[o^ in the highest Alps in central ^ the lthlne reaches the North ifter n Journey of K50 ndles, and list iuirt of Its course is through a Untl whose surface Is below the ?'? crest. The river gathers Its wa if it the base of melting glaciers, over meat rock masses toward loner levels^'uts through the wild mountain valley,, traverses a won jl high, broad plain, and then, en if Us famous gorge, wanders thru islte panoramas, thru a laue ev* here mantled with ruins of lds w castles, abbeys, churches and ev-. foot of Its way -celebrated hy or history. After emerging from gorge, it Hows thru a plain where iverful steel, textile and chemical ifastrics center. Thru Germany and rami, the Rhine forms the prlncl lt water avenue of central and west I Europe. nuuL, an enornious com Kite is carried thru its ports. ftp Rhine is international. It is <11 Ifcl between Switzerland, Germany jd Holland. That part df the river M lies In Germany, 450 miles in igth. has been most disputed. The Iwoh have laid claims to its left it k on the grounds that the'Rhintf Snne?l the boundary line of Roman ' Gaul. Though the Hoiuau empire reached out l>eyond the brotul Hhlno. the jrlvor formed, nevertheless, its of-, feetlve barrier against the mirth bur barlans. However, when the realm of Charlemagne wan divided ami the h mmlarlea of VerdflTT established, ?he Hhlno became wholly the property of Germany. ami France early began centuries long imllcy of wlnulcg tlu Mtreaiii back again. t\?iui lete smvoss crowned tbln policy umler the Nu|m> leonie eiuplre, the Ithlue been me once more the boundary of Haul. The 0or? mans rcassumod sovereignty of their i 'loved Father Hhlno after 1N71. anil In the present war the imjhscssIoii of the historic liver Ik one of the most critical questions. The Hhlno, like .a mighty tree hi form, receives its waters from count loss tributaries, and gives tlieui up to the sea through Innumerable offshoots. Its principal source issues from gla elal loo 7,271 feet above the sea with in the ooutlnos of the moat Independ-: out canton In Switzerland. On its way, the Hhlno Is fed directly and Indirect* ly, by 12,000 tributaries, and It drains more than 75, ooo square miles. Where the Hhlno Is navigable from 1 ingle, It Is about 000 feet broad, and for the smallest river boats, navigation be gins hero. There is a project to make the Hhlno navigable from ltaslo to its source for larger lighters and small steamboats. Since 1S08, Hhlno navi gation has been free, and Its river jH>rts do a commerce with all parts of the civilised world. ? Lovers of natural beauty mention the German Hhlno and the American Hudson In the same breath. The Hhlno, however, has many traits In common with the American Mississip pi. It is Europe's ' most Important river, it drains one of the greatest In dustrial regions on earth, and It Is one of the main factors In German commercial development. Moreover, the great timber rafts uikui the Mis sissippi, as Mark Twain describes them, can be seen in season floating down the Hhlne. Some of these rafts are 800 feet In length, and are guided th?wtt the river by more thnn 200 men. who live upon them In little huts, a whole village adrift. They closely re semble the rafts whlCh Huck Finn met in his travels down the American river. , Dairy cows should be fed all the roughage' they will eat up clean and as much other feed as they will con sume without taking on weight.
