List Of National
Test.

Boys and girls Of the Sixth A,
Sixth B, Eighth A and Eighth B
classes of the Omaha public schools
are better spoilers than pupils of
the same classes in 81 other cities,
according to test given this week
by Leon G. Smith. assistant super
intendent of schools.
The tests were given to 4,204
boys and girls, and the words were
the same that were used in other
cities. Omaha's average percents
are compared as follows:

Separate lists Of 20 words were
used for the two classes of each
grade, these words having been Sc
lected from a list of words most
commonly used in 1000 business
and personal letters.
The most difficult word in the
list submitted to the Sixth grade
children was "view," the transposi-
ton of the novels being the conf
mon error. The Eighth grade chill
dren misspelled impossible" more
times than any other word.
The following number Of each
class scored 100 per cent: Sixth A.
2S8 out of 1,245; Sixth B, 286 out
Of 1929; Eighth A, 369 out of LIS;
Eighth B, us out of US. Seventy
per cent of the Eighth B pupils
scored 90 per cent or higher.

Pneumatic chIsel.

Loredo Taft, Chicago sculptor, Il
is stated, has installed In his studio
a pneumatic chisel. by means Of which
the work of outlining marble statues
is greatly simplified. The old method
of carving with mallet and chisel is
not only laborious. but rather awk-
ward for the sculptor, since only one
hand Is left free to guide the chisel.
In the case Of the pneumatic chisel
both hands may be used for this pur-
pose. The pneumatic chlsel is driven
by compressed air. at pressure of II
pounds per square inch, operating
through flexible tube. the air being
compressed In large tank by. means
Of an electric motor. The air pass
ing through the tube has the effect
OF driving the chisel back and forth
against the stone just as II 1t were
hit by mallet. The chisel, of
course. is used only to outline the
statue roughly, the finishing work all
being done by hand.

DUMB CURED BY SUGGESTION
English Specialist In Nervous Dis
eases Claims to Have Achieved
Some Remarkable Results.

Can a dumb man be made to speak
merely by being told that he must
speak?
Impossible though It may seem
cures have been effected by this
means.
Lieut. Colonel Sir Frederick Mott
one Of the foremost specialists in
nervous diseases, claims to have cured
several dumb soldiers by suggestion
Five men who were mutes were
sent to him after they had been treat.
ed previously, and 1t had been sug.
gested to them that they were NOT
going to get well. He took the first
man into a room and told him that
he never left a patient until he had
cured him, "even II X took him a
couple Of hours"
The doctor had recourse to a little
galvanism on the mans throat, and
asked him to count ten. At first he
indicated that he could not, but after
coughing his Lips began to move. Then
he was asked to name the days of the
week and sing God Save the King"
Eventually he spoke; and the other
four were also cured by this method

Some men also claim that cattle bloat
less easily and less severely on alfal-
ia pasture when they are fed ensilage
although this result may not always
be relied upon absolutely. Silage GER
tainly Is conditioner, however, and
cattle usually have a much sleeker
appearance and are more easily kept
In condition when 1t is fed to them.
Statements above made refer to
silage In general and apply to var
iety Of feeds put up in green condition
usually compared to canning and pick
ling of vegetables. The feeds most
commonly used are corn, sunflowers,
sorghums, small grains, peas and oats
beet tops, etc. The feeds to be used
in different localities will vary with
conditions of climate, available soil
moisture, crop rotations, and other
local differences. There is In general
a tendency to use corn wherever 1t
can be grown successfully and 1t no
doubt Is the safest, most used, and
most reliable crop utilized. 1t was the
first that proved successful
Farm bureau members through out
Idaho are trying experiments to de-
termine the best crops to use for
silage In the various localities Of the
state. The results of these experiments
will be of VITAL Importance to the live
stock industry Of these places. In gen.
eral, sunflowers show promise and
will yield more heavily but apparently
are of inferior quality to corn. Where
the corn can be grown to maturity
Cor to the dent or glazed period) safe
ly 1t has been considered the very best
silage crop that can be grown. Exper-
iments may prove, however, that an
other crop Is better. Sunflowers and
other crops will grow where corn can
not be grown successfully and show
promise of becoming Of great impor-
lance to the livestock industry Of
these localities.
With the alfalfa weevl spreading
rapidly, the silo becomes necessity.
The crop to grow will vary and viii
depend SO largely upon the commun-
ity and the local conditions that the
only solution Is well organized
series of experiments planned and ex-
ecuted by the farmers cooperating
through the farm bureau and by the
aid of the county agricultural agent
The experiments being tried this year
and others ito follow win be interest
ing and important The results viii
be conclusive when experiments are
carried on over sufficient period.
The common use Of silage has been
as a succulent feed for winter when
the grass is gone and only dry feed Ia
otherwise obtainable. Experience and
observation elsewhere give assurance
that silage will be increasingly pop
llar In Idaho. Information ON this
and other dairy subjects can be OBJ

HOW SNOW HoURIsHEs SON
Valuable Manure Because Of tts Ca.
bonIe Acid, So Necessary for
RevifalIzInu the Earth.

