EXCELLENT FEEDS
TO FATTEN LAMBS
Use Of Alfalfa for Rougha2e
StrnpIifies Question Con-
sidera bIy-Peas are
Recommended.

(By ]. r. M'NULTY, Colorado Agricul-
tural College,
The great question which the sue
cessful lamb feeder is now trying to
solve Is that Of the most economical
concentrate to be used in fattening his
lambs
The fact that most feeders are using
alfalfa for. a roughage simplifies the
above problem considerably. Alfalfa
supplies the protein, and when fed
with fattening concentrate, as corn
or barley, reduces the amount of feed
required for pound gain to the mini
mum. Experiments prove that corn
is just trifle better, pound for pound,
than barley when both are fed in con-
nection with one of the legume hays,
as clover or alfalfa. There IS little
data on the economy of feeding corn
alone with upland or timothy hay. or
with corn stover. This follows from
the fact that such ration would lack
considerably in protein. Doubtless
barley would somewhat excel corn,
pound for pound, when fed with rough
o6c5 idChiu6 pIOLSlu, DIS LILO OuGS ldSL
named. Whole barley may be fed
very successfully to fattening sheep
The fact that cotton seed meal can
be purchased for price comparing
favorably with that Of corn in Colora-
do has suggested the feeding of this
concentrate with alfalfa hay for fat
tening lambs. In this combination,
however, we have two feeds high in
protein and consequently an unbal-
anced ration. Oil meal Is fed quite
extensively with timothy hay and
roots, in which combination it gives
very good results. On the other hand,
very few records of sheep fattened on
cottonseed meal and alfalfa are avail
able, for, as rule, protein rich feeds
(alfalfa and oil meaD are the most
expensive nutrients of a ration and
are not usually combined. 1t Is very
probable, however, that some cotton
seed meal can be fed when alfalfa Is
fed, II We use mixed ration of corn
and cottonseed meal. The best pro-
portion would perhaps be one-third
cottonseed meal and two-thirds corn,
either shelled or cracked. This COM
bination should give good results and

Patrolman's Brave Act.

A New York patrolman of the East
126th street station, sent thrills up
and down the spines of several hun
dred persons in Third avenue the 9TH
er afternoon when he leaped for the
head of a runaway horse, missed the
bride. fell sprawling, and then picked
himself up in time to get grab at
the end of the flying wagon. Such
was the speed at which the outfit was
moving that the policeman, to the ad-
miration Of onlookers, was hoisted in
to the wagon. He found 1t impossi-
BILE to stop the horse, but calmly sat
in the drivers seat and waited until
the animal was halted by string of
street cars at 138th street. The horse
had run more than three miles.

WRATH CAME IN VERY HANDY
So Mad After Spat With Sweetheart
That He Whipped
Bandit.

Sam Jones was mad clear through.
He had just had a quarrel with his
sweetheart. and although he had con-
cealed his anger until he left her
home he was now boiling over with
rage. AS usual, Sam had got the
worst Of the little spat, for in spite of
his feet 2 and his great strength
his dimfnutive lady love had wound
him around her finger like SO much
ribbon.
AS Sam affghted from the elevated
train at his home station his cheeks
were still flushed with helpless anger
and he was just spelling" for a fight
or almost any kind of a chance to
even up matters on some one. His
wish was destined to be granted
sooner than he knew, for when he
descended the elevated steps to the
street figure blocked his path, a re-
yolver was held a few inches below
his nose, and gruff voice command
ed, Come on! Shell out, Jack!"
Without a seconds hesitation Sam
smashed the would-be robber full in
IHe race Win ulS DrdWny nSt and sent
him Keeling several PAGES backward
and stunned him so that he dropped
his weapon. Both Sam and the thief
were SO surprised that they merely
stared at each other for a few sec
onds, then the latter remembered that
he possessed good pair of legs and
started to run at express speed.
Here's good one," Sam laughed
grtmly as he set out in hot pursuit
of his assailant. This fellow intend
ed to hold me up and now I'm going
to hold him up just to balance things
trif1e." Sam was soon forced to
give up the chase, however, for he
was burdened with a heavy ulster.
while the holdup man wore q light
sweater.
Gee" chuckled Sam, eff I hadn't
been as hot under the collar as was,
as result of that little fuss with
Alice, I'll bet I'd have shelled out like
little lamb when he presented the
invitation. I'll go up there tomorrow
night with a big box of chocolates
and square things up"

