As the requirement for these different of live stock is a matter of knowledge to stockmen it only to see that it is Pr0" in abundance. Class III, the young and grow stock, most costly mistakes in occur. A full realization of that cheapest and most rapid gains in live stock are made with younger animals should do much toward obviating losses to farmers through insufficient and improper feed ing of such animals. The failure to put gains on animals during the grow ing period intended for them by na ture cannot be corrected by copious feeding at any later time. Their growth has been stunted, and rhrely will they fully recover from the ear lier setback. Even when they do it is a costly practice to put growth and flesh on a stunted animal, as compared to what could have been done when he was in a healthy and vigorous condi tion. But it is not necessary that young stock be fed as are fattening animals. Watch their feed troughs and see that all of the daily rations are consumed. Do not feed them in excess, but mako certain they are contented after efich feeding. See that the exercise lot is used daily and that clean water is provided. The failure to feed young stock properly will open the way for future serious troubles, and 90 stock man can afford to encourage such a practice, even during the winter months.—Department of Agriculture News Letter. TAKE CARE OF EWES DURING THE WINTER Important Duty to Perform to In sure Lamb Crop to Be Har vested in Spring. The winter care of the flock is im portant to insure a lamb crop to be harvested in the spring. Ewes in good condition need not be fed grain until about a month before lambing, when they should gradually be accustomed to it. Ewes in thin or poor condition should receive from one-fourth to one half pound of grain daily. Corn alone is not the best grain ration. A ration of six parts corn, three parts wheat bran, one part linseed oil cake, by weight, has proved very satisfactory. A ration of corn, oats and bran, equal parts by weight, can also be recom mended. The sheep should receive as much clover or alfalfa hay as they will eat. The amount of hay eaten can be cut down by use of corn silage or corn stover. Two pounds of clean, sweet corn silage can bo used to replace about one pound of hay. Well cured corn stover is also rel ished by the ewes. Ordinarily, there is little danger of the sheep eating too much of it, if hay is fed once a day. The greatest danger of corn stover comes from making it the exclusive feed. Clean salt and water should be kept before the flock. Sheep should al ways have a dry, well-bedded floor to lie on. EXCELLENT AS FEED FOR GROWING PIGS Experiments Show Skim Milk to Be Valuable Hog Feed—Builds Bone and Muscle. Skim milk is a most valuable hog feed. Experiment shows that it com pares with grain for a feed at the rate of six pounds of skim milk equal to one pound of grain. Its chief use should be as a supplemental feed for the growing pigs. It is a wonderful muscle and bone builder. To be sure, it can be fed to fattening hogs suc cessfully. Whether it be fed or not should be governed by the price of grain and the price and availability of skim milk. When it may be fed economically can be determined from the compara tive value: one of grain equals six of skim milk. When skim milk is fed to fattening hogs, it should be fed only as a part of the ration. Three pounds of skim milk to one of grain is the proportion usually recommended. In other words, balance up the ration. When the amount of skim milk to be had is limited, best results will follow giving it to the growing pigs, and supplement the fattening hogs’ ration with tankage in limited amounts.—Or ange Judd Farmer. Good Grooming. When a hor3e comes in after work sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth, and the dock. Wash his feet, but not his legs. Potato Spraying. Don’t use lime sulphur for spraying on potatoes. It reduces the yield and is not at all satisfactory. Use Bor deaux mixture. IEW YEARRESOLVES Don’t Plunge Hastly, but Con sider Carefully Promises You Make. By BILL VINES. BEWARE, gentle reader, for Jan uary 1 approaches. It Is time for you to begin to pause in your wild and woolly career for the nonce and consider wisely and wall, the particular style of good reso lutions that it is your firm purpose to put into immediate and drastic effect on that date. Do not plunge hastily into the matter, and waste a perfect ly good resolution. From my personal experience I know that it is a human weakness, in a moment of sentimental and safTron-hued regret, to tie oneself up so tight in an ironbound and ill considered New Year's resolution that it takes frequently till January 15 to separate oneself from it, and it can be done then only with considerable mental anguish and a badly lacerated conscience. I have on hand now a varied and general job-lot assortment of shop worn, good resolutions adopted unani mously by the committee on resolu tions at its