Glass Blowing an Ancient Art

The art Of glass blowing is also
very ancient and had an existence
probably 1000 years before Christ.
The art OF blowing is plainly depicted
upon the tumuli of Mastaba of lib
at Memphis, and these tombs were
built more than 5000 years ago. In
the picture upon them the blower
with tube in mouth. just the same
as the present day. is seen suuatte /
before his furnace. and from the de-
tail and perfection of knowledge Of
the art evidenced in the ancient pic
lures it is readily seen that glass
blowing was no new thing With the
people of that time and region. The
blass blower of that day made vases,
beads. ornaments and bottles.

The more potatoes we eat, the less

we can possibly spare is needed by our
soldiers and our allies.

swered some of the problems that have
puzzled item.
Out in Nebraska a few years ago
there was failure of the corn crop,
The farmers fed wheat To the cattle.
The next spring there were few
calves born which were healthy. The
farmers wondered. They had fed the
cattle plentifuIly on wheat In all
forms. But the cattle failed to do
well. The scientists can now say
that cattle win not grow and repro
duce normally if fed on ration Of
wheat alCue.
Ten years ago DR.. E. B. Hart and
his assistants began to make series
of observations with cattle upon the
effect of balanced rations on the
growth and reproduction of cattle.
The rations were restricted in their
makeup to a number of plants to test
the theory that protein and energy are
the only necessary factors to consider
in making a ration. Each ration was
balanced-that is, made up so as TO
contain the foodstuffs In sufficient
amounts and suitable proportions to
supply adequate energy and digest
IDLE protein. In one case 1t was made
up from the corn plant. In another
from the wheat plant, the third from
oats plant, and the fourth from mix
ture OF the three.
1t was found that balanced rations
are sometimes deficient In the ele-
ments which make for the best growth
of the animals. Reproduction is often
affected by the ration fed to the COW.
Weak or dead offspring may result
