lWhX Sniders EIGHT.

When two spiders fight there is gen
orally a good reason for the attack
and the vigorous defense that follows.
It is not generally known that after a
certain time spiders become incapable
Of spinning a web from lack of mate
rial. The glutinous excretion from
which the slender threads are spun is
limited; therefore spiders cannot keep
on constructing new snares when the
old ones are destroyed. But they can
avail themselves of the web producing
powers of their younger neighbors, and
this they do without scruple. AS soon
as a spiders web constructing mate
rial has become exhausted and its last
web destroyed it sets out in search OF
another home, and unless it should
chance to find one that is tenantless a
battle usually ensues, which ends only
with the retreat OF death Of the in
vader or defender.

COUNTY AGENT

Mr. D. S. Knight is in receipt of
the following letter from Mr.. Clark
S Wheeler of the Extension Depart
ment of the College of Agriculture of
The Ohio State University:
During the past year, we have had
some correspondence with you about
County Agricultu1 al Agent work. We
have endeayored to answer your in
quiries as far as was practical in a
letter However, we have felt that
unless you were already somewhat
familiar with this movement, you
would not be able to get very broad
view of it from correspondence alone.
Should you continue to have an in
terest in the matter. you will be able
to learn a good deal about County
Agent work as now carried on in this
state at the COUNTY FARM BUR-
EAU CONFERENCE to be held at
the University on Thursday February
/, 1917. At this time several speak
ers will outline various phases OF the
work.
A program of this meeting will be
sent you within a few days.
Very sincerely yours,

CORN AND OATS

Contrary t4 popular opinion that
horses fed oats have more life. keep
in better condition and endure work
better, especially durlng hot weather.
than horses given a grain ration con-
sisting largely or exclusively of corn,
an experiment conducted for AZ weeks
at the Ohio Experiment Station with
work horses showed that oats are not
superior in efficiency to corn. Econ
omy in feeding is generally in favor
of corn.
Three teams of mature geldings
were used, one horse in each team be-
ing fed oats and the other an equal
weight of ear corn in connection with
mixed clover and timothy hay. There
was practically no difference in the
changes in weight during the year be-
tween the two lots. No differnece due
to the feeds used was observed in the
spirit and endurance of the horses.
The cost of feeding the corn-fed
horses, with corn at 80 cents a bushel,
oats at so cents and hay at $40 ton,
was $85.65 for the 48 weeks, as COM
pared with charge of S122.19 for the
horses given oats. Animal husband
men at the Experiment Station, con-
sidering the relative prices of these
two grains over long period of years
say that corn may be substituted for
oats for work horses with a material
saving, and therefore should be given
large place in their rations when
ever market conditions warrant its

Extinction of the Buffalo.

Speaking of the extinction Of the
buffalo, the director of the New York
geological park said:
''It is by no means true that the ex-
termination of the buffalo is due most
ly to the encroachment of human be-
ings on their feeding grounds rather
than to their wholesale slaughter. The
great bison herds of the plains, from
Saskatchewan to Texas, were all of
them exterminated by systematic robe
hunting, hide hunting in summer, kill
ing for tongues and slaughter for all
other excuses imaginable. This oc-
Cured long before any of their ranges
were wanted by man either for cattle
grazing or for agriculture. The legiti-
mate industries of man played no part
whatever in the determination of the
bison, either west or east. The slaugh,
ter was systematic and deliberate and
far in advance Of the agriculturist and
the stock grower."-New York Times

Mark Twain,s Prophetic Wish.

Astronomy was one of Mark Twains
favorite subjects. Neither of us had
any real knowledge of the matter,
which made its great facts all the
more thrilling. The thought that the
nearest fixed star was 25,000,0 100000
600 miles away - one-fourth million
times the distance to our own remote
sun-gave him sort of splendid thrill.
He would figure out those great meas
urements of space, covering sheets of
paper with his sums, but he was not a
good mathematician, and the answers
were generally wrong. Comets in par
ticular interested him, and one day he
said:
81 came in with Halley's comet in
1885, 1t is coming again next year,
and l expect to go out with it. 1t will
be the greatest disappointment of my
life if l don't go out with Halley's
comet"
He looked so strong and full of color
and vitality one could not believe that
his words held prophecy.-'TheB Boys
Life of Mark Twain" by Albert Bige-
low Paine, in ST. Nicholas.

