faesTs md Home Life.

A point was well made by Mr.. Ed
ward Howard G1iggs at the conclusion
Of lecture on How to Attain Our
Ideals" He had paused for questions
from the audience. and one man SAID
something to this effect: Yes. these
are very fine things you have been say
ing to us. Those Of us who can see at
all what you mean are eager to bring
it into realization. But we are often
terribly hampered. What can you say
what hope have you to offer-to wo-
man who, herself capable Of holding
these ideals, is tied to man who Is
utterly incapable Of any higher concep
ton than that Of bodily comfort?''
"You have touched" said Mr.. Griggs,
upon tragedy SO profound that |
have no words in which to answer
you" A silence fell upon the great au
dience. Presently he broke it: But
this l can suggest, that very often
those who most quickly and intensely
grasp ideals are unwilling to take the
necessary steps to realize them. There
are orderly means to the attainment OF
every ideal. 1t is never reached at Il
bound. Only by patiently establishing
each step before it goes on to the next
can the human spirit reach its goal

Feeding the Brood Sow.

Feed sows slop made Of middlings
and milk or warm water once day
and moderate ration Of whole oats
one part, corn one part, once a day.
Glover hay may be fed chopped OF
whole. If chopped or cut it may be
well mixed with the slop. in which
case 1t would be found very satisfac-
tory supplement to middlings. On well
managed hog farms breeders have n
supply of roots, such as sugar beets
and mangels, as succulent food Of
some sort is very desirable The sows
should also have access to salt, char
coal and ashes.

Old English Gard

It is a little curious to think that
even as far back as the middle ages a
great quantity Of garden stuff" was
imported into England from the CONT
nent. Although our ancestors were ia
nous in those days for their salads
and green's, they knew nothing about
the cultivation Of edible roots until the
reign of Henry VIII Up to then such
things as carrots, turnips and arti-
chokes We're sent from Flanders, and
special messengers were sometimes
dispatched to bring back supplies for
the royal table. Among the green
vegetables most popular in Tudor days
was "Good King Henry or Mercury
Gooseloot." Those who would like to
have a really old fashioned vegetable
in their gardens are advised to try

WINTER CARE OF EWES.
They Should Be In Good Flesh at
LambfnE Time.

Success during lambing and Shearing
time depends largely on the care the
ewes receive during the winter months,
writes a New York farmer in Ameri-
can Agriculturist 1t will pay every
herdSman to feed SO as to get the best
results. Individuals and flocks may
need different treatment. Every farm
er should know the habits and peculiar
ities Of the breed he is keeping The
aim should be to keep them in condi-
ton that might be called fat When
ewes are firm f1eshed through abundant
feed and exercise they are vigorous,
and healthy offspring will follow.
This ration has given excellent results:
One-half pound of bran and oats, two
to three pounds of succulent food and
about the same amount of clover hay
or cut corn fodder. AS lambing time
approaches the grain ration should be
increased to about double the above
amount The strength of the fodder
and grain should be taken into consid-
Grafton being careful not to overfeed,
which is most dangerous, especially
when there is lack Of exercise.
A certain amount of exercise is re-
CURED to give strength and prepare for
the lambing season. The most impor-
tant coarse fodder is bright clover hay
and good quality Of cut cornstalks.
These may be proftably alternated
with good, bright oat straw, pea straw
and millet. Each of these has it's
relative merits, but none compares with
the first mentioned. AS to grains, the
most paying results have been obtain
ed from oats and bran. Corn should
not be fed to breeding ewes at all, as it
lessons their vigor. Succulent foods,
which are called for at times, should
not be fed too heavily. But just before
Landing time they are required in con-
siderable amounts. 1t seems to be
sleeps nature to relish them. Turnips
are preferred to most other roots The
Swedish turnips are Of about the same
value as the round ones, and many
prefer them. Mangel wurZes are q
good feed toward spring and Of much
value. A knowledge of the flock and
the exercising of good common sense
will usually give the desired results.

THE FEEDERS CORNER

Judgment is needed in the feeding Of
roots to hogs. They like the roots and
will sometimes eat more than is profit
able for them to eat-that is, they fill
up on roots, and the work Of the stoTn-
ach goes to digest lot of material
that has In it very little nutriment.
When water is given in addition to the
roots the result Is even more in the
direction we have Indicated If the
hogs have good quantity Of roots,
they should not be given water, for the
roots are almost nine-tenths water
But 1t is better to give the swine some
water and reduce the amount Of roots
they are to receive. Roots are a great
adjunct to the grain ration.
Grain For Sheep.
In feeding grain to sheep besides
leading to q larger development Of
young sheep it will increase the weight
Of mutton sheep and improve the quail
1ty of the meat as nothing else will.
1t increases the weight and quality Of
the feeces.
Best Feed For the Horse.
Oats contain the greater proportion
Of flesh forming elements and corn thr
greater proportion of fat forming ele
ments, and this is why oats are the best
food for horses.
Pumpkins as Hog Feed.
The Oregon experiment station made
test Of the feeding value OF pump
kins in which they were valued at
$3.50 per ton and shorts at SIP per ton.
nearly two months. The pumpkins
were cooked and fed at the rate of
8.14 pounds to each pound of shorts.
This ration proved satisfactory. and
the pigs gained 400 poands at cost of
+ $3.50 per hundredweight. The total
consumption was 1923 pounds Of
pumpkins and 924 pounds of shorts.
Cottonseed Meal For Cattle.
f. B. Mumford of the Missouri ex
pertinent station writes to Breeders
Gazette concerning the value Of cot
tonseed meal for beef production.
From six years experience in feeding
cottonseed meal at this station we be-
Meve that it will pay well to feed cot
tonseed meal at $3.50 per ton to cattle
on full feed in winter when corn Is
worth 40 cents a bushel.
Bran and Corn For Calves.
Equal parts by weight of corn and
cob meal, oats and coarse wheat bran
make an excellent ration for growing
calves. especially if good clover or al
falfa hay is available as roughage. It,
oats are not available, then use three
parts of bran to one part of corn and
cob nesl..-Cor Breeders Gazette.

which continues to love his master
even though the latter abuses him

quickly estrange the affection Of a

no particular reason why he should
love a master who habitually maitreats
