ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


There is much TO learn i'm regard to
feeding. The common practice is TO
give the hay and grain separately. Ex-
periments made to- test the value of
foods under different systems of feed
ing demonstrate that the best results
are obtained when the grain is ground.
the hay cut into short lengths, the
bulky food then moiStened, and the
grain and hay mixed. which is done
by sprinkling the ground grain over
the hay. This mode demands more
labor, but at the present time grinding
mills and power feed cutters are
cheap enough to be within reach of
all. The mixed food it better digest
ed, is relished, ana saving is effected
in the quantity. as the careful prcpar-
alton lessons the waste.

When they tell stories about the
perversity OF the automobile some
times it suggests a Economical posses
sion. But the last story about n gaSo-
line vehicle which set fire TO itself on
the road and then ran into 4 hydrant,
knocked it in two, and put itself out
with the gushing water, argues that
this particular vehicle has the saving
grace to apply the remedy to its own
misdeeds. Or else it implies that
some one has drawn the long bow,
comments the Pittsburg Dispatch.

DIR. Il. Benjamin Andrews. in a lee
ture on "Veracity" at the University
of Chicago said that it is sometimes
a good and proper thing to tell lie,
providing the intention in mind is a
good one. "Veracity is lot merely a
statement of facts; neither is lie
merely statement Of what is not
true" said DR.. Andrews. a bad in
tention is necessary to constitute a
lack of veracity. When a sick man
is near death is is proper to tell him
hat in a short time, perhaps, he will
be well. This is not lying. But if you
tell man who is near death the fact
for the purpose Of killing him, that
is a lie"
