8. L. Dodds has been busy with
a lot of teams this week leveeing

different points, to conform with
the State and government engi.
neer's plans for a gravel road,
commencing at the corporate linn

Mr.. Dodds is doing all this
work without any cost whatever
TO the county, in addition to the
$1,000 that he and his associates
have given the county for this
gravel road building. They have
hopes of making what money
they now have in sight build the
road as far az Mrs. John Mayes,
and Of course the more donations
they get in work, ETC., the ftnth-

that every citizen Of Fulton coun-
~, and especially those who
hive east of Hickman, or those
who have any occasion TO travel
to or from Fulton, or people liv-
ing ON roads crossing the State
road, should be interested as
much or more than Mr.. Dodds
as they would get the benefits of
the entire distance of the road
whenever they travel to Hickman

OF Falton county can determine
what q gravel road will cost and

Remember this piece of work
does not cost the taxpayers one

neighbos, and a similar amount
from the State aid road fund

FEED TESTS MADE
WITH YOUNG LAMBS
Missouri Experiment Station
Gives Results Obtained With
Lot of Western Ewes.

In tests made by the Missouri ex.
pertinent station four lots of eight ma,
ture western ewes, each with their
seven to ten, twenty to twenty-five
day-old sucking lambs, were fed Sc
days as follows: Lot 1, rye pasture
and grain; lot 2, rye pasture; lot 8,
bluegrass pasture and grain, and lot
4, bluegrass pasture, the grain mixture
consisting of equal parts Of cracked
corn, oats and bran.
The eyes lost 1.9S, 1919, 2.26 and
11.64 pounds per head, respectively
Although the ewes in lots 2 and 4
lost heavily, they were thrifty and in
healthy condition. The average daily
gains of the lambs were 0.468, O.449,
O.597 and 0.45 pounds per head.
The grain consumed by the lambs
per 100 pounds of gain was 1885, 1888
41.57 and 1888 pounds for the respec'
tive lots. The average total gain con
sumed per eve in lots 2 and I was

That summer baseball is undes1r-
able, not because of the faint" of pro-
ressionalism but because it would
mean that the players would devote
too much time to the game, is the ar
gument against summer ball in the
current number of the Harvard Alumni
Bulletin.
Boyd says that the baseball squad
now puts in the entire afternoon dur
Ing the greater part of the college
year. With summer baseball permit
ted, he contends, prospective candi-
dates for the team will be encouraged
to play summer ball by way of improv-
Ing their chances of making the team.
This he considers too great an expen-
diture of time that might well be de-
voted to other objects. Boyd writes,

The endless discussion of summer

REMEMBERED THE GLASS BAR
McGovern Couldn't Recall Name of
Saloon Where He PaWned Watch,
But Thought of Fishes.

Terry McGovern was in st. Paul
with "a theatrical troupe along about
1903 or so. That was after the Irish
terror had lost his title to Young Cor
bett. Terry was far from right, either
mentally or physically.
McGovern didn't have much money
to spend; in fact, he was treated
somewhat in the manner of child
It was while playing in st. Paul that
The show was Cancelled and Terry
taken to a sanitarium.
One afternoon McGovern and some
hangers-on were drinking in saloon
in Robert street. Underneath the
bar and running it's entire length was
glass tank filled with fish.
Running out of funds, McGovern
soaked his watch-not in the tank,
but with the owner of the place-in
order that he and his newly made
friends might imbibe more of the
wares of the joint.
Some time after leaving st. Paul
McGovern desired to redeem his watch
and sent letter to st. Paul, making
inquiries about his timepiece. This
is the way the letter was addressed:
ITO the Saloon Where the Fishes Are,
St. Paul"

should be allowed, it would soon b.
considered desirable. Under the pres
sure of intercollegiate competition
members of the baseball squad woult
soon come to feel an implied obliga
ton to devote their summers to th'
game in order to insure victorious
teams. This situation would be o
scandal in itself, and the cause OF
endless dissatisfaction.
Even now baseball requires more
time from it's devotees than any Other
university sport. 1t is true, track anG
crew athletes are in training as long
as baseball men, but their work re
quires only a few minutes at the end
of the afternoon, which is merely what

SACRED CITY OF THE JAMS
One of the Most Remarkable OF the
Sights the Traveller Sees
in India.

Palitana is among the most wonder
full places in that land of marvels. IL
is in the Kathiawar peninsula, to the
north of Bombay, and is the capital
of the small state of the same name
which adjoins Baroda. The town
stands on the Shetrunja river, whose
overlooking has frequently caused dis
aster, and above rise the twin peaks
of Shetrunja hill, nearly 1000 feet
above the plain. 1t is the most sacred
of the five sacred hills of the jams,
and their temple city crowns the sum-
nit. The jams, who today form one
of the large merchant castles, may De
described as a heretical and ultra
humanitarian sect of Hinduism. Its
founder was contemporary with
Buddha. The jams in all ages have
been great temple builders; their most
marked popularity in this respect be-
ing their tradition of building cities
composed entirely of temples and con-
tanning no human habitations what
ever.

limestone, bone ash, cinders, slack
coal, wood ashes, Glauber salts, ep-
som salts, calcium citrate, and COM
mon baking soda. In truth the pigs
having all these minerals before them
did not do so well.
The addition of a calcium 1actate
phosphate to gluten feed produced
positive results in some Wisconsin
trials by Hart and McCollum, that is
the pig did gain to 275 pounds on this
mineral gluten feed ration, but no
material growth was secured on gluten
alone. These minerals were fed so
as to approximate in the ration the
mineral content of milk. OF course
potassium and calcium were supplied
in our trial but in a different form.
The objection might be raised that
the pigs might not have been suffi-
GENTLY good judges of what was good
for them, to select the correct ration.
But the great practical significance of
this objection fades into insignificance
when we realize that pigs fed free
choice" style on any of these rations
make successful selection:
I. Corn and alfalfa.
2. Corn and rape.
3. Corn and clover.
4. Corn and tankage.
5. Corn and skim milk (sweet or sour).

such combinations could be made up,
and the pigs would wax fat on any
of them. But this does not unquali-
fiedly maintain that the pigs might
not err in their selection of corn
products when they only are available.
But before the test is completed these
pigs will have an opportunity to eat
of mixture compounded with gluten
feed and the minerals as used at Wis
consin, but this will not be until these
pigs have had opportunity to select
these as their own appetites dictate
and have failed to make progress.
