MAKEUP OF A HORSE
interesting Experiment With
TWenty-one Animals.
Data In Regard to Efficiency Of Three
Different RatIons for Fattenlna
Purposes-Weieht Not Control
ling Factor In Making Gains.
tBy W. A. cocHEL.,

The ability of horse to lay on flesh
is largely matter of individuality
controlled by disposition, tempera-
meat. age, condition, digestive capac-
ity and type. A most interesting ex-
pertinent was made, with 81 horses, to
obtain data IN regard to the efficiency
Of three different rations for fattening
purposes. The point to be discussed
In this article. however. is merely that
of the changes in form due to fatten-
ing.
The average gains made by horses
weighing over 1,450 pounds at the be-
ginning of the experiment were prac-
tically the same as those of lighter
horses, which would seem to indicate
that weight is not controlling fac
tor in making gains. Mature horses,
six or seven years of age, made more
satisfactory gains than those four
to five years of age.
A record of the outline of the chest
and of the middle of the paunch OF
each horse was made at the beginning
and close of the experiment by means
of an adjustable chain, for the pur-
pose of determining where the fat was
placed on the body.
Results showed that there was little
change in depth of body, especially
at the heart girth, but there was an
apparent improvement in the spring
of rib and very material increase in
the width of body throughout. 1t
would seem from the facts obtained
that the greatest change in form due
to the fattening process is notice in
those parts OF the body where there is
the heaviest covering of muscle and
that In those regions where there is

USEFUL TOOL FOR THE BOYS
Handy implement In Winter TO Push
Light Snow From Paths, or In
Autumn to Rake Leaves.

Here is something, boys, that you
can make, which will be useful either
In winter to push or drag light snow
from the paths, or in autumn to push
or rake large masses of leaves on
your lawn. 1t Is made In this way:
Get board half an inch thick, one
foot wide, and about three feet long.
Lay a steel garden rake on 1t in
such a way that the head of the
rake rests fiat on the center of the
board, and the handle sticks up near
ly at right angles. Take three staples
Of galvanized wire, such as are used
to fasten wire fencing to the posts,
and drive them through che board so
that each will inclose one tooth IF the
rake. Let two of .he staples grip the
two outside teeth near the top, and
the third hold one of The intermediate
teeth near the point. The board will
then be less likely to split. Clinch the
points on the back.
BY driving the rake teeth sharply
down as far as they will go into the
staples, you win have 4 handy tool,
useful for different purposes; and
when you wish to use the rake alone
slight upward tap will at once re-
lease the board

its value as a heterogeneous food-supe-
rior to clover-and the greater GER
tainty of a crop when once fairly
started, make it desirable that it
should at least be tested in small
way. The longer life of an alfalfa
meadow, as compared to one of clover,
will often make it most valuable adj
junct to the farm. Success in ham
ding the crop in small way, supple
mented by the knowledge thus ac-
quired of the conditions making for
such success, win afford the best
guarantee against failure should 1t
later be determined to devote to al
falfa a larger number of acres.
Any good corn land-any land not
too wet to grow red clover-should
produce alfalfa as well. An abundance
of vegetable matter in the soil is es-
sential, and so also is good drainage,
such as viii prevent water from stand
ing long on the surface in low places,
in winter, in spring, or after summer
rains. The water level in the soil
should not be nearer than seven or
eight feet from the surface.

GROWING ALFALFA IN NORTH
Recognized as Having Higher Feeding
Value Than Glover and Could Be
Made Part of Rotations.
By A. ARMY

In red clover, alfalfa has a rival in
many parts of the north. Here red
clover luxuriates on a soil to which it
seems especially adapted and which,
while sharing with alfalfa the capacity
for supplying nitrogen, both as a fer
tilizer to the soil and as a nutritive
element in feed lacking in other field
crops, has also shown greater endur.
ance under the trying conditions Of
climate than have some of the strains
Of alfalfa that have been sown in the
north.
Alfalfa, however, is recognized as
having higher feeding value than
clover. Could it, therefore. be made
a part of ordinary rotations, it might
be given preference. On small farms,
or on any farms intensively cultivated.

one of the foremost While criticism
is made of the other churches in the
cities of Asia Minor, founded by the
apostles, none is uttered against
Smyrna.
The fame of Smyrna has persisted,
in altered form, throughout the CEN
turtles. 1t was often called the most
beautiful city in the world--a title
no longer merited. In its harbor all
the nayies of the world could anchor.
More than seven thousand steamships
pass through its roadstead every year.
The Christians have made Smyrna
a great commercial center, and more
than one thousand European and
American business men are numbered
among its cosmopolitan population.
The principal business thoroughfare-
a narrow highway through which car
riages and caravans of camels pass
with difficulty--is called the Street
of the Franks, or foreigners; name
which probably goes back to the time
OF the occupation of Smyrna by the
Crusaders. The more modern build
ings, including the consulates, are di-
rectly on the water front, CT the great
Bund.

Armenian priests, also dressed in
black, but with smaller headgear, are
seen less frequently. The Latin
church, as the church of Rome is
called in the Levant, is represented by
the three missionary bodies, the
Jesuits and Dominicans in black and
the Franciscans in brown. They do
an extensive missionary and educa-
tional work in Turkey. Their head
quarters are in Europe where they are
taught before beginning their work.
American Missions There.
American missions at Smyrna are
maintained by the American board of
Boston. Their chief plants are the
school Owing to the troubled condi-
tons brought about by the war, all
the foreign schools have been serious
ly hsmpered. The International in
stitute has now between $50 and 200
students, of various races and creeds.
This is far below normal, but the
other four largest foreign schools have
less than dozen boarders among
them all. The neutrality and popu-
larity of the American flag in this
crisis is the reason for this disparity.
A company of boy scouts is main

In the subapostolic age the city OF
Smyrna won the name among the
early Christians of "the gateway of
the martyrs" because so many Chris

passed through it on their way to suf-
fer martyrdom at Rome.

most celebrated sight of the city.

little muscle the changes were insig-
nificant
One very marked change in the
form of the chest is noted il the loca-
tion of the point of greatest width,
which is nearly two inches higher in
the fat animal than one in thin con-
dition. There is smoothness in out
line and rotundity of form after fat
tening which is entirely absent before
the finishing process is started.
In the outlines of the middle of
paunch of thin horses there is a fat
tened appearance above the median,
while the same measurements after
fattening result in almost a perfect
circle. While there is some change in
the lower half Of the middle girth, the
greater change in the upper half elimi-
mates from the fat animal that degree
of paunchiness which is displeasing
and adds very much to the neatness
of the individual.
AS few of the horses used in the
experiment were kept at heavy work
Immediately after the close of the ex-
pertinent, it is interesting to note that
as they lost in weight and condition
they assumed form similar to that
which they had before the fattening
period.
These changes are so striking as to
need little or no comment, but show
that the horse at hard work may not
only utilize his daily rations for the
production of work but may draw upon
the reserve energy which is stored
up in the form of fat on his body.
While additional data should be Sc
cured along these lines before final
conclusions are made, the results here
presented seem to indicate that the
greatest change in fattening horses is
one of width rather than depth, that
