Show THE RICH COUNTY REAPER, RANDOLPH, UTAH Advocates Wheat as Substitute for Corn OUTLET FOR WEALTH OF CENTRAL AFRICA It is 75 years since David Livingstone completed the first journey made by a white man across Africa, and that journey had taken two years. Now, following broadly Livingstones track from Angola to Mozambique, a very different transcontinental journey is being made. The first train to cross Africa from ocean to ocean leaves Lobito now for Beira, a distance of 2,949 miles by the route of the railway. The journey has been rendered possible by the completion of the western section of the route, that from Lobito bay by the Benguela railway and its continuation through the Belgian Congo to the Katanga copper field a field which extends Into the adjacent regions of northern Rhodesia. The change that has come over this land in a, single generation is remarkable. As diamonds drew the railway from the cape to Kimberley, and as gold drew the railway on to the Rand, so copper has drawn the railway to the heart of South Central Africa. Katanga, but yesterday a thousand miles from anywhere, almost unknown to the white man, is now the most highly developed province of the Belgian Congo. It has a considerable white population; its mines have already exported copper to the value of 52,000,000; and In Elisabethville it has an attractive capital, which at the moment is indulging in its first international exAcross the border, in hibition. Expert Advises Its Use in Rations of Hogs. Proving an excellent substitute for eorn in the hog ration, wheat may be fed with profit as long as Its price stays near its present level and does not cost more than 10 to 12 cents more per bushel than corn, states J. W. Wuichet, specialist at Ohio State O' university. : j ; As t feed for hogs, wheat Is worth about 6 to 8 per cent more than the same weight of shelled corn and may be substituted entirely for corn in the ration, according to Wuichet. In fact, some tests show that greater returns are obtained by feeding wheat alone with some good protein supplement than by mixing large amounts of corn in the ration. To get the most out of wheat, Wuichet believes that it is best ground or crushed, preferably the latter, as grinding fine does not improve the digestibility nd only adds to the cost. Soaking wheat improves it about 1 per cent, but grinding adds about 16 per cent to its value. As wheat contains more protein than does corn, less protein is necessary to balance it Corn, he says, requires about 10 per cent tankage to balance it and wheat requires about 8 per cent. So by feeding wheat good results may be obtained although less tankage and other high protein feeds are used. northern Rhodesia, there-ipromise of an almost equal development. And whether in Portuguese, Belgian or British territory the great change has been brought about mainly by British enterprise and with British capital. This Is as it should be, for the opening up of the whole region originated with the British. It to the courage and persistence of one man in particular, Sir Robert Williams, this change is due, then Livingstone was the true pioneer. It was Livingstone who first kept open the road to the north, and It was the reading of entries In Livingstones journal that guided Williams, as he has himself said, to his discovery of the immense mineral wealth along divide. Williams the was an early associate of Cecil Rhodes and an ardent believer in the railway scheme. But neither he nor Rhodes was foolish enough to suppose that a railway from the Cape to Cairo was an economic proposition in itself. The o line was meant as a backbone from which ribs would extend on either side. Two years before his death Rhodes wrote, The junctions to the east and west coasts, which will occur in the future, will be outlets for the traffic obtained along the route of the line as it passes through the center of Africa. That was written in 1900, the year in wThich Williams got his first mineral concession in Katanga. Today two great junction lines are complete and, as Rhodes foresaw, they are taking to the markets of Congo-Zambe- Cape-to-Cair- o Cape-to-Cair- one-ha- lf two-third- self-feede- r. Lack of Protein Cause of Rooting by Pigs Pigs fed a ration deficient in protein rooted more and more as the length of the feeding period extended at the Ohio experiment station. Pigs which had a good ration with plenty of protein and salt rooted very little, according to W. L. Robinson, report Ing his years research work. Fish meal again proved to be the most economical protein supplement for corn fed to growing pigs. Min erals added 18 per cent gain when fed with corn alone and reduced the feed required 13 per cent. No protein supplement was used. Ground oats were more productive than whole oats with tankage and al falfa. A ration of ground corn, oats, tankage and minerals proved to be commore profitable than the corn-oa- t was of Cost production bination, Hulling oats was $6.92 a hundred. not profitable for pigs.

P. V. Suitable for Either Silage or Hay Dominion , At one of the mental stations in Ontario an experiment has been conducted for a period of; years to determine the best time for sowing a mixture of oats, peas and vetch (O.F.V.) for silage or hay. The mixture used was two bushels of f oats, one bushel of peas and bushel of vetch per acre. The seed sown on six different dates each year, at Intervals of seven days. The average date of the first seeding over a period was May 23. The average date of the last seeding, Oras six-ye- June ar 27. The experiments showed that good yields may be grown either for silage or hay; that the earlier seedings produce the better yields; yet ?ery good results may be obtained even from seeding later in the summer, Hence, the crop may be grown even on land, slow to dry up in the spring. low-lyin- g Turks Shaken in Their Veneration for Koran Arabic, being a sacred language, the ecclesiastics have cried out against their holy book, the Koran, appearing In any other tongue. But the Turkish government has in spite of this allowed the publication of three separate translations. Fourteen thousand copies have been sold. Turks, who formerly heard the sounding Arabic of the Koran without understanding anything of its meaning, Imagined it charged with tremendous and mystic meanings. That impression melts away when the Koran is read in the vernacular. It is sometimes enough to place a Koran and a Testament in the hands of a Turkish reader and leave him to draw his own conclusions. It is said that Kemal Pasha in disgust threw the book across the room into a corner. Yet in the Sudan the primary textbook in all the government schools Is the Koran; and Islam is gaining ground constantly in the Sudan. Sunday Anglo-Egyptia- n School Times.

This is the year everybody is scrutinizing his purchases. This is particularly true in tire buying because of the many confusing and misleading statements made about tires. To give car owners the facts, Firestone published comparisons showing quality, construction and prices. Then the public went to Firestone Service Stores and Service Dealers made their own comparisons with cross sections cut from FirestoneTires and from special brand mail order tires and others. When they saw the facts, they bought more Firestone Tires during May, June and July than in any like period in Firestone history.

With corn silage and alfalfa hay as basal ration, supplemented with the ' linseed meal and corn, experiments at the Michigan State college experiment station, as well as at other experiment stations, have shown that considerable grain may be saved by inducing the calves to eat more silage and hay in the early part of the feeding period. When starting on feed, calves weighing 375 to 400 pounds will gain practically ' as fast for the first two months with about six pounds of grain and all the 'silage they care to eat as if they are eating eight to ten pounds of grain and considerably less silage.
