Feeding Skim Milk to Hogs.

Teeu1nS SklI1 TO hOSSs
The Utah Experiment Station has.
from time to time made some yecy
valuable experiments in feeding milk.
The testimony on the value of skim
milk for hogs, as food, is convincing.
Comparisons are made with like eS-
periments of the Wisconsin, Colorado
and New Hampshire Experiment Sta
tons. Hogs, when fed milk and grain,
require much less matter to make a
pound of gain than hogs fed on milk
alone. Tie average of the Utah ex-
periments showed 100 pounds of milk
to be equal to about "A pounds of
grain. In the Colorado experimengg,
the hogs fed on milk and grain, gained
more than twice as much per day and
required but little more than half as
much matter to each pound Of grain
as did the hogs fed on grain alone.
Not only did the hogs fed on milk and
grain, gain more rapidly, but they
grew larger and were in much better
condition. The experiments show cop
clusiVely the great value of skim milk
when fed in combination with grain SIS
contrasted with feeding grain alone.

The life insurance companies have
years that the many various trades

live the longest. Yet farmers are
more liable to accident than the en-

beasts that are liable to gore him,

Sweet Potato Culture.


This important crop deserves muchl
more space and attention than we.
have been giving it. AS a food for man
ard beast, for home consumption, il
deserves consideration. Hogs, cows
aid horses are fond of sweet potatoes.
They contain both starch and sugar in
large quantities. This makes them
strengthening and fattening, says the
Southern Cultivator
There are so many ways of prepar.
ing them for the table that few, if any,
vegetables can be made so helpful in
feeding the family. AS a money crop
they are very profitable. They sell
well all the year, and with little
care can be kept on hand all the gear.
The best varieties are hard to Sc
lect. AS a rule the yellow neshed are
sweetest. Bed your land in tla* beds.
Put some kind OF trash or half -n0tted
manure in and bed on it. This will
keep the bed from baking and greatly
increase the yield. AS soon Gs the
slips are old enough to put out side
roots as feeders they should be tyans-
planted. Rows to 49, feet and slips
inches. Run a furrow with sub
soil pillow in the top of the bed and set
slips in this furrow and pour half a
pint of water and cover with dry soil.
Slips set in this way will live even
in dry spells, and grow off promptly.
It is better to set them in this way
than to put them out in wet soil and
pack the mud around them.
AS soon as they have taken root run
a light harrow over them so as to kill
all the young grass. This makes the
cultivation easy. Cultivate shallow and
often until the vines cover the ground
Do not let the grass get hold. Grass
wilA ruin the crop. They must be kept
cledn. The back-bending may be
avoided, in setting out the slips. by
using a forked stick. Place the stick
on the roots Of the slip and press CONT
ly into the earth. Then pour the water
and draw the soil with hoe.

With the beginning of the cold sea
son there comes a new set of whisky
arguments-the winter set, or cold
weather set.
The poor devil who can't leave whis
ky alone now takes his drink with The
mumbled explanation that he needs it
to keep out the cold.
He might much better light match
and hold it to his finger. That would
burn only the outside, instead Of burn
ing the inside, and attacking, first Of
all. the machinery Of thought.
The whisky is taken with the old,
foolish, customary remark about HAP
py days" or good health" and the
man goes out, just so much nearer to
the end of his happy days and to the
end of his good health.
The foolish whisky drinker imagines
that alcohol really keeps out the cold.
that it really heats him. 1t does moth
ing of the kind. 1t deceives him by
sending the blood to his brain, starts
within him an artificial fire which
burns at the expense Of permanent
vitality
When that goes out, as it soon does
leaving him colder than before. there
is another chilly feeling and the de
mand for another drink-and so II
goes. until that particular human shir
goes ashore in the same old rocky
place. Chicago American.

