cadence of the Greeks before the tri-
umph of Rome, IN part, at least. to
the ravages of malaria. AS to Rome,
Mr.. Jones points out that some dis
tricts in Etruria and Latium we're al
one time populous and prosperous, al
though now they are hardly habitable
on account of malaria. Although Rome
was marshy In the early period, II
was well drained. and there is no rea.

to the expedition was especially con-

out one night to another member Of
the party, who was in the tent.

The relation Of phosphate to the
animal economy was finely worked out
by the Wisconsin Experiment station
Three pens of pigs of three each were
kept for several months. To one was
fed the ordinary fattening ration; to
another little phosphate was added
to their food; with the third all the
phosphate was extracted from their
feed. The effect was astonishing. The
pigs to which was given an increased
portion, though small. of phosphate,
were wonderfully thrifty and vigorous.
while those that ate the ration from
which the phosphate had been extract
ed were dumpish. and not able to
stand on their feet for a minutes
time. Their growth and weight was
also greatly retarded. Our soil, ami
mails and crops need this important
agent OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Dairyman.
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1910-07-23

The cost of keeping a cow varies
considerably according to the cost of
producing the roughage from hay,
grain and corn feeds but figures from
dairy associations place the average
cost at $50 or $35 year. To pay a
profit, it follows that the cow must
produce more than $50 or $35 year.
1t pays TO keep an accurate account
with all the COWS. There are many
that do not near pay up. Apply the
test of scales and Babcock tester then
and get rid of those that do not come
mp to the mark
In buying new cows, procure those
that freshen in the fall. You will
have the butterfat at the time when
prices rule higher and the COW VIII
continue in good now all through the
spring IL you treat her well through
the winter. Increase the feeding as
the pastures decrease. Extra care and
feed in the fall will keep the milk
flow up and allow of good sales as the
prices increase.
After years OF observation the Cor
nell University reaches these conclu-
sions; (1) With a fairly good herd
carefully fed and kept, milk can be
produced for 65 cents cwt., and fat
for Is cents a pound, for the cost of
food consumed. Large animals con-
sumo less pounds of dry material per
1000 lb. live weight each day than the
smaller animals do The best yields Of
fat are obtained from cows that give
a fairly large flow of milk Pasture
grass is the cheapest milk and fat pro
ducing food. (From this it seems that
those who neglect their pastures or
make little effort to start new ones, are
in losing game.) The COW consum-
ing the most food produce both fat
and milk at lowest rate. A good COW
must be hearty eater. individuals
of the same breed vary more widely
in milk and butter production than
do the breeds themselves.-The Ohio

Acidity in soils. while not directly
injurious itself to most crops, is not a
condition of fertility and usually in
dicates a need of phosphates.
Especially is 1t detrimental to the
growth of clovers, in that It does not
favor the development of bacteria
forming nodules on their roots, which
fix the nitrogen from the air. Clay
ioam soils. the organic matter OF which
has been to a considerable extent ex-
hausted, should be kept In as favorable
a condition for the growth OF clover
as possible, and the neutralizing of any
acidity is one OF the most important
factors.

The Society of Illuminating Engi-
neers in England has lately discussed
the question of the best means of
avoiding glare from artificial lights.
1t is beginning to be recognized that
the recent introduction of intensely
dazzling points of light raises prob
lens in the solution of which the
oculist must take a hand. Two Ber-
lin professors urged in a communi-
cation to the society the ACCESSIBILITY
of initiating daylight" The quality
of daylight is It's diffusion. whereby
the eye is saved from injury. 1t has
been estimated that the diffused day
light from a clear sky is about 60 per
cent OF the direct sunlight. 1t is point
ed out that the injurious eye effects
of artificial lights are not confined to
the light centers, but arise also from
the glare reflected from the surface
Of shining paper and olher bright OBJ
jects.
A device which manufactures
breathable air, when required, for
miners caught in mine accidents, has
recently been invented by Clarence
Hall, government expert at Pittsburg.
A double tank contains. In one COM
partment, sodium peroxid, and in the
other water. A cock that can be
opened at will connects the two. The
combination OF the chemical and wa
ter creates a flow of oxygen, and
enough of the raw material is carried
In the apparatus to supply one mans
demand for about thirty minutes. A
nose and mouth piece are furnished to
cover the face. The purpose of the
device is to provide men with a port
able supply of oxygen that will enable
them to live long enough to make eff
forts in their own behalf after an
accident. man can travel far in
thirty minutes, if he can breathe free

pected that the invention will be the

The American accent" writes q
contemporary correspondent, lis far
less irritating than the cockney dia-
lect, and it would be well for us if
the former, which Is at least musical,
could be substituted for the cacopho-

AS a matter of fact, we think that
the cockney accent has a certain mum
Der of real admirers, but what we
wish to call to our readers minds par
ticularly is that America has its cock
ney, so to speak. precisely as we have.
People in Kentucky have a rather
burrish way Of speaking. and they
loathe and detest the fruity twang
which overwhelms New England. The
westerner, again, is responsible for th.
dialect which was supplied on tho
English boards by stage Yankees.
Whether you acquire the American
accent or not depends on the length OF
time you remain In America. English

Animal. Need Juicy Feed.

The digestive organs of animals that
chew their cud are so formed as to
require comparatively juicy and bulky
food. The COW can not thrive on dry
food as well as the horse. The ideal
food for the dairy COW Is good pas
ture. but for a large part of tho year
green pasture is not available. The
best substitutes to furnish this succu-
lent feed during this period are root
crops and corn silage. Corn yields
about twice as much dry matter per
acre as do root crops. AS root crops
require much more labor, silage is by
far the most economical for those
where corn can not be grown.

Most Profitable Farm Animal.

Most Profitable Farm Animal.
Opinion is divided and probably al
ways will be on the question which is
the most profitable farm animal to
raise. Many believe the horse brings
the greatest profit, others tie their
faith to the beef breeds, and still 9TH
ers to the dairy breeds of cattle, but
it seems that the friends of the hog
are In the majority. A hog requires
more care at times than do some
other animals. but 1t is wonderfully
prolific, and II the quality and breed
ing are right 1t Is easy to make a
market for the animals produced, and
the farmer has the advantage of turn
ing his money over more rapidly and
more profitably in hog breeding than
In perhaps any other kind of animal
production. OF course, there arc
many risks to assume, as the modern
hog is purely artificial product and
subject to humors and diseases which
would not come to 1t in its wild state.
The investment of moderate sum of
money in few brood sows in the
spring will make man hog breeder
within a year; whether bred as a spe-
cialty or as a side line, the hog always
gives good account of himself
