Scouts Aid at Alabama State Fair.
A BADGE OF HONOR.

One of the first things a boy scout
must learn is the significance of the
scout badge, and in compliance with
tls requirement he learns that the
trefoil refers to the three points in the
scout oath; that the scroll with up.
turned ends suggests smile, for "a
scout is cheerful, and the knot is to
remind the boy to do "a good turn
daily
This satisfies the requirements OF
the test, but it is in fact only "a small
part of the significance of the scout
badge. 1t is possible that when the
first scout wore the first badge 1t meant
not much more than Is stated in the
handbook. but with every year. as the
movement builds up history and tradi.
tons and record of things accom-.
plished, the significance of the scout
badge grows.
Today the boy who goes to strange
place wearing scout badge will not
depend on chance in selecting his CON-
panionS. The scout badge and certi.
hcateS give an entree to the compan-
ionship of scouts; in other words, II
leads To the companionship of boys
who are trustworthy and loyal, who
are courteous and clean and reverent
the type of boy with whom any par
ent Is glad to have his boy associated.

PLAN FOR FATTENlNG HORSES
Boiled Barley Not Necessary, as II
Can Be Done With Oats and
Bran-Best to Use Hay.

II is not necessary to feed boiled
barley to horses In order to make
them fat, because the fattening could
be done with oats and bran, with pos
sibly the addition of a little flaxseed,
as recommended for the mares. In
fact, the same method of feeding as
was recommended for the mares would
answer very well for this purpose, but
Ii would be necessary to feed grain
more literally. and it would be better
