Feed for Cows.

TIE cow likes variety OF food, and
1t pays to give it to her. For the stim-
ulation Of the appetite and aid in di-
gestion, some of her feeds should be
green and succulent, such as roots and
silage for winter. Some linseed meal
should be given at frequent intervals
1t is not only rich feed, but an ex-
cellent regulator of the digestive or
gans. Glover and alfalfa hay are both
rich in milk-forming elements, and give
bulk to the ration. Some corn should
be given daily, especially through the
cold months, as cows greatly relish the
grain, and it helps in forming butter
fat and in producing animal fat. Give
the cows about all they will eat up
clean of each feed, but shift changes
often, not only the kinds, but the
amounts of each kind, at different
times. This change gives a stimulat-
ing variety to feeds, and the cows
thrive and produce on it.

1t may not be generally known that
James Whitcomb Riley, the poet, was
at one time a sign painter and good
one, 1t is said, His place Of business
was at Peru, Ind, and his partner was
w. ]. Ethel, later for many years an
employe of the United States Senate.
Riley forsook paints and oils for the
painting of word pictures, but Ethel
could never get over his fondness for
brush and cOlors. One of his duties in
the Senate was to put out the weather
map. On clustering winter days SEN
ators used to find the maps borders
decorated with scenes from tropical
jungles, and when the sessions were
prolonged and the weather got hot ice
bergs used to surround the map which
told of depressing heat. Senators used
to make mock bets as to whether it
was hot enough to "melt Ethels ice
bergs"
One day Riley, who had not heard
from his former partner for years, was
a caller at the capitol. Vice-P President
(then senator) Fairbanks was showing
him the sights. They stopped in front
of the weather map.
"Ethel, by thunder! exclaimed Ri,
ley.
There was joyful reunion.

To Fatten Fowls.

A good method for fattening fowls
is given by a reader: Shue the fowls
up in dark place, with just enough
light for them to see to eat, and sup.
ply them we'll with grit and water.
Corn meal, ground oats, cracked wheat
and shorts mixed in equal portions
should be fed. Feed them as often
during the day as they will clean up
the food, and bear in mind the impOr-
tance Of "stuffing" them. They should
be fed after dark every evening, as
well as very early each morning. Half
a dozen fowls together will fatten more
rapidly than large number, and If it
is practical to pen them off, six to a
pen is the right number. Give no green
stuff to these fowls, but rations Of
cooked potatoes, rice, corn bread,
cracked corn and whole wheat may be
given. Fowls crowded and stuffed in
this way should be in fine condition In
three weeks.

Eye Exercise.

parent irrelevant question put = by
the distinguished oculist to the woman
who had complained Of having bad
eyes. Higher than the roofs of the
surrounding houses"
"Oh, yes;" said the woman, "a good
deal higher"

he, ''is to go up there every day and
look around for half an hour. That
will do you more good than glasses.
One trouble with your eyes, and with
many pairs Of eyes in New York, is
that you exercise them so little at long
range. They are used to looking at
short distances only. Long distance
looking is good for you. Persons who
habitually have a wide expanse Of
sea or plain to gaze upon very seldom
have weak eyes. OF course you cam
not move out to the plains, neither
can you spend your life on the ocean

ell across the Hudson river every day,
and advise you to do it."-New York

The Frozen-Meat Trade.

Frozen Chinese pork is to be import
ed into England, which recalls to the
mind of writer in the London Chron-
icle the fact that the frozen meat trade
is nearly century old. On Jan. 30,
1916, three Eskimos arrived at Har-
wich, England, by the packet from
Gothenburg, bringing five sledges pack
ed with ptarmigan, blackjack and 9th
er game, frozen and packed in alright
cases. The enterprising Northerners
had to pay over $3.50 duty on the con-
signment and $50 for carriage from
Harwich to London; but, as the game
was in excellent condition, 1t found a
ready sale and brought high prices.
The Eskimos did so well out Of the
speculation that they remained in Eng
land for several months, spending their
profits in royal fashion; but, despite
the success Of the experiment, it does
not appear to have been repeated.

