Rohemia,s koekL Maze.

The Rocky maze of Frachov. near
Jacin. In northern Bohemia, is a veri-
table natural curiosity. 1t has been
we'll described as a gigantic freak in
stone" To enter the labyrinth with
out a guide is a perilous proceeding.
for an unwary adventurer would prob
ably speedily be lost in the tortuous
windings of the maze. where the paths
are so narrow and crooked and the
cliffs on the side so high that the ex-
plorer soon loses all idea of locality.
In days of fiery persecution the Mora
Wan and Bohemian brethren's secret
prayer meetings used to be held here.
just as the early Christians assembled
to worship in the catacombs. The
cliffs are honeycombed with cells. and
at the far end of the maze is rock
castle. where in the old days robber
baron lived and took toll of all way
farers. The shape of some of the
rocks is very curious. There are. for
instance. the bishop and inter" the
Madonna and the child" and many
others.-LondOn Sketch.

PortunaI,s Prison Of Silence.

Entombed in a grim castle on the
outskirts of Lisbon are some of the
most miserable men on earth. These
are inmates of Portugaps prison of
silence In this building everything
that human ingenuity can suggest to
render the lives of it's prisoners a hor-
rible. maddening torture is done. The
corridors. piled tier on tier five stories
high. extend from a common center
like the spOkes of huge wheel. The
cells are narrow. tomblike. and within
each stands a coffin. The attendants
creep about in felt slippers. No one is
allowed to utter a word. The silence
is that OF the grave Once a day the
cell doors are unlocked. and the half
thousand wretches march out. clothed
In shrouds and with faces covered by
masks. for it is part of this hideous
punishment that none may look upon
the countenance of his fellow prison
ers. Few of them endure this torture
for more than ten years.-Manchester

Monday was held in the United Pres
byterian church here Thursday at
two O'Clock in the afternoon, Rev.

HAY CAPS FOR ALFALFA.

Alfalfa should be raked and either
put in the barn or if it is not sufficient.
ly dry, put into hay cocks. 1t is mat
ter of economy to have two or three
hundred hay caps (made of six-cent
cloth one yard square) to use in case
of bad weather. You may think this
is considerable bother, but poor al
falfa is poor stuff, and when we re-
member that good alfalfa brings us in
actual results nearly as great returns
as wheat bran, we can better realize
the importance Of taking care of it
If any of us had 500 hay cocks OF
BRAN in the field, we would take care
Of them, but with alfalfa we think OF
it as lust hay"
These cloths may have wooden pegs
or some sort of weights attached to
each corner to hold them in place; the
pegs can be pushed into the hay to
hold the corners fast. Hay caps viii
soon pay for themselves in finer
quality Of hay guaranteed by then

Blooms From Split Bulbs.

A novel experiment is that of grow
ing two hyacinth bulbs together. Two
bulbs are selected which are known
to flower about the same time, al
though in other respects the more di-
verse they are the better. Each is cut
from the crown to the base with a
sharp knife in such a way that the
central shoot is exposed but not injur-
ed. The two larger portions of the
bulbs are then tied together, the cut
portions facing one another. The dou-
BILE bulb is then potted in the usual
way. If all has gone well a single
stem comes up. while the flower may
be blue on one side and pink on the
other. according to the colors Of the
bulbs. The result is highly mystifying
to gardeners who are not lin the
know" The experiment is often car
ried out by the Dutch growers and
rarely fails if carefully executed

This experiment was conducted at
the Kansas Agricultural college:
The pigs shown in the accompanying
chart were litter mates. The larger
pig was fed on a ration of corn and
alfalfa hay; the smaller on corn alone.
Several filters of weanling pigs were
equally divided into two lots. The
pigs were carefully chosen as to
weight and thriftiness, so that each lot
represented fair average OF the total
number of pigs used in the expert
ment.
The experiment was carried on for
a period of eight months. At the end
of this time the pigs fed on corn and
alfalfa hay were in excellent condi-

Must Have Protein.

