grain which may be fed at such times
that the COWS will not disturb the
calves.
The calves may be started on a
mixture of two parts OF shelled corn
to one part of oats by weight. The
oats may be gradually reduced until
none Is being fed at the end of eight
weeks, but while this is being done
little old process linseed oil meal or
cotton seed meal should be added
and the quantity gradually in
creased until it makes up about sew
enth of the weight of the ration. On
full feed calves should eat about two
pounds of grain for every hundred
pounds of live weight in addition to
good roughage. Well-bred calves ham
died in this way should be in prime
condition at the end of about 10 or IL
months.

CHEAPEST GAINS ON PASTURE
Result of Trials Conducted at North
Dakota Station-Animals Need
Some Grain.

Pigs make the cheapest gains on
pasture. Trials at the North Dakota
experiment station indicate that brood
sows running on good pasture and
nursing filters will do as well when
receiving one to 14 pounds OF grain
per each 100 pounds live weight OF
SOW, as sows in dry lot receiving 2@
pounds grain per day per each 100
pounds live weight. The pasture just
about cut the feed cost in two. The
pasture alone does not furnish enough
feed for either the brood SOW with
litter or for the weaned pigs. They
should be fed some grain, so as to
make rapid growth. In this way the
spring pig can be ready for market
before real cold weather sets in.
Alfalfa, clover, bromus and winter
rye make the earliest pastures. When
these have not been provided early
spring seeding of such grains as oats
and barley or rape are the next best
thing.

Heads and tales"

When the dynamite trial was held
In this city, the name Of Charles Mil
Ter became a household word. In one
small Indiana town the children of a
certain family who knew the attorney
were fond of acting out Bible scenes.
The two elder sisters had decided on
the story of John the Baptist, and
asked little John to take the part of
the Bible hero. John was from Mis-
souri, and had to be shown. After care
fully explaining the Importance of his
part to him, and the mighty character
whom he was to impersonate, John
looked up in disgust, and drawled:

In the face of the steady inpouring

Provide Creep In Pasture So That

The old world thronging all its streets,
Unwilling all the triumphs won

And unto common good ordain
This rivalship of hand and brain.

The war flags of a gathered world,
Beneath our western skies fulfill
The Orient's mission of good will,
And freighted with loves golden fleece,
Send back its argonauts of peace.
For art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank thee; but withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought nor sold.

In peace secure, in justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of thy righteous law;
And cast in some diviner mold,
Let the new cycle shame the old.

HAD TO WAIT
FORTY DAYS
Long Time Before
England Got News
of the Battle of
Lexington

vt SEEMS strange in these days
when news of the battles in far
awav Europe is cabled to America
Il within few minutes after they oc-
cur-when flying machines equipped
with machine guns are fighting each
other in the clouds-when advocates
of preparedness are arguing that the
ocean is no barrier to foreign foe
because of the swiftness of their
steam cruisers-to bark back to the
battle of Lexington, April 10, 1775,
and try to realize the length of time it
required for the news of that conflict
to reach England.
There were no telegraph wires, no
telephone, no dispatch boats or "spe-
cial correspondents" with each regi-
ment. A steam vessel had not then
been dreamed of. There were no
cables, no flying machines, no machine
guns. Only sailing vessels, of small
size, were available to cross the ocean,
and as a consequence it took long,
long time for the shot to be heard
around the world"
Dependent on Sailing Ships.
Journalism in America was then
in its swaddling clothes. The race of
the enterprising journalist to outfoot
f1eet-footed Time had not then begun.
There was not the intense rivalry of
today between metropolitan papers,
with their specials and war extras-to
say nothing of baseball extras. There
was, too, a similar lack of activity on
the part of editors in London.
The newspapers in Boston and 9TH
er nearby towns at that time were
published weekly, usually on Monday.
News of sanguinary events, if they
occurred during the week, was neces-
sarily held for publication until the
following Monday. 1t was not sur
prising, therefore, that the news of
the battles of Lexington and Concord
was not printed in Boston until April
25-for the idea of issuing an extra"
in such emergencies was not then in
vogue.
In the Essex Gazette.
The Essex Gazette, published at
Salem, had by far the best report of
the events of the day, with an almost
complete list of the killed and wound
ed. The news of this first encounter
between the provincials and his males

CHARITIES KEEP
WITHIN BUDGET

That the Associated Charities will
close it's fiscal year within its budget,
and that the annual meeting and eelc-
ton of officers will be held on Thurs
day night, October 5, was the an
nouncement made last night, after a
meeting of the board of directors of
the organization in the charities quar-
ters in the We'll building in West Bar
raque street.
The financial report made to the
board last night showed a small
amount of cash on hand, and it was
demonstrated that the fiscal year will
close with the charities just within
the funds raised during the year. This
was considered exceptionally crafty
ing, especially because of the unusual
heavy demands upon the organization
during the year.
Every person who contributed to the
charities during the year will receive
a personal letter and invitation to at
tend the annual meeting, and it is
planned by the officers and the board
to have a very large attendance, not

Removing Dents From Furniture.

When wood is badly dented or
scratched, it is often problem to
know how to get rid Of the marks.
This is quite easy If the following
plan is adopted: First of all, fold
piece of blotting paper at least four
times; then saturate with water,
finally allowing the snperfluous mois-
ture to drip away. Now heat a fiat
iron until it is about the warmth re-
quired for laundry work. Place the
damp blotting paper over the dent and
press firmly with the iron. AS soon
as the paper dries examine the mark.
It will then be found that the cavity
has filed up to surprising extent.
Where the dent is very deep a second,
or even "a third, application on the
lines indicated might be tried. Sooner
or later even serious depressions can
be drawn up, and most people who
have not tried this plan will be sur
prised at the result Of the treatment
