Unusually High Tides

The tides yesterday evening In the river
were unusually high, caused. 1t is thought,
by the easterIy winds on the coast backing
the water up in the bay. According 10 all
local indications the tides should have been
low, as the winds hereabout were from the
west, low-tide quarter, but, all signs to
the. contrary, the water was well up over
the sea wall OF the Potomac Park, and all
the low-lying' lands on the Virginia side OF
the river about Jackson City were under
water. At some OF the lower wharves along
the river front the water had almost reached
the level of the wharf platform. when it
began to fall, and removed all danger OF
flooding the wharves. Today the tides have
been rather high, but they did not reach
the level OF yesterday.

NnIne of skim Milk.

The feeding value of skim milk to
calves or pigs depends much on what
the animals are to be used for. If one
is raising a fine bred pig or calf the
skim milk has a greater value than If
the animal is to go to the block. Fur
ther some skim milk is of such little
value that it ought not to be fed at
all. Indeed, it may be fairly said that
if the skim milk Is not fresh and
sweet it's main value is that of just
so much mixing fluid.
1t seems to those who have expert
mented with the feeding Of skim milk
that it has it's greatest value when
given to poultry; beyond a question
it is one of the greatest egg producers
that can be fed either by itself or
mixed with bran and other meals
forming a mash. Unless one has pigs
or calves that it is desired to raise to
add to the herd it is advised that the
bulk of the skim milk that is fresh and
sweet go to the poultry; at least give
them all they will consume. By care
full watch it will be seen that such
feeding is an economy, even though
1t did not largely increase tie egg pro-
duction, which it does.

A Ration for swine.

The argument that swine can be fed
more cheaply on corn than on anything
else is fallacious If one counts for any
value the increased gain in a given pc
riod under the other ration. True, If
corn is low in price and other rations
excessively high then the corn is the
cheaper food provided the carcass
brings a fairly high price. 1t has been
demonstrated repeatedly that in most
localities the ideal balanced ration for
swine during the winter is one-half
middlings and one-half corn meal vary
ing the ration by an occasional feed of
corn on the ear without, of course. the
middlings.
A still cheap ration giving quite as
good results consists Of one-third soy
bean meal and two-thirds corn meal,
provided the former can be bought at
a fair price. 1t has been proved be-
yond question that an entire corn ra-
ton lays the animal open to various
diseases and that, beyond a certain
point, the exclusive corn ration adds
practically nothing to the weight Of the
animal so that nothing is gained in
feeding more than is necessary to sus-
tain life Try one Of the balanced ra-
lions suggested and you will find it
profitable as others have.

| And that night Sandy sat down and
told Jim what to write to the girl in
New Jersey. At first he acted like a
stubborn broncho, but at last he did as
Sandy told him; wrote to her that per-
haps she was right-he had spent
about dollar in postage stamps before
this, asking her to take back what she
wrote, but it didn't bulge her.
This time he said that he, too, had
Oean thinking things over He knew
she was beautiful and stylish and all
! that, and that, like the other poor dew
! il, he, too, might look like back num-
Der among her swell Eastern friends if
he came back. Then, also, she might
not fit into the life here-he had often
tried to imagine how she would look

Of him see how she would look. There

inclose photograph as a parting gift
Well, we waited with anxious hearts
And in double-quick time came letter
for Jim with a special delivery stamp
on it-a letter that looked as If it
might weigh a pound: but after read
| ing it, jim acted as if he didn't weigh
an ounce. He acted as crazy as a
chained coyote. That picture had
brought the girl to terms.
She wrote that she felt that fate had
intended her for 1.-THE grand, glorious
life of the great horizon reaching
plains and the heaven-kisSing noun
tains," and lot more rubbish like that
You see, she was only IS years old,
and had never been out of New Jer-
sey. But, just the same, she made Jim
a fine wife when she came west two
years after. And the foolish notions
have long since gone out of her head.
But, maybe. after all, she had some
right on her side. OF course, clothes
don't make the man, but I've some
times thought that they come so mighty
near it that it's no joking matter

A Good PouItry-House.

By far too many poultry houses are
built high and wide. The high house
must be more warmly constructed than
the low house, while the wide house
gives far too much floor room, and es-
pecially if the scratching shed is in
use. BY the proper arrangement of
nests under roosts, protected by drop
ping boards, space is economical great
ly and, most important of all, it is pos
sible to get much more sunlight into a
narrow house than in wide one, and
to put it where it will do the most good,
on the floor. The profitable poultry
house is also the one where provision
is made for good ventilation, without
draughts, where the sun will strike
in and cover the dust boxes. where the
nests are in the dark and where the
roosts are in the warm corner and ar
ranged so that they may be curtained
if further protection is needed in very
cold weather. The walls back of the
roosts should be covered with tarred
paper, so there will be no draught
from that side
