FINISH ANIMALS FOR MARKET
Horses, Cattle and Some Classes of
Sheep Can Be Fed Quantities
of Roughage.
Animals being fattened for market
and animals duriug the first year of
their growth should not bo exacted
to consume lurge quantities of cheap
roughage, bnt horses, cattle and soma
classes of sheep that are b<*ing car-
ried through the winter can be fed
rations carrying appreciable quantiti*
of cheaper roughage, provided they
are projierly supplemented with nltrog
enous feeds of the right sort, such us
leguminous hays or linseed or cot-
tonseed meal.
PROPER WAY TO FEED SHEEP
During Stormy Weather Feed Them
in Shed in Long Manger Con-
structed for That Purpose.
Never feed straw and hay to the
sheep by throwing It down In heaps
on the ground, but have a long rack
for the purposw; and when it Is
stormy do not allow them to stay out,
but feed them Inside the shed in a
long manger made for the purpose
LIVE STOCK NOTES
A tahlespoonful of blood meal mixed
with a little milk Is very good for a
calf that has diarrhea or other diges-
tive disturbance. It Is highly nu-
tritious for a weak calf, too,
• • •
The keeping In repair of wire
fences is necessary on the stock farm
and so the wire stretcher is a handy
tool, both in repairing and building
new fences.
• • •
■When oats cost no more than half
ns much as corn the swine division
of the University of Illinois recom-
mends they can be fed profitably to
hogs.
• • •
nogs are very sensitive to wind
and cold at night nud will suffer just
as much as a cow or horso in cold
open houses.
• • •
The best results from feeding skim
milk to pigs are obtained when about
three pounds of It are fed for each
pound of grain.
a e •
Silage-fed cattle shed their coats
better In the spring and gain quicker
ind faster than those fed dry rough-
age.
• • •
Clover Is an Ideal forage for pigs,
particularly the young growth com-
ing on after the wheat Is harvested.
• • •
Knsllage Is good stuff to have, but
!t Is not an all-around feed. Some hay
ind a bit of grain should go with It.
• • •
Calves will nibble at hay when they
iro not more than a week old.
• • •
Cleanliness Is quite essential for the
calf Indoors.
• • •
Plenty of bedding Is needed for
the calf.
The White Year
By OT1LL1A FRANCES PFEJFFER
A CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAM.
Ktowrlfkt. ml*. k; WhIiii Nximhi CaJoai
At the age of twenty-two, acting un-
der an Impetuous impulse he could not
restrain, Walter Merrill wrote a let-
ter to the girl he loved, confessing
his affection and asking that she award
him happiness or heartbreak accord-
ing as she reciprocated his fervent de-
votion or did not, as the case might
be. There came no reply. As If ut-
terly disdainful of his plea, he learned
that Myrtle Farr had started away on 1
a visit to a relative at some distance. |
Merrill was a being of deep sensitive-
ness. He vanished completely from [
Bayvllle and his motivo and where- |
abouts became a mystery to his for-
mer friends.
Ills gloomy fnce made no new
friends, his half-hearted interest in |
seeking employment discouraged at- i
tentlon. Very soon his surplus money
was gone. Idleness led to dissipation. I
He sank lower and lower, nnd at the '
end of a few months was a street wan-
derer and his companions men of reck- j
less mold.
His eyes were bleared, his clothing
In tatters, his gwlt unsteady, as one
day crossing a street the sharp toot
of an automobile horn caused him to 1
look up. Two ladles in the machine i
were agonlzedly screaming to their
Chauffeur. Directly In the path of
the auto a little child wag rolling her
doll carriage.' Merrill made ti leap, j
Not a second too soon he snntched the |
Imperiled child from her position, |
swung her spinning to one side, and
himself stumbled and fell.
There Was a contact, dull And dead-
ly, and Merrill disappeared under the
body of the vehicle. Then as It backed
he lay in a pool of blood, his face
bruised and cut, his eyes closed and
his body rigid.
It was like a transition into a new-
sphere to the Injured man to recover
sensibility amid comfort and cleanli-
ness. He wns alone In bed In a half-
darkened room, but the door commu-
nicating with the adjoining apartment
was ajar and he could discern that
several persons were there. A feminine
voice spoke, gentle nnd quite anxious.
"He will live, doctor?" It intoned.
"Oh, yes, there Is nothing wrong of
s serious nature outside of the lower
part of both limbs."
"ne can bear removal to a hos-
pital"—began the doctor.
"No," spoke Miss Althea Darrow,
and the negative was enforced strong-
ly by her sister, Mnrcla. "We owe
to this man not only money repara-
tion, but sympathy and care. He is
poor, perhaps homeless. Sister and I
will give him a home until he has en-
tirely recovered."
Some new emotions came to Walter
Merrill as he heard himself thus com-
mended. He learned that the two
spinsters were ladles with meaas, given
to deeds of charity. They lived well,
and as he got about In an Invalid's
chair, a room on the ground floor was
fitted np for him. Dally he was wheel-
ed out Into the garden. Bvery-
body seemed glad to be of help to him.
Kindness toned down his ruggedness
and reckless Indifference.
At first, until his Injured limbs re-
covered their original strength Merrill
acted as chauffeur for his thought-
ful patronesses. Then his quick In-
telligence recommended him to them
for a trustworthy position of looking
after their property. He attended to
rents and repairs, nnd nothing was
pleasanter than the frequent trips
from placc to place, and very often
the little child whose life he had saved
as his welcome companion.
One day—Walter Merrill never after-
ward forgot that eventful occasion—
on a business mission he came within a
few miles of Bayvllle. The tempta-
tion to see the old town was Irresist-
ible. He was driving the machine
slowly down a tree-shaded street
when a lad of about sixteen abruptly
darted from the sidewalk, shouting his
name.
"Oh, Mr. Merrill I" he hailed. "Please
please. Just a- moment." Then he
added breathlessly: "Oh! you must
come to our house right away.
Alice wants to see yon! and at once."
Merrill well remembered Alice
Wayne. She had always evinced a
predilection for his company, but love
he had never thought of. Merrill won-
dered at the earnestness of the ex-
cited lad. ne drove the machine to
the Wayne home. His guide led him
Into the house. Merrill was shocked
as he saw upon a couch the girl who
had been a blooming beauty when last
he had seen her. Disease and suffer-
ing had wasted her away, and death
was in her face.
An infinite relief was expressed In
that wan face as Alice Wayne clasped
the hand of Merrill fervidly.. She sent
her brother from the room. Then
came a confession that amazed her
visitor. Alice confessed that she had
destroyed a letter Myrtle had given
her to mail, the non-arrival of which
hnd started him upon the downward
path. When a fatal disease had over-
come her she had suffered from In-
credible remorse. She had sent for
Myrtle and had confessed the truth.
Now, with feeble brenth she Insisted on
■ending for her girl friend that the
(treat wrong she had wrought should
be mended.
All along Myrtle Farr had loved and
mourned for Merrill. His confession
soon brought about a perfect under-
■tandlng. Redeemed by his "white
year." Myrtle Farr had no fear to de-
ter her from trusting%er happiness to
bis loving care.

It Is even more Important to avoid

greater than in the case of an older
