EXCELLENT FEED FOR SWINE
Rape Is Large SuccuIent Plant and
Grows RapidIy-One Of Best
Forases for Hogs.

Owing to the fact that rape grows
rapidly, is a large, succulent plant and
palatable to hogs, it makes one of the
best swine forages. If rape is not
pastured too closely it will grow up
and make fall pasture. A good growth
of rape will furnish pasture for about
IS to 20 hogs to the acre.
For pasture purposes the Dwarf
Essex variety is most used. The seed
can be bought usually for eight cents
a pound, therefore seeding is done at
small cost, as not more than five
pounds of seed per acre Is required

ORANGE Peel OH Explosive,

Everybody knows the flavor Of or
ange peel, but not everybody knows
what causes that flavor. 1t Is due to
the oil contained In little cells In
the rind. II the peel Is bent so as
to strain these oil-laden cells, the oil
bursts out, often as visible spray and
usually perceptible to our sense of
smell, and often as a greasy film On
the fingers. The peel may be so bent

cells at one time, and to fill the air

HISTORIC CITY OF THE EAST
kashan Said to Have Been spot From
Which the Three Wise Men
Started to Bethlehem.

The brief dispatch that the Russians
have taken Kashan In Persia brings
another romantic name into the the
ater of war operations. 1t is almost
Q sacred name, as tradition says II
was from Kashan that the wise men
started on their holy pilgrimage to
Bethlehem so many Christmases ago.
Every step taken both by the Rus
sian and British expeditions In this
corner of the world is in country OF
Interesting history and tradition. the
British, from q base on the supposed
site Of the Garden of Eden, operated
against Bagdad, the city of the Ara
bian Nights, and the Russians In their
advance on Kashan recently took
Hamadan, the ancient Ecbatana, which
contains, according to the Mohamme-
dams, the tombs of Esther and Nor
decai.
The belief that at Kashan the wise
men Of the East first saw the star OF
Bethlehem has found support among
learned Christian theologians. But
however that may be, Kashan became
a great city in ancient times, espe-
cially after It was rebuilt by Zobeideh.
wife of Haroun- ell Raschid. It once
had $500 houses and 40 mosques, and
was renowned for its silk weavers and
brass workers. But civil wars, earth
quakes and economic causes brought
about its decay. There Is still seen
the famous leaning minaret, 100 feet
high, which once served as an oriental
divorce court. Unfaithful wives were
dragged up the spiral staircase to the
top and showed OF.
Four miles from Kashan are the re-
mains Of the wonderful palace built
by Shah Abbas, the greatest of the Per-
sian monarchs. The oasis constructed
by the shah Is still green, its pavilions
are gay with paintings and mosaics,
and its gardens full Of roses, watered
by streams that run through blne.tiled
channels. In this palace political
tragedy was enacted In 1868. Mirzs
Khan, prime minister and own brother.
in-law of the reigning shah, was con.
demned to death. He asked permits
sion to commit suicide, and opened q
vein in his arm in one of the ancient
tiled bathrooms of the palace.
The ruined palace. with its summer
houses amid trees and gardens. sur.
rounded by desert, is described as the
most beautiful thing Of Its kind in the
near East.
Kashan is also famous for its scor-
pions, which are said to be among the
largest and most poisonous in the
world.

PROPER TEST OF BROOD sow
Indications of Good Mixer Shown In
Thrift Of Pigs-Beware of Fat
tenng Animal.

The principal test Of whether sow
is a good mixer or not is the thrift
of her pigs and her condition while
sucking them. If they do we'll and
she eats literally and keeps up good
health and digestion, and at the same
time gets little thin while nursing
them, it Is pretty good evidence that
she Is a good mixer and will do to
keep as long as her usefulness lasts.
But look out for the SOW that fattens
between narrowing and weaving time.
Her pigs either die off or become
runts, for she is not making the use
of her feed that good mother should
make.

CAREFUL ATTENTION TO cow
Animal Brings In Regular Returns In
Dairy Products-No Farmer Can
Afford to Neglect Her.

Cows require regular and careful
attention. There Is work in keeping
cows and giving them proper attention.
But they bring in regular returns in
dairy products and cash and no farmer
can afford to neglect cows.
What would it mean to individual
farmers and the country if every home
had as many COWS as it requires to
supply the table with milk and butter?
Perhaps none of us realize what it

when sown to rape. Land which is
well suited to corn production makes
Il very excellent soil for rape How
ever, the heavier soils seem to pro-

It is often difficult to get hogs to
eat rape at first, if they have not been

by not turning the hogs on rape until

Speculation is rife tonight as to the

1t Is possible the secretary may at

however that an attempt will be
made to perfect contracts which have
not as yet been passed upon by the

Okla, who is still standing pat and
insisting upon his application for one
hundred thousand acres contiguous to
Sand Springs being favorablv acted
upon, tonight denied stories which
have been appearing recently in Tulsa

prosecution by the government as n
disgrace and an attempt to aid O
blackmail scheme, Federal Judge An
derson today ordered verdict of
not guilty in the famous Mann act
case against William Rufus Edwards,
millionaire st. Paul lumberman.
Edwards was accused Of transport
ing Miss Ada Cox, a stenographer,
to st. Paul from Chicago for immoral
purposes.
AS Judge Anderson bitterly scored
her character, Miss Cox sobbed and
screamed in the court room and fin
ally had to be carried to an adjoining
office where her Mysteries were
quieted.
The courts action followed sensa-
tfonal disclosures Of Miss Cox's past,
in which men prominent in many
cities confessed to intimacy with her
previous to the time she alleged she
was betrayed by the millionaire lum-
herman.
The verdict Of not guilty was en-
tered without the jurors leaving their
seats.
ut is case where man got tired
of woman" Judge Anderson said.
"She turned around to get even. She
sued him. The government waited
until the last day Of the statute OF
limitations before they indicted him.
It is not fair to prosecute this man
after he has been fined $4,000 too
much already. This law is all right
and is good for its purpose, but this
case is an attempt to make this court
an instrument of black mail"