TEST EFFECT OF ATHLEICS

Columbus, O., Jan. 19-Fluoroscoplc
tests of the effects of. athletics on
members of Ohio States basket ball
team are being made from time to
time at the University Hospital under
the direction of members of the fac
ulty of the College of Medicine.
X-Bay photographs of the actual size
of the heart are being taken and the
results will be compiled. Before en-
gaging in athletic competition of any
sort all candidates for Ohio State
athletic teams are examined for or
ganic defects. DR.. J. Herbert Nichols
of the department of physical educa-
ton, who has this work in charge
characterizes the so-called "athletic
heart" as "big bogey." "Our own
investigations here at Ohio State, car
ried out on the members of the cross
country team of last fall" he con-
tinued, Showed a better muscular
tone of the heart after the men had
been in training than before. The
athletic heart docs not exist in men

ACID PHOSPHATE SUPERIOR
TO RAW PHOSPHATE ROCK

Acid phosphate in field tests con-
Quoted for nearly 20 years by the Ohio
Experiment Station has proved to be
not only more effective but also a
cheaper carrier of PHOSPHORUS than
ray phosphate rock for crops under
conditions which render freight charg-
es relatively large part of the cost
of the fertilizer. These tests have in
cluded experiments with these two
fertilizing materials by themselves,
and in connection with other fertili-
zers, with lime and with barnyard ma
nure.
Acid phosphate is made by treating
raw phosphate rock, or floats with an
equal weight of sulphuric acid. This
process reduces the percentage of
phosphorus but increases it's solubility.
The acid phosphate therefore costs
more and freight on it is higher also
Still, the tests at the Experiment Sta
tion show that, while raw phosphate
may be used with profit on land defci-
ent in available phosphorus, acid phos-
phate has produced increases in crop
yields more than sufficient to meet
! the larger cost

RESISTANT VARIETIES
SAVE CABBAGE INDUSTRY

, OA II NADDAUG N L
Successful cabbage growers near
Clyde, Ohio, after six years. trials in
cooperation with the Ohio Expert
ment Station, have obtained strains
resistent to yellow disease, or Fusar-
ium wilt. The All Seasons variety has
shown the least tendency to this dis
ease, and it also possesses qualities
demanded by the kraut industry.
Plants have been selected for seed
which have shown the strongest
growth and the greatest freedom from
disease.
This procedure in combating cab
bage yellows has proved far more
successful than soil sterilization and
other direct control methods, growers
say. Under conditions of continual
attack by disease, certain plants de-
velop characteristics that ward off
ravages of such parasites. By con-
tinual careful selection and propaga-
ton desired types are produced that
thrive even where disease is abundant,
while common varieties die or else
yield poor returns.
The especially resistant strains of
the All Seasons cabbage have been
named the Clyde Series Nos. to 7.
Nos. /, 2 and have proved most re-
sistant. Within a year or two the Ex-
pertinent Station expects to distribute
the seed of these strains to growers.

How to Make Use of vermin,

In Paris. says writer in the New
York Sun, rats are made to serve a
useful commercial purpose. When the
animals are caught they are put into a
deep walled pit and fed regularly.
Once month there is a general ex-
ecution, accomplished in scientific
manner by means Of gas. By that
time the rats are sleek and plump, and
their hides are in excellent condition.
The hides are removed and treated
and eventually are made into "kid''
gloves. 1t has also been found that
the skins can be used for bookbinding
and in the manufacture Of photograph
frames.

BRYAN TALKS ON SUFFRAGE

Columbus, O., Jan. Iy-Whllam J.
Bryan in his address before the stu

this week, classed the three greatest
issues before the country today, as
woman suffrage, prohibition, and
peace "The requirements for vot-
ing" he said, "are intelligence and
capacity. Woman does not lack either.
In any penitentiary the large majority
of inmates are men. In fact, it is
pretty we'll established that less than
per cent. are women. But go to
church and you will find this reversed
If then women have sense enough to
keep out of the penitentiary and NOR
ality enough to go to church, have
they not intelligence enough to go tc

Establishing a precedent by being
the first aviator and owner of an
aeroplane to enlist as private in his
country's military service, Charles E.
Hays, cartoonist, reporter and bird
man, today joined the flying squad of
the United States Marines at the
i Aeronautic Station at Pensacola, Fla.
The youthful aviator, who rejected
the temptation to go abroad in belief
that his country has the first demand
for his services, is eager to demon
strate his skill as flyer, and expects
to win rapid promotion in the "sol-
diers of the sea-"
Young Hays says that he hopes to
achieve success through merit alone,
and ignores the inference that by own
ing and operating an aeroplane he is
bound to rise in the world.
