most successful in It's existence. Dur

COWS AND HEIFERS
FED SPROUTED OATS

(Prspared By the United States Department
OF Agriculture
Six virgin dairy heifers that had
failed to get with calf after being re-
peatediy served By. different sires at
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture dairy experiment farm, Belts
Vile, Md. were fed sprohted oats In
an effort to correct their barren con

charge OF the experiment, Eve OF the
SIX heifers were settled in calf after
30 days OF this special feeding. six
dairy cows that had raised calves but
had apparently become unable 10 con-
ceive were fed sprouted oats also with
the result that five Of them got With
calf after 10 to 4S days Of feeding.
Similar tests made at the Oregon ex-
pertinent station upon the suggestion
OF Mr.. Graves gave equally favorable
results.
Feeding sprouted oats to overcome
noncOncepdOn In dairy heifers anu
cows was suggested to Mr.. Graves by
a study of the work done with small
animals at the University of Califor-
MA IN Which II was discovered that a
fifth vitamin had bearing on the fer
tiiity and reproductive organs. This
vitamin, named yitamin E, was found
in such feeds as green leaves Of let
tuce and alfalfa
Whether or not the fertility results
obtained in heifers and cows fed
sprouted oats is due to a vitamin has
not been determined, nor have enough
trials been made to conclude definite
ly that the method will always give
positive results. Mr.. Graves points
out that animals Ia their undomesti-
Gated state have breeding season
closely allied with the spring flush OF
new grass; and that under modern
of management cows and
heIfers are bred at all times of the
year. Many Of the cases of nonbreed-
ng may be due to functional disor-
iers brought about By a high state Of
I'm which the natural
breeding season is ignored. The ben
.fcial effects of sprouted oats may be
lue to a stimulation of natural dietary
at the normal breeding sea-
on.

Registered Dairy Bulls
Found Most Profitable

Heifer calves from common cows.
sired by a registered bull, VIII pro-
duce so per cent more milk than the
old cows and the second generation
heifers, sired by registered bull, will
produce fully 70 per cent more milk
and fat than the original common
cows. This is not theory but fact
that has been demonstrated at the
experiment station at Ames, as we'll
as at other similar institutions and
on farms where work Of this sort has
been carried on.
Registered dairy bulls can be Sc
cured at very reasonable figures and
those who are in the dairy business
are losing a great opportunity If they
do not take advantage OF getting reg
istered sires for their herds. Intelli-
gent dairylng Is profitable; hit-and-
miss dairying, without constructive
plan back of 1t, Is certain to lead to
Encouragement and ultimate failure.

The Skyscraper

Plans were drawn not long ago,
states THE Mentor, for the erection
of a skyscraper on a historic site in
New York City. The plot, in lower
Broadway, Is memorable not for any
event in Indian or Colonial days but
because there, in 1883. the first build
ing of any considerable height was
built with a steel skeleton frame. If
such a method of construction had
not been proved practicable, the sky
scraper as we have it today probably
never would have come into being,
and the silhouc'A@ Of American
cities would have been radically diff
ferent.
The first structure, the grandfather
of all the towers and piles and. step
backs, was a laughing stock when 1t
was put up. SkepticS called it a
house of cards, and walked around
the block rather than pass close to it,
Tor fear 1T would fall down on them.
Through all history man had relied
on solid walls to hold a building to-
gether, and here was a startling new
conception of steel bones on which
the facing was entirely secondary.
The date and place Of the first use
of steel frame are disputed. Ac-
cording to some, the type is nearing
its f1ftieth birthday, structure on
this principle having been designed
by a Chicago architect in the late
1S70's, and erected in Indianapolis.
That, however, was of only four
stories, while the specimen of 1883
in New York had eleven stories and
basement.
1t was known as the Tower Build
ing and was at so Broadway, running
through to 41-43 New street. The
width ON Broadway was only twenty
one feet and three inches. The
owner was John Noble Stearns, a silk
merchant. Bradford L. Gilbert was
the architect.
SteePs resistance to wind pressure
was not as well understood then as Il
is now when every stable city in
North America has its tall buildings.
SO numerous were the predictions of
disaster that the architect, declaring
he was ready to stake his life on the
plan, took the topmost story for his
Office He stayed there for twenty

I FREDERICK lAlEslEI

AN AMERICAN farmer from the
old Bay State has been selected
for the task of transplanting Amer
Iican methods of agriculture to the
tancient Island of SYRIA, in the Med
!iterrean, one OF the many spots
in the Near East that was the
scene of the wanderings of Ulysses.
The American is Frederick Mid
lgley. Of Worcester, Massachusetts,,
who turned over his productive
truck garden near that city to his
four sons and left with his wife on
a mission for the Near East Relief.
He has been made director of the
school of agriculture at the Wood
row Wilson Memorial on SYRIA.
This institution shelters and trains
for a life of self supporting useful
ness. more than 1000 Greek and
Armenian war orphans who are the
wards of the Near East Relief.
The plan to teach Young Amer
teas methods to the Old Levant
comes as the result of the studies
made by DR.. o. Z. Morgan, of the
department of agriculture at Col
umbia University. DR.. Morgan
spent his "sabbatical year" study
ing the needs of that part Of the
