Provide : lamb Creep.

At eight to ten days of age lambs
will begin to eat At this time creep
should be built which will give them
access to the feed box containing grain
and trough with hay. Box. trough,
and feed should always be kept sweet
and clean. A good grain ration for
lambs might be made as follows:
Mix one-third part of oilmeal with one
part each of bran, oats and fine corn
meal Red clover hay or the second
cutting of alfalfa hay are the most de-
sirable form of roughage. OF the two,
alfalfa is to be much preferred. 1t Is
a good idea to keep up the grain feed
right along until the lambs are sent
to market. BY SO doing the lambs are
kept fat all the time and are ready
to be turned into cash on short no.
tice should the market take sudden
rise. Furthermore, 1t has been found
by trial at the Wisconsin station that
lambs fed grain continuously have re-
turned a net profit twice as great as IN
the case of lambs of the former class
to make a weekly gain of 31h pounds,
as against 21s pounds in the case OF
lambs receiving no grain up to the
time they are turned into the feed
yard.

FIGHT THE RODENTS.
Inspect the Orchard Frequently Dur
ing the Winter Months.

Every man that has orchard trees
should go over the orchard frequently
in the winter to make sure that his
trees are not being attacked by any
kind of animals. If every man would
do that, large numbers of trees would
be saved Often the trees are being
injured under the crust Of snow. One
man had hundreds of small trees
killed in a single winter. The snow
lay a few inches deep and above it
formed a strong crust There was
much grass in the orchard, and this
formed the home of many field mice.
They he'd become hungry and worked
their way under the crust to the trees,
which they proceeded to attack under
the snow. Had the owner dug away
the snow from around his trees
enough to make sure they were not
being attacked, the mice would have
been discovered at work, and their
mischief stopped before 1t had gone
far. On plowed land or in orchards
where clean culture has been fol
lowed, there is little danger of this
but most Of the orchards are in grass
and so are liable to these attacks.

Ill By

ICopyright. By w. 9. Chapman.l

Mighty few men are good players
of both checkers and poker" said
Uncle lack Rogers pensively. so it
seems to me that Elder Allison was
harsh in his severe condemnation OF
his pet bear when he found that once
pious animal lad mixed up the two
games. The bear might have been
redeemed from paths of sin IL the
elder hadn't been SO hasty. AS it was,
the bear, after enduring q. few hayas
Bullets from the good dyer, fed 10
a life of careless vice. And he was
such good bear at first.
ELDER Allison had picked up the
bear when only a cub in the woods
one day. Some hunters had shot
its mother, and 1t was very hungry
and lonely furry baby. The elder took
the bear home with him, fed him, and
sort of adopted him as member of
the family. When the bear began to
grow a little 1t was evident that Jall
bets on bear intelligence wanted TRIBE
coppered If they were made against
the elders pet. He had the rest OF
his kindred chained to the post when
it came to knowing how to do things,
and to do them well. Ordinary bear
tricks were so easy for that intelli-
gent animal that he never had to be
shown them more than once; but
Elder Allison, who was pillar in
the village church, wouldn't teach his
pet any ordinary bear tricks. He
said they were frivolous and an abom-
ination to the truly good And Elder
Allison ranked class A in that divi-
sion.
"The good elder had only one real
diversion, and that was playing check
ers. Any time he could get up q
game of checkers he was happy
man, especially If there was small
bet on the side. Some of the church
people were sort of scandalized al
the elders taking these bets; but the
good man defended himself agains
any charge of gambling.

him to task for betting on his favorit'
game.
Gambling is betting on game o

Ple.FlNlsHINe COMBINATIONS.
Statements Based on a IL Weeks
Test at Colorado Station.

Corn and tankage makes a very
cheap and satisfactory ration, pro-
ducing largest gains.
Barley and tankage makes
cheaper ration than barley and wheat
or barley and peas. but not quite so
cheap as barley and shorts, although
producing second largest gains.
Barley, corn and alfalfa hay proved
a very satisfactory ration, being sec
ond only to corn and tankage In cheap
ness, and producing the third largest
gains of any ration.
Corn and alfalfa hay did not prove
satisfactory, being the costliest ration
used, with the exception of beet ra-
lions.
The three rations which included al
falfa hay make a somewhat better
showing than the allgrain rations.
Nine parts corn and one part tank
age produced best gains (133 pounds).
1t took 394 pounds of corn and AZ
pounds of tankage for 100 pounds
gain.
The next best gains we're made by
nine parts barley and one part tank
age. This ration produced 100 pounds
gain, AIT pounds barley and AZ pounds
tankage being required for 100 pounds
gain.
Alfalfa hay produced smaller gains
than tankage fed with these grains.
and more grain was required for the
production of 100 pounds gain.
The barley and hay fed pigs gained
1O9 pounds, 469 pounds Of barley and
60 pounds of alfalfa being required
for 100 pounds gain.
The corn and alfalfa pen gained only
80 pounds per head; while 556 pounds

