FEEDING VALUE OF PLANTS.
Bureau of Chemistry Reports Results of
Research on Protein.

| The recent annual report Of the chief
of the bureau of chemistry. United States
| department of agriculture, shows that
much work of research nature has been
done during the past year on the chem
icsl composition of various cereals and
other plants in order to form the basis
for practical nutritive experiments. The
protens of the plants have been analysed
and new constituents discovered in some
of them. The feeding value of plants
has heretofore been estimated largely on
the basis of the protein they contained.
Investigations have shown, however, that
the proteins in various grains and other
feeds differ greatly in composition. Two
cereals which contain approximately the
same amount of protein may vary much
in feeding value because the protein in
one of the cereals contains certain con-
stituents necessary TO nutrition which
are lacking in the proteins OF the other
cereal
A new protein has been found i'm the
heterogeneous compounds of kafir corn.
The composition OF this new protein has
been determined. II contains the amino
acids lysin and tryptophan, both indis-

be made TO learn how katir may be fed
to make It no less valuable than maize.
The peanut has been found TO contain
an abundance of diamino nitrogen. This
form of nitrogenis indispensableto normal

in inadequate amounts in the common
cereals from which most feeds are de-
rived. Peanut press cake should there

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Swamp Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescription,
0vercomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention,
as they control the other organs to a re-
msrkable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more. rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles. smarting or burning. brickdust
or sediment. sallow complexion, rheuma-
tism. maybe weak or irregular heart &C.

quire help Immediately to avoid more
serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had most remarkable success as a kidney
and bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's
Swsmp-Root. There is nothing else like
it. II is Or. Kilmer's prescription used
in private practice, and it is sure to bene-

GRANITE BUSINESS
IS IMPROVING
Manufacturers Find Steady Improvement
in Demand for Spring Delivery,
Says Bradstreets.

Burlington Jan. 23-Vermont Office re-
ports granite manufacturers find steady
Improvement in the demand for spring
delivery and the number of employed is
increasing. With the granite quarry
owners the year just closed recorded
largest shipments of record and the out
look for coming year Is such as TO war
rant statement that the volume OF bust
ness will show an increase. The demand
for granite for building purposes improves
but slowly. Marble manufacturers indi-
cate liberal amount of business ahead
and state labor is we'll employed. There
is also a good demand for slate; tale
is also moving well. In the machine
line there is but little new to add, top
notch conditions prevail. Among those
concerns using brass for the manufac-
ture of parts of munitions the statement
is made that there is difficulty in OBJ
tanning brass which has interfered lit
tie with planned shipment. The coal
shortage and ear shortage still figure as
factors in general business. Manufac-
turers of garments, overalls, etc, report
a good demand and production is being
crowded to capacity. Seasonable wealth
er has made merchandising at the retail
stores active and the amount of business
done is reported fully as large as is usual
at this period of the year. Collections
vary from good to fair, although the
conditions as q whole are above normal.
This month so far has recorded the larg
est number of failures in the state, for
any January during the past ten years
with the exception of 1910. Failures for
the week numbered four, making total
of eight SO far this month. These were
mainly small ones.

ORANGE COUNTY FARMERS
ASSOCIATION NOTES.
Notes for Week Ending Jan. 20.

The county agent spent Monday ant
Tuesday afternoons of the past week al
the Tunbridge creamery testing samples
OF milk brought in by some of the pa
irons. Nine men brought in ~ samples
of milk from one days product of theiI
individual cows. Eight of the men also
weighed the milk and either weighed or
estimated the feed. This enabled the
county agent to figure the production
and profit per COW for the month, Some
| very interesting figures were obtained in
comparisons of different cows. Some of
them gave the months in which their
cows were fresh, and taking September
fresh cows there was variation In profit
of from .92 to 1899 over feed cost. In
one herd COW fresh in May was now
giving more milk than any other in the
herd, the rest freshening in August and
September. Cows producing the same
amount of fat in month varied in profit
from no profit above feed TO $500 when
giving % pounds fat per month. 1t is
such variations as these that make it seem
wise to the county agent for every farm
er to keep records OF his cows production
and feed and compare with others to see
if he is handling his cows as economically
as the other fellow. But two of the eight
who brought in samples in Tunbridge
were feeding what seemed to the county
agent satisfactory feed mixture.
To those who can join COW test asso-
citation this is as practicable method
as any for keeping such records. For
those who cannot do this, either because
of location or small size of herd, the
county agent is starting home dairy
record association. The dairyman weighs
the milk from each COW three days a
month, samples at least once in three
months from three day sample and has
ii tested. These records are made on
special blank furnished by the county
agent and forwarded to him. He has the
records summarized at the cost OF the
clerical work necessary and looks over
the records himself making what sugges
tions seem desirable for lettering the |

FOOD SHORTAGE IN GERMANY.
Great Increase in People Applying at

London. Jan 23.--The scarcity OF food
stufrs in Germany, especially in Berlin, is

pounds OF kohiradi From Dee. "a TO
Dec. n rations of seven ounces of -four

the consumer could only get three ounces

customers they may bring potatoes to
the eating houses, where they viii be

OF coal, theatres and restaurants are said

Billions In Checks.

The great bulk Of all payments in
this country involve a debit on tho
books of bank. Mostly they are made
by means Of q check, which Is charged
to the drawers account. Recorded
clearings of bank checks last yeaK
amounted to hundred and eighty-oddI
billion dollars. But, as we mentioned
little while ago, clearlngs involve
only those checks that are deposited in
some bank other than the one upon
which they are drawn, and In cities
large enough to maintain clearing
house associations.
An investigation by Bradstreets in
l7 cities indicates that total bank
debts are two and half times the
rmount of clearings. ibis would imply
that payments made last year through
banks in cities large enough to MAIN
tain clearing house associations were
nearly 100000, 100000, the Saturday
Evening Post observes. Add to that
payments In lesser cities and towns.

THE MARTYR OF MANNHEIM.

A UGUST FRIEDRICH FERDINAND
"A Won KOTZEBUE. who was born
mt Weiiner In 1761. and slain Mt Mann
helm in 1919, was one OF the great men
of his time. He Is among the most
celebrated of German dramatists, and
his originality Is attested by the fact
that his works have been mine for
later writer's Of all nations. He wrote
200 tragedies, dramas and farces, and
most of them were successful during
his lifetime. His best-known work Is
"The Stranger" which, so years ago,
was as popular and famous I'm the
United States as IL was in Germany.
He also wrote successful novels, and
a remarkable satire, in which he took
a fall out OF Goethe and Schiller. who
had declined to admit him to their so
ciety.
KOtzebue was trifle too fond Of
satire. When displeased with any per-
son or cause, he was wont to hold the
same up to public ridicule. This weak
ness led to his tragic death. His life
was adventurous. Much of It was
spent In the service of Russia. and
once he was banlshed to Siberia, but
was recalled year or two later by
Emperor Paul, who squared things by
giving him fine estate. His later
years were spent mt Mannheim, where
he was employed as correspondent by
the Russian government reporting
upon matters literary, artistic and in
tellectual. In these days such post
would be considered honorable. but Mt
that time many people believed he was
a Russian spy. When in satirical
mood he found much amusement in
making fun Of the "Bursenschaft"
