DENATURED SUGAR FOR CALF
Found to Form Valuable and Econom-
icaI Addition to Skim -Mlk--Re-
suit of Experiment.

It has been found that denatured
sugar forms valuable and economi-
cal addition to skim milk for calves.
Denatured sugar is sugar to which
various ingredients have been added
for the purpose Of rendering it unfit
for human consumption. 1t is claimed
that, contrary to general belief, it
does not have an injurious effect on
the digestive organs; on the contrary,
that it's solubility renders it more d.
gestible, and that 1t has a high food
value. The amount fed at first is
one ounce per quart Of skim milk, and
IL is claimed that 1t can be fed to
calves ten days after birth without
danger. At first not over 3h ounces
Is given at a feeding, but afterwards
the amount may be raised to IL
ounces per quart of skim milk.
OF two lots of four calves each fed
OH skim milk supplemented by starch
and denatured sugar. as all expert
ment, the respective profits averaged
1924 per calf in the lot fed sugar and
1912 in the lot fed starch. The calves
were kept an average of 95 days.

taker," she gasped.
Census taker!" reiterated the sur
prised attorney. What in the world
gave you such an idea?"
The mother of Hope had st1lled her

"Ha,l Of the Thousand Mats"

It will be learned with much regret
bv those who have visited Nara in
japan, says writer in the London
Evening Standard, that the famous
"Hall of the Thousand Mats" III that
ancient city has been destroyed by
fire. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and before long the whole
place was enveloped in flames, which
lighted up the landscape for miles
around. Before long the goodwin
(warehouse) in which the temples
valuable relics were stored "for safe
ty against fire" also took fire, and
in a short space Of time the goodwin
and its contents were totally con-
sumed. BY their strenuous efforts,
however, the fire brigade saved the
main temple-the far-famed Hase-
dera. Nevertheless the damage done
by the fire is estimated at 100000.
The Semi -jiki, or "Hall of the Thou-
sand Mats" was formerly the resi-
dence of the abbot. One room alone
contained $50 mats, while all were
handsome with fusuma by an artist
of the Kano school.
