Feed for Young Anina1s.

The younger an animal the more
mineral matter it requires In its food.
When very young pigs are growing
they are producing bone very rapidly
in proportion to size. and consequent
ly require more phosphates in their
food. especially of lime in a soluble
condition. Milk conta ins all the nec-
essary substances for pigs. but after
while they become of such sizes as
to be unable to consume enough milk
to supply them. as they must drink
about eight times as much water In
the milk as there are solids. To sup
ply this deficiency corn meal Is added.
but corn meal is deficient in mineral
matter. Bran, ground oats. shipstuf
and finely cut clover hay (scalded). in
addition to the milk and corn meal,
will prove advantageous.

Coed Butter Preferred.
Dairy schools are now in operat tion

instruction ON butter and cheese-mak-
Ing are given at some Of the agricul-
tural colleges 1t was not long ago
demonstrated that inferior butter
could not compete with oleomargarine.
and that good butter Of choice quality
could always be sold at a good price.
The fact has also been demonstrated
that there was much to learn In max
Ing good butter, and that cleanliness
and the proper management Of the
milk were essential in producing the
choice article. There has been Won
derful advance in the methods of but
ter-making. and oleomargarine is re-
sponsible for it. Consumers will not
purchase the counterfeit article If they
can get the genuine, and poor butter is
as much a counterfeit as any other
imitation.

four. A majority Of the total vote cast
IN the eleven counties favored the propo.
sition.
One Of the most positive indications OF
the healthful condition Of the schools OF
the state is found in the fact that many
school boards, in towns and villsg-s tina,
employ from four 10 eight teachers, are
inqniring for l~tter principles and are
Offering larger salaries than they have
been paying. One letter asks for q
man Of culture and refinement who will
stay with US and become a part Of the
community"
The most difficult position to I'll in al
school work is that Of principal Of q
graded school Of four to eight teachers
lie must have breadth enough to adap
his school work to social and industria
conditions; he must be able to oeyaniz,
an entire scheme Of education and To ad
just all Of It's parts; he must be able t.
assist every teacher In the school in ne,
particular work and improve the teach
ing at every point; and above all else, III
must Ike an instructor of more than NJ
binary ability for he must do mos, o
the high school work. Men who nj
these positions get, usually, an "
salary from $500 TO SU. II should h
not less than 5000. Good men for sucl

children's Vote on Greatness.


 A children's vote was cast recently at an Oak Park School. the issue being who is the best or greatest or most popular that ever happened? The vote was duly an- nounced and partial statement of the result may be given as follows: Lincoln, A. Washington, Il; Mckinley. 6; Roose- Queen Victoria, 2; My Father" 3; Dinsmore, 1. Here we have exemplifi d both the ingenuousness of the child and the evil to which the child nature is sub jected by baneful contact with adults. While all the votes were sincere, 1t is obvious that an innermost conviction was expressed only in those which were cast for father and mother and Elsie Dins- more The rest were echoes of some adult opinion or the freaks Of ill-digested reading. Though fraud vSs ahSen; he ready-made opinion intervened to deprive pa and ma and Elsie Dinsmore of that overwhelming majority of the votes to which they were justly entitled. The teacher draws this moral from the re- turns; You will look in vain," she says. flor the name of Vanderbilt, Rocke- feller. or a Carnegie. In the minds of inc children success in life still stands for something besides piling up colossal fortunes" That is an encouraging thought, and it even suggests hope for the adult. Is the child merely reflects opinion he must have learned his con- tempt of colossal fortunes from persons of more mature years who have the grace of a good theory at least, though they might be duly considerate of the mil lionaire in practice.

ANoTHER ONE s1rAsHEn.

Is there any article of diet about which there is no difference of opinion? Is therc nothing eatable that some will not ap- plaud and some attack? For example. we have always been taught that oatmeal is about the best all-around feed that any human ever tackled. It is true, cynical old pr. Johnson spoke sneeringiy of oats as "a grain which is generally given to horses. but in Scotland supports the people" But it is well known that the old grumbier hated the Scotch and never let pass an occasion to give them a rap. And that was good reply some man made to him that there were mo- where to be found finer horses than in England or finer men than in Scotland
 Leaving all this out of the controversy, however, we know that oats in some form or preparation has of late years been held to view as the ultimate limit in the way of healthfui and strengthening food. but here comes along Scotch doctor and two English ones and all of them are down on the oatmeal fad. One of the Englishmen asserts that 1t Is a na- tional curse, the other Is almost as bad, while the scotchman turning his back on his land and its national diet pronounces 1t blessing to the doctors because its general use swells the number of their patients.
 All this Is discouraging to those wno have been tndulging in an oatmeal diet and who have imagined that with each spoonful of it they imbibed an extra lease of life and a new voltage of health and strength. Perhaps, like most other fads, this one has been carried to an extreme and people may have indulged in 1t to the neglect of other foods bet ter fitted to their condition and needs. For all that, we are not yet ready to ad- init that oatmeal is short cut to sui- eide

In winter bath Is apt to be riedly approached and rapidly done with. There are, 1t is true, some people who get into a tub of cold water on frosty mornings. But these belong to that class of human beings who live on vege- tables and breakfast foods and who in: dulEe in cold feet. They are not normal in their makeup, and, best of all, they are foo few in number and influence to bring men in general to view tubful of cold water on December morning as anything short of horror.
 Then age and conditions have much to do in framing a proper answer to the question, What is a bath2'' If we are dealing with a healthy boy in the good old summer time," then the word bath Ioses all significance in the way cf clean ing and removing dirt. UnaeT such cir light in an ocean of water. mean the same tfing. Yet the same boy who win risk naternal anger for dive into some swim ming hole, will, after the summer Is past, deem 1t a waste of time to wash his entire

 winter, be trusted to dig out of his ears tha dirt that will somehow hnd loogment m those wide-spreading receptacies- So then, we zee that s'bath" ss a convertible term and has meaning and purpose as who use It.
