never occurred TO us that Central

the case. The farm in question is

so called. and with additions made
since Mr.. Sprague purchased it a
year ago, now comprises 400 acres,
and more than half Of it will be un-
der the plow in the coming season.
Already he has 100 acres under the
plow and ready for crop Of potatoes
next spring. Last spring he planted
ninety odd acres and reaped as a har-
vest $4,000 bushels OF merchantabio
potatoes.-Kennebee Journal.

military discipline throughout the
experiment. The food administered
TO each was OF known composition.
The weight of proteid injected was
known. This amount was reduced
gradually. The amount OF food was
kept at such a volume as 10 insure
each man enough 10 eat. The bodily
weights OF the individuals remained
unaltered. practically. But the mus
cular tone and the muscular strength
showed a surprising increase.
Eight university athletes were sub
jects OF the second series OF expert
ments. During their five months
dieting the daily intake of proteid
food by each individual was reduced
more than half. All showed gain
in muscular power All suffered less
from fatigue after yisorous effort
than formerly. Physical and mental
endurance increased.
The effect of a low proteid diet on
dogs was ascertained through the
final experiment. 1T has been
thought for years that dogs and
other flesh eaters could not long
survive a marked diminution of the
proteids in their food-Doctor Chit
tenden supplies arguments for the
theory that the want of success in
previous cases depended less on the
reduction of the proteid than on the
condition of past experiments. "A
dog" ne says, does not thrive when
restricted to a purely vegetable diet,
and a little animal food seems neces-
airy 10 keep up its health and
strength, and this suflices even
though the daily nitrogen intake and
fuel value Of the diet are restricted

dietary" Altogether. then, as DR..
Chittenden sums the matter up. a
diet which conforms 10 the true
nutritive requirements Of the body
must necessarily lead toward veSe-
table foods.
