fire very carefully and sparsely. l nave
had nv winter coal ordered for two
months and better. My dealer is re-
liable person. and says ! shall have my
coal as soon as he can get il. This STU
atom appeaIs to me with striking force.
If I am so straitened for fuel, how Will
those persons get along who work for
DAVIS wages, and when the weather IS
cannot work out of doors al
all? When there is no work there VIII
be no pay.
There is great scarcity of farm labor.
If the field crops are not gathered pc
fore winter rains become frequent the
scarcity of food products will force 1000
prices much higher. 1t is long spell
until other food crops will be sown or
nIanted. and still longer spell until
such crops will supplement the amount
which is now in danger of damage ana
loss.
If il should transpire that we shali
have a very cold and disagreeaole WIN

In my childhood. when I can first rec
olIect nearly every rural nome mao
loom. a spinning. wheel and a reel Tor
the making of cloth at home Nearly
every large family had "warping bars
but neighbors would loan the use Oh
them to those who did not nave then'
SpooIs were made of sound, smooth
corn-cobs. and the small ones, which
were used in the shuttles, were called
"ouius." and were made of small canes
that grew in the swampy lands. There
were also "sIeys" and harnesses In
the loom outfit. All the aged readers
of The Semi-weekly will recognize what
/ have here written as a loom OUTFIT.
During the Civil war the spinning
and weaving went on necessarily. In
large measure the soldiers at the 'front.'
were supplied with clothing from home
and this clothing had to be manufac-
tured at home. The thread that made
the "flIing" was spun and prepared for
the warp almost altogether at home.
The rural homes were dependent on
the loom for coverlids-very few blan-
kets were bought before the war and
none whatever while the war was on in
the fateful SOS.
The necessity for domestic manufac-
ture of cloth is again upon us. The
new looms are much easier to work
than the old style loom with cumber-
some treadles. The work is done by
springs. and saves the strain formerly
endured by the weaver's hips and mus
cles
If I could put back twenty years on
my life / certainly would own a loom
of the revised pattern. Mrs. Wilmer L.
Moore, of Atlanta, has one in her luxu-
rious home. and she has accomplished
some excellent domestic goods in the
use of it.
The weaving Of rugs is one OF the
excellent things that could be manufac-
tured. and would add much to the COM
fort and adornment of rural homes
Loom work is good. substantial work
that would be useful and likewise or

You cannot secure a better formula
for feeding to hogs than to mix equal
parts of corn meal and shorts together
and then feed as a relatively thin slop.
The reduction of the corn meal anc
shorts to the sloppy condition mention
ed may be accomplished through the
use of kitchen slop provided 1t Is free
from soap powders or broken glass or
dishes, or better still, through the use
of skim-milk.
For dairy COWS equal parts of corn
meal and cottonseed meal make an ex-
cellent ration. If you prefer you can
substitute velvet beans for the cotton
seed meal, though we think the cotton
seed meal will provide digestible nu-
trients at a less cost than velvet beans
at tn eprices quoted in your letter.
For horses and mules you may pre-
pare a good ration by mixing together
velvet beans and corn meal in equal
parts.
dairy COW should receive about
one to one and a half pounds of grain
per 1000 pounds of live weight. Much
depends on the flow of milk. L am
speaking now of feeding cow which
will give two gallons of milk.
Horses and mules should receive
mixture as indicated above together
with IL 10 is pounds of grain per 900
pounds of live weight when perform
ing hard work. If doing light worn
you can reduce the gals ration to II
pounds. When standing in the stable
such animals do not need over pouncs.
1t is contemplated that when feed
ing dairy cows one should provide
suitable roughage ration of peaVine nay
or peavine hay and shredded stover and
fodder mixed together.
Horses and mules should be fed clean,
bright hay free from dust and moulds
in such quantities as they can eat up
readily. This will probably be from IL
to IL pounds per day.

There is no reason in so far as L
know why velvet beans should cause a
cow to dry UP. We have not fed them
extensively by themselves and therefore
cannot answer this question with as
much definiteness as you might desire.
We do know, however, that they have
been fed in considerable quantities
along with other grain and have given
good results. The velvet bean contains
more digestible protein than wheat bran
and a fair amount of fat 1t is true
that it contains a considerable amount
of carbohydrates which produce heat
and energy. On that account, it might
have a tendency to cause cows to fat
ten at the expense of milk flow. We
believe it Is perfectly safe and feasible
practice to feed velvet bean meal along
with corn and cob meal, wheat bran.
shorts or even a moderate amount of
cottonseed meal.
OF course. in feeding a dairy cow you
should remember that the supplemental
ration used in the form of roughage will
have much to do with the amount Of
milk obtained. An abundance of succu-
lent feed should be provided for your
COW at all seasons of the year. An ILL
balanced ration may also cause COW
to dry up. These things should be
kept in mind when judging of the mer-
it's of velvet beans.

As of Eden pleasing fair.
Shadows oft obscure the cleaning.
Perfect joys of Earth are rare!

