! DAT FEED

MADISON, Wis. Farmers, es-
pecially dairymen, will be interested
in statement issued by the state
department of agriculture this week
concerning the value Of oat feed.
Dat feed, or oat mill by-products,
says w. H. Strowd of the depart
ment, is not substitute for grain
but is useful only as filler or light
ener for heavy feeds. The state
ment was recently made by feed
jobber in a circular sent broadcast
throughout the state that oat feed
will save grain. While this product
cannot be said to have no value, as
was stated in a recent press article
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-09-22

through a typographical error, is is
fact that many farmers buying this
feed with the idea that they can save
grain will find that they have made
poor investment even at $500 to
$1,000 ton. An analysis of a
sample Of oat feed made in the
laboratory of the State Department
of Agriculture as compared with the
average analysis of oat chaff will
give good idea of the true value
of this produce. The analysis is
as follows:

Equal Parts of CornmeaI, Ground Oats
and Wheat Bran Is Good for
Young Animals.

A good grain mixture for the young
calves is equal parts of cornmeal,
ground oats and wheat bran. To start
the calf on grain, sprinkle a small
amount In the bucket after he has fin
ished his milk. There Is no danger
of over-feeding him on grain, and he
should be given all that he will eat.

SAVE the RACE FROM POISON
Work That Nature Has Ordained for
the Leaves Is Indispensable
to Humanity. 8sE

Thot we owe a big debt of gratitude
to the old elm tree, and to the cinna-
Inon rosebush, and even to the big
pigweed that jeers at us from the
corn rows. is driven home to us by
Sollta Solano In an article on the
microscope in the American boy.
Every one learns, says the writer.
that animals live through breathing in
from the air pure oxygen and breath
ing out poisonous carbon dioxide. But
how many ever stop to think where
the poison goes after it is breathed
out and where our fresh supply OF
oxygen comes from?
Leaves are four-fifths water and al
most all the rest carbon. They get
the carbon from the air, breathing 1t
in through multitudes Of tiny mouths.
In one square inch of lilac leaf there
are 100000 mouths. These orifices
take into the leaves of the world the
] 200 900 carloads of carbon dioxide
that are passed daily into the atmos-
phere. The leaves break up the car
bon dioxide into it's original elements,
carbon and oxygen. They retain the
carbon Yand give us back pure oxygen
in return. Thus they maintain a nat
ural equilibrium; we owe our very ex-
istence to the trees and plants. r..a g.
Without the microscope we should
never have known about the mouths
of the leaves and what an all-impor-
tant part they play in our lives.

WHEN THE FLESH "CREEPs"
Sensations Of Fear and Horror Cause
Progressive Contraction OF the
No.. Erective Muscles.

When one is greatly frightened and
impulses 90 out from the brain centers
to the erector muscles the progressive
contra ction of the latter can be dis
tinctly felt, This sensation commonly
attends the emotions of fear and hor-
,ror and is popularity described as q
Creeping" Of the flesh. -.
Impulses which pass out over the
nerves from the brain affect various
muscles in addition to those attached
to the roots Of hairs. This fact ac-
counts for the peculiar behavior Of the
heart when one is badly scared, for
the tenseness of the throat and the
vocal cords and for the trembling OF
the hands, ETC., A contraction of the
muscular tissues controlling the blood
vessels partly closes them and so shuts
off the supply of blood to the, skin.
This, of course, results in paleness.
At the, same time the numerous
sweat glands in the skin are excited
and pour forth an unusual amount OF
perspiration. =, This causes the Off,
mentioned "cold sweat" In reality 1t
is no more. cold than any other sweat,
but 1t seems so because it occurs when
the skin is chilled, due to, the con-
striction of it's arteries and capillaries.

SPEEDING IN THE YEAR 1884
Costly Pastime for New York Stage
Driver, Who Was Fined $40
...@. Twice in Day.

Speeding is an ancient evil in New
York streets. AS long ago as 1884 the
police had their troubles with road
burners" although, of course, they
drove horses then, not motor cars.
Here's what newspaper said about
the ancestors Of the present day sons
Of Jehu, one of whom was arrested
twice in one day, the New York Sun
points out: 7s.S'at VERA
, '.The shameful conduct Of the omni-
bus coachmen, who are continually
driving their horses through the
streets at the top Of their speed, has
at last attracted the attention of the
proper authorities, and yesterday
morning Stephen Colvin, the driver Of
the, Samuel W., ,Seely (Andrews' Dry
Dock Line) was brought to the upper
police Office and fined $40 for fast
driving. Y t
In the course of the afternoon the
same man was brought before Justice
Hopson at the lower police office ON
the complaint of Aid. Pickett for
furious driving and racing with the
merchant stage, driven by Van kuren.
Colvin was again fined $40, which has
been paid by his employer. and he was
liberated. Van Kuren was extremely
insolent to the magistrate, and not
being able to pay the fine OF $40, and
in default thereof, was committed to
the bridewell."
