Fewer Accidents In Paris.

Paris, July 2.-Thc prefecture of pc
lice has issued statistics of street ac-
cidcnts in 1914 aud 1910, from which
it appears that in 1914 there were -
killed. 2O.135 wounded and $3.50 cases
of material damages. Il total of GS.4o2.
For 1919 these figures were respective
ly 50, 1G.26S and > S,S30: total. Al. 1876.
The figures show that accidents have
decreased by one-third. the diminution
being due to the disappearance OF au-
to busscs from the streets and to the
general decrease in the number of We
hicles.
After tho first Zeppelin raid in March,
1915. street lighting was decreased. and
when agitation was started to resume
normal illumination one argument was
that the darkcned streets caused more
fatalities and accidents than Zcppclins
We're likely to cause. The second Yep
pclin raid put a sudden and complete
stop to this agitation. but official fig
ures seem to show that reduced illumi-
nation meant also a reduced number of
accidents.

The harm has been done. There is no

The careful and thoughtful dairyman

Oats In Dairy Ration.

In a test at the Wisconsin station
four cows We're fed a ration consisting
of six pounds of clover hay and all the
corn stove they would eat up clean.
With a grain ration consisting of ten
pounds OF ground oats and two pounds
OF cornmeal. Two of these four COWS
We're given ten pounds Of wheat bran
and two pounds of cornmeal. These
four COWS We're fed these rations for
a tWenty-one day period alternately,
and it was found that when oats were
given in place of the wheat bran the
COWS produced about 10 per cent more
milk and II per cent more fat. Bran
is richer in protein and therefore will
be more efficient than oats in balancing
a grain ration. Oats is a very good
feed when added to other grains and
at a price of 30 to 81 cents per bushcl
will be found a profitable feed for
dairy coWs.-Orange Judd Farmer.
