In Justice To Xanthippe.

To speak Ill of one who is dead and
cannot defend him or herself is gen
orally conceded to be disgraceful
deed. Yet from generation to genera
tion this has been done in the case of
Mrs. Socrates (nee Xanthippe), says
Katherine Smith, who undertakes
defense of that much-abused lady in
the Smart Set.
Xanthippe's parents were poor but
proud when Socrates sought her hand
in marriage. She began life hampered
with many drawbacks. There was her
name, long, and beginning with that
rarely heard consonant, X. She was
the Youngest of a noble family, and
the rest of the alphabet had been ex-
hausted in providing for her 23 broth
ers and sisters.
What could be her endearing nick
name? Was it XanISe? Could it be
Thipre? Not at all. The modest
shrinking child grew up to woman
hood as Xanthippe, lived as Xanthippe
died as Xanthippe. Centuries after
her death the word is used to illus
trate the alphabet as one of the few
word. beginning with the mellifuous
but G,ldom encountered. letter X. She

The lambs on native hay ate less
hay than those fed alfalfa. and the
lambs fed pea hay ate only 200 pounds
of hay per head, which was less than
the amount of hay and grain eaten by
any other lot.
Lots 1 and constituted second
trial of native hay, oats, and oil meal,
in comparison with alfalfa hay and
corn. In experiments conducted the
preyious winter with small lots of
lambs upon various grain rations and
native hay. the ration made up OF ma
tive hay, oats and oil meal proved TO
be the best of those tried, the lambs
making gain of ia pounds per head
in IA weeks, against 2S.6 pounds made
by the lot on alfalfa hay and corn. The
present experiment with 40 lambs in
each lot shows an average gain OF
2O.3 pounds in IA weeks by the lambs
on native hay, oats, and oil meal, and
34.3 pounds by the lambs on Alfalfa
hay and corn.
The amount of feed required was
GOT pounds of native hay. AGO pounds

100 pounds of gain. In the previous
experiment 574 pounds of hay, 591
mounds of oats, and sc pounds of oil

The results of these two expert

somewhat less than two-thirds the gain
produced by alfalfa hay and corn in
the same length of time, and also re-
ouires considerably more feed to pro-
duce 100 pounds gain.
Wild sweet clover is common along
irrigation bitches and in waste spots,
and since it withstands alkali well
and gives a heavy tonnage of hay, it
should prove a desirable hay crop in
many sections. Stockmen commonly
helieye that sweet clover is useless
as a forage plant, but cattle and sheep
will eat the growing plant If 1t is
not too large and coarse, and the ex-
periment here reported shows that
lambs eat the hay readily and make
good gains from it.
Comparing Lots ana D, we Hnu
that the sweet clover lambs made an
average gain of 30.7 pounds in IA
weeks, while the alfalfa lambs made
34.4 pounds gain. The former ate
one-sixth more hay, somewhat more
corn, and a small amount of oil meal

There was not the slightest difficulty

The lambs 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
