About the size Of the State Of Rhode Island,
and situated sixty miles south Of the western
end of Cuba, the Isle of Pines would prove a
valuable accession to any country interested in
South American affairs. In the same longitude
as Tampa, Fla and the same latitude as Yucca
tan Mexico, this hit of land is regarded n
strategic key to the Caribbean Sea and the
Yucatan Channel, which connects this with
the Gulf OF Mexico. Attention to the island
military base has recently been still more
strongly focused by the Venezuelan imbrogIio.

Pines grew out of the recent Spanish-American

HINTS FOR FEEDERS.
In Some Cases Grinding Feed fer
stock Pays. in others II Is
Waste of Labor.

Prof. Henry, of the University of
Wisconsin, gives the following adj
vice regarding ground feed for
stock: This subject is difficult
one to discuss owing to the great
variety of conditions existing as to
both grain and animals. Directions
are here given which may serve to
guide the feeder in his practice:
For horses which are out of the sta
BILE during the day and worked hard,
all grain, with the possible eXcep-
ton of oats, should be ground. For
those at extremely hard work. all
grain should be ground and mixed
with chaffed hay. Fer idle horses,
oats or corn should not be ground.
nor need the hay or straw be
chaffed. A COW yielding a large flow
of milk should be regarded as a hard
working animal and her feed pre-
pared accordingly. Fattening steers
and pigs may be crowded more rap
idly with meal than with whole
grain. though there is more danger
attendant upon its use. Sheep worth
feeding can always grind their own
grain. In general idle animals and
those having ample time for masti-
cation, rumination and digestion do
not need their grain or rOughage
prepared as carefully as do those
with only limited time for these es-
sential operations. Experiments
quite generally show increased gains
from grinding grain. but in many
cases they are not sufficient to pay
the cost of grinding"

HIS TIME WAS NOT UP.

morning of his birthday and began TO collect
his personal belongings preparatory to start

The farmer, seeing his son packing his

dence of the early loss of good farmland,
stopped at the door of the young mans
room and asked what he was going to do.
The boy very promptly reminded his faith

declared his intention of striking out in the
world on his own account.

They tell good one on prominent real
estate man of Waurika. Some time ago he
carried a prospector over on Beaver Creek
to show him certain claim. He told the
man that twas an exceptionally fine claim !;
that the land did not overflow, and that
he would sell it to him for 81 goo. The man
looked around and discovered some red
mud way up in a tree and asked the real
estate man what caused that mud in the
tree tops if the land did not overflow. The
agent promptly replied that there was q

Danger in Close Pasturing.

The leaves are the laboratories in
which the plant food is ella borated and
from which the plant substance is sent
to all parts of the plant. The roots of
grass store substances which prepare
the plant for a vigorous growth the
following year. If the leaves are de-
stroyed by pasturiDg too closely dur
ing the early growing season when
this transfer of substance from leaves
10 roots takes place then the plant is
temporarily weakened. The most pro-
ductive pastures ] have ever seen have
invariably been those that have not
been too closely pastured. Many of the
best pastures are not used at all un til
September, but this method is not prac-
ticable in all cases.-Farmer's Voice.
