Raise Your Own NIenf.

Years ago I wrote of visiting a
mans farm, where all the land was
in cotton right up to the house stand
ing implanted in a bare field. A
hopeless looking woman was frying
some Western bacon for the dinner,
while the man toiIed in the cotton.
And / got to thinking over the mat
ter. There was no stock on the place
but the mules that worked the cotton.
And IS 1 saw that bacon 1 thought
that some farmer out West raised
that hog, and probably made some
thing out of it. Some railroad car
ried it to Chicago, and certainly made
money. Some packer bought and
cured the meat, and grew to be a mil
lionaire. Another railroad brought 1t
South and paid dividends by doing it.
Some merchant bought 1t, and sold it
to that man out there in the cotton
field at a big proft-and he works all
summer in the cotton making all
these people prosperous out of his
one crop, while at the end of the year
he is as poor as ever, and his land
grows less and less productive, while
he might have made all those profits
himself in raising the bacon at home.
The Western farmer makes corn,
the railroads haul it, the merchant
buys it and sells it to the man who
could raise the corn at more profit
than the Western farmer if he i'm
proved his land. Yet he goes on in
the old hopeless way, imagining that
cotton is the only thing to get money
out of, and that corn, oats and wheat
are only supplies" and the Western
farmer gets rich supplying him.

WHEN THE SCHOOLGIRL RINGS.

Wen the schoolbell rings on the op'n-

When it calls the boys and the girls
from play,
And thel get their books and march

To its ding, dong dingl and its ding,
dong, dong!
What a sad sweet song does the old
bell sing,
With its ding, dong, dong! and its
ding, dong, ding!
Yet, we must not shirk and we must
not shrink
From its stern tingle, ling, and its
cruel tinkle, link!
But we hop and skip and we laugh
and sing
To its jolly tinkle, link! and its
merry Jingle ling!
When the school bell taps on the
closing day,
and the boys and girls scamper back
to play,
O, the endless fun its tap f~oretellsi
They could all but dance to the sound
of the bell!.
What a sad sweet joy on a closing
day,
At the last soft tap, just to steal
away
From restraint and rule, from the
chart and book
To the woods and fields, to the wind
ing brook,
For a full three months, even more
perhaps,
Who knows. who cares, when the

When the schoolbeN rings with its

To its ding, dong, dong! fond
mem'ries cling;
And I scarce can work, I can only
think
OF its soft tingle, hing! and its sweet
tinkle, link!
'Twere a sad sweet joy one again
to sing
To its jolly tinkle, link! and its
merry Jingle, ling!

Who wishes that he were a boy

Protein in a Ration For Cows.

j. H. R., Schell, w. Va, writes: I
am feeding milk COWS equal parts of
cornmeal and bran. Would an addi-
ton of cottonseed meal be beneficial?
How should it be fed in proportion to
the cornmeal and bran? Is there any
danger attending the feeding of cot
tonseed meal?
Answer by Professor Soule: Your
grain ration would be improved by
making it equal parts of cornmeal,
bran and cottonseed meal. Presum-
ing that you are feeding as much as
ten to twelve pounds of grain a day
to a COW weighing 500 to 1000 pounds
the mixture might consist of four
pounds of cornmeal three pounds of
wheat bran and three pounds Of cot
tonseed meal. We have fed a. ration
Of two-thirds cornmeal and cotton
seed meal to COWS with very good re-
suits, particularly where we were
maintaining them on silage and feed
ing some leguminous hay derived
from clover, alfalfa or cowpeas. Cot
tonseed meal can easily be fed tn
cows without any danger whatever If
nationally used. You should remem-
Der, however, that a pound OF cotton
seed meal contains more than three
times as much digestible protein as a
pound of wheat bran, and that it is,
therefore. a very concentrated food
stun, and can not be fed carelessly or
in too large amounts without a likeli-
hood of deranging the digestive Or
gans of your COWS Those who have
fed cottonseed meal and found it I'M
satisfactory have generally not han
died It in an intelligent manner.
While three pounds is about the right
amount to feed a COW per day, even
four or five pounds have been fed
for long periods without injury under
good management. We would prefer
to see the cottonseed meal limited to
two or three pounds per head per day,
as its great virtue is to supply protein
to balance up the corn and other one
sided grain crops produced on the ma
jority of our farms.

Here and There.

The man who makes the proposition
should be studied as closely as the
proposition itself.
Your mistake often is as big as the
other fellow 's-but the other fellows
looks worse..1
Women spend most Of the money,
otherwise there would not be enough
to do business with.
It takes a wise man to teach anoth-
er to do right, but a fool can show
him how to do wrong.
There are those who, if they owned
the world, would still have that which
they could not operate.
It may be all right to be strenuous
If some one else will stand the expense
and let you reap the profits.
We are strong in the muscles we
use, and it is so with every faculty OF
the soul, and every attribute of the
mind.
A good tonic; Halve you food,
double your drinking water, treble
your consumption of pure air, and
quarduple yonr laughter.

rha Beagle a Rabbit Dog.

The beagle is the rabbit dog. He Is
best adapted by size, pace, nose and
tongue for this work. Large hounds,
or even those of the barrier type,
cannot do the work so well and are
more at a loss on quick turns and
doublings, to say nothing of their
seeming something radically wrong
in pursuing bunny with dogs adoapt-
ed to larger and stronger game. The
beagle and the rabbit were made one
for the other, and properly done,
there is no better day to be had afeld
than n with a good pack of these
little dogs. It is a pack you must
have. One dog or two or three are
not the same thing at all. Take sew
en- or eight of the little fellows, we'll
matched, and go afeld on foot and
get your game. Then Molly Cotton
tail will take on a new value in your
eyes. To see a pack once, running
swiftly, tonguing merrily, picking up
the turns, at a loss for a moment,
scattering, catching the trial, packing
again on the re-discovered. scent and
finally running thir game to the death
in the open, will convert you, first IN
to a beagle lover, and second, into an
advocate of hard condition in the
feld.-Todd Russell in The Outing
Magazine for February. So.-S-'O9.
