BattIeship Churches.

At 1915 a. M church call" is
sounded through the ship, the church
flag is hoisted over the national en-.
sign, and the men gather to the strains
of the band or orchestra in the large
gun compartment on the main deck.
A hymn is sung, followed by re-
sponsive readings, hymns, prayer,
Scripture reading, special music Cat
times), a talk of about twenty min
utes, followed by hymn and closing
prayer in which all join; the service
is then closed with the benediction.
The ships orchestra accompanies the
hymns and the enthusiastic singing
would be an inspiration to the aver
age church. The unity and regularity
with which the men join in the re.
sponsive readings is remarkable. In
tense interest is shown throughout
the service. Better listeners could
not be found than the enlisted men
of the navy.-Christian Herald.

An Island of Giants.

Tory island does not, as one might
imagine, derive its name from rob
berthe now respectable source OF
the name of one great party In the
state. The name comes from Torach,
towery or full of tors. Although not
so big as Epping forest, the island
once housed a race of giants, the
Fomorians, chieftain of whom was
Balor of the Mighty Blows, a one-eyed
gentleman who built himself undyine
fame for keen-sightedness and skill
as a cutthroat. Tory island is now
civilized, with the usual village post
office life. What the islanders chiefly
keep in memory is the wreck OF II. M
S. Wasp in September, 1884, with the
loss of all the crew except six. The
vessel had been sent to the island to
enforce payment of rent or evict the
tenants. Since the wreck nobody mas
had the courage to ask or pay rent.

ORGANIC MATTER TO

Organic matter of soils is the decay

as compared with humus. Humus is
the decaying vegetable matter already
Incorporated in the soil and has be-
come a distinct part of the soil mass.
A supply of organic matter is kept in
the soil by applications of vegetable
matter such as barnyard and green
manures, which keep up the humus
content as WE'LL If soils are cropped
long and continuously to grains in
which the growth is mostly removed,
they become sad and lifeless. The
particles run together badly, causing
greater effort to work the soil, and
also less production. The surface pud-
dies and bakes and becomes lntract-
able. 1t may be made to respond to
proper treatment in the application
of organic matter. At the same time
this matter furnishes an additional
supply of plain food, increases bac-
terial activity and releases otherwise

USE OF ALFALFA
FOR HORSE FEED
Because of Its PaIatability, Ma
ture Animals Are Apt to Eat
Too Much of 1t.

Alfalfa is splendid horse feed, but
must be fed with judgment and care.
Because of it's palatability, mature
horses are likely to eat too much OF
it, if permitted free access to it. The
average farm horse at hard work is
allowed to eat much more alfalfa and
other roughages than he really needs
to maintain his weight. One pound OF
alfalfa or other hay and about one
and a fourth pounds of grain per day
of each one hundred pounds of horse
flesh makes good ration for the work
horse.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;

sorts of distress, particularly backache
and misery in the kidney region; rheu-

The moment your back hurts or kid

take a tablespoonful in a glass of

ARMORED CAR IN WARFARE
European Armies Have Found 1t OF
the Greatest Value in Their
Operations.

Although an engine new to warfare,
the armored motor car has proved ex-
tremely useful, especially for outpost
and scouting duty. Fast, silent, ana
mobile, it covers q vast amount OF
ground on the splendid roads that
crisscross the field of war in western
Europe. Most Of the cars are incased
In light frame of tough steel plate
that ranges in thickness from three
siXteenths of an inch to quarter or
an inch, and that Is impervious to rifle
and machine-gun fire. All the vplner-
able parts of the motor, such as the
radiator and steering gear, and In
some of the newest cars the wheels,
are protected by the steel covering.
The wheels, both wood and wire, are
said to withstand the toughest sort OF
usage. Accidents to the tires are

ment-one or two machine guns so
mounted that they can be swung
through a complete circle-and a
large supply of ammunition. The
crew, which may number from four to
eight or more men, are armed with
rifles and revolvers. Some of the cars
have a steel superstructure that rises
from the chassis frame high enough
to enable the crew to stand upright,
and that is capped with domed roof,
from which bullets and shrapnel usu-
ally fly off at sharp angle without

