Opportunity.
Concerning the comfortable quarters
that are SO necessary for the wee
lambs Joseph E. Wing has advised as
follows in his book on sheep farming
in America:
There must be provided small room
or pen in which the lambs can go and
the ewes cannot. This place must be
Of very convenient access, so that it Is
really easier for the lamb to go in than
to remain outside. This Is because
lambs have fleeting memories and are
largely the creatures of opportunity
They will consume much more feed
when it is right at their mouths thar
If they have to 60 even few rods t.

CHEAP FEEDING.

A Practica! Kansas Farmer Tells How
He Does 1t.
At one Of the meetings during the
last Farmers week" ut the Kansas
State Agricultural college DR.. J. r. Az
tell made talk of special interest in
regard to different ways OF feeding
alfalfa
Alfalfa. according to Dr. Axtell. con-
tains from eleven to sixteen and one
half parts protein and forty parts car
bohydrates. while corn ranges about
one-half that amount of protein and
one-third that amount of carbohy-
.drates.
You will see there. he says. that it
requires considerably more corn to af-
ford an animal the same amount Of
protein that he would get from a given
quantity of alfalfa meal Now. we
have found that an animal (horse or
cow needs about two and one-half
pounds Of protein and twelve and one.
half pounds of carbohydrates per day.
Alfalfa is wasted feeding as hay,
and the meal is too rich as a single
feed, so we mix pound for pound of
alfalfa meal and ground corn, and in q
twenty-five pound feed we have the re.
quired amount of both protein and
carbohydrates.
When we were feeding alfalfa as hay
we found that the average amount
eaten by each horse per day was from
sixty to eighty pounds. They are now
allowed fifteen pounds of alfalfa mea
per day and are doing as we'll on the
heavy hay feed.
For Cows and Swine.
A cow giving a good flow of milk
gets an average feed of about six OF
seven and one-half pounds Of alfalfa
meal and one-half to hree-fourths ga!
Ions of ground corn. while our driving
horses get ration mixed With threi
pounds of alfalfa meal ard two pound:
Of ground corn three times per day
with. one feed a day of about fve
pounds of prairie hay
Our ration for swine is mixed with q
bit more of corn in the proportion than
tn the ration for horse or COW. don't
believe any Of you have stock doing
better than mine, and / know you are
not feeding as cheaply as am.

CHiCOEY FIRST USED By DUTCH
War Blockade Responsible For Dis
Covcry of Good Qualities
of the Root.

Although chicory was probably
mans as a pot herb, it remained for
the Hollanders about 200 years ago to
discover that the roots of the chicory
plant dried, ground and roasted pro-
duced drink like coffee, both pal
atable and healthful
During the Napoleonic wars strict
blockade of the continent of Europe
was maintained and all importations
of coffee, tea and cocoa ceased. This
forced the people to turn to chicory
as a beverage and it soon came into
general use.
So good was it's taste, so rich was
its aroma that the new beverage at
once became exceedingly popular
with the good Dutch housewives, who
are known the world over for their
ability as cooks.
After the war, when ample supply
of coffee could be secured, the Hol-
landers were loath to give up their
chicory. AS a result they blended
coffee and chicory and produced good
old Dutch coffee, now served in nearly
all hotels, restaurants and homes in
Europe.
Not only did this blend produce
that rich aroma and favor, but 1t
was found that chicory counteracted
the bad effects of straight coffee.
Those who found ordinary coffee in
furious drank the combination and 1t
proved both refreshing and healthful.
Thus it is seen that chicory has
been used for centuries in Europe,
| where it is regarded as necessary
addition to coffee.
Americans began using chicory as
soon as they realized it was put on
| the market to improve the quality OF
, coffee and not in any spirit Of dishon-
esty. Fortunately the new United
States pure food law requires all
makers to state on their packages
what the contents are, and this pro-
! tects the buyer from all substitutes
| for pure coffee and pure chicory and
insures a grade equal to that from
which the old fashioned Dutch bever
| age is made.
Through our foreign born citizens
so consistently demanding it the mer
! its of chicory have become known by
word of mouth until those who have
| heretofore been disappointed in Sc
curing the rich, full coffee flavor il
| their morning beverage have foune
! that by buying coffee mixed will
chicory they secure the exact combin
| alton they have been seeking.

Some men spend most Of their lives
making the rest miserable.
Some men are so little that they can
not see the greatness Of trifles.
Some men will waste four dollars
worth of time trying to save twenty
five cents.
Some men think they see everything.
They are the ones who invariably $50 it

Some men are so dishonest that they
suspect every honest man of playing a
game too deep for them to get on to.
Some men are only little removed
from their monkey ancestors-they are
always busy, yet never accomplish any
thing.
Some men, who readily admit that a
straight line is the shortest distance be-
tween two mathematical points, cannot
see that exactly the same principle ap-
plies in morals.
Some men manage to succeed in spite
of their most earnest endeavors.-War-
