DUTY


Dear Children wish to take yCu this
afternoon TO the battlefield. A bunner
stands at his post. His captain comes along
and, pointing to a distant building says,
do you see that hut?"
81 do" replied the gunner.
TRY il with a shell the enemy are bold
ing It,"
The man aimed his gun and his aim was
true. for the shell destroyed the cottage.
A few moments afterward the captain
looked at the gunner. His eyes were filled
with tears. The officer asked tho reason
for those tears and the gunner replied
That was my home shelcd"
Have YOU spent days or perhaps years
in building up something which you must
destroy with single act because II is your
duty? Then you will know now that gum
ner felt Every day our cherished dreams
are likely to be upset and even dc cslroyed
In the line of our duty.
Duty means obedience, IL nothing more
than obedience to the voice of &C ntcience
What are your duties? Have you ever
thought of the fact that YOU are soldier
fighting In the worlds great battle? DO
you know what it means G. obey?
The more you learn to obey now the
less you will have to learn latea on
Mother father, teacher all are very,
very patient with you because they love
you; they make allowances for your age
and the love they have for you. But the
big round world has not time to ask aues-
tions The big round word says: Are
you ready? Fire." The big round world
will not accept excuses. You must obey or
you are held TO account.
DO not tell me that 1t takes a battlefield
to make hero for you, every time you
do your duty are a HERO, no matter how
small you may be. Lovingly,

ing OH Hans who was squatted near by
twiddling his hat with face that for abso-
lutte impassiveness resembled a deal board
''You hear, he very hungry snake. and you
make nice tea for him.
Hans rolled his little yellow eyes without
even turning his head until they rested on
the stately countenance OF Harut. and an
swered in Bantu:
"I hear, Liar-with- the White Beard but
what have to do with this matter? Jana
Is NV enemy who would have killed Macu-
mazana. nv master, not your dirty snake.
What Is the good of this snake OF yours?
II 1t were any good, why does 1t not kill

knock II on the head II you are afraid.
I will do so for you IL you pay me. That

spat upon the floor
"All right" said Harut. still speaking
English, 'you 20 kill snake. Go when you
like no one say no. Then we give you new
name. Then we call you Lord-of-the-
Snake"
AS Hans, who now was engaged in light
ing his corncob pipe, did not deign to an
swer these remarks, Harut turned to me
and said
Lord Macumanza your leg still bad, eh ?
Well, I bring you some ointment what make
IL uuite well; 1t holy ointment come from
the Child. We want you get well quick"
Then suddenly he broke into Bantu. MY

FARMER FEED EXPERTS.
National Crop Improvement ssrvice.l

National Crop improvement service.l
"A farmer who has devoted his life
time to the study of feeding generally
has more success through his common
sense methods than any scientific
analysis can supply. II such a feeder
could have on hand all of the In
gradients (most by-products of cereal
manufacturer, which according to the
market at the time would be more
economical, he could, through his ex-
perience, be very successful In mix
ing his feeds. But the difficulty with
the average man is to maintain an
economical ration from the products
of his own farm.
He may be an expert, If he chooses
to study out new ration every time
the market changes, but he generally
prefers to let someone, who makes q
business of mixing feeds do 1t for him.
No doubt the majority of users Of
mixed feeds begin to buy it because
of a shortage of forage and grain
crops on the farm.
II such man will keep books he
will find that as a usual thing the
use OF mixed stock feed Is mere mat
ter of arithmetic whether he could
buy the ingredients cheaper than he
could buy them in a so-called "baL
anced" ration.

FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE
POUND OF GRAIN.
National Crop Improvement serylce.l

National Crop improvement Servlce.1
c. II. Packard, of Delavan, Wiscon-
sin, progressive and practical dairy
man, was not satisfied with his ration
of homegrown feed. Although he
mixed his ration with brains and it
seemed to be theoretically correct, he
thought he would try out his own
mixture in comparison with a first
class dairy feed. Much to his surprise
he found that he could save about
five lbs. of grain per COW per day and
nearly 5 cents per cow. He figured
his own grain at prices much below
the wholesale market and bought his
mixed feed at retail.
Also when his ration was figured &C.
cording to Armsby or Energy method
his mixed feed proved to be the right
combination to make balanced ration
with his own farm roughage.

MUST TASTE GOOD.

National Crop Improvement servlcc.l
A dairy ration must, of all things,
be palatable so that a cow will eat it.
ltmust be bulky and coarse so as to
avoid indigestion and sickness. 1t
must contain a variety of foods so
that the COW will not tire of it or get
off her feed. 1t must contain enough
real protein-all protein is not alike.
1t must contain the right amounts
and kinds of mineral substances nee
essary to life, health and milk secre-
ton. 1t must be highly digestible.
Many feeds are only about fifty to
sixty per cent digestible and the work
Of excreting SO much waste matter is
costly in that it uses up the energy Of
the food to do It.

SUCCESSFUL FEEDING.

National Crop Improvement Servcs.l
1t Is most significant and probably
the best argument for mixed feeds
when 1t is considered that q large
number Of the most prominent and
skilled men in America have dis
carded their own mixed feeds and
rations because they have found q
satisfactory brand of feed which will
make as much milk at less cost and
no trouble and, above all. keeps cows
in perfect health.
Many agricultural schools and ex-
pertinent stations use and have used
them for the same reason.
You can verify this by writing to
any experiment station and they will
give you the names of mixed brands
which are best adapted to your pur-
pose.
