hoped that the women's campaign would
extend beyond the present imagination of
the people.

When The Boy Is A Problem.

The high school period including
the years from fourteen to eighteen-is
the most critical period in the life Of
the boy. President G. Stanley Hall of
Clark College calls it the age of
temporary insanity. others style it the
fool period, the era of the birth of the
will. At this time says teacher, an
active fermentation occurs that may
produce either wine or vinegar" 1t is
a time of restlessness, of egotism, of
unbelief; in short, of vagabondage.
The broad-shouldered, husky lad, with
the strength and passions of a man and
the judgment of boy, scorns all adj
vice from his elders, although never in
his life did he stand in such need of it.
The Germans have way of expressing
the period from fourteen to eighteen.
They call it the Wander-Jahre. And
truly for many Of the three million of
American boys at the age of adolescence
these years are literally wander years. "

BALANCED RATIONS
FOR DAIRY COWS

In order to economically feed dairy
COW it Is always desirable to supply as
much of the NUT cuts required in the
roughage part of tie ratiOns as pos
sible. says the Kansas Farmer. Alfalfa
hay contains relatively much larger
amounts of protein than corn siIage.
Both are very palatable forms of
rOughage and in combination form u
most satisfactory and economical basis
for milk producing ration. For u
cow of moderate production giving in
the neighborhood of three gallons Of
milk day, fifteen pounds of alfalfa
hay and ali the corn silage the COW
Will consume, which will ordinarily
amount to thirty or thirty-five pounds
daily, will supply sufficient digestibIe
nutrient material for the production of
this quantity of milk.
In order to produce larger quantities
of milk if COW has a capacity for pro-
ducing more milk. it will be necessary
to supply additional nutrients. Addi-
tional roughage cannot be consumed. so
the extra nutrients required must be
supplied In more concentrated fern.
1t Is commonly estimated that about
one pound of properly balanced grain
mixture must be supplied for each adj

And point out the places to wade.

We murmur ard fret ard frown
And our length from h la k we shout

Or throw up our hands and go down.
1t is easy to sit in your carriage
And counsel the man on foot;
But get down and walk and you'll

Can preach of sorrows worth;
But give it sip, and wryer lip,

How Much Seed Corn TO Select,

It will require about seventeen ears
of corn per acre to plant three kernels
per hill in thick rowed corn If you
list, it is the editors judgment that no
more seed than this should be used on
average good upland. and the kernels
should be dropped as nearly as posi-
BILE one in hill and the space should
be as equally distributed us possible.
Remember. however. that in selecting
the corn in the field you go over it
rather hurriedly. When winter comes
and you look the ears over carefully
you will find many that will not suit
you. OF those that do suit number
may not grow strong. unless the corn
Is properly dried and stored. A good
rule Is to select twice as many ears
from good plants in the field as are
needed to plant the required number
Of acres next year This allows very
close selection to be made during the
winter.-KapsaS Farmer.

test is now a matter of history. The
official standing tells the story of the
great race in which the balloting ended
at 2 NJ last Saturday, when the
judges opened the ballot box and com
menced the work of counting the
votes. The checking of the records
was rather a tedious task but the
systematic manner in which the judges
conducted the count, was so thorough
that there was no chance for an error.
The votes were counted on an adding
machine and the results were check d
and rechecked so that they would be
sure to get the correct standing of
each contestant.
One of the most interesting features
of the contest was the friendliness of
the rivalry between the contestants
and this good will was even in stronger
evidence as the announcement of the
winners was made.
All the candidates have been gamers
even those whose names do not ap-
pear on the list of winners. They
have increased their circle Of acquain-
tances and have cemented the bonds
of friendship even closer than when
admiring friends placed their names

the original form of this character In
the most ancient manuscript is wav-
ing line, which to the not too particular
ancients represented water. By some
philOlOgists the letter NJ as used by the
Phoenicians is supposed to have come
from picture representing the human
face, the two down strokes represent
ing the contour of the countenance, the
V stroke Simplifying the nose, the two
dots. long since disused, and a stroke
beneath the V representing the eyes
and the mouth. The old PhOen1cian

Hoqqinq Off Corn.

There is no better way to fatten
hogs with profit to the owner than to
turn them loose in the cOrnfield AMI
let them pick the corn themselves.
Experimentation has proved and the
experience of practical farmers in all
parts Of the state Is that this method
Is profitable one. Every one who
has tried it agrees that 1t is an eco
nomical method of fattening pork
The time required to husk and crib
the corn is saved Not only that. but
the hogs get the corn when it Is fresh
and more relished. More pounds of
pork can be made from bushel Of
corn by "hosging off, than by eating
