SUPERIOR RATION FOR SWINE
Pigs Fattenlng More Rapidly on Pea
Ration Than on Any Other at
Washington Station.

(By FRED sCHROEDER)
Experiments being conducted on the
Washington state college farm with a
pea ration for pigs shows that the
hogs are fattening more quickly than
on other standard rations. Fifty hogs
are being used In the experiment be-
ing conducted by Benton NJ. Bangs,
whose work in supervising the experi-
ment will entitle him to masters de-
gree In agriculture.
The animals are divided into four
lots, and are being fed as follows: Lot
4, barley 90 per cent, shorts 80 per
cent and oil meal 10 per cent; lot 2,
peas 60 per cent, shorts 30 per cent,
tankage 10 per cent; lot 3, pens 60
per cent, shorts 80 per cent, oil meal
10 per cent; lot 4, barley go per cent,
shorts 80 per cent, tankage 10 per
cent.
Lot 2, handled, is showing the best
results, with lot 8 second, both being
q major ration Of cleanings or cracked
peas. The hogs are being weighed
every week, the experiment being con-
Quoted over period Of eight weeks,

Trap for Liars.

In front Of the old basilica Of Santa
Maria in Cosmedin, at Rome, there Is
an enormous block of marble, resem-
bling q huge face with a widely gaping
mouth. 1t is called the "Vocca della
Verita" or "AIouth Of Truth" In the
days Of ancient Rome thetlegend ran,
that If anyone who had told lie
placed his or her hand within that
yawning cavity, the jaw would de-
scend and cut it off. The stone has
given Its name to a street close by,
but It is no longer made use Of by the
Italians as proof of their integrity,
which, in the event Of its retaining It's
former power, shows prudence on their
part.
The vocca della verita is a large
round stone Of white marble, about
five yards in circumference. It Is
pierced with two holes representing
eyes, an opening for a mouth, slight
.ly raised nose, and two locks Of hair
are carved on each side Of the fore
head. The stone Is Of great antiquity,
and, according to some, 1t was laid on
the altar Of Jove, and those suspected
Of perjury were led to it and obliged
to confess by much the same threats
as are used to children now.

First American LEGISLATURE,

The, first colonial assembly to en-
joy the right of initiating legislation
was the Maryland assembly. which
convened in 1885 aud was composed Of
representatives Of the whole people
purely democratic legislature. In the
beginning every adult male citizen was
permitted to sit in the assembly, but
with, the increase in population it was
found necessary to limit the number,
although there was still no legal re.
striction on the number Of delegates
the people might send.
Under the charter Lord Baltimore
had the power Of enacting all neces-
sary laws for the colony, with the
advice, consent and appreciation of the
freemen Of the province" The assem-
bly, demanded the right Of initiating
Legislation, however, and this was
granted by Lord Baltimore in 1888.
and the following year the assembly
met and enacted the first statutes Of
Maryland. In their Iaw-making the
pioneer Marylanders were entirely in
dependent Of the British parliament
and enjoyed a greater degree Of au-
tonomy than any other English colony.

CHICKS INFESTED WITH LICE
Mother Hen Should Be. busted With
Some Good Insect Powder-Make
Examination Often.

Where chicks are raised with hens,
they are likely to become infested
with lice. If the lice get very nu-
merous, they greatly retard the chicks
growth and may even cause their
death. The hen should be powdered
thoroughly with some good insect
powder before she is put in the coop
with the chicks, and at intervals OF
several days or week thereafter.
The baby chicks should be examined
for lice, particularly on the head,
under the wings and about the vent.
II any are found, a little grease, such
as lard, should be rubbed on in those
places. Apply grease moderately, as
too much viii injure the chicks. The
chicks should be examined frequently
and the treatment repeated If lice are
found on them.

ARTIcHoKE IS EASY TO GROW
Favorite Vegetable, Declared to Be

Of the favorite vegetables in all parts

It.
Its name Is a curiosity to etymology.
The word "artichoke" is derived from
the Moorish "alkharshof," which was
applied to the true, or globe artichoke,
Of which we eat the flower-head with
It's thickened bracts and the delicate
BOTTOM" This plant, which is of the
thistle family, is native Of the old
world The Jerusalem artichoke, He'll
anthus tuberosus, is tuber which
grows on the roots of a sunflower. It
was well>known and much. used by the
natives of America before the coming
Of Columbus. It was introduced into
France early in the seventeenth CEN
tury and was grown In the Farnese
gardens In Rome, whence It was dis
tributed throughout Europe under the.
name Of Girasole Articiocco, or sum
flower artichoke. "The name arti-
choke" writes Professor Cockerell,
appears to have been given to the
Helianthus solely on account Of the
more or less similar favor, while .Jeru-
salem is an English corruption Of the
Italian 'Girasole, or sunfower."
