MOLASSES FOR DAIRY STOCK
Especially Valuable Where Cows Are
Not Permitted to Exercise
Replaces Green Feed.

One of the helps of the livestock
feeder which is being used more gen.
orally every day is the crude, or low
grade, mOlasses from a sugar mill.
The value of the feed has been found
to be not only in the actual nutrition
content, as indicated by the analysis.
but because of Its q%uallty-not exact
ly succulency. but akin to ~that-which
makes 1t an appetizer. Especially Is
1t valuable where the cows are not
permitted to run on pasture or where
they are not permitted t. exercise.
The molasses acts both as a digester
and tonic and takes the place of green
feed which tends to keep the cows
healthy and Increases all their normal
functions, such as the milk producing
powers. Then, too, dairy cows which
are confined in small areas often lose
their appetites. and when they do milk
production naturally drops Off. BY
adding a little mOlasses to the ration
they will regain their appetites and be-
sides eat more than they did without
the molasses. which of course in
creases their milk production.

Ll~ghtship's PeriIous Voyage.

Ships were imperiled when Nantuck-
ct Shoales beacon. the leading mark
for transatlantic shipping making port
at New York, was torn from its lone
ly and important station by a hurrl-
cane. After inquiry from several
ships that missed the floating beacon
and almost anxious search by a wire

of the lightship's disappearance was
solved when she put In at New Bed
ford. The lightship had been thirty
six hours making port on n run of 100
miles. The hurricane. which blew Ter
away and snapped the moorlngs,
reached a velocity Of ninety miles nm

Persia ranks among the foremost of

The people who inhabit the southern

The former they owe to the ease and

"The Great Puritan Emigration Was
Not the Foundation of America"


Whatever the great Puritan emigration was it was ~emphaticaDy not
the foundation of America. The Puritan emigration was not even the
foundation of English America, as distinct from Spanish America. At
least a whole generation before the Cavinist quarrels, one Of the adyen-
turous antagonists of Spanish America had established the first defiant
frontiers of English America. Raleigh and the Elizabethans gave to their
colony a magnificent Elizabethan name, however little it may have been
merited by Elizabeth. But whether or no its origin was worthy of it, its
history was wholly worthy of it. Nothing in the American story has been
more truly heroic or humane, more truly fitted to last among men IS a
legend, than the story of what we may still be tempted to call the great
nation Of Virginia.
1t is a commonplace to say that Virginia was the very throne of the
authority of the Revolution. From Virginia came Washington, its hero,
and Jefferson, its prophet. The state was known as the Mother of Presi-
dents. 1t was felt a a sort of council chamber of the Fathers of the Re-
public. Not to follow its pivotal political history through a thousand
other things, it is enough to say that, in the Civil war, the adherence of
Virginia to the side of local patriotism, which happened to be the losing
side, was certainly the fact which almost turned it into the winning side.
In Virginia, in the dark hour, arose the greatest of American generals,
who was, perhaps, the nobest of Americans. / really can not imagine why
a history which begins with Raleigh and ends with Lee, and incidentally
includes Washington, should be utterly swept aside and forgotten in favor
of a few sincere, but limited, non-conformists, who happened to quarrel
with Charles !.

didn't fight often. They had entirely
opposite interests. The bear was a
berry-eater and II honey-grubber. and
the cougar cared too much for his own
life and beauty to tackle Wool in a
hunting way.
A fawn leaped from the thicket in
front of him, startled by his sound in
the thicket. The truth was, Whisper
foot had made Il wholly unjustiiied
misstep on a dry twig, Just at the
crucial moment. Perhaps II was the
fault of Wool, whose presence had
driven Whisperfoot from the trail,
and perhaps because old age and stiff
ness was coming upon him. But
neither of these facts appeased his
anger. lie could scarcely suppress a
snarl of fury and disappointment.
He continued along the ridge. still

that he had to leave the trail again to
permit still another animal to pass,
and a particularly insignificant one
too, didn't make him feel any better.
This animal had "A number of curious
stripes along his back, and usually did
nothing more desperate than steal
eggs and eat bird fledglings. Whisper

great cat, as long as he lived, would
never try to do. He got out of the
way politely when Stripe-back was

was quite a compliment TO the little
animals ability to introduce himself.
~Stripe-hack was familiarly known as

important Medical Discovery.

