Sow Beans for Piq Feeding.


For several years soy beans for the
feeding of pigs have been given con-
siderable attention at the Wisconsin
experiment station. Careful records
have been kept Of the results so that
the authorities are prepared to recon-
mend the SOY bean. Here are the con-
illusions reached as published in the
annual report of the station as lately
issued:
Sow beans make an excellent supple
ment to corn meal for growing and fat
tening pigs.
Soy beans are little over 10 per
cent more valuable than wheat mid
dlings for economical pork production.
Soy beans, mixed with corn meal In
the proportion of IL, produced greater
and more economical gains than wheat
middlings and corn meal when fed in
the same proportion.
In feeding equal amounts of the two
rations, the soy beans and corn meal
supply a slightly higher per cent of
dry matter and digestible matter than
the wheat middlings and corn meal.
which is an item of economy.
For firmness, fine grain and texture
of flesh, and even distribution of fat
and lean, the ration of wheat middlings
and corn meal is superior to that of
SOW beans and corn meal

Look Well to the Pigs.

Pork is not only high but the pros
poets for the future are good. Pos
sibly the present prices can not be
maintained. They do not need to be-
They could drop considerably and then
be high. One thing is very certain,
that pork will probably for some years
to come, bring at least fair price, as
long as consumption is on the in
crease. Our export pork must come
from the corn belt. Other sections
are not likely to raise more than suf-
ficient to supply the home demand.
The farmer that has a farm in the
corn belt can raise pork cheaper than
anywhere else on earth. Let us then
make the most of our opportunities. /.
The pig crop is short the present
season for several reasons. The pre-
vailing high prices for pork have
taken many a good brood SOW to tie
slaughter house that should have
been retained on the farm. Again,
the late winter and spring months
have not been favorable to pig rails
ing. hence, take the very best pos
sible care of the pigs on the farm and
they will bring you good money
when they are ready for pork.

FORGET YOURSELF.

No One Can Grow While His
Thoughts Are Self Conferred.
Forget yourself. You will never do
anything great until you do. Self con-
seriousness is a disease with many.
No matter what they do, they can new
er get away from themselves. They
become warped upon the subject OF
self analysis, wondering how they
look, how they appear, what others
will think Of them and how they can
enhance their own interests. In other
words, every thought and every effort
seems to focus upon self; nothing radi.
ates from them.
No one can grow while his thoughts
are self centered. The sympathies of
the man who thinks only Of himself
are soon dried up. Self consciousness
acts as paralysis to all expansion,
strangles enlargement, kills aspiration,
cripples executive ability. The mind
which accomplishes things looks out,
not in; it is focused upon it's object,
not upon itself.
The immortal acts have been uncon-
sciously performed. The greatest pray.
ers have been the silent longings, the
secret warnings of the heart, not those
which have been delivered facing q
critical audience. The daily desire is
the perpetual prayer, the prayer that
Is heard and answered.-Success.

A Versatile Young Artist.

A story is related of the late DR..
Field, whose memory is cherished by
hundreds Of Bangor people because Of
hia good deeds. The reverend doctor
was exceedingly fond Of children and
was always interested in their studies
and pastimes. One day DR.. Field called
Oh one of his lady parishioDers to dis
cuss parish work. The lady's little
daughter was In the room, and DR..
Field noticed that the child was In.
tently marking OH a small slate. Tho
reverend gentleman asked the child
what she was doing and received the
reply, DRAWN" LET me see what
yOn are drawing" asked DR.. Field.
And the little girl Immediately prof
fered the slate. "Why, what is this
you're drawingY asked DR.. Field.
That's picture Of you,' was the an
swer. "Well, now, l don't think that
looks anything like me-" said Dr.
Field. The little girl looked at the fig
ure on the slate for moment and then,
entirely unabashed, said, well, never
mind; let's put tail on it and call it a

DESTRUCTIVE ARTISTS.
The Ruin They Wrought While
Smarting Under Criticism.

BY no means unusual was the de-
struction of the Borglum angels in the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine by the
sculptor himself while smarting under
the criticism that there were no male
angels shown.
Gerome, the famous French sculptor,
had been working for weeks on the clay
model of a group representing Spring.
1t had almost reached completion when
the artist became convinced that the
treatment was wrong, and in minute
he had beaten the entire group into
shapeless mass of damp clay.
Hogarth destroyed a picture which
had been somewhat severely criticised
by one of his friends, but the most spec
tacular destruction is related Of Char
tran, who for a time had studio In
New York. He was visited by the hus-
band of an American woman whose
portrait he was painting, $1,000 being
the agreed price. The husband, while
admitting it to be a splendid work of
art, declared that he could see absO-
lutely no likeness to his wife in the pic
tured face. Chartran laid down his
brush and, taking out his penknife slit
the canvas into ribbons, after which he
bowed his critic out. 1t afterward de-
veloped that the man was disparaging
the portrait merely in the hope Of OBJ
tanning a reduction in the price.

