plicants, so that we may at once
have the necessary surveys in or.
der to place the question before
our people in a concrete and bus

included in the amount voted, if
the election fails, of which there
is very little fear, we can easily
manage to cover out of our 1915
budget.

NOT EASY TO SEE ICEBERGS
Deadly Menaces to Navigation Said to
Be Almost Invisible at
Night.

Among laymen there is genuine sur
prise that on clear night-dark
though II was-a great ship could pillow
into the heart of an iceberg before
discovering its presence. To the maui
teal mind it is entirely plausible.
At about twenty-five knots Of speed,
he Titanic was covered nearly stat
ute mile and one third every three
minutes, and 1t takes time for a ship
900 feet in length and drawing nearly
forty feet of water to Swing" on its
course line. 1t takes time to stop So
900 tons of dead weight when moving
at that rate Of speed.
In daytime, even, unless the sun Is
shining brightly against its sides, a
berg is not the glazing sheetlike thing
that many seem to think 1t is. On a
| cloudy day they show distinctly gray
and dark, while on moonless, cloudy
night they only, at the best, will show
as blackness, more pronounced, against
that other blackened screen where
murky cloud and murky waters meet.
The newest, whitest, snowiest sails
that ever drove a racing yacht to vic
tory show as black as blacklist night
against a somber midnight sky. In
other words, they are invisible short
way of, as was the berg whose jagged
and submerged extensions tore the

Mr.. Lunn, discussing this dictum

brought home one evening bottle OF
champagne and a lobster.

since 1907 have had a hard struggle
to find trade, and what they found was
generally at a loss, are now over

tened article is a good seller at good
price and a good profit, but the low
grade stuff is hard to sell and gives
little profit.
Here is what Prof Smith has to say
of the work of feeding three lots of
steers:
Our experiments with three car
loads of cattle indicate clearly that
corn silage and stover are equally as
valuable as hulls for feeding beef cat
tie and much more profitable to feed.
The profit made in feeding the three
lots of cattle is of minor Importance,
as the results would vary with a
change in the purchases or selling
price of cattle, or the price of feed
What is of permanent Importance is the
cost per pound of gain from the diff
ferent rations, and the price per ton
the cattle we're able to pay for rough
age.
With cotton seed meal at 2400 per
ton and freight charges of $4,000 on
60 cattle. lot No, 1 paid $3.50 per ton
I for silage, lot No, paid 1871 per ton
for stover, and lot No. 8 paid $500 per
ton for hulls.
The prices obtained for the silage
and stover is fully double the cost of
production, thus leaving the farm a
good profit for growing them.
The cattle fed silage made greater
and cheaper gains than the other two
lots, and took on a better finish
The cattle fed stover made slightly
better gains than the lot fed on hulls
and at less cost.
The cotton seed meal required pei

Remarkably Ingenious Are Piaythinss
Provided for the Children Of
the Orient.

Europe and America turn out. for
the edification of their children, many
ingenious toys, but the Occidental
youngsters have nothing to compare
with the strange expanding water-toys
with which the children Of the far east
have for centuries amused themselves.
These are placed in small wooden
boxes similar to the little paint boxes
80 often seen in our own country.
They have the appearance Of soiled
shavings, broken matches and dilapi'
dated toothpicks, but when thrown
into the water the ingenious toys at
once exhibit properties that show
them to be considerably more than
mere bits of stick. The wood OF these
toys has been Kindred, and imme-

to absorb the water and to expand
almost indefinitely. AS it increases
