Speaking Correct English.

A University of Wisconsin pro-
fessor speaking to a Council of
Teachers in Chicago urged the
organization of a society for the
prevention of cruelty to the En-
glish language. If formed, this
society would take its place with
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals and the So
ciety for the Prevention of Use
less Giving as public benefac-
tors. The English language is
beautiful but it is "butchered"
to such an extent by so many
people that sometimes it is dis
torted.beyond recognition. The
worst offense against it is the
use of slang. Advocates of slang
say its use makes the language
more effective and the meaning
more apparent, but this is not
true. The Bible has no slang;
George Washington's farewell
address or Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech contain nothing like "get
the hook" or nothing doing"
Shakespeare found it unnecessa-
ryi to resort to slang when
he .Epenned tn e most mas
terful English the world has ev-
er known. The great orators of
the world, Burke, and Mark An
thony, and scores of others didn't
use it.
Slang should be abandoned,
and the expressiveness of the
language would not suffer. Let
everybody consider themselves
an honorary member of the new
ly proposed society.

Curious Time.Tellers.

Among the Hindus clocks are
regarded as great curosities, and
often half-a-dozen or more time
pieces are found in the apart
ments of the wealthy Hindus-
tanees,
They are not used as time
pieces. but simply for ornament,
since the old-fashioned way of
telling the hour in India, by cal
culating the number of bamboo
lengths the sun has Travelled
above the horizon, is entirely
satisfactory to the natives.
1t is said that in the country
police stations in India, where
the European division of the
hours is observed, time is meas
ured by placing in a tub of wa
ter a copper pot in which a small
hole has been bored. 1t is sup
posed that it will take one houl
for the water to leak into the pol
so as to fill it and sink it. Wher
the policeman sees that the DO
has disappeared he strikes thu
hour on a bell.like gong. If h,
is smoking or doing the cope
pot may have disappeared sever
al minutes before he discover
the fact. but the hour is when h
strikes the gong.

TANKAGE FOR HOGS.
Fed With Discretion, 1t Is Profitable
Pork Producer,

Fed With Discretion, Ii Is Profitable
Pork Producer.
A great many farmers are beginning
to use tankage. l find it beneficial and
in large degree profitable where hogs
are kept. writes 81. w. Swope in the
American Agriculturist There isn't
anything about good tankage or meat
meal that is in any way injurious to
hogs. whether young or old. Good
takage contains over 80 per cent pro-
tein, and for that reason it answers an
important question in animal economy.
1t is good feed to use with corn and
highly palatable. 1t need not be fed
in large quantities. and. especially
when beginning to feed tankage, one
part tankage to about ten parts of corn
is a very satisfactory ration.
Tankage is animal matter from
which the grease and oil have been ex-
tracted. This consists Of meat scraps
and bone from meat markets and pack
ing houses picked up fresh in a large
tank and thoroughly cooked at high
temperature. The grease is removed
from the surface and tankage is then
dried thoroughly. after which it is
ground. screened and placed in bags
for shipment. The high temperature
employed in cooking destroys all dis
ease germs that might be present.
Tankage, therefore. all summed up is a
pure. safe feed for hogs. 1t contains
s to 10 per cent moisture. and in a
good, dry place it can be kept for an
indefinite period of time.
l have fed tankage to hogs of all
ages for several years now and with
excellent results in every case. With
the high cost Of feed little tankage
fed with the regular ration to the
hogs each day will be found a good
feed investment. The cost of feeding
tankage seems to increase a tri6e ev-
cry year, but am sure it will pay all
who can use it to do so as long as the
price is as reasonable as it is today,
considering its protein contents com.
pared with other feeds.
Tankage may be fed dry, either alone
or with grain rations. I have found
it very satisfactory in a thin slop.
One station says that a ration made
up of one part tankage and six OF
eight parts corn has proved TO be tbs
most satisfactory. and a greater gain
per 100 pounds was secured in this
manner of feeding.

Stand Behind Wilson.
Cincinnati Post.)

The stand which Wilson has
taken throughout this whole
Mexican muss is one which will
write his name high on the roll
of the worlds great emanci-
pators. Just review what he
has done:
First, he set down the princi.
pie that the United States
wouldn't Latin-American repub-
lies by treachery, fraud or face.
Finally, he declines to smear
with blood the down-trodden pc
ons of Mexico because some of
their oppressors are in quarrel
over the spoils.
What he is trying to do is to
use the worlds best opinion to
bring an end to pillage and ex-
ploitation and a beginning to the
development of honest rule Of,
by and for people.
1t is an undertaking high, no
BILE and fine. Instead of grab
and gouge it aims to aid and
serve. If it succeeds it will put
to shame the traditional robber
diplomacy of most of the nations
of the earth. But if it fails, the
failure cannot be permanent, for
nothing that is right can be for
ever held down.
Let us not assume that it is 60
ing to fail. Let us assume that
it is going to win. Thus assum-
ing, let us back it up not by de-
handing the sacrifice of limo
cent blood and the creation of a
shambles, but by resisting the
pirate outcry-by letting the pa
tient, skillful captain on quarter
deck know that we, the crew,
are not going to reverse his sail.

GERMANY 0UTSTRIPS FRANCE
IN MILITARY AERONiUTICS

Paris, March l5,--trruch opinion is
waking up to the fact that GERMANY
in the sphere of military aerouautics,
is leaving France badly in the rear.
General LacroiN and a number OF
other eminent stratcgists unite in de
claring that France has nothing To
show against Germanys aerial cruis-
ers but fleet of penny steamers. and
they strongly dcprecatc the attitude
taken generally in France towards di-
rigibles. They think the sudden do
velopment of aerOplanes caused an en-
tirely unwarrauted enthusiasm for
those machines, and a corresponding
1isparagement of drigiblvs. General
Lacroix holds that the opposition to
rigid dirigibles ia France Is quite
wrong, the supply type of airship fa-
vorcd by the French military authors
ties is, from the military point of view
exceedingly risky, a pin prick suffic-
ing to destroy them. Air ships of the
German rigid type, with their several
compartments, are capable Of with
standing considerable damage before
being put absolutely out of action.