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
Common Abuse Of the Verbs to Get,
to Lay and to Lie.

Common Abuse Of the Verbs to Get,
to Lay and to Lie.
The verb to get is one Of our much
misused words. 1t means to acquire,
win, obtain. and primarily it signifies
the putting forth Of effort to attain
something. Consequently it is not only
superfluous, but Incorrect to speak OF
a man as getting drowned" or get
ting SICK" and you may unfortunately
''have cold" but it is impossible that
you ''have got cold" At this mo-
ment no exceptions occur to the writer
to the rule that got should never be
used in connection with have, which
alone sufficiently expresses possession.
Say 81 have the picture" not 81 have
got the picture" 1.-The dog has a
broken leg" not "The dog has got a
broken leg"
The irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently COMPOUNDED. Lay is an ac-
tive or transitive verb, and lie is pas
sive or intransitive. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
and things lie at rest You lie down,
have lain down. will lie down or are
lying down; she lay down yesterday
and is going to lie down this afternoon.
4 frequent error is to cOnfound the
say, Mary laid the book on the table
and lay down herself" but the book

STATE LOTTERIES.

They Were Once Very Common and
Very Popular In Europe.
Lotteries were common in ancient
Rome, and during the middle ages lot.
teries were utilized by the Italian mer-
chants for the disposal Of their goods.
Some Of the Italian states then adopted
the lottery as means Of raising reve-
nue., and the institution of state lot
teries afterward became very CON-
mon and very popular throughout Eu-
rope.
The earliest English state lottery of
which there is any record was in 1869,
when 10000 chances were sold at 10
shillings each, the drawing taking
place in the west door of st. Pauls
cathedral.
The prizes consisted Of articles of
plate, and the profits were employed
for the repair Of certain harbors. Early
in the reign of Queen Anne private lot
teries were suppressed las public nui-
sauces." but government lotteries, how
ever, were still maintained, and from
1909 to 1924 considerable sums We're
annually raised in lotteries authorized
by acts Of parliament.
The average yearly profit to the gov
eminent from 1893 to 1924 was over
$4,000. On the ground Of injury to
public morals lotteries Of all kinds
were abolished in England in 1896

THE STOMACH,
How 1t Is Affected by the Use OF
Mixed Fatty Foods.

How 1t Is Affected by the Use Of
Mixed Fatty Foods.
The stomach never has the least pow
er Of digesting true fat This is dis
posed of in the intestines. When eat
en- in the ordinary forms, as fat meat,
butter, etc, the fat separates out in
the stomach and does not in the least
interfere with the work of the gastric
juice on the other food, but when a
nonfatty food has been intimately mix
ed with grease the latter prevents the
gastric juice getting at the food it
could digest Fish fried in oil or but
ter is by 70 means the most marked
example, as the fat does not penetrate
very deeply. Potatoes mashed with
butter are rather worse, and minced
vegetables fried with butter are bad
offenders. The reason advanced ex-
plains why pork is difficult Of diges-
ton. The muscular fibers are mixed
up with fat cells, and by the liberation
of the oil In each tiny cell the eaten
pork Is made into an oily paste. A
very strong stomach will do the work
required, but it is not fair task to
impose frequently, and a weak stom-
ach will refuse to do anything beyond
reminding its owner by a few stabs
that it will not stand such treatment.

THE BEAUTIFUL HAND.
A Decision That Stood the Test o.
All Time.

A Decision That Stood the Test Of
All Time.
There was a dispute among three
ladies as to which had the most beau
tiful hand. One sat by stream and
dipped her hand into the water and
held it up, another plucked strawber-
ries until the ends Of her fingers were
pink and another gathered violets until
her hands were fragrant. An old, bag
gard woman, passing by, asked, "Who
will give me gift, for am poor?" All
three denied her, but another who sat
near, unwashed in the stream, I'M
stained with fruit, unadorned with
flowers, gave her little gift and salts
fed the poor woman, and then she ask
ed them what was the dispute, and
they told her and lifted up before her
their beautiful hands. Beautiful in
deed" said she when she SAW them,
but when they asked her which was the
most beautiful she said, 1T Is not the
hand which is washed clean in the
brook, it is not the hand that is tipped
with red, it Is not the hand that is gar
landed with fragrant flowers, but the
hand that gives to the poor is the most
beautiful" As she said these words
her wrinkles fed, her staff was thrown
away and she stood before them an
angel from heaven, with authority to
decide the question in dispute, and that
decision has stood the test of all time.
