REASON FOR THE MUsTAcHE
In Evidence as Having Been Worn by
British Soldiers as Measure Of
Military Necessity.

Tho correspondent who writes to a
contemporary suggesting that the
British war office authorities should
insist on soldiers being clean shaven
instead of ordering them to wear mus
taches. might have alleged Teutonic
influence in the adoption of the mus
taohe of the British army. The idea
was first borrowed from batch OF
Austrian officers quartered with some
OF our troops on the South coast dur
ing the Waterloo campaign. II was
then taken up by the guards, who very
much resented any attempt on the
part of mere line regiments to follow
the new fashion. The winter cam.
paign in the Crimea led our men to
grow full boards for warmth, and

FATTENING STOCK ON GRAIN
Main Thing to Have High Grade Of
Live Stock, the Kind That VIII
Give Greatest Returns.

The dry farmer has a certain amount
of grain that can be most profitably
disposed of by feeding. This can be
done in the winter, Experiments are
showing that the large amount Of
grain formerly fed to animals is not
necessary and Is unadvisable. so that
considerable stock can be fattened on
a comparatively small amount OF grain.
The main thing necessary is to have
a high grade OF live stock, the kind
that will give the greatest returns.

tBy N. f. CHAPMAN)
Farmers and poultry raisers should
feed sour skim milk constantly. at
least after chicks are few days old.
1t will stimulate their growth. 1t also
increases egg production in the lay
ing fiocks.
Numerous experiments have demon
strated that skim milk and curds, or
cottage cheese. are among the most
stimulating feeds for poultry of all
kinds, except very young chicks.
Many claim that sweet milk is much
safer until the chicks are at least
a week or ten days old
There is constant supply on near
ly every farm and 1t should be uniyeIe
