 As soon as he understood what I proposed, he requested me to ring the bell. and dispatched a messenger to request the instant attendance of the chancellor at the palace.
 The old chancellor came pufing into the room carrying his eternal vel low dispatch-box under his arm. He carefully deposited his yellow box up his majesty.
 Well, prince. how is the rheuma- tism today?' inquired the kaiser
 Bad. very bad, sire grumbled the old minister
 He then, without inviting the prince to be seated. put a question to him about some pending commercial treaty with Russia, which necessitated reference to the contents of the vel low box. The prince fumbled for his keys, unlocked the box and took out the paper which his master had in- quired for. The kaiser, after barely glancing at it, suddenly took the old man by the arm. and commenced to draw him out of the room. Come upstairs for a moment he cried; you must positively hear the empress play my last composition. The court are enraptured with it, and the royal organist tells me it will re- place the "Wacht am Rhein" as the national anthem of Germany" "The prince hesitated. and glanced at his dispatch-box. which still lay un- locked on the table.

CUT UP LONG CORN STALKS
Much Waste May Be Avoided and Cows Will Eat Them Up Clean
 Bit of Grain Is Relished.

Don't try to make your COWS eat long corn stalks. They will surely waste lot of good feed. Cut the stalks and they will eat them all up clean. Let them lie in box or even in the alleyway for a day or two after they have been cut and they will heat and soften up good deal If too dry a lit tie water poured over the pile will help to moisten them up. A bit of grain sprinkled over each ration will make its licking good.

In response to a query as to about the right temperature for dairy barn Hcard's Dairyman makes the follow ing reply:
 We are not prepared to say what is considered the right temperature to , keep the barn for dairy COWS. It is our opinion that 1t is not well to have the barn colder than 50 degrees Fahrenheit. In very severe weather the temperature in the Hoard's Dairy man barns falls to 50 degrees Fahren- heit While the milk flow seems to be about the same under these condi- tions, yet the cattle seem to show signs of not being as comfortable as when the barn is at 60 degrees.

OIL PRODUCTION
BREAKS RECORD
29O,312,5S5 Barrels Output
For Year, Government
Figures Show.

The production Of petroleum in the
United States in 1914 aggregated 290,
312.5S5 barrels, according to govern
ment reports made public today. OF
this quantity o65, 762,535 barrels were
either marketed or were utilized d.
rectly in field development and "a
$4,000 barrels were placed in pro-
ducers' field storage TO meet future
requirements.
The following table shows in de-
tail by states and principal fields the
distribution OF the marketed produc-
ton. including fuel oil consumed ~
field operations in 1914. to which has
been added, for purposes Of compari-
son. the corresponding data for 1913.
Producers storage. particularly in
Oklahoma and California, attained
proportions so great and exercised so
marked an effect on the industry dur
ing the year that the data on the
subject have been included as an in
dex to the market fluctuations OF the
year.
These statistics. which differ as to
total above.ground production by less
than l per cent from the estl2ale
made public by the Survey January /.
are the result of a careful compilation
Of voluntary reports received from
more than $4,000 producing, transport
ing, and purchasing companies engag-
ed in handling petroleum in the Uni
ted States.
With reference to the marketed pro-
duction the final returns show an in
crease OF 17,316.305 barrels, represent
ing an increase OF nearly per cent
over the corresponding production IN
1913.
The average price per barrel receiv-
ed for this was S0.S06 in 1914 as com
pared with $0.954 in 1913, and the to-
tai value Of the marketed oil was

year, exceeding its record output in

greatest relative decline took place in
