morning and evening and each lot

Summary of Results.
1. Hogs made more gain following
3-year-old steers than when following
yearling steers.
2. The younger the steers the few.

gain.
8. The loss in shipping 9 head
was greater when the cattle were fed
sheaf oats en- route than when they
were fed prairie hay.
4. The largest gain for feed CON
sumed was made during the first thir-
ty days when the steers were being
put on full feed.
5. A longer feeding period was re-
quired to get yearling steers In a
good marketable condition than was
required for the 2-year-old or the g.
.year-old steers.
6. More grain was required for a
pound of gain during cold than mod
crate weather, indicating that a large
per cent of the feed was required for
maintaining body heat.

MAKE AN INTERESTING TEST
The Experiment Of r .ening Steers
Of Different Ages at the South
Dakota State College.
BY PROF. JAMES W. WILSON,

The object Of this experiment was
to ascertain the gain to be MADE on
steers of the same quality, nde the
same conditions, with the same KIND
OF 4 grain ration but of different ages.
II was also desired to determine the
difference in the pr,iuction OF po-s
for feed consumed with shoats FOL
lowing the different aged steers.
The experiment covered two years
feeding of one hundred and twenty
DAYS each. The first trial began De
cember II, and the second March 2,
thus giving results both for the old
winter months, and for the spring n
early summer.
The cattle for each trial were Sc
lected il the open arkets and m
sisted OF six yearlings, six 2-year-old
md six 3~-year-old steers, as equal In
luality, condition and weight as 1t
was possible to get them. b lots
for the 1909 experiment was secured
In the Sioux City market and were
home-bred cattle. Those for the 1910
experiment. were selected In the Oma-
ha market and were branded, range
,red cattle, not so quiet as those in
he 1909 test, and yer a few pounds
lighter per head.
In each case the steers were dipped
,efore shipping to the experiment
tation. They we're fed a few days on
, light ration to become accustomed
% their grains; this method was
ound to be valuable, especially with
he ~range-bred lots. They were found
TO be weighed individually on three
uccessive days and the average
weight taken as the initial weight of
the experiments. They were also
weighed individually at certain inter
rails thereafter to note the gain or
loss.
At the close Of the tests they were
hipped to the Chicago market and
sold on their merits. These steers
we're not fancy in quality, but the av-
arage of the general run OF cattle in
the markets. Either OF the lots did
not top the market In Chicago when
veil finished. The length of the feed
ing period for these steers probably
was a triie longer than IL usual, but
earlier marketing would have placed
them In the warmed up" class of
sattle. This was especially true of
the yearlings.

gratitude by our service. A man
once helped a poor woman who was

press her gratitude, she brought him
a basket of shells that her son, now
dead, had brought from the sea-
shore. She priced all those shells
very highly, but they family ex-
pressed her gratitude. We need to
ask for a deeper and wider apprecia-

pray for help to tell the good to all

THANKSGIVING AND THANKS
LIVING.

Thanksgiving ought to be habit
1t ought to be annual, not in the
sense of occurring once in November,
but annual in extending the whole
year through. Paul says. "In every
thing give thanks; for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus concern
ing YOU" And Paul gave expression
to this exhortation. in the midst Of
lessons concerning affection. We
make mistake if we are thankful
for prosperity only. The larger
Christian faith is to be thankful for
adversely as we'll. Paul teaches us
in one place, to ''be careful for
nothing; to be prayerful for every
thing; to be thankful for anything"

to explain. As he always suffered

for joy at the success OF his little

Gordon" from her accustomed seat at
the window, where she sat and read
/ her Bible, while knitting mittens for
the boys who were so good to Joe.
They said:
Joe, we have brought you and
Grandma Gordon your Thanksgiving
dinner"
Before the two could recover from
their surprise and express their
thanks the boys started for the door.
"Oh, boys, don't CO." said Joe;
but they all disappeared, and pres
emily returned, carrying a wheeled
reclining chair, saying:
Joe, this is for you"
Joe was speeches.; but his grand
mother exclaimed:
Thank the Lord for this, Joe. 1t
is just what I have wished for ever
since you were able to sit up
Joe broke down when he tried to
thank the boys, and, burying his
face in the pillow, cried for JOY. The
boys had not expected such recep-
ton of their gift, and some looked
out of the windows to conceal their
emotion.
Dan Comstock, having sufficient
self-control to talk, began explaining
how the chair worked, showing Joe
how to touch the springs that would
make it into bed, If he wished, and
told him, 'The boys earned it all
themselves" and they soon recovered
their composure, and one said that,
as soon as he was strong enough,
they would wheel him across the
street to church and Bible class. An
other said that every pleasant day
some of them would roll him out on
the street. Dick Trowbridge told
him:
I'm the spring, you can sit in
your chair on the playground at
school and watch all our games"
YES" said Ned Morgan; you can
act as umpire for baseball and scorer
for tennis" Tom Porter interrupted
them by calling out:
Hurry up, boys, or We shall be
too late for the procession, and we all
want to see Joe at the window and
give him three cheers just before
We cross over to the church,
They tenderly lifted him into the
new chair, and wheeled him over to
the front window, Joe exclaiming:
ooh, how comfortable! Oh, boys,
it is just splendid"
The easy springs and soft cushions
were delightful to poor Joe's suffer-
ing body, and as he laid back, with
such happy light in his big brown
eyes. his pale cheek resting against
the crimson upholstering, his proud
grandmother said:
"It is real becoming to you, Joe,
and I am very glad you have it."
Joe said: Boys, I can't thank
you as I want to--words sound SO
empty; but I haven't been so happy
since I was hurt, and I never had
such glorious Thanksgiving."-
