ALFALFA in THE HOG RATION
Nothing of More Importance Than
Feeding at Least Cost-ExcelIent
for All Live Stock.

While the hog is debt payer, it is
necessary for the breeder, farmer or
feeder to manage so as to make the
greatest amount of money at the least
cost in the quickest time, says the
American Swineherd. To do this there
is nothing of more Importance than
feeding alfalfa. The Illinois Farmers
institute states that alfalfa is the most
important single product of the soil,
product that has been neglected to
the detriment of every community.
Alfalfa as a storage plant for general
use mas no equal. 1t is easily grown,
it is hardy under trying circumstances,
and while it is an excellent food for
all kinds of stock, and especially the
hog, it at the same time through natur-
al process improves the soil by draw
ing from the atmosphere nitrogen.
Alfalfa is gold mine which can be
worked most successfully by the use of
swine feeding.

EATING OF MUTTON.
Sheep Growers Tell People How to
Get Low Prices.

Miles City.-The sheep growers of
the great West are preparing to launch
off a campaign of education that will
result in solving, at least in a meas
ure, the high cost of living.
The medical fraternity has long rec
ognized the health-giving and health
preserving properties of mutton, but
the people for some reason fail to
make it a part of the daily diet
No dish is more savory than EN-.
glish" boiled mutton, and there are
hotelries in the United States that
have become famous for this tooth.
some edible, but these houses are
few in number. s..
The campaign to be undertaken by
the sheep growers has been suggested
by the vast difference in prices for
beef and mutton.
Choice beef cuts are quoted by the
packers at from 25 cents to q cents
per pound, and the cheapest class of
pork that goes into sausage is held at
8 cents to 8 cents, while prime, round
dressed lambs are selling at IL cents
and liz cents and handy dressed
sheep at s cents and cents.
It is probable that state agricultural
colleges will be asked to assist in
teaching the country how to prepare
mutton, and it is hoped that the great
sheep raising industry will receive
the attention which it's Importance de-
serves

RINGING HOGS is MADE EASY
Device Shown in Illustration and De-

Quite Advantageous.

This is the device I use in ringing
or shouting hogs, and would not do
without it. With boys help one man
can ring as many hogs with this de-
vice as two men without it, and do it
much easier. Make a strong hog
crate and in one end nail a board
shaped like A in the drawing. Bore
four holes in crosspieces and D to
adjust the yoke to the size of hogs,

Extension Planned.

In working out the contemplated
extension of the 500, the line which
now terminates at Plentywood, will be
extended west between the Canadian
border and the Great Northern, and
the line that ends at Plaza, n d.,
will be run west into Montana through
Dawson county to point south of
Jordan. From there it will take a
southwesterly course, striking Yellow
stone county in the Bull mountain
district. At this point it will branch
one line passing through central
Montana, the other through this city.

"GOOD STUFF"
A Confirmed Coffee Drinker Takes to
Postum.

A housewife was recently surprised
when cook served Postum instead Of
coffee. She says:

drinking coffee, which l did.
Il drank hot water while taking the
doctors medicine, with some improve

the same old trouble as before.
"A new servant girl told me about
Postum-said her folks used it and
liked 1t in place of coffee. We got q
package but l told her did not be-

was a great coffee drinker.
ITO my surprise he called for q
third cup, said it was good STUFF and
wanted to know what 1t was. We
have used Postum ever since and both
feel better than we have in years
"My husband used to have bad
spells with his stomach and would be
SICK three or four days, during winch
time he could not eat or drink any
thing. But since he gave up coffee
and took to Postum, he has had no
more trouble, and we now fully be-

Entrances to lanes, sheds, barn
buildings and all other places where
two or more entrances stand side by
side, may be conveniently arranged
with little trouble. AS shown in the

hand the gates are pushed to the
right.
The entrance to each of the side
pens is only five feet, the rest of the
entrance being planked up.
This arrangement is particularly
convenient for buildings SO arranged
that the center or driveway is TO be
open, and the sheds ON each side are
wanted with doorways to admit stock,
etc.
In the latter case the doors may be-
made solid, SO as to exclude rain,
snow, and cold winds.
Fig. 1, A, are pieces set in between
the battens of the gates and extending
six inches. These extensions, one be-
ing on each gate, enter the open space
on the opposite gate, thus holding the
gates firm in place.

