Song of the Stalwart.

The path is closed across the years
That lead again 70 ApriPs day;
The trail is shddoWed by hfe's tears
Where Youtk and Spring haze passed quay;

OF phantom dream and rGnished friend,
Bat on across ats barren plains

ITcI may the April knight hare faith
Whose road still lies bB May and June;
with no dream pet turned to a tCrGith-
Where yet ambition pipes her tune;
Where Life and Lore yet hare song,
Where cheering roices call dfdr,
4 nd where the 1cinding wdy along
No storm-bloWr shades OF darkness bar.
We'll ,nay he sing his battle hymn
Beyond the April fields of Youth;
Wen may he face tho future dim
ITbo pet, some day, must face the Truth;
ITcU may he keep the rOod that leads
Into the goal that he has set,
Who from the tangled codes and creeds
MAJ still remember-or forget
But houe come across The years
To stand beneath n Winter skD;
Behind me, through the bi,lr Of tears,
The dim, far fields Of April lie;
The Winter snOlU upon ny head
Has fallen now-sdps dream or friend

USELESS HORNS ON CATTLE
Whole Process Of Handling Cattle

On the smaller class of farms where

any horns to develop. One farmer
uses caustic potash. One light appli-
cation when a calf is ten days to two
weeks old. prevents all horn develop

this advanced age no cattle should
possess horns. They are useless as
they are dangerous. Another thing is
to break all the cattle to lead and

KEEPING THE SOIL WELL FED
Addition OF Phosphorus or Potassium
or = Combination Of Both May
Be Found Necessary

Good use OF manure and some
clover and clover sod plowed under in
short rotation may not give the full
est results desired, even though aSood
deep seedbed is made and the best of
the seed is planted. Manure and green
clover plowed under may not prove a
balanced ration to permit the soil to
produce maximum crops. Here soil
science should be brought into use to
determine what can be used for best
results to balance up the manure and
clover II the soil seems to fail to sup
ply all the necessary elements An
addition of phosphorus or potassium.
or a combination of both these ele.
ments in the form OF phosphate and
potash fertilizers may be necessary.
The heavier soils usually contain a
large amount of potassium and hence
1t is seldom required as a fertilizer.
So long as these soils are well sup
piled with active organic matter this
element will become available to meet
crop needs. In some cases, however.
some potash fertilizer may prove a
profitable investment. Marsh soils, as
rule. require potash fertilizers.

Denver.-The first special land sale
probably ever held by the State Land
Board at the capitol building brought
unusual prices for pieces of state ag
ricultural land for which there was
considerable bidding.
E. e. Richards paid $1O.5O an acre
for quarter of land in Washington
county which had been appraised at a
minimum price of IS an acre. For an
other quarter of land appraised at the
same value, he paid $12 an acre.
Bidding brought even higher prices
for lower appraised land in Huerfano
county. For four sections of land that
were all appraised at Sc an acre. E. l.
Trownstine paid respectively $16.25,
s10.25. $1O.25 and Sc an acre.
In Weld county one quarter of land
advertised at minimum of $40 an
acre brought $3.50. while another
brought sl4.25 an acre.
There were 3.204 acres sold alto
gether. The special sale was held in
order to allow farmers who were
seeking the land an opportunity to
buy 1t in time to prepare the ground

State Tax Commission. in which the
county board was ordered to raise the

nine specific reasons why the re-
fusal was made was adopted by the
county board and ordered sent to the
tax commission The commission di-
rected that valuations be raised on
certain classes OF property and the
county board replied that this could
not be done because the property Is
already assessed as its full cash val
uation; that to follow the recommen
dations of the state commission
would necessitate new assessment.
which the local board is without pow
er TO make: that an average raise
cannot be made because of the diver

Heat is the great enemy OF eggs,

HOPPER FOR POULTRY
Idea Is Finding Place on Many
Farms With Small FIocks.
Reduces the Labor Of Care and Feed
Ing and Also Supplies Fowls With
Necessary Ingredients of,WeIi-
Balanced Ration.

The hopper feeding of poultry of all
classes is becoming customary among
the large poultrymen and is finding a
place on many farms and in small
flocks.
The main idea is to reduce the Ia
Dor of care and feeding and at the
same time supply the fowls with the
necessary ingredients of balanced
ration. Mixtures of ground grains and
feeds are most frequently used in the
hoppers The fowls seem not likely
to overfeed of such mixtures and when
whole grains are fed in litter and suf-
ficient exercise induced in this manner,
good results are had both in egg pro-
duction and body development of
young fowls. Growing chicks on free
range do spIendidly when hopper fed
and the time and labor of caring for
them is reduced to a minimum.

A PROGRESSIVE DISEASE.

Families that serve wine at meals
are doing the greatest injustice to
their children, for instead of allowing
them to drink anything but nonintoxi-
eating drinks they are starting that
progressive disease that may end in
their ultimate death or disgrace. To
see a beautiful young girl drink a
cocktail or even a glass of sherry
offends health aristocrats. for they
know that poison is contained in every
drop. The misfortune of all poison
taking lies not only in the always ad-
vancing appetite but in the always
receding will.-Lillian Russell.

EXERCISE FOR LITTLE PIGS
Give Them an ArmfuI Of Corn HusI<s'
or Leaves to Root ln-Havs Sep
arate Trough for Feeding.

Sometimes little pigs. when penned
up too closely. show signs of getting
too fat. By giving them a little more
room in which to run they will begin
taking enough exercise to drive away
this fatty pumness. II given an arm
load of corn husks or leaves they will
root around in these and get quite a
good deal of exercise. 1t is all right
for the pigs to have that chubby look
that shows they are well nourished,
but they can get too puffy and fat.
As to the feeding. that will begin tc
take care Of itself as soon as the little
fellows begin trying to eat with the
SOW. When they get that big they
should be fed some ground oats and
corn. Better use a screen in prepar-
ing this food. SO that the hulls can be
taken out. Amy sort OF a screen that
will take out the hulls after grinding
will do for this.
II is better to have a separate trough
and feeding place for the pigs than it
trampled underfoot or crushed when
fed along with the brood sows. By
feeding in a separate pen in smaller
trough their rations will not be stolen
by the older hogs. The pen can be ar
ranged near the regular feeding place
and furnished with an opening big
enough to let the pigs come in and
small enough to keep the full grown
and half grown animals outside.

of the whisky centers Of the United
States. For the year 1914 only seven
pints of intoxicants were used for its
