characteristics as dairy animal may
be summed up in these two words:
Economy and beauty.
Success with Jerseys, as with all
other live stock, will depend very
much on the treatment to which they

food and gentle treatment. A curry

presumably, as being the best possible.
This list included alfalfa hay, cut al

roughage, and the concentrates We're
corn meal, bran, ground oats, oil meal,
cotton-seed meal, gluten feed, corn
hearts homny feed and distiller's
grains. Each COW was fed, on the
average about 1914 pounds of grain
nnd 1917 pounds of hay and silage
day The cows had no pasture. Being
In a competitive test, OF course, they
were fed to the limit Of their capacity,

tanned the test without injury under

above amount of grain constitutes
heavier feeding than is generally prac-
tised in dairy herds, yet Prof. Scovell
as Il deduction from The results at
St. Louis, suggests 80 pounds day
of roughage and 1874 pounds OF con-
centrates as good ration for dairy
cows. With good pasture, of course
much less feed would be needed. In
deed many Jersey cows have made
good butter records on grass alone.
The feed should be properly bal
anced as to the proportions of rough
age and concentrates. protein foods
and carbohydrates. Prof. Seovell sug-
gesls the following: Roughage, q
pounds alfalfa hay and IL pounds corn
silage; grain, three pounds wheat
bran, five pounds corn meal. one
pound ground oats, two pounds oil
meal, five pounds gluten feed and one
half pound cottonseed meal a day.
The amount Of feed and its proportions
should depend. however, on the indi-
vidual feeding capacity of the COW,
which can be determined onlS by study
and experiment. Cows with a ten
dency TO lay on fat should have less
of the carbohydrates, or fattening
foods, such as corn meal and oats,
and more Of the proteids, such as bran,
gluten feed. alfalfa and oottonseed
meal On the other hand, cows in
clined TO excessive leanness should
have feed with more of the fattening
elements, specially during the dry
period.

Timber Decay Costs Millions,

Millions of feet of timber and finished
lumber rot every year in railroad ties,
bridges, trestles, piles, farm buildings,
fences, poles, and mine props. The
lumber consuming public of the United
States pays perhaps thirty to forty
million dollars year to make good the
losses from wood decay.
These great drains are a source of
more and more concern each year.
Chemists and engineers who have to do
with the uses of wood are woring IN
ceasingly on the problem. The u. S.
Forest Service has men who devote
their whole time to it. The importance
of the problem can not be over estimat-
ed. Millions of dollars are annually
saved by preservative treatment of tim
bers, but much yet remains to be
learned.
Wood decay is caused by fungus, a
vegetable growth sometimes so small
that it can be seen only with the micro
scope. Its roots or branches, like min
ute hairs. force their way into the wood
tissues and absorb or eat away the
solid parts. The collapse which results
is called decay. Timber is artificially
preserved by forcing into its cells and
pores certain substances which prevent
the growth of fungi. AS long as this
substance is present in sufficient quanti-
ty, the germs of decay-the threads
and spores of fungus-can not enter,
and the wood is preserved. This often
means doubling and sometimes trebling
the life of the timber.
The United States government con-
siders the investigations of the preser-
vative treatment of timber of such i'm
portance that the business of one office
of the United States Forest Service,
that of Wood Preservation, with new
headquarters at Madison, Wis, is given
over entirely to the work of expert
ments in cooperation with railroad
companies and other corporations and
individuals in prolonging the life of
railroad ties, mine props, bridge tim
bers, fence posts and transmission
poles.
The lengthening of the life of timber
means the saving of thousands of dol
lars annually through doing away with
the heavy expense of labor and cost of
material for renewals.

New View Of Appendicitis.
Houston Post.

Appendicitis has pOpularized itsel' q, d,
a disease to which universal man i ia

parently with determination TO erad,-
cate either the disease or the apprn-
dices.
In the outset the disease attacked
principally the weather. glasses, but in
its later progress it has extended to all
classes and conditions of life, and ap-
pendixless human beings now daily walk
the streets of every city and hamlet in
the land
Hence, startling is the information
which comes from Boston, the center of
learning, that one of the best known
physicians of that city has declared OPP

surgical craze which the law should de-
clare criminal

craze for this form of surgery started,
and l confidently believe that the day is
coming when the people will realize
that the cutting of the appendix is a
criminal operation. After the widely
proclaimed benefits and saving of life
by operations to cut the appendix, it
seems hardly necessary to cite the long
list of deaths following the operation.