annual meeting sometime between the 25th and 31st of Decem ber. None of these resolutions has been used long at a time. They are not frayed on the edges or wabbly in the bushing from excess of use. They look awfully good at this gladsome time of the year when one’s bank ac count appears delicate and remorse ful. This is the time fer a good reso I lution to make its strongest appeal to you. You survey the field with an anx ious and appealing eye, and look ing for comfort and succor. The good resolution steps blandly forward with a smile; bright and cheerful looking, with an open, honest face like the in sidious book agent it slips a blank into your ready and nerveless hand and says, 'sign here.” You are in no mental or physical condition to re fuse. You can't turn anything down, much less a good resolution. It ia likely the night before you could not even turn the bedclothes down, but probably rested your weary head on the pillow and spread your classic form over the hand-worked, snow white counterpane. You put your hand to your solid ivory, but throb bing nut, and try to recollect your thoughts. You mentally review the past and see nothing in it to cheer you up, not a single bright spot. On top of this someone sticks a package of letters under the door. You open them slowly, and there you find the gas bill, the coal bill, the rent bill, the grocery bill and you vainly attempt to calculate at what time next spring by the strictest economy and by cutting out cigars and highballs, you can reasonably expect your bank account to be convalescent. Score, 12 to 0 in favor of the good resolu tion. You try to remember if the good resolution now facing you looking so strong and vigorous has ever been in troduced to you before. It looks fa miliar somehow. Can it by any possi bility be the same good resolution that you fell for last year, wdiich gave promise of carrying you through the good year 1915 holding you firmly cn a permanent seat on the water cart and free from the nasty effects of King Nicotine? You recall with what joy you embraced said good resolution a year ago; how you fell upon its neck and clung to it in your hour of distress and brunette remorse. You reflect that it ought to be a good reso lution, because it is ‘Made in Amer ica,” but wit' more of less distrust you remember that something got wrong with it during the first inning, and it permitted you to "blow up” with the bases full and nobody out. " Away,” you mutter, “you are no good, you failed me once, aD* you will do so again.” Then you turn your bloodshot eye, both of them being that way, to the dresser and you behold the necktie given you by the wife of your bosom, and with a broken sob yea snatch the blank from the outstretched hand of “good resolution” and once more you are “on.” Listen—if you do it, and you will shut both eyes and hold on to that good resolution till the Fourth of July. Don’t look it .over, for if you do you'll observe its imperfections. Simply exercise the tenacity of a bull pup and hold on. If you last till, the Fourth it will be easier—at least 1 am told so.—Birmingham Age-Herald. jg .- — - ■ An (01b Knbiana Nfltt Isar (grating That yon may always have a tent and no sorrow as yon travel.

Noo Yeers is the time when a man takes off enuf time ter think what a fine feller he mite be if he was only a littul diffrent. Then he makes a lot of resolushuns and stands in front ot the mirror to see if there is a halo arownd his hed. The resolushuns pee pul make are like the toys you buy in the ten sent stoar; they don't last long. Another objekt of Noo Years is to giv the wine sellers and the cellars a chanct ter celebrate. On Noo Yeer’s eve everybuddy goes down town, where the Iites are britest, and sit arownd tabuls to wate for the yeer to brake in. When the clocks get to the rite place and al the waiters have been pade, the yeer comes in, and then everybuddy stands up and hollers or else blows horns. Why peepul should do this I don’t kno. unles it is that they don't want the year to think it has slipped in withowt enny buddy knowing it. The feeling on the moarning aftur Noo Year’s is respon sible ’or menny of the resolushuns. Pa sez that if evvury Noo Yeer’s reso lushun was kept, we wuddent hafter worry abowt wet and dry elecksliuns, but as the mattur stands nobuddy heers abowt eny bartenders being lade off the furst weke in Janyouary. Last Noo Yeer’s pa sed he would make a resolution and kepe it if ma would do the same, and that each could suggest the resolushun fer the othur, and ma sed all rite. Then you can resolve, sed pa, not to ask me w’hare I hav been when I come home late at nite. I guess that is a good one, isn't it, Eddie, he sed to me. Then ma told him what to resolve, which was this—you resolve not to go owt at nites for a yeer. Pa got pritty sere, you bet, and went and got a loryer friend to get up an argyment to prove that he didn't have to live up to the agreemunt, being as his resolushun