In n handful OF snow there might
be 10000 crystals, and no two OF them
would be alike.
Sleet Is snow which. In its passage
To the earth. has passed through lay.
err of warmer air, and become partially
melted.
Snow is early or late, according Ia
whether the summer was short and
soon over or extended to the autumn
A short. early summer means that the
earth cools more quickly.
Ground which Is covered with snow
very rarely falls below freezing point
although the air may be fifteen to TWEEN
ty degrees colder. This Is because
snow is very bad conductor of hea,
lit holds the heat In the ground and
stops its radiation.
The reference in the Psalms: "Hs
giveth snow like wool, is not to the
fact that snow and wool are alike IN
appearance, but to the warmth OF
each.
Snow is warm because air is held in
Its minute crystal interstices. No hea,
escapes from anything covered with
snow. Snow is, literally, valuable
manure, and nourishes the earth with
Its carbonic acid. which penetrates
slowly into the soil and is thus fully
absorbed.
Finally. snow Is ruinous to shoe
leather, because 1t warns the leather
opens 1t. and then penetrates.

SMAGE FOR DAIRY CATTLE.
By +. II. CAMMACK


Field Dairyman, University of Idaho
Extension Division.
The need for succulent winter
feed was 1irst realized something over
rs years ago by the dairymen, and ex-
periments proved conclusively that the
corn plant properly stored would pro-
duce the desired results. Methods,
materials and uses have been greatly
changed since then, but dairymen are
still the greatest advocates ana users
of silage. Sheep beef cattle and other
types of livestock have utilized 1t sue
cessfully, but dairymen are and will
continue to be its stanchest advocates
Experiments have Dhown that use
OF silage accomplishes the following
results: cheapens the cost of the ra-
ton fed; increases tie production of
milk; and improves the health and
condition of cattle. There are several
as permitting the feeding of more
couraging the growing of the ration
on the home farm, making possible
a better crop rotation, helping solve
the alfalfa weevil problem, increasing
the profits by whetting the cows ap-
VckIttr GpCs
The cheapening of the ration Is es-
pecially noteworthy, because much
larger yields can be grown and be-
cause 1t can be substituted for higher
priced feeds. When 1t is possible to
grow from Is to % tons land more)
OF succulent feed such as silage, and
when a ton Of silage will replace
half ton Of alfalfa hay, there is no
doubt that 1t chcapens the cost Of
ration. 1t Is usually conceded that the
average yield Is about four times that
Of alfalfa hay, with feeding value of
about half as much.
In addition, as noted in the second
point, silage increases the flbw OF
milk. The average increase of milk
flow as given by practical dairymen
in Idaho is about 20 per cent. BY this
! mean that where hay Is fed and then
about one half the hay needed Is re-
placed by silage 1.-TWO pounds Of silage
to one pound Of hay) the result will
be an increase Of from 20 percent to
% per cent in milk production, from
the average COW. Where a balanced
ration has been fed the results will
not be so great, but In virtually all
cases an increase Is shown In the a.
mount OF milk with the test remain
ing practically constant within the
usual variation).
The third point (of keeping the cow
In health. although less apparent is
also Of considerable Importance. 81
lage has laxative effect and keeps
the general health Of the cattle con-
siderably better. Instances are record

STARVING BEES
GEO. A. HUMMER

"OKTIBBEHA bee raisers are
starting their bees this year." says
George A. Hummer, "and will have
only themselves to blame if the yield
of honey this year is below normal
Also there are too many box hives
and black bees" Mr.. Hummer de-
voted two days to OKTIBBEHA a
week ago and at the special request
Of the NEWS has written the follow
ing letter which should be of interest
to practically every farmer.
To the Bee Keepers of OKTIBBE-
HA County:
After spending two days in your
county find your bees very short
of honey. In fact, some have none
at all. Now, bees must have honey
or sugar syrup to live on and raise
young bees, and every bee keeper
should examine his bees at once and
if they are short of food, feed them
syrup made with one part sugar and
one part water. Put an empty super
on your hive body and put your feed
in vessel and put inside of the super
and put on cover. Contract the en-
trance of hive to a half inch space
while feeding. This feeding should
have been done a month ago. Here
after watch your bees in the spring
and if they are short of food. feed
them up-it will pay the biggest kind
of dividends.
Another thing find-you have too
many box hives and bleck bees. This
black bee was brought here from
Germany. They are poor honey
gatherers and are non-resistant to
European Foul Brood. Get the Ital-
ian Bee by all means. Don't waste
any more of your time on the box
hive-get the movable frame hive.
If you want to make your own hives,
buy one factory-made and use it as a
pattern. Do not try to make the in
side fixtures, such as the frames, as
you cannot make them. By all
means use full sheets of foundation
in the brood chamber.
Give your bees more attention.
You will plant, cultivate and harvest
your crops at considerable expense,
and labor-while the bee will harvest
the crop and nature will supply the
honey free of charge. Mississippi,
as well as good many other states,
lets half of it's honey go to waste for
want of bees to gather it. This is
a shameful waste of one of our best
and most healthful foods, and one
that we can i'll afford to lose in these
times of sugar scarcity. Wake up
brothers and lets give the bees the at
tention they deserve. The A. and
M. College will give you what they
can.
Yours very truly,
GEO. A. HUMMER,
Specialist in Bee Culture