proper nourishment to the animals
and the digestive and assimilative Or
gans will be overtaxed and impaired
In their efforts to convert this coarse
feed into substance that will build up
the tissues Of the body.
Aside from these two detrimehts we
must consider that unground feed
causes a waste by passing whole and
practically unchanged through the
animal; or, if the stock do eat an
amount large enough from which suf-
ficient nourishment can be extracted,
it means about twice as much must
be fed to be converted into bone and
muscular tissue.
The failure of the stock to masti-
cate unground grain will also cause
lack of digestive secretions or juices
SO essential to this process; then, in
order to supply this deficiency, the
animals have a craving for water and
a large quantity is thus consumed
much more than is necessary-and
yet, this enormous amount of water
has not the desired effect in promot-
ing digestion as do the natural juices
that should have been brought down
by thorough mastication.
On the other hand. where the grain
is ground before feeding, it is fine and
dry adhering to the animals mouth
when it takes a bite, till it has to chew
before it can swallow. This avoids
the drawback above mentioned, and
by the grain being we'll crushed it in
sures thorough digestion; later, it's
pulverized condition renders it i'm
mediately available for the assimila-
tive organs to convert into nourish-
ment--bone and muscle-without over
taxing any of the organs of these two
systems and at the same time it. will
render less of this ground feed neces-
sary to keep the animal in prime
shape.

MAKING HER HAPPY

angrily.

Then, Ted, there is nothing more
for me to do but to give you back
this and Helen drew off the ring he
had placed on her finger with such
professions of devoted love that it
made her heart ache to remember
them.
Helen, DON'T" he whispered, but
she did not finch.
Can you bear to break it OFF," he
asked softly, all the anger dying out
Of his boyish face.
Eyes, can when there is a secret
between us. If you have one now,
you'd have dozen after we were

Taxing, and the tears lay near the sur.
face.
'Helen, dearest, just wait. Give me
until tonight, and then / promise to
tell you everything. You owe me that
much notice." and he smiled little
uncertainty. "You know when a man
loses his job he is given little bit of
notice.
But this is not job" Helen said;
but she slipped the ring back on her
finger.

Nonsense. But honest, Ted, if you
can tell me tonight, why not now?"
and her eyes tempted him to go
against what he believed to be right,
but he shook off the influence, and re-
turned gravely:
Remember, Nell, that picture we
saw last winter at the art exhibit"
She did not need to be told which
one, for there had been only that
which had fingered in their memory.
"You know, the one where the girl
is trying to get her sweetheart to wear

be taken for member of the other
side, and not be killed."
"Of course"
"ARl you know what was under it?
Something about loving her less if
he did not love honor more?"
Helen nodded.
We'll, that's my case, girlie-hon-
est. ! can't tell you because I prom
ised not to, and I can't go back on my
honor, for if I did I'd not be worthy
of you. See?" And there was strength
of purpose in his dark eyes that ap-
pealed to her and made her eyes dim,
although, woman like, she asked soft
ly:
Would you rather give me up than
go back on your promise?"
Ted swallowed hard. IF you'd want
me to, Nell, I don't believe 1 could
care for you as much as / do. You
see, I'd feel that something was wrong
Now kiss me, dear. and just wait un-
til tonight, and I'll prove to you that
I'm just what I've said l am, not so

waiting for permission, he drew her
into his arms, kissed her not once but
several times, then ran away, leaving
her gasping, but happier than she had
been for several days.
The crux Of the trouble had been
reached the night before, when there
had been a Canoe to which all of her
set had been invited. 1t was the last
she expected to attend before their
marriage, and so Helen had looked for
ward to it eagerly. Ted was to come
for her at nine, and she had dressed
very carefully, pinning on the blush
roses he had sent her, after kissing
them with giTlish tenderness. How
ever, although she was all ready a
little before nine, Ted did not come.
Nine grew to ten. then eleven, and
finally twelve, and still she waited
alone and in vain, and worse than all,
she received no message of eXplana-
ton. Finally, frantic with imagining
all kinds of accidents, she had thrown
herself, all dressed, on her bed and
sobbed herself to sleep. In the morn
ing he had telephoned her, asking her
to meet him at the park entrance, and
when she arrived at the appointed
spot she found him haggard, sleepless

EDUCATION, THE CONsERvATOR
 OF LABOR.
(By James Edward Dargan. l,

When we speak of education in tts broadest sense we mean the assimila. tlon of the acquired knowledge of past generations, adapting this Knowledge to the prevailing conditions and .rnak- Ing such Improvements and additions as we may discover or experience in our life time.
 An education is valued not. only for It's training of the intellectual powers as means of acquiring culture, but tor the practical use to which those intellectual powers may be put.
 Let us see how these processes of assimilation and addition have, been practically applied in the art of stone cutting. In the Paleolithic. Age the crudest method of stone-cutting was found. The people used the crudest implements, Compare the stone-cut- ting of that time to that of today. You will find that succession of gen. erations have added to the store of Knowledge. Machines have been in. vented, instruments for coarse cutting and others for finer cutting 4re used People have developed quicker and better methods for doing this work.
 How have they been able to devel- ,Ope methods that are so great an im- provement upon former ones? Again
