold. This.
while interesting, is not as comforting
as it would appear to be, for the rea-
son that some confusion may result in
deciding when corn is thoroughly dry
and further, corn once dry does not
necessarily mean always dry. If left
subject to a moisture-laden atmosphere
it will very likely take up enough
moisture to render it liable to injury
from severe freezing
