Measles, which is causing anxiety to
the authorities and pain to the stu
dents of Osborne college. is an ailment
that has been sadly misjudged, says
the London Chronicle. For centuries
it is mentioned in Arabian writings
as early as the tenth century-it was
regarded (and treated) as a variety of
smallpox and when that fallacy was
discovered, it was generally confound-
ed with scarlet fever. No race Of the
earth is immune from measles.

General Logan sleeps is intended only
for enlisted men who served in the
regular army and without regard to
which war they saw service in-or, for
that matter, whether they saw service
in any war.
Not only has this home no connec
tion with any of the volunteer homes,
national or state, but it receives no ap,
preparation from the government, be-
ing wholly maintained by the enlisted
men of the regular army, who con
tribute to its support out of theiE pay
on much the same theory that man
invests in life insurance. This is the
forerunner of all the soldiers homes
now scattered across the country from
Virginia to California, having been
established ten years before the out.
break of the Civil war. That the home
is a decidedly prosperous institution
may be inferred from the fact that
it has several million dollars to its
cridit in the United States treasury
and its buildings, largely of white
marble are set in grounds compris'
ing more than 500 acres Of beautiful
land that cost about one-third of
million dollars, and is maintained as
a park with recreation grounds, pa
vilions where band concerts are held,
and ten miles of graded, macada-
mized roads winding through selected
groves of native and foreign trees and
high, open ground that commands
splendid views of the capital city.
A man must have seen 20 years OF
service in the regular army ere he is
entitled tn a home in this institution
unless, mayhap, he has been disabled
by wounds or disease in the service
and in the line Of duty. He must also
be honorably discharged from the
army before he can admitted to the
home, so that all the inmates Of the
institution are civilians.
Marching past the Logan vault on
Memorial day one may see inmates OF
home who have served anywhere from
20 to 80 years in the regular army.
Their ages range all the way from
twenty-four to ninety, but more than
half of all the veterans are between
the ages of sixty and ninety. Several
score of these old warriors saw service
in the war with Mexico, whereas con
siderably more than 500 of them par.
ticipated in the Civil war.

Watch the passing automobiles. Sit

In his condition of coma, but he must
have smelt the monkeys. This re-
minded him of his native jungle and
must have awakened him to the fact
that he was hungry. He began to
wriggle. Oh, oh, shivers and goose

gentle things get their tails around
the trunk of a tree and then reach out
and grab their victim and squeeze the
life out of him or it.
The python wriggled his tail loose
knocking Hunter and La Roche galley

leg. La Roche gave a yell, as well
he might. The whole body of the py'

jiu-jitsu on La Roche's leg.
Snyder put the big, ugly head UNI
der his arm and choked him with all
his might. Keenan, and Hunter wreS-
tied with the tail, and finally, between
choking and hauling they got the tail
away from its bearings. Then Snyder
slammed the head into the python

snake after the head, landing the i'm

DRIED BEET PULP
AS A DAIRY FEED

The feeding of small herd of dairy
cows without a silO from a limited
amount of runout tillage land presents
quite a problem-that is, if a profit is
made, writes a New Hampshire farm
er in the Rural New Yorker. While
there is now no question about the
value and economy of silage as feed,
it is nevertheless a fact that thousands
of farmers are still without a silo.
The best substitute we have found for
silage is dried beet pulp, which we
commenced feeding soon after twas
put Oh the market.
Previous to using the pulp we fed
the grains commonly considered best
for dairy cows-viZ. cOrnmeal bran.
cottonseed meal. gluten feed, hominy,
etc-in various combinations, depend
ing on the cost of each and kind of
roughage available. But we had more
or less trouble from garget, caked I'D
der, cows off feed, and they would
generally shrink in milk much sooner
than we thought they should. The beet
pulp did net perhaps cause the cows to
give a greatly increased flow of milk,
but there were much less variation
and Shrinkage and the troubles above
mentioned disappeared. We have fed
The Adair County news., 1913-12-31

the pulp both wet and dry and can see
no particular difference in results. If
fed dry COWS should have access to
water at least twice daily.
The rule we follow quite closely, but
with some variation for amount of
grain per cow, is one pound of grain
for each three pounds of milk. The
maximum grain feed is continued IN
til milk flow is very small, when we
reduce to from four to six pounds per
COW and give that amount until within
one week Of her time to freShen- Each
cows grain is weighed, and we are
exact about this to the ounce. By eX-
perimenting we found that to COM
mence reducing the cows grain ration
as her milk flow diminished would
cause her to shrink more rapidly,
whereas if same amount was contin-
ued right along she would be encour-
aged to keep up as near as possible to
her full flow of milk We of course
watch the COWS closely and, if any IN
favorable symptoms appear, imme-
diately reduce the ration. but this very
rarely happens. By feeding in this way
as the cows milk flow diminishes she
commences to put on more flesh, and
the unborn calf also gets needed nour-
ishment
