farmers that conditions in the original

port that Great Britain and japan con-
templated the project as joint en-
terprise on their own account, anyway,
so says report.
II was for a long time thought that
we would decide upon a Nicaragua
route in preference to that of Panama,
but the final choice fell to the isthmus,
mainly because of fear of the Mica
raugan volcanoes, which are very tenn
peramental and sometimes fiercely ex-
plosive.
Nevertheless the proposed line Of
the Nicaraguan canal passed 30 miles
south of the nearest active volcano
and the route had certain conspicuous
advantages. For one thing, the high

far as immediate communication with
the United States was concerned.
The station now completed is the
largest in the world. 1t has eight
820-foot towers. and its engineering
features, while in general modelled on
those Of our naval stations at Airing
ton and Annapolis, are unique both in
their magnitude and in some features
of their design.
The success of this station in
transmission is exemplified by the
fact that the audibility OF its signals,
as measured Mt the naval radio labora-
tory in the bureau of standards, Is five
times the audlbllity of the similar sig
nails from the German radio station at

7 SN'T there a hoary old yarn about
L Il man who equipped his donkey
with green spectacles and tried to edu-
cate 1t to eat shavings? Well, any
way, he wasn't a circumstance to
Uncle Sam. He's going to fatten up
our cows and make 'em give more
milk on a diet OF sawdust.
In short, when the dairy farmer of
the future needs feed for his cows he
may get fresh supply by going out in
his wood lot and reducing few
stumps to sawdust.
BY chemical treatment sawdust may
be converted into nourishing cattle
food.
This fact was made public at sec
tional meeting of industrial and en-
cheering chemists. American Cherni-
cal society, at the University of Chi
cago.
The process OF preparing such anil

NAL food was described by Il. c. Sher-
rard and G. w. Blanco.
White sawdust, finely ground, is
treated with diluted sulphuric acid In
a large boiler known as digester, I'M
der steam pressure. This breaks up
the fiber and extracts the sugar. TO
prevent injurious effects, the acid is
neutralized by adding lime TO produce
chemical reaction.
The liquid thus obtained, when
boiled down. is rich in sugar. and when
mixed with the fiber produces moist
feed containing about - per cent Of
water, in which form 1t Is fed 70 dairy
cows.
At the forest products laboratory,
United States department of agrIcnl-
ture, Madison, Wis, experiments
proved that three cows thrived on this
sawdust ration and not only gave more
milk, bur increased in weight. SO says
Uncle Sam.
The result was so satisfactory that
the government has decided to take
the matter up on a larger scale at the
experiment stations throughout the
country and furnish a detailed report
on the value of hydrolyzed sawdust as
cattle food. So says Uncle Sam.

Once More the Nicaragua Canal Project

Alaska to Cape HORNY, whereas ON
the Isthmus of Panama it was 564
feet.
This is interesting because the Mica
raugua canal may yet be dug TO sup
plement for commercial purposes the
facilities of the Panama ditch The
route would be 1874 miles shorter from
New York to San Francisco than by
way of the isthmus; and the canal
would not cost more than one-third
as much as that of panama--barring
however, the risen price of labor and
materials.
Looking at the map, one sees that
Nicaragua is wide compared with
the Isthmus of Panama. But also
one observes that much of Its mar
rowest part is occupied by an immense
lake, 100 miles long and 45 miles
broad, out of which a large river,
called the San Juan, runs eastward oil
the way of the Caribbean sea. A strip
only - miles wide separates the lake
from the Pacific ocean; three-fourths
of the rivers length Is navigable, and
thus, as II lnfgHt De Salu, mOSt "a u1
digging has already been done by ma
