men," for he was born in the year
1889, says the London Chronicle
When Napoleon invaded Russia, an

of a guide. But the inhabitants had
fed Laptieff's family, hiding in the
recesses of a forest. But curiosity
drew him, and he hid in a tree to
watch the invaders. He was seen,
captured and taken before the EN-.
peror, who ordered him to act as
guide to the vanguard of the army.
This he did for SO hours, and then es-
capped. He fought against both of his
country's present allies, against the
French at Borodino, and against the
English in the Crimea. Tired of max

but now lives in retirement with his
son and grandson.

sure profit at present prices of cattle
at from $50 to $34 per acre.
It has been demonstrated conclu-
sively that silage.fed steers bring
more money on the big market than
those that are fattened on whole corn.
1t IL also q fact well known to expe-
rienced feeders that silage grain
and hay.
It is true that corr fodder contains
under chemical tests more protein car,
bohydrates and fattening material than
silage, but the fact remains that
steers do not get all Of the benefit
from corn fodder, while about every
thing that is valuable is consumed in
the silage.
Then silage being quite bulky, 1t is
an excellent feed given in connection
with ground grains and heavy meals,
as it aids greatly in their digestion.
Another thing, steers like silage. 1t
tastes good to them and they eat It
with avidity.
A steer prefers silage to dry corn
fodder, Just as a boy prefers pie to
dry corn bread, but in the case of the
steer, the silage is better food for him
than the pie is for the boy.
Place silage and dry corn fodder
before q bunch of steers and they will
not touch the latter until they have
entirely disposed Of the first. This
is an important factor in feeding, be-
cause palatability adds to digestive
qualities of feed, and the more a
steer digests the more fat he will
put on.

and man is a mammal; therefore. II is no,
too much to think that the same princlpl.
can be applicable to each.
The contention that the intermarrvinr
of close relatives Is bound to result N
degenerate or inferior offspring was then
dealt body blow by the investigator.
"I firmly believe" she said, ''though
OF course, Il has not been tried out. Ira,

marry, the result of the union would be
higher type OF offspring than from the
intermarriage Of two other people. The
opinion regarding the degeneracy OF ths
offspring OF such n union exists because
the only races who intermarry are
degenerate races and therefore you ret
a race of even greater degeneracy."
According to DR.. M. ]. Greennnan, direc.
tor of the Wistar Institute, who has

the closest attention, the theory OF The
dangers in intermarrying of blood rela

OF Doctor Kings experiments It would
