No Longer an Experiment

Peringer calls this work an exper-
iment, but from all indications, it
has passed out of the experimental
stage into practically common sense
farming. "Just think for moment,
remarked Peringer, sit sure gives one
the feeling of satisfaction to know
that all the barns are full of home
grown feeds and we won't have to buy
a thing except salt" The day we
were at this ranch every one was
busy feeding a silage cutter. They
were filling the barns and lofts with
finely chopped alfalfa, sweet clover
and grain hays. 1t was interesting
to note that instead of selling their
surplus hay and other feeds, these
will be marketed through milk COWS
in the form of milk at a nice mar
gin of profit for the feed as well as
for the milk. In connection with this
type of livestock running on the fall
wheat, one must not overlook the
value of manures.
Other Things Besides Wheat
Wheat may be the outstanding
marketable cereal at this place, but
it certainly isn't the only crop from
which this pair of interesting farm
ers depend for their cash stipend.
Peringer said, 1--WE have s~unflowers,
alfalfa, sweet clover and peas on u
ranch beside wheat, oats and barley.
We utilize the ~sunflowers for winter
silage for our milk cows, and by the
way, we have selected the Brown
Swiss as the farmers best dual pur-
pose ranch COW for our mixers. We

calf comes, the farmer can get a good

silage, u sunflowers went about 10
tons to the acre. We filled our 100
tor silo from 10 acres of sunflowers.
They yielded SO we'll we did not use
all we planted. They make excellent
silage, perhaps not quite as good as
corn, but one gets so much more
from an acre."
Use of Sweet Clover Ground
Looking across to an old sweet
clover field we asked Mr.. Peringer
how he used his sweet clover after it
had been in pasture for two years.
1t was instructive to learn that eve
used our sweet clover for two years,
then plowed it up and planted part to
bluestem wheat, sunflowers and peas.
The bluestem wheat went about 25
bushels, the sunflowers did ordinar-
lily well and we got a good crop of
peas. The peas were hogged off to
excellent advantage The appear

ALTITUDE is MEASURED
BY BOILING OF WATER
Tests Show That Surveying
Method Is Less Accurate
Than the HyDSometer.

The most accurate way of meaSur
ing the height of a mountain is the
boiling-water test. Although the mod
ern barometers and surveying instru.
ments used for making such observa-
tions are wonderful, they annot rival
the boiling test. Many mountain meas
urements made with surveying instru-
ments have been corrected When water
was boiled and observed on the sum
mits.
No one yet knows the height of
Mount Everest, the highest mountain
In the world. Its altitude has beer
measured perhaps a score of times,
but nc two of these observations come
out the same. The various calcufa-
lions have therefore been added to-
gether and averaged, giving the famil-
lar figures 20,OO2 feet. The world
will not know the real height until
succeeds in climbing to it's
summit and boiling water there.
A special instrument, called the
hypsometer, has been invented for
making these tests. 1t is compact and
easily carried on Notwithstanding
expeditions. The only thing breakable
about the device is the thermometer
used for testing he water. The hyp-
someter is so contrived that it can be
used in the snow or when high winds
are blowing and still give accurate
results.
AT sea level water boils at PIP de
grees Fahrenheit. AS the altitude in
creases the boiling point drops. On
very high mountains water boils at
temperatures so low that it is inpos-
sible to prepare a hot drink, and To-
comotives have difficulty in getting
sufficient steam pressure. The noun
tain climbers who succeeded in reach
ing the highest altitude ever attained
on Mount Everest found that even
when water came to a boil in those
high regions it was still possible for
them to plunge their hands in it with
out scaIding them.
The boiling test is very accurate.
The mountain climber may find him
self in peril among the eternal SHOWS,
but the hypsOmeter is never disturbed
and its readings are correct to the
of n foot. The h%ypsometer
has greatly simplifed the work of the
mountain climber. A barometer, to be
exact, must be very delicately made
and of considerable size. 1t is obvi-
ously difficult to carry a long glass
tube up a steep, rocky mountainside
accident. The barometer va
if the mercury is not properly re-
or if the vacuum of the tube is
not quite perfect. The boiling-water
test settles any question of altitude.
