GOOD COMMON HORSE SENSE
Never Water Animal Immediately
After Being Fed Grain--Don't
Change Rations Abruptly.

A horse should not be watered Inn
mediately after being fed grain. Idle
horses should not be fed too much
grain.
Have the horses teeth examined
once a year.
Do not continually dose your horse;
keep him well by proper care. Horses
cannot be kept in thriving condition
If they are compelled to get all their
living from the straw stack.
Do not change the grain ration
abruptly.

maturity, the most typical sows of the
lard type weigh $50 to $50 pounds. A
good breeder and mother cannot be
picked with certainty until she has
been tried out. Besides having the
proper conformation and belonging to
a prolific family, the ideal SOW should
have ten to twelve well-developed
nipples. The essential feature of the
SOW is that she regularly produces

GROWING RadIshes.

Radishes should be grown quickly

Feeds Responsible for Loss.

A hog is hog, and badly balanced
rations and foods that are indi-

loss. Many young pigs are severely
injured by using them for the purpose
of wasting food.

TRUE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE

The spirit of sacrifice Is the reve-
lation of larger life; and because
it is so it is also a revelation of vic
torious power. The life is one, and
through it's action soul can reach
soul. We have all been able from
time to time, in the most expressive
phrase, to enter into the griefs. the
wrongs, the failures, of others. and
as we have done so, we have found
within our reach a power of SYM

phrase, there is virtue which goes
out from him who truly feels for
another to the object of his love, not

ate. There is sense in which we
must pay for all we give.
The instructive pleasure which is
felt in natural gifts, in wealth and
strength, and beauty and rank and
intellect, is call and a promise, a
call to grateful use, and a promise
of effective influence. But all these
things are not in themselves bless
lngs in which we can rest, but op-
portunities Of blessings. There

1t is because you like persons
good qualities well enough to be
able to excuse his faults for their
sake that you are his friend. And
If you do not know of what faults
he is capable you cannot know that
you do like him well enough to ex-
cuse them. That is what l had in
mind when saying that friendship
must be based on absolute knowl-
edge. 1t Is the lack of opportunity
to acquire such knowledge which
makes the friendships formed in
prison so often unstable, so frequent
ly dangerous. 1t is not pleasant
thing to say, yet it is but stating
facts that one may trust too readily
in another person with whom one is
associated in mutually difficult and
unpleasant circumstances. In your
mind the simple fact of your like
positions may seem to form a bond
between you, while he may look at
the situation from an entirely differ
ent point of view; and the lack of
opportunity for you to know each
other well enough to grasp the dis
similarity of your two points of
view way lead to the formation of
friendship which cannot, from its
very nature survive; and which is
often ended in a manner detrimen-
tai to both. yet through no conscious
fault of either.
This is not saying that all friend
ships formed in prison are based on
misconceptions, nor predicting that
all such friendships will prove harm
full, for such are not the facts. The
trouble lies, not in the fact that men
OF different temperament are apt to
become too intimate in circumstanc-
es such as we are IN here, but in the
fact that such intimacy as they may
attain is too shallow, too much on
the surface, to permit of their un-
derstanding and knowing one an
other well enough to make those
concessions aud allowances for the
acts of others which work for har-
mony and mutual good feeling in
any social group.
Many permanent friendships are
formed in prison. friendships of last
ing value; but they do not number
above the usual proportion of acci-
dentals with which one has to reck-
on in all social relationship, and are
generally formed under unusually
favorable circumstances, such as CO.
operation at some mutually congen-
ial task.
1t is gratifying to note that among
those who have such favorable op-
portunities, very few fail to take
advantage of them to the fullest
possible extent. And it is equally
gratifying to note that when such
opportunities are lacking, where the
basis for true and lasting friend
ships is impossible of achievement,
there is yet preponderance of good
fellowship among the men confined
within prison walls.

Sow More Grain.

While it is growing late, yet it is not
too late to sow oats. In the clay sec
: ton of the county oats are not as liable
to be killed by the freezes of winter if
sown early enough for the plant to de-
velop a good root system before the
mercury falls very low. In the sand
section small grain can be sown later
with good results. However, there is
yet time in which to SOW, if You have
not already sown sufficient acreage
to supply your needs. There is no
cheaper crop grown on the farm than
oats. They require no cultivation. Then,
too, if system of rotation is properly
followed, oats are needed to supply
vegetable matter. A large acreage in
oats through Edgefeld county will help
as to become independent of the west
ern corn and grain growers.
After sowing largely of oats select
several acres of good strong land for
your wheat. Make your bread at home.
During the next three weeks is good
time to put in the wheat.
