BIG PROFITS MADE
IN GROUND GRAINS
GIuttOnous Animals Swallow
Much of Their Feed With
out Masticating 1t.
By M. covERDELL.)

Where stock eat the grain In its
natural and unbroken state, it is very
seldom masticated az thoroughly as It
should be. Most animals are naturally
gluttonous and in their haste to con-
sumo grain they swallow much Of it
without crushing or grinding it.
This Yields a detrimental effect on
the stock that is two-fold. The grain
in this solid condition cannot impart
proper nourishment to the animals
and the digestive and assimilative or
gans win be overtaxed and impaired in
their efforts to convert this coarse feed
into substance that will build up the
tissues OF the body.
Aside from those two detriments we
must consider that unground feed
causes waste By passing whole and
practically unchanged through the ami
NAL, or IL the stock do eat an amount
large enough from which sufficient
nourishment can be extracted, it means
about twice as much as must be fed to
be converted into bone and muscular
tissue.
The failure of the stock to masticate
unground grain will also cause a lack
OK digestive secretions or juices 90 es-
sential to this process; then, in order
to supply this deficiency, the animals
have a craving for water. and a large
quantity is thus consumed-much
more than is necessary-and yet this
enormous amount of water has not the
desired effect in promoting digestion
as do the natural juices that should
have been brought down by thorough
mastication.
On the other hand. where the grain
is ground before feeding, 1t is fine and
dry, adhering to the animals mouth
when IL takes , bite, till It has To
chew before 1t can swallow. This
avoids the drawback above mentioned
and by the grain being well crushed
Il insures thorough digestion; later. it,
pulverized condition renders It imme-
diately available for the assimilativa
organs to convert into nourishment-
Done and muscle-without overtaxina
any OF the organs OF these two sysl
TENS. and at the same time 1t will rem.
der less OF this ground feed necessary
to keep the animal in prime shape.
Other important features In favor Of
grinding grain for feeding purposes
are: 1t is easier to handle than tho
whole grain; If fed in the proper re-,
ceptacles the stock win not waste AZ
much of 1t as Of the whole grain: tho

feelings towards his father. Il Is JUST
as impossible to compel the respect Of
ones child as II is to compel some oths
er person to love us. You must earn
his respect, just as you would earn the
respect of friend. It costs you some
thing to keep the good win and friend
ship of your children.
The greatest hold the parent has
upon the child is its companionship,
How often we hear fathers and moth,
ers say that they no longer have
any control over their son; that ha
has passed beyond their reach, and
they do not know what to do with
him. Now. my parent friends, have
you ever tried to make a companion
Of your boy; tried to make him feel
that you were his best friend, by
sympathizing with him in his little
troubles and trials? Do you take an
interest In his hopes and ambitions7
Have you tried to encourage him
when he was down-hearted, had made
serious mistake. Have you SYM
pathized with him in his struggles for
self-control? Amy business man
would be Mortified at the suggestion
that he was running his son by
neglect, that his absorption in busi-
ness would result in the undoing Of
his own son. But IL you have been
in the habit Of driving him away
from you because you did not want
to be bothered every time he asked a
question or came to you with his
little heartaches for your sympathy
and your help. you cannot expect to
have much influence over him. One
Of the bitterest things in many a
business mans life has been the dis
covery. after he had made his money.
that he had lost his hold upon his
boy, and he would give large part
of his fortune to recover his loss.
Every father should think of the
child as a sacred trust, bringing into
the world with him a sealed mes
sage, which he is bound to deliver
like a man and a hero, and that this
sealed message within him is sacred.
It may not be even for the father to
read; but 1t is each fathers duty to
help his boy to live up to it.
1t is comparatively easy for you
to gain your boys confidence, If you
begin early enough. From infancy,
he should grow up to feel that no
one else can take your place, that
you stand in a peculiar relation to
him, which no one else can fill. Every
boy is going to have confdant, some
one to whom he can tell his secrets
and whisper his hopes and ambitions,
which he would not breathe to others.
and this some one should be his IA
