History Of the War

when the history of this war
comes to be written" is n constantly
recurring journalistic phrase, as If the
story Of this great conflict could ever
be written You may be fairly certain
that no one under the rank of an
archangel, in close touch with omnis.
cience, will ever write the full his
tory of the world war. Down below
there isn't the knowledge, and there
isn't the time. There will come sec
tional accounts. But II in the fullness
of time a world syndicate succeeds in
getting some million tons OF print
within covers, the public will Zone
hopes) be thinking of something else.
Yet the literature of the war as a
personal drama is the domain of the
private soldier, and the best letters
from the front have been written by
the private soldier On that side OF
the literature of war the editor of the
Book Monthly has his eye. He is a
specialist on the "Epistles of Atkins,
and already he has been gloating and
cleaning with some thousands of sol
1iers letters before him.-London

Exercise is not only beneficial to the
muscular and maternal development
of breeding sows. but 1t prevents con-
serious problems we have to contend
with, II our sows are in good flesh
condition.
Breeding bulls, boars, rams and
stations should have plenty of fresh
air. light and exercise during the win
ter. Our animals cannot develop good
bone, muscle, constitution, etc, If they
are compelled to spend the winter in
the dark, filthy, poorly ventilated pens
and stables and not allowed to exer-
else during the favorable weather.
The grain ration of breeding ami
mails had best be made up largely of
his homegrown grain foods, such as
corn, oats, barley and peas, supple
mented by such purchased foods as
wheat bran, middlings and linseed
oil meal.
Care should be exercised to avoid
feeding too much heat.producing
foods, but we should strive to main
tain the breeding animals in a good,
vigorous flesh-forming condition, by
feeding them a ration made up OF
clean, wholesome blood, bone and
muscle forming foods.
Glover. alfalfa and mixed hay cut
early and cured properly, are the best
kinds of roughage for breeding ami
mails of all kinds during the winter.
We must not forget the brood saws
when feeding clover and alfalfa hay,
as these folders will afford bulk
which is so essential in maintaining
them in a healthy, vigorous, flesh
forming condition.
The mechanical condition of the
feeds may be greatly improved by run
ming through a cutting box and steam
ing and mixing with wheat bran, mid
dlings and other mill feeds before II
is fed to the brood sows.
All breeding animals should have an
abundance of succuient foods during
the winter, and these may be pro-
vided by laying in a supply of corn
ensilage and roots. For breeding
sows. roots, vegetables and waste
fruits are the best form of succulence,
and 1t will pay every farmer to raise
crop of roots to feed his breeding
swine during the winter.
Some farmers and writers advocate
feeding hogs corn ensilage, but / am
not in favor of this practice and have
seen no good results from feeding
ensilage to hogs.
For breeding ewes, roots and vege-
tables are the best kind of succulent
foods, although corn ensilage may be
used. with fairly good results. In
feeding corn ensilage to breeding
ewes better results win come from
feeding it once day and allowing
for each eve two to four pounds at
feed. Ensilage is not a good food
for brood mares and great care shonld
be exercised in feeding it If any is
| fed to them.

KEEP THE STABLES
CLEAN IN WINTER
Do Not Allow Manure to Accur
mulate, but Spread It on
Land at Once.

These pleasant days of winter when
there is little to do is a good time to
look at the stable and yard TO see If
manure has not begun to accumulate,
and if any is found there is no better
time than the present to scatter it out
over the land. If any land is lett to
be plowed in the spring this land will
be especially benefited by having the
manure spread as soon as possible
Later ,on, as the manure begins to
pile up more and all the other land
has been covered, 1t would be a good
thing to remember the lucern patch
by giving It a gUod coat OF this very
fine plant food In hauling the ma
nure, by all means do not leave it in
little piles over the field but spread
1t out at once.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARkENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Youn9eri Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody viii Know.

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 dandruf, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make II at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul-
phur Hair Remedy" You will get
large bottle for about so cents. Every.
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as 1t docs It
so naturally and evenly. You dlmpen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn.
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Use big draft mares for farm work
and sell the geldings to swell the
bank account or make substantial pay
ment on the mortgage.
The larger the geldings grow the
more money they will bring. The
more feed they get, as a general prop
osition, the larger they grow.
The tillage, the crops and the in
come from the farm are all more or
less dependent upon the economical
management of the work teams.
Attention TO feeding, with respect
to the feed itself and to the method,
will reduce the cost of horsepower re-

will always be in abundance of pure
air without exposing the animals to
cold drafts.
Brood sows and breeding ewes re-
quire plenty of room and will thrive
best If separated in punches, so as
to prevent crowding and lighting at
the trough and feed racks.
Pregnant animals should not be
kept with other animals, where they
will be compelled to fight their own
way for a place to eat and drink, as
they are more subject to injury, and
violent exercise is quite apt to cause
serious trouble.
Exercise is an important essential
in the winter management of all kinds
of breeding animals, and the yards
should be large enough so that the
animals may go out and in as they
please during every pleasant day.
Many swine breeders make a prac-
tice Of feeding their brood sows at
quite a distance from their sleeping
quarters, in order to induce them to
exercise freely, and have found this
an excellent plan, for many sows be-
come sluggish during pregnancy and
will not exercise unless compelled to.

Alfalfa Versus Timothy.

In one ton of alfalfa hay there are
1.044 pounds Of digestible nutrients, OF
which 22O pounds are digestible pro
tein. In one ton of timothy hay there
are 926 pounds of digestible nutrients,
OF which Sc pounds are digestible pro.
tein, says, Hoard's Dairyman. The
nutrients in the timothy hay are fur
nished little cheaper than in the
alfalfa. but the protein in the alfalfa
Is far cheaper than in the timothy.
AS a dairy feed we would consider al
falfa hay cheaper at s2s per ton than
timothy at $50.
