sympathizes with Gompers, But

(From the Yerrington, New, Times
Mr. Gompers takes the position that
in no case is the reduction of wages to
be permitted, which means of course
that the industries and prices must be
maintained on war basis in times
of peace.
We sympathize with Mr.. Gompers in
his desire to secure the largest returns
possible for labor but it is quite evil
dent that he overlooks the great law
of supply and demand.
Heretofore two elements have op-
Grated to keep labor at high price;
the scarcity of laborers and the insist
ent demand for a large line of pro-
ducts at any cost.
Now that the war is over these in
fluences have disappeared and so their
effects must disappear. 1t is an estab-
lished fact that business cannot be
done on less than certain margin or
surplus of income over the outgo.
To attempt it means ruin and ruin
for business enterprises is calamity for
the working man as well as for the
owners.
Cost must be kept within certain
limits or the people will not buy and
so the business is between the mill
stones and always in danger of being
ground to pieces. d.
If there was some way in which
laborers could be enlightened and put
in possession of all the essential facts
concerning what wages business will
stand, it would be a great gain all
around.

value of different kinds of forage fed
with cottonseed meal. The main find
ings given in this bulletin are Of much
value to cattle feeders not only in the
south, but in practically all parts of
the country. The bulletin is another
proof of the great economic use of
corn silage, which when properly bal
anced, always shows most profit
able gain. In this particular test, sill
age, corn stover and cottonseed hulls
were compared. The corn silage gave
by far the best returns, not only in
economic production of beef, but also
in the quality of the beef and the shape
in which II reached market. The sill
age-fed group Of steers produced beef
from Is per cent to 20 per cent cheap
err than the other groups.
The silage-fed steers produced gains
that would warrant an earning on the
The Lamar register., 1919-02-05

silage of S6.s6 per ton. This earning
was made on very poor market as
the steers only sold for $3.50 per hun
dred. Had they sold on a better mar
ket, this price could easily have been
increased 20 per cent to 30 per cent.
With corn silage costing but Sc per
ton, which is a fair price for it's pro-
duction, good corn land can be made
to earn from $50 to 500 per acre. If
the land owners of the West would
heed the teachings of this bulletin
their profits would be increased mil
lions of dollars"

Why Birds Prefer North
to Nest Year After Year

1t is not an easy question to answer
1t has been explained that there are
vague promptings of instinct derived
from long Inheritance; especially the
'homing instinct" which brings the
robin or the oriole back to the very
same nest year after year. But these
explanations really explain nothing
says bulletin of New York state edu-
cation department. This, however, is
true: The vigorous races of living be-
ings are the children of the north.
That has been true all through human
history and through all the history Of
life on the earth. The birds early
learned to bring forth their young un-
der the invigorating surroundings of
the north, that they might get right
start in life.

Illusion Used as a Test
of Correctness of Vision

In parlor physics an illusion is some
times demonstrated rs follows: A
sheet of newspaper is rolled up to
make a tube three feet long which is
held in the right hand in front Of
the right eye which is focused through
the tube upon some distant object. The
left eye is directed upon the palm Of
the left hand, which is held against
the tube and near its peripheral end.
The two eye pictures are fused in the
brain so that the right eye appears
to see it's objective through Il hole in
the left hand. This trick is of value
in testing the eyes. If the hole is
seen in the middle Of the hand binocu-
lar vision is perfect. If seen on the
right side there is exaggerated con-
vergence; if on the left side there is
divergence.

New Method of Applying
ChIoroform Obviates the
Nausea Usually Resulting

A new method Of administering
chlOrOfOrm has been brought out in
France by Doctor Guisez. He no long
err applies it by the usual compress Or
mask placed over the mouth, Yin
PRODUCES the chloroform vapor directly
into the lungs through a tube running
into the windpipe. The tube method
has already been employed in several
hundred cases and with great sue
cess. Besides being very useful for
operations to be performed on the head
and neck, 1t is Of great interest be-
cause 1t never produces the nausea
which is almost always the result of
applications of chloroform in the or
binary fashion, and thus the patient is
relieved of cause of suffering The
effects Of the new method will serve to
explain the reason why chloroform ap-
plicatiOns always produced nausea
when operating by the former method,
for it appears evident that the nausea
was caused by part Of the chloro-
form vapOrs being absorbed by the
esOphagus and the stomach. OF course
this is not necessary, for the whole
of the vapors should 90 to the lungs
and this result is now reached by the
new method. It, therefore, marks quite
a progress in the right direction.

