Different TYPES OF STEERS
Advantage of Beef Animal Compared
With Scrub as Meat Producer
Is Demonstrated.

A demonstration conducted In CO
operation with the United States de-
partment of agriculture shows the adj
vantage of the beef type compared
with the scrub as a meat producer. A
purebred Aberdeen-Angus steer S15
months of age, and a steer IL months
old. of the dairy type, containing a
large percentage of Jersey blood, were
under observation over 2h years. Both
received similar r%ations, which
consisted of hay. bran and mixed
grains. The live weight was frequent
ly taken, and the dlgestibility of the
total ration and the nitrogen balance
were determined at intervals. The
growth of the purebred steer was more
largely In body girth, while the scrub
steer increased relatively more rapidly
In length and height. II Is thought
h a the difference in temperament.
also breeding, explained in part the
economic superiority of the beef type,
for apparently 'the two steers did not
materially differ as regards digestive
power, percentage of feed energy
metabolized. OF percentage availability
of feed energy"
The purebred steer was superior to
the scrub in that his maintenance re-
quirement was less while his capacity
to consume feed was greater. On the
moderate rations fed, he manifested
this superiority, however, not in the
form of greater gain of live weight
from a unit of food, but in the pro-
duction of higher quality of product,
representing the storage of more en-
ergy available as human food.
Too frequently, farmers apologize
for the gains of their animals and the
condition they are in, by saying they
were unfortunate in selecting the right
breed. While there may be a differ
ence between individuals, whether of
the same or different breeds, there is
little If any difference as has been
shown, between breeds in the feeds
consumed per pound of gain. If in like
condition and stage of maturity. The
Jersey steer, for example, may make
as economical gains from the stand
deen-Angus steer. This does not mean
that Jerseys are as desirable for the
production of beef as the Aberdeen
Angus, for such is not true. While the
gain may be practically the same up
to a certain limit. the price received
per pound of gain will be from two to
five cents more in the case of the

THIS GRAIN TRULY GOLDEN
How Discovery Of Prolific Gold Field
Was Made in Mysore, State
of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time is in the
Kolar district (Mysore state) of India.
Discovery of it was made in a curious
way.
In prosperous years. when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest of rice, grains of gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
ly mystified the natives, who ascribed
the gold to supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the ~gravelly
soil, lodged OF the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence. at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov-
cry that the g~ravels of the valley were
rich in gold. brought down from the
mountains. Since then the Kolar dis.
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supply of the yellow metal.

AIR IN Tire IS
HELD BY VALVE
Mechanism Is Strong Enough to
Withhold Pressure of 70
to125 Pounds.
SHOULD NEVER Be REMOVED
When Dirty, corroded or Misplaced It
Cannot Perform Its Functions
ProperIy-cap and Washer
Afford Protection.

Motorists are often puzzled to know
what keeps the air in the tire. A SEN
sitive little mechanism commonly
called the plunger and strong enough
TO hold back air pressure as high as
20 TO 1916 pounds to the square inch,
functions here. This little valve,
which consists of a plunger about an
inch long. n bit of spring n rubber,
is responsible for the well-being of the
tire.
1t Is located inside the valve stem,
and seats against n dreaded metal
core. II should never be removed I'M
less absolutely necessary. When 1t is
taken out 1t should not be replaced un-
less all the parts are in perfect work
ing order.
Gets Out Of Order.
When Initiating a tire the motorist
sometimes accidentally bends the wire
plunger, throwing the valve working
parts out of line. Sometimes 1t be-
comes corroded sometimes dirty or
misplaced. When thus handicapped 1t
cannot perform properly its duties of
keeping the air In the tire.
At the top OF the valve stem Is n
small cap which assists the valve by
protecting 1t against the dust which
would ordinarily collect there. This
cap offers also additional protection
against air leakage, for II Is fitted with
a rubber washer which forms an air
tight seal over the stem.
But there Is n third device which
assists in keeping air in a tire. A lock
washer fits under the dust cap, down
over the valve. and seats OF the part
OF the wheel to which the spokes are
anchored. The %hexagonal nut acts as
n seal to prevent dirt. water and other
foreign substances from creeping past
to ruin the inner tube and valve base.
Contrary to the usual superstition, II
does not prevent the rim or tire from
slipping IN the wheel.
Part Are inexpensive.
These three parts are Inexpensive.
and II they are found to he worn out
or out of order, they can enslly be re-
placed Mt n trinlng expense, Almost

Red Cross Work to be Resumed

Word has Just been received by the
Prowers County Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross from Division Head
quarters that chapter production will
be resumed.
Constant reports from OVERSEES Of
conditions of distress in Celtrai and
Eastern Europe, where newborn bah
les are discharged from maternity hos
pitols wrapped in newspapers and men
and women are without decent cloth
ing, are responsible for this new APP
peal for production.
According to information received
from Division office il is neither DOS
sible nor desirable to consider chapter
production on the old war oasis, chief
ly because of the expense eEtailed IN
warehousing and transpor-
tation. The present need is mainly
for outfits for the babies who are be-
ing born In the land OF misery and
starvation abroad.
The expense Of this new activity IL
to be borne by the Red Gross Chapters
all over the United States. Both Ma
tional and Division headquarters dc
not think it will be necessary to have
special workrooms, instead they advis'
ing that the Chapter women meet will
their neighbors for work and that tbs
inspection be done by some one wh'
was familiar with the requirements ef
fective during the war. War Tim'
standards are not strictly necessar!
as any serviceable material and simple

however, and won by score Of to

between Eads and Granada, which was
also a good exhibition and was won by
Eads by Score Of 6 to /.
On Monday large section Of the
big crowd in town went down to the
grounds to see the game between La
mar and Elkhart. Feebeck pitched
again and was almost as effective as
on the day before, striking out nine
men and allowing only 8 hits. His
support was again good and Elkhart
had hard work to get their one score.
The Lamar boys by heavy work with
