genius that the world owes the
acquaintance it previously has
had with the great stone
effigy. A short story by Ma
thaniel Hawthorne. published
In 1842, has carried its name
wherever the English language
is used. The author was a
native Of Salem, Mass. born
July 4, 1904. Educated at
Bowdoin College in Maine. he
became a voice for all the
Northeast portion of the
United States while yet a
young man. From his home
in the Old Manse at Concord
and later from his home in his
native town and from various
cities in Europe to which he
went in the service Of his coun-
try there came such classics as
'Twice-Told Tales "A Wonder

Moses From an Old Manse,'
The Scarlet Letter, The House
of Seven Cables The Blithe-
dale Romance and The Marble

each still worth reading.

point in most pictures because
the eyes have unusual beauty
and serenity. To quote: ''You
know, they have almost q mes
Laerizing quality: The ageless
calm in q cats eyes sort Of
reaches out to you and en-
yelopes you, too"
The eye appeal Of cats Is
stressed In many Of the Spies
photographs. Two notable
examples come to mind. One
shows q cat peering with per-
fectiy round eyes from around
4 door. Another shows the
yellow glowing eyes Of the cat
staring out from the semi
darkness of q refuge in tree.

are portraits, scenes Of the
animals at play and in repose,
as well as connected series of
shots. He has now completed
o l35-picture story book en-
titled, "Jigger and Her Kit
tens" which Is being consid-
cred for publication.
Asked for a few tips on how
to make cat pictures, DR.. Spies
stressed the importance Of
creating q happy mood in the
subject.
This can be done by offer
ing choice morsels Of food or
catnip or by getting the ami
NAL in a playful mood with a
favorite toy or ball of string.
He specified flash as prefer
able to the heat and distract-
ing glare Of 1loodlamps II the

He emphasized the import
ance of obtaining good fur
texture and detail by using q
cross lighting and by stopping
down the lens as far rs pos
sible in q given situation.
He recommended the use of
glossy paper to bring out the
fine detail of the animals coat,
which might be partially lost
If matte or semimatte paper
were used for making prints.

N. H., Tuesday. may result in
the authorization Of a stamp
in tribute to Nathaniel Haw-

Great Stone Face famous.
This was indicated Friday,
when Senator Styles Bridges
Of New Hampshire announced
to Congress his intention to
introduce a joint resolution
calling for such an issue. The
Senator said: "On Tuesday
next at Franconia a postage
stamp will be placed in service

phenomenon of native rock 80

the Old Man Of the Mountains.
Perhaps this monumental

According to DR.. Spies it
takes an understanding Of cat

cats cannot be argued into
posing, they do have q sense

that picture taking is q worth

Norva Notes, official publi-
cation of the Northern Vir-
ginia Stamp Club, says: "The
design approved for the 500
Locks commemorative is an
other example of the unin-
spired art work that has
characterized the commemo-
ratives which come out Of the
Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. With so many
subjects from which to pro-
duce truly beautiful stamps,
the Bureau seems to go out
of it's way to pick mediocre
SUBJECTS" But the artists Of
the Bureau really are innocent
of fault. They do the best they
can with the deplorable ma
terial given them by the Post
Office Department which in
turn is maneuvered into all
manner of horrible mistakes
by selfish and often stupid
suppliants for favor. The ugly
Ohio sticker Of 1858, for ex-
ample, was almost literally
forced on both the Post Office
Department and the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing - in
the face Of protests on the
part Of many collectors.

is CHOPPING ALFALFA
HAY A PAYING
PROPOSITION?

AS we have received several
comments on a controversial item
in the column a few weeks ago
entitled, mo Advantage to Grind
Good Hay" an explanation is no
doubt in order which influences
our thinking on this subject.
Generally speaking we feel that
it does not pay to grind or chop
hay especially for fattening live
stock or for dairy cattle when the
price of hay is reasonable and in
adequate supply. There are ex-
ceptions to this, however, as chop
ped hay may facilitate the use
of mechanical equipment which
may greatly save time and labor.
Also when special mixtures of
feeds are being produced chopped
hay can be more easily blended
with other feeds.
A sizeable amount Of expert
mental work has been done on the
value of feeding chopped hay to
livestock and its results. It has
been proven experimentally that
chopping does not change the nu-
tritive value of hay. Chopping
The Sidney herald., 1955-02-03

can, however, lower the quality
of the hay consumed. This is how
it works. Animals are ~seIective in
their tastes and if plenty of low
or good quality hay is put before
them they will choose and eat
only the best parts - the parts
highest in total digestable nu-
trients. If the hay is chopped they
will eat it all thereby greatly re-
ducing the percentage of total di-
gestable nutrients. Let's consider
Homogenized milk, for a compar-
ison. You don't change the nutri-
tive value of milk by homogeniz-
ing it. Still, wouldn't milk that
has had some of the skim removed
be higher in value than the ho-
mogenized milk that can no long
er be separated. Chopping is some
what like homogenizing in that
the ''skim" or less nutritious parts
of the hay can no longer be 'sep-
Grated" by the animal. You may
hear the argument, as we have
that the stems contain the nutri-
entS and not the leaf. According tc
experimental analysis the leaves
contain 17.4% digestible protein
compared to only 5.2% found in
the stems. The leaves contained
57.9% total digestable nutrients
whereas the stems contained only
41.7%. The study pointed out thai
the stems compare very favorably
in total digestable nutrients to oat
hay. If the animals r on a main
tainance ration they can utilize
to good advantage the stemmy
portion but for animals on a fat
tening or milk producing ration
you can't afford to fill them up or
a feed that is no higher in value
