AGE OF THE SUN AND STARS
Belief Now That They Are Several
Hundred Times Older Than
Has Been Believed.

A recent paper by Mr.. Harlow Shap-
ley brings to focus the long-standing
disagreement between physical astron-
omers and biologists concerning the
duration Of solar radiation and the
conquest age of the earth, and also the
question of the age Of the stars In
general. The short time scale of the
astronomers is based on the assump-
ton that the suns heat, flowing uni
formly at the observed rate in ali 81
rections, comes from such recognized
sources as gravitational contraction,
the fall of meteorites, radioactivity
etc. The supply Of heat from these
sources could last only few million
years. The date of geology, however.
particularly the recent work on
rhythms in denudation and sedimen-
tation and on the radioactivity of rocks,
are decidedly opposed to a short time

1t would seem to be stretch of the
Imagination to compare barn to a
Liberty bond as an income producing
investment. But when 1t is considered
that a modern barn, equipped with la
bor-savlng features will not only cut
down the cost of operating dairy
farm, or any other farm, and viii
make the live stock more productive,
1t can easily be seen that barn pays
dividends just as bond.
Cost of operation is an expense that
every manufacturer watches with zeal

The modern barn is equipped so
that the labor of caring for the cows
that produce milk and butter can be
done easily and quickly. Also the mod
ern barn is SO constructed that the
cows will be warm in winter, and a
comfortable COW is better producer
than an uncomfortable COW. Fresh
air, sunshine and water, three of ma

ger These cups supply the cows or
horses with fresh water at all times,
but are so constructed that the water
is not wasted. A valve controlled by
nose piece which the COW presses
down turns on and off the water. A
constant supply Of water. 1t has been
found, increases the flow of milk some
eight or ten per cent.

while on every farm. The barn itself
and its equipment represent fair

ment that will pay good, big dividends
In actual cash through saving of labor
and increased production. Also there
is the advantage Of tightening the
work around the barn, work that Is

CARRIES WEALTH IN MOUTH
Bowhead Whale Worth Much Money
II Only That Part Of Its Anat-
omy Were Usabe.

A full-grown bowhead whale Is
worth $4,000 merely for the whale
bone It carries in its mouth. This Is
the species that furnishes the bulk OF
the commercial supply OF whalebone,
which is now worth $3.50 a pound. 1t
Is a denizen of the arctic seas.
The bowhead. like other whalebone
whales, has no teeth Instead, its jaws
are furnished with series Of long,
tapering slabs of a horny substance
fringed with hair OF these slabs,
which are the whalebone of commerce,
there are as many as 600.
The biggest of them are 10 to IL
feet long, and they are inserted In the
gum Of the upper jaw, from which
they hang. They serve as sieve to
strain out the whales food. Swim

one that any farmer would be proud
to own. Its gabled roof gives it a
graceful appearance, and it looks what
1t is--a modern barn for an up-to-date
farm.
The dimensions of this barn are 80
by u feet. 1t is wide enough to pro-
vide space for two rows of stalls,
feeding alley through the center and
litter alleys along each side.
On one side are two sets of stalls,
one having places for nine cows and
the other seven. On the other side Is
n row of nine stalls and two calf pens.
the larger one having seven managers.
AT the end on one side Is the bull pen,
while on the other side IS feed room.
It will be noted by the floor plan
that there are carrier tracks through
the center of the barn, over the feed
alley and on either side over the lit
ter alleys. The carrier tracks provide
an easy mode of carrying the feed to
the hangers and to carry out the lit
her. No piece of barn equipment
saves more steps, physical energy ana
time than feed and litter carriers that
travel on overhead tracks.
The COW stable floor of this barn, as
with practically every other modern
barn, is of concrete. Set into the
floor at the rear of the rows Of stalls

GREEN FEED DURING WINTER
Pouitryman Should Have Supply to
Last Through Season to Keep
Fowls In Condition.

Green feeds for poultry contain only
q small percentage of actual food nu-
trients, but are important because of
their succulence and bulk. which light
en- the grain rations and assist In keep
ing the birds in good condition. The
poultryman should secure a sufficient
supply of such feeds to last through
the winter months In sections where
growing feeds cannot be obtained.
When chickens are fattened without
the use of milk, green feed helps to
keep them in good condition.
Cabbages, mangel wurzels, clover,
alfalfa, and sprouted oats are the
green feeds commonly used during the
winter. Cabbages do not keep as well
In ordinary cellars as mangel wurzels,
so where both of these feeds are avail
able the cabbages are fed first. They
are often suspended, while the mangel
wurzels are split and stuck on nail
on the wall of the pen. Glover and al
falfa may be fed as hay, cut into one
half to one inch lengths, or may be
bought in the form of meal. Alfalfa
meal has a feeding analysis equal to
bran, but is not as digestible on &C
count of it's larger percentage of fiber.
Glover and alfalfa should be cut while
slightly immature, If they are to be
cured and fed to poultry. The leaves
and chaff from such hay are especially
adapted for poultry feeding.
Sprouted oats make very good
green feed and are used quite ex-
tensively in this country. The oats
can be soaked for IL hours in warm
water and then spread out in a layer
of from one-half to one and one-hali
inches deep on a floor, or in tray
or tier of flats, which have openings
| or holes or a three-sixteenths inch
mesh wire bottom, so that the water
drains freely. They may be stirred
daily, sprinkled, or allowed to sprout
without stirring, until ready for feed
ing. They are usually fed when the
sprouts are from one to one and one
