Picnics are large local gather
ings where, shortly after arriv-
ing, one begins to wonder what
he came for and what the
chances are going to be to sneak
away.
Picnics are promoted by a few
shrewd business men who offer
a number of candidates, the viii
lage band, and a girl in a white
dress as stellar attractions, but
who, in reality, are the allies of
the lemonade and ice cream
stands
There are those, however, who
really do enjoy picnics. There
are the. real old men and women,
and the boys and girls of the-ro-
mantle age. The elderly men
and women delight in sitting on
the benches and hearing the or.
ator crate on the wonderful
country we are living in and how
they need only send such men
as the speaker to congress OF
the state legislature to assure
themselves of laws that will
guard and protect their future
welfare.
And, while papa and mamma
and grandpa and grandma are
absorbing this valuable informa.
ton, the young folks are out in
the buggies drinking lemonade.

FEEDING OF RUSTED STRAW

The feeding value Of rusted
wheat in the straw is mighty
variable and depends almost en-
tirely upon the amount of grain
in wheat heads. Healthy wheat
straw is poor feed and badly
rusted wheat straw, on the aver
age, is no better and in many
instances, not as .good as bright
straw. Wheat straw that is
very badly rusted seems to have
very little substance in it and
stock do not commonly find it
palatable. Shrunken wheat is
good feed and the plumper the
berry, the greater the feeding
value. 10 decide the feeding
value is a matter of estimating
the quantity of wheat grain q
given lot Of straw contains. The
wheat grains may be so thin that
they have little feeding value.
They may be equal to bran and
shorts, or they may be still more
plump and represent a greater
feeding value.
Look at the quantity of grain
the straw carries, estimate what
that will weigh out and you will
very nearly have the feeding val.
ue of your rusted wheat crop.
The shrunken wheat kernels
in rusted straw stick pretty
tight in the chaff and on that &C.
count cattle will be forced to
chew them pretty we'll so that
the feeding value ought to be
reasonably we'll utilized.
SO much rusted straw has
been fed in past years when
rust scourges occurred and no
serious effects have resulted
from it that it would seem that
there is little risk in feeding it
to livestock.
The veterinarians have record
ed a few cases of sickness or
disease in the history of their
experience which they think
have been caused by animals
eating an excessive amount of
grain rust. They generally ad
wise that a little of some other
roughage be fed to live stock
that are getting rusted straw.
They also suggest that stock be
changed gradually to a ration of
rusted wheat when you begin
feeding it and that the dust be
shaken from the rusted straw as
much as possible in handling it
before it is fed to stock. Thew
suggest further that a close
watch be kept Of the animals and
changes be made to some other
feed if sickness occurs that does
not come from some other cause.

And scrtched out both his eyes
But when he heard that women'>

We're showing limbs so plain,
lie jumped into another patch
And scratched them in again.
