POINTER HERE FOR FARMER
One Good Thing, al Least, That He
May Place to the Credit Of
the Auto

The farmer may not venerate the
automobile, but he must admit that,
although the automobile teaches 9TH
ers extravaganza, it has taught him a
very valuable lesson in economy.
Everybody knows how plant lice, or
aphis, overrun and destroy plants and
how the sole protection against plant
lice has heretofore been patent pow
ders more or less costly.
But of late years farmers have no
ticed that, while all the plants in field
or garden were covered with aphis,
all the roadside growths, white with
dust from flying automobiles, had not
a single aphis on them.
Hence an experiment. Turnips, peas
and cabbages were coated with ord
nary dust instead CO costly powder
Result. disappearance of all insect par
asites.
The automobile, in q word, has
taught the farmer that dust, which
costs nothing, will protect his plants
from plant lice and other pests just as
completely as the most expensive
powder can,

GREATEST LESSON OF LIFE
The One Thing Above All That a
Woman Should Be Quick to Learn
and Remember.

The woman who makes good must
be blessed with strength and health,
and an ambition to learn and take ad-
vantage of every opportunity that
comes her way. She must work with
all her heart and play with all her
heart; above all things avoiding in
difference.
Hers is the temperament that rec.
ognlzes that encouragement is all
nice and pretty, but II one is going to
do the thing that counts one doesn't
need It; that refuses to be dismayed
by repeated failures and that has q
certain faith that what has been done
by many may be done by another
that nobody goes through life with
out disappointments. heartaches and
the breaking OF pet Illusions; thai
there Is nothing more common thar
trouble. but that 1t is the wise one:
Of earth that keep 1t in the back
ground. That's the great lesson Of
life,-Exchange.

VALUE OF COTTON SEED MEAL
Probably Cheapest Concentrate Feed
Offered on Market, When Nutrl.
ment Is Considered.

CBy W. A.. LINKLATER, Oklahoma Sta
tion.)
Cottonseed meal Is probably the
cheapest concentrate feed offered on
the market today, when we consider
the amount of nutriment 1t contains.
1t is not considered as safe for gen.
eral feeding as bran and such other
feeds. There has no doubt been un-
satisfactory results in some cases
from feeding cattle heavily on cotton
seed meal. 1t is also true that there
are plenty of cases on record where
hogs have died from feeding on cot
tonseed meal. Judiciously fed, how
ever, cottonseed meal Is an econo-
mical and sufficiently safe feed. In
the case of young pigs and breeding
hogs I would not recommend that
more than o~ne-eighth Of the ration
consist of cottonseed meal. The 9TH
er seven-eighths may consist Of corn.
Kafir, or milo chop. shorts, sill run or
such other feeds. For f~attening hogs
more cottonseed can be safely and
satisfactorily fed than one-eighth Of
the grain ration. know Of a number
Of cases where men make a practice
of feeding fattening hogs a ration con-
sisting of one-third cottonseed meal
for a period Of sixty days and report
satisfactory results. l believe in each
case the feed is soaked from twelve to
twenty-four hours before feeding.
Continued feeding of a ration consist
ing Of one-third to one-fourth cotton
seed meal would no doubt kill many
hogs, but small pigs and breeding
hogs may be fed a mixture Of one
eighth cottonseed meal almost in
definitely and f~attening hogs may be
safely fed as rich a mixture as one
to four of cotton seed meal for a pc.
Rod of sixty days without bad results.
There is practically no difference In
the feeding value of cottonseed meal
and cottonseed cake. The cottonseed
cake must be broken up In small
pieces to be fed to most classes Of
stock and for this reason is scarcely
as convenient as cottonseed meal.

In a state Of nature all animals

Fattening hogs intended for the
shambles should Of course be closely
confined and deprived Of excessive
exercise. All the exercise which they
should be given should be more acct
dental than intentional. When fat Is
the object exercise should be largely
eliminated.
With breeding hogs the case is al
together different. From pighood to

rigorous exercise. 1t is important to

EXERCISE is NEEDED
Hogs Degenerate Under Condi-
tons of Artificial Luxury.
All Young Pigs and Immature Mem
bers of the Herd Should Be Com
PEELED to Do Much Walking
and Climbing for Living.

Lack Of exercise Is n Of the fac
tors In the physical deterioration OF
the breed Of hogs.
Not one breeder In a dozen allows
o compels his breeding hogs to take
adequate exercise.
Hogs, like men, gradually degen-
crate under conditions of artificial
luxury. Any animal that can live
without work will ultimately become
extinct. This applies to every form
of life. Labor Is the price which life
must pay for itself.
Exercise is absolutely essential to
the maintenance Of health, vigor and
fecundity in hogs.
Breeding hogs kept in small pas
lures or pens, and literally fed, lose
the power to transmit the highest
virility and vital integrity to their on
spring.
It is a serious mistake to confine
breeding hogs where the necessity for
regular exercise does not exist. Sows
nearing parturition should OF course
be confined, but all young things and
other immature members of the herd

Story Of n hlhle.

A case that had to do with the theft
Of a Bible was before the grand jury
ONE time ago and after 1t had been
disposed Of. George W. Seibert, fore
man of the jury, related a story in
which a Bible figured prominently. Mr..
Seibert said that his mother had Civ
en- him an o~ld-fashioned family Bible
when he married. About two years
after his marriage Mr.. Seibert needed
money, he said, and had almost de-
cided to dispose Of the Bible, When
such thoughts were occupying his
mind. Mr.. Seibert picked up the Bible
day and began turning over the
leaves of the book. He had passed
over several pages when his eyes fell
on two $50 bills. His mother had
placed them in the Bible when she
had presented the book to him. MIR
Seibert still has the Bible.-lndianap
