Memory flynn for January.

Father, let me dedicate
All this year to Thee,
In whatever worldly state
Thou wilt have me be.
Not from sorrow, pain, or care,
Freedom dare 1 claim;
Phis alone shall be my prayer; @
Glorify Thy name.
Can child presume to choose
Where or how to live?
Can q Fathers love refuse
All the best to give?
More Thou givest every day
Than the best can claim,
Nor wiihhOldest sught that may
GIorify Thy name.
n In mercy Thou wilt spare
Joys that yet are mine;
n ON life, serene and fair,
Brighter rays may shine,-
Let my glad heart, while II sings,
Thee In all proclaim,
And whate'er the future brings,
Glorify Thy name.
II Thou caIIest to the cross,
And its shadow come,
Turning all my gain to loss,
Shrouding heart aud home
Let me think how Thy dear son
To His glory came,
And in deepest woe pray on,
"Glorify Thy nanIe."

MILO for F.ttenIng Beet Cattle.


The twenty-five million acres CON-
prislng the plains Of Eastern COLORADO
will become q great beef-fattening cen.
ter whenever the dry land farmers o
that section generally raise milo as on,
Of their chief crops.
One hundred pounds Of milo has
fattening value equal to ninety poundi
Of corn, and milo IL the surest grail
crop grown under dry land farming II
Eastern Colorado, yielding twice a.
much grain as corn.
For fattening cattle, when first pu,
on feed, milo may he cut with corr
binder, shocked until cured, and tn,
stocks aud heads fed together.
Usually after thirty days Of sucl
feeding the waste becomes too great
and 1t will pay to snap the heads from
the stalks and feed them In grain boxet
the same as ear corn.
For the final feeding after the steer
have become fairly fat, 1t will pay t.
grind the milo.
The heads may be ground without
threshing, the small stems to which
the seeds are attached forming a ground
roughage which. mixes with the meal,
or the heads may be .threshed aud then
ground, making clear meal.
Milo Is constipating feed and the
best results are always obtained b.
feeding some laxitive or succulent feec
with 1t. :
The best feed for this purpose II
alfalfa hay, carefully cured, to retail
most Of the leaves. Sorghum cut II
the bloom, stock beets and stock mel,
ons may also be fed for this purpose,
careful watch Of the cattle being made
to see that they get just the right
amount. :. y
Milo is like corn, rich In starch and
poor In protein, and during the last
half Of the fattening when 1t is fed,
cattle should have some alfalfa hay,
linseed, or cottonseed meal. = H. NJ.
