ALL PRESIDENTS LIVED LONe
Sxcept Three Who Were Assassinated
Each One of Them Attained
Old Age.

An anonymous letter to the Lancet
discussing longevity among great men
recalls that the longevity of the presi
dents of the United States is remark
able. Their ages were as follows: Six
ty-seven, ninety, eighty-three, eighty
FIVE, seventy-three, eighty, seventy
eight, seyenty-nine, sixty-eight, seventy
one, fifty=three, sixty-fve, seventy-four,
sixty-four, seventy-seven, ffty-six, six
ty-six, sixty-three. seventy, forty-nine,
fifty-six, seventy-one, sixty-seven, fifty
eight years. Those at fifty-six, forty
nine and ffty-eight were, respectively,
Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley, who
we're assassinated. The ages of these
"a men totalize 1868 years, or an aver
age Of sixty-nine years each, showing.
us is believed, that the stress and re-
sponsibility Of leadership seem to have
no effect or longevity. The following

CORRECT RATION FOR DAIRY
Next in Importance Is Wedding Out of
Boarder Cows-Use Proper Feeds
With Judgment.

To make good clean milk at a profit
requires close attention to feeding and
management, says writer in an ex-
change. A farmer must feed correct
ration to the right kind of COWS in or
der to make money in the milk bust
ness.
Next in Importance to correct feed
ing is the wedding out of boarder
COWS. These take up your time and
consume the profit made from the
good COWS. We often hear Of the
drones OF q bee colony, but the drones
of a dairy herd are far more vital to
the owner. You can get counsel from
your county agent or your experiment
station as to arrangement Of rations
especially adapted to the general con-
ditions of your community.
TO be fair to yourself and to the
working cow you must use proper
feeds with judgment throughout the
year.

Through Sewer on a Bike.

Not since the fictional days of Jean
Vatican has trip through sewer
occupied so much space in print as
the one made recently by the engineer
of the newly constructed six and one
half miles of sewer at Pasadena, Cal.
The trip was an inspection tour and
was made on a motorcycle. To have
walked the full distance would have
taken several hours. So the engineer
conceived the plan of lowering motor
cycle into the pipe at the clean-out
hole in the beginning Of the main ar
terry and making q trip de luxe.
He had never before ridden motor
cycle. Hence he chose one equipped
with a tandem seat and selected an
experienced driver.
A gas headlight on the motorcycle
illuminated the passage. The distance
was traversed in two hours, in spite Of
the numerous stops made to investi-
gate walls and manholes.-Popular
Science Monthly.

DELICIOUS DISHES OF RICE
Five SUGGESTIONS for Those Who Are
Fond of the Cheap and Appe-
tizing Cereal.

To Boil Rice.-Pick over one cupful
Of rice, wash in two waters, drop in
one quart of boiled sailed water, cook
slowly on back Of stove. Never stir,
and when done each kernel will stand
alone. Pour into colander and set on
coolest part of stove. 1t should be
boiled in an open stewpan. One table,
spoonful of lemon juice added to water
in which rice is boiling makes it very
white and keeps kernels separate,
Rice omeIet.-Beat one cupful boiled
rice and two cupfuls of milk in q
smooth paste. Add two eggs well beat
en-, salt and pepper. Fry until brown,
cover with powdered sugar and serve
at once.
Rice Croquettes.-Put over fire in
double boiler one pint of milk and one
half cupful Of washed rice. Cook till
thick, add the yolks of two eggs, one
half teaspoonful of salt and two table
spoonfuls Of sugar. Remove from fire,
beat till smooth, add one-half teaspoon
full vanilla, bay leaf boiled in rice
and milk removed as soon as slight
flavor is given to add to daintiness Of
seasoning. Spread all on fiat dish,
and when cold form into cone shape.
Dip in egg, then in crumbs and cook in
boiling fat. This makes - croquettes.
Rice Bread.-One tumbler rice flour,
one and one-half gills of milk, one egg,
two teaspoonfuls butter, one table
spoonful cooked hominy, the white of
one egg beaten separately and added
last. Bake three-quarters Of an hour.
Rice Cornbread.-One pint boiled
rice, one pint cornmeal, one DESSERT
spoonful lard, one pint sour milk, two
eggs beaten well.

MANURE PRODUCED BY FOWLS
Value Is High Above That of Animals
plan to Take Best Care OF
Poultry Droppngs.

