RECENT agricultural college experiments show that skim milk Is the cheapest and best-protein supplement for growing pigs, according to the Blue Valley Creamery Institute. Notable among these experiments was the one conducted at the Minnesota College of Agriculture, which emphasizes the Importance of feeding the skim milk on the farm In producing cheap pork as another source of Income to the dairy farmer. Ten pigs In one lot receiving tankage as the protein supplement required 307 pounds of corn to make a gain of 100 pounds at a feed cost of $7.79, whereas when skim milk was used In place of tankage ten pigs In another lot required only 201 pounds of corn to make a 100-pound gain at a cost of $5.48. At prevailing prices for com and tankage, these trials gave 100 pounds of skim milk a feeding value equal to 11 pounds of tankage and 25 pounds of corn. Furthermore, the pigs receiving skim milk reached a weight of 83 pounds In two weeks less time than was required by the tankage-fed group and at a reduced cost of $2.31 per l(Xh pound gain. 1

BETTER ARKANSAS RICE FARMS AT HALF USUAL COST $57.50 PER ACRE Will deliver any sized rice farm, oiie-lialf fully cleared and free from stumps, and ready for plow and cropping. Other half in cut-over, hardwood timber. Complete drainage. Wonderful climate. In heart of .famous Jones-boro-Otwell rice district, noted for its many certified seed rice farms, its deep diversification soil, its inexhaustive shallow wells and low water lift of less-than 30 feet, which allows for exceedingly light installation and operating irrigation expense. Neap modern college city of 14,000. Scores of rice farms in this district that yield from 66 to 100 bushels per acre. Rice has been averaging around $1.75 per bushel. This is virgin, long lived rice land with its fertility all ahead of it—not worn out, as m.ujfth of the other sixteen thin soil prairie, Arkansas rice districts are, Tliis deep soil district is and can be profitably rotated to many diversified crops. Is partic ularly good for cattle, hogs and general livestock. Is closer by 140 miles and has many valuable advantages over the much advertised Stuttgart thin soil., deep water lift, prairie district. Stuttgart section is very profitable but the Jonesboro section is more so. A great many of the Stuttgart rice farm--er# are selluig. out .and.-maviuguip. tQ_the Jonesboro .dislxct, Pan deljvpr any number of these rice farms, all close together and with ..perfect suitability for colony settlement. These superior rice farms, with their many advantages are offered direct by the owner at only about half the Stuttgart cost. They certainly should be investigated, and can be without expense on the trip to or from Stuttgart. As soon as the small, remaining balance of cutover lands, suitable for rice, is developed and out of competition, rice farms wiH then readily sell in proporton to their net earnings, or from $250 to above SSOO per acre. If you pay Stuttgart prices of around slls per acre; then when your farm reaches a value of $230 per acre you will have made 100 per cent. But our farms at $57.50 per acre will grow to the value of $230 in the same time and will have made a profit four times greater, or 400 per cept, Think this part of it over very carefully. The lower the original cost the greater the multiplication of profit, eventually. Because of the extremely limited area where rice .can possibly be grown, rice farms are. bound'to be among the very highest priced machinery farm lands in America. The making of large profit is mostly a matter of vision and nerve. Will make an especially low price where purchaser does all the improvement. The is marketed and the industry is stabilised” by the Arkansas Rice Growers Co-Operative Association'. Last year 1727000 acres were cropped to nee in Arkansas. Rice is extremely profitable.

Load Everything Evil on Dragon’s Shoulders They still blame It on the dragon In China when anything goes wrong. Thut the Ideas of a people 95 per cent Illiterate do not change rapidly ji- amply illustrated in Thomas Stoop’s book, “Chinese Fnntastlcs.” Now, as In centuries gone hy, the dragon dictates the dally conduct of millions of Chinese. Angered, the dragon manifests Its displeasure In floods, droughts, earthquakes, eclipses and typhoons. When Canton was wrecked by a typhoon the havoc was attributed to the whisking of the tall of on angry dragon. Dus lng a solar eclipse the people of Island villages, supposing the darkness to be caused by a dragon having swallowed the sun, rush to the streets and with drums, gongs, horns and whistles create noise until the dragon, frightened, disgorges his prey. What does a dragon look like? It Is equipped to work any kind of destruction. It*has teeth, claws, feet, wings and tall. Its scales number elghty-one, or nine times nine, the extreme odd or lucky number. It possesses nil the luck that humans covet. Its voice Is as the booming of a gong. Its breath Is Are, fog or rain. It renders Itself visible or Invisible. It swells to the dimensions of heaven or shrinks to the size of a silk worm. It likes to sleep within the earth and mightily hates to be disturbed. Hence the aversion of the Chinese to the digging of mines, the construction of railroads, changing of watercourses, or anything else that will disturb the slumbers of the dragoD Art of Early Americans Evidence of the splendor of the royal tables In Peru, before the days of Columbus, has been found In a cup of gold, ten Inches high and bearing a portrait In hammered relief, 6ays Popular Mechanics Magazine. It la believed to have belonged to the service of one of the Inca kings and is thought to antedate the time of the Spanish conquest by 1,000 years or more. Like other relics of the period, It shows the high degree of skill which thee# early Americans had attained in the art of gold-beating. They also displayed exceptional skill as silversmiths, potters and engineers. Excused Phyllis had* called upon Mrs. Smith one day and the latter was entertaining her by showing her some picture books, In which she was much interested. Finally Mrs. Smith asked the Dames of her brother and then her sister's name. "Luclle Alllngton Savage,” she replied. “Was Alllngton your mama’s last name before she was married?” asked Mrs. Smith. “I don’t know,” was the answer. “I didn’t know my mama before she was married.” A Now They^re Married The young woman had watched In vain every morning Tor a letter, and she began to get' disconsolate when none appeared. “I’ll tell you what,” said the postman, In an effort to cheer her up. “I’ll send you one myself." "It’s very kind of you. I'll be delighted to have one.” "Do you wish a business or a love letter?" “Well, If you mean business, I’ll have a love letter.” The Printed Word Every reporter at one time or another makes each jjf his friends mad. It Is a the newspaper game. It Is so easy to disgust people with the printed Word. You can say something to your best friend, and he will take It as a Joke. You can state the same thing In print, and he takes It as an insult. The most mysterious thing In the world Is the printed word, as far as effect Is concerned.—Atchison Globe. Double Meaning A man had a slight difference of opinion with his wife. But he acknowledged his error quite generously by saying: ‘‘You are right, and I am wrong, as you generally are. Good-by, dear," 5 and he hurried off to catch his train. “So nice of him to put it like that," his wife said to herself. And then she began to think about it—TltBlts.

