THE FODDER VAI.l'K OF SOYA MEAL
AND CAKE.
In transmitting- the following transla«
I tion of an article on soya meal and cake,
prepared by Nils Hansson of the Central
Institute for Agricultural Experiments,
Vice Consul Wllhelm Hartman of Gothen-
burg reports that all foodstuffs are care-
fully tested in Sweden, in order to find
their relative value and the prices that
can be profitably paid therefor: '
In connecTTon with the now concluded
experiments with soya meal and soya
cake, in outer to find Cieir value iva
cattle feed, a series of analytical tests
have been made by the managers of tli9
bureaus of chemistry located in the parts
of the country where the soya feeds have
already come to be extensively used have
also been submitted, so that the mean
figures give thP average result front
analyses of twenty samples. According
to these tests, the average composition
of the soya foodstuffs is as follows:
Soya Cake. Soya Meal.
Composition. Per Cent. Per Cent.
Water 11.11 11.56
Raw protein 43.29 45.48
Raw fat fi.10 1.88
Carbohydrates 34.04 3&.3S
Ashes 5.46 5.75
Total 300.00 100.00
Lately soya cake meal, sometimes
called hean gluten feed, has also appeared
in the market, and differs from ordinary
extracted soya meal so far that It con-
tains the same percentage of fat as the
soya cake.
By reason of their low percentage of
cellulose, which, according to the tests,
varies from 2.67 to 5.27 per cent, the sova
foodstuffs are highly digestible. In this
respect the sova cake seems to be some-
what better than the soya meal, but in
comparison with other fodder stuffs both
rank very high.
When the percentage of water has been
low enough, neither soya rak? nor soya
meal has undergone any changes during
four to five months' storage. On the
other hand, two samples of meal which
contained 15 per cent of water, and were
kept for some time, got moldy, and
showed signs nf decomposition. There-
fore, buyers should ho careful and see
to It that the moisture does r.ot exceed
13 or 14 per cent.
FEEDING EXPERIMENTS.
In the feeding experiments made, it
has been shown that soya cake as well as
soya meal are eagerly consumed by neat
cattle, and daily rations as large n>< '.yi
to 4.4 pounds have not caused any un-
favorable dietary effects. In this respect
the soya fodder stuffs seem to have a
slightly loosening effect, comparable to
that of good sunflower of peanut cakes.
Soya cake as well as soya meal has
higher fodder value than ordinary sun-
flower cake. and. through experiments, it
has been found that 0.90 kilo (1 kilo
equal to 2.2 pounds) of soya cake, or 0.!>5
kilo of soya meal. Is on an average an
equivalent substitute for 1 kilo of sun-
flower cake. On the two experimental
farms the soya cake gave nearly identi-
cal results, while the soya meal, by rea-
son of varying composition, gave figures
ranging from 0.01 to 0.0;> kilo. Counting
0.91 kilo of sunflower cake as one fodder
unit, the experiments have shown that
for practical purposes 0.85 kilo of soya
mea; or cake of usual composition can
be counted equal to one rodder unit.
With reference to the influence of the
soya fodder stuffs on the percentage of
fat in the milk, the results of the experi-
ments are conflicting. Some of them
show decrease, others increase. Tf we
compare the results here with the results
obtained in Germany, we are inclin d i<>
believe that the soya feedstuffs have
some tendency toward lowering the per-
centage of fat in the milk produced. st.H.
not in such a degree as to be of any
practical importance.
No change In the appearance or tasta
of the milk has been detected, but the
churning tests made in the summer time
have shown that the butter had a pro-
nounced fodder taste when large quan-
tities of soya meal or cake were used.
Therefore, at places where the milk is
utilised for the production of butter, (lie
daily ration of soya meal or cake given
to each cow should not exceed one-half
to three-fourths kilo.
With the limitation required on account
of the above-mentioned unfavorable ef-
fect on the tasle of the butter, soya meal
and cake may be considered as good feed-
stuffs for milch cows, and deserve the
farmers' attention, as they can be ob-
tained at a price somewhat lower than
that for good peanut cake, and not ap-
preciably higher than for sunflower cake.
British Imports.
