The City of the Light

Have you heard of the Golden City
Mentioned in the legends old?
Everlasting light shines Ger it,
Wondrous tales of it are told;
Only righteous men and women
Dwell within its cleaning walls,
Wrong is banished from its borders,
Justice reigns supreme Ger all.
We are builders Of that City;
All our joys and all our groans
Help to rear its shinging ramparts,
All our lives are building stones;
But the work that we have builded,
Oft with bleeding hands and tears,
And in error and in anguish,
Will not perish with our years
1t will be at last made perfect
nthe universal plan;
1t will help to crown the labors
OF the toiling hosts of man.
1t will last and shine transfgured
In the final reign of right,
1t will merge into the splendors
Of the City of the Light

ALL AROUND
THE FARM
RAISE MORE LIVE STOCK.


Cattle, Sheep and Hogs Will Command
High Prices For Next Three Years.
"Raise more live stock; there viii be
high prices for at least three years to
come" This is an emergency message
to farmers and stock growers from G..
Howard Dawson, president of the In
ternational Live Stock exposition and
chairman Of the executive committee
Of the National Agricultural society.
Says Mr.. Dawson: "In my judgment
there will be scarcity of nearly all
kinds Of live stock for some time to
come. and farmers and stockmen
should make their plans accordingly.
This means that there should be no
selling Of young animals or female
breeding stock merely because current
prices are high. Better money can be
made by working on the understand
ing that high prices for hogs, cattle,
sheep and other live stock will rule for
at least three or four years to come.
There is no doubling this In view of
the knowledge that Europe has lost
over 80 per cent of its live stock, that
the whole world, In fact, is suffering
from a serious shortage in all kinds of
food animals.
There is so much concern over a
possible wheat or potato shortage that
the public is forgetting the meat situa-
ton. AS matter Of fact, If every eff
fort vere made TO increase the conn.,
try's supply of cattle it would be at
least three years before solid results
would be apparent. AS regards sheep,
it would require at least two years to
make any considerable increase In
numbers, even though every eve were
held back for breeding purposes.
1.-The best possible program for the
farmer from the standpoint of either
patriotism or profit is to raise more
live stock and to work on three or
four year program at least"

LUCK IN AN AIRPLANE.
Curious BIZ Of Good Fortune That
Saved an Army Avistor.

Curious BIZ Of Good Fortune That
Saved an Army AViator.
Many an army aviator owes his life
to miraculous good fortune, like the
British airman whose escape is de-
scribed in 'eTales Of the Flying Serv-
ices'' by G. G.. Grey.
An officer went out on a bombing ex-
petition and met German machine.
In order to save weight he had left his
small arms behind him, but he thought
it was a pity to pass by good target,
and so he decided to drop bomb on
him. But dropping bomb on swift
" moving mark Is not the same as fir
ing at fixed point. So he missed the
German. Unfortunately for him, he
also exposed himself to the fire Of the
enemy and received rife bullet In the
thigh.
To be strictly accurate, the bullet
struck his trousers pocket, hit a five
franc piece, broke itself and the coin
! and distributed the assorted pieces of
metal about the lower part Of his body.
Feeling that he was badly hit, the
pilot shut Off his engine and Owed for
the ground from height Of about 6,OOO
feet. When he was a thousand feet
from the ground he espied some aero
planes In field, and. not knowing
whether he was over German or French
territory, he made UP hts mind to land
among the aeroplanes, certain that If
they did happen to be German machines
he would be wen treated by the flying
corps
Two hundred feet above ground he
completely lost consciousness, but IN
some curious subconscious way he made
perfect landing right alongside Of a
British motor ambulance. So well DID
he land that for some minutes no one
troubled about him. When they did
60 to look they found badly wounded
officer in state Of collapse.
He was promptly put into the ambu
lance and sent of to the hospital
There It was found that the bullet bad
cut q large artery and that the pilot
would have bled to death in a few min
utes If the bullet had not also cut q
muscle, which had sprung back and
wrapped itself like piece Of elastic
round the artery and formed, as Il
were, an automatic tourniquet.

PASTURE FOR CALVES.


Little Gained by Turning Youngsters
Out Before Six Months Old.
A calf four months old is a little too
young to turn out to pasture unless 1t
is possible to provide it with skimmiik,
says Hoard's Dairyman. We prefer to
have a calf six months old, and seven
months is better, before turning 1t out
to grass. If 1t Is possible to provide
pasture near the barn where skimmilk
may be fed daily to the calf then we
consider 1t good practice to turn the
four-months-old calf to pasture In the
spring.
We prefer to keep calves born IN the
spring In the barn rather than out to
pasture because of the hot weather
and flies. A calf will not consume
enough grass to provide ample nutri-
ment for growth for the first four or
FIVE months. Further, we think 1t q
good practice to feed o calf skimmilk
for sig or seven months and longer II
there Is an abundance Of It. The caif
ought to do very well on Q Jersey nurse
COW, but we consider butter fat too ex-
pensive to feed to a calf
We are inclined to believe that q
calf will do fully as well on skimmiIk
as on whole milk after It is four or
FIVE weeks old. At six or seven
months Of age 1t may not show as
sleek and smooth coat as when fed
on whole milk, but when a year old
we believe the skimmilk calf viii be
fully as vigorous and growthy as the
one raised on whole milk. If calves
five and six months old can be placed
upon good pasture supplemented
with little whole grain, like oats and
corn, and some skimmilk they will
make very satisfactory growths.
We do not believe there Is much If
any danger Of calves bloating by graz
ing upon peas and wheat. There is
danger If they are permitted to Craze
upon clover or alfalfa. Care should
be taken at all times to supply the
calves with liberal amount of water.

Navy Beans For War crop.


Navy or field beans is one Of the
easiest crops to grow in Missouri and
to the southwark, says Missouri Agri-
cultural college. Beans will make a
good yield on poorer soil than almoGt
any other farm crop. They may be
planted then on soil which would not
produce a good corn crop Even on thin
soils they will not require fertilizers.
They can be planted late, after the
spring rush Of other crops Is over. They
will demand only third the cultiva-
ton required for corn. A yield of from
ten to twenty-five bushels may be ex-
pected In favorable season and with
average care. These advantages, to-
gether with their high food value and
the ease with which they can be stored
make navy beans an excellent war
crOp.

OATS FOR DAIRY COWS.
Excellent Feed For Milk Production
When Combined With Grains.

Excellent Feed For Milk Production
When Combined With Grains.
Oats Is an excellent feed for milk
cows. Its price usually prohibits its
extensive use In the dairy ration, how
ever, says Hoard's Dairyman. 1t con-
tains more protein than corn, barley or
wheat; about the same fat content as
corn and considerably more than bar
ley or wheat, but it is good bit lower
In carbohydrates than the other three
grains. Experimentally In ration in
which there was no protein deficit
ground oats has been equal to wheat
bran, and with q basal ration of 80
pounds bran and 1O.1 pounds mixed
hay As pounds oats were equal to the
same weight Of cornmeal
Oats serve its best use In dairy ra-
ton when combined with other concen-
trates: also heavy producing cows viii
pay in milk production for grinding or
crushing oats. Cows giving small guam
titles Of milk may not. The oats should
be cleaned as thoroughly as possible Of
coal cinders. We would expect, how
ever, that no Ill effects from small
amounts left in would be noticed.
