The VIII TO Act

Two words are. very significant in
life-situation and action. The sphere
in which a man is situated, or what
is called environment" will largely
determine what he is to be, but no
amount of situation" will of itself
preclpitate vigorous action of a noble
kind. Manly men are made by the
right sort of reaction against environ
ment. Whatever may be claimed for
heredity and association, a certain
amount of free play must be allowed
to the individual, who in his turn, by
strenuous and selective action, con-
tributes to the formation in future of
a new heredity. No progress in hui
man affairs would be at all possible
were life simply to the last factor a
recapitulation of previous lives. 1t is
part of our heritage as sons of God
that we can build upon the fathers
and yet be different from them-that
we can inherit the past and prede-
termine the future. 1t Is true that
some men are circumstantially stu
ated more favorably for success than
are others; but the man who has in
him the will to act, even though he be
a poor and physically weak Paul, will
in the end, in spite of beatings and
shipwrecks oft, win out among the
best.

True RELIGIOUS Achievement.

If the relentless drift is bearing
away some traditional and convention
al household gods" and ecclesiastical
sanctities, there is abundant compen-
satiOn in the unwilling of higher ideals,
the vitalizing of thought and charac-
ter, and in the dispersion of rubbish
which has almost hidden the Divine
lineaments of mans nature. Religious
advancement is seen in the increased
emphasis which is placed upon these
living realities about which men can
not differ.-Henry Wood.

OATS SUPERIOR FOR HORSES
Most Satisfactory Single Grain Ra-
tion-Musty Oats Are Dangerous
Feed Roughage.

In comparison with any of the grain
ratiOns, oats are the best single grain
ration for both mature horses and
colts and for mules. There is no other
grain so safe to feed and from which
such satisfactory results are OBJ
tanned. The live stock experts Of
Clemson college advise, however that
1t is absolutely necessary that oats be
clean and entirely free from mold in
order to obtain best results in feed
Ing to colts. "Musty'' oats are dam
gerous to colts.
A fair allowance of oats for colts
after weaving is as follows.
Up to one year of age, from 2 to 3
pounds daily.
From one to three years, z to 8
pounds daily.
The best way to feed oats is in the
whole grain, the expense of crushing
not being justified unless colts suffer
In teething, in which case it is advis-
able to feed steamed crushed oats,
which are very nourishing and appe-
tizing. 1t is always wise to feed
plenty of roughage to growing colts.
Feeding concentrated feeds in excess
is discouraged, as it is important
that the digestive tract be developed
by distending it during the growing
period. Ungainly, large-barreled colts
may annoy the feeder, but this con-
dition always disappears with ma
turity.
Proper feeding of colts should al
ways be accompanied by plenty of
outdoor exercise for the young ami
NAL. In no way can colt be ruined
so easily and surely as by liberal feed
Ing with lack of exercise. Close con-
nnement and the raising of good colts
do not go together. '-svr,;nr.r,..,,..

ROUGHNESS GOOD FOR SHEEP
Animals Are Able to Consume Con-
siderable Quantity of Slower,
Straw, Hay and SiIage.

Sheep are able to consume consid-
cradle roughage such as stover, straw,
hay and silage.
For this reason they are able to
convert coarse farm products into NUT
ton and wool. With pasture and rough
age not much grain is required to fat
ten the animals.

WHEN TO WEAN LITTLE PIGS
Nature Teaches Sow Best Time-Lit-
ter Sucking at Two Months Is
Most Profitable.

Nature has taught the sow and
teaches the little pigs when they
should be weaned.
Sometimes the sow sucking the lit
ter two months old pays big, for the
pigs make enough more growth to pay
for the extra feed.