Seventeen Species of the
Humming Bird Family Are
Summer Visitors to u. S.

1t Is said that altogether ~ spe-
cies of humming birds are summer Wis
itors to the United States, and that
one of these, the red hummer, Is found
on the Pacific coast as far north as
Alaska. The Brazilian forests are
noted for their many varieties Of these
magnificent birds, though few speci-
mems are of somber colors. In most
species the bill is straight. In few
the bill curves upward at the tip and
in others downward. The length of
the bill differs greatly, that OF "the
sword-bearer" being five inches long,
or longer than the head and body to-
together, while in another it is only
one-fourth of an inch.
Among the most plentiful of hum
ming birds was one to which the name
Chrysolampis mosquitus has been
given. This species was once espe-
clally numerous in Brazil, Venezuela
and the Guianas but skin hunters have
slaughtered them by thousands, the
skins being exported TO be used in the
manufacture Of ornaments and deco
rations.

Hints for the
Poultry Grower

Young chicks should not be fed for
from "a to 36 hours after Matching, and
will not suffer il given no food until
the third day. The yolk of the eggs,
which Is absorbed by the chick, fur
nIShes all the nouriShment required
during this time. 1t is this provision
Of nature for the first sustenance of
the chick that makes it possible to ship
newly Matched chicks considerable dis
tances.
After feeding is started it is advis-
able to feed the chick five times a
day, at equal intervals, and alternat-
ing mash Of soft feed, such as john
ny cake, with hard grain or scratch
feed.
"A model variety ration for very
young chicks" said John l.. Prehn,
extension poultry husbandman for the
Kansas State Agricultural college, us
Il scratch mixture composed Of five
pounds OF cracked corn, three pounds
of cracked wheat, two pounds Of pin
head oatmeal, either hulled or rolled
oats. If corn Is not available, cracked
kafir or rolled or hulled barley may be
substituted. Feed this mixture, scat
tered In chaif, morning, noon and
night.
For making the johnnycake, use
five pounds Of cornmeal, six infertile
eggs, and one tablespoonful of baking
soda. Mix in enough milk to make n
stiff batter, and bake it well.
"Instead Of the johnnycake a mix
ture of dried crumbs with hard boiled
infertle eggs, making about one-quar-
ter of the mixture of the eggs, may be
used. Rolled oats may be used in
place of the bread crumbs. Feed this
in the middle Of the forenoon and aft
ernoOn for the first ten days or two
weeks.
"When infertile eggs are not avail
able use double the quantity of baking
soda, and add half pound of sifted
beef scrap. Infertile eggs are those
which have been tested out from sit
tings or from an incubator

Holding Breath, GargIe. and
Sneezing, Hiccough Cure
400 Years Before Christ

The hiccough epidemic being preva-
lent in midwestern state recently,
man comes forward with a remedy
successfully used by Greek poet 400
years before Christ.
It is found In 'The Banquet" trans
lated from Plato, and here it is:
"When it came to the turn of Aris-
tophanes to speak 1t happened that he
had hiccough which prevented him !;
so he turned to EryXimachus, the
physician who was reclining close by
him, and said: 1t is fair that you
should cure me Of my hiccoughs or
speak until it IS over 4 will do both
said the physician. I will speak in
your turn and you shall speak In mine.
Meanwhile, if you will hold your breath
for some time it will subside. If
not, gargle your throat with water,
and if 1t still continues take something
to stimulate your nostrils and sneeze !;
do this once or twice. and even though
1t should be very violent it will
cease"