What should be q strong inducement
to every owner Of a farm with cows
to make and sell butter is the fact
that this form of dairying makes it
possible not only to maintain the soil
fertility, but to constantly add to 1t.
While the solids in the milk con-
tain the most essential elements Of
fertility, the butter fat contains no
element of fertility at all. Hence, the
selling of milk in large quantities in
evitably reduces the productiveness
of the farm, unless a large proportion
of the feed for the cows is bought off
the farms, instead Of being grown on it.
On the other hand, butter contains
practically nothing that constitutes
an element Of fertility in the soil, says
Q writer in Farm Progress. For this
reason, II one has a poor farm, and
wants to adopt line Of farming that
will soonest and most economically
make it productive, the best plan will
be to keep cows, and sell the cream
or butter. And the more feed one
buys, and the less he takes off his
own place, except clover, the sooner
the soil may be made rich.
Having had considerable experience
with clover, cowpeas, Canada peas
and other legumes, have concluded
that for soil Improvement the red
clover or alsike, will be found the
best thing for the purpose. ] would
only use alsike in case the land
to be improved was rather moist, as
on that sort Of soil 1t will usually
make a better growth than common
red or any other, except white clover,
and that does not make a sufficiently
| bulky growth to serve the purpose
| best
In some experience Of my own,
have found that sowing orchard grass
and clover together makes a most ex-
cellent pasture; and, IL one keeps the
stock off, 1t Is possible to get .
growth that will make a fine mixture
for hay; but when clover is cut at the
right time and properly cured, there
is no more nutritious forage that can
be grown.

USE OF GYPSUM
OR LAND PLASTER
Practice Nearly Always Increases
Yield OF C1overs and
PeaS-How to
Apply it.

Plaster nearly always increases the
growth of the clovers and peas. Mixed
with an equal quantity of wood ash,
it is largely used by gardeners and
truckers to stimulate the growth of
early potatoes, corn, beans and cab
bage.
Plaster is a sulphate of lime, and
both the sulphuric acid and the lime
are active principals in plant growth.
The time to sow plaster on clover and
oats and peas is when the plants are
making their first leaves Sow at the
rate Of two bushels to the acre.
On land that has been recently
lined the application of plaster has
little effect. The only way to find out
the value of plaster is to measure off
an acre of clover or an acre of grass
and clover pasture and SOW, say, two
bushels to the acre, leaving the adj
Joining acre upholstered. The growth
of the plastered clover will prove it's
value in few weeks after the plaster
has been sown. When plaster can be
had for SO per ton it will pay to SOW
1t at the rate of two bushels to the
acre on dry upland meadows and clo-
yer fields, on pastures, oats and peas
and on all the bean family. 1t Is also
valuable for sowing on clover stubble
after the first crop has been cut for
hay. The dressing of plaster at this
time will greatly encourage the second
growth clover. On most every farm
there are variety of soils, and fer
tilizer that will prove of value for one
kind Of soil and crop will prove of lit
tie value used on an adjoining field,
but having an entirely different char
| acter of soil. Test each field and
keep record of these tests. as they
will prove valuable.

A Profitable Bunch Of Youngsters.

AS I have found that even work
stock can be kept In good condition
on well-cured hay, if allowed to eat a
full ration at each meal, have about
concluded that on the great majority
of farms a large portion of the grain
fed to work stock may be eliminated
If plenty Of good, bright clover hay Is
fed to all stock, and sufficient time
allowed for the horses to eat 1t. This
may seem to be a sort of heresy to
the vast number of men all through
the big corn states, who feed little
grain, except corn, and some of them
no roughage part of the year except
corn fodder. But I know whereof /
speak; some Of the best teams that
have ever seen are never fed anything
except clover hay, unless by chance
that runs low, and it is necessary to
feed timothy hay; and, when that is
done, q feed Of corn Is given along
with 1t.
1t always seems to me very remark
able that so few men use clover as the
principal feed for their stock, when
there is such inducement to do so. I
have never known of a case where
any one was not pleased with the re-
suits in feeding clover hay to work
horses, If he had good, bright hay
and gave a reasonable grain ration
in the shape of corn with it.
Where the chief grain fed is oats.
the clover is not suita BILE, because the
percentage Of starchy matter or its
equivalent would not be properly
proportioned to the proteids. AS l
know men who have for years not fed
an ounce of grain to horses doing
farm work daily, and they have kept
| In fine condition, and at steady work
On nothing but nice, clean, bright,
| well-cured clover hay, 1t seems to me
| that great many men are wasting
| money in their method of feeding.
and are failing to improve their soil
because they do not SOW the clover.
Probably the latter is the more i'm
portant point to be considered. Com
mon sense and clover are mighty
good factors in successful farming.

