Moses as Alchemist.

All writers upon alchemy trium-
phantly cite the Bible story of the
golden calf to prove that Moses could
make or unmake gold at his pleasure.
1t is recorded that Moses was so
wroth with the Israelites for their
idolatry that "he took the calf which
they had made, and burned it in the
fire, and ground it to powder, and
strewed 1t upon the water, and made
the people of Israe! drink of it," This,
say the alchemists, he never could
have done had he not been in possess
sion of the philosophers stone-by no
other means could he have made the
powder of gold float upon the water
The notions of the alchemists seem
to have been that all metals were
composed of two substances-the one.
metallic earth, and the other red,
inflammable matter, which they called
sulphur. The pure union of these
substances formed gold, but other
metals were mixed with and contain
mated by various foreign ingredients.
The object of the philosophers stone
was to dissolve or neutrallze all
these ingredients by which iron. lead,
copper and all metals would be trans
muted into the original gold

LOOKED IN FACE OF DEATH
AnoIo-IndIan Merchants Close Gail at
the Hands of Servant Who
Sought Revenge.

Poisoning is a fine art in India. It
is favorite way to be revenged on
foe in a private quarrel. Sometimes
reptile is placed in mans bed,
or the more subtle method may be
adopted of inserting poison, in his be-
longings.
An Anglo-Indian merchant once had
an adventure that nearly cost him his
life. He had gotten along well with
the natives, but two of his servants
had had quarrel over a girl The
merchant interfered in the affair.
Laj, the unsuccessful sultor, began to
make trouble, and his rival, the hus-
band, warned the merchant against
him.
Nothing happened for some months.
Then the merchant went aWay on
business. On his return he was told
that Laj had been caught In - bed
room.
In the East this means trouble. The
merchant called his servants and had
thorough search made of the house.
They scrutinized every knob, handle
and garment to see whether it had
been smeared with poison or with
juices that attract venomous crea-
lures.
The merchant was tired, and after
eating went to the cabinet where he
kept his cigars. AS he took up box
he noticed on it the mars of dirty
fingers.
He was about to take cigar when
he noticed that something was wrong
with the head. A second and third
were like the first. In each small,
almost imperceptible rose thorn had
been inserted and on it was dab of
brown slime, still moist, the same
color as the cigar.
The merchant notified the police. In
half an hour an officer appeared with
Laj under guard. The merchant
stated the case to the officer, and, TAX
ing one of the cigars, handed it to
Laj with the command, "Take it and
smoke it."
The man refused His guilt was
proved.

TUBERCULOSIS TEST TABLETS
Perfection of an Apparatus Is consid'
cred Big Aid in Campaign
for Eradication.

prepared by the United s ;es Department
of Asricultu-e.J
The United States Department of
Agriculture announces the perfection
of an apparatus through the use of
which tablets to be used in the oph-
thalmic test for tuberculosis in cattle
may be manufactured in sufficient
quantities to supply the demand. The
material used in making these tablets
takes up moisture from the air so
readily that unless atmospheric con-
ditions are ideal it is impossible to
shape the material into tablets. In
practice it was found possible to man
ufacture them during only about thirty
days in the year, until the new appa-
ratus was devised.
The ophthalmic test, while not Off
cial, has become very important in the
fight against tuberculosis in cattle,
and several million tablets are now
needed annually to supply the demand.
Under the former system of making
/ them only when the humidity and tenn
perature of the air permitted, it was
impossible to keep up with the de-
mand.
The apparatus, which was designed
in the bureau of animal industry, con-
sists of specially constructed, closed
chamber in which air is cooled and
dried by having the moisture frozen
out of it by circulating over brine
coils. The air then passes over elec-
trio heating coils, which raise 1t to
the proper temperature, without
changing the moisture content. This
sir is then supplied to & working box,
where the tablets are to be made.
This box is arranged to admit the
hands of the operator without opening

Few Precautions and Suggestions for

Even poor cow Is too valuable to

tions for treating animals during this
delicate period are offered by special
lists from the dairy department Of the

In order to allow COW sufficient
rest and chance to put on flesh before
calving 1t is a good practice to
have her become dry about six weeks
before freshening. This seems to be
natures way Of preparing her for the
labor Of lactation. A few days pre-

to well-bedded box stall.

EASY MATTER TO UNDERFEED
Cows Are often Neglected During
Winter Season When Feed Prices
Are High.

During the winter months, with high.
priced feeds, it is an easy matter to
underfeed the cow An animal will
use so much feed for maintenance re-
gardless of whether or not she pro-
duces any milk. If milk production Is
desired. she must be fed enough to
produce it, above what is required for
her maintenance. A thousand-pound
COW needs 20 pounds of good corn
silage and eight pounds of clover hay
or its equivalent simply for body up
keep. If milk is expected, She must be
fed above this amount to produce the
heavier producing animals requiring
the most feed.

DECREASE IN FLOW OF MILK
Absence Of Succulcnt Feed and Chilly
Winds Of Winter Are Chiefly

The tendency on the part of the

due to natural causes. Absence Of

to chilly winds, are often responsible
for sudden drying or In cows

management of the dairy herd calls
for rations of succulent feed, together

wheat bran and oats, equal parts, be
ing excellent at that time. If the own
er is able to calculate the exact day
on which the COW is to calve, nothing
is better as feed than a bran mash
On calving day the COW will probably
not eat much feed. but this need cause
no alarm.
Although 1t Is not necessary for the
attendant to be present at calving time,
he should be nearby to Judge whether
she needs assistance or not. lmmedi-
ately after freshening the COW should
be offered lukewarm water and n warm
bran mash. The attendant should keep
close watch of the COW after she fresh
ems to be sure that the afterbirth is
not retained. Should she still retain
1t "a hours after freshening, an inexpe-
rienced man should call in veteri-
marian.
Because the vitality of the COW Is
lowest at calving time she must be
kept away from drafts. The ration
for the first few days should be light,
and II there is any Inflammation in the
