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.

AN ESSAY ON “NOO YEAR’S”
Little Eddie Gives His Reasons for
the Annual Holiday and its
Celebrations.
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. Chappie in National Magazine.

Put Up Extra Feed.
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.

HADN’T THE HEART TO STOP
Woman’s Naive Explanation as to the
Reason for the Very Much One
Sided Gabfest.
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.
One on the Lawyer.
A man entered the office of a promi

addressing the lawyer in a quick tone,
said, “K—, I want you to tell me, is
it legal for a man to marry his wid
ow’s sister?”
“Why,” said the attorney, “that
question never occurred to me before.
I’ll look it up.” He started to reach
a legal tome from a high shelf—in
fact, had his hand upon a hook—when
the drift of the question flashed upon
him. and the book of law quickly flew
from the attorney’s hand at the head
disappearing through the office door
way.
Continual Disappointment.
“I know a clergyman,” stated Grout

them to tandem, with the thumb of
the lead hand touching the little finger
of the wheel hand and the thumb of
the latter touching his nose. He has

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. Free homestead
lands are plentiful and not far from railway lines and convenient to good
' schools and churches. The climate is healthful.
