Ancient Lock* The medieval lock was a simple form of the warded type usually opened with a heavy and marvelously wrought and decorated key. Artisans of those times, lacking the Inventive genius of later centuries, supplied great complexity and artistry instead. If their locks were not efficient, they had at least the virtue of looking formidable. One of World's Wonders The light emitted from the ancient lighthouse at Alexandria, Egypt, came froih a huge wood Are which was kept burning at the summit continuously during the night. It has been stated that this illumination was visible for a distance of 40 miles, bat modern knowledge disputes this. The pharos of Alexandria was known as one of the seven wonders of the world.

Bulletin No. 2 of the federal Item board, entitled "Practical Experiences in Feeding Wheat," contains the r£ suits of experiments by twenty-five college stations in feeding wheat to live stock and Is the latest authentic information on the subject. Most of the experiments were made recently, but It is an interesting fltct that as early as 1894 the South Dakota experiment station published the results of some feeding triuls which showed that wheat was about equal to corn as a feed for hogs. In the winter of 1901-02, the agricultural experiment station of the University of Nebraska conducted a test to determine ihe comparative feeding value of wheat and corn for cattle. The result of that experiment was that wheat had a feeding value of about 5 per cent greater than corn. Recent experience* of stations and farmers In feeding wheat to hogs give it a value of from $1.25 to $1.C7 per bushel and in all such experiments It was shown that wheat has a value equal or slightly greater than corn. The showing with cattle and sheep was not quite so good, but with poultry it was equally favorable. The bulletin, based upon all experiments, suggests that wheat and corn appear to be practically interchangeable In live stock rations and it depends upon the relative price as to which one would be the more profitable to feed. Col jt is given Bulletin No. 2 by a statement that former President Coolidge eats wheat regularly for breakfast. His formula Is "two parts of wheat and one of rye. It Is cooked Two Full Moon* in Month | The period of one full moon to another full moon is 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and 2.87 seconds, or 28.53059 days. When one full moon occurs on the first or second day of the month, there will be another full moon before that month ends. In August, 1928, there wftre two full moons, one on the first and the other one on the thirtieth. W*. 'JflbMM 12t-W BeasonaUo Rate* ?! A. * SCHAEFEU - Drayfaf HcHENBT . . . .

Fir*plae« Haatiay Among the advantages of heating a room with a fireplace may be listed the fact that the fireplace takes little space. Its disadvantages are its low efficiency, uneven heating and frequent ears required. just as it comes from the field and is put In a donble boiler and cooked until the kernels of wheat burst open. This sometimes takes four er five hours." • -- -- . , ^ 1 ; liaise More Horses for Efficient Farm Power Will consumption of milk and bread and meat stand still? The time Is not far distant when it will, declares Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the Horse Association of America, in a recently Issued statement, "Childless Marriages--Fewer Mouths for the Farmer to Feed." Farmers must realize, Mr. Dinsmore says, that a Wise alternative Is to raise and feed some live stock not Intended for human consumption but for serving them in their farm operations as efficient, cheaply kept farm power-- good, sound horses and mules, in other words. Used in big teams, they are the best, most efficient form of power for the farm; and, kept on pasture as they should be, they cause the owner almost no casfT expense. Anyone desiring a copy of the statement in full may have It by writing to Wayne Dinsmore, secretary, Horse Association of America, Union Stock Yards, Chicago. ' .Wheat Fed Live Stock to Relieve SituatfOll Every one Is agreed that the price of wheat next year must depend to a large extent on whether or not the present surplus is taken off the market to be use<f as live stock feed. It Is also a well-known fact that shortage In corn amounts to as much or wore than the surplus of wheat and small grain. In this connection it Is interesting to note that In 1923, when a somewhat similar condition presented itself, there was 140,000,000 bushels of wheat used on farms primarily for live stock feed. In 1927, which was the next highest year, 85,000,000 bushels were used for that purpose. For the good of both the live stock Industry and the wheat producer, It Is to be hoped that considerably more wheat will be fed this year than either one of the two previously high years. Rifles Front England During the Civil war the United 8tates bought over 428.000 Enfield rifles from Great Britain. These were of models dating from 1858 onwards. Tbey were of .577 caliber and used 458 caliber United States cartridges. Pute TniY ration* Now lack Out AA&rtnir* Harry Matthews and son wore vis- Jtors at Lake Zurich Saturday.

The calves so produced will sell higher as veal calves. They may be fed out and sold as fat steers or heifers, thus utilizing some of the cheaper roughage and pastures. The heifers may bs retained and bred back to a good sire as mentioned, thus establishing a grade beef breeding herd at little cost. Such a herd will produce market top- '4 v Gains on Lambs" Lambs are very efficient utilizers of feeds. Four pounds of corn and five pounds of alfalfa or clover hay will produce a pound of gain on a lamb. When corn is available at 1 cent per pound and hay at approximately ^ cent per pound, there should be a comfortable margin for the feeder who receives 9 to 10 cents for lambs. When feed prices are higher, one can easily calculate the»cost of producing 100 pounds of gain and determine whether it would be policy to enter the game.
