PROPER TIME TO CUT GRASS
Hurried to Barn Not Fully Cured
Thorough Drying Needed.
(By WALTER LEUTz.)

AS to the best time for cutting
grass. it does not pay to be in too big
a hurry. When the grass is young
and tender and seemingly succulent
in the fresh state, II is harder to cure,
dries and shrinks more, and has not
nearly the food value of the more ma
ture crop.
While the opposite extreme should
be avoided, cutting before the seed is
so ripe as to scatter. there is much
more nourishment in the matured
stalk, and one farmer who was CON-
plimented for bringing his cattle
through the winter on a minimum
amount of grain and yet keeping them
In good flesh. attributes his success
largely to this fact.
Haste makes waste when the crop
is hurried to the barn not fully cured.
Hay cut green requires more thorough
drying than that almost overripe.

RIVAL OF RADIUM Is FOUND

coined only a few years ago as with
out parallel in the realms of scientific
discovery. has a rival. Already its
fame is being challenged by cheaper
substance which is believed TO pos
sess all it's wonderful properties. So
said Mr.. Deane Butcher, in an address
to one of the sectional meetings of
the British Medical associations con-
gress.
Happily" he declared, "in treat
ment of malignant growth by electron
bombardment we are no longer re-
stricted to the use of but one radio
active substance.
"The recent work Of DR.. Hahn has
shown that some of the derivatives
of thorium-especially mesothorium-
are even more active than radium.
We may hope that in short time we
may be in possession of radioactive
substance which is not only cheaper,
but also much more plentiful than it's
rival"
The lecture was amazing from the
layman's point of view. Mr.. Butcher
talked of quantities. which not only
defied measurement. but were too
small even to be thought about by
the unframed mind.
He spoke Of the machine unit-the
quantity of radio-activity, which
causes leak of one-thousandth of an
electrostatic unit per second.
Some idea of the smalness of this
quantity" he said, may be gathered
from the fact that an atmosphere Of
one mache unit per litre contains one
part of emanation in 100000, 900 ,000,-
600 parts of air"
