you spring back quickly, when | press
my finger on you?"
I learned afterwards that this was
a sign that I was kneaded enough
The domestic science teacher came
around and said that was tormented
enough-they called it kneading. So
they put me in a creased pan and set
that pan into another pan OF warm
water and kept the water warm until
I had reached the top of the pan and
was just twice as large as l was be-
fore and could just begin to see some
thing.
Then I was turned out onto that
awful board again and kneaded fo1
about five minutes. This kneading was
to evenly distribute the gas bubbles
about in me. I was then shaped into
a loaf and put into pan over a little
oven to make me to rise some more
When I had reached the top OF the
pan so that I could see something
again, I was popped into heated
oven. 1 continued rising after l
came in here, expecting to see some
thing after I got higher than the
pan, but the oven was dark and l
couldn't see thing. I was baked for
about fifty-fve minutes. When l
came out had a golden brown smooth
crust which was buttered.
When I was about two hours old
the Domestic Science teacher came
with big knife and actually cut a
big slice off of me. She said that my
shape was very good which counted
me five points. I was light and nice
which counted me fifteen points. l
could not stand being kneaded enough
so I lost four points on this which
made me sixteen on crumb. My Won
derful flavor due, of course, some to
the amounts of salt and sugar, count
ed me thirty-fve points; but l was
made out of Gem Flour made in Sank
Centre, that was why I was so good.
Gem Flour has sweet nutty flavor
and makes just fine bread.
Guess what I tested when l got
through? SO per cent! My! but

Use of Pasture Cheap Means Of Producing
Pork--By 0. E. Stephl.

| The peas last till the corn is ready
and then he turns them into the corr
for the finishing touches.
Reitz of Waconia, Mimi, sows 9
plot of rye in the fall for early spring
pasture. In the spring, as early as
possible he seeds rape in the rye anC
harrows it in. The hogs eat the rye
as long as tender and then go afte,
the rape. When the rye is ripe they
! will thresh it free Of charge.
Fencing is perhaps the most expen-
sive part Of furnishing pasture fol-
hogs but as rule it is cheaper than
the labor of caring for and carrying
feed to the hogs. A good system is
a four-year rotation of grain, clover
corn and corn, on four fenced fields of
uniform size. The clover and the two
corn crops are harvested b. the hogs
each year.
Professor Gaumnitz, formerly of
the State Experiment Station, sug-
gests the following as good supple
mentary feeds for pigs on pasture
One, 4 parts of milk to one part of
corn; two, shorts alone; three, corn
and shorts equal parts. Dry sows in
good condition need nothing but pas
ture.
Clover and alfalfa are the cheapest
pastures we have for hogs. 1t costs
about 81 to SIS to produce an acre of
clover while peas and oats cost 81 to
S8 per acre. The cost in the care of
the clover is low because the seed is
sown with the preceding grain crop
and there it not blowing or prepara-
ton of land necessary.
Hogs like young succu1ent pasture
and the clover is liable to get large
and tough, therefore it is we'll to cut
with a mower a small strip of clover
next to~the fence early in June. The
hogs will take care of the new shoots
and leave the rest of the field alone.
The balance of the field may be cut
for hay the latter part of June. By
this time the hogs will probably be
large enough to handle the whole sec
ond crop. It is estimated that an acre
OF clover fed in this manner is equal
to about ton of shorts as feed for
growing pigs. The brood sows and
their itters may be turned in as soon
as the pigs are strong enough. Quite
often part of the second crop of clo-
yer gets ripe and is left to reseed the
field for next season.
In the care of alfalfa it is best not
to pasture it until the third year when
1T will be firmly established and not
so liable to be tramped out. An acre
OF alfalfa will carry Is to 20 pigs or
III to 15 mature hogs all summer. Or
dlnarily an acre of pasture will fur
nlsh feed enough for brood sows and
their itters. It is we'll to keep salt
ashes and charcoal before them at all
times.

BROOTEN team IS
HANDED shut OUT
SAUK CENTRE REGULARS, WITH
YOUNG ON MOUND, HAVE
ROMP WITH VITITORS
LOCALS PLAY In true FORM
HIT BALL HARD, THOUGH FAC.
ING CLEVER HURLER, AND
FIELD PERFECTLY

Playing in true form for the first
time this season-and with Roy
Young going great guns on the mound
Jim Segers' Regulars enjoyed jol-
ly romp at the Fair Grounds Sunday
afternoon, simply toying with the
much-touted Brooten team and shut
ting out the visitors-6 to 0.
The Regulars uncorked some really
corking good baseball. They went
through the session without a fielding
bobble, hit the ball hard, and register
ed their drives when they meant runs.
Jacobson and Weisner starred in
the field. In the third inning the for
mer went back deep into center and
pulled down Texas Lacquer from
| Odell's club which ordinarily would
have gone for hit.
In the sixth, Weisner staged thrill
Ter when he raced over to the foul line
behind first base and grabbed one sent
up by Colby which every spectator
had labeled as a safety. In the seventh
he also knocked down a line hit by V.
Soltau which was ticketed for two
bases and would have meant a run.
Barry cleverly accepted two hard
running chances in left; Young field
ed his five chances without skip,
while Bradley and Schwartz divided
10 putouts between themselves in big
league fashion.
But the big chit" with the fans was
that the Regulars have seemingly
found their batting eyes. Stable, who
was on the hill for Brooten, is a St.
Paul professional hired by Brooten for
the season, with a splendid assortment
Of puzzling curves, a good fast ball
and deceiving change of pace.
However, the Regulars took kindly
to everything he had to offer and
touched him up for eight bingles. JAG
OLSON, Barry and Schwartz each gar
nered brace Of singles while Bradley
was the only member of either team
to clout for an extra base.
Brooten played rafting good ball
but could not solve Young's shoots
and were quickly stopped whenever
they got on by the fast fielding of the
Regulars. Young whitfield twelve at the
plate, allowed only five hits and gave
three free trips to first, none of which
| got him into trouble.
The Regulars started the score-get.

