Status of Arab Nation.

The Arab nation is without money
or natural resources. It's territory con
tains neither mineral nor external agri-
cultural wealth-but the redemption
Of Mesopotamia will afford the Arab
of the future opportunity for aggran-
dizement. There, under semi-inde-
pendence, after barrages on the Tigrs
and Euphrates have been built by Brit
ish energy and cash, Bagdad may rise
to higher scale of learning, splendor
and wealth than under the caliphat of
Haroun al Raschid.
OF the entire outcome from the war,
therefore, notes a correspondent, the
Arab renaissance Is assuredly not the
least momentous. Historically, 1t will
mark the advent of a new era; ethno-
logically 1t becomes a charming study
of futurists of literature.

Recalls Economy of 1864.

Let the persons who think wheatless
and meatless days are a hardship lis
ten to the venerable men and women
whose memories take them back to the
Civil war, says the Anaconda (Mont.)
Standard.
Roasted barley, parched corn, chic
DRY roots, and even dandelion roots,
dried and roasted, were used as cof-
fee substitutes. White or graduated
sugars were Il rarity, and only on the
table for company. Brown sugar and
old-fashioned black molasses, bread
and honey and even bread and ham
fat were considered pretty good enough
for all but the old people. In those
days nearly every family in town kept
a COW. Those who didn't, as a rule,
went without milk. The papers of
that day emphasized the fact that cOf-
fee and tea were more nutritious when
used without milk.

FISH MEAL GOOD FOR cows
Nutritive Value as Affecting Milk or
Butter Production Compares Well
With Cottonseed.

The use Of fish meal as feed for
dairy cows is not strictly new feed,
but only lately has the government
seriously undertaken n study of it as
a practical ingredient in dairy rations.
Fish meal is a by-product of the fish
industry. Waste from salmon and
sardine canneries is especially excel
lent for the manufacture of high-grade
fish meal.
Preliminary experiments made by
the u. S. Dairy Division show that
the meal has no detrimental effect on
the quality of milk or butter, and that
the nutritive value of fish meal as
affecting production compares favor
ably with cottonseed meal. An aver
age analysis of fish meal is as fol-
lows: Water, per cent; ash, 16;
protein, 60; fat, IA; salt, 8.
Fish meal is manufactured from the
fresh waste of fisheries by process
of steam cooking, pressing, and dry
ing. 1t is preferably made from fresh
water fish to avoid too high content
of salt. Dried-fish products, known
as fish scrap of "pomace," are used
considerably for fertilizing purposes
and fish meal fed TO farm livestock re-
tains all it's valuable fertilizing prop

cows REQUIRE PURE WATER
Supply Constitutes Three-Fourths Of
Volume Of Milk and Demands
Dairyman's Attention.

All animals require plenty of good,
pure water This is especially true of
the milking cow, as water constitutes
more than three-fOurths of the volume
Of milk. The water supply, therefore,
demands the dairyman's most careful
attention. Stale or impure water Is
distasteful to the COW and she will
not drink enough for maximum milk
production. Such water also may
carry disease germs which might make
the milk unsafe for human consump-
ton or be dangerous to the cow her
self. During the winter, when cows
are stabbed the greater part Of the
time, and unless arrangements have
been made to keep water before them
oil the time, they should be watered
two or three times day. If possible.
the water should be Is or 20 degrees
above the freezing point, and should
be supplied at practically the same
temperature every day.

The Portuguese never whistle at

talk TO themselves also communicate

If the wind should blow open the
door of the house, no one should ever
say, even in joke, "Come ill.," as
people often do, for the devil Is liable

PUREBRED SIRE OF Benefit

URGE SWIMMING RICH CREAM
Saving Can BE Accomplished by Turn
Of Cream Screw, and Is Well
Worth Effort Required.

In Swimming a hundred pounds Of
35 per cent cream, 10 more pounds Of
skim milk is kept on the farm than
when the same amount of 20 per cent
cream is taken. This saving can be
accomplished by turn of the cream
screw, and at present feed prices is
well worth the effort required. More
skim milk on the farms also means
more calves raised to furnish meat
and milk for all. Milk producers are
paid for the butterfat In cream; not
for the water and other constituents.
This makes It advisable to skim q
rich cream.
