When Daddy Was a Boy

When twilight comes, my daddy takes
Me up upon his knee,
And tells me of the things he did
When he was young, like me;
How maple sugar, cooled with snow,
His appetite would cIoy;
Gee. but they must had good times
When Daddy was boyI
He had to pass a haunted house
When coming home from school.
Where trees grew all around the edge
OF some black, swampy pool
An once they thought they saw a ghost
He and my Uncle Roy
Gee. but they must "a had good times
When Daddy was boyI
O'course, he had to do the chores,
And had to bring in wood,
And then. when Christmas came around
He'd get, if he was good,
A pair of shoes, or a new hat
Instead of any toy
But. anyhow. they had good times,
When Daddy was a boy.
My daddy wasn't any saint;
From school he'd sneak away,
And hunt wild Injuns in the woods,
Just like we do today;
He used to go barefooted, too;
Green apples he'd enjoy

PERTINENT QUESTION OF BOY
Willie Figures II Out How Father Is
So Small and His Uncle Jim So
Big and Tall.

At dinner party reference was

thing along that line was exploded by

her wasn't much bigger than a
fuii-gsown sparrow. Watching his
uncle one day thoughts came into Will

Mamma" said he, turning to his
maternal relative, how is it that
Uncle Jim grew so big and tall?"
He was always a good little boy"
carefully explained mamma. "and be-
cause of that God permitted him to
grow up tall and strong"
II see," thoughtfully used Willie,
and then added, when father was a
boy l guess he must have been some

Kansas station a lot of skim milk
calves which were placed in the feed
lot at once and finished with alfalfa
hay and corn made an average gain OF
440 pounds per head, consuming 81
bushels of corn during the second pc
Rod. Adding this to the average
amount fed to the skim milk calves
up to six months of age, the total
is 80 bushels of grain when the
calves were sent to market weighing
little over 500 pounds.

els of grain per head. They we're
sold when they weighed 74O pounds
at IL months. The calves in this ex.
pertinent, however, were of very low
breeding and were well suited for the
purpose. If they had been well-bred
calves, Professor Wheeler states
they might have been brought up
about 100 pounds of weight on the
same amount of grain. These are
some of the things that the baby
beef feeder must thoroughly under
stand before he undertakes to start
in the business.
Another thing to be figured in the
cost of making baby beef is the cost
of feeding the dam while producing
the baby beef for market. If the COW
has given no other return she is GER
tainly worth at least SIS per year, and
this should be charged against the
calf when he is sent to market. Too
many feeders fail to take this impor-
tant item into account, overlooking
the fact that they must feed the COW
while she is producing milk TO give
the youngster a start. If she has fur
nished milk which has been sold or
made into butter or cheese then, of
course, this item may be very much
reduced
The calves should be allowed to
suckle the dams as long as possible
in order to keep what is known as
calf fat" that is, the natural fat
which is on their bodies when born,
and they must be taught to eat grain
as soon as possible. This should be
in the form of oats and corn ground
and if fed with one-half bran the
ration is an excellent one.
1t is a mistake to feed very young
calves cottonseed meal as it is too
strong for their digestive organs and
is liable to upset them and prevent
them from laying on fat.

POULTRY FANCIERS'
NEED OF INDUSTRY
Men Wanted to Create Breeds
and Perfect Old 0neS-Spec-

tBy M. x. BoyER)

It has been asked: Will the fanci-
ers eventually be driven to the wall by
the progress made in growing market
poultry? Certainly not We need fan.
ciers-real fanciers. We want men to
create breeds and to perfect the old
ones. But the speculator and the
huckster is fast seeing his finish
The man with a string of breeds is
not fancier. He is Spectator. It
would be next to impossible for him
to give each of these breeds his best
attention. To thoroughly know a
breed, and to get out of it all that is
good it would require an ordinary life
time.
Amateur fanciers will often buy
culls from breed well advertised and
then advertise eggs for Matching from
so-and-sos strain. The man is a
worse enemy of the fancier than the
man who breeds dunghill fowls.
A wonderful interest has sprung up
in poultry matters. Large sums of
money are being invested, and poul-
try farms by the score are started
These new farms are on the lookout
for utility stock The man who can
advertise big egg records generally
gets the trade They want carcasses
and egg records-business poultry.
SO the best advice to the beginner
is to join the utility ranks and raise
poultry and eggs for market.
Then in after years he can, if he
feels 80 inclined, gradually creep up
into the fancier's fold. 1t is a step
that cannot be taken hastily.

