THE CHHLDREN'S
MATCHMAKING
Some Jolly and Appropriate Ways
That the Little Ones May Cele-
brate the Feast Of the Great and
Good St. Valentine.


W r you want to make the children
happy get up little party for
them on Valentines day. Then
those adults whose consciences
win not permit them to attend social
functions on their own account may
find their amusement in making the
little ones happy even though il Is
Lent.
Fancy dress parties always delight
the juniors. 1t is charming idea to
have the little guests come dressed to
represent birds or flowers. That never
falling resource. Grape paper, makes
extremely pretty costumes and, mount
ed on muslin. will stand great deal
more rough usage than one might I'M
agine.
II a hostess lives in a neighborhOod
where pussy willow can be found it
makes charming decoration for the
Valentine party. The children love 1t.
and even the adults are usually enthusi
astic over 1t. The pussy willow IS
easy to arrange. 1t looks best IN tall
vases which are Of the simplest shapes
and devoid Of decorations.
Towering bulbs or any spring flow
ers which can be obtained will add to
the festive appearance of the rooms in
which the party is held. Children are
fond of flowers, and ported plants in

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Alfalfa Best Forage For Colts.

A study Of forages for growing
horses was recently completed at the
Nebraska substation at North Platte.
The relative value OF alfalfa and non
legumiuous pasture and forage was to
be determined.
One leading conclusion arrived at Is
that while alfalfa pasture makes rapid
gains and puts colts In excellent condl-
ton, with firm flesh. the cost Is usually
100 great to warrant More econom-
teal but not so rapid gains were made
on native grass Colts that were fed
on cane forage the winter before re-
sponded rapidly to alfalfa pasture and
made good gains For winter feeding
alfalfa hay with grain produced better
gains than prairie or cane hay with
the same amount OF grain although
still at greater. cost. The alfalfa raised
colts were in heavier flesh all during
the three years Of the experiment and
1t was thought would have sold better,
A strong point in favor OF the alfalfa
fed animals is that when they were
put to work they stood up well and
held their flesh.

shelterinu Sheep.

The question of shelter for sheep Is
one not hard to settle. The sheep Is
more warmly protected by nature than
any other domestic animal, unless 1t be
the hen. The important points to be
considered in sheen shelter are dry
ness, both overhead and underfoot
freedom from drafts, plenty Of room
and ventilation. In a word, give the
sheep plenty OF care, plenty Of feed
ana room to eat it, fresh air every hour
of the day, pure fresh water and lots
OF 1t and keep them dry always. No
stock with equal attention will pay
better.
