WASHINGTON COUNTY FARM
/, BUREAU ASSOCIATION.
Report for Week Ending Feb. 10.

This week has been occupied by the OK,
tension school at Berlin. The Berlin PEG,
pie are to be congratulated upon the sue.
| cess OF this institution. In spite of the
storm and cold weather it has proved one
OF the best schools that has been held in
the state this winter. The average at
tendance IN the mems section for the
nine day sessions was 25.5 and go came
out TO the evening lecture on Tuesday.
The home economics section for the la
dies was equally well supported and well
attended. The lecturers and speakers
and demonstrators from the university
as well az the county agent wish TO ex-
press their appreciation of tbs splendid
attendance and attention at this school
and trust that it will prove the benefit
it was intended.
Feeding Test on Soy Beans.
The bureau conducted several demon
strations of the growing of soy beans
with silage corn during the past summer.
1t was the intention of the county agent
to follow up these demonstrations with
feeding tests to ascertain if possible the
actual feeding value OF this legume Due
to the large amount of figuring and cal
culation involved it has been possible to
carry out only one such feeding demon
stration. This has been conducted at the
Dodge brothers farm and consisted of
the following:
Six cows were selected for the test and
accurate records were kept of their pro-
dnction. The feeding periods were d.
yided into four sections, each Of two
weeks duration. The first two periods
of two weeks each, the cows received con-
slant amounts of corn silage and grain.
1t was found that during these periods
that the cows were losing in production
at the rate of 81 per cent every two
weeks. This was due TO the fact that
the cows were progressing in the iacta
ton period and nearing calving. The
next period of two weeks the corn silage
was substituted by the corn and soy bean
silage, the amount remaining constant
throughout the period The fourth pc
riod of two weeks the corn and soy bean
silage was maintained in its constant
amount and the grain ration was cut one
pound per COW per day, which amounted
% a 24H per cent cut. The following |
,abulation shows the production during |
he four two-week periods:

The normal production is calculated by
the 81 per cent loss every two weeks as
indicated above That Is, the figures on
normal production represent the amount
| of milk that the six cows would have
given during these periods If we had con.
| tinued feeding corn silage alone. You
will note, however, that the production
during the two weeks that the corn and
bean silage was fed was 572 pounds in
excess of the normal for the period and
that it was also 26.6 pounds in excess OF
the normal production during the fourth
period when the grain was cut 24M per
cent. Four of the six cows made an nc
tual gain during the two weeks that
they were fed corn and soy bean silage
with the normal grain ration, It was
noticed that two of the cows in test fell
off slightly in flesh during the period of
the test. due probably to narrowing the
ratio of the protein to the carbohydrates.
This could be overcome by feeding more
OF the silage or adding a carbohydrate
feed to the grain ration.
We would calculate from the test that
the feeding of the soy bean and corn
silage will allow us to cut the grain ra
ton at least 20 per cent, where the silage
contains Is per cent of soy beans by
weight, as did the crop at Dodge broth
ers'. Following are several conclusions
on the value of soy beans for producing
milk: The gain for two weeks on six
cows tdue to soy beansl equalled 50 |
pounds of 5 per cent milk. Two thous- |
and five hundred and twenty pounds OF
silage worth Sl45 hundred, contain |
ing 300 pounds soy beans, was fed dur
ing this period. This would give feed |
ing value of $40 ton for the soy bean
silage alone. During the two weeks that |
the grain ration was cut saving of 81
pounds of grain worth Sl.7S was made
Win thc CoMs Htili pfouuSlIS ahoNS Hot
NAL. Figuring on this basis the value OF
the soy bean slage would be $3.50 per
ton. These values approximate those
given by actual analysis and serve as
check upon the feeding demonstration.
Having put the question of the feeding
value of soy beans TO the acid test, then,
we can thoroughly recommend their use
in connection with the corn for silage.
In view of the above values, the soy
beans furnish us cheap source of pro-
tein that can be raised on the farm. The
county agent is recommending mixture
Of six quarts of soy beans and 10 quarts
Of corn 10 the acre for silage Last year
there were some over POO acres OF soy
beans in the county and 1917 promises
several times this amount. BY growing
his kind of protein feed along with
Fariety of corn that will reach a reason
,ble degree of maturity for silage and
it with clover We shall
each position where we will not have
rear as much fear of the grsia bill.

cHINA's aBATTLE-Ax" COINS
Small Models Of Various Utensils
Used as Medium Of Exchange In
~ 2255 3. C.

