FEED FOR MILK PRODUCTION

Common cows are frequently capa-

Acid Typography.

Artistic designs can be burned In
wooden surfaces by the use Of an
acid solution formulated properly
with equally as good results as are
obtained with the topographic needle.
A 20 per cent solution Of s1llphuric
acid should be mixed in an ordinary
ink bottle, and the liquid tinted with
red ink or other coloring matter, 80
that the acid line will be visible when
it is applied.
After the design has been printed
or drawn on the wood surface a tai
lor's iron should be rubbed carefully
over it until the desired shade is OBJ
tanned. The acid should be painted
over the design with small cameps.

Sugar, Sir?

Sugar was not known as an article
of commerce among the Greeks, and
it is not mentioned in the Bible, show
ing that it was not known to the He
brews. The sugar cane is believed to
have grown wild in India, and while
no reference to sugar can be found to
300 A. D. there is no doubt that the
juice OF the cane was in use long be-
fore that period. The art of the evapo-
ration of the juice to a solid substance
is an Indian invention of about the
seventh century, and was spread all
over the then known world. The Arabs
and Egyptians prepared candy at an
early date by recrystallizing the sugar
obtained from the pressed cane.

TORTOISE OUTLINES The HARE
Rabbit May Get to Be Five Years OF
Age, but the Other May Reach
Four Hundred.

The ages of living things vary from
moment to hundreds Of years. The
tortoise is said to take the prize
among all land animals for length Of
years. This animal lives, under favor
able conditions, 300 or 400 years. One
died in London in 1906 which was said
to be at least $50 years old. The
crocodile, too, sometimes lives to be
300.
The tortoise has to give in to the
whale, however, sor the latter often
lives to the age of five hundred That
is probably the Oldest age reached by
any creature which exists upon the
earth today.
The common little English sparrow
lives longer than most Of us imagine.
Scientists tell us that some of them
get to be forty years old. This is a
ripe old age for SO small a bird. The
robin, which is much larger, lives
only ten or twelve years. The eagle
holds the record for age among the
birds. 1t may live to be 100.
The elephant lives, on the average,
about as long as the eagle. The old
est age among our common domestic
animals is reached by the horse,
which often reaches so or more. This
is practically the same as the age of
lions and camels. The cow. may live,
to be %, the dog Is, the rabbit about
FIVE. Most Of US know, however, OF
cases in which common beasts or
birds have lived to much greater ages
than are allotted them ordinarily.

of 1913.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 3.-The to-
tai worlds consumption of American

81 amounted to l4,Sl3,000 bales. an
increase of $4,000 bales over the
preceding season, according to a state
ment issued today by II. G. Hester.

the year just ended among southern
mills was 4,047.000 bales, against
3,131. 900 the preceding year; among
northern mills. 3,OO5,O0O against
2,6lS.000 last year; among foreign
mills. 7761,OO0, against S.053, 600 last
year These figures showed the gain
in worlds consumption of American
cotton was entirely among mills in
this country and it was sufficiently
large to more than offset Il small loss
abroad.
Mr.. Hester placed the total visible
and invisible supply of American cot
ton July 81 last at 3,635,000 bales,
against 5,629,000 at the end of the
preceding season The total visible

The return of =. a. Mangan, city

awaited with a great deal of interest

which have accumulated during his

ure, which will be Kept before the

Senator Robinson in presenting the
bill on behalf Of the commerce COM
mlttee, told his southern colleagues
there was a strong sentiment in favor
Of it in their states. He read eX-
tracts from newspapers in North and
South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia,
Mississippi and Texas favoring child
labor legislation.
Power to Regulate Complete.
Answering contentious that the pro-
posed act would effect an unconstitu-
tional tIanSgression of the rights of
the states, the Arkansas senator de-
clared that under decision of the SUI
preme court the power of congress to
regulate commerce is complete and

stitution itself; that the only limita-
tion is the fifth amendment, which
provides that no person shall be de-
prived of life liberty or property
without due process of law; that the
fourteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition imposes the same limitation on
the states as that imposed by the
fifth amendment on the federal gov
ernment; and that 'if the states in
the exercise Of the police power can
suppress evils of child labor, con-
gress through its power to regulate
commerce can promote the same end
by denying the channels of commerce
to persons and enterprises in the in
terest of the public health. morals
and safety"
Senator Robinson asserted congress
could do indirectly great many
things that it could not directly per-
form.
The lottery cases and the white
slave cases decided by the supreme
court" he said, affirm the power of
congress to enact legislation in the
nature of police regulations through
its power to regulate commerce: that
congress has as much power to sup
press recognized evils in the condi-
tions surrounding the production or
manufacture of commodities through
q regulation of commerce as it has to
accomplish the same end after trans
portation has ended"

No Comment Made.
While no formal comment was
made at the department in advance
of official notification, there was
nothing TO indicate that the three
commissioners named, Messrs Ca

be entirely acceptable to department
officials. President Wilson has a
score of men under consideration for
appointment as the American repre-
sentatives, but it is understood he has
not attempted 50 far to make d
choice.
There are many indications that
high army officer will be one of
those selected by the president be-
cause of the military nature of the
problems to be considered. Major
General Goethals has been mentioned
The other men under consideration
include members of the supreme court
and men in close touch with CONNER

Department officials have refused

they desire the commission to treat

talked over.
