A REBELLION
Food Demanded.

The human body will stand a lot OF
abuse, but sometime it will surely re-
bel and demand proper food in place
of the pasty, starchy, greasy stuffs on
which it has been made sick
Then is the time to try Grape-Nuts,
the most scientific and perfect food in
the world.
A lady of Washington says: "Three
years ago was very i'll with catarrh
of the stomach and was given up to
die by one doctor. I laid in bed four
months and my stomach was so weak
that / could not keep down medicine
or hardly any kind of food and was so
weak and emaciated after four months
of this starvation tina. my daughter
could easily lift me from bed and put
me in my chair.
But weak as my stomach was, 1t
accepted, relished and digested Grape
Nuts without any difficulty the first
time that wonderful food was tried.
II am now strong and in better
health than for a great many years
and am gradually growing still
stronger. rely on Grape-Nuts for
much of the nourishment that I get.
The results have certainly been won
derful in my case and prove that no
stomach is so weak it will not digest
Grape-Nuts.
my baby got fat from feeding on
Grape-Nuts. was afraid l would
have to stop giving the food to him,
but l guess it is healthy fat, for his
health is just perfect" Name given

BEGINNING of Antwerp,

Antwerp it is said, takes it's name
from castle which in Frankish times
marked the site of the city This cas-
tie was built to protect the entrance
of the Scheldt, and to prevent foreign
traders introducing goods into the
country without paying toll to the
sovereign lord. The penalty for theft
and smuggling was in those days the
cutting off of hand, and, as in this
case, the severed members were
thrown into the Scheldt, the castle
came to be known as Andhunerbo Cor,
in Flemish, Antwerpen), "the place
of handthrowing." The castle and
two severed hands appear on the city
arms tn this day.

.SUCCULENT FEED is
REQUIRED BY EWES
Best Pasture Oh Farm Should Be
Saved for Them--Ram Also
Needs Good Attention.

If big crop of strong lambs is to
be expected it never will come from
ewes that are half starved at mating
time. Often the ewes are run down
by nursing lambs and then going on
bare pastures to fight flies after wean-
ing. They soon draw upon all of their
spare or slowed up tissues and be-
come weak and thin. If bred in this
condition they do not tend to produce
twins, but have sir giles and these of
ten are puny and die at birth. For
crop of big strong lambs, made up of
doubles and triples, feed the ewes
generously, and also the male. They
should have the best pasture on the
farm, specially saved for them, and
here they should also have mixture
of whole oats, wheat bran and oil meal
or cake. It also is we'll, if possible,
to supply cabbage or roots or an
abundance of green fodder. At first
the ewes may ha re half pound each
per day of the grain mixture and this
may be increased to three quarters
of a pound a day, il the pasture is
good. A little more may be fed, if the
grass is poor and the ewes are down
in condition. Feed the male in the
same way and take him to the eve
pasture night and morning. Do not
allow him to run with the ewes. The
extra feeding ("fiushing'O of ewes and
ram should commence two or three
weeks prior to the mating time and
continue through that period; then the
ewes should be well fed in winter.
Give them plenty Of exercise every
day. Prefer mixed clover or alfalfa
hay to any other. Keep the ewes from
eating much coarse, bulky slough hay
or timothy hay, or weathered corn fod-
der. Supply succulent feed, such as
roots or silage, allowing pot over two
pounds per day of such feed for each
eve. If this is done and the ewes
are kept from wet and storm. good
luck should attend the shepherd as
the reward of his labor.

Stunning him. He tried to slip down a
side lane as he saw coming toward him
Amory Kendall But the latter had
espied him. He ran up to Bertram,
affectionately entwining the arm of the
loyal friend he loved next best to
Evelyn.
You big, brave fellow!" cried Ken
dali, I've heard all about it. The
whole town is talking of the fearful
risk you took, and well they may. Oh,
how grateful Evelyn will be! You
must come at once and see her.
Il have just left her." said Bertram
as steadily as he could. Amory, she
is a rare jewel. Cherish her as the
apple of your eye!"
Why, how grave and strange you
act!" commented Amory.
Il feel So" responded Bertram
gravely.
Sort of shaken up after your lucky
hearted Amory, and let his friend pass

going on within that loyal heart.

He loved Evelyn-he was even sure
that she loved him. He was unfo.-tu-
nate in not coming on the scene until
Amory had proposed to her. Good old
Amory! They had been like brothers
He was not s;rong and muscular like
Bertram, and that had made ATlory
always lean toward him protectingly.
Then, too, he needed a woman's tender
care, for there were times when his
frail frame could not withstand
chronic illness he had inherited.
So, with the early dawn Bertram
Morse quietly, sadly turned his back
on the world that had been, and the
ones he cherished. And all through
the soaring ordeal he whispered to
himself:
When she il old and am old, and
Amory will not care, | shall claim
that kiss"
Bertram visited a widowed sister in
a town at distance He wrote only
one letter. 1t was to his friend Amory,
telling him that he counted on better

Rouqh Feed for WeanIinq.

Timothy and clover hay mixed will
make good rough feed for the wean-
ling foal. Wheat bran is mild laxa-
tive, and contains a goodly proportion
of mineral matter for bone building.
Oats are a bulky feed to feed as a
grain ration. They prevent cYer-eat-
ing and are an excellent heterogeneous
feed for building muscle and blood.
Muscle and bone are required more
than fat in young horses, so too much
corn should not be fed, as it is fat
and heat producer.

nrx Quarters for Swine.

Young pigs need dry, clean quar-
tiers. The narrowing sows should have
dry, clean pens, preferably with
board floors, and very little bedding.
Many more young pigs are overlaid
and smothered by their mothers,
through getting tangled up in the bed
ding, than are injured by lack of bed
ding.

Prevent Hoo Cholera.

1t is much easier and cheaper to
prevent hog cholera than it is to cure
it; its control is largely in the farm
er's hands. Keep your hogs in a
healthful condition by cleaning up, dis
injecting and using care in feeding
and watering. 1t is well to keep coal
screenings, which can be had at a
small cost, by the hogs constantly.
Look to the health and comfort of
your hogs and you will be well repaid.