Its continuation was IN a little town

and thirty ragged soldiers A month
later he had thousand insurgents and
twenty tons of munitions, and his
blood had drunk In the fever that
burns up the years in hours. The first
thing Vincent did under its spell was
to march ON Ocos and take 1t. When
the town was his and the comandante
In irons, the young man took out of his
pocketbook little list of names, made
out In Maria Rivas' hand. He COM
pared this list with the list Of prison
ers, and ordered out firing squad
Half an hour later the shadow of the
flag made by the woman in the Vale
10 street fiat wavered over the sand ON
which lay six men in a tangle. Gen
eralissimo Thomas Vincent went out
into the sun and looked at the last pos
lures Of the six, and then out across
the brimming waters Of the Pacific. A
mail steamer lay out there in the midst
Of a cluster Of canoes, the American
flag dropping from her staff.
An Irishman in majors uniform
| came out of the cool of the barracks
and stopped beside Vincent Another
week ought to see us in the capital"
he said slowly. But | don't like this
business, general. These beggars don't
amount to anything. Why did you or

A barefoot girl of some ten years
crept around the corner Of the sum
baked wall. She picked her way over
the sand, darting hot .glances fearfully
at the two officers. Suddenly she
stopped over the crooked body Of one
Of the motionless ones. She tugged at
the sleeve Of a shirt, and as the face
| turned slightly upward to her effort,
she fell to beating on the ground with
both hands, and sobbed In the heat,
dry eyed.
Vincent strode over to her, and gen.
| tly picked her up. Her quick sObs did
not cease as he carried her into the
| shade, his own face drawn and white.
| He looked over at the major, who
stood gnawing on his stubby mustache.
He did not reply to the question until
the major repeated 1t angrily. ut was

folds Of her scanty gown to the young
generals throat, and the major saw
him set the burden softly down, and
then fall forward, the blood pouring
around the blade Of a knife deep In his
throat.
With an oath the major leaped over
to him and lifted his head. Vincent's
eyes looked clearly into his. Then the
wounded man looked over at the little
girl, poised for fight dozen feet
away. He nodded at her with an air
Of absolute comprehension, and then

OPTIMISM.

The west winds blow, and, singing low,
hear the glad streams run;
, The windows Of my soul l throw
Wide open to the sun.
No longer forward or behind
/ look In hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good find,
The best OF now and here.
I break my pilgrim staff lay
Aside the toiling oar;
The angel sought SO far away
welcome at my door.
The airs of spring may never play
Among the ripening corn,
Nor freshness of the flowers Of May
Blow through the autumn morn.
Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look
Through fringed lids to Heaven,
And the pale aster in the brook
Shall see it's image given.
The woods shall wear their reoss ei
praise,
The south winds softly sigh.
And sweet calm days in golden haze,
Melt down the amber sky.
And so the shadows fall apart,
And so the west winds play;
And all the windows Of my heart
/ open to the day.

SUFFERING TO BE CURED.
Vienna Public Schools Give q Special
Course for Afflicted Pupils.

Vienna Public Schools Give a Special
Course for Afflicted Pupils.
An interesting addition to the course
Of instruction in the public schools OF
Vienna is to be made in short time
by providing classes in four districts
to overcome the defects In speech Of
children who stutter. United States
Consul General Rublee at Vienna, who
reports this matter to the State De-
partment, says that the length Of he
course Is five weeks and instruction
is to be given during two hours OF
each weekday. The children are to
withdraw from other school attendance,
as it Is essential that they devote them
selves exclusively to the course for the
cure of suffering.
The cooperation of the parents is es-
pecially important to the success OF
the cure. During the period of the spe-
cial instruction 1t is necessary that
the children have separate room at
home where they can practice the exer-
cises given them without any disturb
ance whatsoever. The parents must I'M
dertake to have the children practice
their exercises at home for at least four
hours daily and during the first two
weeks not to allow them to speak at
all except to practice the exercises pre-
scribed by the course Of instruction.
Keeping silent is of such Importance
that the success Of the course depends
upon this requirement being strictly OBJ
served. Parents are particularly ad-
vised never to cast any doubt upon the
effectiveness of the course or Of the
teachers. 1t Is we'll known that stut--
terers lack self-confdence, and this
must be taken in account in the treat
ment. The children should be encour-
aged by calling attention to progress
that has been made, for Sufferers are
extremely susceptible to praise. Par
ents, however, should be careful to
make no experiments and to make no
tests.
At the end Of the five weeks course
the instructor brings each pupil back
to his regular school and indicates to
his teacher what has been accom-
plished, besides giving advice concern
ing his further instruction. The teach
er Is requested to try to encourage and
make permanent the new habits ac-
quired. Children who have taken the
special course in suffering are exam
ined afterward each month In order to
determine what permanent results have
been obtained.