Darlington would say. If the Boston
physicians contention be correct, what
must our tens of thousands of appendix

sacrifices they have made to science?

contention be established, those who re-
main whole and in their right mind will
refuse to part with at any price.
The statement of the Boston physi-
clan, we may be sure, is not going to be
accepted by the medical fraternity with
out great controversy. and until that
is settled the laity would better lie low
and avoid irritating the appendix.

A New Commandment.

A professor OF economics at Harvard.
Thomas N. Carter, would amend the
Decalogue. He thinks there should be
a substitute for the Injunction: Thou
shalt not take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain" He argues that the ut
terance of the word God and like bias
phemies have lost their old-tir1e sig
nificance. They are used from force of
habit, or as unthinking utterances. He
repeats the sound criticism that swear
ing indicates a dwarfed vocabulary and
the absence of good taste. Therefore,
he would strike out and insert: Thou
shalt not drink to drunkenness, nor be-
wilder myself with strong drink" This
view is, that craving for stimulants in
modern life has become an evil far
greater than profanity; since it imperils
life and assails prosperity. 1t hangs
over men, a danger like the sword of
Domocles, and is not to be tolerated in
those who hold positions of trust in our
modern, specialized life

The Dead in Palestine.

Only within fifty years have Chris
tians, who died in Jerusalem, been
buried in collins. Formerly, Catholics
were buried in the valley of the Cedron
alongside the Garden of Gethsemane at
the foot of the Mount of Olives, where
the Jews are still buried to-day. Only
a century ago a new churchyard was
laid out on Mount Zion, the place where
King David and his successors are still
buried. The exact spot is unknown,
although many attempts have been
made to find it. An old tradition says
that about the fifth century some work.

a few suggestions in the interest Of
those who are not fools, but friends
and relatives of fools.

No New Tariff agitation.
Philadelphia Press.

If there are members of the House or
Senate who harbor the thought that
the Payne tariff bill can be repealed by
the next Congress. or that agitation for
such repeal will be helpful TO either
Democrats or insurgents: they labor
under a grave delusion. No tariff law
ever suited everybody, but unless it is
followed by immediate disaster, as the
Wilson act was, a tariff once adopted
remains in force until conditions change
or the wisdom of amending it is demon
strated by experience.
The fate of the Payne Aldrich bill
will not be determined by the opinion
formed of it when before Congress, but
by the judgment reached after observa-
tion of its effect upon the country. If
the country does not thrive under it the
new tariff will not last long. If the re-
viving industry already apparent all
over the land continues, appeals for a
new tariff revision will fall on deaf
ears. The effect of a certain tariff on
the industrial condition of the country
is never so easily or certainly calculated
as is the effect of tariff agitation. The
prospect of tariff change, with great
uncertainty IS to what that change will
be, is the most blighting Industrial in
tiuence to which the business of this
country is periodically subjected. Those
who would continue such agitation in
definitely or resume it now are mis-
chief-makers and troublers of the land
which requires now above everything
industrial stability and repose.
In half dozenStates of the middle
West there is some evidence of dissatis-
faction with the tariff, but elsewhere
there is evidence only of relief that the
agitation is over, and entire content
ment to give the measure adopted q
fair trial. Without the stimulus of i'm
FASHIONED oratory we doubt if even the
middle West could be classified as dis
senting from the general satisfaction
that the tariff question is at rest for a
time Nothing could so certainly ar
rest the tide of reviving prosperity as
fresh tariff agitation, made with any
prospect of reopening the question.
Such an attempt seriously made
would surely be strangled in its incep.
ton by an indignant people. The coun.
try demands rest. 1t wants a chance
to recover from the long prostration
due IN large part certainly to the uncer
tainties of tariff revision, actual or il
prospect. That struggle is over. ST
let us have peace. The country need
it; and has already begun to realize it
stimulating and beneficent influence OF
the great industries of the land.

Chairman Lloyd, of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, is very frank
in his confession that ne does not know
what the Democratic issue will be next
year. He thinks they will wait and see
what the Republicans will do and then
simply oppose it. Well, that will be
nothing new. That is about ali the
Democratic party has ever done since it
had the Republican party to contend
with. The Democratic party next year
will be az was the Democratic party
