Bio FEEDING Test Made.

Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis.-Professor Sampson, of the depart
ment of animal husbandry of the Ore
gon agricultural college, has complet
ed feeding test with pigs which has
been running since September /. The
results of the test are significant in
that they open up broad field for
developing pigs with the definite pur.
pose of making them capable Of con.
suming a greater amount Of food for
correspondence greater gains.
On September l. 80 pigs of different
litters were divided into three lots OF
10 each. All were put on ration of
barley 80 per cent, and tankage 10
per cent, and the test was continued
for 81 days. Lot one was given dry
rations, by hand. Lot two was fed by
means of the "selffeeder." Lot three
was fed by hand the rations being
soaked for II hours before feeding.
The three lots were divided evenly as
to weight sex and parentage
Lot one required 463.5 pounds of
feed for 100 pounds gain; lot two re-
quired 41S,2 pounds feed for 100
pounds gain. and lot three 449.S
pounds feed for 100 pounds gain. The
difference in daily gain between the
litters of pigs was from 1.42 to 1856
pounds. The difference between the
lots varied only from 1.4S to 1874
pounds. The poorest lot was better
than the poorest litter and the best
lot was better than the best litter.
The best individual pig gained 2.44
pounds daily for 61 days, while the
poorest individual animal gained but
one pound day. during the test. In
feeding 100 pigs similar to the best
used In the recent test, at the present
prices of feed and of pork, the owner
would realize S297.60 profit, not count
Ing labor or investment In feeding
100 pigs similar to the poorest. he
would realize but s115.65 profit. The
tests show the self-feeder Is an eco
means of producing pork.
The labor of feeding is reduced one
half by this method and less feed Is
required.

Gas Eound In rraes.

Professor j. A. Ferguson OF the
Pennsylvania state college, reports q
curious phenomena connected with the
cutting Of hardwood trees In the Ozark
mountains. Cavities near the base of
the trees are often found to contain
gas. When these cavities are cut into
by the oak tie cutters of the region
the gas escapes with a whistling
sound, showing 1t to be under pres
sure, and IL lighted 1t will burn with
a faint yellow flame. The sides of
the cavities containing gas are in all
cases darkened and look as though
scared with hot iron. The popular
belief Of the district is that these trees
are connected through their roots with
subterranean supply of natural gas,
and the land on which they grow is
valued accordingly. An examination
of the gas collected from a cotton.
wood tree was made by Professor Blu.
song Of the university of Kansas, and
1t was found to be substantially the
same as natural gas with the addition
OF some free hydrogen. Professor
Ferguson believes, however, that this
gas Is the product of decomposition
of the heartwood of the trees.--Pitts-

BIRDS NEST CHANGED ROAD
Thousands of Men, Horses and Wag.
ons Turned Aside to Avoid Doing
Harm to Songster's Home.

Some years ago, Gen. David s. Stan
ley of the United States army was
leading force across the plains. He
was laying out the route for great
railroad. There were 1000 men, 2,500
horses and mules and a train of ESQ
wagons heavily laden.
One day the general was riding at
the head of the broad column, when
suddenly his voice rang out. "Halt!"
A birds nest lay on the ground di-
rectly In front of him. In another mo-
ment the horses would have trampled
on the nestlings. The mother bird
was flying about and chirping in the
greatest anxiety. But the brave gen
eral had not brought, out his army to
destroy birds nest.
He halted for a moment, looked at
the little birds In the nest below, and
then gave the order. Left obliQue!"
Men, horses, mules and wagons
turned aside, and spared the home of
helpless bird. Months, and even years
after, those who crossed the plains
saw great bend in the trail. It was
the bend made to avoid crushing the
birds nest.-Young Peoples Paper.

Our Earliest Memories.

How far back in ones life can one
remember? Herbert Spencer used to
recall faint pictures of playing in the
garden with sister, a year his junior,
who died at 2 years old. His most
vivid recollection, however, worth
mentioning because Of Its psychologist
cal interest, is that of certain results
caused in me by being left alone for
the first time." The nurse went out
and locked him up alone In the house.
1t was the evening of the week when
the bells of All Saints Derby were
rung, and they were going all the time
the child suffered in loneliness. "All
through the early part of my life, and
even in adult years, I never heard
these bells without feeling Of sad
ness coming over me. London Pail

Bad Bachelor jlppos.

Sir John Kirk and Livingstone were
attacked by hippopotamus that was,
no doubt, bachelor" Speaking OF
the hippopotami of the Chobe, Living
stone says that "as certain elderly
males are expelled from the herd they
become soured In their temper and SO
misanthropic as to attack every canoe
that comes near them The herd is
never dangerous except when a canoe
passes into the midst of 1t when all
are asleep, and some of them may
strike the canoe in terror. AS a rule,
these animals flee the approach of
man. The 'solitaires,' however, fire.
quent certain localities well known to
the inhabitants on the banks and, like
the rogue elephants, are extremely
dangerous" Livingstone learned that
when attacked by one you should dive
to the bottom and keep there few
seconds, since the hippi soon moves
off IL he finds nobody on the surface.

in the Popular Mechanics The per
former sits at one side of the table
with his hands fiat on the top. a
person may pick out any pendulum
and ask him to swing it, which he
will proceed to do without touching
it, also making it strike the glass
while it swings. Another pendulum
may be pointed out and he will start
that one apparently by looking at it.,
while the other one stops.
This may seem to be impossible
yet it is very easy. 1t will be seen
that no two pendulums have the same
length. A pendulum makes certain
number of swings in given time, de-
pending on its length. A long pen
dulum requires more time to complete
its swing and will, therefore, make
less number of swings than short
one in the same time. 1t is only nee
essary to move the table slightly and
watch the pendulum picked out until
1t begins to swing independently of
the others, which soon happens To
make the longer pendulums swing,
longer movements of the table top
must be made. With a little practice