Consul Itiifus Fleming- of Edinburgh,
furnishes the following information con-
cerning tiie increasing use of soya beans
in the oil cake mills of the I'nited King-
dom :
During the calendar year 1908 the im-
purts into the l nited Kingdom of these
(.hineAj beans amounted to 1l.s»> tons,
valued at $42*?,150. The imports in the.
eight months ending August 81. V.m,
amounted to 25f>.<.*.0 Ions, valued at $7,547,-
742. A prominent feature of the ocean
freight market at the present time id
the large number of stumers being char-
tered to carry beans from Dalny or
Vladivostok to the I'nited Kingdom in-
continent. From 20 to 30 vessels have
been chartered recently, and i< is re-
ported that at least 90 more will be re-
quired In the course of the season. It
Is estimated that the avcrflae cargo of
these vessels will be not lc?s than 6009
tons.
1 he imports of cotton seed into the
I'nited Kingdom in 1907 amounted to 087,-
f*5 tons, valued at $21,728,942, ai'd in 19<is
528,218 tons, valued at $17,608,<ij,7. The
1,nports for 1909. up to October 12, were
S08,3M tons, as compared with :)3i,ff7n and
485.385 tons for the mime periods in i90S
and 1907.
Soya-bean meal and cfike have come
largely into demand in Scotland :ts feed-
ing stuffs for cattle and sheep, and the
oil, of which the bean contains about 15
per cent, is used in soap manufacture,
and to some exten' (In a refined state)
in margarin establishments. Local deal-
ers in feeding stuffs differ as to the mer-
its of the soya cake and meal. Tho
weight of opinion is distinctly favorable
to their use. On the other hand, in July
last a suit was begun in the court of
session (supreme court of S> otland) bv
an Edinburgh dairyman against a mill-
. master for damages for the loss of 25
cows, said to have been poisoned by prus-
sic acid in soya bean meal. The defend-
ant avers that the death of the cattle
was not due to the feeding :;tnff. The ac-
tion has not yet tome to trial, but the
meal and cal;e still find an expanding
market here.
The prices at Leith, on October 15. of
soya beans and cotton seed and then-
products were as follows, per ton: Soya
beans, $31.63: Egyptian cotton seed, $39.02:
Bombay cotton seed. $31.02. Soya bean
cake. $31.02 to $31.63; KgypMan cotton seed
cake, $27.9.8; Bombay cotton seed cake.
$?3.7I'. Soya bean oil, $110.79; cotton seed

SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS
Of the Famous SPECIALIST
How to He Cured
L
'///////>
MY BEST REFERENCE IS,
UNTIL CURED,
THERE IS QUALITY IN EXPERIENCE
Experience is a thing- of quality as well as quantity. Years in practice are, no
true measure of a physician's skill. Medical specialists, as a rule, prlv'e promi-
nent mention to the number of years they have devoted to the practice of tho
various specialties. In this regard I do not differ from most other specialists. I
frequently state that I have practiced my specialty for 30 years. This is a thine:
of importance that cam be told in a few words. That's why I tell it so often. The
thing I now wish to tell about requires more space in telling-, and I may or may
not tell it more than this once. ,
Experience isn't worth much unless it has quality in it. In fact, it isn't worth
anything. It is just like ail other bad things—the greater the quantity the
more badness there is. I do not mean this as a personal reference to any doctor,
whether general practitioner or specialist. I merely make the statement because
it is the truth that has application here. To do a thing wrongly a thousand times
only fits one for doing it wrongSy again, and the oftener be does it wrongly, the
less apt he is to do it rightly. To treat a thousand patients indifferently and
carelessly doesn't make skill, but it adds indifference and carelessness. To treat
a thousand patients thoughtfully, carefully and conscientiously develops skill, a
thing of value to the physician himself, to every patient he may treat thereafter.
This is experience of quality. It is a kind of experience that can't be too great
In quantity, and is the kind of experience that I hav.e been constantly acquiring
for thirty years.
I have carried no moss-grown theories or methods with me. Others may clin^
to theories—I prefer truths. I have put thought and study into all my work
thn^ T might ascertain the truth and make my treatment scientific. I have felt
n personal interest in the welfare of my patiebts, and have treated them care-
fully and conscientiously. I have studied each case I treated. I have learned thft
truths that I have sought, and have made nrj treatment scientific. I attempt
to cure enly those cases that I am positively certain that I can cure, and the
diseases that I can cure and do cure are all diseases peculiar to the sexes. I
am able to cure them because of the quantity and quality of my experience.

