ON CALAM|TYS BRINK
FOR A WHOLE DECADE
That is What the National Ge.
ographers Say About a
Chinese Place.


WASHINGTON, May 24.-Tsinanfu,
one OF the chief centers Of disturbance
during the revolutionary outbreaks
now occurring in China, is the sub
ject of the following bulletin of the
National Geographic Society, issued
from its Washington headquarters:
THE disorders which are making a
political maelstrom of Esnanfu (also
spelled ChinanfuD, the capital OF the
province Of Shan-tung. China. gives

of 100000 inhabitants which has been
poised on the brink OF calamity for a
decade. 1t is in this vicinity that the
relentless Hoangho yellow river

bouches which may eventually parallel
the catastrophe caprice of 1887 when
1t broke through its banks at Kiafeng-
fu. flooding an area as large as the
state OF New York and entailing the
loss of more than million lives.
"Tsinanfu, with its triple walls, lies
four miles to the south o: the Hoangho,
whose riyer-bed year by year is ele-
waited above the contiguous plains,
while the natives continue to build up
the imprisoning levees. thus deferring

TREATMENT FOR MAIL WOUND
Take No Chances, as Lockjaw or Per.
manent Lameness May Result
Advice of an Expert.

1t is better to be safe than sorry
When a horse steps on a nail take no
chances. Remove the nail as soon as
possible and thoroughly cleanse the
wound. When q horse limps investi.
gate the cause. This is the advice of
David Gray. assistant in animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas state agricultural
college.
THE removal of the nail can easily
be accomplished with an ordinary claw
hammer, a small block of wood being
used as a fulcrum over which to pry,"
says Mr.. Gray. "If the nail is not too
large pair of pliers is suitable for
this work.
'If not cared for Immediately the
wound may cause loCkjaw or perma-
nent lameness. For cleansing the
wound n syringe and warm water may
be used if care is taken to cleanse
thoroughly. The best method is to ap-
ply literally any coal-tar product, such
as creolin, as it is effective in breaking
up the infection. If a nail wound is
given immediate and careful attention
the life of a horse is usually safe"

pandering to her popularity by bows
and set smiles; she remained before
the glass, prolonging the business. un-
til the applause subsidized.
Whitaker received an impression as
of tremendous force at work across
the foOtlights. The woman diffused an
effect as Of a terrible and boundless
energy under positive control. She
was not merely an actress, not even
merely a great actress; she was the
very soul Of the drama of today.
Beyond this he knew In his heart
that she was his wife. Sara Law was
the woman he had married In that
sleepy Connecticut town, ST. years be-
fore that night. He had not yet seen
her face clearly, but he knew. To find
himself mistaken would have shaken
the foundations Of his understanding.
Under cover of the applause, he
turned to Max.

his eyes shining.

was possible for her to make herself
heard, the actress swung round from
the mirror and addressed one of the
other players. Her voice was clear,
strong and vibrant, yet sweet; but
Whitaker paid no heed to the lines she
spoke. He was staring, fascinated, at
| her face.
Sight of 1t set the seal of certainty
upon conviction: She was one with
Mary Ladislas. He had forgotten her
so completely in the lapse of years as
to have been unable to recall her fea-

PLANS FOR FARM BUILDINGS
Landscape Architect of Iowa State Col
leqe Has Unique Scheme for Lo-
eating Structures.

Just as in a game of checkers, If,
in your farmstead planning, you take
little time to look before you move,
it's going to save a lot of regrets and
money later On, advises Il. ]. Pearse,
landscape architect with the agricul-
tural extension department at Iowa
state college. Mr.. PearSe has unique
scheme of laying out plans for locat-
ing new farm buildings.

he says, make a plan of your farm
stead; measure up the existing build
ings, fences, drives, tanks and silos
and locate them on Il plan drawn to

FEED cow IN WINTER
important That Milk Flow be
Kept Up in Cold Weather.
Oairyman Who Gets Best Results
Feeds Glover, Alfalfa or cowpea
Hay for Roughness-Include
Corn in Ration.

by c. H. ECKLES. Missouri College Of
Agriculture.)
The best results with mich cows
demands that the milk flow be kept
up during the winter as well as dur
ing the remainder of the year. A herd
that is allowed to drop in this particu-
lar when winter comes on not only
lowers its profit at that time, but is
hard to bring back when winter is
over. Reports received by the dairy
department of the Missouri agriculture
al experiment station show that aver
age cows in the best-managed herds of
the state often produce two or three
times as much butter during the year
as does the average dairy COW of the
state. This difference results largely
from the fact that these herds continue
high in their milk production during
the winter.
A good milk flow results largely from
careful feeding, although shelter and
other phases of management are also
important. The man who is getting
poor results is usually feeding timothy
hay, corn fodder, and corn, and per-
haps not enough even of these. The
man who is getting good results has
learned that such ration will not
enable a cow to produce milk enough
to mske it profitable. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy large quantities of expen-
sive feed to make a good ration, as it
can all be grown on the farm. If the
proper ration is not at hand, however,
II will usually pay to buy something
suitable. or possibly trade some of the
feeds on hand for others which will
give better results.
Man Who Gets Results.
The man who gets good results with
cows feeds clover, alfalfa. or cow
pea hay for the roughness, takes care
that the cows have plenty of it, and, If
he has some corn fodder, feeds some

of this in addition during the day, If
hay Of this class is fed, it is all right
to feed a considerable quantity of corn
for grain.
The feeds which are generally fed
in this section may be divided into two
classes. The first includes those lack
ing in protein. They are used main
ly to produce fat and do not have pro-
tein enough for milk production. In
this class we have corn, corn fodder
timothy hay, straw, millet and sor-
ghum. The second class Of feeds in
cludes those which contain more pro-
tein to supply the food necessary to
produce milk. In this class We have
clover, cOwpea and alfalfa hay, bran,
oats, cott0nseed and linseed meal. A
good daily ration will include feeds
from both of these classes and it Is
by feeding those in the first class only.
A good ration for q COW producing
from "a to % pounds of milk per day,
would be all she would eat Of clover

to six pounds corn, and from three TO
five pounds bran or oats Another fair
ly good ration for an ordinary cow is
all she viii eat of alfalfa or cOwpca
hay and eight to twelve pounds of
corn. Stll another would be clover
hay, as before, corn six TO nine pounds,
and cottonseed meal, two pounds per
day. These rations will be improved
