MLallah Rookh" Centenary.

@0ss0ts s6ASsVNl G>SSueSn0Gys
Is the war holding back any poem
comparable with 'sLallah Rookh," the
publication Of which was delayed by
the Waterloo campaign, and took place
just a century ago?
Perhaps few read the famous ORR
entail romance nowadays, but Moore's
reputation when he wrote it was such
that he was able to sell it when he
had scarce put pen to paper. Murray
offered 1000 guineas for It, but the
poets friends thought this too little,
and approached tongman, stipulating
that the price should be mot less than
the largest amount ever paid for a
poem" '"That," said Longman, was
the $4,000 paid for 'Rokeby,'" and on
that basis bargain was struck, the
publishers only stipulation being that
Moore's poem should be equal to
Scott's in length. Even so, Longman
had the best Of the bargain. Seven
lalg editions we're sold within year,
AMI a quarter of a century later Long
mans still regarded 'sLallah Rookh'' as

Camphor groves may some day be
as familiar to us as peach orchards
and orange groves. Agents Of the de-
partment of agriculture have found
that when planted in hedges Is feet
apart camphor trees will yield each
year about eight tons Of trimmings to
the acre, from which about 200 pounds
Of gum camphor can be distilled. At
present prices that means profit Of
about $160 an acre. The camphor
trees are harder than many Of our

LIVE STOCK

False Economy to Permit Mature

False Economy to Permit Mature
Stock to Run Down In Condition.
In carrying cattle through the win
ter it is always desirable to econo-
mize as much as possible in feed.
Some practice feeding their cattle on
nothing but low grade feed early in
the season. saving the silage or alfalfa
hay to be fed toward spring, says the
Kansas Farmer. 1t is assumed that
this practice brings about more eco.
nomical use of the feed.
Feeders who have studied closely
this matter of wintering cattle have
found that 1t pays to supply a little of
the better roughage all through the
winter rather than saving all of it un-
til the last. It seems to result in q
more complete utilization Of the In
ferior feed to supply little that is
more palatable and nutritious along
with it. Cattle having a limited
amount of silage will actually con-
sumo more wheat straw and dry fod-
der. A little alfalfa not only helps to
balance the ration, but apparently
acts as a stimulant, and fodder and
other low grade feed will be better
digested than if it is fed without this
supplement.
It Is never a good plan to let stock
run down during the early part of the
winter. It should be the aim to keep
them in thrifty condition all through
the season. It IS always more expen.
sive to get cattle back into shape aft
er their growth and development have
once been checked. In wintering ma
ture stock COWS it is more economical
to keep them In reasonably good con-
dition all winter than to permit them
to get thin and then build them up by
better feeding toward spring.

THE AVERAGE REFoRMER.
National Crop Improvement service.l

National Crop Improvement Seryice.l
The average reformer having so
little at stake himself, plunges about
like bull in china shop, regard
Tess Of the results of his ardor.
An amusing incident is told Of the
Secretary of Commerce. The can
manufacturers put up howl that
unless they could get tin-plate to
make up, no canning Of fruits and
vegetables could be done, so without
looking over the field it is said that
an order was made that steel was to
be diverted by the manufacturers
from other projects and put at the
disposal of the can manufacturers.
1t looked all right on the face of it,
but when the manufacturers of har-
vesting machinery demanded steel
which they contracted for, and found
that there was not steel for aprons,
It having been diverted to cans, q
hurry-up call modifying the order
was issued, so that our harvesting
machines could be made in time for
the growing crop.
This illustrates how many plans
are ignorantly made robbing Peter
to pay Paul. Every enthusiast
who has pet reform which is
always hitting some other business
instead Of his own, never looks
around to see what the effect will be
before he plunges. The manufac-
turers of feed and the most success
full feeders in the country have a
right to demand that that delicate
machine-the dairy COW wshall not
be wrecked by hasty legislation.
Revolutionary reforms are seldom
!efticacious. Anything which disturbs
the food equilibrium should be
handled gradually. Experience has
shown that the most efficient way to
handle cereal products is to remove
the human food first and feed the
residue to stock Any other system
Is sheer extravaganza.

latest suggestion, and very good one:
To each teaspOOnful OF salt add one
fourth teaspoonful OF cream OF tartar
and a little sugar. Dissolve in a little
hot water and add cold water, A small
er dose OF salt is required when the
cream OF tartar is used. since IL hastens