they were wedding a man OF eXem-
plary habits; that they had gained
true and loving mate.
Also, they declare that they would
as soon have jumped into the fire as
to have become the wife of man
having such a violent disposition had
they but known it, though they kept
company steadily for years. AS mat
ter of fact, these women did know the
disposition CT these lovers. If they
did not, it WAS because they willfIlly
blinded their eyes to their Shortcom-
ings. When a lover begins to get will
fully lax in his attentions to his sweet
heart-for instance, having no heslta-
ton in breaking his engagements with
her repeatedly for no special reason,
Indifferent as to whether she likes it
or not-he does not need to wear sign
to the effect that he'll make her a
careless husband.
If his eyes are on every pretty girl
whom they pass, regardless that her
eyes are on him, she doesn't have to
light a dozen candles of her magma
ton to see clearly that he'd give her
no end of trouble after marriage by
too much admiration for other women.
If he's always chewing cardamom
seeds and cloves when he comes to
see her, she ought to reason it out
that he does not take them for his
health. If he's on the street with her
and leaves her for the ostensible pur-
pose of getting a cigar in The corner
saloon and comes out wiping his lips,
explaining that they didn't have his

while one of these husbands writes

By PROF. J. H. sK1NNER.)

(By PROF. j. H. SKINNER.)
Several years ago Professor Cochel,
who was then my associate in the de-
partment of animal husbandry, assist
ed me in an experiment in finishing
yearling calves in dry lots as com
pared to the pasture. The results OBJ
tanned may be briefly summarized as
follows:
Calves given full feed of grain
from November 10 May made more
rapid and cheaper gains, obtained a
higher finish, sold at higher price
and returned a greater profit fed in a
dry lot than when finished on the pas
ture.
The fulfilled calves when turned on
grass shrunk so much during the first
ten days that it required from two to
three weeks to bring them back to
their original weight.
Steers fed in the dry lot consumed
greater amount of concentrates
than while on the pasture.
The beef of the future must come
from the farms of the middle West,
and the feeder who, in the fall of the
year, buys calves with a view to fin
lshing them for market in such con-
dition that they will sell as prime
yearlings should realize that he is
entering into a feeding proposition
that will require from nine to twelve
months for it's completion.
In order to make the greatest finan.
cial success from the venture he
should select calves showing pro-
nounced beef types, quality, early ma
turity, large capacity for feed and the
milk fat" which has been secured by
having sucked the dam until placed
in the feed lot.
The calves should, If possible, be
taught to eat grain before weaving in
order that there may be no loss in
weight or condition when required to
depend entirely upon themselves for
sustenance. These two factors are
only under control of the man who
finishes calves of his own raising and
who should logically follow the pro-
iuction of yearling beef in the corn
belt.
For him who makes a business of
feeding cattle rather than producing
them, the western ranges must fur
nish the material for the feed lot,
which means that the calves will nec-
essarily have lost much of the
bloom" carried at weaving time and
also be entirely unaccustomed to the
feeds used for production of beef in
the corn belt, both of which will re
suit in a longer feeding period where
prime yearling beef is produced.
When calves are first placed In the
feed lot they should be given the most
palatable feed that can be obtained
until they have lkarned to eat. Most
excellent results liz starting them can
be secured from grain mixture of
shelled corn. bran and oats mixed In
equal proportions by weight, adding
one part of linseed meal to ten parts
Of the grain mixture.
For roughage, good, bright clover
Or alfalfa hay and corn silage are most
useful. After they have learned to

