FEEDING CHICKENS
GRASS FROM LAWN
In Case Fowls Are Not Accus.
toned to Green Food They
viii Engorge Themselves.

tBy II. S. EAKINs. Colorado AgrIcui-
tural College.)
In cities where chickens are kept In
back yards. it is sometimes a COM
mon practice, after moving the lawn,
to throw the cut grass into the chick
en- lot to supply green food for the
fowls. In case the chickens are not
accustomed to green food they will
engorge themselves and frequently be-
come crop bound. The grass will be-
come impacted in a large mass il the
crop which becomes distended. The
bird straightens its neck and yawns,
shows signs of distress. and II not
properly attended to, may die.
Prevention of course should be prac-
ticed, and it may be stated that fewer
cases Of impaction occur. if instead of
feeding the cut grass, the chickens are
allowed the freedom of the grass plot.
Treatment should be sought in cen.
sulting the local veterinarian.

the protection OF his name. and tho

earnest work; promising that the past
six months of her life should be as

upon The Girl laughed at his earnest
ness: assured him that some day the
obstacles to her marriage with her
lover would be removed. and declared
that, in any event. she was quite con-

The Lover was long attentive to
The Girl. and lavished SO many lux.

over the continued excuses for their
delayed marriage; forgot the fitting

the daily press-as any casual reader
might have done-that the man In

had gone abroad for his honeymoon.

THE BUBBLE

When The Man found the apart
ment in which he had been told that
The Girl lived he stood hesitating to
ring the bell. his heart gripped by the
Iron hand of fear. his mind leaping at
every possible and impossible explain
alton OF the presence of this young
woman who was so alone In the
world and totally dependent upon her
own earnings for home in what he
knew to be one of the most expensive
apartment houses in the city.
Finally he mustered his courage and
his ring was answered by a polite
maid who ushered him in, and took
his card with the promise of present
ing 1t to her mistress. AS The Man sat
waiting his eyes wandered over the
many rooms with their exquisite ap-
pointments, and when The Girl came
to him smilingly composed, somehow
1t seemed to him that all OF his world
was being torn from under his feet,
and SO intense was his suffering that
he stood holding her outstretched
hand and gazing into her ayerted face
without a word until she shook her
self free.

He swept the apartment with COM

Except when snow was on the ground
they preferred being out in the hills
and brush foraging in the winter to
housing and feed in the barn.
This spring we had six lambs from
the eight ewes. All the sheep and
lambs are fat and in fine condition and
excellent health. We sheared and
shipped the wool last week, securing
2S cents pound for It from a st.
Louis commission firm. The clip from
the nine sheep gave a net return, aft
er expressage and commission were
deducted, of $21.S5, or a little over
$2.42 each sheep. for wool only.
This was about so per cent of what
the sheep cost us last August when
they were purchased. Counting the
lambs worth S. each by August, the
total income from the flock will
amount to s51.s5. Deducting s5.s5
for feed. the flock will have netted
us $46 in one year. or even 100 per
cent net on the original investment.
which is from two to ten times as
much net profit as we make with any
other of our farm animals.
SSiNSo pcih6 HlBuly pTOlId Die
sheep are the easiest of all domestic
animals to handle. Our children like
them immensely. and can handle them
with ease and safety. They clean the
land of weeds and sprouts. and they
fertilize richly as they roam and for
age. They are so good in so many
ways that we are preparing to in
crease our flock to so ewes on the 100
acre farm.
OF course, sheep and wool are extra
high in price right now, but indica-
tions point to continued high prices.
Those having hilly and rocky land can
turn 1t into rich income property by
fencing it and pasturing with sheep.
Money from the animals comes in at
least twice each year-when wool and
lambs are sold. Old sheep are high
priced, and lambs are the highest they
have been in many years. and prices
for both old and young sheep have
continued high without material
change for many months. Where the
farmer has any spare land not suited
to cultivation. sheep raising offers
golden opportunities at present, and
perhaps will be equally or more profit
able for years to come.

HANDY BAG HOLDER
SAVES MUCH TIME
Light Materials May Be Used in
Construction of Device for
Granary or Barn.

Every farmer should have some kind
of bag holder, so that grain, chop or
bran can be sacked without requiring
the services of a second person. A
square or round hopper, stationary in
some corner of the granary or NOV
able one supported by three spreading
legs is easy to make and handy to use.
Light material may be employed in
making such holder.
The height of<the hopper from the
floor is regulated by the length of the
bags used. as the bottom of the bag
should not rest on the ground while
being filed.
Dull hooks or nails of such length
and position as judgment dictates will
hold the bag while 1t is being filled.
Such conveniences as these are simple.
but they save not only time but much
needed energy.

