Only Half an Hour from Town , ODERN business men and farmers have ceased to measure distances by miles. Minutes serve instead. "We are just half an hour from town," says a farmer who lives seven miles out and owns an International car. "I went to town today, starting half an hour after my neighbor went by my gate with his team, and I passed him just where the main street pav ing begins. We visit every friend within thirty miles, hear lectures, see entertainments, have a better time in every way since I bought an International Commercial Car An Ohio business man says "When I am using my International Commercial Car the expense i3 about the same as with a team, but when it is not in use it is not eating, and, therefore, costs nothing. After a year's experi ence, I find the repair bills to be no more than the bills for shoeing, harness repairs, wagon repairs, painting, etc., and there is the added advantage of getting around three times as fast." When you own an International Commercial Car you make the trips you used to neglect ' because you did not want to take the horses from their work. It can be used in all sea sons when the road is passable to horses. The wheels are high enough to give ample road clearance. Solid tires give good traction and eliminate many tire troubles. The engine is 6imple and powerful. It will pay you in many ways to know all about the International Com- S mercial Car. A letter brings full particulars with many interesting facts and figures.

The man who keeps a dozen hens and ferds them largely on scraps from the table, which are usually rich in pro tein, and supplements this with a feed of grain in the evening may know noth ing about the comparative values of the various feeds, yet will get good re sults. Hut as the flock Increases in size the problem of proper feeding be comes one which calls for consider able study. Smith, who runs a boarding house, keeps about eighteen hens and their feed consists of a generous supply of scraps from the table and a little corn Just before going to roost. Ills hens have been laying all winter. Jones who lives Just across the street keeps about ninety hens, and feeds them three times a day on wheat and rolled barley thrown on the ground, and about the only exer cise- tht-y get Is picking up their grain. He gets two and sometimes as many as four eggs a day. Occas ionally they kill a fowl for the table, and he knows that those hens are rolling in fat, yet when he learns that Smith is feeding his hens corn and getting eggs he rushes to the feed store and gets a sack of corn to feed his already overfat hens in the vain hope that it will make them lay. That shows how much thought some people give to the feeding question. Of course any one can follow form ulas for feeding and get good results, but as I have said before, it is best to know why we do things, instead of merely knowing how to do them. In order to understand the prob lem of feeding for best results we must first understand what the var ious feeds are composed of and the amount of each element found in each. Nearly all foods contain five ele ments In varying degrees, viz., pro tein, carbohydrates, ash or mineral matter, water and fat. Of all these protein is the most valuable in fact, the protein of a food may be said to establish the value of the feed. For instance corn and wheat contain near ly the same amount of protein as wheat and corn, and are usually about j double the price. Beef scrap, meat and blood meal contain about the same 'amount of protein as the legumes and are usually priced about the same. Animal protein as found In beef ' scrap, etc., and In the natural state are worth a little more than the vege ; table protein, and cannot be entlrly replaced by it. The animal protein is 'seemingly more easily digested and assimilated by fowls than the veget able. Fowls on free range will. In spring 'and Hummer find a considerable amount of food rich in protein, and can be given a wider ration than at other seasons of the year, or than can be ! given to fowls in confinement at any season. The second In importance carbohy drates are used almost entirely in "he production of heat and energy. They are found in largest quantity m starchy and sugary food and for a long time it was thought that carbohydrates were fattening, but dem nM r it.uns prove that fowls fed on a ration rich in carbohydrates and deficient in fats will not take on fat. However, if th- be given a ration rich In both carbo hydrates and fats, the carbohydrates will be used tip in the production of body heat and energy, and the fats will be stored for future conversion Into heat and energy. This proves pretty conclusively that carbohydrates can not be stored in the form of adipose tiKsue as fats can. It is well known that fowls fed for long on rations rich in carbohydrates will soon become afflicted with liver disorder. The ash or mineral matter -is valu able in forming bone tissue, and in the formation of egg shells. Hence any food stuff rich in ash is particular ly desirable for growing stock and laying hens. in calculating the nutritive value of a ration, the fat Is figured as havipj two and one-half times the value of the carbo hydrates added to two and one half times the percentage of fats is divided by the figure representing the value or percentage of the protein, and expressed as a ratio of one part protein to the resulting proportion of fats and tarbohyd rates. Hence, wheat, containing 11.9 per cent protein and 71.9 per cent carbo hydrates, and 2.1 per cent fat, the alio would be found by multiplying the 2.1 per cent fat by 2 which gives .i.25. Add to this the 71.9 per cent carbohydrates and we have the full value of the heat and energy producing elements. The protein content is 11.9 per cent and by dividing th 71.9 plus 525 by 11.9 w get a dividend of 6H plus as protein. It is written 1:6.5 or l.fi'6, and Is too wldo a ration for fowls In confinement, especially here nil the coast where the weather Is mild all the year, and comparatively little heat forming food needed. A properly balanced ration for fowls in conflnment is about one part protein to four parts carbohydrates and fats, and Is written 1:4. LOCAL TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE Oregon Lumber Company to A.

