PWbLlcomanl0---One of the Most
Pern9clOus Vices of the Time

and a great many popular schemes OF
reform would be wholly unnecessary.
One of the most damaging results
which arises from this publicomania is
the pulling down of family affairs and
the neglect of family worship. A gem
Grafton is growing up without the
knowledge of family prayers. Multi
piled thousands of children know moth
ing of the family altar. If they had
been born in pagan lands they could
hardly have breathed in their homes
more pagan and prayerless atmosphere.
These children are to be pitied. One
brought up under the holy influences of
daily family worship knows how COM
forting and strengthening is even the
memory of such a sacred thing. Long
years of toll and care may stretch be-
tween mature life and the days of child
hood which were blest by the inspira-
lions of the family altar, but those ear
ly impressions remain as restraint
from sin, an inspiration to duty, and
support in trial.
A great American writer, when his
heart was stricken with many griefs and
his shoulders burdened with heavy re-
sponsibilities, wrote of home sanctlned
by family worship and he revealed how
much the memory of such nome was
to him. He says:
81 recall a home like this, long since
left behind in the journey of life; and
it's memory floats back over me with
shower of emotions and thoughts to-
ward whose precious fall my heart
opens itself greedily like a thirsty
flower
The hour of the evening has come.
the lamps are lighted and a good man
in middle life-though very old he
seems to me-takes down the we'll
worn Bible and reads a chapter from its
hallowed pages. A sweet woman sits at
at his side, with my sleepy head upon
her knee, and brothers and sisters are
grouped reverently around. l do not un-
derstan the words, but I have been told
that they are the words of God, and L
believe IT. The long chapter ends, and
then we all kneel down, and the good
man prays. 1 fall asleep with my head
in the chair, and the next morning re-
member nothing of the way in which I
went to bed. After breakfast the Bible
is taken down, and the good man prays
again: and again and again Is the Wor-
ship repeated through all the days of
many golden years. The pleasant con-
verse of the fireside, the simple songs
of home, the words of announcement
as / bend over my school tasks the
kiss as l lie down to rest, the patient
bearing with the freaks of my restless
nature the gentle counsels mingled
with reproOfs and approvals, the SYM
pathy that meets and asuages every
sorrow and sweetens every little sue
cess-all these return to me and the
responsibilities which press upon me
now, and l feel as if l had once lived
in heaven, and, strayfng, had lost my
way"
The boys and girls now living in our
land face an era of far heavier burdens
and much weightier responsibilities
than that in which the great man lived
who wrote these lines; but they are
going forth without such memories as
this great American so beautifully ex-
presses. How much they are to be
pitied. and how distressing is their
case!

German Head Ousted
By Employees Who
Buy Liberty Bonds

TAMPA, Fla, June 16.-Ernest Kre-
her, of German descent, president and
general manager of a local shipbuilding
company, resigned as president at
called meeting of the board of directors
last night. This action was taken fol-
lowing the strike of employees of the
plant yesterday because, 1T is said, MI
Kreher refused to buy Liberty bonds.
The board elected L. II. Mcintyre
president and authorized the purchase
of $1,000 worth of Liberty bonds, which
were subscribed for today.
The men are expected to return to
work Monday.

IMPORTANCE OF BALANCED RA-

Your SOW appears to be suffering from
lack of certain ingredients in the ration
she is receiving. Oats by themselves
will not contain much mineral matter
and corn is notably deficient in this ele-
ment. 1t is also lacking in protein
which constitutes an important part in
the dietary of all animals. This ele-
ment helps to build up the muscles, It's
sues and nerves Therefore you can see
how important ii is. We believe you can
improve the condition of your sow by
displacing the corn for a while with
shorts. The shorts can be reduced to a
thin slop with skim milk or kitchen slops
from which soap powders and glass are
carefully excluded. You should prepare

GROWING HOGS ON SORGHUM

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-06-19

Sorghum can be grazed by hogs any
time after It is six inches high or
course it is not very nourishing food
for this class of stock because of their
limited digestive capacity. Probably
you could get more gain per acre from
your sorghum if ii were graZed after
the seed were practically matured.
When grazed in this condition, however,
the hogs will tear the stalks down in
trying to get at the seed heads. We
realize that sorghum can be grazed
down somewhat earlier than other crops
but believe it is not so satisfactory for
hogs as many other things which you
might grow OF course we realive that
on account of the freezes you are forced
to give consideration to its use this
summer. We believe they will eat less
of it where il is cut and fed to them in
pens than where they to gather it fresh
for themselves in the field. Remember
that IL is a very watery food and hogs
grazed on 1t will need to have a sup
Elemental ration If they are to be kept

sorghum would not be considered as