YOUNG MEN
. The period between 15 and 30 years
of age is undoubtedly the most impor-
tant in a man's life. During this in-
terval are developed and matured the
Physical and Mental powers. Circum-
stances and surroundings have much
to do with the formation of character
and Individuality of the man, but to a
great extent the carving of the future
depends on himself. Any deviation
from or transgression of Nature's laws
may alter or change a whole future.
Hard work, long study, intemperance,
gambling, evil associates, etc., have
broken down many a hardy youth and
wrecked what promised to be a bril-
liant career. Temptation, dangers and
dissipations are everywhere, and it re-
quires discretion and strong will pow-
ers to resist them. Of all the evils
besetting our young men, none is
more prevalent and destructive than
dissipation, and the poor victims find
out when too late that they have
made fatal errors. I see the victims
oh every hand. The sallow, pimpled
face, dark-circled eyes, stooping
form, stunted development, bashful,
melancholy countenance and bearing
proclaim to all the world his folly, and
if neglected ultimately lead 'to a
premature and untimely end.
MIDDLE-AGED MEN
The springtime of youth with you has
passed. Life is now a sober reality. Ex-
perience has been your best teacher.
You are wiser and can look back over
your past life and point out the mistakes
you have made. You see. fee] and under-
stand differently now. For some of the
sins of your youth you have no doubt al-
ready paid the penalty. You have drifted
along, relying on Nature and a robust
constitution to carry you through. Dissi-
pation has been added to your list of
transgressions. Private and Blood dis-
eases have ravaged your system and un-
dermined your health. Weakness, Back-
ache, Nervousness, caused by dissi-
pation. are hindering your success
and have made your life a miser-
able existence, devoid of all happiness.
You know in your own mind that you are
not the man you should be. You lack the
energy, confidence and personal magnet-
Ism which are so precious to every
man. and which go to make up perfect
manhood. Your neglect has developed
such ailments as Varicocele, Debility.
Stricture, Blood Poison and innumerable
other maladies, which are dragging you
down, filling your life with misery, suf-
fering and woe. You are old before your
allotted time, but if you will awaken to a
realization of your true condition and take
steps to have it remedied there are yet
many golden years in store for you.
OLD MEN
You have reached the pinnacle of
manhood, and are now on the dcscent
to the river of death. There is no
turning back. You have crossed the
long bridge of life and are now on the
third and last span. The journey has
been full of trials and tribulations,
with just enough happiness to make
it worth the living for. You have seen
Nature's Triple Punishment—Sickness,
Decay and Dea,th—meted out to every
transgressor of her laws. The pitfalls
have been many, your comrades have
faltered and fallen at every step. The
ambitions of your youth are now ful-
filled, you have gold in plenty. You
have worked bard to attain this end,
and contemplated taking- a long rest
and enjoying much happiness when it
had been accomplished. But your long
neglected health is giving away, Blad-
der and Prostatic afflictions are break-
ing your rest, your vital organs—the
Heart, Lungs, Kidneys and Nervous
System—-are worn out and exhausted.
You realize when too late the mistake
you have made. Tha health you so lit-
tle appreciated is now more precious
to you than all your gold. I can not
make you young agr.in. but I can help
you. I can bring back the old-time
vigor, energy and power, strengthen
the overworked organs, enable you to
enjoy happiness and rest, and prolons
your life for many years to come.

Labor Troubles
in Germany
Consul General Prank Dillingham of
Coburg furnishes the following statistics
from government returns just published,
covering the strikes and lockouts in the
German empire in 1008:
The unfavorable' economic conditions
which affected all branches of industry
during 1908 are noted in the labor statis-
tics" the number of strikes shows a con-
siderable decrease, viz: In 1908, 1347
asainst '-266 and 331S in 1907 and 1906, re-
spectively. In looking over the statistics
for the last ten years it is noticeable that
only in 1899, 1901 and 1902 were there ffjwer
strikes than in 1908.
More than one-half the strikes took
place in Prussia, viz, 692, followed by 165
iii Bavaria and l-"4 in Saxony, leaving for
all other parts of Germany 336.
