PROPER FEED FOR
LAMBS PAYS WELL
Sudden Change in. Ration Gre
ates Dietetic Disorders and
Consequent Loss of Life.
(By GEORGE III. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultlIral COilege.)

(By GEORGE III. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural Coilege.)
A small percentage of loss in lambs
in the feed lot is to be expected, but
this loss in some instances is far
greater than it should be. When range
lambs are placed on fattening ration
the change of feed is SO sudden that
dietic disturbances cause general
disorder and several dead sheep are
found in the pens each morning. This
invariably leads to the suspicion that
they are dying of some infectious dis
ease.
In some cases the ration is not well
balanced to secure the best gains and
the conditions of care and handling
might be better, but these things will
account for only nominal loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa.
corn, barley, molasses and straw, ensil-
age, etc., must be made gradually and
herein lies the secret of the heavy
losses of lambs in the feed lots in
the early fall. The desire to get the
lambs on a fattening ration as early
as possible and failing to appreciate
the danger of too heavy feeding and
change of ration has helped to make
lamb feeding an Improbable business
in some instances. A sudden change
of feed or overlooking must be guard
ed against in the domestic animals, es-
pecially is this true with the horse and
sheep.

Taking Stock.


"How's this headline for that stock

denly looking up from his writing,

from her corner by the typewriter.

1t was her within to remain in New

seminaries of the metropolis hesitated
to employ a young woman who had tlg-
ured so consistently on the front pages
of yellow newspapers. Between trips
in search Of employment, Betsy-Bar-
bara continued to typewrite the corre-
spondence Of the Thomas w. North
Agency. Tommy, indeed, had offered
her regular employment as his clerk.
She spurned that offer, holding it to
be mere gratitude When she had
learned the trade, she said, she might
accept a position as typist, and not
minute before.
Tommy, unrufled by her business
like reminder, continued to view Betsy
Barbara Presently the pencil dropped
from his hand. He turned in his
swivel chair and called: "Betsy-Bar-

to Office hours.
Being woman, she caught it.

you're responsible for the whole thing.
Who made me start this concern ?

"Betsy-Barbara!" called Tommy

too gently for the address of a stern

Wife Was ArtfuI.

A good story is that about a man
who one day told his wife he would
give her all the silver pieces she found
in his purse or pockets which were
coined the year she was born.
AS result the lady in due course Of
time had quite an amount of silver or
hand-so much, in fact, that she went
to the bank and deposited it in her
name.
Then, speaking to the cashier. the
lady said:
my husband tells me you are going
to pay him some money today. Won't
you please pay him in this silver

much obliged to you if you wilt"
OF course the cashier, being noted
for his courtesy to the ladies, quickly
replied that he would be happy t.

She finished. She was suffused with

.FATTENING PIGS
ON SHELLED CORN
Experiment Conducted at South
Dakota Station Shows Advan-
tages in Using Milk.

Ordinarily, with all ages of swine, q
bushel of shelled corn will produce an
average of ten pounds of pork. In an
experiment at the South Dakota sta
ton, on an average for the two years
of feeding period of sixty-two days
each, bushel of shelled corn yielded
119 pounds of pork. But when an av-
erage of 1853 pounds of milk was fed
with bushel of shelled corn, an aver
age yield of 1T pounds of pork was
produced.
This was difference of 5.S pounds
In favor of the milk lots; or, in other
words, the milk was equal to 5.S
pounds of pork. However, it must not
be understood that this quantity of
milk fed to pig without the corn
would yield this amount of gain, but
when fed in combination, as above
stated, similar results are to be ex-
pected.

SEEM it is doubtful if without him
woman could be what she is at pres

crudest works of art, poetry and
drama were fashioned by man before
woman came to her own. 1t is SAID
he was possessed at one time OF a
strange illusion that he was necessary.

Much Good in Laughter.

Laugh and grow fat is the popu-

ter as Natures protection against the

ural inclination in face of calamities
