A MOUSE STORY

The field mice had left their sum-
mer home among the grain stalks
and had made for themselves a
warm, little house under the
ground.
Strange TO say, they had no pan
try in their house but each little
mouse had his store safely
hidden away under some log or
stone, near by.
One frosty moonlight night Skip
said, Mother, I think I'll run over
to my store and get nice grain Of
wheat. I'm so hungry
"No, Skip" said Mother Mouse.
you must not go out at night.
Have | not told you many times
how the red Owl comes out at night?
With his great round eyes he will
see you and carry you away to his
hole"
I'm not afraidw said Skip. "Tll
just run over and back again be-
fore that old owl can wink" And
away he went.
Soon Mother Mouse heard the
"Hoo!" Hoo of the great red
owl.
But poor little Skip never came

For south Missouri, where oats are

years, is good on soils where wheat
follows corn well. Where wheat does
not follow corn to advantage, - 10 the

will be best, as rule. to plant oats

FARMER DEPENDED ON TO
AVERT MEAT FAMINE
OF FUTURE
No Prospect of Relief Seen Unless
Ranges are Cut Into Equal
Sections.

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept. 22.-Responsi.
bility of averting meat famine was
put up to small farmers today by
speakers at the eighth annual conven-
ton of the American Meat Packers.
= All the speakers agreed that if the
decrease in meat production of the
last ten years is not stopped the ques-
ton Of meat supply for the people of
the United States will be most seri-
Gus. Among the remedies suggested
are:
Every farmer should raise at least
two beef steers year to Offset the
decreased production of the great
ranches of the West.
The remaining ranges should be
cut up in farms to put all farmers on
an equal footing.
Development of the hills of New
England as beef-producing country.
Substitution of corn for cotton in
the Southern States and the conse-
quent development of the cattle and
hog production.
The report of the Executive Com
mittee sounded the first note of the
danger of a famine. The American
meat packing-house situation and that
of consumers of meat food products
in this country are both in condition
more precarious than at any other
time in our history, the report states.

The surest method of preventing

is to keep the hogs healthy, start
