OATS SHOULD BE GIVEN BETTER CHANCE l_ oW A:re Value of Crop Results in Neglect to Give Soil Treatment. With prospects lor approximately 20,000 acres of oats being sown in jjjjUart county this oat ~,)[) must be considered an imporunt one and deserving ol' some consideration from the standpoint of 6 „ii improvement. H is not uncommon to hear some one say, "That piece is too poor lor corn this year—guess I’ll put it in oats." We often consider oats as a crop not requiring as much fertility as com or wheat. Asa matter of fact "pound for pound of grain” oats require as much plant food as wheat and more than corn. Oats are heavy feeders on plant food and will gener- ' a ny respond to the right kind of soil treatment. Because of the loss from lodging it is seldom advisable to use manure or green manure crops for eats. If this crop it to be fertilized it will be with commercial fertilizers. The use of fertilizers on oats and clover or other'legume seedings, is especially to be recommended because of the very profitable results that may be expected from such treatment of the seeding. Many farmers find that the increase in the yield and quality of the cat crop easily pays for the cost of fertilizer treatment and the increase in the hay yield following is clear profit, in fact the benefit to the clover seeding is generally great enough to make the fertilizing of smalj grain and clover seeding a desirable practice even though the ■ sub* little or ho gain.

ERADICATION OF TUBERCULOSIS IN DAIRY CATTLE UNDER WAY IN ELKHART COUNTY In two weeks time 835 cattle have ben tested for tuberculosis in Elkhart couijty according to Dr-. Rimstidt, federal tester in the county, and' out of this number 10 have reacted as having the disease. . As soon as a carload of reactors have been found they will be shipped to the slaughter house where they will be slaughtered under federal supervision. A great deal of interest - is being shown among Elkhart county dairymen in the eradication of disease from their herds. Hundreds of farmers are applying for an early test of their herds. Because of this interest, good cooperation is being given tlie federal tester when he visits the various herds. ' -- " __J There arA approximately 15,000 cattle to be tested in the ‘county and it is expected that it will take about one year to complete the first test. All herds must pass two successive clean tests before they are fully accredited and according to the contract between the county and the state and government there must be a less than one-half of one percent of infected cattle in the county betoretiie counts’ is--CfinguU>w*d- -ft Modified Free Area.

Finest Ivory Taken From Male Elephant Strictly speaking, ivory Is a twin confined to material represented by the tusk of the elephant, and for commercial purpose! almost entirely to that of the male elephant. Both male and female African elephants produce good-sized tuskg. In the Indian variety the female is much less bountifully provided, while less than 1 per cent of the elephantsCof Ceylon have tusks of any value. Ivory Is a very dense substance; the pores-, are close and compact and filled with a gelatinous solution, which contributes to the beautiful polish that can be given •to Ivoey. The tusk of the elephant, from which- alone true ivory is obtained, may be placed between bone and horn. It is more fibrous than bone and, therefore, less easily torn i or splintered. The tusks of the walrus correspond to the canine feetli of other mammals, and they are not true ivory although so called. -They are inferior in quality to tlie Ivory of the elephant. Great Voices Called Accidents of Nature Great voices are rare and undoubtedly owe their wonderful purity of tone to an accidental combination of those physical characteristics which lead to the production of song. The human musical instrument, though built of living tissues, resembles, 4p structure the reed organ ’pipe fitted with a vox humana stop. In both cases the note depends on the vibrations of a column of air produced in the organ by a reed and in the voice by the vocal cords. The human" air chamber corresponding, to the organ pipe is composed of the larynx and the bronchial system beneath it. The throat, mouth and nasal cavities form the resonators which, by alternation in shape and size, are able to pick out and emphasize certain component parts of the fundamental tones produced in the larynx. Tlig -lungs-form the In-llmi s-'TVTTtch produce the upward blast of air, and upon their quality depends the loudness of the voice. J —London Daily Mail.

This shrine is a place of pilgrimage not for Afghans alone but for people from all parts of central Asia. It was In this garden or just such another, says Mr. Lowell Thomas, that Baber made ills plans to lead his Tartar horsemen and burly nomads down to the rich plains of I’anipat, near Delhi, where he fought one of the most decisive battles of Asia in 1520. Such colossal booty fell into his hands that he was able to give 510,000 to each of his chief officers, and corresponding rewards in silver and rare silks to everyone not only in his army but in his kingdom*

Lesson to Humanity Found in Bee Hives It is more than sweets and fruits and many a lovely flower that would fall us, lacking bees. We would lack books —a few books. In fact, more books have been written about bees than about any other domestic animal. We should also lack something of sympathy and history. Beekeeping is the oldest craft In the world. As a beekeeper I am continuing an ancient line; Joining the oldest of human guilds; speaking .a language known of all lands; supporting and practicing an art beloved of nil peoples; subscribing to a simple faith, wider than any creed or color or the folds of any flag. The bees are a food first step in on all world brotherhood, and could well be included in any world-peace plans. The symbol of that plan might be the hive for its universality, its unbroken continuity as a peaceful occupation, no less than for its social significance—its practice of sacrifice for the common good.— Dallas Lore Sharp, In “The Spirit of the Hive.” Curse Trademark Fakers In the latter part of October each year the English city of Sheffield celebrates its Cutlers’ feast, a civic function that has been held annually since 1648, when the first of the city’s master cutlers was elected. The banquet Is attended by captains of Industry from all over the empire, and by at least one minister of the crown. Two toasts that are always drunk with enthusiasm are: “Eternal destruction to all false marks on Sheffield goods” and ‘‘success to the Hallamshire Whlttells." This quaint wording Is -explained by the fact that the park of Yorkshire where Sheffield Is situated was once known as Hallamshire, while “whittell” is an old name for a knife. There is no public office more highly esteemed than this. As head of the ancient Cutlers’ guild the master takes precedence next to the lord mayor of Sheffield: , Has a Boiling Lake The Grande Boufriere, of which the chief feature la the remarkable Bolling lake.

Lions in Captivity The National Zoological park says it is generuliy regarded that lions live longer in captivity than in their natural wild state. The young, however, are somewhat hindered by caging, while the older animals profit by It. As these animals grow older they are often attacked by stronger beasts of the wild and kilted. “Lungs" in the Skin The skin is spoken Os as the “third lung” becnuse of the fact that twice as much waste matter Is discharged from the body by means of th# skin a through the lungs.
