He described bis unique depart-
ment In his workshop, surrounded by
an endless series of laboratory Instru-
ments, ovens, graduated scales and
queer tubes and pipes where every-
thing under the sun Is concocted and
cooked up, to see bow many calories,
bow much nitrogen and bow much en-
ergy It will give the human body when
It's eaten.
In the laboratory Is a respiration
calorimeter, a chamber In which
Uncle Sam's scientists put subjects to
measure the energy wbicb tbe subject
gives off while he Is engaged In dif-
ferent tasks and while fed different
diets of food.
Tbe apparatus Itself Is six and a
half feet square an'd of the same
height. There is a window la tb*
side to permit light for reading or
studying, a couch, to permit tbe sub-
ject to lie down; a pipe through
which air enters, and another through
which it Is expelled. Tbe expelled air
Is caught and Its -components ana-
lyyzed. tor part of the food you eat
Is expelled with every breath.
WASHINGTON.—If you want to
know your exact horsepower and
the amount of energy you~can gen-
erate under any given condition, call
on Professor Langworthy at the
chemistry bureau, department of ag-
riculture, and he can give you the an-
swer. He can register your horse-
power as easily as the engine manu-
facturer rates bis englnee.
To Professor/Langworthy the hu-
man body Is but a machine. He Is
the chief of division of nutritive In-
vestigations, and solves the probleme
of food values. Like any other en-
gine. the human body has a maxi-
mum cspaclty of so many foot pounds
or energy, and to generate this, a cer-
tain amount of fuel In the form of
food is necessary. Doctor Langwor-

FEO i SILAGE
HENRY JOHNSON OP CHICKASHA
REALIZE* .THE DREAM 0* —
TWELVE DOLLAR BEEP-
NOW IISIN6 FIFTEEN BIB SILOS
Thirty of His 2-Year-Old Angue Steers,
Fed On allege, Took First Prise
at Fort Worth snd Brought
Fancy Price From Swift. .
(By Victor H. Schoffelmayer.)
. Fifteen silos, ranging In - capacity
from 200 to 260 tons, will be in use
this year on the ranch of Henry B.
Johnson of Chickasha, the most im-
portant cattle feeder In the Southwest
aad one of thb best known cattlemen
la the country. Six silos were filled
on the ranch last year and steers
made such big gains oa silage com-
bined with other feeds to make a bal-
anced ration that Mf. Johnson decided
to treble his silo capacity. Among the
steers which were fed silage last year
waa a herd of 30 Aberdeen Angus
fsed while It Is being mixed and also -
la a protection from the cold la the
winter. The nine new slloe erected
this summer will be similarly housed, y
exoept that the silos will form the
oorners of the building. The olio
sheds will faoe the great alfalfa bane,
which have a total length of 140 feet
aad an 76 feet wide "and hare a ca-
pacity of 900 tone of her. The olio
capacity of the Johnson ranch, with
the completion of the nine aew ones,
will be 3,600 tons, and thle will be
mostly kaflr and corn silage and will
be fed to some 8,000 to 4,000 steers
this winter. There are >6,000 acres '
In the Johnson ranch, of which 400 an
alfalfa.
Erected Silos In a Hurry.
Mr. Johnson erected his alios lata
and had to hurry to flUtham. Into
the flrst two he put corn and Into the
last Jtour kaflr, milo and cane. The
feed'kept well and waa started food-
lag October 4th. To ono pan of >00
two-year-old steers he fed a ration of
26 pounds corn silage and four pouada
of cotton seed meal for sixty days.
They were Hereford cattle aad did
well. A herd of Aberdeen Aligns two-
year-olds wore also fed the same rer -
tlon. A bunch of white face yearllnga
were also fed about the same ration.
At the end of sixty daya all the oorn
silage was used and kaflr ifcd caae
was fed, to which was added- a ration
of 8 pounds of corn meal aad 0 to 10
pounds of cotton seed hulls aad the
cotton eeed meal waa laereaaed to S
Grand champion oteere fattened on silage by H. B. Johnson of Chickasha

Old "Mammy" Is Entertained by Secretary McAdoo
FOLK who know William Olbbs Mc-
Adoo, secretary of tbe treasury,
as an austere, dignified person would
hare been surprised tbe otber after-
noon to see him standing In tbe big
reception room of bla olAce In the
treasury department engaged in an
Intimate conversation on childhood
episodes with an old colored mammy.
After It waa over the aecretary frank-
ly confessed be juet had enjoyed the
most pleasurable visit he'd bad since
he entered tbe cabinet
The old mammy waa Julia Qlbson
mother of seventeen children and who
still lives In the McAdoo home town.
She came to the treasury department
to call on the secretary, and not only
waa sbe received, but abe waa enter-
tained for more than an hour while a
crush of bualness snd visitors, as well
aa treasury oOciala. waited.
Incidentally the secretary Is treasur-
ing what he believes to be an Invalu-
able memento of Aunt Julla'a visit.
She left with him an old-faabloaad
brown daguerreotype of hla mother
and father that Aunt Julia and ber
mother had preaerved for perbape
half a century. It waa to preeent this
gift that Aunt Julia called. Her moth-
er waa tbe "mammy" of the secretary
during his babyhood and childhood.
Aunt Julia departed with a picture
of tbe building autographed aad with
a measage from the secretary telling
of the joy ber vlelt cauaed.

price ever pefd In the Southwest.
Their average weight was 13C0 pounda

came originally from the herd of
James W. Knox of Jackaboro, Texaa.
Mr. Johnaon's cattle have won eweep-
stains and grand champlonahlp prizes
for the laat six years and he holda
tbe record for top prices at four mar
kets—Kansas pity, St Louia, St.
Joaeph and Fort Worth. Hia steera

mand a premium.
Since leeSlng allage Mr. Johnaon
has Inorsascd his profits 910 on each
steer he sends to msrket His Invest-
ment In the six silos Is 93.900. He fed
the contents to 1,100 steers, on each
of which ho made about 910, leaving
him a profit of (10,800 or a net profit
of 97,600 after tbe alios had been paid
for. He says there Is no other way
to make such a saving fsedlng cattle.
His alios are of the stave type. Hr.
Johnson has erected a galvanised Iron

Little Combination that Will
In Oklahoma
Here Is a combination which, If ap-
plied generally In Oklahoma, will at
once put the state at the top of the
list of states la agricultural produc-
tion.
The owner of a quarter eectlon of
land wbo owns a silo and haa Ave
acres Irrigated for a garden can raise
products each year that haver a vlue
of 94.000. If each of the 190,000 farms
of Oklahoma were similarly equipped,
then the annual value of livestock
and agricultural products would reach
the otupendous sum of 9760,000,000!.