PLAGUE SPREAD BY CAMEL
Carcass Of Dead Beast Left Exposed
Caused Slight Outbreak In
Russia.

The Paris Medical publishes some
observations which throw an impor-
tant light on the cases of plague which
occurred in Russia some time ago. As
far back as 1907 DR.. Klodnitzlhy no.
ticed in the Cazarel Island, in the
Caspian Sea, a, slight outbreak of
plague. Three women were attacked,
inquiry, that they had all three been
engaged in handling the carcass of a
camel which had died from some I'M
known cause. Later, in April, 1911,
plague appeared in little place In
the district of Kamysch-Samara. Six
persons were attacked with plague,
and all had eaten of a camel that had
died.
At the end of September, in the
same year, another camel in the dis
trict died, and then an autopsy was
made. There were no clear indica-
lions of any injuries to account for
death, but in the viscera the doctor
found a bacillus Identical with that Of
Yersin, the cultures Of which repro
duced plague in animals which were
inoculated. Toward the end of the
same month other human beings were
attacked, and the outbreak conceded
with the death of camel, and tests
with the blood produced a typical
plague bacillus. DR.. Klodnitz1hy has
no doubt that the cases of plague in
the human beings owed their origin
to eating the flesh of plague-stricken
camels, and he suggests that the cam

camels suffering from the disease.

Soudht to Swallow VIII.

A curious scene occurred recently
In a lawyers Office at Castanet, near
Toulouse, France. The lawyer was
reading the will of a landowner who
recently died, in the presence Of the
relatives of the deceased. The de-
ceased left practically his whole es-
tate to his widow, and this fact so In
furfated a cousin that he suddenly
jumped up, snatched the will from the
lawyers hands, tore 1t into fragments
and, examining them into his mouth,
seized by the throat and finally forced
to disgorge the bits Of paper, which
were afterwards gummed together.

tiles" (Acts xiii, 40 The entire world
constituted the field for the sowing
of the good seed" which is strictly
defined, "the Gospel Of the Kingdom"
Jesus and the Apostles sowed this
good seed" and all His true followers
since have been authorized to continue
the work In His name. But the Ad-
versary, Satan, as pointed out here In
the parable, brought in a different kind
of seed" and sowed this over the
wheat field" The result Is that today
the 'tares" are so plentiful that they
think they are the wheat" and the
world in general so considers them.
The wheat" class are considered "a
peculiar people" or their good fruits
the Apostle mentions meekness and
humility, and these tend to bow their
heads, while the "tares" stand proudly
up in the display Of their form Of
goodness.
The Lord allowed the matter to go
on, fully assured that He would have
in the end the crop which He desired,
and very content to allow a great les
son to be taught by the presence of
the ''tares" and the ultimate treatment
accorded the wheat"
The Lord could have hindered the
Adversary from bringing In the false
doctrines, or He could have separated
centuries ago between the wheat and
tare classes, but this was not according
to His intention. He purposed to "let
both grow together until the Harvest"
In the Common Version the words,
''The Harvest is the end of the world"
have been seriously misunderstood. It
does not mean the end Of time, nor the
end Of the earth-its destruction-nor
the end of Divine favor. 1t merely
means the end OF the present Age.
"In the Time of tho Harvest"
This expression signifies that the
Harvest Of this Age will not be an in
Simultaneous work, but a gradual one,
requiring time. There is good reason
for believing that the Harvest of this
Age is period Of forty years, as the
Harvest of the Jewish Age was Of that
length. In this time of the Harvest
two things will be accomplished: o.
The ''tares" will be gathered into bun
dies" ready for the "burning"-de-
struction. (2) The wheat" at the
same time, will be gathered into the
"garner"-the heavenly Kingdom.
They shall gather out Of His King
dom all things which offend, and them
which do iniQuity; there shall be
wailing and crashing of teeth" There
will be two classes amongst the
"tares"; one class, "doers of tniQuity"
Qnequity, unrighteousness), the other
class, those that have caused others to
stumble. Doubtless this will include
many teachers and preachers, aud
many doors OF wonderful works.
But we must not forget that we are
considering a parable, and that the
'tares" are symbolical, and likewise
the furnace" and the fire" The In
