The I. H. C.. farms at Grand Forks.
N. D., and Aberdeen. s. D.. made a
profit last year-paid all labor, and
running expenses, rent on land and
interest On h investment in stock
and machinery. This was possible
only because stock were fed on these
farms. Since the first of January we
have sold two carloads of cattle from
the Aberdeen farm, and some surplus
Of our own raising from the Grand
Forks farm.
These cattle have been fed alfalfa
hay, and silage. from a pit silo, and
have been sheltered in straw sheds
that did not cost 81 per head for
stock that they will hold, and have
proven satisfactory in every way. We
can almost count the gain in live
stock as profit, because growing corn
and alfalfa. and feeding it on the
farm and putting the back,
has increased the production of the
farm until it produces enough above
what 1t would without this treatment
to feed fifty head of cattle. On Il half
section farm it will require very little
extra labor to car for this sumber
of cattle.

the very great increase in the acreage
of corn and alfalfa. and the number
Of i've stock. There is every reason
to expect this increase to continue
as the demand for diversified farming
II becoming more i%nsistant each year.
Temporary decline in prices, or eX-
c%eptionally high yields Of grains, due
to favorable seasons, may cause some
slight setback at times. but corn,
alfalfa. and live stock ire a certain
combination, and cannot be beaten.

days the corn was shelled before
grinding, The grain was added to the
silage at feeding time. Feeding grain
was begun at five pounds per head
daily, and increased gradually to what
would be about half a full grain ra-
ton. IL 1-2 pounds each per day. The
object was to utilize the silage to the
eaten more grain in preference to the
silage.
n winter was unusually severe
during January and February, and
the cattle did lot do nearly as well
during this time as they would have
during normal winters. One steer
died; another developed wooden
tongue" or actinomycosis, and made
very little gain. The steer that died
cut an artery Of the ear on a fence
and bled badly, and this evidently
caused other complications, as there
was evidence Of impaction.
AS we nave usually struck a good
market about June 1, we guaged our
feeding for this time, but would have
struck a slightly better market q week
earlier. The following is the cost,

The EGYPTIAN Scale.

rrhe seven great tones of the Egyp-
ton scale represented among the tenn
pie priests the planets Of Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and
Venus. The scale mystically repre-
sented also the seven days of the week,
the different keys indicated the gods
and goddesses of the old time. The
veil of the old Egypt, says one writer,
has never been lifted. Nor can the
modern mind follow through all its
mazes that system Of music, philoso-
ply, religion, astrology, astronomy and
pantheIsm of which one Of the notable
expressions was the music drawn from
the harps and Tyres. From these mys-
teal sources have descended to us the
modern orchestra, the stringed choir,
the violins, cellos, BASES, violas. The
most direct e1ample-the harp-is no
more now than mere adjunct.

Tilted Block of Earth's Crust

FL Salvador is the smallest Of the
American republics. Its population Of
100000 is closely packed In its 1875
square miles. 1t really is tilted block
of the earth's crust. Now and then the
crust settles down little, or rises a
little more, and buildings crash. Or
the earth may split open at different
localities, gulp down houses and hui
man beings and close again. When
ever this happens the slumbering vol
canoes are prodded and in their anger
vomit forth fire. Again 1t may be only
q slight shift Of some part of the earth
which releases large volume Of water
imprisoned in the yawning crater Of a
dead volcano. The water splashes
down on the liquid lava far down in
side the earth ard the volcano begins
splutterlng.

Well, Maybe So.

A fiction writer is the hero Of this
story:
Last summer he was going through
4 particularly dangerous stretch of
road in the mountain Businesses of
Kentucky. A COW, dazzled by the head
light, failed to get out of the road and
the car smashed into her, putting the
lighting apparatus out of commission.
'gThere were many lightning bugs
flying around" he said, "and so 1 set
the members of my party to work
catching them. We used bottles that
we had in our lunch boxes, and filled
two full of the bugs. They gave out a
glow that could be seen probably 300
feet ahead. We tied the bottles, well
corked, on to the front of the car,
and then proceeded into the village
safely. I rarely tel! of the expert
ence, because few will believe 1t, but
1t is fact"
