OUR NEED OF WATER.

Muscles Made Elastic and Tempera-
ture Regulated by Moisture.
Psychologists tell US that the animal
body consists OF almost 80 per cent.
of water. Admitting this to be true.
1t would seem plausible. says tho
Medical Record. that this quantity ID
necessary In order to carry on the
normal physiological processes OF
the animal economy in proper con.
ditiou.
For similar reasons 1t would also
appear plausible that should this
quantity In any way be greatly re-
dueed or diminished, either through
normal processes OF the body or
through abnormal processes, this
lost quantity must Immediately be re-
supplied Should such a withdrawal
Of water be permitted to be unduly

self may ultimately be terminated.
Elasticity and pliabiIty of muscles,
nerves, cartilage, tendons and even
bones depend mainly no the amount
OF water they contain. Water also
serves as distributor Of bodily heat
and regulates the body temperature
by the physical process Of absorption
and elimination.
Under normal conditions and b .
proper degree Of health this supply
is ordinarily furnished partly by the
food and partly by the drink we are
daily consuming. An overindulgence

SCHOOL GARDENS IN TEXAS.
Agricultural Branch Of the Training

Agricultural Branch Of the Training
of San Antonio Children.
The school garden system of sSau
Antonio, Tex, is on an established
practical basis 1t is said that this
city has more gardens attached to its
schools than any place of its size in
the world. There are 949 of these
cultivated plots attached to the TWEEN.
ty-nine public schools The gardens
are in charge Of school superinten-
dents, but the work of planting, cuI-
tivating and harvesting the products
of each is carried on by the pupils
of the school to which the garden
belongs The gradens vary from one
tenth to one-quarter of an acre. 1t is
estimated that the total acreage is
more than 100, or equal to that of a
good sized farm
The boys of the schools take a
great pride in their gardens. The
teachers declare that since the gar
dens were established the boys are
much more Industrious in their stud
les, that they learn more readily and
that they all show evidence of mate
rial improvements in their health and
physical condition
The climate Of San Antonio Is pc
culiarly adapted to the operation OF
the school garden system. The work
can be carried on during practically
the whole school term. Certain veg
etables can be. grown successfully
during the fall and winter. The
spring gardens are planted early in
February and the products are ma
tured and harvested by the time the
school term ends III June. An enorL
nous quantity of vegetables Is grown.
The boys take such keen interest in
the work that they give little time to
playing the games that usually con-
sumo good part Of the time of young
students There is much rivalry
among the different schools over the
gardens.
Text books On agriculture now are
used in the public schools of San An
tonic. The youths are given a basic
training IN farming and gardening |
and are enabled to put their knowl- !,
edge to practical use in the gardens i
that are provided for them Ener
getic boys, who become interested in
the work do not confine their labors
to the school garden but many OF
them have converted unsightly back
yards and vacant lots at their homes
into cultivated plots.

TeIephoned Burglars.

A telephone girl tells The Phila-
delphia Record of new use of the
telephone. Three women occupy a
house near where the girl lives. They
had been away in the country for
some time when one day the operator
was surprised to- hear one Of them
can up pay station, asking for her
own home number. The girl says: Il
rang the phone several times, but. as
the house was closed, there was no
answer. Then my curiosity got the
better OF me and disclosed my iden-
tity and asked why she was calling
her own number when she knew the
house was closed. That's just the
point came the response over the
wire rather tartly; we wish, to scare
any burglars away If there are any

MOI4ASSEs AS STOCK FOOD.


The first suggestion of the use OF
Nolasses as stock food was made
" Hermstadt in 1911. The first rec
orded ration was used in 1880 and
consisted of chopped straw and z20
pounds of molasses per day for 1000
sheep, eighty lead OF cattle and TWEEN
ty horses. In 1880, rations mentioned
by Stockhardt, Henneburg and Stoh-
man consisted of molasses, oat-straw
and hay. They limited the amount OF
nolasses to pounds per 1000 pounds
live weight Of the animal fed. BY
1860 the use of molasses became quite
general In Germany, France and Rus
STA, and by 1870 its use had spread
to England. Owing to the cost OF
molasses and the variability of the
product, the demand for it did not
increase rapidly until about 1890,
when the increased production caused
marked decrease in price. 1t Is
Estimated that now about one-third OF
the molasses produced In Europe is
used as forage for stock. It is fed
directly 10 cattle, but usually diluted
and absorbed on cut straw. hay and
cereal waste Or peat IN Louisiana
and Texas when feeding molasses
about 1--WE pounds per day is used for
cattle. and about twelve pounds for
mules. This is mixed with hay and
grain or sprinkled on cane tops. The
of the other feeds reeds re-
luired Is considerably diminished by
he use of molasses.- Queenslander.

SHEEP PAID BETTER THAN

Hnghast brothers, wac own a large
tract, composed Of abandoned farms
purchased by them for game and fish
preserves, etc. They purchased a
fock OF eighty goats some eight years
ago, and nearly the same number of
sheep and fed them alike, giving them
the same shelter and care.
From the first 1t was evident that
the goat was the loser, while the
sheep were self supporting, with a
fair margin Of profit.
The Angora goat would eat the bark
from every fruit tree and shrub as
far as they could reach, while the
sheep would not injure tree of any
kind. While comparing the fleece.
the goats would average about PIP
pounds apiece, while the sheep cut
about four pounds. and in cold or wet
weather the goats had to be. housed,
as their fleece would absorb water
and give no protection to their bodies,
while the sheep would not mind the
weather but would thrive and fatten.
while the goat would shiver and lose
