That was the question asked within the anlmtft husbandry department of the- Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical co'Jege, when they planned last year's feeding experiments. The basic ration consisted of ground corn, alfalfa hay, and enough ground limestone to make 2 per cent of the grain ration. To this was added\rotfonseed meal in different amounts for different lots of steers. The lot which received one and one-half pounds of cottonseed meal per steer daily, made the largest gains, an average of 1.91 pounds a day, and their gains were made at a cost of $7.06 a hundred pounds, which was the cheapest rate of gain. Although limestone was included as a part of the ration do advantage was noted. One additional lot of steers was fed prairie hay Instead.of alfalfa hay. Both these lots showed a gain of 1.7f> liounds a day per steer, but the lot fed prairie hay gained 100 pounds at a cost of $7.91 while It cost $8.22 with alfalfa hay. The steers fed alfalfa beat the others on market, bringing $12.50 a hundred compared to $12'for I he lot fed prairie hay. Alfalfa hay was figured at $15 a ton, prairie at $8, cottonseed meal at $38, and corn at 65 cents a bushel. Cottonseed meal was also tried as a substitute for a part of the tankage In the ration of fattening swine. Hesuits showed no ill effects when cottonseed meal is fed in this way, one lot actually getting three parts of cottonseed meal to one part of tank age. Gains were satisfactory and costs of gain were uniformly low. It ap peared that the price of cottonseed meal must be less than half the price of tankage If it Is to be profitable. One lot that received cottonseed meal but no tankage made much smaller gains at greater cost. n Artificial Respiration . Useful to Save Lambs zlBimersing a lamb which has been chilled at birth in a dish of hot water so that all parts of the body except the head are submerged, will often save it Immediately after removing the lamb from the water It should be wiped d^y and kept warm until It has gained strength. Lambs failing to breathe at blrtb are saved frequently by artificial respiration. To do this, rub the sides, move the front legs forward and backward, and blow In the nostrils. Feed two tabiespoonfuls of the ewe's milk every two hours to<a weak iamb. --After a few artificial feedings the lamb will develop sufficient strength to look after- himself. A ewe which has lost her. lamb may be Induced to adopt an orphan If the skin of the dead lamb Is placed on the back of the orphan. Another method is to dab a bit of kerosene or winter green oil on the nose of the ewe and on the back of the orphan lamb. Should a ewe refuse to own her lamb, bring a strange dog into the shed; the danger often stimulates the protective instinct of the mother to the point where she will forget her stubbornness and go to the lamb.

B. Carroll, chief of swine husbandry. University of Till nois. "If fall pigs become Infested with worms the losses are almost sure to run high and In addition the growth of the pigs will be seriously stunted thereby increasing the cost of making pork with fall pigs Fall pigs bandied under the swine sanitation system will have a vigor which will mean economical pork production when the anl mats are turned into the feed lot. and In addition the sanitation system will savfe many pigs which otherwise would he lost during the suckling period be cause of worms." If the pigs sre farrowed In the per manent hoghouse or around the premises. the sows should be washed thoroughly with soap snd water so that their sides and udders will ne clean. Then pens should be thorough ly scrubbed out with a solution of hulling water containing common household lye at the rate of one pound to 30 gallons of water. This is flit same treatment that Is^rtSronwiendel for spring litters. v ~ Save FinisRe# After a hog hns been finished for market, he should be saved. Often for lack of careful handling, he dies en route from the farm to the packing house. After being warmed up by a long drive, the animal is In condition to contract pneumonia; and be Is usually taken out at the other end of the Journey dead. Every farmer who delivers hogs to be shipped should handle them very careful. Handle carefully, load slowly, and ship quickly. SON GIVES LIFE TO SAVE MOTHER Her to Boat, Then He Sinks in Lake. Piacsrrille, Calif--To sars his aged mother from death James F. Moore, Los Angeles contractor, sacrificed his own life In the storm-swept waters of Echo lake, 5 miles east of here. Mother and son were plunged into the lake when their small boat was upset by a sudden squall. Struggling in tbe dark. Moors reached his mother's side. With rapidly waning strength he succeeded in lashing her with a line to the side of the capsized craft. Then, exhausted by his efforts 1ft the chill wafers, he -was unable to retain his grip and sank. : Meanwhile, his mother, Mrs. Mary Moore, although she lost consciousness, was held fast to the boat throughout the night, and was found shortly after dawn by a rescue party of forest rangers. Revived, she declared that she was unaware that her son had drowned until daylight, when she regained consciousness for a time and discovered he was no longer beside her. Although suffering from exposure, she Is expected to recover.. The accident occurred as Moore was bringing his mother across the lake to his summer home, where his wife awaited them. Rangers and campers dragged the lake for his body. Speech Understood Even if 25 Pet. Inarticulate Los Angeles.--Even when he falls to hear correctly 25 per cent of the sounds in speech, a normal person understands the conversation. Experiments showing this are reported to the Accousticai Society of America by Vera O. Knudsen, of the University of California. "Actual tests," he says, "In a quiet open space have indicated that with average speakers and listeners the articulation will be about 90 per cent. A rating of 100 per cent--that Is, perfect articulation--can never be attained. "A few of the consonantal sounds are sometimes mistaken even under Ideal hearing conditions. We are ordinarily unaware of this when we listen to speech, because the connotation facilities correct interpretations of those Words not heard distinctly. Evfn when speech articulation is as low as 75 per cent, the hearing will be regarded as acceptable." The experiments Indicated that speakers should give special attention to the sounds Ing, d, •, f, and th. "Flying Ferry" Across the Nervion River, Spain.

