AMERICA NAMED BY GERMAN

In the interesting town OF st. Die,
In French Lorraine, there was recent
ly held a celebration of special inter
est to the people OF this side of the
world, and In lesser degree to Spain
and Italy. 1t was in honor of the four
hundredth anniversary Of the publica-
ton there of the geographical work OF
Martin Waldseemuller, in which Amer
lea was suggested as the name of the
New World.
There have been many theories and
much controversy as to the origin OF
the name America, and not few have
resented the slight which was put
upon Columbus in this connection
Some have denounced Amerigo Yes
pucci-who, like Columbus, was an
Italian sailing under the flag Of Spain
for stealing the glory due the real
discoverer.
But the chief wrong. II any was
done. was committed by the German
geographer in the book which was
published In 1907. and on the mar
which he published year or SO later
On that map the name America was
applied. however, only to the southern
part of the New World. The northern
part was called Parias.

YIELDS TO RUSSIANS
Persia Consents to Dismissal Of
American Treasurer.
All Points in Cars Ultimatum Ac-
coded To-Russian Troops Oc-
cupy Persian Capital.

Washington, d. C. = Persia has
yielded to the demand of the Russian
ultimatum that w. Morgan Shuster,
an American, who holds the post of
treasurer-general in the Persia gov
eminent, be dismissed from the sery-
ice.
The Russian ultimatium also calls
for the payment of an indemnity,
which is to reimburse Russia for mon
ey expended in sending an armed ex-
petition into Persia to enforce her
demand.
Mr.. Shuster's administration of
Persian finances has been displeasing
to Russia from the start and when he
caused the seizure of property of the
brother of the former Shah, over the
protest of the Russian vice consul,
Russia at first demanded an apology
and, when this was not forthcoming,
asked for the dismissal of Mr.. Shus-
ter. This has been acceded to-
The Persian charge 'affaires at St.
Petersburg called at the Russian for
eign office to announce officially his
governments decision to abide by the
terms of the ultimatum. No late pub
lie announcement has been made at
Teheran of the recession of Persia
from the defiant stand she officially
took against the demands of the
Cars minister, even in the face OF
threatened aggression.
The delay in making public the fact
that she had yielded to the Russian
demands probably was through fear of
the consequences of public sentiment.
The exact form of Persia's reply to
Russia is not yet known, but from the
latest news received from Teheran it
would seem the cabinet has overridden
the wishes of the commission which
the National council appointed to deal
with the subject.
Disorders are occurring. There are
only 200 Russian troops encampec
three miles outside of Tabriz and from
this number guards are sent to town
daily for the consulate and banks.

EXPERIMENTS IN FEEDING
HORSES.
Agricultural Experiment League to
Test Efficiency of Hay Feed.

Agricultural Experiment League TO
Test Efficiency of Hay Feed.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis.-'Farn horses as a general
rule are fed entirely too much hay"
says the Oregon Agricultural Expert
ment Leagues latest bulletin to the
100 members who are to test the
efficiency of a system of feeding sug
gested by the department of animal
husbandry.
This is a positive injury to the
animal. and often lessons to a con-
siderable degree his working eff
cheney. 1t should be remembered
that every time a horse initiates his
lungs, the stomach is displaced, and
if this organ be kept constantly full
of bulky food, it imposes extra work
upon the respiratory system Heaves,
so common among farm horses, is al
most wholly due to feeding too large
quantities of hay. Collie and other
forms of indigestion are often due to
feeding too large amounts of bulky
food Aside from its physical injury
to the horse, the feeding of exces-
sive amounts of hay is a waste that
should be conserved.
"A horse weighing 1000 lbs will
do more work and keep in better
health on Is lbs. of hay per day than
he will on 20 lbs. per day. In fact
10 lbs. of hay per day is sufficient
bulky food for a horse of that size
A horse weighing 1000 to 1900 lbs
does not need more than 20 lbs
of hay per day. The balance of his
nutrients should be in the form OF
grain.
Feed the 1000 lb. horse 10 lbs
of good hay at night and lbs. in
the morning and he will perform
more labor with greater ease than he
would If hay is kept before him all
the while.
THE purpose of the experiment is
to cause horse owners to observe
more closely the advantages of feed
ing less hay. If two or more teams
are maintained upon the farm, feed
one team as suggested and the other
the usual way and note carefully the
result. In making the test, however
teams should be divided as to size
age and individuality as nearly equa
as possible. Whenever practicable
weigh rather than guess the amount
of hay fed"

REINDEER MEAT PLENTY,

States, Says Expert.

States, Says Expert.
Washington, D. Cat the present
rate of propagation Alaska will have a
herd of more than 2,0O0,0 900 reindeer
within % years, according to state
ment made by William T. Lopp, in
charge of the government reindeer
service.
Originally imported to provide
means of transportation and food for
the natives of Alaska, Alaska reindeer
are multiplying so fast that within a
few years they will largely augment
the meat supply of the Pacific coast.
One hundred and thirty-ive reindeer
were killed and dressed for the Seattle
market this season, the carcasses av-
eraging 100 pounds each.
Reindeer meat, Lopp says, is a cross
between mutton and beef and more
palatable than either. Opportunities
for reindeer propagation in Alaska, he
says, are boundless and the industry is
so we'll established that there is no
question of its success.
