There is a possibility, we

Great Wall Failed to
Stabilize Chinese Border
China's Great Wall was built ovej
2,000 years ago to protect north
China from warlike Mongols and to
stabilize the frontier between nom
ad aud farmer. It failed to do ei
ther. Under the ruthless Genghis
Khan (1167-1224) Mongol hordes
carved out an empire which, under
his grandson, the fabulous Kublai
Khan of Marco Polo's day, stretched
from Poland to the Pacific and from
India to the Arctic.
Recent years have witnessed a re
versal of history, for a peaceful
northward "invasion" of Inner Mon
golia by Chinese farmers has been
taking place. Of the estimated
five million population, about four
million are Chines. They farm the
better-watered areas or live as mer
chants in the few towns like Wan
chuan, important meeting place of
railroad and caravan routes in Cha
har province. Chinese farms pro
duce mainly wheat, millet, beans
buckwheat and oats.
The Mongols, divided Into tribes
called "khans" or "banners" and
ruled by hereditary leaders, roam
the wide grasslands in a constant
search for new pasturage. Grass is
indirectly their staff of life, for the
sheep, horses, camels and cattle
which feed on the grass are the
nomad's sole support. Milk, butter
and cheese are the chief foods of
his Unbalanced diet. Animals pro
vide food, clothing, transportation,
bartering power and fuel for him.
The importance of grass is seen in
the favorite Mongol greetings: "Is
the pasturage with you rich and
abundant?" and "Has rain fallen in
your neighborhood?"
Higher Butterfat Yield
Boosts Dairyman's Return
On the basis of figures obtained
in dairy-herd-improvement associa
tions in 1944, a dairyman owning a
herd of 20 cows with an average
butterfat production of approxi
mately 200 pounds will have a total
income over feed costs of $1,560, or
20 times $78, the difference in the
value of the milk sold and cost of
feed.
If his herd had an average
production of 300 pounds of butter
fat per cow, the dairyman's total
income over feed cost would be
$2,880 (20 times $144). A herd of 20
cows with an average production of
400 pounds would yield a total in
come over feed cost of $4,160.
Eight cows with an average butter
fat production of 400 pounds would
yield a greater total income over
feed cost than 20 cows averaging
oruy 200 pounds per cow.
Sharkskin First Abrasive
The first abrasive in sheet form
was shark skin originally used in
the 12th century, comments "The
Painter and Decorator." The
Chinese, a hundred years later, at
tached powdered sea shells to parch
ment with natural gums to make a
crude sandpaper. Later the Swiss
used ground glass coated to a hide
for wood finishing. Sand and glass
were glued to paper on a commer
cial scale in England about 300
years ago and in 1825, the first sand
paper factory was established in
this tfountry, making glass-coated
sandpaper. Abrasive grains used
today are not sand but crystolan
(silicon carbide), alundum (alumi
num oxide), garalum (aluminum
oxide), and others. All of these syn
thetic abrasives are products of the
electric furnace and in hardness ap
proach that of the diamond.
Indian Summer
Indian summer is the period of
warm weather which occurs with
more or less regularity each au
tumn. Its time of occurrence, how
ever. Is extremely erratic and its
duration variable. In this country It
usually comes in late October or
early November. The atmosphere is
hazy, there is a redness in the sky
and an absence of rain. A similar
condition of weather is frequently
observed in central Europe. One
explanation of the name here is that
American Indians took advantage
of the warm spell following the
early autumn frosts for harvesting
their corn. Another reason given is
that Indians, who did not attack the
colonies in severe weather, were af
forded another opportunity to make
war on the settlers. Daniel Web
ster said early colonists used the
name because they ascribed its pe
culiar features of beat and haze lo
the burning of the prairies by the
Indians at that time.
Protect Furs
Don't let your furs get wet if it
can be avoided; but if they do, hang
them in a cool, dry place for drying
never near a heat outlet or fire
place. If your coat has been badly
wetted several times, it is best to
take it to the cleaner. See
your cleaner if you notice the slight
est sign of moths. A professional
cleaning will kill all forms of moth
life, eggs and larvae and will pre
vent damage to the fur. A good
practice is to shake your coat gently
both before and after each wearing
to fluff out the fur. Protect it from
sunlight, which is one of the worst
enemies of furs. Have your fur
coat cleaned at least once a year,
preferably before it is stored in the
spring. A reliable cleaner will give
It a thorough "Inspection, pointing
out its condition In order to protect
himself from responsibility for dam
ages not his fault that might be
claimed later. .
Mulching Garden
Mulching the vegetable gardes
Will help conserve the moisture in
the soil, keep plants from drying out
and aid in keeping down weed
growth.