THE COMPLAIN ER.

You are not altogether satisfied with
yourself. with others, with your en-
vironment, with conditions. Nobody is
satisfied. Neither you nor anybody
else will ever be completely satisfied.
Full satisfaction leads to stagnation.
The satisfied man is a fool, intoxicated
with his own satisfaction. never sober
enough to do more than stagger along
the road OF life.
The complete optimist is no better
than the contented pig in the well-kept
sty.
Regulated dissatisfaction. dissatis-
faction based upon fact, is forerun-
ner of success.
There is, however. a wide gulf be-
tween Legitimate dissatisfaction and
that which consumes the chronic COM
palmer. the disreputable knocker. and
the everlasting kicker.
Life Is made up of Alternatives and
negatives. One without the other is
incomplete. The two properly blended
are part OF the composition of success.
The habitual complainer is an enemy
20 himself, and he is despised by all
with whom he comes In contact. He is
a failure at the start. and will be a
failure as long as he INDUCES in
chronic dissatisfaction.
Conversely. the complete optimist is
dangerous to himself and a menace to
society. because he does not know
enough to get out of the ruts or to
keep from stumbling into holes
Dissatisfaction has value only
when 1t spurs one on to better effort.
When IL deadens ones faculties, as it
often does. and takes the gimp out of
him. so to speak, 1t is an evil of the
most virulent form.
Nobody likes the constant complain
er. He has no friends. He does not
occupy any position of responsibility,
and he never will. He cannot manage
himself or command others. He has
no respect for himself and nobody re-
Bpects him. He is no better than a
dead log floating on the stream, accom-
plishing nothing and serving only as
menace to navigation
Everybody has troubles, and while
every decent man is willing to help
others, he cannot afford to give more
than part OF his time to listening to
complaints. and he should not give ary
OF his time to those which are not
legitimate ones and which he cannot
assist in remedying
Keep your troubles to yourself or
confine them to your immediate
friends. Ninety per cent of trouble
doesn't appear. 1t exists wholly in the
mind.
Don't make a specially of worrying.
There is real trouble to worry about,
and enough to keep you busy
Kick when there is something real

drew aside their skirts and men gave
her cynical smile as she came down
step by step to her small room In q
third-class boarding house where she
sits alone in her ostracism, watching
with hungry eyes the happiness of

OF little children. and thinking OF her
own heritage given in exchange for a
gay little bubble that was sure quick

Favorite Breeding Spot for Sta

Be Spread at Once.

Although straw is the principal
breeding place for the stable fly in
the grain belt, thousands of them de-
velop in manure piles. The house fly
and horn fly also breed extensively
here and therefore the greatest care
should be used in dealing with this
animal refuse.
Manure should be hauled out and
scattered at regular intervals and any
accumulations of straw or hay. espe-
cially adjacent to stables, should be
disposed of. Stable manure being
usually in close proximity to human

ALWAYS KEEP MILK
COLD AS POSSIBLE
Bacteria Increase Very Slowly at
Low Temperatures-Put Ii

By WALTER 3. LEUTz.)- }

- The colder milk is kept, the longer
1t will remain sweet. Bacteria are
responsible for the changes which take
place. and bacteria increase in num-
bers very slowly at low temperatures
Therefore, do not leave milk where
1t will get warm. If possible, put it
directly against the ice.
II this cannot be done, put it in the
compartment of the ice box directly
beneath the ice, for the air circulating
through the ice chest is coolest direct
ly after it passes over the ice.
II no ice box is used. keep the milk
as cool as possible by putting it in the
cellar. or by wrapping the bottle in a
damp cloth and setting it out OF the
direct sunlight in a current of air.

We live on a hilly, brushy farm in
the Ozark region Of Missouri. For
several years we have been clearing
up and fencing our farm, but we have
had terrible time fighting brush and
sprouts on the newly cleared land
Some cattle. hogs and horses have
been an aid in eating and killing the
sprouts in the permanent pastures,
which have been fenced with high and
tight-woven wire.
One of our neighbors has been keep
ing sheep for several years. and has
had splendid success with them. Last
year he had some eve lambs for sale
and we purchased eight of them, and
buck from another farmer to mate
