WHERE IS GREAT WAR SONG?

Strange That the Present Struggle Has Not Produced a Soul-Stirring Melody. It Is strange that the war should not yet have produced, among any of the nations concerned, a genuine war song, like the "Marseillaise" of the French Revolution, or the "Marching Through Georgia" or "John Brown's Body" of the American Civil war. We associate "Tlpperary" with the war, but -"Tlpperary" was already in exis tence in August, 1014, and it Is only by the accident of date that our men did not march to Möns singing "Dixie" or "You Made Me Love You." Now has arisen to take its place. For this purpose the home-grown ballad does not count In the least. Of course, a great deal of topical doggerel has come from the trenches and some admirable poetry, but the real song of the war has yet to be evolved. What is it that the men at tho front sing In the meantime? The correspondents do not say much on tho point, but we heard of the Highlanders coming out of action the other day singing the lines: I lo'o nac ladtllo but nne. And ho lo'cs nao lassie but me. What are the rest of them?--London Observer. BAY RUM IS OUT OF VOGUE Witch Hazel Now Is the Popular Lotion in Barber Shops in This Country. For many years bay rum -was used In all barber shops as a soothing lotion following the shave. It was also used as a sort of dryer after the shampoo and caused many to writhe in the chair when applied after a good massage. Despite these facts, it continued to be the kingpin of all applications. Several years ago an enterprising individual, knowing the properties of witch hazel, began to advertise this liquid as a substitute for bay rum, telling of the fact that witch hazel had the same qualities as bay rum and was much easier to "take." The customers of the various barber shops read the advertisement, and so did the barbers. The result was that nine out of ten of the patrons of barber shops asked for witch hazel instead of bay riim, and the latter commodity rapidly sank into oblivion. Today, according to the managers of barber shops In big hotels and elsewhere, witch hazel is much more popular than bay rum. How Rainfall Affects Radium. One of the most elaborate invostign tions of tho relation between the amount of radium emanation in the atmosphere and weather conditions is that recently carried out by Messrs. .T. It. Wright and 0. F. Smith at Manila, the observations extending: over a pe riod of about 13 months. The effect of weather conditions upon the rate at , which radium emanation is exhaled frem the ground and the relation of the rate of exhalation to the radioactivity of soil gas at different depths were also investigated. Rainfall and wind movement seem to bo the principal meteorological con. trols, the -amount of emanation in the air being greatest when these factors are at a minimum, and vice versa. A decided diurnal variation is found to exist, the emanation content being considerably greater by night than by day. Counting Birds. The United States biological survey is now making its third annual count of birds, with the aid of volunteer enumerators all ever the country. Each enumerator undertakes to count the number of breeding pairs of each species found on a selected area of forty to eighty acres, and the count actually consists in an enumeration of the male birds found in the course of a few early morning recomioissanees, From the figures thus obtained, the Scientific American explains, estimates are made of the bird population in the various sections of the country. This year the survey is making a special effort to secure statistics from the semiarid desert and mountain regions of the West, and also from the fruit districts of the Pacific coast and the South Atlantic and Gulf states. Footnote Was Costly. AYhilo sorting the daily avalanche of parcel post mail, attaches of the Pittsburgh post office encountered a too of an artificial leg and laid the packago aside for rewrapping. Presently, tho foot came out of its wrapper. The following inscription, penciled on the cork sole, leered tauntingly at the postal man : "Just a feotnele: Before repairing please use an anesthetic." The ten words automatically transformed one artificial leg, fourth-class merchandise traveling through the mails for 15 cents, into first class-mail, 'ailing for letter postage. The leg later in the day reached its destination, an artificial limb repairer, looking like a page fim n stamp collector's book, and 2.62 due. Plan New Sea Canal. Amsterdam papers are dlscussi the advisability of enlarging and deepening the North sea canal and dispensing with the lo:ks at Ymuiden, thus giving a free waterway without locks from the North sea to Amsterdam. Only by doing this, it is said, can Amsterdam hope to check the steady inrouds on her trade made by the rapidly progressing port of Rotterdam, which has sea-level canal connections.

