Feed the Colt.

The colt must not be neglected at
this season of the year. II must be
kept growing and developing. Though
it may be sucking the dam and eating
what grass there is in the pasture, it
should 10Y be getting oats besides. A
little bran mixed in the oats win make
the ration all the better. Remember
that the colt Is growing-or at least
should b~e-every day. and therefore
needs increased rations in proportion
TO the growth and development II is
capable Of making. Now. as tSe pas.
lures are short and dry. and the dana
is giving less milk, II requires special
feeding. IS 1t cannot n longer get
all that Is necessary to make proper
growth from these sources.

Steers which are narrow just back OF

kets particularly the proportion of
higher-priced meat should be taken
into consideration; that is, select
steers which will turn out the largest
percentage of high.priced cuts. When
fattening for local markets, especial

Addison Spriggs, Friend
of the ToiIing Masses
BY s. e. Kiser.

Laying aside his paper, Addison
Spriggs leaned back in his chair and
INDUCED in solemn thought. Gradual
ly he became possessed of the con-
viction that he had duty to perform.
He had just read Household Hint"
In which it was candidly stated that
there was more sustenance in five
cents worth of peanuts than In a
pound of beef. Having pondered for
a time he reached for his hat, saying:
Il have no right to keep this knowl-
edge from the oppressed and unen-
lightened masses. 1t may be that
have 1t within my power to become a
nberator Indeed l may have been
sent into the world for the purpose
OF lifting the populace out of bondage
Who knows that the chance which
placed the page containing that item
beneath my eye was not providential?
If the horny-handed son of toll may
by purchasing a tive-cent bag of pea
nuts for his loved ones be relieved of
the necessity of submitting to the ar
rogance of the butcher we shall have
a social upheaval such as has never
hitherto been upheaved. 1t is my duty
to act"
Clapping his hat upon his head, Ad-
olson Spriggs went forth for the pur-
pose of preaching the value of the
peanut and thereby dealing a death
blow to the meat trust From de-
scendant of the Caesars he purchased
bag of peanuts for the purpose of re-
lieving distress and making such
demonstrations as might be necessary.
He had not proceeded far when he
perceived poorly dressed woman
who was entering butcher shop. Fol-
lowing her inside, he waited for her
to give her order. A large red-faced
man with bloody hands, after saving
through bone, made a few deft
f1ourishes with a long knife, and then
flung hunk of beef upon the scales.
