 cabbaqe raising isn't the end of life; to have a bigger and better barn isn't the sole object for even farmers ex- istence. All that life is for I don't profess to know, but one thing it can wisely and properly be used for is the elevation of our own manhood and womanhood If you are grangers, as l hope you are, you'll have heard some thing of that sort before. Our farms. our horses our cattle, our belongings of all sorts are but the tools which we may use to develop our own selves not our masters We don't feed and support our horses for their oWn salxes; but for the use they may be to us. I am not here to become slave to even my farm; it is here to furnish me subs istence.

They do not know or care for the awful glory of the blue vault above them; they never see the serene stars shining overhead; their lives begin and end with the little rood of much trodden soil over which they travel back and forth, digging and grubbing.
 Of course, we must work to live. No body denies it; everybody admits 1t. It doesn't follow that We live solely to work like slaves at a never-endlng, never-to- be accomplished task My gardens stretch back from the house over a level area, and I work on them and over them, day by day. I must do it to get the fuel by which the human engine may be enabled to run. But I am something more than just an en- gine-a machine.

Human in Glass Cage to Test
Foods.

To determine whether roast beef
produces more energy in the hu-
man body than cabbage, whether
baked beans in this respect sur
pass potatoes, and so on through
a long list of foods, the department
of agriculture is conducting a Sc
ries of novel experiments in
Washington. The instrumental
ty being employed is a machine
known as the calorimeter and a
human being who submits to the
"torture" of being fed and sitting
in glass cage while the food ener-
gy is recorded.
Around the inside of the calori-
meter, which is glass, air-tight
compartm ,nt about the size of
small steamer stateroom, runs 9
system of pipes filed with cold
water. The temperature of the
water is carefully noted, the heat
generated by the body in the
process of assimilating the food
causing the water to become
warmer.
Only one kind of food is given
to the subject at a time. One
experiment requires several hours,
according to the time required to
digest the food.
The experiments so far have
been to determine the relative
heat-producing energy of fatty
and starchy foods. Several months
will be spent in making tests.
