correspondence naval officer, it
should be said-easily puts that to
shame.
"An interesting experiment was
tried some little time ago." he writes
to us, with an ordinary herring.
"The fish was put into large bowl
of salt water and every day small
quantity Of water was removed and
an equal quantity Of fresh was sub
stituted, until eventually the fish lived
and thrived in purely fresh water.
"The owner was so pleased with the
success Of his experiment that he then
tried removing a very small quantity
Of water daily until the bowl was
empty, and found that the herring did
excellently, entirely without water,
and as he was so lively in the empty
bowl he had to put him in a cage.
"Here he lived happily, hopping
from perch to perch just like a bird,
until one: day some sudden noise star

Unusual Methods Used.

With the end Of the war have come
many revelations Of the unusual meth
ods used by the Germans to spread
their harmful propaganda in the coun-
tries arrayed against the central pow
ers, and of the clever work which
often frustrated their well-laid plans.
In one case, mentioned in Popular Me
chanics Magazine, what appeared to
be an old and worn copy Of the works
Of Homer proved to be a volume OF
attacks on British rule in India. Only
the first few pages Of the book were
printed with the words Of the ancient
poet. The remainder, though in Greek
type like the beginning, was filled with
the diatribe. The volume was amd- I'd

Words and Music.

The value of words is going up, at
least in Rouen. There the courts
have decided that the artistic values
of the words and music of poem are
equal. At present in the United
States and Canada the writer Of the
words of song gets only a pittance
of the royalties or a small sum out
right at the start. In England many
of the most popular ballads have
brought their writer's no more than
two or three .guineas, while the COM
poser goes on \cashing his royalty
checks for years. What measure pub
fishers apply to the two arts thus
combined to make words so much less
valuable than music is rather hard 70
understand. Verse writer's might well
send a little gold medal to the just
minded citizens of Rouen who have
ruled it false one.

COWS Of the South and Southwest,

The Aberdeen-Angus is not as large
as the Hereford or Shorthorn, but does

SOUTHERN ARMS. 4 s

HEREFORD IS MOST POPULAR.

Prepared by the United States Depart;
ment of Asrlculture.)
Notwithstanding the fact that the
type Of animal is of very much more
Importance than the breed, there are
some breeds Of beef cattle which are
better suited than others to the South
One breed may be especially adapted
to a certain purpose, or certain
farm, or a certain section of the coun-
try where another may be entirely oui
of place. The answer to the frequent
ly asked question, "What is the best
breed of beef cattle FOR the South?"
cannot therefore be given by naming
any one particular breed.
The Shorthorn breed is we'll adapt
ed to the South, but they are not as
early maturing or do not Craze as vel!
as do the Herefords. They are the
largest of the beef animals, and some
of the individuals show strong milking
tendencies. On a farm where the pas
ture grasses are well developed and.
too much effort is not required to get
I sufficient amount to eat, it would
be difficult to find a breed of beef ami
mails which, would surpass the Short
horn.
Hereford Most Popular.
The Hereford breed is now probably
the most popular in the South. III
size this is one Of the largest breeds,
ranking next to-the Shorthorn. From
the standpoint. Of the average farmer
the weakest point is their inability to
give sufficient quantity of milk to
nourish the calves. On account of ex-
ceptional vigor, rustling ability, Il
thick coat of hair, and temperament,
the Hereford has taken first place as
grazing animal. Owing to their vigor
they are often capable of securing liv-
ing from pastures which afford a limit
ed amount of grass. No breed Of beef
cattle equals the Hereford for with.

CANNING CHICKEN

Selection: Any healthy fowls
NAV be selected for canning. The
age is of little Importance except in
the treatment. Even the oldest
fowls give a good product when
canned.
Utensils: Sharp carving knife,
small pointed knife and scissors.
Several sheets of clean paper-wide
mouthed jars.
Preparation: 4 Use dry method Of
plucking fowls for canning, as
scalding causes deterioration
which, while probably not signiifli:-
cant in the ordinary methods Of
cookery. is not advisable when meat
is to be canned After plucking,
remove pinfeathers and singe Have

 The excursion train. which was arranged jointly by the Moose and ithe businessmen of the town, brought three cars of visitors. the majority of them from Fairbanks. and a number from points along the railroad. north of Nenana.
