SHEEP AND MEAT SHORTAGE
One Big Advantage lie That Animals
Yield Valuable 6y-Product In
WooI-Multply Rapidly.

There is a good basis for the belief
recently expressed by Prof. Carlyle OF
Idaho that sheep will partly replace
cattle and help to overcome the meat
shortage. Sheep multiply more rapidly
than cattle; there are more multiple
births. One of the greatest drawbacks
to the production of beef on high
priced land is that a COW must be
kept year for calf.
Another advantage in favor Of sheer
is that they yield a valuable by-prod
uct, the wool, without having to be
milhed. That appeals to a good many
farmers. For the consumption o.
roughage. the by-product OF the farm
sheep are as well adapted as cattle
Indeed, 1t is not difficult to believe
that sheep will increase in the mex
ten years where cattle have been de
creasing.

WATERING MILK FOR SWINE
lsklmmlIk Alone Is Poor Food and
often Results In Digestive Trou-
bles-Alfalfa Is Best.

Il would make anybody pretty hot
to know that the milk he is buying
Is watered Nevertheless, the add
ton of water to milk fed to the hogs
Is often advisable Where milk is fed
exclusively, or in large amounts, as is
customary in most dairies, digestive
troubles often result among the swine.
Milk as an exclusive diet is harmful.
wasteful and unwise proposition. but
even when some other things are
given with. the addition Of about one
third water is usually beneficial.
Several Of the best hog men add
this amount Of water and let the milk
stand in a barrel in as cool a place as
possible during warm weather until
the mixture begins to sour and then
feed it, The advantage comes partly
IN diluting the feed so that when a
hog has a stomachful there will not be
the amount of food in it that there
would be if pure skimmilk we're given.
II also gives the weaker pigs a better
chance at the food
1t is a good plan TO have some cor
receive, like charcoal wood ashes,
etc. mixtures often recommended, be
fore the hogs all the time but this is
especially necessary when much milk
is given.
As a matter of fact, skimmilk alone
is a poor business. Hogs are in de-
mand, and a dairyman could raise
twice as many, and better ones, too,
il he fed some alfalfa with the milk,
and each pig would cost him less when
ready for the packer.
Alfalfa is best for hogs cut when
about two-thirds as far along as that
cut for cows. 1t is more tender and
digestible, and as it is cut three times
for hogs to twice for cows, as much
can be secured per acre. The alfalfa
should be cured, but not dead dry.
A very tasty food is made by putting
about four pounds of salt with each
ton Of this, and the hogs will go to it
quicker than they will to green al
falfa. On a 20-cow dairy about twice
the hogs can be turned off per year
by such feeding of one acre Of alfalfa
as would be turned off if only skim
milk were fed, which is good bust
ness.

A Sure Money Maker.

YOUR large quantities of inferior fruit

are not otherwise marketable. He
will thus yield a profit on what might
otherwise be wasted. The yearly in
crease in young pigs keeps the supply
rapidly increasing from a small be-
ginning. He is a lucrative invest
ment.
The secret of success in farming, as
in other industries, lies in finding a
use for everything. There is no rea.
son why such products as waste OF
the orchard should be thrown away.
There is a use for everything on the
farm, If the farmer will but seek
until he finds it, and the hog is a great
help in putting all sorts of feed to o
profitable use.

Emotions Expressed In Dancing.

In the Vedas of the Hindus, some
of which date back 5000 years before
Christ, there is steady reference to
dancing as an expression of triumph,
worship, and even the deepest grief.
1t Is the same in the zendavestas Of
the Persians. Dancing with cymbals
and tambourines, with bells tied to
their ankles and wrists or around
their waists, was an art that the
priestesses In the temples must I'M

ACCIDENTS.

Let us not delude ourselves that
results in accident prevention are
something that can be achieved
over night. Far from it, Eternal
vigilance, constant and concentrat-
ed efforts by experts cooperating
with the employers and employees,
is the price of safety. 1t is well
known that only a limited number
of industrial accidents can be pre-
vented through mechanical safe
guards. The vast majority of acct
dents are due to inherent reckless
ness in the individual workman. We
cannot particularly blame that
workman he has been educated
down to it, so to speak; it is no more
his fault than it is his employers,
and his carelessness can only be
by cooperative means.

George Washington was the first
man?' said the teacher, smiling in

" Because said the little boy,

and first in the hearts of his coun-
trymen.'
But at this point a larger boy
held up his hand.
Well, said the teacher to him,
WHO do you think was the first

" Il don't know what his name
was,' said the larger boy, but |
know it wasn't George Washington.

says George Washington married
A widow. So, of course, there must
have been a man ahead of him.

MATCH-TOSSING HABIT

The careless smoker keeps his
habit of match dropping with him
as is illustrated by the chap in Mon

in a store IN the dark. He scratch
ed his match, caught sight of the
scissors, tossed away the match, and
it dropped into an open can OF
gasoline
Small boys, just beginning to
smoke, cause many fires in the
State, according to the fire marshal,
because of their habit of slipping
away behind barns or other build
ings to smoke in secret.

SECRETARY OF SENATE
Three Persons After Job n Kansas
LEGISLATURE.

There Is every indication of lively

during the coming session and at least
three-possibly four-probable candidates
have been mentioned. Among the candf-
dates arc Burt E. Brown of Lawrence;
Grant Harrington Of Kansas City. Kan.
and A. A. Dunmyer of Sedgwick county.
The office of secretary Of the senate
pays 81 900 for the work Of the term. Yet
that 8. 600 il not as easily earned as might
be inferred. There is all manner OF work
connected with the job and long after the
law makers go home the secretary Of the
senate remains in Topeka, preparing the
copy for the senate journal. Two years
ago Burt e. Brown held the job and he
IL again a candidate for the place. Grant
Harrington. private secretary to Governor
Hodges, is also q probable contender tor
the position. A. A.. Dunmyer Of Sedg-
in 1914 may seek the office. while W. p.
FEEDER: secretary to the public utilities
comm1ssion. has also been mentioned. II
is probable, though, that FEEDER will not
be I candidate for the senate job.
