Hjuher Equity.

Bismarck used to delight in telling
the story of how, when foraging for
food with two companions in an al
most deserted village, he came upon
a man from whom he procured five
eggs. Unable to divide five among
three, he began by swallowing two;
then, calling his companions, shared
the three remaining eggs with them

limmilk and buttermilk have about
equal feeding value for pigs. The full
value of these feeds can not be obtain
ed unless fed with grain. The value
varies with the proportion of skimmilk
given. When from one to three pounds

Blackstrap molasses is a crude prod
uct made from sugar cane, and is
considered very good feed for dairy
cows. There is a similar product made
from sugar beets that is usually consid-
cred less desirable than that made from
sugar cane. on account of the fact that
it is bitter, rendering it less palatable.
Feet molasses is sometimes mixed
with dried beet pulp and other materi
ais forming comparatively desirable
combinations. In some of the Euro
pean countries it is mixed with peat
and used as cow feed.

Despite the fact that the fire waste Of
this country is annually ten times that
of Europe, the superiority of all American
fire protective apparatus is acknowledged
by the void. The fire companies in
American cities are the best drilled In
the world. and the fire-fighting machinery
is the most improved. At an interna-
tional contest held in Paris several wears
ago an American fire company captured
the highest prize and won the plaudits
of all nations. 1t ran up to a supposed

place in New York last month as a fea-

Fire Engineers motor-drawn vehicles
were SO much in the majority that the
occasional group of finely groomed FIRE
horses won applause from the crowd. The
advantage of speed reliability and un-

and a collection of heavy water jars.
These are passed from man to man upon

story. But as the houses are all of
stone and a fire hardly occurs there once
in decade the service does not seem

In 1905 they were .e-Organized. Since
then training school for fire chiefs has
been established in ST. Petersburg, which
is a model of it's kind
The students are supported by the gov

Of buildings with view to determining
their fire hazard. Such a school has
lately been established in New York
under the direction Of the fire prevention
bureau. and the example set by Russia
In this respect is likely TO- be. followed
The matter of fire protection must rest
largely with individual citizens in every
country. 1t is impossible for the best
organized companies to save all the lives
In a panic-stricken crowd. or to protect
property from destruction when the
flames are once we'll under way. The
establishment Of fire. drills In all build

congregated is a protective measure not
to be overlooked. 1t Is obligatory now
In most Of the public schools Of this
country. and is in general use In all large
factories and workrooms. 1t Is not al
ways satisfactory however. A room full
of small school children may be thrown
into confusion in a drill by the prank
OF a misehievous boy, and even In
large crowd of adults some one is like'y
to upset the uniformity OF the drill. Con-
