GOOD FEEDS FOR HAPPENING
Iowa Experiment Station in Feeding Steers.

Cane and beet molasses are good feeds for fattening steers. The only question, in some cases, is whether ii is economical to feed it in competition with cheap corn. Tests at Iowa ex- pertinent station, with twO-year-0ld steers. showed loss on every ration tried, but there was a smaller loss when cane and beet mOlasses were omitted from the ration in one set of feeding tests. Tests year ago last winter brought this bit of advice: "GO slowly in purchasing either cane or beet molasses if the price Is higher than corn, pounds for pound If a feeder wants to use a pound or so a day per steer for an appetizer he can afford to pay more for it.

Eskimos Slaughter Musk OK.


 The Eskimo hunts the musk OK with dogs from which they do not flee. On sighting d small band he lets one or two dogs loose when the older ani- mals immediately face outward in de fensive formation with calves in the center, and prepare to give fight. As soon as the herd is thus anchored" the Eskimo lets all his dogs loose and then proceeds to kill the musk OK with gun or bow and arrow. The musk OK are very fierce, and if wounded bull charges the Eskimo, the dogs in turn immediately attack him, which gives the hunter a chance to shoot a second time. In this way the Eskimo is able to dispatch the whole herd.

Lack of training, poor preparation, insufficient schooling, faulty outlook, snap judgment, narrow ideas-these are some of the phrases used to ex- plain failure. They likewise are the chief reasons why so many men who hardly have failed in the active sense of the word yet must be classed among those who do not succeed.-C. N. Gib- ney.

 Now, a good smoking tobacco has got to seem like discovery not only at the first pull at the pipe, but on through the years.
 That means that it has got to suit exactly the needs of many pipe mokers who would throw it aside if 1t didn't.
 Edgeworth seems to keep on being regarded as a discovery by smokers months and years after they begin smoking it.
 ItmigM seem like discovery to you. We don't insist that it will Pipe smokers differ too widely in their in- dividual tastes.

 Simply write on a postcard your name and address, then that of the dealer filling your smoking needs, and we will send you samples of Edge worth in both forms-Plug Slice and Ready-Rubbed.
 Edgeworth Plug Slice is pressed, then sliced. Rub one thin, moist slice for a moment between the hands. That's an average pipe-load.
 Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed is just that-ready to pour straight into your pipe. It packs rather well. Now see how freely and evenly it burns.
 Edgeworth is sold in various sizes, suited to the needs and means of all purchasers. Both Edgeworth Plug Slice and Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed come in small pocket-size packages, In attractive tin humidors and glass jars, and in economical in-between quantities for smokers desiring more than small package, yet not quite the humidor size.

FAMOUS IN IRISH HISTORY
King Roderick Sometimes Referred
To as the Last of the Mon
archs Of the Island.

Rory O'ConnOr bears a name IA
nous in Irish history. His most noted
namesake was king Of Ireland. When
he became king of Connaught In 1856
one of his first acts was to put out
the eyes of one of his brothers as a
sure means of preventing him from
becoming a rival. In 1166 he went to
Dublin. gave the Danes, who were In
possession. 1000 cows, and was there
inaugurated king of all Ireland,
ceremony which was the first Irish
regal pageant of which the city was
the scene. Rulers were placed over
various counties and provinces, and
some of these were far from popular.
The people Of Meath depOsed their
king. for which affrOnt O'COnnor re-
ceived compensation OF 240 cows.
Henry II of England visited Ire
land in III, and O'COnnOr's terri
tory became disputed. but after
treaty concluded at Windsor he was
left to rule Connaught as before the
English invasion. and was to be head
under Henry of the kings and chiefs
of Ireland. He was to acknowledge
Henry as his liege lord and to pay
him an annual tribute of hides. Fight
ing with Henry and with his sons con-
tinued until ROderick's death in the
abbey of Cong. County Galway. He
is commonly spoken of as the last ma
tive king of Ireland. but this distinc-
ton belongs rather to Maelsechlainn
I, as Roderick's title to rule the whole
island was no better than that Of
Henry II-both resting on force alone

Grass in New York Streets.

1t is literally true that grass Is
growing in scores of Manhattan's
streets. The crop Is especially green
on streets running off Riverside drive.
The practice Of watering them daily
by the street cleaning department.
keeps the grass fresh and hearty. Many
of these streets are comparatively
steep and are paved with blocks in
stead Of cement. The traffic Is not
heavy enough to wear it down.
The seed from which this crop of
grass springs is spilled from the nose
bags of horses drawing milk wagons
and other vehicles that wait in these
streets while their supplies are being
distributed. The daily sprinkling helps
them to sprout quickly and develop
rapidly.
