Ration to Animals.
prepared by &c unlted states Deparl:.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgricultuIe)
In order to save feed-to see that
none of it is Observation-Disclosures and
live stock men should study the needs
Of their animals and see that only the
required feed is given in a balanced
ration. This is particularly impor-
tant at the present time, since an in
crease in feed and more live stock
are needed to supply the needs of this
nation and the allies.
To reduce the problems involved in
the selection of feeds on the basis OF
their nutritive vaIue-which arc meas
ured in terms of protein, carbohydrate,
and fat contents-in order to make
them apply to everyday feeding, has
not been simple. In a bulletin re-
Gently issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture tables are
given which make the balancing Of
rations "a simple matter of multiplica-
ton and division. 1t is explained that
protein, carbohydrate, and fat con-
tents of a feedstuff are not the only
factors affecting its feed value. Pro-
teins differ in their nutritive quail
ties, while some substances not In
Guided in the classes mentioned are
necessary to the proper maintenance
of the bodily functions. The palata-
bility and succulence Of a feed has
much to 10 with its value as feed.
Many feedstuffs have physiological eff
fects entirely apart from their nutri-
tive qualities. A ration may be per-
fectly balanced from the standpoint of
relative content of protein and en-
ergy producers, and yet be quite i'm
practicable, the specialists point out,
because it is too bulky or too con-
centrated. Consideration of a feed
stuff or a ration based only on chem
ical composition, therefore, is to be
taken merely as a guide, it is ex-
planned, to be followed in the light Of
all the knowledge obtainable about ami
NAL nutrition.
The selling price Of feed is not a
reliable guide to its relative feeding
value. The carbohydrate feeds-corn,
oats, barley, kafir, and various others
and the protein feeds-cottonseed
meal, tankage, and brewers grains
are found on the market at various
prices. The feeder desires to know,
with certain given prices, which is
the cheapest feed to buy-the true
value of bushel of oats, rye, or bar
ley for feed when corn is worth so
| cents q bushel. He wishes to know
the value of ton Of brewers grains,
linseed meal, or bran when cottonseed
meal is worth $50 ton and corn 81
a bushel. By the use of the tables
presented In the bulletin, which show
comparative costs based on nutritive
values, these questions can be an
swered.

How Would You Rate Your wife2

In the Woman's Home Companion
occurs this account of a plan that
raised much discussion and more
money in the town where it was tried:
'Two months In advance date was
set for Wage day in our Sunday school
class. At that time every one was
asked to give one days wage, Enclosed
In a sealed envelope, without a name.
"The men bad no trouble reckoning
the amounts they should give, but
their wives rated themselves in va
rious ways. Some felt their work
worth as much as their husbands
and gave the price Of the average
wedding fee. One large woman whose
husband said she was worth her
weight in gold computed it at one
gold dollar per pound and divided it
by the number of times he said 1t in
two months"

How 4FooIscap" orialnated.

Several explanations have been
given of the meaning of the word
"foolscap' as applied to a certain
class of paper. One of the explana-
tions is that when Charles 1 found
his revenue short he granted GER
tain privileges. amounting to mo-
nopolies, and among these was the
manufacture of paper, the exclu-
sive right to which was sold to
certain parties. who grew rich and
enriched the government at the ex-
pense of those who were obliged TO
use the paper. AT this time all Eng
lish paper bore. in waterraarks, the
royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made jest of this law,
and among other indignities to the
memory of Charles it was ordered
that the royal arms be removed from
the paper and FOOLS cap and bells
be substituted. These were in their
turn removed when the Rump parlia-
ment was dismissed, but paper for the
size of the parliament's journal still
bears the name of 'sfoolscap."

SEEMING CHANGES IN coLoRS
Why Long Exposure of the Retina to
the Action of Red Rays Creates
an Optical Illusion.

It is well known that when a ray
Of white light is analysed, as by a
prism, it is found TO be composed of
seven colors, the so-called colors of
the spectrum-red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo and violet-and
that when the colors of the spectrum
are recombined white light reappears.
If, however, we eliminate the red rays
and then recombine the remaining six
colurs, we obtain the so-called COM
Elementary color of the red, namely,
green. If we eliminate the green
rays the remaining rays will give red
light, and so on with the other COM
Elementary colors, orange and blue,
yellow and violet. Now, If the retina
has been fatigued through being ex-
posed too long to the action of red
rays, it will be susceptible only to the
remaining six colors, and the eye,
when Immediately struck by the white
light, will receive the impression of
the complementary green color. Many
other influences are based upon the
same principle. Thus, when looking
for q long time through blue spec
tacles, Immediately after their removal
all objects will appear yellow. When
the retina has been irritated from gaz-
Ing at red fireworks the gay flames
will look greenish after their extinc-
tiOn.s

How 70 DESTROY Poison ivy.

The cheapest and most effective
method of eliminating poison ivy, ac-
cording to experts of the United States
department of agriculture, is the slut
ME one of roofing up the plants and
destroying them. If the poison ivy is
in large fields it may be necessary to
plow and cultivate the land. Ivy on
large trees, stone walls and buildings
can be killed by arsenate Of soda. at
the rate of two pounds to ten gallons
Of water. Two or three applications
are sufficient.

HGW GERMANY PLANS

liz w TO EXPLOIT RICH
LANDS OF THE UKRAINE.
Now is restored to the speech
OF men the tenn "Sicilian yes
pers," a term Of horror from
medieval times. The people
whose genius conceived the
sack of LOuvain, the sinking Of
the Lusitania, the "spurlos YER
senkt" policy and the systematic
spoliation of Belgium and north
ern France is the same that
now charges the inhabitants of
the Ukraine with a plot to mas
sacre Germans, a plan to leave
no German alive in the richest
wheat province of old Russia.
The technic of subjugation
has never been shaped into a
perfect system even by the eff
forlS OF all conquerors whose
deeds are recorded in the annals
of human exploitation. There
is a successful method of ex-
tracing honey from bees with
out retaliation from the bees,
but the plans of ruthless Ger
many for taking over the food
stuffs and the government of
the Ukraine in one coup consti-
tute an experiment that has
few entirely successful prece-
dents.
Nations may be exterminated,
but a people cannot be perma-
nently enslaved. The German
authorities are exercising their
hateful power TO the great hurt
Of the Ukrainians, much as ear
lier in the war they starved Bel
GUM and Poland to feed Ger
many. Oppression continues to
keep pace with the forces OF the
