GROW ROOT CROPS
FOR PIGS OR HOGS
Mangels and Sugar Beets Are
Considered ExceIIent-Have
High Feeding Value.

It has been demonstrated that seven
or eight pounds of mangels have as
great feeding value as one pound Of
grain, when given to pigs or hogs,
and that sugar beets have even a
greater value, so it is hard to under
stand why pig raisers are so careless
about growing root crops for their an
imals. Not only have the root crops a
high feeding value, but they do more
for the good health Of the hogs than
one can estimate.
In regard to their feeding value, it
has been demonstrated time and again
that when mangel or sugar beets, or
both, are fed in connection with light
rations of grain, using middlings in
stead of bran, pork of high quality can
be produced cheaper than In any other
way, with the possible exception of the
substitution of ensilage for the root
crops.
II root crops can be bought at rea-
sonable prices, better have some for
feeding, and next season grow your
own supply.

Oh the years we waste, and the tears we
waste,
And the work Of our heart and hand
Belong to the woman who did not know
And did not understand.
There are men who have world or
confidence in themselves; there are
others who are always fearful lest
they make mistakes before the woman
they care for. The man who over
rates his abilities laughs when his
sweetheart tells him of other would
be suitors who write her letters or
walk home with her from afternoon
affairs. The information does not
worry him in the least. He mag
ines himself far superior to any young
man she has mentioned. Not for mo-
ment does he imagine his being Tilted
for any of these less brilliant young
fellows.
A girl may tell a diffident lover
these stories and see the alarm spring
at once into his eyes. The thoughts
of losing her fills him with fear. His
voice grows husky, his hands trem-
vivacity, hope. He is downhearted.
His home folks do their best to cheer
him. 1t is useless. Nothing seems
capable of cheering him. If he loses
his position he gives up the thought
of winning her entirely. He hasn't the
courage to go and see her. He fan
cies no woman will cling to sinking
ship.
He does not believe he can hold a
woman's love for long. In company
of young men and women he Is at his
worst. He is sure that the woman he
loves is comparing him unfavorably
with the rest. This does not make
him feel assured by any means. The
whole trouble with such young man
is he is too modest by far: does not
know his own powers and is. there
fore, faint-hearted.
Every human being has some good
qualities to Offset his backwardness.
Women are drawn toward men, at
tracted by their magnetic personality,
their Difference to the weaker sex,
their kindness, truthfulness, their eff
forts to please the woman they love
best
What more manly tribute could any
one pay than this? They are true as
steel to sweetheart or wife. They are
not flirting with other girls or trying
to arouse the demon of jealousy in the
heart that beats for them alone. The
lover who is wont to be downhearted
over trifles is the exact opposite of
the self-assured, overconfdent lover.
There is the difference of heart be-
tween them. The difident lover is the
one who has it-beating in his bosom.
The downhearted lover wastes years
unnecessarily in repining over trifies
"a falling out with his sweetheart. A
girl who has such lover should do
her best to win him away from this
state by doing everything to lift his
cares-never to add one.
1t is a misfortune to give way to
the blues. The man who shakes of
downheartedness and smiles, even by
superhuman effort, in the face Of dis
enlargement is sure to win out in the
loag run. Women admire cour-
ageous, hopeful man. There are those
who consider downhearted lover a
poor stick to lean upon.

1t is good plan to clean out the
sheep pens about three times during
the winter to prevent the manure
from heating; this is bad for the
flock.
The pen should be kept well lit
tered with clean straw and should be
kept level.
Land-plaster should be scattered
over the pen before each lot of fresh
straw. This keeps the gases from
escaping and adds to the value of the
manure.

A poor sheep will eat as much and

1t is a mistake to ignore the NUT

The shepherd who has lot of good

Only the very best sheep, animals
which are true to their specific va
rieties of breed and full of promise,
should be selected for breeding pur-

In a majority of cases size is only
a secondary consideration, provided
only that the animal is fat, smooth

While there is an abundance of good

Unuuestioninq Obedience.

Much trouble as well as much
amusement was caused during the
early stages of the canal work by the
inability of the Jamaican negroes to
take any except a strictly literal view
of orders. In unloading a vessel at
Colon a rope in a pulley at the head
of the mast got damned and a Jamai-
can was ordered to climb up and re-
lease it. He did as ordered. Some
minutes later the boss Of the gang
missed him, and asked with some i'm

1t is generally conceded that IL the

The fairs supply splendid oppor-
