PROTEIN IS VERY
IMPORTANT FACTOR
Essential to Live Stock, ESpe-
ciaIly to Milk Producing or
Growing Young Animals.

Protein is very important element
of food to every farmer who keeps any
kind of live stock and especially those
that produce milk or grow young ami
mails.
1t is an element of food that cannot
be substituted since it is necessary In
order to produce the muscle and
nerves of the animal.
Protein may be used to a certain ex-
tent as a substitute for the carbohy-
drates or heat and fat-forming ele-
ments of food, but the carbohydrates
cannot be used as substitutes for pro-
tein.
1t is protein in the concentrates such
as cotton seed meal and linseed meal
tankage, that makes them such valu-
able feed stuffs.
So much has been written on the
necessity of protein and the value of
the concentrates as furnishers of this
most valuable element Of food, that
they have raised In price so much that
farmers will have to rely to a greater
extent upon growing their own pro-
tein.
This may be done by growing more
clover, alfalfa and cow peas. Alfalfa
hay and cow pea hay are about equal
in value as furnishers Of protein If
well handled and when well taken
care Of are worth about the same, ton
for ton, as wheat bran.
A little calculation and comparison
of prices and yields Of alfalfa and cow
peas per acre will readily show the
economy of growing protein on the
farm rather than buying it In the con-
centrates.
This is not all; the soil is improved
by the growing of crops so far as the
nitrogen content is concerned. There
is much more nitrogen left in the soil
after a crop of clover, coWpeas or
alfalfa is harvested than there was be-
fore the crop was grown.
The crop harvested is as profitable
for work performed as most any OF
the cereals. With most farmers 1t Will
soon be matter of necessity to grow
more protein on the farm In order to
make a success of the business.

unless that keeps him loaded with too
much fat or appears otherwise to af-
feet him injuriously. The condition
of the horse is the best guide in feed
| ing.
A mixture of 80 pounds oats to 20
pounds wheat bran is very suitable for
stations, and Is a common basis for
feeding them during the breeding sea-
son. Some stallion owners add a lit
tie ground wheat, about one-tenth OF
the whole grain feed by weight, be-
lieving that it has special adaptation
for sustaining breeding powers. Some
feed even more wheat. However, 1t is
safer practice to make oats the main
or sole reliance, with just enough
bran to Tighten the ration and add
variety and laxative qualities.
The feeding of the foal should be-
gin from the very first day, starting
with the dam. She should run on
good blue grass pasture and be given
ration consisting of corn, oats and
bran. A little clover hay once a day
will help. BY the time thee foal is
three or four weeks old 1t will begin
to eat. A very good way to feed the
foal when running to pasture is to
build a creep in the corner of the field
near the barn or near the watering
place. Make it about two rods long
and two rods wide, using poles. the
first one being placed about three and
one-half or four feet from the ground
The round pole will prevent the foal
from bruising its withers when enter
ing or coming from the Enclosure. In
side, and far enough away so the mare
cannot reach it, place feed box and
hay box. They should be securely
fastened at least three feet from the
ground, so the foal cannot bruise Its
knees when stamping flies.

Country Jake" No More.

The country jake" of yesterday
owns farm today of several hundred
acres, lives in palatial home with all
modern conveniences, such as steam
heat, bathroom, improved lighting sys-
tenn, telephone, automobile, ETC., re-
marks the Evansville Courier. His
mail is delivered to his door every
day. He reads the daily newspapers,
the magazines, and the best books
adorn his library. Surely he doesn't
converse on current events as though
he were country jake"-not by
good deal. And to see him running an
automobile on Sunday with his family
as passengers he doesn't appear like
country jake" nor does any member
of his family. The rising generation
of farmers sons and daughters are
farther removed from being called
country jakes" than were their ia
theirs and mothers years ago. We say
times change. And time does change.
1t changes the farm as we'll as the city.
Evolution works miracles on the farm
as we'll as in the city.

Bert Noble shivered as he glanced
down the street, cold, icy. chilling as
the hearts of the crowds that passed
him by unheeding.
THE last dime" he said slowly, seri-
ously. 1--we got to invest it."
He moved towards the window of
the neat, tasty bake shop. 1t was filled
with both solids and dainties. A
screened window below was open. 1t
led into the basement room, where the
goodies were baked A warm current
of air struck his body. The heat was
grateful. A delicious aroma of flavor
ing and spices assaulted his nostrils.
Those cinnamon rolls, decided
Bert, and he went into the store laid
down his dime and received plumb
full bag. The Clearly damsel who
waited on him shot quick glance at
his pale, distressed face and made the
dozen fourteen.

Bert, as he regained the street, Il can
make this fare last me out three whole
days. A hundred and fifty miles. Why,
Napoleon's soldiers covered a thou
sand with no food except horsefesh
and parched corn. Oh, if mother only

He gulped down a sob and set his
steps towards the railroad running
through the town. Then he checked
himself. He stood almost transfxed.
There, standing at the window, at the
very spot he had just vacated, was his
duplicate.
1t was not that the person at whom
Bert gazed resembled him in face, for

the former was younger and more
lightly built. The similitude was
present in the like shivering form,
overcoatless and shrinking from the
cold, in the ravenous eyes fixed upon
the tempting edibles displayed to view
beyond the glittering window frame.
He was a counterpart of Bert in all
this He visibly stood for penniless,
suffering, mayhap desperate human
ity.

i'm over keenly. Then he recognized
a fellow unlucky one.
Looks tempting, doesn't it," he
challenged quite cheerily. 'If there
should be a fire now!" and he laughed
Whimsically-"or if we had a bricki"
mo need of that" retorted Bert in
like affected reckless vein. See here,
and he shook the paper bag in his
hand eff we had a warm spot some
where we could divide"

with hungry alacrity, and he led the
way down the street and through by
lane to the warm room of big factory.
The air was warm from the proximity
of the great furnaces. There was a
bench and no one denied them the
shelter and warmth.
Bert's new acquaintance devoured
more than half of the rolls with an
avidity that indicated long previous
fasting. Then he rolled two cigarettes
made up of the scfapings of his pock
cts and the twain INDUCED in a COM
Portable smoke.
At a glance Bert discerned that his
companion was a young fellow of good
breeding and education. He said his
name was Henry Newton, but was not
inclined to go into his past history
I'm a derelict, stranded just now,
like yourself" he observed, but he
listened with interest to Bert's story.

marked drearily You've got mother
and sister. I've nothing human of kin

His eyes afre with some fresh and
inspiring idea, Newton proceeded to
urge Bert along with him. When they
regained the principal business street.
Of the town he led him into its largest
department store.