ARE MEN OR !. WOMEN MORE
FAITHFUL TO LOVE?,

To keep one sacred flame |lTW
Through life unchilled, unmoved;
To love in wintry age the same
/ AS first in youth we loved;
To feel that we adore
10 such a fond excess
That, though the heart would break with
more,
It could not live with less.
When l hear people speak Of men
being inconstant ever, to one girl con-
slant never, / think it pity that they
have no acquaintance with the noble
men have known. Men who admire
too ardently on short acquaintance are
few and far between. If you intro
duce a gentleman to lady today and
a short while after ask each how they
like the other, the woman will tell you
frankly: II have met him so few
times that 1 really cannot form an
opinion. He seems to be pleasant.
therefore agreeable. But men have a
habit of putting their best foot for
ward when they are toeing the mark
of first acquaintance" The man will
tell you: "She is a beautiful girl,
with charming personality, but we
have not been thrown in contact suf-
ficiently to determine each others dis
position"
This conveys the idea that before
they are willing to fall in love, men
require something more than beau
tiful face and bewitching manner. A
very youthful man might be caught by
dash and glitter. The older man
knows that is like the froth from
champagne-when the bubble is blown
off the wine is tasteless. When the
supply of brilliant small talk is ex-
hausted a girl finds it difficult to be
entertaining.
The man of good judgment wants a
sensible young woman whose judg,
ment, ready sympathy, and good lis
tening qualities make her an agree
able companion at all times and under
all circumstances. Esteem is the
foundation of his love. The oftener
he meets such woman, the more
grateful is he for the privilege of
her friendship. When he is lonely
he turns to her for consolation as the
sunflower turns to the sun. Slowly
and by degrees comes the thought to
him that a man would do well to
rest his happiness in such fair hands.
When this thought becomes fixed
in his mind the lamp of love has been
lighted in his heart; the steady flame
cannot be easily extinguished. II
aught happens to part them, never
again, of his own volition, would he
fill her place. The hearts of women
are faithful in love, but their natures
crave love fully returned. Of course,
there are those who love but once
and forever. There are others of the
sex who, having known love, will
never afterward consent to live with
out it. If the object which inspires ii
is tickle and from them should go, they
dry their tears and look around for
someone else to comfort them. You
hear a great deal about men breaking
women's hearts, but you seldom hear
Of the men who are martyrs on loves
altar. 1t is easy to be faithful in love
if hearts are truly mated. Weighing
both sides carefully, faithfulness in
love is the uppermost trait in both
sexes. Men hide this characteristic
little better.

Shorthorn Champions.

bran and oats may be dropped from
the ration and the more concentrated
feeds such as corn, cotton seed or
llinseed meal increased according to
appetite, and fed in connection with
! good roughage during the winter.
This method of treatment will re-
suit in an increase of approximately
| two pounds per head daily for six
months. When high grade calves are
given a full feed during this period
| on such rations they will sell from 25
cents to so cents per hundred below
the prices paid for cattle of equal
quality and type on the central mar
kets and will require from three to
! four months of full feeding to make
them prime.
The following report of the expert
ments shows decided advantage in
favor of dry-lot feeding.
The cattle used were high-grade
Hereford steers. The dry lots were
not well adapted to summer feeding,
for the sheds were low and therefore
hot and the flies could not be kept
out of them. The pasture consisted
OF nine acres of mixed timothy and
| clover which furnished more grass
than the cattle could consume from
| the middle of May to the middle of
| August.
In each of the tests the dry-lot
cattle made the greatest gain during
the first month, but there was de-
cided decline during the next two
! months owing to their becoming fat
ter and the condition of the weather.
The cattle in the pasture made the
smallest gain during the first month
due, of course, to the change from
| dry lot to pasture and the decrease in
the amount of grain they would eat.
The steers in the dry lot made
gain Of 1874 pounds in excess of those
on pasture during the first month of
summer feeding, but the second month
the difference was only 80 pounds and
the third month those on pasture
gained &c pounds over those in the
dry lot.
This shows that in the superiority
of the dry-lot method the feeding was
due entirely to the behavior of the
steers the first month, after which the
pasture was superior.
The results Of three months feeding
show a difference of TAI pounds gain
in favor of the dry-lot cattle during
the three years, which was sufficient
to overcome all the other advantages
of pasture feeding when considered in
connection with the added bloom"
and higher market price of the dry
lot at the time of marketing.
Our conclusions were that if it
were possible to turn them out early
in the season before the grass starts
and continue the feed used in the
! dry lot so that the steers would be
| accustomed to the grass gradually,
then there would be an advantage of
dry-lot feeding in the summer, except
| for that which is due to the premium
trade for dry-fed cattle on the central
markets, caused by the general belief
| that carcasses from such cattle are
superior to those from CRASHED ami
mails.
