EXPERIMENT in LAMB FEEDING
In THE WEST
from Feedc corbinations-By G.
E. Morton. Wyoming

The Wyoming experiment station
have just concluded years investi-
CATION in lamb feeding with view to
ascertaining the best ration.
Three experiments were carried on
at the same time. Previous expert
ments with small numbers OF lambs
had shown that oats and oil meal
seemed to balance the native hay ra-
tion about as we'll as any grains tried.
Therefore. one lot of 40 lambs was fed
this ration and another lot was fed al
falfa hay and corn. Shropshire Meri-
no cross-bred lambs were used.
A comparison of peas in the field
and pea hay was made with two lots
of Cotswold grade lambs, having 40
lambs in each lot.
All the lambs were fed in uncovered
yards protected by a high board fence.
with the exception of the lambs, upon
peas in the field. These were run in
small areas fenced with woven wire,
the fences being moved as necessary.

but when compared with alfalfa and
corn the pea hay is a poor ration.
By comparing Lots 7 and we find
that Scotch barley and bald barley are
practically equal in value when fed
with native hay and oil meal. A study
OF Lot 0 shows that speit is not near
ly equal to either bald or Scotch bar
ley when fed with native hay and oil

The larlbs eating pea hay made the
low gain of 16.9 pounds per head In
IA weeks. 1t required 1.472 pounds of
the hay to produce 100 pounds gain
in live weight. This poor showing for
pea hay is borne out by the results
gotten with Lot 10. which contained
very different class of lambs and
was not carried on in comparison with
Lot 6. but which shows still poorer

The pea hay seemed very unsatisfac-

established by this experiment with
regard to the amount of pea hay need

gain, yet II can be definitely stated
that 1t gives unsatisfactory results for
fattening lambs. The lambs do not

Previous to taking the freshmen
from the hall where the dance was
held. the seniors and other students
had torn the flags and banners from
the walls of the dance hall. Red pep

over the floor. while the freshmen and
their partners were whirling around to

Failure of the freshmen to invite

the other students during the after

Real Purpose Of Life

St James asks: What is thy life?"
and his own answer to the question is
For ye are a vapor, that appeareth
for little time. and then vanisheth
away" The brevity of life has been
the subject of deep thought and of
anxious solicitude in all ages of the
world. The poet tells us: Our birth
is nothing but our death begun" 1t
is likened to dream, a shadow, a
vapor, swift flying cloud, or the au-
tumn leaf Such is life this life we
are living away; this life that will
so soon be over; this life on whose
transient breath hangs everlasting
destiny.
But we fail to appreciate life's
meaning if we spend our time in sigh
ing over its brevity. Life is not mere.
ly vapor that presently vanisheth. it
is a journey to fixed destination. We
are not only going, but we are going
somewhere; not into the depths of a
mystic solitude to be extinguished
and forgotten. Our destiny is not an
Inhalation and nothingness. To go for.
