The new member of the city council felt very proud "of 'himself, and nodded amicably at any passerby whom he thought he had seen before.

Before the Nineteenth century coins often circulated with little regard for national boundaries. Some types of coins, because of the quality of their manufacture, came to be especially well known and to be accepted as an International standard. The florin, for instance, first minted In Florence In 1252, was later adopted as an Austrian, a Dutch and an English coin. It Is in this same manner that a little valley in the recesses of the Bohemian mountains came to give Its name to file monetary unit of Prussia, before the establishment of the German empire. Other countries adopted dollars In their currency, and the name was next applied to other coins of weight and fineness similar to the dollar. The famous Spanish piece of eight eight reals came to be called a dollar, and this became the most widely circulated of all the early dollars. It Is the Spanisli pieces of eight" which gave us our standard coin. In the days of the Spanish colonial empire In America, the Spanish milled .dollar circulated as freely In the. English colonies as In the Spanish, and became the principal medium of exchange throughout the western hemisphere. The United States adopted Its dol lar currency under the coinage act of 1792. The United States wanted to be independent of Great Britain even In Its currency, and It turned to the Spanish example ratliei than the British, and a decimal systen was decided upon Instead of the Brit ish calculation of shilling and pence. g , . In the Fifteenth century the counts of Schlick, In Bohemia, minted large silver coins from metal found In the In that vivlnlty of Joaehlmsthal, country. These coins were known as "Joachlmst haler," abbreviated to In tbe low German this thaler. became "daler, and to the English Wheat can be converted into pork more readily than into any other meat, although It can be used in almost any live stock ration, says H. B. Osland, associate In animal investigations at the Colorado Agricultural college. What is equal to corn In feeding value, pound for pound, many experiments have shown, while several experiment stations report thnt It Is even more valuable than corn In the Shriveled and ration. shrunken wheat It usually richer In protein than plump wheat, and If not too badly damaged, Is fully as valuable for feed as sound wheat. It Is stated. Tankage should always be added to the wheat ration for maximum gains and economy of production, Osland Wheat is somewhat richer In says. protein than corn, but It requires the addition of protein to balance the ration for pigs in the dry lot. Wheat should always be coarsely ground or rolled for swine. Experiments Indicate that this type of preparation saves 15 to 20 per cent of Its feed value. If ground too fine, wheat becomes a pasty. Indigestible mass when fed. Soaking wheat may Increase Its value slightly, but not enough to justify that practice. It Is possible to use wheat as the only grain In the ration, but where corn is available, a mixture of corn and wheat, equal parts, is very desirable for fattening hogs. Barley or millet can also be used in the ration as a part of the grain feed along with wheat. It will take from 450 to 550 pounds of wheat or its equivalent to produce 100 pounds of pork, depending on the ration fed." LETTING HIM DOWN OCTOPUS DEFINED . . Willie Dad, whats an octopus?

That Stays up in the Motor and Never Drains Away Use Ground Barley for' Fattening Steer Calves Ground barley In the fattening ration in the place of shelled corn gives very good results. It was found In a feeding experiment with fattening steer calves at the University of Minnesota in 1930. Other checks from a companion feeding experiment showed that when two pounds of cane mo-- , lasses replaced two pounds of shelled corn In the ration of shelled corn, linseed meal and alfalfa hay, the molasses failed to equal corn pound for pound In feeding value and resulted In lower profits. By substituting two pounds of molasses for tw pounds of ground shelled corn lit the ground mixed ration the consumption of feed was slightly increased ant the profit was also slightly Increased. Adding two pounds of moilasses per steer, per day to the ration of ground bailey (full fed), linseed meal and alfalfa bay failed to Improve the ration In any .way except to Increase total feed consumption and resulted in lower profits . Hogging Down Corn dairy farms spring litters of pigs are turned Into cornfields where they may help themselves to as much corn as they want. Other dairymen who also raise'swine could well consider the economies In this practice. One can make mistakes in hogging down corn. It is not good economy to turn a few hogs into a large field of com. They will get too much of It on the ground and not clean It up. Small fields or fenced off portions of large- fields are better. One can waste corn In another way by not having the proper protein supplement available. It takes too much corn for 100 pounds gain In this way. A simple mineral mixture Is also helpful In reducing the feed for 100 pounds gain.