OW a city awakes is one of the most outstanding characteristics by which a traveler can catalogue It. Bilbao, on the northern coast of Spain, has certain noises and activities all its own. When most northern Spanish cities wake up in the morning certain fixed and recognized noises are heard, certain events transpire, and certain movements of the population take place, and in Spain somehow these little incidents differ conslderaliy from similar ones taking place at the same hour In other countries. The whlstle'of locomotives is heard announcing the departure of early trains, and in Spain the best trains, apparently with fixed intent, manage to depart at about five o'clock. Tiny electric cars ruinhle through narrow streets and across the plazas, uuder the dusty palm trees, tinkling tlieir little brass hells, or' perhaps they haven't any hell at all, the conductor simply blowing from time to time a small tin horn as sign of warning. The worker appears on the streets with his long blue blouse hanging to the knees, hurrying along noiselessly in bis alpargatas, like canvas tennis shoes with soles of coiled rope, and his bolna, a tiny blue cap with no visor, like a small tam-o'-shanter, with a piece of string an Inch long replacing the pompon, set at a rakish angle. 8hops Open, Peopls Appear, In the older parts of the town the Iron curtain covering both door and single window of the little stores, taverns, and wine shops of the poorer classes Is pushed up with a rattle . and the place 1$ then open for business. The church bells call the faithful to early mass, and among them are many women garbed in black, further intensified by the black mantilla over head and shoulders, who slip like shadows through the early morning light. Movement commences along the waterfront, where the rattle of donkeyengine is heard, the clanking of large chains, and the hoarse cries of the second mates starting their gangs st the day's work 6f cargo-handling. i All that takes place In any of the ^Spanish cities on the "Mar Cantabrico," as the Bay of Biscay is called in the mother tongue. But at Bilbao there are two incidents that occur in the early morning which apparently are unique to this, the largest of the Basque cities of Spain. a Number one. The oil lamps of the anguleros sre extinguished. Now, anguleros sre fishermen who since midnight have been engaged in s peculiar branch of the fisherman's art. They have been catching angulas, and angulas, in turn, are a very peculiar brand of fish--little white, slmost transparent worms (perhaps It would sound better to call them miniature eels), only two inches long. When a batch of them Is fried, however, in olive oil and served in an earthenware 'dish, with the oil still popping when brought to the table," most connoisseurs will agree that there Is method 1 in the anguleros' apparent madness. This delicacy inhabits the River Nervion and is caught along the stone walls of the quays, being attracted Into nets by the fishermen's oil lamps. Women Stevedores of Bilbao. Number two. The shrieks of barefooted, illy-clothed women stevedores are heard Tliis requires the explanation that Bilbao, the most important port of Spain after Barcelona, derives Its prominence from the heavy outwardbound traffic.in iron ore from nearby mines and the correspondingly heavy Imports of coals from Newcastle to furnish fuel for the many Basque in- The Iron ore is loaded with modern equipment along the river, but the coal Is often unloaded by hand or, perhaps to be more explicit, by head. Women almost exclusively are employed In this dainty occupation. Every day a continuous line Is to be seen moving up one gang-plank, with bushel- basket in hand, and down another to ttie coal hills on shore, with a heaping basketful of coal balanced on each head. When these toilers gather, shortly after daybreak, to begin work, there Is a great row that has to do with jweferred places In the line, there being some gang-planks sligl*tly nearer to the coal heaps than others. Bilbao Is eight miles up the River Nervion from the sea. Numerous towns, some of them devoted to ship building, iron foundries and smelters, line both sides of the stream between the port and the sea. At the mouth of the Nervion are twin cities, Las Arenas on the right bank, and I'ortugalete on the left. I'eople are transported between the towns in a unique manner. Flyinfc Ferry _kl Unique. On each river edge Is a great tower of steel, something like a wireless tower, but more massive, over two hundred feet in height. These towers support a light iron bridge