He went straight in the direction of the
doctors house.
Rob Hillard had hurt his foot sliding
down Hill, and Sam May had dislocated
his thumb, and they were both at the
doctor when Johnnie came in.
Here's two dollars for my sister S
crutches,' he said, solemnly.
" Where did you get two dollars,

added, and burst out of the house.
Rob looked at Sam, and Sam looked
at Rob, and the Decor looked at both
of them, and then all three began to
talk at once.

next day, "my fathers got a job for
you, and oh! the doctor says stop for
the crutches on your way home"
Margie was looking out of the win
dow, and she saw johnnie walk up the
street in a solemn way, quite unlike
himself.
No sooner had he disappeared than a
dozen boys rushed into the yard,
nodded pleasantly to her, and fell to
work mysteriously. Before long a
snowman began to rise on the scene,

of Here he comes!' and they all scud-
ded behind the house.
ltwas strange Johnnie did not feel hap
pier after getting those crutches! He
knew he ought to, but somehow
couldn't. He trudged along with his head
bent and his crutches dragging in the
snow. He did not even look up when he
entered the yard, until he went bump
against something!

ST RAW.
The Use of Straw as Food for Cattle and
Because of Its Manurial Value.

Because of Its Manurial Value.
The question is asked if straw has any
important food value, and whether it
would not be better to use it wholly as
bedding and to increase the manure
pilep
This view was prevalent with farmers
few years ago, and especially was
this held by English farmers. With
them straw was regarded as only val.
liable to litter yard and make manure.
These views arose from a misunder-
standing of food elements, and the val
liable elements of manure.
Straw contains so little albuminoid
matter to grow the muscles, and phos-
phate of lime to build the bones that it
was properly considered poor food in
the light of a complete ration, but,
when considered as partial food
to be supplemented by other
food which balances its def
ciencies, it is found to have an impor-
tant value as cattle food Its principal
value as food is in its digestible carbo-
hydrates Chat is, composed of carbon
and the elements of water) which fur
nish the food to produce animal heat, a
very important part of food.
Now, in the hands of skillful feeder,
who knows what food to give with straw
to make up its deficiencies, it is worth
more than half as much as good hay
A ton of oats straw mixed with ton Of
the best clover hay. would make mix
ture equal in value to ordinary meadow
hay. And 400 pounds of linseed or cot
ton seed meal mixed with a ton of straw
would give 2, 400 pounds OF fodder, equal
in value to 2,400 pounds of meadow or
timothy hay. This gives an important
focu value to straw, and the point to be
we'll considered is, that nearly all that is
digested in straw has no value as ma
nure. Nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash are the only valuable manure
elements, and scarcely any one of these
are digested in straw; so that straw is
practically as valuable as manure when
fed as when not fed. Straw should be
used as food and all its value saved

HIS RIGHTS,

> Small Boy Who Knew His Rights and
Determined They Should BE Respected.
Big men are not always just or gen
erous, and many times the small boy is
q sufferer at their hands. Sometimes
the big man is cross because he has
eaten too much dinner-the small boy
will understand now how uncomforta-
bic he feels-and he is too big to cry he
vents his i'll humor, many times, on the
first small boy who comes in his way
Now, you know that some people think
that if you eat too much meat you will
become savage, and, rs this man who
was unjust to the small boy was a
butcher, perhaps he had eaten so much
that he had become in part a savage.
In one of the police courts uptown, in
New York, one morning not long since,
very small boy, in knickerbockers,
appeared. He had a dilapidated cap in
one hand and green cotton bag in the
other. Behind him came big police
man. with a grin on his face When
the boy found himself in the court
room he hesitated and looked as if he
would like to retreat, but as he half
turned and saw the grin on his escort s
face, he shut his lips tighter and me-
andered up to the desk.
please, sir, are you the Judge?" he
asked, in voice that had queer little
culver in it.
Il am, my boy; what can l do for

wonderingly down at the mite before
him.

The big policeman and the spectators
began to laugh boisterously, and the

violently with mingled Indignation and

bag ratified together.

has returned to capital punishment,
