EET TASHINGTON.-If you want to
W know your exact horsepower and

To Professor Langworthy the hu-
man body is but machine. He is
the chief Of division of nutritive in
vest1gations, and solves the problems
OF food values. Like any other en-
gine, the human body has maxi
mum capacity of SO many foot pounds
of energy, and to generate this, GER
tain amount of fuel in the form Of
food is necessary. Doctor Langwor-
thy makes it his business to find what
food is adapted for the best results
from the majority.
He described his unique depart
ment in his workshop, surrounded by
an endless series of laboratory instru-
ments, ovens, graduated scales and
queer tubes and pipes where every
thing under the sun is concocted and
cooked up, to see how many calories,
how much nitrogen and how much en-
ergy it will give the human body when
it's eaten.

Uncle Sam Can Gauge Horsepower Of Human Body

In the laboratory is a respiration
calorimeter, a chamber in which
Uncle Sans scientists put subjects to
measure the energy which the subject
gives off while he is engaged in diff
ferent tasks and while fed different
diets of food.
The calOrimeter is a valuable in
strument in many ways. 1t enables
the government to recommend certain
diets as being of the greatest use to
men and women in different occupa-
tions. and it enables them to recon-
mend combination of foods that are
cheap, but at the same time sustain
ing.
The apparatus itself is six and a
half feet square and of the same
height. There is a window in the
side to permit light for reading or
studying, couch, to permit the sub
ject to lie down; pipe through
which air enters, and another through
which it is expelled. The expelled air
is caught and its components ana
lyyZed, for part of the food you eat
is expelled with every breath.
The heat given off by the subjects
body is weighed and measured and
then carried off through brass pipe
that has a current of cold water run
ming through it. The heat-absorbing
power of the pipe is enhanced by a
series of copper disks that are sol
dered to it. The method is merely
the reverse of that practiced in bring
ing heat into a room by the hot-wa-
ter method. In one, the cold water
carries it away; in the other the hot
water brings it in. The exact amount
of heat expelled from the subjects
body is measured by the flow of cold
water, one calorie of heat being nee
essary to raise one kilogram Of water
one degree centigrade.

| 1t is not in the soil, or the fertilizer,
or the weather, nor in any other fac
tor, important though each may be-.
The first essential is to breed up
corn for points with the same care
given to animals or fowls. Type,
quality, stamina, productiveness, ETC.,
must be known, must be sought for
and improved with each season. 1t
is not enough to pick out perfect ears
or such as may be attractive at harv-
est time. It is necessary that one
shall know the plant that produced the
ear, and all the conditions of it's
growth and environment.
There are many mysteries to be
solved in this question of seed selec-
ton with the view to breeding up a
more productive type of corn. My
own experiments in this direction will
indicate some of the difficulties to be
met with. In husking the corn in
the fall Of 1908 I came across just
one stalk containing two ears. 1t
was the first 1 had ever met with,
though upon inquiry l find that farm
ers do frequently come across such
two-eared stalks, though they never
pay any attention to them, but throw
them in the crib with the others.
1t occurred to me, however, that it
would be we'll to plant from those two
ears and endeavor to raise a two
cared type One ear was of good size
and the other about two-thirds as big.
Weighing them the large one weighed
IA ounces and the small 91a ounces.
The large ear was an average ear
such as every stalk carried Thus
this particular plant gave 91s ounces
more. than any other plant. This gain
would mean almost ton more to the
acre if the corn could be bred to
yield two ears. 1t would mean even
more If the two ears could be made to
attain a good size instead of one be-
ing large and one small as in this
case.
The corn was Of variety called
yellow-fint, obtained originally of a
nearby farmer. From these two ears
1 selected $50 kernels, discarding the
butts and tips. The field in which
this was planted was fall plowed and
dressed during the winter with a
liberal application of a high quality
of stable manure, as keep such in a
cement-bottomed pit. The two-eared
seed was planted at one end of the
main corn field. 1t should, Of course.
have had separate plot, and it may
be that the tendency to revert to one
ear was due in part to It's contiguity
to the ordinary corn.
The $50 kernels made 21O hills.
Fourteen failed to come up, probably
being eaten by worms or mice. The
termination showed very strong vital
ity. However, of the GIG stalks, all
from the two-eared seed, only 1876
stalks produced double ear. About
one-fifth.
Another interesting point, showing
clearly the tendency to reversion to
remote ancestors, is found in the fact
that while the two-seed ears were of
II rows about rs per cent. of the
yield was Of one eight-rowed cobs.
Although this variety of flint corn
will show frequent ears of II and IA
rows, it may be considered properly
an eight-rowed type of corn Thus
we see that after throwing the sport
of a two-eared stalk, there is not
The Winslow mail., 1913-08-16
-~ @, > % .

sufficient stamina in all the seeds to
reproduce like the parent. The corn
reverted not only to the one-eared but
to the eight-rowed type.
This is one of the mysteries that
will have to be solved, no doubt be-
fore highly-productive two-eared
type of corn can be raised with the
qualities of the parent SO fixed that
it can be relied upon to maintain a
big average yield 1t may be due to
a weakness of inbreeding.
Some of the ears weighed over a
pound each, making over two pounds
to the stalk. If this could be aver
aged for an entire corn field it would
yield over ten tons to the acre.
Such may seem an eXaggeration or
an impossibility, but it so only in
comparison with what we have been
accustomed to. Even if by judicious
selection of two-eared seed each
year still the type could not be fixed
so as to produce even yields of the
maximum amount, yet If it gave an
increase of 20 per cent. as it did in
my experiment, the return would be
a big one for what is involved. 1t
does not imply added cost, in the pro-
duction, but only greater care and
interest in ones work.
Another thing to be kept in mind
in breeding up type of corn for high
er productiveness Is that the number
of kernels to the ear and their size
ioII
of grain.
A corn expert once figured out that
If the productiveness of corn could
be increased by only one kernel to
each ear, on the entire crop it would
mean a gain of so tons of grain!
Even though the figures be not abso-
lutte there is no gainsaying that the
increase of yield would be very big
amount in the aggregate. The point
Is made very clearly in the accom-
panying photographs which show
eight, ten and twelve-rowed ears of
corn. Each ear was exactly the same
in weight, being IL ounces each. The
eight-rowed ear gave seven ounces Of
grain, and had a cob weighing four
ounces, the ten-rowed ear weighed up
eight ounces of grain and had a
three ounce cob. The twelve-rowed
ear gave 81s ounces of grain. A diff
ference of an ounce and half to the
ear Of actual grain is an appreciable
gain worth striving for. But that
does not mean that such is the limit
Of the gain to be obtained. 1t would
be quite within reason to obtain ten.
fold that increase.
The chief requisite to substantial
progress in the growing Of more
productive corn must be the skill and
judgment of the worker. The first
essential Is no doubt seed selection,
but this does not merely mean the
picking out of the best looking ears
either at harvest time or in the husk-
ing. 1t is necessary that the grower
shall watch the corn from the first
start of the seed and through the
growing.
Vigor, productiveness and early
ripening should be noted, not merely
in the mind, but in a book, and the
stalks should be marked so that they
can be identified at any time. My
method is to snip out little bits of
tin; punch a hole through them at
one side and put bit Of thin wire
through and twist this loosely about
the stalk when marking it. On the
tin l scratch a number with sharp
awl. There is not likely to occur
any accident that can destroy this
tag or erase the figures.