one hundred and fifty feet above the river, under which the largest steamers pass and repass night aftd day. From this bridge Is suspended a "flying ferry" supported by a network of fine wire, which is pulled back and forth across the river. It hangs to within a few feet of the water. One crowds onto the ferry, the whistle blows, the bell rings, the iron gbte clangs shut, away one moves smoothly out over the river through the air, as it were. The opposite shore is reached in a minute, but it is a rather delightful little minute at that. Portugalete has nftrrow streets, and its balconied houses stretch picturesquely up the hillside, while at the top is an enchanting little Gothic church, which is always the way In Spanish towns. They always seem to cluster around a church or two for protection. Indeed, in Bilbao, there are no less than seventy-five of these protectors. Las Arenas, opposite Portugalete, Is a modern village of seashore villas which has become popular as a summer resort. Here the Club Marltimo has Its pleasant club house, overlooking the harbor entrance. For administrative purposes Spain Is divided into forty-nine districts or provinces. Regionalism Is so strong that one may almost continue and state that there are also forty-nine national languages, forty-nine national costumes, forty-nine national dances, and, last but by no means least, fortynine national dishes. This would, perhaps, be a slight exaggeration, but the^ifSct remains that the inhabitants of each district difTer noticeably In characteristics from all tbe others. A man from Barcelona is first a Catalan and second a Spaniard. Likewise an Inhabitant of Coruna 1s less Spanish than Gallego and a person from Bilbao places his Basque nationality before his Spanish adherence, and so on. Thns, the Bilbaino holds that no dish can equal in excellence his bacalao Vizcaino, and the citizen of Vigo turns up his nose at all foods except bis own native pote gallego, a concoction of potato and cabbage boiled in water with lard and eaten with bread and garlic. The Valencian has his arroz valenciano, which is really "excellent--rice cooked in oil, to which tender bits of meat and sweet peppers are added.

MILLIONS SMUG6LED INTO MEAT BRITAIN Scotland Yard Worried Over Activities of Ring. , London.--Smuggling.activlties which Blount Into millions of pounds sterling annually are occupying the attention of Scotland Yard. Drug, hauls, Introduced partly by the aid of false bottomed buoys In the tempestuous waters surrounding the English coast, have been discovered by undercover agents, working on Information gathered by nrghts of patient listening In Limehouse, days of sharp observation and afternoons of shrewd piecing two and two in Mayfair haunts. Airplanes, fast motor launches and private yachts are included in this dose knit syndicate which Is directed from the continent--and by a woman. Tills ring has been so successful that It is reported hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling in contraband have been brought into the country recently, and have drawn special attention from the revenue department A Good Idea. They started out with a good idea --lobster fishermen. But coast guards were interested to see Ilerne l>ay„ fisherf oik rowing nine miles to sea before dropping their pots. (Even two miles is a good pull when the catch is light!) And when a speed boat came cutting across the horizon, with no excuse except an apparently too friendly call with the strange fishermen, revenuers decided to do a little Investigating. They found: A group of "fishermen" bemoaning the "loss" of their pots overboard; and, a group of fishers which suspiciously refrained from staying to search for same, although the revenuers spent some little time trawling, for the lost pots, while the "fishermen" pulled away. So the revenuers Investigated. Hidden In Pots. "I>obster fisher.*," said one, later, "have to buoy their pots. We know for a fact that some of the buoys they use are really used for contraband." The fishing boats pick up their contraband while attending to their buoys, officers say. This small scale "Rum Row" hns been operating some time, according to officials. But the activities of revenue men have forced the fleet to change Its base of operations. Instead of plying off the coast near Dover and Deal, they have changed to the east shore and the Isle of Slieppey, conveniently located In the mouth of the Thames, less than 40 miles from the heart of London.. Patrols are being doubled in this sector. Relief details are being assigned to Um Thames.
