.Proteins in Sour Milk
Assist Egg Production

B Some of the poultry departments at
.he agricultural colleges have beer
making experiments to find out why
sour milk Increases egg production.
A study of the analysis of sour skim
milk showed 1t to contain 90.77 per
rent water, 0.10 per cent fat, 1893 per
sent milk sugar Qactose), 0.56 per
ent tactic acid, 800 per cent protein
and 0.79 per cent milk ash or salts.
1t was assumed that water alone
a not the stimulating factor. The
tat content seemed too low, and the
distribution Of carbohydrates did not
point to milk sugar as a possible
source of the problem.
A comparison was made Of rations
containing tactic acid, milk salts, pro.
ein-free sour skim milk and sour skim
milk. The results showed conclusiveiy
hat Tactic acid in the same solution

The results all seem to Indicate that

Creosote Will Make
Posts More Durable
Especially True of Several
Softer Varieties of Wood.

! With wood becoming scarce and la.
Dor more expensive farmers are find
ing ii necessary To use some means of
making their fence posts last longer.
Experiments have shown that creosote
viii solve the problem.
Prof. l.. r. Gross of the New Jersey
State College of Agriculture states
that fence posts treated in c~reosote
will last three to five times as long
as u%ntreated posts. This is especially
true of The softer varieties such as
willow, ash, elm, soft maple, white
il inadvisable to creosote the harder
woods such as oak, red cedar and
chestnut.
1t Is better to use round posts for
creosotirg rather than split posts, as
the penetration will be more uniform.
All bark must be stripped off and the
timber well seasoned before creosot-
ing. C%reosOte eight to ten inches
above the depth to which the post is
to be set, since most rotting takes
place at or just below the ground line.
Posts three or four inches in diameter
at the top give best results as they
are strong enough for most purposes
and usually last as long as larger
posts.
Ii Is important to get thorough and
deep penetration of the c%reosote. A
good vat is made Of an old steel bar
rel set over a roughly constructed
furnace. The creosote Is kept at the
boiling point and each batch of posts
Is left in the vat about two hours, de,
pending on the rapidity of penetra.
+tiOn. One inch penetration should be
obtained. In order to determine this
a post may be split or sawed in two
The tops Of the posts are either dipped
COR painted with hot creoSote. A
farmer having a woodlot may well
spend a few days this winter cutting
posts. Next winter these posts Will
be properly seasoned for creosoting.

5ilage in Ration Will .
Make Big Money Saving

1t has been conclusively proved that
sllage in the ration makes q saving
of considerable money. With dairy
animals the feeding Of silage saves
from 8 to Is cents on the cost of
producing a pound of butter aud from
30 to 80 cents on producing 100
pounds of milk. For beef production
or the %fattening of animals. the saw.
Ing produced by silage is about 81
per 100 pounds gain, though several
experiments show three and four
times this figure. The average OF 81
Is therefore low and conservative,
when we consider the growing of
Young stock, the feeding of dry cows
and h%eifers, the wintering Of work
horses and mules.

292, and for the fifth year 305 pounds.
The last year in the series showed an
average production Of 6S more pounds

THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH
Nd records-what stories they car

I'D recOrdS-What stories they can
~ tell. Sometimes full of romance,
sometimes startling in their disclosures.
1t would seem that WaShingtOn's
birthday, observed for so many years
on February %. was a celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
facts. Yet buried i'll the family Bible
of WaShingtOn's mother and written in
her own handwriting is an entry which
makes one pause with surprise. There
she has clearly recorded the astounding
statement that George Washington
vas born on February II.
Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs.
Washington.
There it is in black and white In
her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Au-
gustine and Mary, his wife, was
bore We 1.-the of February, 1882,
about 10 in the morning. and was
baptised the Sd of April following.
Mr.. Beverley Whiting and Capt.
Christopher Brooks, gOdfathers.
and Mrs. Mildred Gregory. god
mother.
Family Bibles, especially in those
times, were the last WORD in accuracy,
SO this statement must be accepted as
indisputable.
BY the latter part of the Sixteenth
century the calendar year had become
askew with the astronomical year. 1t
seemed important that = reimbursement
be made and Pope Gregory XIII. after
careful consultation with the learned
men of his time, decreed that in 1882
10 days should be dropped and ar
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar. The mandate of
the pope was followed that year by
Spain, Portugal, Italy. and France, but
England would have none of it and
continued on the basis of the old cal
endar for another century and a half.
Difference of Eleven Days.
BY 1852 in England the discrepancy
lad mounted up to IL days, and the
disadvantages of two systems of dates
was causing great annoyance. 1t was
necessary to date letters going from
England or her colonies 10 France with
the days Of both systems; for instance,
February l1-22. SO Mt last TO avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the G~regorian calendar and decreed
that IL days be omitted in the year
1852 between September 3 and Septem-
Der IA.
SO for Washington, his birthday in
1853 and all succeeding years fell on
February %.
But there Is another record which
throws light on what was probably the
first public recognition of his birthday.
This time the record is in his own
handwriting. While commander In
chief Of the Continental armies, with
all his other responsibilities and duties,
Washington found time to keep exact
records Of all his expenses, These ex-
pense accounts were several Years ago
made available by their transferal
from the Treasury department to the
library OF congress where they were
placed with the great collection of
Washington's papexs there.
In one Of We~ishington's daily ex-
pense account books there is an entry.