last the poor bear gave sort of sui

in a doubtful way, as If he hated to
leave his old master.

The Potato Crop.

The potato crop is one of the best
crops that any farmer can grow. Po-
tatoes exhaust the land little in com
parison with the money value OF the
crop. The tubers are composed very
largely OF water and starch, and the
leaves and saIks fall on the field and
are plowed in. There are few diseases
that attack the potato, and they can
mostly be controlled by spraying.
Only one insect OF importance has to
be fought, and that is the Colorado
beetle. 1t is so big and easily found,
that destroying 1t Is merely q ques
ton of effort. Potato growing there
fore seems to have less obstacles in
It's way than several other kinds 81

sure in my own mind that wasn't
gambling, but I'm mighty glad to have
your Endorsement, pastor.
"And Elder Allison marched on
with the satisfied air of man who
has got the commentator of the
church on an innocent recreation.
The pastor seemed puzzled and not
wholly satisfied.
After awhile It got SO that all the
boys were sort of reluctant about
playing checkers with the elder. Even
when there wasn't any betting on
the game they didn't care to play,
for the elder always won. The
elder found it sort of lonely without
his favorite game. One evening the
thought came to him that he could
teach his pet bear to play the game,
The more he pondered over the
scheme the more satisfied he was that
it was a success.
Checkers isn't a game to be
lightly approached by man or beast,

bear; but you seem to have the In.

WINTER BARN THOUGHTS.
Have the Comfort of Live Stock In
Mind and Provide Good Conditions.

Winter is hard time for the stock
of the farm, the best way we can fix /
it. When you stop to think that natur-
ally stock are out-of-door creatures,
roaming In the fields, breathing the |
pure, fresh air, and then think how
changed are the conditions when they |
come to be shut up in tight barns, for
such a long portion of the year, 1t be-
comes evident that the tendency must
be toward weakness and disease. So
1t stands us in hand to make the CON
ditions just as nearly like those OF
summer as we can. That il, we should
do our best to give the stock good
feed, feed that shall be nourishing,
and at the same time plenty OF air
| that Is free from disease germs.
| 1t must be that great deal of the
sickness, such as tuberculosis, comes
from breathing the same air over and
over again In the close stables of our
country.
By running a board shaft from the
stable, very near to the floor clear up
to the roof, we may take a good deal
of the impure air out You know
that air that has been breathed once
becomes heavier than 1t is at first
There are loads of impurity in simply
air that has been used in the lungs
of man or beast. This settles toward
the floors. The shaft l have spoken
of will take that air, and there being
more or less of draft through such
a shaft, the foul air will be lifted out,
while pure air will come in from be-
, low.
! This pure air ought not to come in
so that the cattle must stand all the
> time in a draft The windows should
be arranged so that they may furnish
air without bringing a draft. Again
I these windows ought to be windows
/. and not simply board slides. Good
a sash windows that are fitted with
n hinges to turn up out of the way are
\ by far the best. They let in light

How much sharper than ser
penis tooth is an ungrateful bear the
elder used to sigh after the bear had
won a victory over him at checkers.
Probably you cheated when ! wasn't
looking, or you couldn't have won that
game. guess you hac better go
without breakfast tomorrow to
teach you that the way OF the trans
gressor is hard when he is found
out
Anyone who could have cheated
the elder in d game Of checkers could
have stolen a buzz-saw in motion; but
as the elder had charge of the ra-
lions, the good bear soon learned that
such victories were Improbable.
Just about the time the elder
thought he had his bear well trained
at the checker game, and that 1t was
about time for him to try and get
a few bets from the rest of the boys
against the bear, he was called to the
city ON important business which
would probably keep him away about
three months. He couldn't very well
take the bear with him, for, even Il

right. When pen Of pigs is sold it
