THE HIGHWAY TO INDIA

A little north of latitude "a, d natural

edge of the tran-lndus plain to an
open spot at Landi Khana on the Dor

the Khyber pass.
Until the advent of sea power this
historic highway constituted practi-
caIly the only channel through which
could enter the many influences which
have played so large part in shaping
the destinies of India. II provided
the main inlet through which flowed
root in the fertile soil of the Ganges
valley and gave TO the world the rich
gift of Indian Thought and civilization.
Many centuries later, though still
300 years before the Christian era, d

as in our western civilization, by tele-
graphs, newspapers, books, telephones,
movies and wireless. To comprehend
a country even slightly, you must visit

per cent of Americans have had the
advantage of seeing India. II is not
surprising, therefore. that we have the
habit of speaking as if it were coun-
try like France or Italy, instead of
continent or combination of countries
like Europe.
We are apt to forget that India has
population of 3200OO.000. composed
of different races, speaking different
languages and practicing different re-
ligionS. We also forget the far-reach-
ing results of caste, social or class
system under which every Hindu is
born into group which for life de-
fines his occupation. method of living
and even marriage limitations. There
are 2.4OU Hindu castles in India, and
il is difficult to realize thar 7O,0O0,0OU
HinduS out of a total of 32O.0OO.WW
are looked upon by the castles which
are above them as 'untouchables" or
outcasts.
Thousands OF years ago when the
cOnquering AryanS descended from the
North and became rulers and masters
of India, they formed higher civil
cation than the dark. hickfeatured
aborigines, and to preserve their own
purity of race, decided to exclude the
earlier race from their more intimate
social settlements. Thus originated
this body of "untouchableS." Touch
ing them, or even coming into remote
contact with them, involves the high
caste Hindus in ceremonial defilement.
Ii is interesting to note that in re-
cent utterance the spokesman of these
70.0O0,00O people declared himself en-
tirely opposed to the policy of Mahat-
ma Gandhi. the instigator of the
movement of passive resistance In

tinct families of speech. That is India
from the point of view of the statis-
tician.
Statistics usually are dull and COM
monplace things, but at least in the
case of India we may say that they
are startling. If their meaning is to
be grasped we must clOthe them with
flesh and blood This can only be
done by hard and extensive travelling

Close Culling Urged
by Michigan College

A per cent increase in the total
number of milk cows in the United
States and a per cent increase in
the number of heifers forms the basis
for cautionng against any further in
crease in the number of dairy cattle
until REIMBURSEMENT of the market
for dairy products has taken place,
says the outlook bulletin of Michigan
State college
Poultry owners are also warned by
the same publication to consider the
probability that the poultry industry
is now on the second year of a four
year cycle of price depression. Lower
prices for poultry meats are expected
for at least the first six months of
1880.
A continuation Of favorable cOndi-
tiOns for producers of beef cattle is
predicted in the outlook, but the mar
keting of the animals as baby beef is
advised. Cattle feeders of the state
are advised To use caution during the
next few years.

FARM EACTI>:

Ewes and lambs should be changed
to fresh pasture every two weeks II
possible.
The longer that a good permanent
pasture can be maintained, the cheap
er will he the cost.
Superphosphate is equally well
adapted for use on the dropping
boards of the poultry house as in the
cutters of the dairy barn.
Roup or colds in poultry is generally
a result of overcrowding, poor housing
or ventilation, or lack of vitality due
to poor feeding during the growing
season, or worms.
Small filters per sow and few pigs
raised to market weight make pork
production rather costly. The remedy
is breeding stock that will produce
large filters and good systems of feed
and management.
The mash hopper should not be so
constructed that it sits on the floor
so litter can be scratched into it.
For years sweet clover was called
a weed. Now farmers are finding it
one of the most valuable legumes.

Entomologists Successful in

(Prepared by the United states Department

Whoever would think of trying TO

plying cube root AS a matter of fact
that is exactly what federal entOmOl-
Ogists did try-and with gratifying
success. The cube root, however, has
no relation to the mathematical proc
ess familiar to high school students.
Even the pronunciation is different,
and "cube" is divided into two syl-
lables-coO-b ay-and the root is the
root of a South American plant which
is now considered highly promising
source of insect pois0ns. The poi

No Great Advantage in
Feeding Cracked Grain

From the standpoint of digestion.
there is no particular advantage in
feeding cracked corn to birds that can
consume whole corn. However. it is
instructive for fowls to pick up the
larger particles of grain ration first
Therefore, in feeding grain mixture
of wheat and corn. for example. when
the corn grains are whole there is
tendency on the part of the fast eat
ers TO pick out the corn and as a
result do not always get sufficient
wheat grains TO balance the diet. On
the other hand, he slow eaters are
forced to finish their meal on wheat
and also receive an unbalanced diet.
When corn grains are cracked there is
no tendency TO make meal on one
grain alone.

Sweating Occurs When the
Tubers Are Newly Dug.

Piling potatoes in huge heaps on the
floor of warm barn, just after they
have been dug, is expensive business.
So one grower near Columbus found
when an extension specialist from the
Ohio State university examined his
tuberS. His potatoes had been dug,
hauled to the barn, and put into a
pile approximately II feet long, feet
wide and Z feet deep. The pile con-
tanned several hundred bushels of po-
-tatOes and heavy percentage of
them were rOtting.
Cuts and bruises on the potatoes,
suffered as they were harvested. were
in part responsible for the develop
menf Of the rot, the specialist found.
And the action of the bacteria caus-
ing. decomposition was being hurried
by moisture on the potatoes, which as
sisted the growth of the bacteria and
also gave them opportunity to travel
from potato to potato.

Hobo Insects Dispersed
by Empty Freight Cars

Insect pests have been caught steal
ing rides in empty freight cars by
workers in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. careful study
of several cars which had been used
for shipping alfalfa hay revealed the
fact that 10 per cent of the alfalfa
weevils in the hay remain alive dur
ing a five-day trip and 40 per cent of
them stand the rigors of three-day
trip.
A check on the movement of freight
cars has shown that they often ap-
pear in widely separated parts of the
country in remarkably short time.
II is believed that many insect pests
other than the alfalfa weevil are dis
persed over the country in this way.

Horses Need Grain

Work horses and mules should be
well fed and properly cared for dur.
ing the busy season. These animals
cannon do their best and keep in con
diton for regular work unless they are
given the right kind of feed. Liberal
grain feeding and bright clean hay are
necessary. Feeding too little grain
and TOO much rOughage means work
animals that are short winded and
lack endurance.