CAREFULLY ADJUST
COLLAR OF HORSES
Sore Shoulders Are More Easily
Prevented Than Cured-ReSt
the Team Often.

| have found that sore shoulders
on horses at blowing and cultivation
time are due largely to a lack Of
humane thought and to neglect on
the part of the driver. We cannot be
too careful about fitting the collars.
The trouble lies there. The collar
should be fitted to every horse with
precision and pains. 1t is cruel and a
mistake to change harness from one
team to another without carefully adj
justing the collar each time, says a
writer in Baltimore American. The
padding of the collar should be
worked down with the hands until it
conforms to the shape of the horses
shoulder. The surface of the collar
should be clean and free from grit.
When the collars are removed after
working it takes but little time to
battle the shoulders in cold water,
and it counts a great deal. 1t tough
ems the shoulder and removes all
sweat and dirt. Calling will never
occur if the horse is not overheated
beneath the collar. 1t takes some
thought and care to prevent this, espe-
cially on sultry. humid days.
Cultivation is very strenuous and
heating, and upon sultry days the
team should be rested often, the col
lar being lifted from the shoulders to
allow them to dry and cool.
Many think CALLED shoulders nee
essary evil, but sore shoulders can
be prevented and are more easily pre-
vented than cured. If ] think j

tBy L. MILLER)


There is good profit in making
saby beef; that is. in preparing ami
mails for market when they are from
twelve to eighteen months old, but not
every man can make it. Many things
enter into the preparation of baby
beef which very few farmers possess.
In the first place he must have on
his farm an abundance of foods that
are well adapted for the particular
purpose of making growth and fat in
the youngsters. He must not feed
foods that are so coarse that they will
not be suitable for young stock, IL he
does he will produce paunchy animals
and fail to get on their ribs the nee
essary fat and to make them profit
able. Foods, especially fodder, which
may be suitable for older animals are
often entirely unfit for the production
of baby beef. There is a tremendous
waste in feeding young animals al
though pound of grain ted to the
very young calf may produce a pound
of gain, but with this there is more
or less waste, mainly water, and the
first thing to do is to start the fat
going on the youngster.
If the calf is allowed to become thin
he can never again be properly fat
tened. Baby beef must be started
from the moment the animal is able
to take his first meal from his mother
and he must be first every moment
from that time until he is sent to
market.
Dry straw fattens calves particularly
when they lie on it and sleep a great
deal. Young calves are much like
young babies, they must be stuffed as
much as they will in peace and quiet.
Sunshine and plenty Of fresh air
are almost as necessary as food be-
cause they help digestion wonderfully
The farmer who has plenty of skim
milk, alfalfa, clover and corn may
produce baby beef at profit Calves
can be raised on skim milk until about
six months of age, provided they are
fed on grain, clover or alfalfa at a
comparatively small cost. Some ex-
perienced feeders say they can make
$50 to 400 pounds of baby beef at six
months at cost of less than SIS per
head. In this cost the skim milk
has been put at so cents per
hundredweight. Roughage figures
at 81 per ton, and all grain at so
cents per hundredweight. Labor is
put in at 10 cents an hour At the

The edge of the plate rests upon the

to prevent the possibility of it slipping

without peeling four large cucumbers,
add cupful of water, boil until soft,
cool and strain. To one and one-half
ounces of juice add equal portion of
alcohol and one-fourth ounce powdered
CASTLE soap; let stand over night, add
eight ounces of cucumber juice. one
ounce of oil of sweet almonds, twenty
