PITY NOT CALLED FOR
WRITER POINTS OUT SOME OF
THE JOYS OF THE POOR.
BY No Means the Unfortunate Class
Generally Deplcted-SimpIe Feasts
That Leave Lasting impress
sion Of Real Joy.

The happiest people in the world are
the poor. Without attempting to stife
the ambition for self-advancement, re-
ligion has always taught men to be
content with their lot and shown the
folly of relying upon possession as the
key to happiness, writer in Leslie's
observes. Our materialistic day has
worshiped financial success, and by
hearing this doctrine constantly
preached those who are poor have been
made to feel themselves unfortunate
and condemned to miss the great joys
of life.
Mrs. Kathleen Norris, author Of
Mother" The Rich Mrs. Burgoyne"
and Saturdays Child" says that too
many writer's have been telling US
about the sorrows of the poor as
though ignorant of the fact that the
poor family is often healthier and hap.
pier in every way than the rich FAM
lily. 1--WE need writer's" says Mrs. Nor
ris, who will be aware of the pleas
ures to be derived from good dinner
of corned beef and cabbage and a
visit to a moving picture theater.
Often when pass row of mean
houses, as they would be called,
think gratefully Of the good times
that l have had in just such places"
Who is there who has come up from
childhood and youth Of comparative
poverty who doesn't have the same
memory of the joys of those days?
The simplest feasts are always the
best, and holidays and outings which
come but seldom are far more to be
priced than that seemingly happier
state when every day is a holiday that
brings feast. Mrs. Norris speaks of
her appreciation Of Dickens because
he understood SO well the joys of the
poor. Their life was not one long
story of despair, but he gave them
roast goose and plum pudding for
their Christmas dinner-he gave them
faith and hope and love-"
II more of our modern novelists
would write Of the joys Of the poor
mans household there would be less
of the spirit of discomfort in the minds
of the people, and of unreasonable
envy Of those who happen to have
more of this worlds goods and there
would be more of the real spirit Of
the holiday season.

VALUE OF POTATOES
AS FEED FOR SWINE
When Prices Are Low Surplus Tu.
bers May Be Be Used to =, Advan-
tage When Cooked.
From Weekly News Letter United
States Department Of .Agrlcultnral

(From Weekly News Letter. United
States Department Of Agriculture.)
Because Of the surplus of white OF
Irish potatoes now on the market and
the consequent low prices, many farm.
ers have been seeking information as
to the possibility of feeding them to
hogs.
Many experiments have been con.
Quoted in Germany and other foreign
countries as well as few in the Unit.
ed States to determine the value OF
potatoes as feed for swine. In Ireland
and Germany farmers feed large guam
titles Of potatoes annually. From ex
perimental data 1t has been concluded
that 4 to Az bushels of potatoes
when cooked are equal to about one
bushel OF corn for putting gains on
hogs. Therefore, Il corn Is worth SO
cents a bushel potatoes whe7 fed to
hogs would be Worth only iS to 20
cents bushel. There may, however,
be instances where 1t would he more
advantageous for the farmer tn feed tc
hogs right on his own place at least
part of his crop rather than to haul
these potatoes to an already overload.
ed market.
According to the consensus Of opin.
ion potatoes are fed to the hest ad.
vantage when cooked or steamed and
mixed with, other feeds. Experiments
in which raw potatoes we're fed alone
have been reported. In certain in.
stances the raw potatoes are saiJ to
have caused scours. However, raw TO.
! tatoes in small quantities and in r
diet lacking succulence may be condn.
Give to health in pigs.
In cooking potatoes only enough
water should be used to make a mealy
mash and prevent burning. The re
sultant meal should then be mixed
with cornmeal or other grain supple
ment. Tankage, skim milk or meat
meal would probably add to the profit
of the mixture. Potatoes when pro
pared in the manner described and uIr
der the conditions mentioned can often
! be fed to pigs with advantage.
