TRADE IN AMBER IS REVIVED
Product Was Among Those Which the
Allies Were Unable to Get
During the War.

Amber is probably the one product
that disappeared in the entente world
during the war. Dyes, potash, toys
and the like products of German mines
and manufacture were replaced with
out causing too much strain; but with
the north German coast cut off the
trade in amber ceased.
Thus, while the opening of Ger
many's ports again means the flow
TO her of thousand and one badly
needed things, amber shortage is an
entente shortage that can only be
filed by her.
Long before the historic age the ma
tiyes upon the Prussian shores of the
Baltic gathered from its waters in
quantity priced amber bits, and al.
ways have traded with these bits in
the worlds markets, observes the New
York Evening Sun. Ancient Greece
and Rome trafficked in this North sea
product. Amber fragments passed from
merchant to merchant in those old
times to the farthest parts of Asia.
Koenigsberg is the center of this
trade. The amber itself is found most
ly on the Baltic coast stretch between
Koenigsberg and Mcneil. Amber has
been discovered elsewhere in the
world, along Greenland's coasts, in
London gravels and other places in
small quantities.
1t was a piece of Baltic amber that
Thales of Melitus used to make the
first electrical experiments, when he
discovered that amber we'll rubbed
would attract light bits of cloth. Am

women. The best native authorities,
however, contend that obolo is not a

base their argument on the fact that

LIVE STOCK NOTES

Every colt raised will be one more
work animal to help till farms.
Better a nose ring for the young bull
than an accident after it is too late.
Pasture is by no means a luxury for
live stock. 1t is now recognized as a
necessity.
sflage is a good feed for most all
classes of stock, but is more popular
as a feed for cattle and sheep.
No other farm animals put on flesh
as economically as pigs with given
amount of feed. Every farmer should
have few pigs.
Teach the calf to eat grain early,
Calves are imitators. If an older calf,
knowing how to eat grain, is in the pen
with the smaller ones. these will soon
learn to eat grain.
From SIX 10 elSHl Weeho p0Ioi
spring work commences the horses
should be put to light work and start
ed on a light grain ration.
An excellent grain ration for little
calves is three parts of oats, one par
of corn and one part of oil meal. Keer
the grain fresh.
The cows should have all of The
roughage they will eat without waste
and then they should have approx
mately one pound of grain mixture
for each four pounds of milk given.

PREVENT cRoWDING OF PIGS
Properly Constructed Feed Trough
Assures Each Individual Porker
of His Share.

Young pigs should be given their
feed in such a manner that each indi-
vidual pig gets its share. The sim
plest way to accomplish this is to al
low the pigs to eat from properly
constructed feed trough, one that will
keep the pigs out of the feed and will
lessen the possibilities of crowding.