Haskell Oriental museum at Univer-
sity of Chicago has recently been pre-
scented with a remarkable collection of
coins by Jacob Spelcher Of Shanghai,
China. Chinese coins, medals and am
ulets to the number of 844, arranged
In historical sequence, are supplement-
ed by coins Of AMMAN and Korea, with
few from the old regime of Japan.
Altogether, 1,0o8 specimens are in
cluded. The donor was engaged in
their collection some twelve years in
China. After being on exhibition for
three or four years ut the Boston Mu-
scum of Fine Arts, they are now per-
manently located In Chicago.
Our adjective "pecuniary" still bears
witness to the cattle which served
early Rome as measures of value. In
China likewise, but far earlier, actual
commodities had constituted the first
medium of exchange. The. Chinese,
however, seem to have preferred metal
objects, : especially battle axes and
knives. AS government credit became
established, 1t was found more con-
venient to coin small models of these
utensils The exhibit begins, then,
with "battle-ax" coins, some of which
date back additionally to the period
2255-1122 B. c. Even with the adop-
ton Of later date this would proba-
bly, give China first place in the study
of numismatics.
"Knife" coins form an interesting
group. Their round handles, with
holes In the center, two of which are
distinguished by square perforation,
are supposed to have furnished the
pattern for the round cash with square
holes SO regularly used later. Other
peculiar shapes are bridge" and the
pebblelike. pellets called by the Chi
nese numlsmatists "ant" coins. All
these Oldest, most brittle copper speci-
mems are mounted In handsome trays
OF camphor wood. The largest object
In Mr.. Spelcher's collection is a mag
nificent medal with dragon decoration,
bestowed as reward for loyalty by
the ruler, WI Tsung (1525 A. d..

Characters of nMaebsth.n

The names of some of the LEADING
characters In the play of Macbeth"
were borne by real persons who fig
ured In Scotch history, but the charac-
tiers themselves and the events of the
play are imaginary. Macbeth was a
Scottish king and Macduff was a Scot
fish nobleman of the middle ages.
History states that Macbeth slew Dun
can in 1880 because he had usurped
the throne to which Macbeth had the
better claim. But the circumstances
Of the Staying were entirely different
from those described by Shakespeare
with large poetic license. Banquo has
Scotch sound, but no person of that
name figures In Scotch history and
Shakespeare seems to have created
him mainly In order to name a ghost.
In the play he Is killed by order Of
Macbeth and In one of the most pow
erful scenes of the play his ghost ap-
pears at a banquet, visible only to
Macbeth, and terrifying him while I'M
seen by the other banqueters.

Dies Two Hours After Forecast ing That War Will End In

Mother, I am going to die within a few hours. am thankful this dread full war will end in September, 1917"
 This prediction was made in speech by 10-year old girl dumb since birth about two hours before she died. The story was told by George V. McNeir, banker
 According to Mr. McNeir. who was told the story by the girls mother, the child, exceedingly bright as an infant daughter of wealthy parents living near New York, was born dumb, with out even power of moaning as is or dinarily the case with mutes.
 When years old she developed a physical weakness and became an in valid, later partly regaining her health. She studied continually and at times displayed amazing powers and an as. tonishing grasp of general affairs of the world.
 She was deeply interested in the war
 Only once before the prediction as to the end of the war had she ever ut. tered a spoken word. Three weeks ago she became seriously ill and was put to bed. A few days later her mo ther entered the room bringing vase of flowers. She stumbled and drop ped the vase, whereupon the child startled her parent by exclaiming Why mother you have broken the vase and spilled the flowers!"
 Upon advice of physicians she re peated this experiment, hoping il might again cause the child to speak but to no avail The little girl never spoke again until she predicted hel own death and the end of the war; New York Times.
