SALT ESSENTIAL IN RATION
Material May Be Supplied by Mixing
With Feed, or It May Be Left In
Convenient Box.

Practical observations and scientific
Investigations have shown that salt
Is essential In the ration Of n dairy
COW. From one to three ounces per
day Is needed, depending upon the
amount Of milk produced. Accord
Ing to Babcock's investigations at the
Wisconsin experiment station, a COW
needs one ounce per day per 1000
pounds live weight with an additional
0-10 Of an ounce for each 20 pounds
Of milk produced. Salt may be sup
piled by mixing the proper amount
with the feed, or 1t may be placed In
some convenient place where the COW
can get at 1t daily and take such
amounts as her appetite demands.
Many dalrymen prefer to place lump
Of rock salt where the COW can lick
1t at will. This Is really cheaper and
there is less work. But, however you
feed 1t, don't forget that the cows
must have it--not once every week
or two, but at least each second day
and each day Is better.

MUCH REVEALED IN THE FACE
How Ones Occupation Can Be Told
by Those Who Have Made Study
Of the Subject.

It seems to be pretty well agreed
among those In position to speak au
thOritatively that associated with the
various occupations In life there Is I'M
doubtedy type Of face which more
or less betrays the calling Of its own
er. Medical men, especially In hos
pital practice, find acquaintance with
these types valuable. They may not
be able, with the shrewdness of Sher-
lock Holmes or Of other acute persons,
to read mans past, present and fu-
ture by glance at him In the street,
but they are able to gauge with con-
siderable accuracy how far the history
of the case, as given by the patient. Is
n truthful one, and how far 1t fits with
his probable occupation In life. Call
ing must certainly have some influence
over the physiognomy Of the cabman,
the butler, or the groom; each fire.
quently possesses type Of face which
wears SO characteristic an expression
MS to make It not difficult to Identify
the vocation accompanying 1t. We
speak also of the legal face, the mu-
steal face, the dramatic face, and the
military face. This is merely broad
classification, and the best authorities
disbelieve In the claims of the keen
observer that he can differentiate to
finer degree.

How Secrets May Be Preserved.

Synthetic inks, by means of which
writings remain invisible until the pa-
per on which they are used Is subject
ed to certain external influences, have
long been known, but disappearing
paper the decay of which at the end
Of fixed time destroys writing and
all, Is somewhat of novelty.
Such paper, 1t appears from a
French report, was invented some time
ago. 1t is prepared by sleeping in
acid, the strength of which is varied
according to the lease Of life intended
to be bestowed upon the paper. After
longer or shorter time the paper dis.
ntegrates and falls to pieces. 1t is
suggested that this kind of paper
would be boon to those who do not
wish to have their letters indefinitely
preserved.

How Carbon Black Is Made.

How is carbon black made2 By
burning oil or natural gas. But the
carbon obtained from gas is much
blacker and better than the carbon
from oil.
Gas burners are erected underneath
steel channels that move back and
forth. The carbon is deposited on
these channels, but 1t Is constantly
scraped off by their movement against
each other. Only Is per cent Of the
total carbon In the gas Is recovered in
the form Of black; thus the waste of
gas Is enormous. Scientists are now
trying to produce carbon from gas by
mixing 1t with other gases without
necessitating combustion. - Popular

FEEDING COWS SAWDusT

The facetious statement, re-
peated In a joking way, "Put
green goggles on the cows and
fool them by feeding sawdust
and shavings," is apparently not
going to be necessary in future
to feed them that product. It
has been found by experiment
that sawdust from non-reslnous
soft woods can be used, but it
first must undergo n process Of
treatment with certain acids,
which change a part Of the dry
matter into carbohydrates. How
ever, the low protein content
of sawdust as a feed would not
augur well for Its future use.

EXPERT HUNTERS WAGE
WAR ON SAVAGE BEASTS.
Compared with some indIyld-
unl members Of the mountain
lion, wolf and coyote families,
Gulllyer's hungry giants and
glnntesses were light and dainty
eaters. All these animals are
classed Ms predatory, but few
specimens develop exceptional
skin and cunning In killing cat
tie, sheep, and colts. They usual.
ly acquire equal skill In avoid.
Ing traps, poison bnlts, and rifle
fire, and often do thousands OF

they are killed.

vey, United States Department
Of Agriculture, keeps n staff Of
expert hunters IN the field for
the express purpose Of Kidding
government range lands Of these
: fOur-f00ted outlaws, and thus
assist in relieving the rancher.
A government hunter killed
mountain lion near Roosevelt,
Arlz., that had destroyed 80
calves and three colts on single
ranch. One wolf slain by anoth-
err hunter in New Mexico had
killed % calves. Another, In
Wyoming, slaughtered 80 head
Of cattle before one Of Uncle
Sans hunters shot the criminal.
A pair Of Wyoming wolves that
had learned exceptional cunning
and cruelty ran n yearly board
bill amounting to about $500.
Their meal tickets were cancelled
by couple Of well-nimed rifle
shots by n government hunter.
Two other wolves, which showed
gustatory preference for mutton
and young horse flesh in single
month killed $50 sheep and seven
colts, but at the end OF the
month n hunter collected their
pelts.

Japan will voluntarily offer for
NAL apology and an indemnity for
the death OF Engineer Lieutenant

sentry at VIadivostok, is the belief
of State Department officials eX-
pressed Thursday. This view ex-
vailed following a visit to the De-
partment by Ambassador Shldehara.
A note from Japan, received We'd
nesday, acknowledged receipt of the
protest sent by this government
against the killing OF Lieut.. Lang
don and indicated Willingness to
make amicable settlement.
Belief was expressed. by one ON
cial that the indemnity to be offered
will be above 100000" China re-
Gently paid 100000 for killing an
American sailor and S25.OO0 for
killing an American warrant Officer
Lieut.. LanEdon, however. was a

amount to be offered by Japan is

Chairman White An
nounces Campaign Deficit
Is 100000.

Chairman George White, of the
Democratic National Committee. an
nounCed last night that tomorrow
he will name an executive commit
tee of fifteen members to wind up
the affairs of the recent Presiden-
tial campaign. It will probably be
composed OF nine men and six
women
The executive committee also will
exercise control of party matters
pending the contemplated reorgan-
ization Of the national committee.
The principal task before the ex-
ecutiye committee will be to meet
the deficit left by the campaign.
White said reports that the deficit
amount to 100000 are somewhat
exaggerated. When finally figured
out it will probably total below
$500. 900.
II hope to be able TO announce
at an early date that the deficit
has been entirely paid of" he said.
White will be chairman of the eX-
eCutive committee. The decision to
name this committee, following up
on Gov. CoX's visit to Washington
and his conferences with leaders OF
the various party elements, is in
terprcted as meaning that White
will not relinQuish the chairman
ship OF the national committee at
an early date, and that the proposed d
reorganization Of the committee will
be indefinitely postponed
Under this plan the night by the
MCAdoo faction to win control OF
