STOCK ITEMS,

Whenever pigs begin to eat they
should have q place arranged whero
they can be fed to themselves
It is not advisable at any time to
keep the breeding animals with those
that are being fattencd for market
Sheep are good fertilizers, good farm
scavengers and yield two good crops in
a year. and ougdt to be made profit
able.
Ground or chopped oats soaked in
mill. makes one of the very best rations
for growing pigs when they first be-
gin to eat
Hogs should have access to salt and
ashes all Of the time; this will be
found better than to mix salt with
their food.
Cattle should always bo fed rough
ness in ricks or hangers; scattering
over the ground entails too much waste
to be profitable
An English breeder of Jersey cows
states thu. he feeds his yearlings and
dry cows horse chestnuts as a condi-
ment He says the cattle like them
and thrive upon them when given in
small doses
Better sell off a portion of the stock
now rather than attempt to winter too
many, and be obliged to stint the feed.
Young stock must be kept growing in
winter as well as in summer to return
the most profit
In sheep bre eeding there is in reality
but three points to aim for. These are:
Mutton of the best quality possible
and as much rs you can have on each
single carcass. a good thick fleece and
fecurdity. When these are obtained
you have about all that can reasonably
be asked for in one animal.
A cow that will produce annually $50
pounds of butter, and a dairyman who
can handle this SO that it will bring from
twenty to thirty cents per pound, make
a profitable combination II either
factor of this combination is lacking,
you had better remedy it. or else go
out of the dairy business.
Keep as many animals as possible,
but do not keep more than can be COM
fortably sheltered. A sheep should
have twenty square feet of room, as
crowding is injurious. Too many ami
mails will occasion loss, but the capac-
ity of the farm and buildings for the
support of stock should be fully uti-
lized.
When the cattle ranges are settled
beef will probably be cheaper. 1t re-
uuires less land to raise cattle on farms
than on the range. and with better
care, and the cattle industry in the
hands of many instead of the few. beef
will be of better quality and cattle
more numerous The best beef is pro
duced on cultivated farms

that pretty. fearful face up at McBir-
ney's cabin. They had nearly finished
the grave when Ben remarked:
''Say, pard. amt that mighty curious
ydNer soil we're heavin' Out?'
..Yaller soil?" Jack repeated, half
abstracted!y. But he took up hand
ful ard looked at it closely. His face
wore a wild look as he turned to Ben.
''Pard, it's gosd-pure, genuine, un-
adulterated gold! Windy camps not
played out yet. Poor Morg's grave has
brought lis luckr'
'.Blest if We amt right, pard." said
Ben, having satisfied himself that they
really had a.ruck gold "Well l
knowed when Grace Morgan come she
would bring luck to US Windy campers
A purity young stranger always does!''
he added, with superstition that is
said to be proverbial of some old miners.
1t was quickly decided to abandon
that grave and dig one on an opposite
slope. Here all that was mortal of un-
lucky Alex Morgan was laid to rest.
The little party of friends supported
the weeping girl, and as the pines lisped
and moaned in sympathy, Jack and Ben
sang two verses of ''Jesus Lover of My
Soul"
The three men began at once to work
the new mine. which proved a particu-
larly valuable one. Nothing like it
had ever before been discovered in
Windy gulch. All united in declaring
that Grace Morgan had brought the
good fortune to them, and they very
appropriately named it the Grace Nine
Grace accepted Mrs. McBirney's in
vitation to stay at the cabin during the
summer. for her fathers death had left
her weak and spiritless. Only one
person in Windy camp had the power
to call the roses back to her pale cheeks
that was Jack. Ben saw this clear
ly, and like the true friend that he was,
though he would have laid his life down
for the girl, SO great was his love, he
never attempted to lay straw in
Jacks way.
So, Ben had no need to establish his
contemplated orphan asylum in the
gulch; nor did Grace Morgan ever have
a chance to teach over in the valley, or
wash for the miners, for at Christmas
time she married big, handsome Jack
Leslie, who had realized enough fro m
his share in the Grace Nine to yield him
comfortable income for the rest of his
life. Ben derives a grave happiness
from their perfect contentment

True Story Of 1919.

Rough old sailor and REFER trim

That the breath OF death is filing the ssils
Only one little face is wan;
Only one childish mouth is drawn;
One little heart is sad and sore

"CIory! doubt If get more,

"But faith goes far in the race OF fame,
And down on the books shall go your name"
Brarely the little seaman stood

While grizzled veterans looked and smiled
And gathered new courage from the child;
Till the foeman. crippled in pride and might,
Struck his naughty flag and gave up the

FARM NOTES.

If trees are to be set out in the
spring, much Of the work of properly
preparing the soil can be done during
the winter.
A sled will be found convenient in
hauling out manure, wood and rails
during the winter. and in the fields es-
pecially can often be used where il
would be difficult if not impossible, to
use the wagon.
II every general farmer, in any dis
trict within reasonable distance of a
town or railroad, would spend as
much time, labor and cash on 200 fowls
rs he does ON ten acres Of corn, the net
profit of the poultry would be at least
twice as great as from the corn.
The requisites for success with small
fruits are, line of fruits for their owp
sake, soil well adapted to their
growth, q convenient market, an avail
able supply of extra help when needed
planting no more than can be thor.
oughly cultivated and readily mar
keted.
Common salt should never be used ir
sailing butter, as the impurities which
are contained in such salt have a ten
dency to make the butter spoil Sal'
prepared especially for the dairy costs
a little more, but it more than pays for
itself in the difference it makes in the
quality of the butter
The ideal farmer remembers tha'
old saying: "All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy, while all play
and no work makes him mere toy;'
therefore, while he trains his children
to diligence, industry aud thorough
ness, he gives them liberal opportuni
ties to indulge wisely in harmless
sports, recreation and amusements
One sure and certain remedy for hare
times is in always having something te
sell, and this something, whatever il
may be, of such quality as to readily
command fair price. 1t is q fact
worthy of serious consideration that
the most persistent croakers about
hard times are those who lack in indus
try. good management, good breeding
and, in many cases, sound integrity
Farm and Fireside.
In many cases it will be q good plan
to divide the farm into convenient
fields, SO as to dispense with as much
useless fencing as possible. Get the
farm divided up into convenient fields,
SO as to handle to the best advantage
and then make good fences between.
Plank and wire, with good posts,
make the best outside and line
fences, and in the end will be found
the most economical.