Drhs Greatest Of These Is Love-"

"The Greatest Of These Is Love-"
Love is its own perennial fount o:
strength. The strength OF affection is
a proof, not of the worthiness of the
object, but Of the largeness of the
soul which loves. Love descends, not
ascends. The might OF a river de-
pends not on the quality of the soil
through which 1t passes, but on the
inexhaustibleness and depth Of the
spring from which it proceeds. The
greater mind cleaves to the smaller
with more force than the other to It.
The parent loves the child more than
the child the parent, and partly be-
cause the parents heart is larger, not
because the child's Is worthier. The
Savior loved his disciples infinitely
more than his disciples loved him,
because his heart was infinitely larger
Love trusts on-eyer hopes and ex.
poets better things; and this a trust
springing from itself, and out Of its
own deeps alone.
II Is this trusting love that makes
men what they are trusted to be, so
realizing itself. Would you make men
trustworthy? Trust them Would
you make them true? Believe them.
II is on this principle that Christ
wins the hearts Of the redeemed. He
trusted the doubling Thomas, and
Thomas arose with a faith worthy OF
his Lord and his God" He would not
suffer even the lie Of Peter to shake
his conviction tna1 Peter might love
him yet; and Peter answered to that
sublime forgiveness.
Therefore. come what may, hold fast
to love. Though men should rend
your heart. let them not embitter or
harden It. We win by tenderness; we
conquer by forgiveness. Oh, strive to
enter into something OF that large,
celestial charity which Is meek, endur-
ing, unretaliating. and which even
the overbearing world can not with
stand foreveri Learn the new COM
mandment Of the Son Of God-not to
love, but 70 love as he loved. Go forth
In this spirit to your life duties; go
forth, children OF the Cross, to carry
everything before you, and win vic
tories for God by the conquering pow
er Of love like his.--F. w. Robertson.

The true sign Of forgiveness is not
some mysterious signal waved from
the sky; not some obscure emotion
hunted out in your heart; not some
stray text culled out of your Bible:
certainly not some word of mortal
priest telling you that your satisfac
tion is complete. The soul full OF re-
sponsive love to Christ and ready
longing. hungry to serve Him, is its
own sign Of forgiveness. Must there
not pc sorrow for sin. Must there not
be resolution of amendment? Surely
there must. but it is sorrow for sin
for the sake Of sorrowfulness that
Jesus ever wants He wants sorrow
for sin only that It may bring escape
from sin. I think that, with all we
know of the divine heart of Jesus. He
would far rather see a soul trust Him
too much, if that is possible, than to
trust Him too little. which we know y

which. so far as l know. have never
been squarely faced by the advocates
Of the canteen First, total abstainers
who join the army when the canteen
is established are subjected to a tre-
mendous pressure to form drinking
habits. The profits Of the canteea are
devoted to providing amusement and
recreation and the purchase of deli
Sacies not included in the regular ra-

tions. Can any young man share these
benefits and not resist the temptation
to pay his part of the bill by patroniz-
ing the canteen? 1t is the business Of
the government to make vir-ue easy
and vice dificult, but the canteen is so
operated as to discourage total absti-
nence and to encourage habits of mod
crate drinking.
The next point is that the canteen
as a method of curbing the evil of
drunkenness in the army is based up
on false view Of human nature, and
consequently in the long run is fall
ure. Men who begin on beer and light
wines will sooner or later develop an
appetite for something stronger II
they begin at the canteen there is
nothing to prevent them from finishing
up at the grog shops outside the army
post. In process Of time the great ma
jority, if not all, of those who patron
ize the canteen will gravitate to the
low down saloons. To suppose other

and the law of habit The man who
takes the first step in an evil course
will find it easy to take the second.
third and fourth steps, and so on till
he is far down. if not to the bottom
Of the inclined plane, before he is
aware of his condition.
Let me add one more suggestion
Men will naturally oppose law that
runs counter to their habits and prac-
tices. Are the habits Of army officers
and their personal views of temper
ance legislation such as to lend any
weight to their testimonies in behalf
of the canteen? Have they shown
candor and disinterestedness in their
reports to the war department on the
workings of the anti-canteen law?
Most people do not think so, and to
prove that their suspicion is well
founded your attention is invited to