Great possibilities have been sug-
gested by the method of making new
blood discovered by DIR. W. J. Penfold
of the Australian Commonwealth Sc
rum institute, London. In preparing
diphtherla and other erums, the
plasma or fluid Of the blood drawn
from horses has been separated after
the red c~orpuscles have settled, and
the latter have been thrown away.
~Conceiving that this practice might
be improved, Doctor Penfield returned
the red corpuscles into the veins of a
horse that had been bled. The result
Of this injection was an astonishing
q%uickening of the formation of new
blood, and, while the normal average
of blood In n horse Is 80 quarts, II
was found that 80 quarts in a week
could be drawn from the animal with
OUT lessening vitality more than the
usual smaller bleeding. The compo-
sitlon of the blood was not materially
affected. Following the first expert
mer.t. the red corpuscles have been
returned to the entire 30 or 40 horses
bled In the institute, and the effect is
the same In all.

COFFIN OF ATT|LA'
Burial Place of the Great Hun
Leader Reported Found.
"Scourge of God" Seems to
Have Been True.

A correspondent of the London
Times reports the discovery in south
ern Hungary of what psychologists
declare is the coffin of Attila the
Hun, known TO the Christian nations
OF the Fifth century as 1.-THE ScOurge
of God" The find was made in the
bed of the Aranka river, Il small tribu-
tary of the Thesis between the towns
OF Szegedin and Temesvar.
This discovery seems to support
the persistent tradition regarding the
great Hun leaders burial which has
lived for almost 1900 years. His death
occurred soon after his invasion of
Italy and on the night of his marriage.
His body was carried across southern
Austria ut the head of his army and
IN Hungary, at a spot which was
Known only to Il few of his chief Off

place Of the interment might he kept
a secret from Attila's foes.
For centuries there has been a
great fascination in the search for
relics of the Huns, for it was thought
that they might throw some light upon
these strange, almost unknown Asiatic
invaders of Europe. The country
along the Aranka river and around
Szegedin has been industriOusly
searched for evidence of their sue
cesses in Europe.
Some rare and beautiful gold YES
sells have been unearthed in this re-
gion. These relics are preserved among
the Hapsburg treasures. While these
have been identified as belonging to
some of the peoples of the early mi
grafton from the East they have
not been proved definitely to have be-
longed TO the Huns. The latest find is
thus especially noteworthy; not only
Is it the most valuable, but at the
of all the Hun treasures.
The memory of Attlla and his
bands of savage %barbarians was re-
vlved during the World war. The
devastation they wrought in the lands
which they swept seemed to fur
nish the only apt comparison for the
left by the modern Invader.
The people of central and southeast
ern Europe would question today II
the rayages of their country by the
century Huns left in their trail
much suffering and sorrow as were
left by the World war.

Conservation Phase of st. Lawrence
Improvement Is Most Important"


The farmers and industries of the whole region that is nearer to the
Great Lakes than to our salt water ports will reap the advantage of lower
transportation costs from the improvement of the st. Lawrence. Her
bert Hoover estimated this at a saving of certainly 6 cents per bushel on
wheat, and it will be correspondngly as much on other grains. More
than 80 per cent of the many thousands of tons of meat products, lard
and animal oils exported from this country annually are produced in the
Central West, and on every pound a large saving could be made by load
ing into ships at our lake ports
The people Of northern New York and New England will be bene-
fitted even more than their western brethren, for they will not only have
the improved transportation BY water, but will have electric power for
distribution to every city, town and farmsead. Their trunk line rail-
ways al be electrified, and they an Danish the coal famine specter.
But fundamentally the conservation phase Of the St Lawrence i'm
provement is most important Of all. Where on our own continent is there
a region that is not vitality interested in a development that will every
for all future time save US from the need to burn millions of tons
our "black diamonds and use instead the white coal7 that a benei-
cent Providence has laid at our doorstep?
Some good judges estimate that within q decade or two, after the
power demand shall have grown to meet the supply, this annual coal
saving will amount to 100000 900 tons.

Dairy extensionists and au-

policy Of liberal feeding with
dairy cattle is profitable and
should be pursued wherever cir
cumstances make 1t possible.
The importance of adequate
feeding has been shown time
and time again. In one In
stance which may now be cited,
feeding costs were increased In
n year from $50 per COW TO $50,
but the income from each COW
increased from S129 to S21S in
the same interim. so that for
an extra expenditure of $50
profits were increased $50 per
COW.
