sweet potatoes and the little wretches

UNHAPPY IRELAND.

For many years-counted in hundreds
the Irish people have resented Eng
lands control of the Emerald isle
Brave and loyal to traditions of better
days-the Irish have longed for day of
relief and an independent government.
This longing has been intensified by
the war conditions prevailing in Europe.
The rebels are filled with the hope that
relief is coming for Ireland-when an
English garrison capitulated to the
Turkish army, and ten thousand Eng
lish troops are prisoners of war, and
in all this, poor Ireland has no say So
and the Irish troops must go when or
dered to go--to surrender when ordered
to surrender. and to die on the firing
line. or in the deadly trenches when o.
dered to die.
But the late revolt in Ireland be-
tokens their helplessness. The time for
liberty has not yet come. The revolt
was put down in quick order. The num-
Der killed may never be known, but i
is reported that hundreds fell in the
various attacks.
The story goes that a voman-a
countess melted the rebels-after a
Joan of Arc style. This woman was a
sister of an Irish baron and was seen
dressed in volunteer uniform and the in
surrection started in an Easter parade.
At midday on Monday the revolutionist5
assembled I'm Dublin as if for one of
their usual parades. About 500 Of
them took possession of the general post
office, which was attended by a small
force Of clerks, because of the holiday.
They held the building for several days
and nights. over the building they
hoisted the flag of the Irish Repub-
lie
This Irish countess was married TO
a Polish nobleman-and these can be
no doubt, but the woman was well nigh
crazed at the condition of Ireland-her
native land-and of Poland, the home Of

WASHINGTON, May SO.-Dimes,
uartcrs and half dollars of new de-
sign will be minted after July /, Sec
rotary McAdoo announced today. For
the first time since 1891, change will
b. effected in these pieces. The an
nouncement disclosed that the naIf doll
lar has fallen practically into disuse.
The new design was selected with hope
of restoring ii 10 more general circu-
lation, it was indicated. Under the
rev coinage each piece will be of dig
fcrent design. The half dollar and
dime models were made by Adolph y.
Weinman and the quarter dollar by Her
mon A. MacNeil. Both are sculptors of
note.
The face of the new half dollar bears
a full length of liberty, with back
ground of the American flag flying tc
the breeze. The goddess is striding to
ward the dawn of a new day, carrying
laurel and oak branches, symbolic of
civil and military glory. The reverse
side shows an eagle perched high upon
a mountain crag, wings unfolded. Grow
ing from a rift in the rock is a sap
ling of mountain pine, symbolic Of
America.
The design of the 25-cent piece is in
tended to typify the awakening of the
country to its own protection, Secre-
tary McAdoo's announcement stated.
Liberty, full length figure, is shown
stepping toward the country's gateway,
bearing appraised a shield from which
the covering is being drawn. The right
hand bears an olive branch of peace.
Above the head is the word Liberty"
and below the feet 1915" The reverse
bears figure of an eagle in full flight,
wings extended, and the inscriptions
United States of America" and "E. Plu-
ribus Unum."
Both the half dollar and the quar-
ter bear the phrase "In God We Trust"
The design of the dime is simple. Lib
erty with a winged cap is shown on the
foreside and on the reverse is design
of a bundle of rods, and a battle axe.

CCLTIVATING THE CORN CROP.

In Pennsylvania and neiehooring

on August 5. 1915. with the object
of determining whether the wet or
acute form of beriberi can be produced
I'm pigs on a diet of polished rice,
and whether the disease of cotton seed
poisoning i'm pigs is not really beriberi.
The details of these experiments can be
readily passed over at this time as this
review Of the data presented by the
above scientists is only intended to
give our readers a general line on what
has been accomplished so that they
may be advised as to the latest infor-
nation available with reference TO this
important subject. Rommel and Vedder
conclude that pigs are susceptible to
beriberi when fed on a diet of polished
rice. land the disease develops with
greater rapidity in hogs than in man,
pronounced symptoms being evidenced
in eight TO ten days after the institu-
tion OF a ration of polished rice. APP
parently. cotton seed poisoning in pigs
is deficiency disease and analogous to
that known as beriberi in man. Acute
cotton seed poisoning corresponds 10
wet beriberi. and the chronic form to
what is known as dry beriberi. The
cause is probably due to some defect
i'm the ration which produces profound
changes IN the nervous system. The
following explanation is offered: Cotton
seed meal is never fed alone but is
generally combined with corn. Corn is
known to be very deficient as a food
for this class OF animals: In other
words. corn if fed by itself to penned
hogs will result frequently in their be-
coming suddenly weak in the hind
quarters. If skimmilk or other animal
products be combined with corn, how
ever, the animals will thrive and grow
of satisfactorily. Apparently, therefore,
when corn meal Is fed with cotton
seed meal some element is left out of
the combination essential to the proper
nutrition of hogs. In other words, both
of these materials appear to be deficient
i'm some element. and it is hoped that
the studies which the authors propose
to continue will enable them to find the
element lacking. If this is done. no
doubt Tations can be discovered in
which cotton seed meal can be fed to
pigs with advantage and profit. and
avoid altogether the trouble which has
now given rise 10 the term cotton
seed poisoning in hogs"