Plan now your home forest. In this
twentieth century there is no large
farm so valuable in its products but
that it can afford an artificial grove.
We must not now judge by past ex
perience. but by the light of the pres
ent.
But the forest you are about to plant
may be more or less valuable. Make it
more 50 by wise selections. The day Of
the box-elder and cottonwood is over.
1t might pay to plant them rather than
nothing, but you may do better. Plant
the ash. the catalpa. the larch. Plant
nut trees and the oaks.
Timber is better than the precious
metals. While 1t looks long to the har.
vest, it is one Of the surest of crops.
Land owners must awake to their op-
portunity, for there is money In trees.

Farm Law.

Laws governing the ownership OF
real estate have been evolved from the
mutual rights Of man to the soil and
his relations to his fellow man and the
public welfare. Ownership Of land is
one Of the great upholding forces Of
modern civilization. No man, however,
acquires right to real estate that he
can maintain against the public well
fare, which has the power to condemn
property needed for public use, or that
Is menace to public life and health
All mems rights in real estate are cir
cumscribed by the rights of adjoining
owners and the paramount interests Of
the general government, which can take
possession Of the property after ap-
praisal and condemnation for the gen.
eral welfare. If the government did
not retain the right to condemn and
take property belonging to private par
ties, then the individual holding would
progress and public improvements.
All real estate Is defined and circum-
scribed by boundary corners and lines
as established by government survey.
The States are divided into counties,
and the counties subdivided into town.
ships and the townships into sections
Of $40 acres. Each section is divided
into quarter sections with appropriate
descriptions in the conveyance Of the
property. The meridian lines were
used in description of real estate, and
in the government survey section and
quarter section corners are established
to mark the boundaries of public lands.
In purchasing land it is well in-the
preliminary examination to ascertain
the corners and boundary lines Of the
property and ascertain If the adjoining
owner Is satisfied with the division
fences. If one purchases eighty acres
and he apprehends that the land Is

have the property surveyed before the
transfer is made. The government cor

easily removed, and if the corner Is so
designated subsequent surveys may
make the property more or less than
the description, but cannot change the
monumental corners established by the
original government survey.
Farms are occupied individually and
not In severalty, and the new pur-
chaser should ascertain before closing
the purchase the division of the line
fences which inclose the property and
discover If such division is satisfactory
to adjoining property holders, as ex-
pensive litigation has often grown out
Of misunderstanding of land bound
aries and division fences. Every pur-
chase of real estate should be hedged
about by the removal Of every obstacle
that might cause a misunderstanding
between neighbors.-Goodalls Farmer

1t is generally believed that the load
pulls easier IL put well forward on the
wagon. But this is not so on the ordl
nary wagon, where the hind wheels are
larger than the front ones. Should the
wheels be equal in size, the load should
be equally distributed. If the trucks
are so low down that the horses have an
upward pull on the load, then 1t would
be all right to put the load well for
ward. The load should be proportional
to the surface contact of the wheels
A large wheel sinks less than a small
one; therefore, the load should be
heaviest on the hind wheels. Distrib.
ute the weight so that no one wheel
or no one side is carrying the greater
share, lest 1t make the draft excessive
for the tonnage carried.
