Dairy COWS 1t the Louisiana State
UAivsrdty Experiment Station farm
each produced 2.3s pounds Of milk
more per day while grazing on oats
than when fed sorghum silase, accord
ing to q feeding test conducted las:
winter. Ten cows were used in this
test. which was continued for q Do
Rod of ten days and then changed to
sorghum silage for a like period. At
each change two days were allowed
for the transition period before the
milk records were started. The grain
and hay portions Of the ration re-
mained the same throughout the ex-
pertinent, and the only change made
was from oats to sorghum every ten
days.
The dairy farmer who has Q herd
not large enough to warrant building

oats as winter-grazing crop" says
c. H. Staples dairy specialist. Ex-

More than $4,650,000 will be spent
for road improvement in Idaho during
the next two years, if a program out
lined by the state highway department
calling for the raising Of $1,S50,O00 as
the states share under 2-mil levy
is adopted by the legislature, says the
Boise Statesman.
In addition to the states share of
$3.50, 900, as recommended, $500, 600
will be available from the federal gov
eminent as post and forest road aid,
land more than 100000 is to be rails

State apportionments of the sum
which the highway department pro-
poses to raise by direct tax would be
given the various highways as follows:
North and south, $553000: Idaho
Pacific. $4,000 Yellowstone park,
$71,0O0; Lewis and Clark, $4,000;

&C. T. Rice in Engineering and Min
ing JournaD
In the machine shop of the Hecla
mine at Burke, Idaho, there is for
midable appearing as well as a much
used machine called the press or
straightener. This machine was made
several years ago from the air cylin-
der of an old compound 10x1Sx6x1S-
inch GAINESVILLE mine pump that was
about to be sold for scrap. The CYL
Under is mounted vertically upon a
base which is an old compressor disk
so inches in diameter and 6 inches
thick. The water end piston rod OF
the pump has been forged out into a
plunger, and a lever arrangement has
been mounted upon the valve chest so
as to control the flow of air to the
cylinders.
There are several different pieces
that rest on top of the base to act as
anvil blocks when pressing pulleys'
ETC.. on and off shafts or axles. but
one of the main uses of the press Is IN
Strengthening old rail and pipe. BY
using a 4x4-inch steel bar, feet long
for a Strengthening block, and holding
the pipe by means of discarded
clamps from 6-inch rock drill bars,
and clamping one at the top OF the
pipe directly under the plunger, pipe
up to inch diameter can be straight
ened. For Strengthening rails, the
same 4-inch bar is used shimmed up
with thin pieces of iron. The rail is
placed on this block and Strengthened

On the Big Bonanza.

On one occasion a Virginian was
coming up over the divide from Gold
Hill late at night, wrote Dan de
guile in the Big Bonanza He had
three 500 gold pieces in his breeches
pockets and was sauntering along
with his hands in his pockets Sud
denly masked man stepped before
him, and, thrusting a pistol in his
face, cried "Hold up your hands, sir."
The footpad searched his pockets and
found nothing. The Virginian closed
his hands upon the three Juveniles"
and held them above his head while
submitting to the search. The foot
pad was evidently much disappont-
ed, as he said, IF you ever come
along here again without any money,
I'll take you lick under the butt of
the ear. That's what I'll do with
you"

TUNGSTEN PRODUCTION
IN UNITED STATES, 1918
HIGH PRICES DURING YEAR.
IMPORTS LARGEST EVER
MADE.

The production of tungsten ores in
the United States in 1918. according
to preliminary statistics collected by
Frank L. Hess, of the United States
geological survey department of the
interior, was equivalent to 5065 short
tons of concentrates, carrying 60 per
cent tungsten trioxide, of which 5Ol5
tons, valued at $5156,5O0, was mar
keted or consumed by the producers
and so tons was reported as left on
hand at the mines at the. end of the
year. Although the output was very
large, 1t was less than that of the two
previous years-1916, with 1928 tons,
valued at $12,075,4OO. and 1917, with
6144 tons, valued at $6.7S3, 400 The
production in 1917 was the largest
made by any country, although it was
much smaller than the combined out
put Of the countries under British
rule.
Production by States.
Colorado regained it's lead as the
largest producing state, with 1910 tons
of ferberite, against CALIFORNIA; 1871
tens of scheelite and Nevadas SS5
tons Of scheelte. In 1917 California
had lied by nose" with 27S1 tons.
Prices.
The prices of tungsten ores were
fairly steady during the greater part
of 1918. Scheelite that was free from
phosphorus, sulphur, and other HARM
full impurities brought about $25
unit most of the year. The other
pure ores were always a matter of
minerals brought from SIS to $25. In
bargaining. Toward the end of the
summer and in the fall the demand
was very heavy, owing to the huge
orders of the government for war ma
terials. With the signing of the arm
istice, on November II, orders were
cancelled, the demand slowed down,
and prices fell accordingly. At the
end Of the year wolframite of good
quality that carried more than 60 per
cent of tungsten trioxide was offered
in New York for $12 a unit
Imports.
The imports during the year were
much the largest ever made; for the
first II months they amounted to TO-
44S short tons, valued at $10,22466S.
AS nearly as can now be determined,
1851 tons came from South America;
6465 tons from China, Hongkong, and
Japan; 260 tons from Mexico; and 142
tons from other places, though it may
have been transshipped from Asia or
South America. The ores credited to
China and Hongkong are of course all
Chinese, though part of them may
come from the British controlled
mainland. The ores credited to Japan
are probably also largely Chinese but
are shipped by way of Japan by Jap
anese firms.
The largest Asiatic shipments of the
II months were those of November.
The Chinese deposits are alluvial and
are now probably mined more cheapy
than any others in the world.