The 60-pound pigs lacked protein,
that element required in growing
animals, to develop bone and mus
Gle, blood, nerve and tissue-that
which builds the frame-the very
thing that the pigs do not get when
fed upon corn alone.
Corn is deficient in protein and has
an abundance of starch and sugar.
Neither alfalfa nor corn when fed
alone will give the best results, but a
combination of the two make a per-
fectly balanced ration.
A balanced ration is a combination
of feeds containing elements necessary
for the proper physical development of
the animal. Protein, the most essen
tial element in animal feed, builds the
frame of the body while corn is essen
TALLY valuable for the production of
fat
The bones Of the ''corn-alfalfa" lot of
pigs were double the size of the lot
fed on corn alone and stood a breaking
strain of 1870 pounds as against $40
pounds for the lot fed on a single ra-
ton of corn.

NORTHERN BORDER
EXPORTS GROWING
They Increased 22o Per Cent.
in Decade of 1902 to
1912.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March u
The increasing share of our foreign
commerce handled by gulf, northern
border and Pacific ports is illustrated
in the figures of 1912. While impor
of Atlantic ports increased about 50
per cent. in the decade from 1902 To
1912 those OF the northern border
ports increased 100 per cent. of the
Pacific ports about 12O per cent and
of the gulf ports about 200 per cent
| On the export side the contrast is
even more striking, the increase in
exports through Atlantic ports hav-
| ing been but about so per cent,
through Pacific ports 50 per cent,
| through gulf ports 116 per cent. and
through the northern border ports
about 220 per cent.
| Boston shows a marked increase in
| imports during the ten-year period
from $7s,000,000 to s151,000,000 Ex-
ports, however, declined from $751;
900, 900 to S66 900, 900. New York shows
an increase of about 81 per cent in
| imports and rs per cent. in exports,
| the figures being, of imports, 1891, 000,-
| 900 in 1902 and $1,06S, 100000 in 1872.
and of eports $492, 900, 900 in 1902 and
1896, 900 900 in 1912. Philadelphia
shows an increase in imports from
$55, 600. 900 in 1902 to 93O0o,000 in 1872
but in exports a slight decline. from
| SIC, 00o,0 900 in 1902 to s7S00O,000 in 1912
New Orleans sHews imports in
1902, of $25,000, 0O6 and in 1912 $S3,-
900, 900, and exports in 1902 of $l31,-
900, 600, in 1912 Sill. 900, 0O0 At Gall
weston imports increased from little
| over $1,000, 900 in 1902 to $4,000, 900 in
| 1912, and exports from $95, 000 600 in
1902 to $685. 900, 5000 in 1912, Galveston
thus ranking second in the list of ex-
porting ports of the United States.
On the Pacific coast San Francisco
shows an increase in imports from
| $50, 900, 900 to $63, 100000 and exports
from $3S, 900. 900 to $50. 900, 900 during
the period 1902 to 1912, while Puget
Sound shows an increase in imports
| from $13,000.000 in 1902 to $4S DOC, 600
| in 1912, and exports from $35, 900
| in 1902 to $67, 100000 in 1912
The northern border districts show
very large increases in both imports
| and exports, the increase in imports
! for the entire group being from 49,
900, 600 in 1902 to $151 100000 in 1912;
in exports from $4,000 900 in 1902 to
1864 000, 900 in 1912. This growth in the
trade through the northern border
ports parallels closely the growth in
our trade with Canada during the same
period, the exports to Canada having
grown from Sill, 900, 900 in 1902 to $685.
900, 600 in 1912. and the imports from
Canada from $53,OO0,0oO in 1902 to
| 1921. 900, 600 in 1912
The interior ports, to which mer-
chandse passes direct from the bor-
der for appraisement and payment
of duties at these ports, and which
now number over 20. show very large
gains in direct importations during
the ten-year period, the total value
of their imports being for 1902 less
than $3,000000 dollars and 1912 over
| 1923, 600. 900.
