STOCK NOTES.

Quality and type are not so essen
tial in feeding aged steers as in feed
ing calves, provided the purchase
price is proportionate.
Pigs will root more in spring when
the ground is soft than at any other
time. Feeding regularly with coal,
charcoal ashes, other mineral mat
ter and tankage will reduce the root
ing inclination. Rings should be used
in extreme cases.
Sows narrowing III the spring should
be provided with extra dry shelter and
bedding. Pigs and other baby ami
mails can endure considerable cold pro
viding they are kept dry.
Keep the colts and calves thrifty
and growing at this period. They
need a variety and abundance of feed
at this season to put them in shape
for best growth on summer pasture.
Keep up the grain ration. An occa-
sional feed of oats and wheat bran
will help. Linseed meal is good for
young stock, loosening the bowels and
furnishing protein for development of
muscle.

A Time CHARGE.

A benevolent New Yorker recently
employed two girls to do a special
piece of work in his office. When II
was completed he found that one girl
being expert, had done great deal
more than the other one. Being un
certain what he ought to pay them he
decided to leave that question to them
The expert girl set her price and, to
his amazement, the other girl charged
considerably more.
How is that?" he asked. miss
Swift charges me a great deal less
than you do for the same amount OF
work"
Certainly" reasoned Miss Young
ut took me great deal longer to dc
1t than it did her ought to be paid

The benevolent New Yorker re
flected, murmured something about
her manifest qualifications for the
plumbing business, and finally compro-
missed with them both by sagacious
deal In candy.

YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG
WOMEN WANTED.

The demand is greater than the
supply, and large number OF young
men and women are wanted at once
to complete courses of bookkeeping
and shorthand in the Columbus Bust
ness College of Columbus, Miss.
During the past two weeks we have
received far more calls for our gradu-
ates than we could supply. We have
not now and have not had not for
some time a single graduate of book
keeping and shorthand out of a posi-
ton whose application is on our enl-
pigment bureau on file. This fact
should be quite encouraging to the
young people who have been hesitat-
ing to spend time and money for a
business education, fearing that they
could not secure employment when
their courses were finished. We can
assure every one who takes our course
of bookkeeping and shorthand that
they will be placed promptly upon the
completion OF their course. We can
also assure them that they will be
placed in good position which will
be highly satisfactory to them.
If you have not sufficient means
with which to pay your way through
school, write US and state frankly your
condition and we will submit to you

at Aberdeen, on the Terrill plantation

plantations demolished. Growing crops
we're ruined, and the ground packed
