Found In a Glacier.

Sir Martin Conway has recently told
this story of finding lost ak in the
Alps: Zarbiggen, one of the cele-
brated mountain climbers of the
world. in scaling a peak OF Les An
glaises, near Chamounix, accidentally
let his AK fall near the summit of the
peak. 1t fell some thousands of feet.
In the normal course of things 1t was
buried in snow and swallowed up In
the glacier, being covered deeper and
deeper each year, and at the same
time being carried slowly downward
as The ice flowed on. Seven or eight
years afterward Hen. c. G.. Bruce and
Harkbir, a Sepoy chief, in descending
a peak of the Alps just as night was
falling, and great crevasse barred
the way. being unable to find the
bridge over it, cut path down to
to bottom. where Harkbir stepped on
an AK which had NJ. 4. Zurbiggen's ini-
tials en- the handle. There could be
no mistake as to the identity Of the
ak. as Harkbir had seen it and used
It before.

How to Keep Bread Fresh.

DR.. J. r. Katz Of the University Of
Amsterdam has recently concluded
some interesting experiments showing
the action Of heat upon the chemical
changes which result in staleness In
bread. His conclusions are that bread
may be kept fresh for as long a period
as 40 hours II stored in temperature
Of 80 degrees C. or higher. In less
heat. say from 80 to 40 degrees c., 1t
becomes half stale" in a shorter time
and at ordinary temperatures, Of
course, stales very rapidly. The doc.
tor finds, too, that an extremely. low
temperature preserves the freshness
of bread for many hours, especially II
the storage place Is dry. The conclu-
sions Of this eminent scientist, 1t mayl
be added, coincide with those Of the
thrifty housewife who. from time i'm
memorial, has been accustomed to
"freshen up" her bread by moistening
1t with little water and then putting
It in the oven or Z few minutes.

TWENTY RULES FOR RAISING
BEEF IN THE SOUTH.

Washington, D. C.--Useful rules for
raising beef successfully in the South
are given in Farmers Bulletin $50
just issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture under the IT,
tie Of Beef Production in the South"
After discussing in some details the
available pasture lands and grasses,
the Bulletin summarizes conditions as
follows:
Eradicate the tick on the farm.
Good pastures are essential for prof.
liable beef production.
Plant pasture grasses over the whste
lands.
Csc purebred beef bulls for grading
up the native stock.
Always select the best heifers for
breeding purposes.
Use the coarse fodder, straws, and
the stalk fields for wintering the
breeding herd.
Wean the calves when pastures get
short. Put them in the cornfeld and
pea fields while weaving and teach
them to eat cottonseed cake or cotton.
seed meal.
Raise and finish beef cattle on the
same farm when possible.
A mixture OF cottonseed meal, cot
tonseed hulls. and alfalfa hay is a
good ration for fattening calves.
Silage is the best roughage for fat
tening any class Of cattle.
More care is necessary in feeding
calves than in feeding grown cattle.
At tie present prices corn silage
is a cheaper and better feed for fat
tening beef cattle than cottonseed
hulls.
Hulls and cottonseed meal make an
excellent fed for short feeding DE-
riod, but do not produce good gains
on cattle after the third month.
II is not entirely satisfactory to use
corn stover as the sole roughage.
When Johnson grass hay costs SO
and hulls 81 rer ton it's more prof
table to feed the hulls alone.
Summer feeding on the pasture is
usually more profitable than winter
feeding.
Finishing cattle early In the sum-
mer is usually more profitable than
finishing them later in the season.
Fattening steers on grass and cot
tonseed cake is nearly always more
profitable than grazing them without
feed.
Thin steers make larger and cheap
er daily gains than fleshy ones when
put on pasture.
Pound for pound coId-pressed cot
tonseed cake is not equal to the COM
mon cottonseed cake.
The use of a small amount Of corn
in addition to cottonseed cake has
proven profitable for feeding steers on
grass.
The Bulletin. with It's twenty nages
and nine illustrations, also contains
an interesting discussion Of the vari-
Gus breeds most serviceable in grad
ing up the native stock. 1t is sent free
