Their Eqqs Miuht Help.

Ostrichcs In summer Will live al
most entirely on green alfalfa, and In
winter consume each about pound of
grain and three pounds of alfalfa hay
n day. 1t would seem therefore that
the sale of eggs might go long way
toward paying for the upkeep Of the
focks. Ostriches thrive In the dry
and sandy southwest, and upon alfalfa,
which is very easily raised in that re-
gion wherever irrigation is possible.
The average yearly yield of feathers
from an ostrich is little over
pound and their value in 1910 was
$50 to $50.

Perhaps the most notable specimen
of self-waterlng plants Is the so-cailed
"water barrel which, of about the
size and shape of an ordinary beer
keg is in fact nothing more or less
than living water tank. It's whole
interior is composed of storage cells
so admirably arranged that the pulp
which they form contains something
like 90 per cent pure water.

SAYS EFFICIENCY MUST RULE
Secretary Of War Baker Asserts That
Necessity Comes First in Re-
organizing the Guards

Washington, Sept. 25.-Military ne
eessity will govern the consolidation
of national guard units under the re-
organization plan Of the army, al
though wherever possible the troops
from each state win be kept together.

Icy today, in connection with protests.

ere assigned. with instructions to
bserye the wishes OF the state repre-
entatiyes so far as possible, but al
yays with the understanding that mill
tary efficiency was the primary object
to be served. In 10 case. 1t was indi-
Gated, will a change be made, except
where that efficiency will not be Inn
paired.
There are some guard regiments
with years Of traditions behind them,
ami special efforts will be made to
Dreserye these organizations. They
3ill be used as. the frame work for
Expansions, 1t was indicated, newer
Regiments which are merged into them
losing their identity. The Richmond
light infantry battalion is regarded as
an example in this category, Mr.. Baker
explained.
The war secretary called attention
to an interesting situation at CamI
Mills, where the 42nd, or "Rainbow'
national guard division. which he re
viewed Yesterday is modified. There
are two old national guard regiment
