Sweden Plans Aid
for Its Inventors

Stockholm.-The Swedish Invention
corporation, formed here for testing
and marketing new Swedish inven-
tons, has now announced it's working
program. which offers several points
of interest.
Inventions submitted to the company
will first be thoroughly tested by a
staff of experts, among whom are no
less than four Nobel prize winners.
If the experts declare an invention
worth supporting the company will
help the inventor to get it practically
exploited. financed and launched on
the world market.
The directors of the company have
undertaken to create a fund for the
support of poor Swedish inventors by
alloting a certain part of the COM
pany's profits for that purpose.
At a conference just held by the
company with it's staff of experts Thor
Thoernblad, the managing director of
the concern. announced that alreadr
hundreds of new inventions have beel
submitted to the firm, several of which
are of great value.

DAIRY COW NEEDS

prepared by the United States Department
of MISUNDERSTANDING Service
Dairymen who want the most milk
and butterfat from their cows should
arrange to LEI them drink as much
water as they want when they want
it. says I. Il. Woodward. of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Mr.. Woodward who Is senior dairy
husbandman in the bureau OF dairy in
uustry, has completed experiments to
determine the relation of methods of
watering dairy cows to their water
consumption and production. The
tests were run both in warm and cold
weather and included both hgh-prO-
ducing and producing cows The
results of watering twice a day and
once a day were compared with re-
suits obtained when the cows had free
access to water.
In these tests, according TO Mr.
Woodward, the cows drank more wa
fer when watered only twice day
than when they had water at will or
when watered only once a day bU:
their production was highest when
they had water at will. The produc-
ton of the cows in this experiment
averaged % per cent more milk and
81 per cent more butterfat when given
free access TO water than when wa
tered only twice day; and when wa
tered twice day they produced | per
cent more milk and Ia per cent more
butterfat than when watered only
once a day.
Mr.. Woodward also reports that the
increase in milk production as result
of more frequent watering was more
marked in the case of the good pro-
ducers than in the case of the low pro-
ducers. He concludes: "From these
experiments it appears that water AT
will is the most desirable method of
watering all dairy cows Free access
to water is more advantageous in
warm weather than in cold weather
and also more advantageous to high
producing cows than to low-producing
cows"

Lesson for Mankind in
Bees Trick on MIR. Bear

This happened long, long ago even
before the first Indians broke the
trails along the Mohawk and the Gen.
esee. In those times, Mr.. Bear had
a long, long nose and reputation of
putting it in everybody's business be-
sides his own. according TO this IA
BILE related by DR.. e. A. Bates of
Cornell university.
One of his most evil deeds was
stealing the bees honey. This made
the bees very angry and finally they
held big council about the matter.
After due .deliberation, they sent a
courier bee to bring in their friend,
the woodpecker. In a common coun-
Gil, the bees and the wOodpecker de-
vised scheme 10 trap the wicked
bear and stop him from stealing the
honey.
They selected a tree trunk that
was hollow from the top to the
ground and the woodpecker cut a
hole in its side. just the size of the
bears nose. The bees smeared honey
all around the hole and then all
secreted themselves within the hol-
low tree trunk.
Along came the wicked old Mr..
Bear with his long nose shifting in
the air. At length. he smelled the
honey and stuck his nose in the hole,
whereupon the bees jumped on it and
cut it right off short, as it is today
The bees and the woodpecker learned
the value of common council. which
they taught the red man; and Indian
children are told to keep their noses
out of other folks affairs by seeing
what happened to old Mr.. Bears
long nose many, many moons ago.

New System of Feeding
Given Test in Canada

A system of feeding cows in milk
that had its origin in England is TO
limit the total bulk fed TO cows. To
do this, heavy producing cows should
be fed a great deal of grain and
silage and roots have to he left our
This system was tested at the Ontario
Agricultural college The feed was
limited TO three pounds daily for each
100 pounds of the animals weight
Grain was fed at the rate of 31s
pounds for each 10 pounds of milk pro-
duced. Also the meal was a % per
cent protein mixture. A 1.2O0-pound
COW, therefore. would get 90 pounds
of feed daily. If she produced 60
pounds of milk her ration would con-
sist of q pounds of grain and IL

milk she would be fed IA pounds of

that "this work has not been carried
on long enough TO give verv definite
observations as yet. We were. how
ever. able to produce 100 pounds of
milk during the summer for every q

for high producing cows. this system
of feeding is quite satisfactory but il
