Substitute for Daylight.
A thin translucent marble
globe has been made in Germany
which gives a clear light similar
to daylight. The Hght produced
from this globe is declared by
experts to be almost the exact
counterpart of daylight. Anoth
er German novelty in illumina
tion consists of a screen coated
with an aluminum powder which,
when placed before a light,
transmits a glare exactly like
daylight, by means of which
even colors can be judged with
perfect accuracy.
Should these German discov
eries prove to be all that has
been claimed for them, they will
doubtless be universally adopted.
Artificial light that is a perfect
substitute for daylight is what
the world has been waiting for.
a Night of Terror!
Few nights are more terrible than
that of a mother looking on her child
choking and gasping for breath dur
ing an attack of croup, and nothing
in the house to relieve it. Many moth
ers have passed nights of terror in
thissitaution. A little forethought
will enable you to avoid all this. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is a certain
cure for croug and has never been
known to fail. Keep it at hand. For

Remarkable Monastery.
At Solovetsk, in the Russian
government of Archangel, is the
most remarkable monastery in
the world. It is enclosed on ey,
ery side by a wall of granite
boulders which measures nearly
a mile in circumference.
It is very strongly fortified,
being supported by round and
square towers about 30 feet in
height, with walls 20 feet in
thickness. The monastery con
sists in reality of six churches
which are completely filled with
statues and precious stones.
Upon the walls and towers sur
rounding these churches are
mounted huge guns, which in
the time of the Crimean war
were directed against the British
White Sea squadron. The monks
who inhabited the monastery at
that time marched in procession
on the granite walls while the
shells were flying over their
heads to prove how little they
feared the attacks of the British
fleet.
Ten thousand pilgrims come
annually to Solovetsk from all
parts of Russia to view the
churches and relics. They are
conveyed jh steamers manned
and commanded solely by monks.

Braver Things Than War.
"I have just come back from
Europe, where every nation has
made a soldier out of every man
fit to bear arms," writes David
Starr Jordan, chancellor of Stan
ford university, in the leading
article in the November issue of
Boys' Life, the Boy Scouts offi
cial magazine. "And now the
whole continent is impoverished
and starving while its rivers run
with blood of young men who
have been killed by other young
men, who had no quarrel with
them at all.
"It is a soldier's business to
fight and kill or to stand up
against other soldiers who are
forced to fight and kill. It is a Boy
Scout's business to help and to
save, to make this world a bet
ter place for good men rnd wo
men and boys to live in. It costs
$40,000 for every man who is
killed in battle, and this amount
must be paid in 150 year's work
for each one of the farmers and
workmen who make up the
armie3 of Europe. And we who
are outside of Europe may be
most thankful that we were born
in a republic where no man is
made a soldier against his will.
"Just a word to the Boy Scouts
of America as to what they are
doing and why they are doing ft.
It is not that we want to make
soldiers of you. Th'at is about
the poorest use a nation ever
made of its young men. There
must be soldiers, sometimes,
even in our great republic, but
they are called to fight only when
some men who ought to know
better have made some awful
blunder.
"We want you, Boy Scouts,
for braver things than war. We
want to make men of you. strong
kind, alert, vigorous, helpful
men, useful, to yourselves, to
your neighbors, to your country
and to the world. For the world
to-day is one great nation, and
whatever helps or hurts one part
of it aids or injures all. Once
in a great while the world needs
soldiers. It needs you all the
time as boys and as men, and it
wants you cleareyed, wholesome
and high spirited, fit to do good
work, and willing to do it with
abounding joy."

Tide Turns.
During the month of Septem
ber exports exceeded imports by
$18,000,000. According to esti
mates based on incomplete re
turns., exports during the month
of October will exceed imports
by from $25,000,000 to $30,000,
000. This prospect, as viewed
by the bankers of New York,
Phildelphia, Chicago and St.
Louis, plainly indicates "a turn
of the tide" which can have but
one result revival of business
and industry in this country ap
proximating the palmiest days of
prosperity. Frank A. Vanderlips
president of the National City
Bank of New York, is confident
that if the United States maia-
taii.s strict neutrality its export
business will soon surpass any
previous record, while every mill
factory and mine in the country
will be employing every man and
woman who is willing to work.

MILKING SHORTHORNS
LIKED IN ENGLAND
It Is claimed by high authority that
from SO to 90 per cent of the milk
used In England comes from dual
types of cattle, writes Thomas Shaw
In the National Stockman. The great
preponderance comes from the Short
horns, in fact very much more than
from all the other breeds combined.
There are some Shorthorn herds in.
England that are maintained only for
beef. But the proportion of these to
that of the Shorthorns that are milked
Is very small indeed.
It would also be correct to say that
nearly as large a proportion of the
beef consumed comes from Shorthorns,
pure and in the graded form, and yet
In the face of these facts some of the
While dairymen as a rule pin
their faith to cattle of dairy breed
ing, many farmers Ilka the milking
strain of Shorthorns. A Kansas
farmer says of this breed: "Three
Shorthorn cows of mine are all
good milkers, giving about Ave to
six saltans per day when fresh and
holding up with their milk very
well. Sometimes they are giving
about a gallon and a half a day
within two weeks of the time they
come fresh again. They do not
keep fat on the best of feed when
giving milk. Their milk Is good and
rich, and I consider they pay well
for their feed and milking." The
bull shown In of the milking Short
horn strain.
wise teachers at our colleges have said
that dual qualities could not be main
tained. An annual was issued in 1912 by the
English Dairy Shorthorn association
giving the milk records of 243 cows for
that year. The cows were in milk on
the average 294VG days. The lactation
periods In many instances were not
completed, and quite a number of the
animals were heifers. The average
production in milk was 7.51S.S8
pounds. The males, the progeny of
these, when grown into beef invaria
bly do well. The steers grown on
Bkimmilk and adjuncts during the milk
period are positive favorites with tb&
butchers. They attain to n large de
velopment, especially during the sec
ond year of growth, and it is claimed
that the beef produced by those anl
mal Is better marbled than when th&
calves are reared upon the dam. In
the latter Instances the maturity is
frequently premature, and the external
fat is excessive.
LUMPY JAW IN CATTLrj.
Two Methods of Treating This Dan
gerous Disease.
Lumpy jaw is the common name for
the disease of the head, jaw and neck
of cattle. The scientific name Is de
rived from the fungous spore which
gives rise to the disease and which la
technically known as actinomyces,
writes Dr. A. S. Alexander In the Farm
Journal. -
There are two ways of treating the
disease, either of which must be resort
ed to at once. In many cases the tu
mor when first noticed is not attached
to thejone and may be cut out with
little difficulty or danger. After the
operation, which is best performed by
a veterinarian who is' familiar with
the anatomy of the part, the walls of
the cavity made by the knife should be
cauterized with the hot iron or some
caustic solution such as bichloride of
mercury and hydrochloric acid in wa
ter. This solution should consist of at
least half an ounce of bichloride to tha
pint of' water with sufiicient of the
acid to make it dissolve. It may be
introduced by means of a swab of cot
ton on a stick. There are many other
effective solutions.
If the operation and application are
thoroughly done the first time there is
rarely need of a second operation, but
the solution may have to be used sev
eral times while the wound is healing.
If the bone is involved it will have to
be scraped and the swab used as be

Money In Swine.
Stvine raising is one way to utilize
the surplus grain and the waste acres
as pasture. Swine consume an enor
mous amount of food, but they make
rapid gain, usually mature quickly
as compared to. other animals and are
among that class .of animals that re
produce the species rapidly. Money In
vested in swine should bring dividends
sooner, as a rule, than when invested
