Declares Fish Sunburnt,

A patient angler was fishing from q
5etty at seaside resort, and two visf-
tors were watching him. Most OF the
fish caught were fiat fish, and the two
watchers began to argue why the fish
were brown on one side and white on
the other. One suggested that the
fish were originally all white, but that,
sleeping on their backs in the mud.
they had become SO soiled that it
wouldn't wash off.
This was so ridiculed by the other
man that, angrily, he bet any amount
that his theory was correct
Upon the case being put to the
angler, he remarked: You are entire
ly wrong. The real cause Of one side
being brown is that the fish have been
swimming so long with their backs
uppermost that they have got sun
burnt!'

BALANCED RATIONs IN NEED

Roughage Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of A~griculture.)
With the present high price of grains
1t is hardly necessary to call attention
to the need for growing more nearly
balanced roughage ~rations, by planting
Canada peas in oats and soy beans In
corn for silage, or by planting the
crops separately for hay or seed. IL
soy beans are planted for hay, the
fine-stemmed varieties are preferable
At present it is profitable to grow the
crops for seed. and even if the price
Of seed should &c down, they will pay
as a substitute for c~ottonseed meal in
the ration for dairy cattle, as the Pro
tein contents OF these crops is even
higher than that of cotton seed. If soy
beans are used for feed they should be
mixed before grinding with some less
oily grain, as corn or oats, or with
hominy or bran.

(Prepared by the United States Depart

An increase of at least 10 per cent of
the number of hogs during the year
1913, to provide pork, which with wheat
is classed as a leading war food, is rec
commended in the supplementary food
production program for 1918 just is
sued by the United States department
Of agriculture. Pork, the program
points out, constitutes more than one
half Of all the meat produced in the
United States and it is the mainstay
of the ration of laboring men and sol
diers. The need for increasing the sup
ply of fats is particularly acute. Ami.
NAL fats can be increased more quickly
by increasing the number of hogs than
in any other manner. An increase of
from 5 to so per cent in hog production
in Is states is indicated as especially
desirable. The following measures are
recommended for increasing pork pro-
duction.

where only about two hogs are kept
per farm, the increase also should be
great.
Pork production will be increased
economically by breeding for two lit
ters a year, by saving through better
care a larger number Of the pigs far
rowed; by growing pasture and forage
crops; by using wastes, especially
town and city garbage; by proper pa
lions of concentrated feeds; by the use
of self-feeders; by pasturing alfalfa
and other legumes and other forage
crops; by hogging down grain sor-
ghums and corn; by finishing hogs to
heavier weights up to about go
pounds, and by preventive measures
which will keep hogs free from cholera
tuberculosis, other diseases, and para
sites.

NO PAY FOR WOODEN LEG
Not Entitled to Compensation for
Loss, Rules Oklahoma State
Official.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-A man who
breaks his wooden leg is not entitled
to compensation for the loss of a leg
or the loss of a foot, it was held by
the state industrial commission in the
case of A. II. Stewart against an oil
company.
Thirty years ago Stewart lost a leg
in a railroad wreck. He Whitfield out
a wooden leg which he used for a leg
up until last August when, while in the
oil company's employ, he fell from a
motor car and broke the pegleg and
injured his knee.
Stewart took the splinters of his leg
TO a. A. Mcdonald, chairman of the
industrial commission, and filed a
claim for 175 weeks compensation, as
is provided by state law for the loss
Of a leg. The commission decided that
the injured man could not collect 175
weeks compensation for the loss Of a
leg or for the loss Of the foot 30 years
ago.

GERMANS GRAB
ALSACE PLANTS

had the offer Of the Alsatian corpora
ton, Of which the city Of Muhlhausen
itself was a component part, been re-
jected by the government, but he also
had been informed on good authority
all the other Alsatian factories to be
liquidated would be sold to "Old-Ger-
man" concerns beyond the Rhine.
RuthIessness Condemned.
This attempt to Germanize Alsace
by ruthless industrial methods was
condemned by several members of the
city council. Councillor Emmel de-
nounced as a subterfuge the statement
of Undersecretary Won Stein, who a
said the Bleichroeder offer had been
accepted because it was the more
favorable one. The speaker saw in
the governments action a systematic
effort to take Alsatian property away
from AlSatianS.
The B~leichroeder group, the success
full bidder, is headed by the banking
house of Bleichroeder in Berlin. The
original Bleichroeder was Prince Bis
marck's financial man and his heirs
are still in control of the banking
house. Old Bleichroeder was not very
scrupulous in his financial methods,
but this did not prevent Bismarck
from comforting the title of nobility
upon his moneymaker. This was one
of the greatest jokes perpetrated by
Bismarck.
However, Baron Bleichroeder's heirs
are still barons and their influence in
the highest circles is still formidable.
1t seems they had little trouble in OBJ
tanning the Alsatian properties at fav-
orable terms-favorable TO themselves,
for to them state supervision means
supervision by friends. y
