rbe Thief and The House-Dog.

A thief came in the night to break
into a house He brought with him
several slices of meat, that he might
pacify the house-dog, so that he
should not alarm his master by bark
ing. AS the thief threw him the
pieces of meat, the dog said, IF you
think to stop my mouth, you will be
greatly mistaken This sudden kind
ness at your hands will only make me
more watchful, lest under these un-
expected favors to myself, you have
some private ends to accomplish for
YOUR own benefit, and for my masters

Pacific Kelp

In a recent article in the Journal OF
Agricultural Research, Mr.. Guy K.
Stewart OF the University of California
agricultural experiment station as
cusses the kelps of the Pacific coast
as a source of nitrogen. AS a result
of extensive experiments, the author
finds that the readiness with whlch
the nitrogen in dried and ground kelp
used as fertilizer is changed to am
monia and nitrates in fresh field soli
varies with the species and with the
wav if is prepared. Nereocystis luet'
keana gives up its nitrogen with rela'
tive quickness. but it is of minor com
mercial importance. MacrOcystts purl
fera changes slowly in the soil, but the
availability of it's nitrogen is increased
if it is used fresh, or at least only
partIv dried. Unfortunately, macrocys-
tis must be dried until crisp in order
TO grind readily. The drying should
not be continued longer than is neces-
sary. and the kelp should not be
scorched or overheated. In the same
journal another California chemist
Mr.. D. R. Hoagland, gives detailed
account of the Organic Constituents
of Pacific Coast Helps" incidentally,
he deals with certain interesting eco
nomic questions in regard to kelp;
namely, the possible feeding value OF
kelp for man or animals, the utiliza
ton of its organic by-products, and the
destructive distillation of it for com
! mercial uses. For all three purposes
it's usefulness appears to be slight

" Coincident with the issuance Of the

In the public action Of the presi-
dent and his promised statement
friends close to him see the import

Mexican situation by winning the
hearts Of the people of Mexico by
generous help. r.
The great gratitude now being mani
tested toward the government of the
United States and its people by the
rulers and the starving millions of Bel

tration to hope that a similar feeling
of friendship may be created In Mexico
by similar service.

rested some by one layer Of the skin.
some by another and still others are
