CORN, OATS, WHEAT FOR FEED
Interesting Experiment at Wisconsin
Experiment Station With Three
Lots Of Heifers.

In an experiment at the Wisconsin
experiment station three lots of heif-
ers weighing about $50 pounds were
fed equal amounts of nutrients. For
one lot the nutrients were wholly from
the wheat plant, another from oats
and the third from corn. All lots grew
at about a normal rate, but after a few
months it became easily observable
that the wheat lot was not so well
nourished as the others. This was EVIL
dent from the appearance OF the coat.
The cern and oat-fed lots bred earlier
than the wheat fed one, showing that
the latter were depressed In some de-
gree. The corn-fed lot produced calves
which were Of normal size and full of
vig0r. The oat-fed lot produced calves,
which were Of about normal size but
with very low vigor, while those from
the wheat lot were about half as large
as the normal calf at birth and were
dead or ready to die when born. When
half Of the roughage Of the wheat lot
was replaced with alfalfa hay the
calves were normal.
No reasons have yet been worked
out as to why these foods should act
SO differently but it is important to
know how they affect animals.

MONEY IN PLANNING WISELY

1t Is a curious thing that business
men who would not do SO much as to
drive a nail into the wall Of their Of
fee without first making sure that
there was no gas pipe or electric wire
hidden in the plaster at that point, will
drive ahead with schemes involving
heavy expenditure Of public money
without asking themselves what rela-
tlOnship this has with other conditions
which exist or which will materialize
in the future. Looked at in this way,
town planning Is merely common
sense, prudence, such as every man
who wishes to continue solvent must
employ in his own daily work.
For instance, extensions are being
made to the car route. Is 1t not better
to have a thoroughgolng town-plan-
ming scheme prepared so far as it re-
lates to the provision of car route IA
cilities before making this one small
addition. so that we may be sure that,
us things develop, this addition may be
made In the right place to fall In with
larger schemes to be developed here
after? Or again, If we are building a
fire engine station, is 1t not better to
have the city parceled out into prop
erly balanced fire control districts, with
every existing and future fire engine
station shown in its proper relation to
the central headquarters, and In rela-
tionship to new roads which must
some day materialize, but which are
Mt present unmade, SC that we be sure
that we are placing it just at the point
where the engine will most easily
reach every part of the district it Is

"These are not altogether taken in

"This latter condition has become

of popular demand. Here Is a field in
which three departments of the gov

them as yet has worked out anything
that is sufficiently satisfactory to call
1t a solution. Our internal commerce
is worth many times. our foreign trade
