NOT TO BE CAUGHT MAPPING
Uncle Tobe Lived Up to His Reputa-
ton and the Doctor Lost
His Bet.

There lives in a certain Vermont
town q quaint old character known
40 Uncle Tobe," who is so con-
eervatlve Of action and speech that 1t
Is almost difflcult at times to get any
thing definite from him. Uncle lobe,
like the Father of His Country. has the
reputation Of never having told a lie.
and In addition he Is 80 cautious OF
statement that he has never been
known to tell an innocent untruth.
On one occasion his doctor, In con-
versation with friends touching Uncle
Tobe's characteristics, ventured to lay
Q bet Of ave dollars that he could cause
Uncle lobe to tell what wasn't 90. A
neighbor promptly took the bet.
The doctor walked into Uncle Tobe's
house next morning, and while he was
talking with the old man, the neighbor
who had taken the bet drove up to the
gate. Uncle lobe went to see what he
wanted, and then the doctor, as he had
agreed to do, went out the back door
and hid In the barn.
Good morning, Tobc," said the VS.
itor, rs the doctor In your house?"
HE was there when / came out"
said Uncle lobe.

LIVE STOCK RELISH
FEED WHEN COOKED
Found Quite Advantageous When
Given to Dairy Cattle During
Cold Weather Of Winter.

Whenever the question as to the ad-
visibility of cooking feed in its prep
aration for stock is raised In group
Of feeders, there is an argument. The
question Is one that Is hard to decide
upon. because there are so many
things that enter into 1t that will deter
mine whether or. not It is the best
thing to do. There is little doubt that
in some cases It lie advisable, but valu-
able as some cooked feeds are on any
farm. there is danger that the enthu'
siasm for them will cause 1t to be over
done and the result may be positive
danger to the stock. The old saying
about getting too much Of a good
thing may not give favorable results
IL carried too far in this case.
Warming feed in cold weather for
one feed a day is q good practice, but
n hot feed three times q day should
be condemned. The hot meal has its
place, but as a steady diet 1t will DO
more harm than good. On cold days,
when stock have an opportunity to NIL
on warm feed, they will suffer with the
cold more than II the feed had not
been warm. A warm feed once day
is very much relished, and when fed
with other feed such as hay, fodder
and other roughage that is not cooked
will assist the animal greatly In keep
ing in good condition. Dairy cattle
can be handled little differently, for
a little warm feed during cold weather
at each milking, fed in connection with
the other feed, will be found advan'
tageous, as the animal will respond by
giving an increased flow Of milk.
The two objections to cooking feed
are that It sometimes requires roo
much labor, and that some feeds are
made less digestible by being cooked.
When food is cooked the protein In 1t
will coagulate, thus causing 1t to De
less digestible. This Is illustrated by
the fact that when an egg is cooked
the albumen, or white, il less digesti-
BILE than It is when It is raw. Some
feeds that contain little protein, as po-
tatoes, are greatly improved by COOK
ing, and many other feeds can be made
palatable by cooking that would not
otherwise be eaten by the stock.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur 70 Bring Back ceier

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded streaked
or gray; also ends dandrun, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make It at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle o. the famous
old recipe for about 80 cents.

ing and are profitable only to men who
thoroughly understand the business Of
preparing them for market.
The draft horse, however, Is the AMI
NAL that does the hard work not only
on the farm but in the big cities and
he is always in demand. The reason
there have been so few good drafters
raised in the past few years, Is be-
cause too many farmers took up with
the craze several years ago OF trying
to produce roadsters by breeding their
mares to light stations and as most
Of them were not willing to pay for the
service Of q first class animal, the re-
suit is that the country IL filled with
second and third rate horses Of no par
ticular use and which bring low prices.
It is gratifying to note, however,
that farmers are coming to their
senses and are now breeding more
drafters than ever before. Using stall
lions on mares Of the same type with
proper weight, he can produce q type
OF animal that will turn out profit
at three years.
Draft mares will do practically as
much work on the farm as horses, and
II properly handled these working
mares will prove the best breeders.

Il costs but very little more to raise
good draft horses than the ordinary
scrub and the drafter will sell for
three or four times as much.
A well bred draft horse Is almost
as good as cash in the bank, because
he sells on sight and brings good
price. A farmer who breeds good
drafters, using first class stations, can
In O few years make q reputation
which will add from 10 to rs per cent
to the price Of his animals over the
prices Of others equally good bred by
men without reputation.

made In raising horses Of this Glass;

USING GROUND CORN
TO FATTEN STEERS
Missouri Experiment Station Has
Been Investigating This
Question for Two Years.

By H. o. ALLISON. Missouri Experiment
station.)
Does It pay to grind corn for fatten'
ing two-year.old steers? The Missouri
experiment station has been investi-
eating this question for the last two
years. While this investigation Is not
yet completed, results obtained up to
the present time indicate that more
rapid gains in live weight and quick
er finish may be expected by the use
of ground grain. Cattle also feed more
uniformly on ground than on whole
corn. There is no doubt but that two
year-old steers will much more CON-
pletely digest ground grain and the
finer 1t is the more completely 1t VIII
be digested.
The work at the Missouri College Of
Agriculture shows clearly that when
ground corn is fed fewer hogs are
needed to follow the steers. The fig
ures obtained indicate that from II to
% per cent Of the value Of the ear
corn fed to steers should be charged to
the hogs, while with finely ground
corn chop 1t will not be more than 3
to 4 per cent. The evidence concern
ing the total gain in live weight on
cattle and hogs per bushel Of corn fed
Is not yet conclusive. It is not likely
that there will be much difference be-
tween feeding ground or whole grain
II the hogs are properly cared for and
II the feeding is done in lots which are
reasonably free from mud.

FRENCH TONIC FOR
THE YOUNG TURKEYS
It Is Of Greatest Importance to
Begin Treatment Before Com:
mencement Of the Red.

A French authority, many years
ago, recommended the following tonic
for young turkeys during the critical
stage:
Take cassia bark in hne powder,
three parts; ginger, ten parts; gentian,
one part; anise seed, one part; car
Donate of iron, FIVE parts; mix thor
oughly by sitting.
A teaspoonful Of the powder should
be mingled with the dough for 20 tur-
keys each morning and evening. It
is of the greatest importance to begin
the treatment q fortnight before the
appearance Of the red. and to continue
It two or three weeks after.

The professor looked on anxiously.

The fight was indeed over. Four Of
the Mongars had galloped away in
