There Is no hardship ahead OF US In
life that may not be made easier by
our doing the hard thing Of today
with unflinching faithfulness. And
every hardship or temptation that lies
ahead will be the harder to meet by
any failure Of ours in today's test.
This days testing and trial are sure
TO be severe 1t may even seem un-
fairly so. II may be the hardest we
have ever yet known. 1t Is sure to
seem dull, and unatTactive, and ut
terry lacking in those elements OF hero
ism that seem to mark the achieve
ments of the worlds great victors.
But that is what makes II hard to the
point of being worth while. And here
is another reason for taking up its
challenge valiantly; For this com,
mandment which | command thee this
day, 1t is not too hard for thee, neither

that there is something close at hand
that is great enough to test US but not
great enough TO break us when our
trust is firmly fixed In God.

HEALTHY QUARTERS FOR PIGS
Animals Affected With rheumatism
Generally Become Unthrifty-keep
Houses Thoroughly Dry.

Rheumatism is commonly caused by
allowing hogs to sleep in damp, filthy
and improperly ventilated quarters.
The system of ventilation should be
such that there will be no direct cur
ren's of air striking the animals. The
sun should have free access to the
houses at all times. This will keep
the sleeping quarters in a dry. SAM.
tary condition.
When affected with rheumatism,
the animals generally becomes unthrif-
ty, and fail to make proper use of
their feed, the appetite becomes dull
which gives rise to the rough, scraggy
coat. Prevention should be the first
aim of the owner, and to accomplish
this, the yards, pastures and houses
should be made dry and clean. Damp
bedding and cold floors should be
avoided. If the hog house has a ce-
ment floor, false wooden floors should
be provided, especially in the sleeping
apartment of the building.
Other treatment is of little avail II
comfortable sanitary quarters are not
provided.

w. 1. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro.
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tons. The method OF the present ma.
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to
corporation doing a large and legiti-
mate business. such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
| favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts. in the
Boston Herald
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big. perhaps
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law 1t is
my opinion there should be depart
msnt at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business.
The law should be made so clear.
plain and definite that it could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified By a public &C.
countant. There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tlonal government. They should have
the right to enter the offices and ex
anime the records of all the direc.
torates Of these companies.

EXCELLENT FOOD FOR STOCK
Carrots, Turr!ps, 5eess, Manee's and
Potatoes Are Easily Digested and
Keep Animals Healthy.


Better plant that extra patch next
year in vegetables for your live
stock. Beets. potatoes, carrots, tur-
nips, and mangels are good food for
animals. They are easily digested and
keep the animal in good health.
Roots should be prepared properly
before being fed They should be
shredded or sliced and mixed with
chaffed hay. They also may be cook
ed or steamed, which makes mash
of them.
Beets are fed quite extensively in
sections where sugar beets are grown
and show good results. A test with
ten cows made in France shows that
it is more profitable to feed the re-
sidue or pulp from the sugar factory
to COWS than the whole beet. Man
gels are very good feed for dairy
cows and sheep. From 40 to 60
pounds may be fed to dairy cows
daily Fattening cattle may have 100
pounds and pigs four to twenty
pounds. daily, in proportion to their
size.
Carrots may be fed to horses and
cattle. They will prevent CHAMBERS
and digestive troubles Potatoes and
turnips are also good for stock and
may be fed In much the same way as
beets. A farmer who has fed roots
to his stock for many years says that
by feeding two-thirds roots and one
third grain he receives good results.
Roots may be kept for winter use by
storing in piles of twenty bushels
each and covering with straw and
earth
