Her Menu Is One All Cows Could
Have.
This Is q short story Of a COW.
Maid Henry IL 1s-year-old Hol-
stein owned by the. Kansas Agrirul-
tural college. And, to jump right
into the interesting figures. she has
made a net profit OF sbes.bs for
her owners in the last ten months.
Her output in that time was 1896
pounds OF milk or $3.50 quarts,
which sold in Manhattan for eight
cents a quart. II would have made
|726 pounds of butter.
This COW was not fed anything
that any Kansas COW could not have.
She ate this every day: Corn chop
bran, oil meal. few ground oats,
alfalfa hay and corn and can ST.
lage. The average cost OF her feed
was about forty cents day. That
makes $3.50 for the ten months. The
total value Of her milk, at eight
cents quart was s6S2.56. A stu
dent, who buys her milk from the
college is making his way through
college selling 1t and other milk to
200 customers in Manhattan.
Another student who 10 operating
a two-cow dairy In connection with
a boarding house, is earning his way
and making little money besides.
The boarding house keeps him and
his COWS and pays him $1.25 week.

Bird-shaRed Wings ON AeroPlanes.
A remarkable and apparently
epoch-making discovery in aero
rynamics has been recently made by
Elisha F. Fales, in the course Of a
series Of experiments with aeroplane
and bird-wing forms at the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology.
The particular experiments refer
red to had for their OBJECT an in
vasion Of the shifting Of the center
of pressure due to changes in the
angle of incidence with different
wing surfaces. Mr.. Fales' discav-
cry, which is explained in an Illus
trated article in the November Pop
uIar Mechanics magazine, is con-
cerned with the use Of bird-shaped
wings, which are claimed to be In
herently stable-that is to say, with
every decrease N the angle Of In
eidence the line OF pressure moves
forward and with each increase II
moves backward. throughout the
whole range Of angles ever used IN
flight.
