Poor in Precious Stones.

For a land that is rich In minerals
OF all kinds the United States seems
to have very poor output Of pre-
cious or semi-precious stones. About
the best that We can do is TO produce
plenty OF turquoise. and of this the
mines last year yielded $4,000 more
than the year before. Diamonds in
the rough were once picked UP in
Kansas and opals and rubies in one
or two OF the southern states, but
the unromantic government experts
after an investigation informed the
purchasers OF tbS mines" that they
had been "let in on rather crudeiy
salted properties" But that the
prospeetors are busy in this country
may be gathered from the recent
discovery OF turquoise deposits in
Nevada. pink beryl In Maine, sun
stones in Arizona and amazon stone
at White Plains. just north of this

DIET FOR THE WAR HORSES
Quantity Of Oats 10 Restricted to Make
the German Supply
Go Further.

The German government has re-
stricted the quantity of oats which
may be given TO a horse to 2ls to 3ia
pounds daily, and German horse own
ers are afraid that this restriction will
injuriously affect the health and use
fulness of their animals. In recent
issue OF the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger,
Doctor Klinger, city veterinary. shows
that these fears are groundless. His
experiments, carried on during many
years with large numbers Of horses.
convinced him that maize forms a
very satisfactory substitute for oats.
At present, however. maize is as
scarce as oats. so that some other sub
stitute must be found. The most OBJ
vious one is potatoes, which are very
abundant and have been stored in
great quantities by all German COM
munities.
Potatoes differ from maize. chiefly
in containing a little less starch and
considerably less digestible albumen.
The deficiency in starch can be met by
increasing the ration, and the def
cheney in albumen can be compensated
by adding small quantity OF some
food that is rich IN albumen.
