FOREMOST among the names which

history Is one of the most interesting
In Feminine nomenclature.
There are numerous explanations of
its origin. Some etymologlsts claim
that 1t came originally from the Irish
Finnghuala (white shoulders) which,
though softened to Fenella, was later
translated into Penelope. 1t is to this
that we owe the numerous Penelopes
of England, beginning with the Irish
Penelope Devereux with whom is con.
nected the one shade on Sidney's char
acter.
The more common explanation of
Penelope connects her with Ulysses
faithful queen who sat day after day
before her loom while the hero of the
odyssey" wandered the seven seas.
This explanation makes Penelope a
weaver in truth; another account
claims that she had been exposed as
an infant and owed her life to n
kind of duck whom the Greeks called
penelops.
The carnelian is Penelope's tails
manic stone. 1t is the gem of faithful
ness and of trusting, loving heart.

come to her when she wears this
stone Tuesday is her lucky day and

CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
THE GoLDENRoD

IN NEW ENGLAND, and perhaps in
other parts of the country, gall
from the stem of goldenrod Caused
by the sting of an insect) is called a
"rheumaty-hud." Each gall contains
small white grub and the belief is
that as long as the grub remains alive
one who carries the gall in his pocket
Will befree from rheumatism.
The efficacy of this cure-or rather
preventive-is based upon the fact
that the flower of the plant from which
the gall is picked is of a bright gold
en- color-the color of the sun and
therefore connected with the sun-god
Apollo. Apollo did not exactly repre-
sent the sun itself but rather the light
and life-giving influences of the sun.
And also he was a great protector"
The part which the grub in the gall
plays in this piece of folk-medicine
is based upon an idea of primitive man
concerning the grubs and maggots
which appeared in the gals of trees
and plants and in decaying animal
matter. They were supposed to be in
peculiar manner an embodiment of
the spirit of the substance in which
they were engendered-to have sprung
from and been created by the vital es-
sence of that substance. In the GUS
toms of many savage tribes today this
primitive idea is found surviving in
full force with regard to the worms
found in dead bodies and gives rise
to disgusting rites by which the liv-
ing seek to acquire the courage, or
other desirable qualities of the dead.

SOY BEANS FED TO
PIGS ON PASTURE

Soy beans as supplement for corn
fed to pigs on pasture compared ia
vorably with tankage, especially when
minerals were fed, in experiments con-
Quoted recently at the Indiana station.
With pigs on alfalfa or clover pasture,
and with corn at "a cents a bushel and
tankage at $50 per ton, the soy beans
have been worth $1.48 per bushel with
out mineral and $1.91 per bushel when
minerals were fed, according to G. M.
Vestal, who had charge of the tests.
In the tests which have been carried
on during the past three summers pigs
weighing about 20 pounds were self
alfalfa pasture to market weights of
slightly above 200 pounds. On q
ration of corn and soy beans the pigs
gained 1.5 pounds per head daily and
consumed 318 pounds of corn and 43
pounds of soy beans for every 100
pounds of gain. When mineral mix
ture of ten parts acid phosphate and
one part salt was added to the corn
and soy beans the gains were in
creased to 1872 and the feed consumed
per 100 pounds gain was 325 pounds of
corn, &c pounds of beans and pounds
pasture the pigs gained at the rate of
1.65 pounds and took 332 pounds of
corn and 26 pounds of tankage for 100
pounds of gain. The 26 pounds of
beans and 6 pounds Of minerals thus
replaced 26 pounds of tankage and z
pounds of corn without reducing the
gains to any appreciate extent.
When the same ratiOns were fed to
similar pigs in the dry lot the beans
were less valuable than on pasture but
were still rather good substitute for
tankage when mineral was fed. On
corn and soy beans alone the pigs
gained 1.3 pounds daily and required
3O4 pounds of corn and SO pounds of
beans. The addition of minerals in
creased the gains to 1.52 pounds daily
with consumption per 100 pounds of
gain of 81 pounds of corn, SO pounds
of beans and Z pounds of minerals. On
corn and tankage the pigs gained at
the rate of 1.61 pounds and took 342
pounds of corn and 33 pounds Of tank
age. In the dry lot, it will be noted.
the soy-bean consumption was consid-
erably higher proportionately than the
tankage consumption when both are
compared with the corresponding con-
sumptions in the pasture tests. In the
dry lot soy beans and minerals and
tankage made pork at about the same
costs, while on pasture the costs of
the soy beans-mineral gains were
about 80 cents less per hundred pounds
than when tankage was fed. Appar-
emily beans, assisted by a good min
eral mixture, can be profitably used
for pigs running on good pasture
Other recent feeding tests at the In
diana station show. clearly that fatten-
ing hogs will eat whole soy beans as
readily as ground soy beans. In one
test gains made by pigs fed the two
kinds of beans were identical, while In
another whole beans produced slightly
larger gains. In both tests less corn
but more beans we're required by the
pigs fed whole beans In costs of gains
the pigs fed the unground beans had
a slight advantage.

In man there are twice as many
varieties of parasites as in any other

OF the parasites in human beings
there are more than fifty varieties

Three-quarters of the human para