April Ia, 1865-but late frost had
set in that night and it was raw and
cold. Mr.. Lincoln felt the chill and
drew the shawl around him.
The first scene in "The Birth of a
Nation" showing the War President is
of Lincoln signing the call for $4,000
volunteers. Around him are his Cab
met heads and private secretaries.
Lincoln fully realized the momentous
character of the act that summed
Federal troops to subdue the individ-
ual sovereignty of rebellious States.
After the deed was done and the at
tending company departed, he slowly
buried his face in his hands as if in
prayer.
Another view of Lincoln's character
is exhibited in his granting of a par
don. AS this scene opens, the gor-
geously uniformed diplomatic repre-
sentatives are being received by the
President. They then depart and he
turns to plain middle-aged woman
dressed in sombre black who had been
waiting a hearing. She tries to kneel
to him, but he gently raises her up
and talks to her, reads her petition
and signs the paper granting to her
the life of her son.
After the Appomattox surrender
the Leader of Congress calls with a
proposal to deal harshly with the
South for it's rebellion. ct shall treat

or three days later, comes the awful

lac act. That great and terrible scene
is reproduced in the play to the min
utest historical detail. Mr.. Henabery,
the portrayer of the great President,
has been widely commended for the
sincerity, dignity and pathos of his
characterization.

keep pigs in small pens and feed then
grain and slops. This method is un
desirable for several reasons; first, i
is an expensive method of keeping
hogs both in labor and in feed; sec
ond, it does not provide the exercise
necessary for the best development Of
growing pigs or breeding stock and
lastly, it is difficult to find any feed Sc
well adapted to the growing pig as
good clover or alfalfa pasture supple
mented with skim milk or slop thick
ened with shorts.
Pasture furnishes the cheapest feed
on the farm, as we'll as one of the best
kinds Of feed. The earliest hog pas
ture we have is rye, which is usually
fit some time in April. In May, June
and July we have clover and alfalfa.
In August and later it may be sown
crop such as rape.
The Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station carried on some inter-
esting experiments a few years ago
to determine the value of alfalfa, clo-
yer and rape in pork production. They
found that one acre of alfalfa produc-
ked SOP pounds of pork, one acre of red
clover produced 56S pounds and one
acre of rape produced 1913 pounds.
Rape is a very good annual pasture
crop. The seed is cheap and it is fit
for pasture six to eight weeks after
sowing. About five to seven pounds
of seed are seeded broadcast or drill
ed. Sometimes oats at the rate of
about two pecks per acre are sown
with the rape. The hogs should not
be turned in until the rape is six to
eight inches high. An acre ought to
support Is to 20 hogs and supply pas
ture for IL to Is weeks. 1t is esti-
mated that an acre of good rape is
worth about $50 in feeding value.
Dwarf Essex rape is the variety to
use.
Rape, rye or peas furnish good an
nual pasture if for any reason one
does not have clover or alfalfa. Peas
and oats are sown at the rate of a
bushel of oats to one and one-half bu-
shell of Canada Field Peas. When sown
as early as the ground is ready it
makes good pasture in about six
weeks.
Mr.. Knapp of Mortified raises
about 70 to 80 pigs each year and has
them narrowed about the middle of
March, then puts them on timothy,
clover and rape pasture alternately
and feeds shorts with water and as
much skim milk as he can get. They
are fed at noon only. He also puts
in six to eight acres of Canada field
peas early in the spring. Two bushels
of peas and a peck of oats. The pigs
are turned in when the peas are well
ripened. The pigs grow well on this
ration but will not fatten, he says

WOMEN, TOO, ARE
 FOR PREPAREDNESS
By MRS. J. B. REID.

The men of Alabama and the United States are not alone in their interest in preparedness" The women under stand the subject and are discussing 1t on all sides.
 On Friday afternoon at meeting or the Pierian club at the home of Mrs. Sumter Lea of East Lake, President Will sons and Secretary Garrison's corre- spondence was the feature.
 The fact was brought out that there lives among the women a spirit of pa triotism and chivalry today inherited from the patriot of yesterday; that women are closely in touch with the events of war and the danger to peace; that they realize Americas predicament and profoundly appreciate the wisdom justice and discretion of the man at the helm-the President of the United States.
 They not only talked preparedness for and against the invasion of any foe at any time, but they are making home stronger by united effort Home-makins has become a business today, and women are treating the problem with more care than probably ever before.

SPECIAL RATES OFFERED

Washington, February 12-(Special) The Queen and Crescent route has issued proportional rates on classes which are expected to have a tendency to induce manufacturers to seek the sea for their exports through Mobile and New Or leans. The rates more nearly equalze the rates applicable to eastern port cities. It is said that this concession is of great value to the eastern and middle western manufacturer, for it is to his advantage that as many ports possible be open for the transportation of his goods.
 It is anticipated that this movement on the part of the railroad will stimu- late southern export trade through the various ports of the south.
