 C. & 4. DIVIDEND-The Calumet & Arizona Mining company early this week announced a dividend of $1 per share. which was disappointingly small to some who had been looking for a larger disbursement of easy money. The reason a larger dividend was not paid is accounted for in some quarters by the fact that the company has been acquiring new properties by option during the last year and it is supposed a considerable reserve is kept in the treasury for these operations. designed to make all the stock more valuable later on.

FEEDING VALUE OF HAY.
Changes Result in More Milk From
the Cows.


the Cows.
We have been through our usual ex
perience with hay again this spring.
says a writer in the Rural New
Yorker. A gain has resulted in milk
production from an even lao quarts d
day to 165 quarts. just by change in
the hay fed the COWS. A friend called
the other day and said he b two
cows in the village that had been i'll
milk for some time, and were living
an average of SO pounds day. He
changed the hay and they dropped al
most to IS pounds. That is a larger
drop than l ever noted from changing
hay, but these experiences with hay
are so frequent that we know to q
practical certainty what to expect from
cows. There is no grain ration that
can make up Tor poor hay, or even
medium hay, as compared with first
quality for cows. This time our own
change was from hay that got wet and
hurt little to hay that was harverted
under the best conditions.
Possibly. too. the poorer hay may
have been a little coarser. Coarse
timothy hay makes poor ration for
milk cows. That Is the trouble with
the hay mentioned by my friend. He
has made a considerable effort to
change his farm from a low production
OF hay to that of nearly three tons an
acre. He says he gets the quality
but for feeding cows 1t isn't good for
anything. That may be an exaggera-
ton. but we are able to get nothing
that equals our mixed grasses, quite
a portion of which is blue grass, for
feeding cows. Moreover. we raise
that hay for SO ton and we harvest
1t for SO more. We cannot get very
large yields, but we get excellentoqual-
ity at moderate cost. We try for
clover and timothy. and sometimes
succeed Perhaps we make little by
trying, but the hay question hasn't
reached a positive solution yet.
On cur farm we are studying how to
get at least fair yields of hay of good
quality for feeding our cows. If pos
sible, we want to do this without plow
ing because of the labor problem. We
are obliged to pillow when weeds get
in possession, but we would Ike to
get good yields on all other plots with
out using the pillow. We top-dress a
good deal, and this year we have a
dozen or more experimental plots in
our meadows where we apply CONNER
cial fertilizers, ashes. lime and com
binations Of fertilizers. Besides this
we have an eight-plot field in the pas
true which we wish to improve, and
several plots where we are seeding &C
cording to verious plans recon-
mended by the college Of agriculture
and others by fertilizer experts.

.Sew York.
The central idea embodied in the
plan for school buildings, is TO form,
centrally within the walls of the
building structure. freproof place of
refl,e, which shall be Instantly avail
able through fire doors within its
walls connecting directly with every
floor and it's series of rooms, and
which shall have sufficient capacity
TO temporarily house and safeguard
all the occupants of the building and
from which by ample stairways they
can liesurely wend their way to the
outer air through a protected cause
way in the basement. unhampered by
fire, smoke or even undue heat.
While the saving Of human life is
tie primary object of this novel feat
iffe in building construction. a second
AIRY object of great significance TO fire
departments and to the public gener-
ally, is the ready access afforded and
the means employed for fighting the
fire centrally, and at close range,
without in the least imperiling the
lives OF the fremen
A third feature of much incidental
value lies in the direct access which
the citadel gives to every room in the
building, and their inter-connections,
and especially it's value as a means of
ingress and egress of the pupils, with
out in the least disturbing the occu-
pants or recitations in any of the
other rooms in the building.
The citadel proper, save for numer-
GUS fre-doors connecting with each
floor and basement causeway,, is a
closed and independent structure rest
on its own foundations and extending
from basement to roof, which is
capped and fireproofed, presenting no
opening save for firemens use and for
artificial ventilation.
1t is provided with floors inter-con-
nected by stairways which floors are
coincident with those of the building
proper, and are rigidly secured TO the
inner walls of the citadel.
This citadel, in structure, may be of
brick or reinforced concrete ami may
be suitable for any desired prism or
dimensions suitable for any special
requirement. Being closed structure
and absolutely fireproof, no re can
originate within its walls, nor can
fire and smoke enter from without,
as no draft can be created in either
direction, except voluntarily through
artificial means However, under nor
NAL conditions IN electric fan or
blower in the dome of the roof, will
serve for purposes of ventilation
The intermediate space between
the walls of the citadel and the outer
building serves the purpose of contin-
uous connection of every school room
with all the fire doors, while the
space is aptly located for lockers,
cloak rooms, closets, etc.

With Mil tia as National Guards.

The citizen soldiery is very diff
ferent thing from what il was TWEEN
ty-fiye years ago. Then belonging to
a militia company was little more
than belonging to a club. The prin'
cipal function was to appear occa-
sionally in a uniform that would
scare horses and to parade the town
behind a brass band, to the infinite
delight of all the small boys. The
annual encampmeut was a vacation
picnic There was drill in the man
ual of arms, all of which can be
learned in a couple of days. There
was marching and counter-marehins
by companies, and occasionally there
we're battalion eyolutions. 1t was a
lark. and it wasn't much else.

rAE DANGER oE SMOKE.

The pity of it is that the evils
which come from smoke are all pre-
veliable. Smoke-consumers exist
which have proved their worth. Due

ton which shall be practically smoke
less. These statements have been
proved over and over again. 1t is a
matter of community supervision, of
laws rightly framed, and fearlessly
administered. Fortunately inspection
is by no means difficult matter. One
city, for example, handles that prob
lem by means of chart holding six
pictures of a chimney above a fac
tory, the first of which shows the
chimney with no smoke, the second
with light smoke issuing, the other
four showing greater and blacker vol
unies. The first conditions are pass
able. The last are dangerous. The
inspector takes a photograph of any
questionable chimney and compares
l. with the standard pictures. The
comparison tells the story. The fac
tory is pronounced passed. or the
owner is warned to Immediately con-
