Cabled news from Scandinavia
has been rather sparse during
the past week. No new light has
been thrown on the conditions
prevailing in the three northern
countries, but whatever little in
formation has come thru seems
to indicate that the strictly neu-
trail attitude is being preserved
with the utmost rigor. The bel
licose talk in Norway appears to
have abated somewhat in spite
of the fact that the Norwegian
government last Saturday au-
thorized a statement to the eff
feet that five thousand Norwe-
gian seamen had lost their lives
in consequence of collision with
mines, or torpedoing by German
submarines. The winter is said
to be exceedingly harsh in Den
mark, and as coal prices are pro-
hibitive, the country's resources
of wood and Ignite coal are now
being drawn upon. In Sweden
the political situation which has
been quite turbulent during the
past year, has become almost
normal. A sane cabinet has
taken the reins of the govern
ment, and accusations of pro-
Germanism in Sweden appear to
rest on very flimsy foundation,

QUALITY OF PROTEIN VARIES
Source of Nutriment Is important as
Well as Quantities Furnished,
Say Wisconsin Experts.

Hart and Humphrey of the Wiscon-
sin experimental station report that
there is a difference between the
quality of proteins coming from vari-
GUS kinds of feeds. AS an instance,
an animal is able to use more of the
protein found in milk than in any
other article of food. Sixty per cent
of the protein in distiller's grain can
be used, 61 per cent of oilmeal, 45
per cent of gluten feed and 60 per
cent of skim milk powder when fed
with corn.
An animal producing from 40 to 45
pounds of milk daily and receiving no
skim milk powder stood no nitrogen,
but rather drew from her system in
proportion to the amount demanded.
No more protein was fed in the ration
when the skim milk powder was used ;
the results were simply owing to the
fact that in one form the protein was
usable, while in the other it was not
The source Of nutriment is therefore
important as well as the quantities fur
nished.

GROW CORN THAT IS ADAPTED
Most Profitable to Raise Crop That
Will Mature and Require Entire
Season to Ripen.

Cw. f. HANGER. Ohio College OF Agri-
culture.)
1t is the most profitable, ordinarily,
to grow corn that will mature and that
will require the entire growing season
in order to ripen. In the northern por-
ton of the state, corn that has been in
troduced from southern sections will
frequently not mature. In the south
ern portion of the state, on the other
hand, some corn is grown which does
not require the entire growing season
for its maturity. Such corn is of a
smaller type and does not yield as
much grain as the length of season
makes possible.
