It Is Not Wise to Allow Ami
mails All They Want.

In an article calling attention to the
fact that all kinds of live stock need
salt, Prof. e. S. Good, head of the
animal husbandry department of the
Kentucky College Of Agriculture and
experiment station, says that working
horses require about two ounces each
daily. They throw off considerable
salt in perspiration. An idle horse re-
quires only about an ounce daily.
Cows giving milk and steers require
an ounce daily. A sheep does well on
half an ounce daily. while pig re-
quires only about an eighth OF an
ounce. Hogs are often provided salt
In mineral mixtures. The Kentucky
experiment station recommends mix
ture of one part of salt, two parts OF
ground limestone and three parts OF
steam bone meal, all by weight.
Six level teaspoonfuls of barrel salt
weigh about an ounce, which means
that working horse requires dozen
teaspoonfuls of salt daily.
Many farmers find that keeping salt

cemetery was established near every
battlefield and each grave was marked
with temporary headboard giving
the name, rank and name of the or
ganization Of the man buried there.
The company officer was made respon-
sible for this and he was required to
furnish the War department with a
sketch map Of the graves.
In contrast to the small number
the record Of the Civil war Is appall-
ing. There are eighty-three national
cemeteries In this country where are
buried 393,714 Union soldiers. OF this
number the graves of 153,414 are
marked "Unknown!" These totals In
clude those who died In hospitals
where identities would have been
easily established. In the haste with
which the country plunged into the
Civil war no system for Identification
of the killed was adopted. After bat
tie searching parties gathered up the
wounded and buried the dead in hast
fly dug pits. Since this work was
usually done at night, these detach-
ments overlooked many Of the casual
ties. Then the army marched away
leaving these bodies to- keep their
lonely "bivouac of the dead"
After the Civil war was over, the
federal government undertook the
task Of making a systematic search
for the Union dead on many of the
Civil war battlefields. Hundreds of
skeletons were found but there was
no mark of Identification. 1t was
such unknown dead as these who
sleep beneath the memorial in Ar
lington. And they are only few of
tbe unknown there. In 1872 the War
department marked $4,000 graves in
that cemetery with little marble
headstones and of this number 1900
bear the simple word "Unknowni"
rhe Civil war was not the only one
which added to the long roll Of miss
ing men, soldiers who gave their lives
for their country and Of whom no
trace now remains. Their last resting
places. unmarked, are scattered far
and wide over the United States-in
the West, where Indian bullet and
lance took their toll, as well as on
the battlefields Of the South. Memorial

Facts About Liquid and
Dry Copper Preparations

Some interesting facts have recently
appeared In regard to dry and liquid
copper preparations Copper sui
plate and hydrated lime are the ma
terials that make up bordeaux and
which are also the chief ingredients In
the copper-lime dusts. Now copper
sulphate is soluble in water. but when

great vault Of solid masonry, 80
feet deep and 200 feet square, In
which are stacked the humble pine
wood collins containing the bones Of
the soldiers. Nor are these the only
unknown dead in Arlington. 1t was
before this monument that the first
formal Memorial Day exercises-al-
though the day had not yet been thus
officially designated-were held on

famous General Orders No. IL, is

War in Its very nature Is a trag-
edy, but saddest of all things con-
nected with war is the tragedy of the
unknown dead. For some soldiers
war means moments of exaltation in
the knowledge of a sacrifice worth
while, of heroism which will send his
name ringing down the years and Of
tender care Of the poor shell of his
body after the spirit has fed. But to
others 1t means privation, pain, the
same exaltation, the same heroism

Of human wreckage was consigned

Considering the vast armies which
the United States put into the field
in the World war, there was sur
prisingly small number of unknown
dead. OF approximately 10000 Amer
leans killed in that conflict only A.
600 were listed as unknown" at the
time the body Of one of them was

ors to be buried in Arlington as 1.-THE

persistent investigation has cut down
the number until now the War de-
partment reports something over l.
600 still listed as unidentified.
The reason for the smallness of
the list Of unknown dead In this war
lies in the simple little aluminium
identification tags which each man In
the A. e. F. wore. Two of these tags,
each about the size of silver half
dollar, were worn around the neck,
one suspended from the other. On
each of these was stamped, In the

Renovate Old Pastures
to Aid Carving Power

Not one farmer in hundred makes
any effort to increase the carrying
power Of old blue grass pasture And
yet experiments at Ames (Iowa Agri-
cultural college) have proved be-
yond much question that it pays to
disk up hide-bound blue grass pasture
and broadcast and harrow In on each
acre some such seeding per acre as a
couple pounds of alsike, pound of
red clover and three pounds of scarf
fed sweet clover. An application of
100 pounds per acre of acid phosphate
also helps but the cheapest results
are obtained with merely disking and
reseeding with clover mixture.

Cilicia Ranked High

Cilicia was the name of maritime
province in the southern part of Asia
Minor. 1t lay between the Mediter-
ranean sea and Syria, and through 1t
ran the great highway from Syria to
the coast. This gave Cilicia great
commercial Importance during several
centuries when 1t was part of the
Roman empire, as were the adjacent
districts Of Pamphylia, Lycaonia and
Cappadocia. The principal city of
