FEED FOR FATTENlHG STOCK
Addition OF Alfalfa to Ration for Cat
tie Gives Better and More
Profitable Gains.

Experiments OF the United States
Department of Agriculture have shown
that alfalfa added to ration for fat
tening cattle or young growing stock
gives better and more profitable gains.
Compared with hay from sorghum
and the grasses, alfalfa has consist
emily given the best gains. There
seems to be little difference In the re-
suits given by the alfalfa or clover and
other legumes, but alfalfa is more PAL
atable and is more readily and COM
pletely consumed.

a certain tube Is used In regenera-

the plate lmpedance Is changed, and
the energy fed back TO the grid cir

The beekeeper often loses interest
In his apiary as soon as the honey

often the time bees should he watched
carefully, fer they frequently need a

that Its carriage rests nearly level

COUNTRIES GET
POOR RETURN IN
RUSSIAN TRADE

The Hague-Foreign Minister
Karnebeek told the Netherlands
parliament the other day that
England. Germany and Norway
were greatly disappointed over the
results of their commercial treaties
with Russia. He said that Russian
production was so unimportant that
barter was impossible. that the eco
uomical conditions in Russia were
getting worse and that the Russian
gold supply was rapidly decreasing.
The minister was skeptical about
opening diplomatic relations with
Russia, saying that the soviet gov
eminent had never approached the
Dutch government for recognition.
This, he said, was natural because
recognition would mean respect by
Russia for the\ Dutch government
and they could hardly expect the
soviets TO respect the Dutch form of
government.

scientists have long known, with
out understanding precisely why,
that every once in a while a piece
of tempered steel or stout forging
will break down without apparent
reason.
The solution of this question.
the engineers say, is awaited with
eagerness by American aviation ex-

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Wheat has
shown a decided tendency toward
higher prices this week, largely as
a result of prospective greater
European demand together with
talk of a coming shortage in the
domestic supply. Compared with
week ago the wheat market this
morning was up 15ac to 2$sc a
bushel. Other gains for the week
were: Corn, sc to pa G23sc. oats,
A@Ssc to sc and provisions, l0c
to soc
Announcement that world stocks
of wheat had decreased nearly o.
600, 900 bushels in a week, and that
estimates of the Australian surplus
were being sharply reduced gave
some point to hopefuiness about a
greater call ahead from Europe for
wheat. The buying side of the
market was also favored because
of adverse crop reports from Okla
home and elsewhere southwest and
later because of word of the pres
ence of the green bug pest in Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas. Then came
farm reserve estimates, which, if
accurate, would seem to imply that
except for mill and country eleva
tor stocks, the United States was
facing a shortage of 80,000.G00
bushels Of wheat before the 1922
crop would be available, July ].
Timely snowfalls in the southwest,
affording needed moisture and pro-
lection to winter wheat, led, how
ever, to a moderate downturn from
tho ron TTirpc of the week
Corn and oats derived their
gains for the most part from the
action of wheat Besides there was
further export buying of corn, and
estimated farm reserves of corn
were cut down.
Scantiness OF provision stocks
tended to lift the value of provi-
sions.

Miners Meeting at ShamOkin, Pa.
Want 20 Per Cent Increase;
Lewis Is Gratified at Action.

Shamokin, Pa. Jan. 21,-De-
mands adopted by the tri-district
wage convention of the anthracite
miners, which adjourned late last
night, will be presented for ratifi-
cation to the international co9ven-
ton of the United Mine Workers at
Indianapolis. next month.
The principal demands provide a
20 per cent increase in the con-
tract wage scale and an advance of
81 a day for all men employed by
the day. Nineteen demands were
presented, some of technical
character. All were adopted with
out serious opposition. The con-
vention instructed the scale COM
mittee to perfect arrangements
providing a suspension of mining
on April l, in the event that no
satisfactory agreement has been
reached by March 81, when the
present wage scale expires. This
action was unexpected by some of
the leaders, it was said, and did
not provoke dissenting voices
among the delegates. 1t has been
the custom Of the anthracite min
ers, except in one or two instances,
TO remain at work pending the fav-
orable progress of wage negotia-
tons. The demands of the anthra-
cite men will be presented TO the
operators after the Indianapolis
convention.
President John l.. Lewis, of the
international organization today
expressed qualification at the ac-
ton of the anthracite men.