Cautious lest thy lovers leave thee
Only broken vows to know.
Live for Heaven!
Life has many pleasant treasures;
Seek them-use them but with prayer;
Let God give them in His measures.
Trust a heavenly Fathers care!
Live for Heaven.
In YOUR Bible seek direction.

Home and Heaven shall find above!

horses and mules ourselves, however.
we would prefer to grind together
equal parts of velvet beans and corn
and cob meal, and feed at the rate of
IL to IA pounds, depending on the ma
ture of the work performed. Feed
along with this combination, as much
clean bright peavine hay and other
roughages as the horses and mules
will eat up. Peavine hay fed exciu-
sively to horses and mules constitutes
a dangerous ration as you see it is
likely to surfeit the system with nitro
genous matter and thereby produce
azotura. 1t would be better to feed
not over 8 pounds of peavine hay alonS
with some pulled fodder and mixed
hay. Shredded corn slower could of
course be used for this purpose if 1t
is free from dust In the event that it
is not free from dust 1t should be
lightly sprinkled with water to which
little salt has been added and fed
in a damp condition. Sheaf oats can
be fed direct without grinding. Only
limited amount of lintless hulls can
Re fed to horses and mules with ad-
vantage. While the mixed ration as
indicated above can be fed in its nat
ural condition. The same is true In
the feeding of cattle. Illuminating ami
mails are so constituted that they can
utilize long fodder to advantage. For
dairy cows you can not secure a bet
ter ration than a mixture of one-third
corn and cob meal and two-thirds cot
tonseed meal, or you may feed equal
parts of corn and cob meal and velvet
beans. For fattening purposes, as
would be true in the case of beef cat
tie, we would feed corn and cob meal
and cottonseed meal in equal parts.
Young cattle which are growing should
receive about the same ration as dairy
cows on account of their greater re-
quirement of protein.

PERMANENT FUND FOR BAND
Commercial Club Creates Permanent
Fund to be Used for Benefit of
the New Band

The band committee recently APP
pointed from the Commercial club,
composed of Clement j. Welch. Chas.
BOllen and L. NJ. Powers, has been
busy the past day or SO raising a fund
that will be known as a "Permanent
Band" fund to be used for band pur
poses only, and the committee has
met with good success, the business
men coming across handsomely with
their donations. The fund guaranteed
by the club was to be the sum of $500.
and out of this sum d director was to
be paid. Later on the band gave a
fair that netted in the neighborhOOd
of $3.50 and this amount was applied
on the purchase price of new uniforms.
In the past month it has been Hcces-
sary to purchase two new instruments
at cost of $3.50. The three banks of
the city agreed to pay for the new in-
struments, providing the business men
Of the town would donate $3.50, thus
making the fund $500. The money has
now been raised within few dollars,
and the band is assured of enough
money to run the organization for
some time. Mr.. Barborka is giving of
his time and ability and is taking
great pains to make the organization
worthy one, and his efforts are prov
ing successful.

day at Auction, Tate e. Mclaughlin
Auctioneers-Fair Crowds

Last Saturday afternoon two resi-
Dental properties were sold at auc-
tion in Denison. Recently L. S. Bab
cock, of Mimi, traded for the two pro-
perties and as lie is nonresident,
decided to make quick sale of the
property and arrangements with Coils.
Tate & McLoughlin,' real estate auc-
tioneers of Manning, to come to Den
isOn and sell the property at auction.
The Dave McAllister property To-
Gated two blocks east of the Illinois
Central depot was the first property
sold. There were not many at the
sale, but the first bid was 5000, it was
soon sold to }. w. Miller
The other property was the A. NJ.
Justice property which was traded to
Mr.. Babcock ON a farm. There was
better attendance at this sale. This
nice home, which -was cnlys~r recently
built, and is located two blocks south
of the high school, received as q first
bid an even $4,000. In about fifteen
minutes afterwards. Mrs. A. M. JUS
tice purchased it for $4,000.
During conversation with Coils.
Tate and Mclaughlin they informed
US that this week they will sell a
farm every day at auction. Last week
they were also very busy. They sold
last Friday the 100 acre farm owned
by Messrs. p A. Martens, DR.. c. B.
Miller and E. F. Babcock to Jake
Carscn for 1925. The gentlemen had
owned the property only six weeks
and realized $25 per acre profit in
the same. The farm is located two
miles east of Aspnwall and known
as the Hans Griebel farm.
The Aspinwall brick building. used
as a dance hall, was sold to VIM. .]ep-
sen of Bloomfield, Nebr.. for $4,000.
A young man living near the town
of Glidden bought the 2l3 acre farm
located 7A miles southwest of Glid-
den. paying $2l5 for the same.
These auctioncers make a specially
of selling farms and town property
at auction. and have been very sue
cesSful at it for several years. No
doubt you have seen many of their
sales advertised in this newspaper.
They say they like to advertise in The
Review, because its large circulation
brings results.
