than dairy COWS, as dairies are natur-
ally located elsewhere and the pulp
has to be brought to the COWS.
Altogether it can be seen that the
feeding of fresh pulp has it's disadvan-
tages, especially since the manufacture
er gets SO little for the pulp that a
fairly large amount is run through the
sewers every year, being run out when
inconvenient to keep it. Drying, on
the other hand, will be profitable to
the manufacturer, as well as making a
more convenient feed.
It's Value Here. Dried pulp is of
especial and unique value in Califor-
MIA, far and away better than in the
East, and for several reasons. The
first is that concentrates are fairly
cheap and abundant in the East and
rather expensive in California In
the next place beet pulp is just the
opposite chemically from what they
need in the East to balance up their
rations for dairy COWS, but exactly
what is needed here to make a good
ration, and it is needed badly.
Through the East corn is plentiful,
and with the natural forage makes a
ration that is excessively rich in car
bohydrates and scant of protein.
Nearly all the commercial concentrat-
es at hand there contain large sup
plies of protein which balances things
up nicely with the corn. The dried
beet pulp, it Is true, is of value for its
cheapness, palatability, and good
phi biological effect, but chemically it
is the opposite of what they need in a
ration.
In California conditions are exactly
reversed and strongly so. Alfalfa, ex-
cept in coast counties, is the one great
food abundant, available and nu-
tritious. 1t is true that the COWS
thrive wonderfully on it alone, but it
is certain that they would do very
much better FOR small change of diet.
That is a subject that has been thresh-
ed out many times.
The alfalfa that is digestible con-
tains only 3. 3 parts carbohydrates and
fat to one part Of protein. The ideal
is about 40 parts to one, although in
this state four to one would be entire
ly satisfactory. This is written with

True Thrift,

A certain millionaire, who owes his
fortune to his thrift and economy,
tells this story of a bookkeeper to
illustrate the way in which those
qualities work to the advantage of
their possessor:
81 once made up my mind" said
the bookkeeper, that I would become
the owner of a gold watch. I saved
up the money for it in this way:
When / felt like eating a 50-cent
luncheon I ate a 25-cent one instead
and put the other quarter aside for
my watch fund. You will hardly be-
lieve it, but in less than six months
l had saved money enough to pur-
chase the watch"
"But you don't seem to have bought
it," objected his friend.
Well, no. When / found how cas-
lily l could get along without the So
cent luncheons / concluded l could
get along without the gold watch,
and the watch fund is growing into a
hcuse-and-lot fund now."-Youth's

"All men on the road have the ex-
%perience of humping into a stone wall

p%erience with Smith, up in Haverhill.
No matter what | had or at what 1t
was priced, Smith eve wanted any
thing. Still he bought regularly from
several competitors. He wouldn't go
to lunch with me, nor would he accept
any of the other attentions that are
usually rendered good buyers.

"It's a funny thing about him. the
salesman went on, but he always goes
home to lunch, nc matter how busy
he is. Jones told me the other day
that it was because his wife was the
boss of the household and made him

he is unwilling to spend the money

good team and take me for a ride
Smith didn't want to do it, but there

This Britisher loved his role as

Food for the Shipwrecked.

Caches or depots for food and
clothing have recently been estab-
tlished by the various governments on
most of the dangerous islands under
their dominion. And On many of the
Others there are sign posts and in
structions as to how to get to the
nearest island where there is such a
depot. They are kept in huts built
expressly for the purpose or in nat
rural caves in the cliffs, where all the
provisions will remain dry and keep
for a long time. AS an example, down
in the Indian ocean are the islands
of Amsterdam, st. Paul and Kersue-
len, all dangerous spots for vessels
in a storm. On each of these the
French warship Eure has established
depots containing n~ecessarieS OF all
kinds for castaways, no matter what
their nationality may be. At Amster-
dam island, in a large cavern on a
hillside, there are supplies of beef,
biscuits, underclothes, blankets and
some matches inciosed in a hermetic-
ally sealed metal box. There are
also in the same cave several cots,
a cooking pot and dry wood, left by
fishermen who occasionally visit
there. Cabbage and celery, fish and
Holsters abound on the island and in
the waters about it and castaways
could live there indefinitely. The de-
pot is clearly marked out by a board
bearing the legend, France, Wires,
Vetements pour marriages, Eure."

Surgery to Prevent Murder.

DR.. Echols Ardman, criminologist,
has come to the conclusion that the
form of insanity that causes murder is
a small bone pressing against part Of
the brain and that a small operation,
removing the bone that Is pressing
and inserting a thin silver plate, will
turn the murderer into a kind hearted
person.
The trouble, DR.. Ardman c~onfesses,
that Is hardest to overcome is to find
the man with criminal tendencies and
perform the operation before and not
after the crime. The murderer usually
is harmless in appearance and seems
normal before committing a crime,
and there Is no way to tell If he Is
~euffering from this form of insanity.
