Browning, too, had completed q

he was twelve but his earliest artistic
effort was a painting of a cottage and

TESTING OATS.
Valuable Experiments at State Farm
HighmOOr.

In connection with the oat variety
test work of the Maine Experiment
Station, experiments are being con-
tinued in the breeding of improved
strains at the State Farm at High
moor.
From the test plots grown at High
moor in 1901 there We're selected
more than 500 individual oat plants,
representing a number of differenf Va
rieties and the cream of the oats in
the field. More than half of the 800
were discarded as not coming up TO
the standard set, either in respect TO
yield, or strength of straw, or some
other characteristic. The emaining Sc
lected plants some 200 were planted
at Highmoor in 1911 on the heal
row" system. At the end of the sea-
son each of these head rows was har-
vested and measured, weighed and
threshed separately.
AS a result of this study more then
half again were discarded From the
original 500 selections made in $40
there will y p-Cpagated this season
only about so, and each of these will
be grown in plots having an area Of
10000 of an acre each. In this way
these selections will be subjeCted u
still further tests, and at the same
time a sufficient amount of seed viii
be obtained from those which proved
to be the best for propagation in 1913
on a much more extended scale.
1t is expected that these expert
ments will enable farmers to Get
much better average crop of oats than
than they have now, which amounts
only to 80 or 40 bushels to the ere.

LESSON OF INTEREST
FIGURES THAT ARE CALCULATED
TO sTAooER IMAGINATION.
What Old King Midas Might Have 40
cumuisted Starting With the Mod
est Saving Of Ten Cent?
Week.

Why didn't King Midas, the gold
lover, try to save ten cents q week?
says the Chicago Tribune. He could
have given the world wonderful ex.
ample of the value of the saving hab'
It. Besides, he would have left money
for the members OF his family alive
today. Midas was one of the kings
of Phrygia. As the Phrygian line was
wiped out by the Cimmerians about
$40 B. c., we may assume he lived
about 500 B. c., or at least 2,711 years
ago.
II King Midas had started in saw
ing ten cents a week he would have
saved q dime, therefore, on each OF
the 140,870 weeks. This would make
him the neat little sum Of s14,097.20.
Although not fortune In these days,
$14.09720 IL quite a fair sum to save
by giving up one cigar week. But
there Is more to follow.
In those days of political upheavai
and commercial uncertainty. capital
was entitled to bigger return on
it's investment than 1t would be today.
The risk was much greater. Though
we have no actual records of Phryg.
ian rates of usury 1t Is fair to assume
that the Midas account drew ten per
cent. interest compounded annually
for at least the first 1000 years. or un'
til the commercial world had reached
a comparatively recent stage of de-
velopment.
Beginning, therefore, 800 years be
fore Christ, Midas put into his savings
ten cents every week. At the end
Of the first ten weeks he had dollar
The interest On one dollar for one
year Is not great, even at ten per
cent, but 1t adds another dime to the
ten already saved At the end Of the
second year there Is something more
than two dimes to be added.
AT the end of the first hundred
years the accumulation on the first
dollar at ten per cent. compounded
would be $13,7S0.66, Thus Midas, in
the year 700 B. c. would have had
$13,7S0.66, resulting from his first ten
weeks savings. The compromising
gees on through the next century SC
that at the end of 200 years. in the
year 600 B. c., Midas would have had
$189, 1906, $1,000 from his first dollar.
At the end of the next hundred
years, or in 500 B. c., the results from
those first ten dimes Fat away would
be $3.50, 038, 9,1O0.63 Continuing
this compromising through the follow.
ing 2,411 years 1t is not a complicated
mathematical problem to arrive at the
sum Midas would have today from his
drst one dollar saved.
Remember. moreover, this sum
which would be up among the I'M
countable trillions Of dollars. would
represent the increment OF only one
dollar put away by Midas. Midas him
self, busily saving dimes, would have
started a new series Of dollar pyra
mids every ten weeks. At the end OF
the first years saving he would have
started Ave and a half Of these stu
pendous fortunes. To compare any
one Of these with the 14,097.20 he
would have saved II he had received
no interest. certainly represents the
interest habit in favorable light.

Egypt to Reclaim Million Aeres

One OF the most costly and conpre-
hensive drainage projects for the
reclamation OF lands undertaken by
any government in the world, and GER
tainly the greatest enterprise Of its
kind in Mediterranean countries. has
just been begun by the Egyptian gov.
eminent to make cultivable 100000
acres OF fertile land In the delta OF
lower Egypt. The retaining of these
lands will necessitate an expenditure
approaching $15,000,0O0 for drainage
and approximately a like amount for
Irrigation. The work as planned will
require over four years and will be
brought to completion about the end
Of 1915. The principal object Of the
project is to redeem tract of unpro
ductive land and bring a fertile but
now worthless region OF the delta I'm.
der cotton cultivation. When this is
done It is roughly estimated that the
Increase in value of the reclaimed and
improved land will approximate $780,
100000. The land to be reclaimed Is
80 per cent government owned.

shack door open, as was his custom,
80 that the hedgehogs might come In
and clean UP the floor. Inasmuch as
the principal items of the camp menu
are baked beans, pork and other
dishes rich In fats, considerable grease
is spilled upon the floor In the course
of a week, and the average hedgehog
will at any time risk his neck for bit

shaped teeth eating away all the wood
that held trace of grease. So on re-
turning to camp Monday morning the
owner was enabled to sweep up and
enjoy the luxury OF a clean house for
another week About the only objec-
ton to this system lay In the fact that
the camp must have a new floor each
year.
The same woodsman tells how, late
in February, a pair of white footed
wood mice stole into his camp from
their home In the forest and made
nest in acorns under the bunk. The
first thing the little fellows did was to
eat hole In a bag of cracked corn
and carry away more than quart OF
the contents. The whole bag was
sorted for the largest fragments, every
one of which was denuded of its GOV.
ering and freed from all grains of
meal. The offerings were put in a
heap near the nest and covered over
with strips of newspapers.
When these mice had been installed
in their new quarters for about
week they began to construct luxuri-
Gus couch. The outside was made of
shredded newspapers and ribbons OF
birch bark. The lining was of horse
hair taken from an old chair.

The Duck and the Trout.

AS Virginian was fishing below a
milldam near village in his state, SO
a contributor writes to the Companion,
he accidentally threw his line across a
duck, which suddenly turned round,
twisted the gut about its neck, and
fixed the dropper-fiy in Its breast.
Thus entangled and hooked, the
duck soon broke off the gut above the
dropper, and sailed down the stream
with the other fly trailing hebind 1t.
1t had no gone far before trout about
a pound and half in weight took the
f1y.
Then began an extraordinary con-
test. While the trout struggled, the
terror of the duck was very evident;
1t flutteved its wings and dragged the
fish. When the trout grew more quiet
the duck gave way, and suffered itself
to be drawn under some bushes, at the
edge of the stream. When the strug-
gle was renewed the ducks head WAS
frequently drawn under the water.
BY chance, however. the gut got
across branch that hung downward
into the water, when the duck, taking
advantage of the purchase that this
circumstance gave 1t, dragged the fish
from its hole and obliged 1t to show
Its head above water. Then It became
a contest Of life and death. The trout
was In it's last agonies and the duck
In a very weak state, when the gut
broke and suffered each to go his own
way.
The man who saw this strange COM
bat stoutly afflrms the truth of every
detail-Youth's Companion.
