The Bad Pussy-cat.

The Bad Pussy-cat.
The pussy-cat said,
AS she lifted her head,
And gracefully raised her paw,
Dear Robin, I've heard
You're the sweetest bird
That ever a mortal saw"
Don't flauter me so,--
It's wrong you KNOW
Tho others have said the same
Then the quick blood rushed,
And she blushed and blushed
Clear down to her bosom of flame.
But, you see,' said Kitty,
Its such a pity
To waste your charms on the air;
l VOW it's shame
For so rare a dame
To pine in seclusion there"
Then pussy-cat smiled,
And Robin, beguiled
By her gay and treacherous laugh
ter,
Alighted at once
On the ground, like Ounce,
And never was heard of after.

WHAT CORN WILL NOT DO

October 26th-There are many
people who think that one of the most
wonderful of all plants is Indian corn.
Indeed you may be one of them; but
whether you are or not, we shall
probably agree that the Corn Belt at
least, it is one of the greatest of all
sources of wealth.
In many respects, both visible, it
differs from all other plants. One
OF these points of difference, which
our eyes can not discern, comes out
when the grain is set on fire and
burned. There is very little ash
produced. The ashes from hundred
pounds of corn for example, would
weigh only twenty-four onces, while
those from hundred pounds of bar
ley would weigh forty-three ounces
and those from the same amount of
oats would weigh fifty-six ounces.
This seems. of course, to be mat
ter of little consequence. Can you
see any connection between it and
the incident narrated below?
An Iowa farmer three or four
years ago became much worried be-
cause his pigs did not thrive. For
time they grew very slowly and they
then seemed to stop growing altoget-
|
numerous in his herd; and most of
those which were not actually runts,
were plainly stunted Then strange
symptoms began to appear. The pigs
spent most of the time lying down,
and would squeal when made to get
up. When they walked, they were
stiff and lame. Frequently one would
be seen kneeling on it's front legs.
They developed strange and abnormal
appetites, eating dirt, gnawing the
fence posts, and even drinking man
ure water, but not seeming to care
much for corn. Then the points of
some began SWOLLEN. When the
animals got UP they would have to
cough and sniff to clear out their
noses and Threats. A number of them
became frightfully bowlegged. Some
showed other deformities, the head
of one becoming so very large that
with its small body it looked like
some strange and unheard of species
OF animal.
While not all of the pigs showed
these symptoms, all We're plainly in
poor condition and growing worse.
So the farmer called a veterinarian.
What do you suppose the veter-
marian said to him?
These pigs are not running on
pasture. l take it," said he, that
they are getting only corn and water"
The farmer replied that he gave
them little slop occasionally
What are you trying to do?" de-
manded the veterinarian. Are you
trying to raise new kind of homeless
pig? These animals have ricketts,.
Give them wood ashes, or charcoal.
or limestone, or bone meal. or any
thing containing minerals to make
bone. Corn won't do it. What is the
use of feeding pigs if you won't let
their skeletons grow"
The man did as he was advised and
most of his pigs got we'll; but he had
to pay fee to find out that the
amount of ash, or mineral in corn is
so small that is very poor bone-mak-
| ing food.

Many of the birds retire to the
woods when their young are we'll

dance of ripening berries and weed
seeds. They are much more shy af-
ter the nesting season is over.
Song sparrows, shipping sparrows
and field sparrows go South i'm the
lat part OF October. Grasshopper
sparrows, wrens, catbirds, brown
thrashers have been gone two or
three weeks
The snow covered up the weed
seeds for few hours last week,
and as there are not many insects
now, our feeding shelf had many
visitors. About the middle of the
forenoon we counted II birds there
at one time.

have prepared places to feed the
birds this winter when ice and
snow cover their food A shelf OF

tree where squirrels and cats can

Many birds which go South would
stay with us if provided with food

evergreen trees they seek shell

these are lacking it is necessary
to prepare places for shelter if we
would keep them with us.

Our little Rosy Posy
Had been very often told,
That she must not get UP early
When the room was dark and
cold.
But once she CHANGED to waken
u When she thought it must be day
And she had the greatest longing
To get out of bed and play.
She peeped at her big sister,
Right beside her in the bed,
And sister slept so soundly
That Miss Rosy Posy said:
"IM creep along so softly,
Oh, SO softly ON each toe,
That perhaps I'll never wake her,
And perhaps she'll never know"
So naughty Rosy Posy
Stole quite slowly cross the floor
But she started back in terror
Before she reached the door

While there was little indication,

treme irritation over what he regards
improper propaganda activities OF
the German embassy.
State Department officials explained
today probabls causes of what Off
cals now regard as "Germany's blum

sisting that the administration has
not changed its position regarding
legal right of ships to carry defensive

from the American note to the Allies
suggesting disarmament Of merchant
vessels Officials declare Germany
went too far in constituting this gov

II is stated that in this move the
United States while inclined to favor
the German view, could act only

with the Allies. in the interest Of hui

American note could not possibly be
