Livestock Marketing By Farmers

According to Lee R. Highlen director of livestock marketing Indiana Farm Bureau federation the farmerowned commission firm at Indianapolis handled 36 per cent of all livestock receipts at the stockyards the week of September 9 to 14 and on one day 75 per cent of the entire hog receipts were handled by them. - During the month of August 886 cars of livestock were handled by the producers, which was better than 30 per cent of the entire livestock receipts for that month. Much livestock in northern Indiana is shipped to the Buffalo market where the far-mer-owned commission firm at that point handled nearly 33 percent of all of the receipts at the stockyards last week. : ; Mr. Highlen states that co-operative livestock marketing in Indiana is growing by leaps and bounds. This growth is in line with co-operative marketing of various other farm products in the state as approved by the federal. farm boatd in its program to‘ward farm relief.

Gothic Leader Interred : Under Calabrian River Most regions have their buried treasure stories. Cosenza, chief city of Calabria, has one of the oldest and best, according to a writer in the: Washington Star. It ils at Cosenza that Alarie, first Gothic leader to conguer fmperial Rome. was buried along with priceless treasures captured in Rome. Laden with the riches of the dying em pire, Alari¢c and his barbarian hosts marched south to conquer Africa and the grain which abounded there. In Cnlgbria Alarie died of the fever, His followers buried his treasur: with him in the fashion of the day, but they made sure that the dead chieftain’s repose would not be disturbed, either by‘avenging enemies or covetous treasure hunters. They diverted the course of the River Dusento and buried Alaric far below the river bed. Then they restored the river to its channel. For security’s sake they put to death: every one of the prisoners who had helped bury Alarie, and marc¢hed on. The grave has never been discovered, though Alaric died 1500 years ago. Legend has it that the grave i{s near.the confluences of the Crati and the Busento rivers at Cosenza. When I saw this spot it was mostly a dry gravel bed with & narrow stream at which the village women washed their clothes, During the rainy season it is a large river. Its secret -holds the same fascination for Calabria that the Nemi galleys hold for Romans, Recreation Time Must ' Be Used to Advantage " Work is healthful but it must not have depressing associations. —Pauses or changes in monotonous work will cut down boredom and monotony. Rest periods should not necessarily be used for rest, but for relaxations:in diversion and recreation. But unless our ‘play actually gives us relaxation, there is no benefit. American life at present is so arranged that play is not relaxation, but hard work, sags Dr. Lauren H. Smith in Hygeia .\l:g;uzine. “Evening used 'to fall with a hush and tired men came home to rest in contentment. ~Evening -now falls like a ton of bricks. If the house is quiet before midnight the evening is considered a failure. Are we going to give ourselves play, or is it to be frenzy 77 he asks. “In order to gain play and rest we must use our time‘savers to get ourselves more peaceful leisure than more excitement.”

- Method in It At thedinner party one man caused a iild sensation. He was seen to be snmoking cigarettes with a silk handkerchief tied tightly around his eyes. One of the guests found the sight more than his curiogity could stand, and asked another diner the meanine of the phenomenon. . “Oh, haven’t you seen hin before?” exclaimed his fellow guest. *“That’s old Tightwad. I thought everybody knew him.” _ o “But I still don’t understand,” said the other. - . . “Well,” exclaimed the knowing one, “he’s rather an artful sort of chap. He tells people he can name any cigarette just by smoking it, and so he never has to buy any.” . Ants’ Skyscrapers L Compared with the structure buils by . the termite ant the great skyscrapers of our eitieg are insignificant achievements. Man, who is five or six fect tall, has built or plans to build to a height of 1,208 feet, The termite. only three-sixteenths of an inch from end to end, erects apartments rising twenty feet into the air. - Therefore man’s buildings are only about one-seventh as high as the dwellings of th> ant, relatively—that is con: sidering the great difference in their respectivs sizes. The cubic gpace in an ant hall will contain a million times more inhabitants: than the largest human habitation.—Pathfinder Magazine. - » : Hizhest Capital La Paz, Bolivia, is theloftiest capital in the world, for it stands on a mountain top 12,470 feet above sealevel. This is 2,000 feet higher than Quito, in Ecuador, and 5,000 feet higher than Mexico City. Its nearest rival for height is the far distant Lhasa, which stands at an altitude of 11,830 feet. The mean temperature of La Paz is 50 degrees Fahrenheit. But the cold nights are unrelieved by fireside comforts, as the folk have nothing to burn, there being neither coal nor trees in the desolate mountainous regions around the city. .

Plant Heart Beat Doubled

Plants have no beating pulse th: propels the sap upward, and such pu sations as have been recorded are du to the trembling of improperly adjus ed instruments and not to the bea ing of the plant, experiments recentl performed by several American, an European plant physiologists indicate The findings are directly in conflici with those of Sir Jagadis Chunder Bose, who announced some time ago the “beating heart” theory in reégard to plants.—Popular Mechanics Mag: zine. : 5 :
