RAPE IN CORN AS A TANKAGE
SUBSTITUTE;

To hog-of corn is practical, but to
secure maximum returns, the corn must
be supplemented. OF tankage at least
three pounds are required to each
bushel of corn. If the field yields only
80 bushels per acre this means using
at least 80 pounds Of tankage, costing

per acre) before or just after the last
cultivation makes an excellent substi-
tue for the tankage and costs much

Alaska Dogs in Alsace

James Il. Hare in Leslie's
 In company with other American cor respondents, I had started in high-pow- cred motor cars, up the foot hills of the Alsatian mountains until the grad es became too steep. continuing the ascent in dog sleighs, and seighs drawn by mules dumped out of both in a bliz- gard.
 How my old friend Jack London would have enjoyed the dogs, with the sleighs !
 1 could easily have believed I was in Aiaska-deep snow all around, the ex- cited dogs eager to get started on their journey, barking and yelping as though possessed. rolling over in the snow and getting their harness all tangled up.
 Io prevent them running off before their time, the sleds were tied with 2 rope to trees by the trail. There were nine dogs to a team, four pairs and the leader, and as each man was assigned to as led. it made a very easy load for them The commander told us that they could go 40 miles a day with loads vary ing from 600 to 1000 pounds, according to the condition of the trail
 We went followed the-lead fashion. 10 sleds in all, consisting of the six American correspondents, two staff of fcers. one divisional captain, to which the dog teams were attached; and the commander of the dogs, who by the way, was a Canadian engaged for many years in the Hudson Bay fur trade.
 I don't know whether the man in charge of my sled failed to stand upon the pronged fork that formed the brake or whether it was on account of my being lightweight, and he misjudged the pressure required-but I do know that at the moment he slipped the rope from the tree. the dogs rushed off without the helpers and I was in a runaway sled It was fine sport for the dogs, and we went along at a great rate until we came to the first curve, or bend in the trail- then, as I had been anticipating, the

Fathers Looked Him Over

A man who was pursued by women says in his confession, which is printed in the Womans Home Companion:
 Fathers. mothers, girls all regarded me with an appraising, questioning ex- pression that had not been there before. Fathers sat down beside me on the sub urban train as I commuted back and forth, and managed adroitly to find out where I was working and how liked it, and how much 1 was paid, and what my prospects were. The girls to whom l had been engaged at various times as- suned a new attitude, much as to say You have had your good time With us. Now pay. Take up the white man $ burden. Support one of us. They didn say 1t openly, of course. but the in- junction was in their eyes. We moved