PROFIT IN SHETLANDS

Increasing Demand for Sturdy Little Fellows. Smallest Animals Bring Best Price, Consequently No Effort Should Be Made to Increase Size Take Care of Themselves. There is noticeable an Increasing de mand for Shetland ponies and tho rais ing of the little fellows proves exceedingly profitable. The smallest animals bring the best prices, consequently no effort should be made to Increase the size of the breed; the animals should not bo too tenderly cared for, should not be housed too tight or fed very Splendid Saddle Pony. heartily. Only a trilling amount of grain is favored for them, and shredded fodder is advised. Shetland mares are remarkably prolific, are bred regularly every year. The colts are naturally hardy, the ponies are seldom sickly. They are ready for any ordinary work at two and a half years. C. A. Waugh, writing in Country Life, says: "Mature Shetlands sell all the way from $75 upward, with the bulk of the animals going at $125. At the latter figure there is a clear profit of $90 in the transaction for the breeder. Besides, if he produces his own feed, he has received full market value for it, and at the same time has fed It out at a cost much less than that of delivering to the local market. In addition the feed has produced the same proportionate amount of manure that it would produce 'were i'. fed to any other animal on the farm." In winter only a rough shelter is needed for the sturdy creature. The Shetland has a heavier coat of hair than any other domesticated animal; Handy Team Around Farm. at least ten months out of the twelve he can run out, and "the stormiest weather will find him with his back to the storm, digging in the snow." He practically takes care of himself. In looking over the list of members of the American Shetland Pony club it is of interest to observe how many women are enrolled, and that a number of the pony farms represented are owned and managed by women. TIME FOR CUTTING TIMOTHY Most Palatable and Nutritious if Harvested Just Before Ripe, Says Missouri Station. Timothy hay to make the most palatable and most nutritious feed should be cut before ripe. Investigations made at the Missouri experiment station showed that timothy cut during the period from blossoming time to the shedding of the bloom was preferred by cattle to riper hay and that they received more nutrition from it. It is usually the custom to harvest the timothy crop when it is nearly or quite ripe, but the above mentioned investigation would go to prove that earlier harvesting would be more advantageous. TEACHING THE COLT TO EAT Young Animal Should Be Encouraged to Nibble at Crushed Oats and Bran in Equal Parts. Encourage the colt to eat early, preferablj feeding crushed oats and bran in etaal parts. Let him have alfalfa and clover hay as sodn as he will eat it. Experience shows that a' ration of corn and alfalfa gives better results than a ration of corn and timothy or prairie hay. OBTAIN BEST MILK RESULTS Cow Should Net Be Milked Hurriedly at One Time and Then Quite Slowly at Another. To obtain the best results the cows should not be milked hurriedly one time and then quite slowly at another. Neither should milking be stopped every few minutes. After the How is started the milking should be steady until finished.

f THINGS TO REMEMBER IN 1 C0NTRUCTI0N OF SILO The walls must be airtight. The walls must be smooth inside. The best type of silo is round. The roof should be waterproof. The materials out of which the silo is built should be strong enough to withstand great pressure. The costshould be from 2 to $5 per ton capacity if the total capacity is to exceed 100 tons. A silo should be placed as near as possible to the place i where the silage Is to be fed. i One hundred tons of silage i will feed 25 head of stock for 5 200 days. A silo 14 feet in diameter and 35 feet high will hold 100 tons of silage. Any kind of good silo is a valuable piece of property on the farm where live stock is to be fed. i Avuwunvwvumvuvj TREATING WOUNDS OF STOCK Disinfectant of Some Kind Should Be Handy in Every Barn Potassium Permanganate Is Good. There should be in every barn a quantity of disinfectant that may be readily mixed with water and used in the cases of wounds sustained by any of the stock. Potassium permanganate Is excellent, and can be purchased at any drug store in powder förm and used in water in amounts such as will color the water a light red. It has the advantage over many antiseptics of not irritating a wound. But any of the commercial antiseptics will keep a wound free from infection if used early, and the formation of large running sores will thus be prevented. A scratch or wound small as it may be at first may quickly become infect ed and then it will not heai until the infection has been freed from the germs that are causing the trouble. But if treatment is begun at once the trouble can usually be prevented by bathing two or three times a day with an antiseptic solution which will keep the wound clean so that it will rapidly heal. The host home treatment of old sores is to bathe them two or three times a day with hydrogen peroxide and syringe them out with warm water followed by a small quantity of the same antiseptic. BUILD THE FENCE PROPERLY Absolutely Necessary to Construct It Well in Order to Secure Maximum Amount of Service. To get the maximum of service out of a fence it is absolutely necessary that it should be well built. The corner posts must be placed solidly in the ground in such a manner that they cannot bo heaved by frost or drawn loose by the pull of the fence. The fabric should be strung tightly to the end posts, but it ought not to be tightly stapled to tho line posts. It should be fastened to line posts in such manner that the wires may move in a horizontal direction to take care of the contraction and expansion due to changes in temperature, and to distribute the force of a blow along the fence line so that the strain will not come entirely on any one or two posts or any one point of the wire. A barbed wire should be placed a short distance above the top of the woven wire to prevent cattle and horses from crowding it down when reaching over or rubbing against the fence. NOVEL BUG-SWATTING DEVICE Pump Attached to Cultivator Throws Liquid or Powder Onto Plants, Killing Insects. Keep swatting the bugs if your profits are to be all that seed, soil and attention should combine to make tlu?m on your farm. Two Texas men have recently patented the bug-swatting attachment for cultivators shown Insect Destroyer. here. A pump connects between the reservoir and the wheel, so that the turning of the wheels as the cultivator is drawn through the field pumps the liquid or powder onto the plants below to destroy bugs. Farming Business. IMPROVEMENT OF-THE SOILS Lime and Phosphorus Play Important Part in Operation of Vegetable Garden as Elsewhere. Vegetable growers should be just as much interested in economic soil improvement as any other class of farmers. They should realize that lime and phosphorus play just as important a part in their operations as they do In the production of general farm crops. i This is especially true wherever ths less productive soils are found.

On the books of the 22 universities of the German empire there was an enrollment during the last half-year of 53,800 students, against 52,500 in the first winter of the war, and 01,200 in the last halfyear before the war. All students serving in the army have continued their connection with the university, and of the 43,800 carried on the books of the university last winter there were 43.000 in the ranks of the soldiers, or 82 per cent. Of the total enrollment 4.S00 wer women and 1,400 were foreigners.