People have realized for years that
the manure produced by fowls and
birds is above the quality of that pro-
duced by animals. Hence, the value
of the deposits in South America
where so many millions of birds gath
err each year to breed. But if the poui-
tryman will carefully preserve the
manure from the hen roost, it Will be
of far more value to him than any
that he can get from South America.
To understand how to take care OF
poultry droppings is to get the best
results from it's use. The best plan IS
to keep the droppings in heap. To
prevent foul odors from arising from
the pile mix it thoroughly with earth.
The earth will, in the end, make the
manure all the more valuable. AS
soon as it is decomposed, it is ready
for use. Keep the dropnings under
shelter for they will lose much of their
valuable qualities if left out to be eS-
posed to the elements.

RAISING DAIRY CALVES
Best Plan for DaiTynlan to Main
tain and Build Up Herd.
TWO General Plans Outlined by Expert
of Missouri Agricultural College
for Reducing Cost of
Production.

Probably the best way for the dairy
man to maintain and build up his herd
is to raise his heifer calves. IT his
foundation COWS are good producers
and if he uses tested sire he can be
reasonably sure that the heifer calves
will be good producers. But with the
fast advance in prices of land and
farm products, the expense of raising
the calves is increasing. When the
young were allowed to suckle their
dams no such conditions existed, but
this practice is no longer economical.
L. w. Wing, Jr., of the Missouri
College of Agriculture, outlined two
general plans for reducing the cost OF
producing calves, in a lecture during
Farmers week at the University OF
Missouri this year. Where cream Is
sold he suggested that the calves be
fed whole milk for the first two or
three weeks and then gradually
changed to skim milk. The whole
milk should not be fed, even to the
largest calf, in excess Of three quarts
or about six pounds at a feed twice
day. The small calf, such as Jer-
sew, does not need more than two
quarts at a feed. When larger amounts
are given scours are apt to result.
After the calf has been changed to
skim milk the amount may be in.
creased gradually to IA or 16 pounds
a day.. Such feeding should be supple
mented with grain, preferably ground
corn or q mixture of three parts OF
corn and one part Of oats by weight.

WESTMORELAND DAVIS
PLEDGES ECONOMICAL
ADMINISTRATION

The Richmond, Va, News Leader
has printed an interview with West
moreland Davis, candidate for Gov
ernor, a. which he is quoted as saying
that the first step to obtain economy
in state government would be the in
auguration of what is known as the
executive budget, which would require
heads of state departments to furnish
The governor responsible estimates OF
heir needs, upon which a proposed
draft of an appropriation bill by the
chief executive, who is in daily touch
throughout the year with the various
departments Of the state. This draft
you'd furnish the basis of work for
he proper legislative COMMITTEES. 1t
-rou1d invite discussion by pubic and
-ress ard secure coordination Of de-
partmeptal effort.
"Again," said Mr.. Davis, 81 can see
no reason for executive sessions Of
legislative committees. The public is
entitled to know what their represen-
tatives ere dcine. and tho reason for
their acts. All bills considered should
BIO required t. be re1orte1 out Of legis-
lative committees, with recommended
ton for or against their passage. The
custom of killing bills in committees
Is pernicious. 1t is the life and de-
light Of the unscru0uloHs professional
lobbyist. The vote OF everv member
of a committee of the legislature upon
measures under consider ton should
become q public record, available to
bis constituents. Many maritorious
measures are killed in committee upon
unrecorded vote that woul1 become
beneficial law if discussed on the floor
of the general assembly"

Calves should be allowed to nibble hay
rs soon as they begin to eat grain.
Timothy or mixed hay should be fed
during the first two or three months.
Then some legume, alfalfa, clover, or
cowpea hay, may be given.
The farmers wlb sell whole milk
have another problem. Experience
has taught that the only method OF
replenishing herd and advancing pro-
duction is to raise the heifer calves.
The plan in general use at present is
to feed a minimum amount of milk
along with grain to give the cali
good start and take the milk away
after about two months, and then pu'
the calf on a grain ration.
Many attempts have been made to
find milk substitutes. OIL meal, blood
flour, and wheat middlings or flour
have made up the major portion Of
most of them. Those which have
proved most successful have contained
a small portion of powdered skim milk.
When they are fed, whole milk is given
for about the first month and the
calves are gradually changed to the
calf meal. This is fed as cruel
which has been previously heated to
145 degrees T. for one-half hour and
cooled to about 90 degrees F. at feed
ing time. The amount fed depends
upon the size Of the calf, but should
not be in excess of one and one-fourth
pounds per feed twice day. One
should have had experience in raising
calves before trying this method. Such
feeds enable a man selling milk at
high price at retail or wholesale to
raise his calves more cheaply than he
could be feeding fresh milk.

the hogs an easy prey to most hog dis

The way to fight hog lice is to use
a dip or crude oil freely, either by
means Of rubbing posts, which enable
the hog to take his own part in the
war against lice, or by dipping watts.
1t is a good deal more profitable to
spend money for dip or crude oil than
to continue to feed lice.