The smallest state In Europe, the autonomous republic of Moresnet, la on the boundary between Germany and Belgium. Moresnet has an area of barely ona and a quarter square miles and pop ulation of 3.500. It owes Its existence to a boundary controversy for the con trol of a ouee lmiKjrtant zinc mine. A boundary commission settling the fron tiers of Holland and Prussia after the fall of Napoleon In 1814 was unable to agree upon the ownership of this tiny piece of land, with Its valuable mining rights, and finally left the question for future settlement. Neither power was to occupy It, and It was administered Jointly by the two states. In practice the Joint administration soon resulted In an administration by neither state, and the community be came autonomous under the protection and tutelage of Prussia and Holland and later of Prussia and Belgium. In 1811 the two guaranteeing countries regularized this and formally gave the district its own Independent adminis tration. It has no courts, but litigants can choose between the Belgium and. Prussian tribunals in beginning litiga tion, which is subject to the laws nei ther of Germany nor of Belgium, but of the ancient Code Napoleon. Chi cago Inter Ocean. PRIMITIVE ARAB LIFE. Desert Paopla Still Hava the Customs of Abraham's Tima. In the wild deserts Arab life Is as primitive as in Abraham's time. Sheep are still slain to seal a vow. The salt or bread covenant Is observed, and when a man dies bis tent is torn down and destroyed. Old names such as Joseph, Moses and Alexander are still In common use among Arabs, though pronounced "Yusuf." "Musa" and "Skandar." To divorce his wife a man may re peat the formula Ent telek three times. Usually saying it once makes the wo man behave, and its repetition is not necessary. The "evil eye" superstition Is com mon, and the first injunction given a visiting foreigner by experienced Ara bian travelers is that be must not point at animals or persons In Arab settlements. Arabs say a man gifted with this malign power can look at a bird flying in the air aud that it will drop dead; that If be chooses to cast bis wicked spell on a camel It may go lame or a child so selected will be struck blind. None of the lower class can read or write, but the Arab is noted for his ready wit and his habit of speaking In allegory. Christian Herald.

Were this not the case man would stand below the elephant hdJ whale, as the brains of those creatures far ex ceed man's la positive size, while as regards relative size they stand so far below him that, while the brain of the elephant amounts to about the five- tiuudredth aud that of the whale to three-thousandth part of the bodily weight of these animals respectively, the brain of man varies from one-thir ty-fifth to one-thirty -seventh of his en tire weight This shows the immense 8iiHTlority of the human brain as com pared with the brains of the lower ani mals. New York American. Dogs That Hunt Crabs. A collector for the London too has succeeded In capturing several crab bunting and crab eating dogs In Brazil. The dogs are half fox, but they do not seem to care very much for poultry, They have been known to turn up their noses at nice, fat pullets and go fishing for crabs instead. The dogs hunt Id packs along the banks of the rivers in the Amazon valley, and the crawfish and land crabs of that region are their especial prey. The crabs often put up a vigorous fight, but the dogs have a way of turning them over and biting them In a vital spot just as the thor oughbred terrier polishes off a rat New Votk Herald. Unfair Advantage. A school Inspector, examining a class in nible history, asked. "Can any boy tell me what bird Noah let out of the ark?" There was a long silence, and then the smallest boy In the class put up his hand and answered, "Please, sir, a dove!" The inspector expressed his surprise that only the smallest boy In the class knew the answer to the question "Hut. please, sir, replied one of the Itiys. evidently touched by this reproach, "his father keeps a bird shopl" London Telegraph.
