ley and cracked corn can be fed at
different times during the winter; at
least two kinds of grain should be fed
each day Oats are excellent for year
lIngs and older hens, but should be fed
rather sparingly to pullets, owing to
the danger of the sharp points injuring
the delicate crops. A liberal amount
of corn is to be recommended. but 1t
must be, supplemented by other grains,
as well as cut bone or beef scraps and
green food. Corn is fattening but 1t
is heating as we'll, and gives color to
the yolks of the eggs.
1t Is impossible to obtain satisfactory
results unless the hens are kept busy,
and the only satisfactory way to keep
them active Is to have the floor of the
poultry house covered to a depth OF
several inches with litter. such as
straw. hay, leaves or cut cornstaiks.-

How TO Save s6o.ooO,o0o.

The United States imports annually
about $60OO00OO worth of drugs and
dyes made from products that could be
grown in the United States just as well
Camphor now sells for rs cents a
pound, and while not an ounce of it is
grown in this country, the government
has demonstrated that camphor trees
are successful here. Licorice root is
another thing that possesses great pos
sibilities. The department of agricul-
ture has demonstrated that the licor-
ice plant is hardy as far month as Penn
sylvania Belladonna has also been
shown to do we'll in good garden soil.
The only way to determine absolutely
whether these various special crops
can be grown successfully is to try
them, and it is well to do this in a
small way at first.-Farming.

Cost of Producing Pork.

J 1t is claimed that 20 pounds OF
pork Give hog) can be made from one
bushel Of corn, but no portion Of the
corn must be wasted by lack of warm
shelter or a variety Of other food. The
possibilities with corn depend on the
condition of management. Corn and
milk will give greater gain than can
be obtained from corn without milk or
from milk without corn for the reason
that one kind of good supplies some
element that may be lacking in the
other. Corn is deficient in lime, yet lime
is essential in producing bone. Milk,
cut clover (scalded) and bran contain
lime, but are not as fattening as corn.
IA combination of foods cheapens the
cost of corn and other substances, be-
cause there is greater gain in the
weight of the animal

Keep Out Cold Air.

Z A hole in the granary, through
which the grain would be lost, would
not be allowed to exist very long af-
ter its discovery. A hole In the stable

chills the animals, causes loss OF
grain just as surely as the hole In the
eranary, as more food will be required
Ito assist the animals In maintaining
warmth. 1t is the things that are un-

animals do not make gain proportion

ness which results in horses when they
ARE overfed with anything. OF course,
as digestion is interrupted the animal

ceases. 1t will take several days of

Let me go back to Bailey's creek.
Where boys are splashing in the ''hole. :"

And let me run a barefoot boy.
Whore ripples sling iheir lullaby.
just let me wander with my dog
To where the chipmunk scolds the jay.
To where the dreamy summer sun
Sends dancing prisms on its way!
And when the sun sinks low to rest
And all the countryside Is still.
Let me lie down to dream awhile
Beside some fern embowered rill.
All. Fame. take back your lordly prize,
The plaudits of worldly bliss.
And grant to me this ecstasy:
The nectar Of mothers kiss! =
And while the light holds out to burn,
Let me dream onward into age
That marks the toiler's reeompense,
The sunset of the closing page.

wreath
ask but God and Natures hand
To guide me DER the Sunset Days
Into the Great Eternal Land!
