OFF ON PULPIT TOUR

In six months Charlie was as inno- cent of cash as returned tourist. And he didn't feel at all well. He decided to become preacher. At this he made an unprecedented hit.

Meyer, and it is said he collected more money and created more enthusiasm than any minor league cir cult preached before or since.

CHARLIE SCATTERED RICHES

Mabel from Dutch Pa.) and I like Charlie best as he is now. But there was time when, being more the sturdy young sapling than he suggests today. Cupid marked him for his own. To be blunt, Charlie married when he was 19 a society girl of Abilene" But the stream of true love, striking the substan- tial obstacle of Charlie, began to churn, and Cupid got swamped in the rapids.
 After that" says MT. Meyer, T wasn't much good except to ride a horse, raise hell and drink booze"
 When l protested that this wild life was not reflected in his clean, ruddy complexion and clear eye, Professor Meyer explained that he had not touched a drop of alcoholic refreshment for 15 years. Unlike many an heir to riches. the professor was cured of his naughty ways by inheriting s12.000
 I had been suspecting all along that most of Charities S27 pounds was heart. So I was not astonished to learn that as proceeded to spend 1t on his Texan friends.
 There wasn't an old woman for TOO miles around Abilene who didn't get a complete new outfit from Sunday bon nets to winter coal. Every man who needed his house painted or a new kitchen stove, or COW, or horse and wagon, or a suit of store clothes, or an extra mule, or a prospecting outfit, or a saddle, or a doll for his baby, got what he wanted from Clarifies windfall.
 Incidentally the county became so wet" that the sheriff had to hire new deputies and the jail cracked under the strain.

KEEP CLOSE TRACK OF HOGS
Make Sure That Animals Are Not At
fiicted With Llee-oilers Are
Quite Common. j

1t Is well to keep close track Of the
hogs and make sure that they are not
afflicted with lice. Lice are blood
sucking parasites. They lower the Vi
tally of hogs, not only by sucking the
blood but by continual irritation which
gives the hog no rest. When hogs
have many lice they will not do well
and will lose flesh, becoming much
weakened in condition and thus more
susceptible to disease.
There are various methods Of get
ting rid of lice. Hog oilers are quite
common, though the crude oil which
is used in them may be applied to the
hog directly with brush. The hogs
may be dipped two or three times at
intervals of about ten days, using some
reliable coal-tar dip or disinfectant.
This gives good results.

GRAIN RATION FOR LAMBS
Young Animal Just Beginning to Eat
Should Be Given Corn, Oats, Oil
Meal and Bran.

A good grain ration for lambs just
beginning to eat is ground corn, L
part; crushed oats, 1 part; linseed
oil meal, 1 part; and wheat bran, 2
parts. Wheat bran is very essential
in this ration, and the shepherd should
always see that it is present. A grain
ration consisting of pounds of wheat
bran, 1 pound of oats (crushed oats be-
ing preferred), L pound Of finely
ground cornmeal, and one-half pound
of oil meal has proved to be an excel
lent grain ration for young lambs. 1t
has also been found that a grain mix
ture of OIL meal and cornmeal has CIV
en- better results than a mixture OF
cottonseed meal and cornmeal.
