In the manufacture Of gases like

processes. it Is often necessary to free
them from all moisture.
One of the commOnest means is to
bubble the wet gas through con-
centrated sulphuric acid or through
heap Of glass beads covered with this
liquid. Concentrated suphuric acid has
powerful tendency to absorb mois-

oxygen. which cellulose contains in
just the proper proportions to form
water. The only other component of
cellulOse is carbon. and this alone is
left. leaving the wood charred as If

Another way to dry gas is to pass
it through small chunks of calcium

Kid Gloves.

The majority of the fine kid gloves
used in this country are imported from
France. The superiority of French kid
gloves over all others. according to an
importer, is due above all to the per
lection Of the skins, the kids bein,
reared in villages by poor peasant
who own only few goats and there
fore take great care of them.
Another reason Is that in France one
workman takes the prepared skin and
manipulates it himself right up to the
finished glove. In Germany, on the
contrary, division Of labor Is extensive
and great factories turn out in two or
three hours what requires two days
labor on the part Of the French work.

A GRAVE MISTAKE
Another Theory That Fails in the Face
of. Hard Facts.

An eight-hour day can have but one
the logging and numbering industry
in this state, and that is reduction
both in wages and in the number of
men employed.
The condition of the lum Der market
has been such, for long time, that
any material increase in the cost of
production must of necessity result in
curtailment of output and the dis
continuance of operations on the part
Of many loggers and manufacturers of
lumber.
Since the European war began, a
new and serious factor has arisen that
materially affects the arket for
Western lumber. All of the southern
lumber manufacturers who have, here
tofore. exported their output, find
their European markets closed by the
war, and they are now seeking an
outlet for their product in the Middle
West in competition with the Pacific
Coast lumbermen. This competition
is particularly severe in view of the
fact that the prevailing hours of labor
in the Southern logging camps and
mills are from II to II hours per day,
while the wages are considerably low
er than the wages paid in this and
other Western states.
This alone makes it utterly impos
sible for the loggers and lumbermen
to continue production in the face of
such competition, and an eight-hour
day in Washington would inevitably
have the effect Of reducing both the
demand for, and the wages paid to
labor in these industries.

Corn is no doubt the best feed ,

value can only be realized when
it is used in conjunction with

A hog fed on corn alone from

Sheep in the summer are gross

SlLACE A GOOD FEED
FOR EWES AND LAMBS

Prepared by United States department Of

The use Of corn silage US feed for
sheep has attracted the attention of
most farmers only during the past few
years. Although few sheepmen fed
silage many years ago with good re-
suits. most f1Ockmasters have been
slow in giving it Il trial.
Owing to the wonderful increase in
the use Of silos on farms and owing
to the cheapness of silage as compared
with other succulent feeds. such as
roots. farmers are constantly raising
the question regarding the feeding of
slage to sheep. \ great deal has been
said of its bad effects upon sheep. but
these have arisen either because an
inferior quality of silage was fed or
on account of careles>ness on the part
of the feeder in not feeding it properly
A good quality of silage is extremely
palatable and can be fed to all CLASSES
of sheep with good results. 1t must
be borne in mind. however. that silaye
which Is either very sour. moldy or
frozen should not be fed
The amount of silage reported in
feeding trials varies from one to five
pounds per head per day. The amount
to feed depends upon the class of
-Sheep and the character of the other
feeds comprising the ration. AS gen
era rule from two to four pounds per
head per day is considered as much as
should be fed
Lamb feeders have found siluge a
very satisfactory feed. and the amount

Peru's SUGAR Cane.

Heavy production Of sugar cane to
the acre is one Of the surprises Of
Peru. Where it is grown the land is
level, and planting is an easy matter.
When the cane reaches the height Of
two feet further attention in regard to
cultivation is said to be unnecessary,
and in from eighteen to twenty-four
months maturity is reached. That the
growth is luxurious may be known
from the fact that an average crop Of
forty tons an acre il obtained. while
sixty and even seventy tons is not un-
common. In other sugar growing coun-
tries. including Cuba. twenty-five tons
per acre are considered a good aver
age. according to sugar experts.

Delaware's Circular Boundary.

The northern boundary line Of Della
ware is circular because the charter
given to Penn states that Pennsylvania
was to be bounded on the east by
the Delaware river from twelve miles
distant north Of Newcastle town until
the three and fortieth degree Of north
latitude" and that the southern bound
airy was to be "a circle drawn at
twelve miles distant from the town Of
Newcastle northward and westward
until the fortieth degree of north lati-
tude and then by straight line west

airy for northern Delaware unavoid-
able. and the facts above set forth ex-
plain a geographical curiosity that has

Of grain. such as corn. and are receiv.

In feeding breeding ewes before
lambing daily allowance Of from two

maximum quantity. After lambing the
amount can be slightly increased.
In feeding silage or any other succu-
lent feeds 1t must be borne in mind
that the value Of such feeds to large
extent is to act as an appetizer and to
keep the digestive system in good con.
dition. Under ordinary conditions
where silage is fed it should not consti.