ottymatically nullified hers, or sum thing like that. There was a strained atmusphere in owr howse for sum time, and now if there are eny Noo Yeer s resolushun, they are voluntary affares. The wurst thing abowt Noo Yeer's for a boy is that it Is the last day of Christmus vakashun, and for a man, that it is the day that the bils come in. I am too young to go to restaw runts to welcum in the yeer. but I am old er.uf to know that the best reso lushuns to make are to resolve not to do things I wuddent do ennyway. ASSIST THOSE AROUND US New Year a Good Time to Remember the Needy and Struggling Who Are Close to Home. All history teaches us that all condi tions change and that every war cloud must eventually pass away. It is the fervent hope and prayer of all nations that peace will come with 1916. Mean while every individual has his own plans for the new year and they are usually generous and kindly in pur pose; a universal spirit that explains the cheery hopes for the new year. True, it has been with many rather a strenuous and exacting time in plan ning gifts for the Christmastide out of the surplus of last year, but they will be none the less appreciated, be cause this year's benefactions possi bly represent a greater sacrifice than those of years past. Then, too, there have been heavy claims on American generosity for funds with which to send contributions for the millions of suffering, homeless and destitute pea pie abroad. But on New Year's day we should look more closely at home, and remem ber that around us are many that need help and assistance. There are thou sands of struggling men and women that need just now something in the way of encouragement and inspiration, to say nothing of a little financial boost here and there. The New Year has always been a popular holiday with me, because the greeting carries the word ‘ happy," and I wonder if happiness <s not, after all, what most of us are seeking. We work for it; we plan for it and ought to be thankful when we find it, and when you say “happy, ’ you must feel happy and look happy. The word “happy" comes from “hap,” and “hap” means chance—good fortune, and implies peace and joyous hours. What a slender thread be tween “happy” and “hapless,' and we feel on this occasion like using Shake speare's greeting, “All happiness be chance to thee.” We just stop and look at the word as ft stands out by itself and that is why it seems so ap propriate to have a little talk on “hap py” when we speak of the New Year.— Joe M.

A rule for putting up feed for winter use which will always hold good is to put up all you think you can use and then add 25 per cent more. In an oc casional year the surplus will not be fed, but in four years out of five the feeder is always glad to have the ex tra feed. Birds’ Hours of Slumber. Almost any casual observer will no tice that as twilight approaches there will be more or less activity among the various members of the bird family. Crows and blackbirds, for instance, have regular haunts, and as the sun nears the western horizon these birds may be seen flying in flocks toward certain orchards or groves. Some choose a thicket in a hollow with trees and bushes on all sides. Others select a lawn where shade trees stand. Frequently crows pick out a dark, deep hollow as tax from any human habitation as possible, wheie they form a sort of rookery. Crows and blackbirds are quiet ordinarily during the night. — ' V.

A woman from the pineland belt, who had seen a railroad only once and who had ridden into Atlanta’s Decatur street on her husband’s wag on. was arrested for talking back to an officer of the law. “She jabbered steadily for a half hour when I told her she must not stand so long squarely in the middle of the street," explained the officer who made the arrest. "I couldn't even get a word in edgewise. It was the most awful gab 1 ever heard.” Turning to the prisoner, the judge said: "What have you to say for yourself, madam?” "Couldn't help it, jedge,” responded the offender; “tried fo’ ter shet up, but th’ officer looked so much like my husban’ I jes’ couldn’t find th’ heart t’ stop!"—Case and Comment.

Three Hundred Million Bushel Crop in 1915 Farmers pay for their land with one year’s crop and prosperity was never so great. Regarding Western Canada as a grain producer, a prominent business man says: ^ “Canada’s position today is sounder than ever. There is more wheat, more oats, more grain for feed, 20% more cattle than last year and more hogs. The war market in Europe needs ® our surplus. As for the wheat crop, it is marvelous and a monument of strength for business confidence to build upon, exceeding the most optimistic predictions.” Wheat averaged in 1915 over 25 bushels per aero Oats averaged in 1915 over 45 bushels per acre i Barley averaged in 1915 over 40 bushelsper aero J Prices are high, markets convenient, excellent land, low in price either im proved or otherwise, ranging from $12 to $30 per acre.
