"A considerable body of opinion
holds in southern California; that
the strike has been started to deter

strike Is demonstration of direct

FEEDING CORN OR MoLASsEs
ments and Relatively Low
in Protein.

Corn and molasses are about the
same in composition. Both are rich
in carbohydrates, or heat-producing
elements and relatively low in protein.
Molasses is not quite as valuable as
a feed as corn, but when the price of
corn is S35 or $40 per ton, as it is in
some places, and molasses $25 or $50,
the latter is cheaper feed. The dairy
COW may be fed three to five pounds of
molasses daily. More than this tends
to lessen the dfgestibility of the other
feeds in the ration. Molasses is very
palatable to the animal and will al
ways produce sleek coat when fed.
1t can often be used to make unpala-
table roughage most toothsome. There
is difficulty always in feeding mo-
lasses. 1t may be put in the drinking
water or diluted slightly with water
and sprinkled on the roughage or the
grain portion of the ration.

Subscription Rates to Suit.

A Malabar newspaper has devised
a novel and suggestive scheme of sub
scription rates. Public officers, read
ing rooms, zemindars, "rajahs and
gentlemen" with monthly incomes I'M
der 400 rupees. are considered as class
one, and pay yearly subscription of
Is rupees for the paper. If your
monthly income exceeds 100 rupees
and does not exceed 400, you are in
slass two, and pay only u rupees
yearly. If, however, you are in neither
of the two classes mentioned. or are a
student, then you are let off with a
subscription of nine rupees. The pa
per is appropriately named The Re
former. and 1t would be interesting to
know how this particular piece of
reformation is received by subscribers.

IDEA ORIGINATED IN ORIENT
Finger-Print System Claimed to Have
Been in Use in Far East for
Many Years

The finger-print system that sleuths
all over the world have successfully
used in catching desperate criminals
was the invention of orientals. either
Chinese or Japanese, according to
Ptllipo de Filippi, writing In Nature.
The discovery was originally credited
to Sir w. Herschel, in a parliamentary
blue book. but Kumagusus Minakata,
a japanese, proved the case for the
East.
No one in the controversy quoted
Rashid-ud-din, who wrote about the
system in use in Cathay even in his
day. It was a finger-print system Of a
sort, although not like that in use
today. There was no bIackening Of
the hands prior to the taking Of the
impression but rather the hand was
placed on paper and traced by the per-
son taking the print The hands Of
contracting parties were always placed
On deeds In those days.
De Fnippi says that this ancient
system is worthy of investigation to-
day. as study Of the drawings shows
q distinct difference in the outlines
Of fingers of the hands Of different in
dividuaIs. in the length Of the fingers,
the relative distance made by the axis
Of the thumb and the axis Of the first
finger, and in many other ways.

st,u IS DOCS h AIps.

Although the tunnels which now
connect Switzerland with Italy have
greatly decreased the importance OF
the ST. Bernard and other passes, es-
peciaIly during the eight months OF
snow. it is still deemed advisable to
employ st. Bernard dogs. 1t is no
longer customary, however, TO send
out the dogs alone with baskets OF
food and drink man always accom-
panies them. These dogs are not real
" of the famous old st. Bernard
breed. That originated in the four
teenth century, through a cross be-
tween a shepherd dog from Wales
and a Scandinavian dog whose par
ents were a Great Dane and a Ply
renean mastiff. The last pure descend
ant of this tribe was buried under an
avalanche in 1916. Fortunately. there
we're found subsequently at Martigny
and on the Simplon pass few dogs
which by crossing with mates from
Wales yielded the modern st. Bernard
dog. which is physically even stronger
than his medieval namesake, and
shares most OF his traits.

WATCH WINTER FEED OF cow
Very Easy to Have Grain Ration So
High That 1t Won't Pay fer
Itself in Milk.

The feeding of cows for milk will
need to be watched more closely than
ever this winter. With cows such as
they run, it is very easy to have the
grain ration so high that it will not
pay for itself in milk or cream. A
very successful eastern dairyman
feeds his cows only alfalfa hay and
silage with a very little oilmeal. limit
ing the silage to % pounds day to
the cow and 20 pounds a day to the
heifer, thus getting them to eat more
alfalfa. He admits that dairymen
feeding grain will beat hiQ in amount
of milk produced, but says that his
business is turned at greater profit.
Doubtless true-and he is also putting
all his cows into advanced registry.
