Holmes says that there are six peo-

he sees himself, B as he sees himself,
4 as B sees him and B as A sees him.
The remark comes back when one
goes out upon the street and considers
himself and the other people who pass,
particularly those who seem on the
slippery road to success. 1t is not they
themselves who go by; 1t is what they
would have other people think them.

Laundry Lines.

Be sure to iron garments with the
straight of the goods and thus prevent
stretching of the bias seams.
It Is best to give linens long soak
ing before washing. If this method
is followed stains will wash out easily.
To remove ink spots from linen or
cotton, dip the spots in pure melted
tallow. Wash out the tallow and the
ink will come out with it.
Do not stretch the round centerpiece
on the bias before ironing, but treat
1t as though it were square. Stretch
first with the warp. then with the wool
Of the material and iron in the same
way. The result will be a perfectly
smooth, round surface.

YOUNG LAMBS LIKE

Rapid GroWth-Satisfastory
Ration Is Given.

If creeps are provided where the
lambs can be fed grain away from
their mothers it will aid materially
in their rapid growth 1t Is surpris-
ing how early they will learn to like
grain. by the time they are tyo weeks
old they will always be around at
feeding time. A place 10 by 10 feet
will lie room enough for SO to 40
lambs. In this Is placed n trough IA
to 1G Inches wide and . to inches
deep in which they are fed twice a
day. 1t Is worth while to be punctual
in the feeding. No stale grain should
be left in these troughs. Clean them
out. A satisfactory ration will be
found to be one made of two parts
cornmeal, one part bran and one part
oilmeal. Lambs like oats, too. Some
sheepmen prefer to fit up the en-
frances to the creeps with two rollers
held in place by springs. Tnis is
good way TO take care of lambs of diff
ferent sizes and the rollers prevent
tearing the wool.

Buffalo Pasture

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The gradual but steady decline in
the carrying capacity of native pas
lures presents a serious problem for
the livestock industry. The aver
age carrying capacity of the 100000
900 acres of public lands outside of
l. the national forests. which are practi-
caIly all used for grazing purposes, is
today estimated ut % per cent less
than what it once was. The privately
owned pastures show the same de-
cline. On the other hand, the carrying
capacity of much of the unfenced
grazing lands within the national for
ests has been increased In recent
years by the adoption of what is
known as deferred grazing.
This system is explained in an art-
Gle in the new Yearbook of the de-
partment of agriculture, Improve
ment and Management of Native Pas
lures in the West" This article gives
as the causes of pasture deterioration
overstocking and premature grazing.
1t has been the general belief that If
stock came Off the range in satisfac-
stocked. In the majority of cases.
however, this Is not true. Animals
which are allowed to Craze the green
feed of the choice forage plants near
ly as fast MS 1t grows may for the
time being get enough to eat, but to
rob the plants continuously of this
forage robs them also of their labora-
tory for manufacturing plant food, and
they are gradually starved out of ex-
istence. In the course of five years or
so, the better forage plants are gradu-
ally reduced and their places taken by
less desirable grasses md weeds. The
condition of the stock, therefore, is not
in itself n safe way to judge whether
range is overstocked or not.
Premature grazing is injurious not
only because the vegetation when soft.
is badly damaged by trampling, but be-
cause the plants are not allowed to
mature their seed. In practice. some
part of the range must be grazed
early In the year. When deferred graz.
ing is adopted, however, n part of the
range is set aside and the seed al
lowed to mature before the plants are
grazed.
Deferred grazing was first practiced
by the forest service of the United
States department of agriculture in
studies on the depleted ranges of an
area in northwestern Oregon. An area
with One-fourth the carrying capacity
required for band of sheep for an
entire season was protected against
grazing until the important plants on
hnI {nt, { 3
was heavily grazed. This caused the
sheep to aid in planting the seed by
trampling 1t into the ground. The fol-
lowing year the same area was again
protected until after seed maturity and

FARMER ARGUES FOR
CALVES IN AUTUMN
Every Condition Is Better for Dali
ryman Then-Youly Animals
Get Better Start.

Here are some arguments that
thoughtful farmer puts up for having
the cows freshen In the fall instead of
spring:
THE fall calf usually gets better
start in the world than the one that
arrives in the spring. The farmer
will have more time to take care of
the calves in winter than summer;
the fall pastures are coming on, fur
nishing the COW an abundance CT good
green stuff that produces large milk
how. The fall pastures are more nour-
ishing than the spring grasses, owing
TO the fact that they do not contain SO
much water. There are no flies or
heat to bother either the COW or calf.
and If dropped early enough the calf
win get good start md learn to eat
well before cold weather sets in.
milk products are much easier
taken care of In winter than summer
and milk and butter prices are at
their best at this time"

LIBERAL WITH LITTLE PIGS
Profitable to Feed Young Animals as
Much as PossibIc-Give Sow
MiIk-Producing Feed.

1t pays to feed the young pig us
much as possible, both through the
mother and later directly from the
trough. Never again will he make
such rapid and cheap gains and 1t pays
to keep him growing as rapidly as pos
sible while young. To this end the
sow should be given all the good. milk
producing feed she will eat. When the
pigs are about month old they will
begin to need something in addition
to the mothers milk. even though she
is well fed.
