FEED FOR BEEF PRODUCTION
Thrss-Year Experiment Shows That u
Costa More to Feed Calves Than
Older Cattle.

Results Of a three-year-old expert
ment with calves. yearlings and two
year-olds to study the influence of age
on the economy and profit OF feeding
for beef production indicated that the
initial cost per hundred pounds Of meat
produced was greater with the calves
than with the older cattle; that the
length of time necessary for fnishtae
steers decreased with age; that the
rate and the cost of gain and the
proportion Of roughage to concentrates
consumed increased with age; and
that the amount Of gain necessary In
finishing cattle of equal condition de-
creased as their age increased. The
difference In total quantity Of feed
necessary for finishing cattle OF diff
ferent ages and fed 80 the same
marketable finish was negligible.
The experienced farmer who feeds
cattle should handle older cattle in
preference to calves, while the farmer
who produces and finishes his own cat

FLEA EMBALMED in HONEY
Little Insect Pest Found Which Met

1t is believed that the earliest food

and which is still In existence, is jar
Of honey found in an Egyptian tomb,
and probably placed there for the sus-
tenance Of the dead during the jour
ney across the Stygian river, says the
American Forestry Magazine. When
found, the honey had changed into a
very dry candy and 1t had lost its
sweetness, though 1t could still be
Identified as honey.
In the bottom of the jar, well COW

precisely the same sort az those which
plague Egypt to this day. Apparently,
the insect had hoped into the Jar
while the last rites over the dead were
being observed, and when the jar was
cOrked, the little fellow was shut up
within, and, like the true patriot, he
probably could have declared that
death was sweet. Anyway, he sank
to the bottom while the honey was
still soft, and there the Psychologists
found him after good many thou
sands of years.

I fell asleep at last and slept for I

room while I slept. There was the
proof, the note they had dropped.
Wondering IL Miss Bradford had
found still another unusual way Of
communicating with me hastened to
pick up the folded paper that lay on
the floor. On the outside it bore my
name, In typewriting. "Mr. Spalding

With eager fingers I unfolded the

for Barbara Bradford. Although it
had been my intention to ride thither
l was amazed to learn on applying at
two Of the stables near the park en-
trance to hire horse that the few
they had there either were owned pri-
vately or had been already engaged.
There was nothing for me to do but
to go to my rendezvous on foot. had
almost despaired Of Miss Bradford's
coming when l spied her cantering
slowly along the lane, followed at a
decorous distance by groom. She
was looking right and left and when
she saw me her face frightened but
she rode a few steps past me with no
sign of recognition. l was wondering
what to make of this new slight when
she suddenly reined in and allowed
the groom to come up with her.

groom, "my head aches, and the rid
ing is making it worse. Take the
horses back to the stable, and 1 will

touching his cap, as he assisted her
to aiight.
She waited until he had vanished
and then hastened to the bench where

She looked at me thoughtfully,
studying me as If questioning wheth-
er or not was to be trusted, and ap-
parently deciding in the affirmative,
told me an amazing story.
''It's all about my sister, Claire" she
began. "She's five years older than

mother never got along well together,
and she was sent away to boarding

ago, mother was in Europe and only

She sighed sadly. Evidently her
words were bringing back to her mo-
