FIND THE SECRET OF LIFE
savants Of University Of Pennsylvania
Produce Guinea Pigs With
Serum They Make.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Following up the
research experiments performed at
the Rockefeller institute in New York,
Psychologists of the University of
Pennsylvania have completed a series
of tests which are amazing.
The scientists have found 1t is i'm
possible to produce animal. life artih-
cially. The work is still in the expert
mental stage, but female guinea pigs
have been impregnated by an artificial
solution, Stimulating the normal animal
secretion, and from this there has
been produced the true animal embryo
which has grown to normal size and
been born as the result of this treat
ment.
1t was found solution of water, 80
per cent, salts IL per cent, and an acid
similar to the malic acid that is found
in certain forms Of vegetable life,
would cause human tissues to grow.
When the fact was established, then
the men of science we're ready to pro-
coed with their comparative animal
tests.
Several female guinea pigs were
isolated so as to preclude the posi-
bility of their impregnation by natural
methods. This solution was injected
and three Of the animals gave birth to
guinea pigs, but they were consider
ably smaller than those born in the
natural way. Two of these artificially
produced pigs died, but one is still
living.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources Of Canada has been issued ry
the Dominion Department of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what Is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits of which nothing whatever is
known at present. The officials of the
department estimate that of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1874
billion tons; Of anthracite 461 mil
lion tons; sub-bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
Of coal now annually mined in Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity of unnixed good coal,
of "a billion tons, it would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. II
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for r4,575 years. Of
course the coal demands of Canada
will keep on increasing, but 1t will be
a good many years before the quantity
Of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output of the United States
mines. Their annual output Is about
500,000,000 tons. At that rate 1t
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end of the total supply. And
with the increasing population, made
up Of about four hundred thousand per
sons year (and 1t looks now as If this
number would be reached this year,,

A silo IL feet in diameter and 80

rs tons of silage. A silo IA feet in
diameter and 80 feet high will hold
about 1913 tons. Twelve cows require
So tons of silage to supply them 200
days at the rate of 80 pounds day.
A silo 10 feet in diameter and % to
"a feet high would be a very good
size for this number of cattle. If it is
desirable to make some preparation
for summer, and as a rule it is, then
the silo should be built still higher. On
reasonably good land a yield of 10
tons per acre of green corn may be ex.
pected. On very rich land us high as
20 tons of green corn are produced.

their cost of maintenance and raise
colts worth $1,000.
The economy of the heavy mare on
the farm, both from the standpoint OK
doing farm work and producing colts
compared with light and medium
weight mares is nicely summed up as
follows by Secretary Dinsmore of the
Percheron Society of America: The
cost of maintenance under farm con-
ditions is about the same, the heavier
mares are more efficient in the work
of the farm, the colts are ready for
work year younger, and If carried
to the same age, will bring about
twice as much as the colts from the
light weight mares and about one
third or one-quarter more than the
colts from the medium weight Mares
This summary was drawn up aftee
some careful thinking, upon the ques'
ton being put to the secretary by az
extensive land owner looking forward
to the purchase and breeding OF
horses, What kind of mares should
use? l want to know all things con-
sidered, whether | should buy 1900
pound, a 1,400 pound or a 100 pound
mare?" In other words, the land
owner as a business man wanted to
know What would be the relative cost
of maintenance, what the relative eff.
cheney on the farm and what the relar
tive market value of the colts pro-
duced, Of these three classes of mares
Here is how he thinks out the mat
ter, and his thinking was based on ex'
tended observation and experiences:
All three classes can, of course. be
managed, as far as maintenance cost
is concerned, at about the same gen
eral figures But in respect so working
efficiency, if we rate the LOO pound
horse at 100 per cent, liberal allow.
ance is made if the 1,450 pound horse
is credited at 80 per cent, and The
1,200 pound horse at 80 per cent. The
colts bred to good drafs sire will
average somewhere about 1,5D0
pounds; colts from 1850 pound mares
1000 to LOO pounds, and colts from
LOO pound mares, 1880 to 2,0J0
pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight
colts necessarily make their full
weight only at maturity and they will
not be fit to sell until they are four
and one-half or five years of age. The
same is true of the medium weight
colts, but buyers arS securing the
country for heavy colts. Every goid
gelding is gathered up at three years
of age The heavier colts sell earlier,
or if carried until they are older and
then put on the market. the prices ad.
vance accordingly. Colts weighing
around 1900 pounds will not bring
more than $140 to SIZE on the average,
because they come in competition
with the great gllrt of common
light drafters on the market Those
weighing around 1850 pounds to LOO
pounds will bring $500 to $24O, and
heavy weight geldings will bring $500
to $3.50. The heavy mares therefore
produce colts that bring from one-
third to twice as much money as the
lower weight mares.

being an estimate of the immigration
from the United States for 1912, the
consumption of coal will naturally In
crease.
The agricultural districts of Canada
have now become 80 we'll known
throughout the world, and the vacant
area of splendid land is still SO great
that 1t may be expected that the num-
bers mentioned will increase from
year to year, and it will not be many
years before the immigration figures
will reach the million mark.
1t may be asked what is there to
warrant this large immigration? With
millions of acres of land, capable Of
producing twenty-five to forty bushels
of wheat to the acre; or, If in oats,
from forty to ninety, and even as high
as a hundred bushels per acre, or the
same splendid yields of fax or arr
ley, there Is ample inducement to at
tract these hundreds Of thousands who

mains not only the agricultural wealth
Of the country, but there are also the
social advantages, the home-making
privileges. apart altogether from the
financial opportunities, there is the life
and the energy born from the knowl-
edge that the settler is more than
unit in the upbuilding, in the making
of a country that will soon rank
amongst the first in the nations of
the world. There is no desire on the
