As It Should Be.

In the school house in Belleville,
Wis, a few evenings ago, upon mo-
ton Of the Catholic priest, the Meth
odist minister was elected president
of the community's social center for
the coming winter.
Then three basket ball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, a
farmer, the keeper of the village res
taurant, dentist, clothier, a team
ster, druggist, garage owner, the
banker, the saloonkeeper, a hardware
merchant and a house painter.
They differed in religion, in poll
tics, in income, in social status about
as widely as men can differ. But in
the common school building, in the
free democracy Of the social center
they agreed to lay aside their differ
ences for the novel purpose of dis
covering how much good fellowship
there was in meeting together, now
and then, as equals, as brothers.
In the democracy Of play, in the
democracy Of frank, fair discussion
Of public questions, they are finding
out, these differing men Of Bellville
that as human beings, they're amaz
ingly alike, once you get below thu
surface.
And out Of this agreeable discovery
will come, for Belleville, more toler
ance, more kindliness Of feeling, more
give and take than it had ever before
known. Even when they shall diffel
again-as, of course, they often vii
1t won't be with as much bitterness
as much bigotry, as much mean hat
as of yore.
It's wonderful solvent, is brother
hood.

''My Country, IT'S of Thee"

"My Country, 'Tis of Thee
I love thine inland seas,
Thy groves and giant trees,
Thy rolling plains;
Thy rivers mighty sweep,
Thy mystic cannons deep,
Thy mountains wide and steep.
All thy domains.
Thy silver eastern strands,
Thy Golden Gate that stands
Fronting the West;
Thy fowery Southland fair,
Thy sweet and crystal air
0 land beyond compare,
Thee love best.
The: objection has often been rais-
ed, says the American Lutheran Sur
vey that the author of the national
hymn, "My Country 'Tis of Thee"
had never been far enough away
from New England to know anything
about the nature beauties of our won
derful land; for which reason the
hymn says nothing about. them ex-
cept II love thy rocks and rills, thy
woods and tempted hills" Samuel
Francis Smith wrote the hymn in
1882. To remove this criticism DR..
Henry Van Dyke has written the
beautiful supplementary stanzas CIV
en- above. Supplementary stanzas
for poems are usually said to be a
failure but it will be seen that these
supply the lack that is often criticiz-
ed.
At your next club meeting sing
these stanzas. Clip them from this
issue of the Sheaf SO that you will be
able to sing without hesitation.

CHEAP FEEDS ARE
SOMETIMES COSTLY
Straw and Corn Stovsr May
Be Fed at Expense Of
the Milk Yield.
!. By A. j. INQUIRE,
Extension Division, Minnesota COLLEGE

Extension Division, Minnesota College
Of Agriculture.
A feed for dairy COWS may be cheap
and yet not cheap from the standpoint
OF milk-production. If we may regard
straw as feed, it is cheap, but the
farmer who uses straw largely in feed.
ing cows will find it very expensive.
1t does not contain milk-producing
labor and COWS to use straw in any
quantity. Hence it is an expensive
feed Corn stover (corn stalks from
which the ears have been husked) is
also an expensive feed for the same
reason, when it is the only roughage
used for COWS.
Clover-hay, when cut in season and,
properly cured, is the cheapest milk
producing feed that can be grown on
the average farm. Alfalfa is also
cheap milk-producing feed, more val
liable per ton than clover, but not
fitting in so well in croprotations.
Glover and Alfalfa.
Either Or both of these feeds should
be grown on every farm where cows
are kept for milk production 1t is
not necessary that clover or alfalfa
should make up the entire rough feed.
'Fodder-cOrn, timothy or wild hay,
some corn stover or even straw may
make up part of the roughage, but at
least half of the rough feed should
be clover Or alfalfa, to get the most
economical and profitable results.
With clover or alfalfa no mill feeds
(bran, shorts, etc. need be purchased
to make up a balanced ration where
there is a sufficient supply of farm
grown grains-oats, corn and barley.
The farm-grown grains, combined
with clover or alfalfa, make bal
anced ration, and balanced ration
when it can be produced on the farm
is always cheapest.
Fodder-Corn Is Cheap.
Fodder-corn (corn grown thickly)
is cheap feed and contains consid-
cradle milk producing substance 1t
gives best results when fed in con-
Enection with clover or alfalfa. Fodder
corn yields an abundance of feed per
acre-from three to six tons of cured
fodder-and crop can be produced
in three months; It is splendid sup
plement to the hay crop.
Roots as a mill-producing feed will
Etake the place of ensilage on the
small farm, where sufficient number
of COWS: are not kept to warrant the
Bilo. Roots will also take the place
|.of grain to a considerable extent.
Like grass, roots contain a large guam
/ tity of water and they need to be fed
in large quantities when they are
used in place Of grain Aside from
their actual food value, roots have a
value as natures medicine. They
are valuable tonic for dairy cows
when only dry feeds are used.

Former PaLis0didn Injured By
Knob Pulling off Post Office
Storm Door.

Captain F. r. Schwab, who was
located in Palisade for two years or
more until last fall, when he went to
live in Denver, has recently had
serious injury. He was entering the
Denver postoflice building, going up
the front steps to the storm doors,
when he took hold of the knob to
open the door it pulled off, and he
fell backwards down the stone steps.
He was knocked unconscious, and
remained in that condition for thirty
hours. He has been in the hospital
several weeks now from the injury.
Last week he was reported still con-
fined to his bed. At present he is at
the home of friend and is slowly
improving. Fred A. Wells has had
several letters recently from him.
Capt. Schwab has only one leg and
walks on clutches. He was a regular
visitor at all Palisade ball games.

ABOUT SPELLING

That the spelling of English can
not be made science is in effect, the
conclusion to be drawn from the ac-
ton of the Illinois State Teachers
Association in rejecting overwhelm-
ingly a resolution favoring simpli-
fed spelling. They decided not to lay
impious and vandal hands on this
great inheritance of the English race,
exhibiting therein a discretion that
simplified spelling zealots refuse to
practice.
The English language is not priv
ate property with which any daring or
disrespectful person may take liber-
ties. 1t is great public institution
and any alterations in it could not
we'll or justly be undertaken without
a convocation of numerous and ac-
credited representative from all
those who employ it daily.
An upstart revolutionary has no
right to nip a letter here or mangle a
syllable there. 1t is not his to mutt
late. The great fabric of English is
growth and an evolution not deliber-
ate creation, and the use of it to eX-
press thought or to fashion images
that appeal to the imagination is an
art as much so as painting or sculp-
ture.
But you can hardly convince SIM
plifed spoilers with their little scis-
sors and pincers of this.

Cheap Vandals At
Palisade Fairgrounds

Some smart boys, a mite too smart,
went down to the Pansade Play
grounds last Sunday and performed
a number of cheap feats of vandalism,
which, had they been caught in the
act, would have resulted in something
akin to a good sound threshing. First,
they played ball on the soft ground,
and mussed things in the infield con-
siderably. The pitchers box was bad
ly displaced by their rough feet, and
around the home plate there were
tracks that could not be taken out
except with a shovel and pick. They
also performed well with the players
bench just below the grand stand,
turning over one section of it entirely
because the ground was soft, and the
post that held it up readily yielded to
almost any kind of push. Next the
intruders paid their respects to the
grand stand and tore up one of the
seats, besides tearing off a great
silver from one of the foundation
boards about the center. There was
no trace of the chaps, but they will
not repeat their performance except
at their cost.
