How Russia Is SUFFERING.

If the people who stand In queues
for one single day In Russia were
queUed in one queue, they'd go seven
times around the world and get as far
as Peoria on the eighth lap. 1 sup.
pose my most vivid impression of rev.
dictionary Russia is that of an endless
line Of tired, hungry, disheartened
people. In America q queue means
something that Cinnamon used to
wear before Japan became empirialis-
tic. In Russia a queue means the only
road that leads anywhere and to any
thing. People stand In line for hours
on end to draw their pitiful rations Of
a quarter or half-pound of~sour black
bread; they stand on one foot and
then on the other, and then move up a
foot in order to buy a pair of shoe
strings. And If they want to start on
a railroad journey on, let us say, Fri
day. they begin. queuing along some
time around MISUNDERSTANDING.

How TO Extermlnate Pests.

Rats In the United States cause an
annual loss amounting to millions OF
dollars. Among food products that
suffer, grain In storage is perhaps the
most important Buildings under proc

structures already built, should be re-
enforced against the pests, says f. L.

The commission had before it the
proposal of the w. j. Fargo Engin-
eering Co. of Jackson to survey the
river for the purpose of establishing
dock lines, deepening the water to pro-
vide boating and to prevent the de-
post of sewage along the stream dur
ing low water. No formal action was
taken, however, as the commission
wished to obtain more details from
Mr.. Fargo. He will be communicated
with and special meeting called dur
ing the week.
The plan contemplates the construc-
ton of series of low dams, along the
stream, with six foot dam at Oil
yer street and flushing dam at the
water works. Experts declare that
this plan, raising the water level,
would delay some years the necessity
of removing the sewage from the river
and the establishing of sewage dis
posal plant.
The purpose of establishing dock
lines would be to stop encroachment
on the river by property owners along
the stream. 1t was declared that one
corporation on the stream had en-
croached % feet in one place.

CROSS OF BROOM CORN AND
SORGHUM SOLD TO FARMERS

East Lansing, Mich, Sept. 49,
That many Michigan farmers who had
sharpened up their appetities for
buckwheat cakes and sorghum mo-
lasses this winter are doomed to dis
appointment because of the fact that
for them there is to be no sorghum, is
the opinion of Prof. j. F. Cox of the
Michigan Agricultural College.
Much of the sorghum seed planted
in the State this year was in reality
a cross with broom corn, and the re-
suit was sorghum that had no juice.
Professor Cox advises farmers to be
careful in selecting their "Molasses"
seed, and be sure that they are not
starting crop of halfway broom
corn.

HOW MUCH GRAIN TO FEED

Specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture advise poul-
try keepers to feed about l quart of
scratch grain and an equal weight of
mash (about 1 IL quarts) daily to
13 hens of the general purpose breeds,
such as the Plymouth Rocks, Rhode
Island Reds or Wyandottes, or about
16 hens of the smaller or egg breeds.
This would be about 1-2 pounds each
of scratch grains and of mash daily
to 100 Leghorns and about 9 1-2
pounds of each TO 100 general pur-
pose fowls. If hens have free range
or large yards containing green feed a
general purpose hen will eat about rs
pounds of feed in a year, while Leg
addition to the green stuff which she
horn will consume about 55 pounds in
eats.

to the convention that they had gone

and presented. The convention granted
them by reclamation, and the reporters
were given an ovation when they filed

WHY
Is a Black Sheep?-And
: Some Other Why's

Why is there black sheep in every
flock?
Because sheep, in their early domes-
ticated conditions, were brown or dirty
black. and because nature occasionally
"harks back" or reverts to early type
In nearly all species.
Why does red flag infuriate a
bull? Because, according to one
theory. the animal "sees red" The
condition which occurs naturally, In
certain circumstances Gas on the bat
tlefield), In man, rendering him indif-
ferent to danger, is produced arti-
hcially in the bull, with like results.
Why does dog turn round and
round before lying down? Because
the animals ancestor, the wild dog,
made Its bed thus by forming a hol-
low in the leaves ahd branches.
Why has the camel got humpf
Because in Its natural state 1t needs
an emergency ration" If deprived
Of food for several days, 1t falls back
on the fat Of Its own hump, which
then gradually disappears before the
limbs are perceptibly reduced. That
It carries reserve of water in Its
stomach is well known.
Why is the underpart Of rabbits
tail whittier Because the appendage
has on occasion to serve as a danger
signal. Violently agitated as It Is on
the approach Of danger, 1t can be
seen by other rabbits even at dusk,
whereas 1t might be wholly invisible
II the color of the tail was uniform
with that of the body.
Why has a cat got whiskers? Be
cause otherwise--and this applies to
the whole of the feline family, includ-
ing lions and tigers-its eyes would
lose sight of prey. such as birds or
mice, through fatigue arising from
concentration. Experiments prove
that cats deprived Of their whiskers
catch few mice. or none at all.