Franklin Would Have Put Maxims on Coins The first third of the Nineteenth century was the heyday of Staffordshire ware decorated with pictures. And not the least .Interesting of this China \yas the series picturing muxiins, proverbs and morals. Os this didactic china many pieces carried reproductions of "Poor lUchard’s" sayings, which our great American, Benjamin Franklin, industriously circulated through his Poor Bichard’s Almanack for 25 years. The Poor Richard maxims were very near to Franklin's heart, and hs let no chance slip to get them Into greater circulation. One of his projects—which, however, was not carried out—was to Imprint on one side of the copper coins of the ndw American republic some proverbs of Solomon and other sayings encouraging thrift “Diligence is the mother of good luck,” and “Plow deep while sluggards sleep” were among those he suggested. His practical and benevolent mind pictured how many a family would read and ponder his precepts as they gathered round the hearth. —The Antiquarian. u Pony Express” Hailed as Fast Mail Service The first trip of the "pony express,” from St. Joseph to Sacramento, carried about 85 pieces of malt, according to Glenn D. Bradley’s "The Story of the Pony Express.” This run began In the early evening of April 8, 1800, and required 9 days and 23 hours. At the same time an eastbound express was also on the way with about 70 pieces. “The first pony express from St Joseph," writes Bradley, “brought a message of congratulation from President Buchanan to Governor Downey of California, which was first telegraphed to the Missouri river town. It also brought one or two official' government communications, some New York, Chicago and St. Louis newspapers, a few bank drafts, and some business letters addressed to banks and commercial houses In San Francisco.” “ Sold by Auction Morganatic marriages of royalty are freely discussed, but perhaps the mo.st curious stories are about the auctioning of wives which took place as recently as 90 years ago. According to the Annual Register the Inhabitants of Carlisle witnessed the sale of a wife by her husband, Joseph Thompson, In 1832. A bellman was sent round to give notice of the sale, which attracted the attention of thousands. The woman stood on a large oak chair with a rope or halter of straw round her neck, and Thompson addressed the crowd. After an hour or two she was purchased by a pensioner for the sum of 20 shillings and a Newfoundland dog! —London Tit-Bits. ; * His First Love Affair it a boy who has been notoriously careless of his personal appearance suddenly begins to show some Interest in the condition of his face, neck, ears and wrists; agonizes over the part In his hair; takes his fingernails out of mourning: discovers overnight that a toothbrush Is of practical value Instead of uselessly ornamental, and demands a clean shirt every day; If, we say, and wlien, this amazing metamorphosis occurs, remember the basis on which the old French detective used to go to work —"find the woman.” There- isn’t another thing under the sun that will produce such a revolution. —Philadelphia Inquirer. Tower Famous Landmark Asa. landmark, nothing can equal a tower in a hilltop. For Instance, the noted tower on the top of Leith hill, the culminating point of the North Downs, England, can be seen 40 miles away. The story goes that It marks the spot where an eccentric farmer of the neighborhood was burled on horseback, and upside down, so that when the world was turned topsy-turvy at the last day he would be In the right position. This story Is probably founded on the fact that Mr. Hall of Leith place built the tower In 1760. and was burled there six years later. Early Rulers of Greece The name “Ptolqmles” Is given to a dynasty of Greek rulers that governed Egypt from 323 to 30 B. C., a period of 293 years. The dynasty was founded by Ptolemy Lagus, surnained also Boter, who, at the time, of the death of Alexander the Great (323 B. C.), was governor of Egypt, and after the division of the empire Into four monarchies became king of that country. ’ dynasty of the Ptolemies comprised 14 sovereigns. On the death of Cleopatra, the Inst of the line, In 30 B. 0., Egypt became a province of Rome. Dagger Pledge of Fidelity When a Druse woman marries she presents her husband with a dagger, over which she has knitted with her own hands a red woolen cover, enclosing It completely like a sewed-up purse. The dagger Is a symbol of the death penalty she nfaist pay If she Is unfaithful, while the knitted, sewed-up cover Is the symbol of the law, by which her husband himself must not unsheath the knife unless all her own male relatives are dead, but must return It and her to her father or brothers, who pronounce and execute tba •entence.—Asia Magazine.
