CHEAPEST FEED FOR WINTER
Hay, Straw and Fodder Cut and Mixed
With Bran, Crushed Corn and Cob
meal Is Relshed by Stock.

Cutting or grinding hay, straw and
fodder add nothing to their nutritive
value. But with proper arrange
ments it is more convenient to feed,
and when mixed with wheat bran and
crushed corn and coOmeal, horses,
COWS and sheep will eat cut fodder
and wheat straw as greedily as the best
of hay. Where there is an abundance
of fodder and straw this is a very
economical method of wintering stock
the hay may be sold and the money
used for buying the bran and oil meal.
One bushel of ine-cut fodder-say
about eight pounds-and one quart Of
corn chop and one quart of wheat
bran and one pint of oil meal mixed
with warm water during the cold
weather three times day, is a good
allowance for a COW not giving milk
that will come fresh il spring. Cows
giving milk should be allowed more
bran and corn chop. The usual allow
ance is three pints of corn chop, two
quarts of wheat bran and one pint of
oil meal, mixed with a half bushel of
equal parts of mixed hay fodder and
straw, given three times day Coarse
fodder should be split and cut fine;

pected to go on mission to the

these women had loosened hearth

regarded as equivalent to good mixed

If the horses are doing but little

If at steady work give two or three

Sheep should be given little grain

mixed hay and corn fodder, fed in
moderate amounts, will keep them in
thrifty condition.

A World Of Love.

Do you ever STOP to think how full
this world is of things to love, if your
heart is just big enough to let them
in? We love to live for the beauty
of the things surrounding us and the
JOY we take in being among them.
And it is my belief that the way to
make folks love us is for us to be able
to appreciate what they can do

Citizenship.

Loyalty no longer consists in meet
ing the ordinary responsibilities in
citizenship, or even in manifesting
willingness to surrender life in time
of peril. Citizenship has, like all life
itself. become exceedingly complex;
and the man can be the right kind OF
citizen only as he realizes that every
thought and every act of his life must
bear a conscious relation to society
and to the well-being of theSpeople

Kindness.

The spirit of unwearied good will is
the great lifting power of the world
When we can do nothing else to right
wrongs, lessen burdens or mend life's
hard places for weary feet, we can at
least be kind-kind in face, voice and
deed. And oh, how many dark places
would brighten, heavy loads grow light
and new courage come to the heart If
only simple kindness were the rule Of
earth!

MAY DAY.

On the first day of May in the old fashioned country town. the children used to expect a half holiday. It was quite customary for the teacher gathering of flowers. and observation of birds, trees: and vegetation.
 The twentieth century youngster is too sophisticated for such simple joys. The boys are out on the back lot playing ball and whooping like In dians. The small girls are design ing new 1915 style gowns for their dolls, while the big girls are having. formal teas.
 Tn the Old World May day was a time of popular merry making. For a young woman to be chosen Queen of the May, an election based mostly on her beauty of feature, was a great CT triumph than anything that could be bought with money. Light heart ed jewellers gathered around the May pole, and the lads and lassies footed it on the village green.
 Today in Europe, wereAit not for the war. May day would bring the usual Socialistic and trade union manifestations. The spirit of festival seems to have gone out of the day.
 In this country May day has no longer any particular festival char acter. In many cities it is the annual moving day. y1ouse-keepers, dis contented with their surroundings pack their lares and penates on the moving van, and sally forth in dis comfort and toll after more com modious mansions, or at least apart ments for the rent of which they car | get trusted.
 Thus the first day of May once 2 pastoral kind of an occasion. seem. to stand today mostly for unrest A. 1 the sap rises in the trees at ths spring time. so some kind of human sap seems to stir the, heart, creating new Iongings for the untried and tn, i unp possessed. Perhaps the most thor 1 oughly sensible way to celebrate it where possible, is to quit work ant go to the ball game.

 Known in Sports.

Michael Minor of Groton, Conn. came to this city yesterday and posi- lively identified the man who shot himself at the Hotel Astor, as his brother, John Minor, a cab driver.