The strikes in 1908 concerned 4774 facto-
ries, with 199,371 employes. Of the fac-
tories, 1214 were brought to a complete
standstill. Of the strikers, 68,392, those
under 21 years numbered 10,674. Of tha
total number of strikers, 47,798 were free
to stop work, but the remainder, 20,594,
broke their contracts by striking. Em-
ployes who were compelled by the strikers
to stop work numbered 7405.
In 1908 the strikes and strikers for in-
creased wages numbered 1106 and 53,856,
respectively, while the remainder, 211
strikes and 14,536 strikers, were in pro-
test of decreased wages.
In the distribution of strikes last year
the largest number was in the building
trades with 429 strikes, and 19,66"; strikers
out of' 39,189 employes. Those of longest
duration were in the textile and stone
and earth industries. In the first indus-
trv 16 7 per cent, and in the latter in-
dustry 10 per cent of all the strikes con-
tinued over 100 days. Strikes of a longer
duratlon than fifty days occurred in the
stone and earth industry, in the metal-
workintr industry, in the machine. Instru-
ment and apparatus industry, !n thp lum-
ber and woodworking industry, in the tex-
tile industrv. in the food and delicacy in-
dustry! and in the building trades.
Of the 1347 strikes, 206 were successful,
4X7 partly successful and 704 unsuccessful.
Of the 68,392 strikers, 7366 were successful,
38 429 partly successful and 32,598 unsuc-
cessful. These figures emphasize the un-
favorable economic conditions which pre-
vailed in Germany in 1908, for only once
in the last ten years was the percentage
of unsuccessful strikers less than in 1908;
that year was 1901. Of the 1347 strikes in
1908, 958 were ended through negotiation,
viz: Four hundred and ninety-seven by
the parties directly concerned without,
outside help, 63 before courts and 398.-by
labor associations or third parties. The
police and the solicitor general's office
also interested themselves in settling tho
strikes.
The lockouts in 190S numbered 177, af-
fecting 1758 factories and 43,718 employes,
against 246 lockouts, affecting 5287 fac-
tories and 129,563 employes, in 1907. The
number of employes locked out was 43,718
in 1908 and 81,167 in 1907. Of the total
lockouts in 1908, 91 took place in the Prus-
sian provinces, 24 in Bavaria, 15 in Sax-
ony and 12 in Baden. The mining in-
dustry was the only important industry
which had no lockouts in 1908.
Almost one-half the lockouts occurred
In the building trade, but the largest
number of employes affected was In the
machine, instrument and apparatus indus-
try.
Of the 177 lockouts, 56.5 per cent were
successful, 39 per cent were adjusted
(partly successful), and 4.5 per cent not
successful.
PRIVILEGE OF THE BUYER.
Could View His Windows as Long
as He Wished.
In a French village a citizen had upon
his land a part of an old building con-
taining two very beautiful windows. He
was in debt and embarrassed and eagerly
closed with the offer of a rich archae-
ologist. who bought them. Thereupon
the government Inspector, hearing of the
bargain, arrived just in time to stop the
masons from dislodging the windows.
"You can not," he said to the villager,
"sell ahtictuities. my man." "But. excel-
lency. I have used the money and paid
my creditors." The villager was in de-
spair. but the official was untouched.
"That's all right," he said, "the money is
safe; the windows are no longer yours.
But the buyer can't move a stone of
them. He can, however, come with a
camp stool and sit down and look at his
property as much as he likes."
OLD SORES
Every old sore is an external symptom of a depraved or polluted con-
dition of the blood. These festering places on the flesh are kept open and
in a state of irritation because the circulation is continually discharging into
them the impurities and morbid matters ywith which it is filled. This pol-
luted condition of the blood may be the remains of some constitutional
trouble; the effect of along spell of sickness, which has left the bloodstream
weak and germ-infected, or because the natural refuse of the body, which
should pass off through the proper avenues, has not all been eliminated
and has been absorbed into the circulation. External treatment may
cause the place to scab over temporarily, but the blood is not made any
purer by such treatment, and soon the sore will return or break out at
another place and be as bad or worse than before. S. S.S. heals old sores
by removing every particle of impurity from the circulation. It goes down
to the very bottom of the trouble and bo completely changes the circulation
that there is no longer any impurity to drain through the sore, but the
place it once more nourished with rich, healthful blood. S. S. S. heals the
sore from the bottom, the skin regains its natural color, and when S. S.S.
has thoroughly cleansed and purified the blood the place is permanently
healed. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free to all who
