Alexander Dumas, the younger, had
a garden at his city residence that he
had planned and made himself, and
that he was very proud of. His

one.
One day Dumas invited his distin-

plant to plant in the small garden.

C0TTONSEED MEAL FOR FEED
Cattle Feeder Should Secure Supply

Those who have cattle to feed this

Outstanding, but so long as it Is sell

ceived by one being oats while corn
alone should be given to the other.
The roughage consisted Of mixed
clover and timothy hay. By this meth
cd, data has been collected which
makes possible the following compar1'
son Of the two rations for mules:
Mules receiving corn and hay main
tained good health and appetites as
did the mules fed oats and hay.
The mules which received corn and
mixed hay maintained their weight
slightly better than did those fed oats
and mixed hay.
The mules receiving corn and a
endured hard work in hot weather
as we'll as did those getting oats and
hay.
No difference in spirit could be de-
tected in the different lots of mules.
Mature mules required three per
cent more grain and M and four
tenths more hay to approximately
maintain live weight when fed oats
and mixed hay than when fed corn
and mixed hay.
The mules receiving corn and
mixed hay did six per cent more work
when the number Of hours Is used as 8
basis, than did the mules which re-
ceived oats and hay.
No abnormal effect could be no
ticed in any Of the mules receiving
either ration.
The mature mules in, the two-year
test were maintained 2S per cent more
| economically on a ration of corr and
mixed timothy hay than on one con-
sisting of oats and mixed clover and
timothy hay when corn Is valued at
so cents per bushel, oats at 40 cents
per bushel and hay at $40 per ton.

CIV e A.

With the tendency toward increased
prices on all kinds Of feeds and with
the increased attention to the business
side of farming, the economical main
tenance Of mature work mules has
become an important problem on
many farms in the state where mules
are used. 1t has been the custom to
maintain mules on various rations,
consisting Of oats, corn, timothy hay
and perhaps some other common
feedstuffs. These have been fed In
varying quantities and combinations.
Corn has been used extensively as a
grain ration. Many students of AMI
NAL nutrition have given the matter
consideration and have recommended
a less extensive use Of corn and an
addition of an increased portion OF
oats and other feedstuffs.
1t has been a prevalent opinion
that oats is a better feed than corn
for horses and mules. Various argu-
ments have been presented as proof
Of this statement, yet the fact re-
mains that corn constitutes a great
portion of the feed given to mature
work animals. The protein content
Of oats and the mineral content to-
gether with the physical condition of
the oats as a feed have all been cited
as reasons for the efficiency Of oats.
1t has been suggested that a mixture
of oats and corn for work mules would
be a more satisfactory ration than
either oats or corr alone. To deter
mine these points experiments cover
ing a period Of two years were made
at the Missouri station. 1t was the
plan of the experiment to feed two
lots Of mules-the grain ration re-

coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit Of others.
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number Of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago 1 vas making a
visit to a distant part Of the country
and took dinner with one of the
merchants Of the place. l noticed a
somewhat unusual favour Of the cot
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it that, after
the meal was over, l bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so we'll pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SC frequent, and
her general condition much improved,
! This continued until she was we'll and
hearty.
