and his son., James a. Rovcc, both OF
Denver, have heard that they are pos

out in 1912.
The descendants of Thomas Rovce

many's experiments with substitutes

plosives have been so successful, it has
beer announced here, that for eight
months no cotton has been used for
this purpose. This statement was made
by the president Of the Bremen cham

convention OF merchants Of this city.
After referring to the designation OF
cotton as c%ontraband by Great Britain,
| he said:
Il have had the opportunity to estab-
lIsll officially that for eight months not
a kilogram Of cotton has been used i'm
making powder. Thanks to the work
OF German science and industry, we
nave succeeded in winning from the
unreasonable supply of German for
eSts a new cellular material which is
cheaper and better suited for powder
making than cotton. Even after the
war German AMMUNITION factories will
not buy another bale Of cotton from
America.
The second important ingredient,
saltpetcr-of the entire Chilean output
OF which we formerly took two-thirds-
is now manufactured exclusively i'm
Germany from the air. Our factories
already are SO advanced that in the
coming spring they will be able to
cover the entire requirements for nj

they will even be able to export this

The speaker also asserted that cam

Memorial to Grover Cleveland,

Caldwell. y. j.. Jan. 3O.-Application
has been made to congress-. through
the New Jersey senators. to set aside
the property on which is located the
house in which Grover Cleveland was
born rs a national reservation.
The property is now owned by the
Grover Cleveland Memorial a~ssocin-
ton. comprising about a hundred
friends Of the late president of the
United States. The object in having
the government take over the house
and land is to have the place main
tanned as a national memorial.
1t is not believed that there will be
any opposition to the plan, as it does
not call for a heavy expenditure. The
building and grounds have been paid
for by the association. which also has
a small balance in it's treasury that

The gentler the foal is the moro

horse does not reason. He is a crea-
ture of habit. He learns his lessons nv
repetition. and the younger he is the
more readily he receives the desired
impression. Fear, not meanness. is the
underlying cause of nine-tenths of nil
the trouble horses get into in their re-.
latlons with mankind, and the sooner
they Fan be taught that man is Il
friend. not Il foe. the less will be the
likelihood of ructions and accidents.
One of the most important points. If
not the most so. in the education of a
horse is to teach him in his earliest
colthood to have his feet picked IN all
around. one at a time. and enjoy the
operation to the point of assisting in it.

of a little chap if he is used right. and
can be taught to do many useful things
and tricks. if desired. Tricks are Of no
real use to a working horse. but the
familiarity with man which the effort
to teach them affords is often worth
good money in dollars and cents.

has been studied for Il period OF eight
years.
The work at the station consisted in
dividing forty heifer calves into two
groups. One group received a heavy
ration from birth to first calving. the
other group was given Il light ration.
The heavy ration consisted of whole
milk during the first six months and all
the grain and hay the heifers would
eat. The light fed group received
skimmilk during the first six months
and hay and pasture only after this
age up to first calving. \. further fac
