She laughed happily. 81 suppose 1t

"Debritt would say that 1t was the
Absolute Ego" he said, half musingly.
"And who is Mr.. Debritt?"
''He is the man I dined with on my
last evening in Lawrenceville. He had
been Joking me about my various
little smugnesses-good job, good
clothes, easy life, and all that, and he
wound up by warning me to watch out
for the Absolute Ego"
'What is the Absolute Ego?" she
asked dutifully.
John Montague Smith, with his curl
ing yellow beard three weeks I'M
trimmed, with his clothes dressing the
part of a neglected camper, and with
a steel-jacketed bullet trying to encyst
itself under his right shoulder blade,
grinned exultantly.

Again the young woman laughed
happily. "If you are going to call me

Whereupon, the moment being strict

WINTER RoUeHAeC FOR sows.
Economical Rations Made Up Largely
of Home-G Grown Feeds.

During the winter the brood sows
should be maintained as cheaply as
possible, but ut the same time they
must be properly fed in order to far
row Il large number of healthy, we'll
grown pigs In the spring. Best results
are obtained when sufficient food ~
given to produce daily gains ON tho
sows, of one-hulf or threefourths Of n
pound. To do this the grain feed must
be limited, and diluted with some
roughage, for unless the ration has
sufficient bulk, the sows will become
constipated and hungry, due to tha
undistended condition OF the di-
gestive tract. Legume hays are tho
chief roughages available at this sea-
son, and their use will cheaper the cost
of feeding.
Either alfalfa, clover, soy bean, Or
,cowpea hay makes an excellent rougli-
age, and when fed, iittIe. or 10 Nigh.

TO balance the corn. Bright. leafy, al

chopped into u meal. Glover hay con-
tains almost rs much nourisbmeut as
alfalfa hay, and soy-bean hay, cut and :
cured when the beans are almost ripe,
Is very nutritious feed. COwpea hay
should be cut when the first peas are
ripening and consequently does not
have as high food value as soy bean
hay. Great care must be exercised in
curing soy bean and cowpea hay, for
the stalks are very heavy and succulent
and unless thoroughly dried, are apt To
mold. Under no condition should a
brood SOW be fed upon any rOughage
which is not bright, nutritious and free
from smut or mold. She does not relish
or thrive on such inferior feed IL is
very apt to cause severe digestive trou-
bles and may lead to the loss OF her lit
ter.

Urgent Need for Action.

AT the recent meeting inWashington
of 100 livestock raisers and dairymen,
brought together by Secretary of Agrl-
culture Houston and Food Administra-
tor Hoover to act as n national com
mittee. on the livestock. industry, spe-
cial attention was given to methods
for bringing about II quick and ma
terlnl increase in the production of
meat and milk In the United States.
The urgent need of greater supplies of
meat during the war-has been generally
realized. 1t Is not so well understood
that larger numbers of all kinds of live
stock on American farms are requisite
for the period following the war; be-
cause the European countries will be
forced to continue to import large
part of their meat supplies long after
peace is restored. A large export trade
in grade mares, cows, ewes and sows
Is expected, as only by such means can
Europe restore her commercial flocks
to their former food-producing capac-
ity. Even without an export trade In
meats or live stock, the home demand
prices for livestock products. This
fact was strongly in evidence before
the war, but its Significance has been
obscured by the unusual prices of the
last two years.
Supply Dependent on Small Farms.
One of the main points urged upon
the attention of the government au-
thorities by the livestock committee
was the dependence upon the small
farms Tor present and future increased
livestock production. Farmers in all
parts of the country can safely make
livestock raising one of their main
sources of income. This is true not
only because of assured good prices in
the future, but because IA strong reli-
ance upon one or more kinds of live
stock gives better balance and great
er economy to the entire farm busi-
ness. The cotton and wheat-growing
states will no doubt continue 10 give
these crops an important place as de-
pendable sources of cash income. They
can, however, maintain higher yields
and better distribute the risks of bad
seasons by practicing crop rotations
that include feed crops for live stock.
1t is true that crop yields can be main
tanned by the use of commercial fer
tilizers, but the fertility of the soil can
generally be kept up more cheaply by |
applying manure produced on the farm |
or by growing crops to be grazed off |
by cattle, sheep or hogs. Furthermore, |
many lands that will not produce |
heavy crops of grain will grow good |
crops for grazing, thus saving labor of |
harvesting and ut the same time i'm
proving the soil and realizing returns |
from the growth and fattening of live
stock
Successful Farmers of Future.
1t can safely be said that the most
successful farmers of the future In all
parts of the country will be those who
study the production, of one or more
classes of meat or dairy stock. In
spite of high feed prices the present is
favorable time to increase the farm
live stock by retaining the best young
or by the purchase Of hood
stock where start is yet
