FEEDING Corn 10 horses.

If corn must be fed to the horses
grinding it will not pay unless the
horses have poor teeth, In which case
it might be advisable. Feeding the
ear or shelled corn would be the more
desirable method Of feeding.
Crushed corn and cob meal are not as
good because Of the cost Of crushing.
and the amount of food value secured
from tho cob is SO small that it does
not make up for the energy required
to digest so much crude fiber
A combination of corn. bran and a
little oilmeal makes a good summer
ration for horses. Feeding a 1000
pound horse about ten pounds of corn
and three pounds Of bran per day would
be equivalent to fourteen pounds Of
oats. although it contains little more
carbohydrates and less protein. thus
making little wider ration A small
amount Of oilmeal would Offset this.

TESTING COWS FOR
MILK PRODUCTION
Only Method Of Eliminating
Worthless Animals.

At the Nebraska experiment station
the different cows in the dairy herd
were tested. The result showed that
there is wide difference in the prod
uct Of the cows Of the same breed.
In the case mentioned 1t was found
that one cow gave 12959 pounds OF
milk during the period of lactadon,
and the milk tested 3.46 butter fat.
Another cow in the herd gave 1877
pounds Of milk during the period of
lactation which tested 2.82 butter fat
In figuring On the cost Of preduc-
Of all the food each COW consumed.
and the value of all the labor be
slowed In caring for and feeding the
animals it was found that the first
cow returned SALT for each dollars
worth Of feed she consumed. On the
other hand, the COW that gave 1,797
pounds of milk returned only So cents
for each dollars worth of feed she
consumed Now, it does not require
an expert In figuring to prove the
great value Of testing the cows In the
herd. This COW that returned only IS
cents for the dollars worth Of feed she
consumed is not alone in that kind Of
business. There are by far too many
cows kept that are not paying for their
food. Let dairymen give this matter
of testing more consideration and by
all means weigh the milk. keep track
Of the amount Of milk the cows give
per day, per week, per month and dur
ing the whole period Of iactation.

OLIVER CROMWELL.

It has heen more than $50 years
since Cromwell played his stormy part
in English history. yet his example
and influence are still potent in all

impulse toward democracy.
For Cromwell was the father of mod

age Of republics.

yet hts speech was ever inadequate to
voice his mighty vision Of the move

freedom beyond his own times.
Cromwell was one Of those rare char

think I have heard you complain OF

Helen Keller is blind and deaf. Be

Yet today she is well educated
woman. known in many lands, writer

by the best magazines. a lecturer who
Is heard by cultured audiences.
What are your obstacles compared
to hers?
You have all FIVE senses You can
read for yourself. write with your own
hand. speak without being taught by a
long difficult and iaborious process.
You have five senses where she has
but three. But the two which she
lacks are those most needed for educa-
ton and expression. Therefore you
possess more than five chances to her
three for winning success.
Yet she has won out. won in nota-

to win That is the secret Have you
the will to win?
Having the will. she also worked and
induced others to help her work. Are
you afraid to work?
There are no obstacles SO great but
what there may be will great enough
to overcome them.
1t Is simply question OF measuring
mp to your opportunities and to the
part you would play.
You say you can't write or speak.
Certainly you can write and speak il

You say you have no money. Lack
of money did not prevent the worlds

81 the plans there formulated.
All drama. fiction and poetry are but
history revealed through seeing eyes.
Not infrequently it is revealed In dis
torted form. II read Understandings
the real record is more beautiful than
these fancies drawn from it, for it is
nearer the truth and therefore has
deeper depths than even the novelist
Jr poet has seen.
History is romance, religion, politics,
poetry, heroism, tragedy and drama all
rolled into one.
Did you never read it and identify
yourself with its characters, thus liv-
ing over the old scenes? If not you
have failed to find the soul.
History is the gigantic drama of the
ages. with some unseen hand shifting
the scenes.
Did you never imagine the delightful
pastoral scenes and the simple folk
that lived when the world was young
the folk that talked of fairies and of
wonders, who saw God in the clouds
and the rising and setting suns. who
beard his voice in the thunders. who
believed the old tales. with their mira
Gle. and divinities?
DID you never picture yourself as a
knigh. or a lady fair Of ye olden time
Did you never gain thrill and high
er ideal from the battles for liberty
and the martyrdoms of the far days
when the world was young?
History reveals us to ourselves be

1t enlarges us because it gives MS a
glimpse into the lives Of large souled

heroes. the deliverers. the lfberators.

KNOW YOUR OWN SOUL.

Human nature is much the same
now that it was in the time OF Soc
rates. The motto Of the ancients.
Know myself" is as much needed in
our day as in theirs
Tennyson has expressed it as the
trinity of ''self knowledge. self rever-
ance. self control"
It Is the first duty OF every man and
woman to get acquainted with bis or
her own soul.
You are world In yourself, world
Of membranes. world Of expert
ences, a world Of wisdom, q world OF
forces.
why not tap these storehouses and
use them IN, Jour life and In your
work.
II you do not understand yourself
nobody else will understand you.
All educa tion. all activity. all express
sion, are but methods Of finding your
self.
You are not a creature OF heredity.
Of environment or of accident You
are OF divine lineage; yon are greater
than circumstances.
Kings have lacked the facilities and
comforts that are yours to command
You have knowledge which the great
est of the ancients lacked. You live
IN an age that offers every opportuni-
ty and incentive to success.
You know or may know something
Of all lands and all races. Of the Sc
crets OF natural forces, Of new ways
Of doing the work OF the world Why
not then. know that which Is closest
to you-yonr own being?
When you know yourself you will
know your work.
When you believe In yourself others
Will believe In you.
When you know your own powers
you can use them to some noble end.
do not mean that you should spend
your life In idle introspection. Knowl
edge must be translated into action.

Cease living only on the surface;

Awaken your soul. Awaken It by
