They shutter brought him home
From off the football field
Where he with skill and prowess great
His bravery had sealed.
His eyes were blacked, his nose was smashed,
His face tramped upon,
With nearly half his hair pulled out
And several front teeth gone.
One leg was cracked and generally
Quite well used up was he,
And also very much fatigued
And mad as he could be.
When coming off the football ground
They met upon the way
A stranger bold who gazed at them,
And thus to them did say
g i cannot see what is the use
To go and football play
1t bothers to understand
How it can evel oay. =

Alas It's thus we do them wrong
And underrate their measure;

They do but play for PLEASURE

Sure, he was almost tired to death -
He'd made century run,
And never stopped to catch his breath
AS Ger the plains he spun.
They took him from his fallen bike
And laid him on bed,
Then briskly rubbed his hands and feet
And camphorized his head.
An hour passed by of hope and fear,
And Death was dr;v' n ave.;
His friends were standing by his side
And one of them did say
Why did he work himself so hard
And scorch along the way
hardly see how he could think
That it would ever pay.
Refrain -
Right there his friend then did him wrong
And judged too small his measure;
Twas not for pay that he did ride -
He only rode for pleasure

They hauled him forth from out the drift,
That cold December day,
Where he'd got stuck and fallen down
When lost upon his way.
He'd climbed the hill to foxes hunt
Amidst the binding snow;
He was half frozen, cast and lost,
And farther could not go.
They took him home and thawed him out,
And on his bed they laid him,
While wondering much if he supposed
Such hunting greatly paid him.
Twas hard to see wherein it did,
And one did speak and say
To him: I" How can it profit you
To hunt on such day 2"
Refrain -
Said he: My friend, you do me wrong
And underrate my measure
'Tis not for profit that hunt -
merely hunt for pleasure

The results of five years tests indi-

feed alfalfa most satisfactorily is to
feed 1t without grinding or chopping.
This method has given faster and

amount of chopped or ground alfalfa
or a larger percentage Of either.--Ne-

in too many cases through dis
ease and neglect. Hog cholera will
continue to scourge the country until
all farmers learn that the pig is not

Hog pens and yards should be

Shade and clean water are the next
essentials. In addition 1t is well to

feeding Of grain Is only necessary in
the last few weeks when fitting for

food. A little crushed coal, wood ash

pigs digestion and contribute to its
general healthfulness.
Young pigs are seriously injured by
overlooking and by wet floors and cold
bedding. There should be no haste to
feed grain either to narrowing sow

after narrowing the dam is better off
with slops, mashes and boiled vege-
tables, such as carrots, potatoes and
beets. When the young things get

telling trees last Saturday, was
crushed beneath a large tree which
was being cut by some companions.

Rogers was still alive when the tree
was removed but lived only a few
