Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS a matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work

he Mule.

There are few farmers who give the mule just due as an all-round ser viceable and patient worker on the farm. The mule is essentially farm beast and is only about half appre- ciated. He can endure more than a horse, is less subject to illness and eats less. He will work under any conditions; always do his best and is the safest of all beasts of bur den," says the Buffalo Live Stock Record.
 True, he is unattractive but who wants to use the mule for a road >ster? For work in the field mules are far more serviceable than horses and besides, they are not as high strung and nervous and have not that fretful disposition which characterizes horses. Flies bother mules but little at least, they don't show it-and the heat of the summer has comparatively little effect upon them. Inns is wor- thy of consideration when 'cultivating corn during fly time The horse will not walk straight as a consequence of getting rid of flies, while the mule is obliyious of their presence.
 The mule has the good qualities of both horse and ass and seems to have none of their bad ones Hes plodder and contented one.

Winter Green Foods.

If roots and enSilage improve the health of animals, and cheapen ths cost of food, as claimed by agricul- tural experts, they will do the same thing for fowls, says Thomas Owen in the Kansas Farmer Now that feed stuffs are so high in price, it is too expensive to feed grain exclusive ly, when the winters are long and se- were, and as the hens prefer variety of feed, they should have it. A quart of cornmeal, added to half peck of turnips, will provide a better meal than can be procured from either the cornmeal Or the turnips if either are fed alone. It is the mixed feed, the combination of various elements, that enables the hen to provide the differ ent substances that make up the con- bination called an egg. Lime, phos- phates, nitrogen, magnesia, and even water, are elements that are abso- lutely essential, and many foods con- tain an excess of some kinds and a deficiency of another. When a mixed feed is given, there is partially bal ancing of the needed elements, and the several varieties assist in digest ing each other, thereby avoiding waste of undigested food. Finely chopped ensllage, or clover or alfalfa, potatoes, turnips, carrots, beets or any succulent bulky food, served with an admiXture of variety Of ground grain will provide the hens with a larger supply of egg elements and entail less loss for food than when the hens are compelled to sub sist entirely on grain and the cost is very materially reduced.

MiIkmen's Union.

About six months ago Chicago pass ed an ordinance to the effect that af ter January l every drop of milk that was shipped into the city would have to be from herds that had been test ed for tuberculosis, and it had been shown that the cattle were free from the dreaded disease, or else the milk would have to be pastueriZed before it was sold for consumption. The law in itself is perfectly right and just to all concerned, producers, deal CTS and consumers, but the trouble arises in the fact that the dairymen thought they could get the act killed before January l, consequently they are now up against it. The city is trying to hold strictly to it's munich pal laws, while the farmers in the vicinity are trying to break them. Eighteen thousand Illinois milkmen have formed a union to better fight this legislation. The prices of dairy products are nearly out of sight. Talk of IS cent milk and dollar butter makes the people begin to wonder if they had not better give the dairy men time to at least erect pasturiz- ing plants,-Oklahoma Farmer
