UNCLE SAM AND WOODROW

OuC1E GAM AND WOODROW
Yes, sir, l was "all het up and
pretty near to bolin';
Seemed as if lone thoughts in
inside Of me were close to
spoilin'
They were bad and they were bit
ter, aad if l had spoken
hasty,s
I might have mentioned some-
thing which was rather tart.
than tasty
There l was a-chewia' pepper
grass and chile sauce and
mustard
And wishin' l could catch some
cuss and beat him to a
custard,
And then l looked at Wilson and
he wasn't even fiustered.
Yes, SIR there was Woodrow
Wilson, going steady as a
clock.
With an eye as soft as heaven
and a chin like Plymouth
Rock,
With calmness all commend
And sanity unendabie,
So says I, "Well, I'm for Wilson
Woodrow Wilson, the De-
pendable!''
l don't like women being killed
and babies fed to fishes,
Il makes me feei like callin'
names and smashin' all the
dishes.
And with all the world gone
loony and a-cuttin' crazy
capers,
The Ten Commandments gone
to pot, among the scraps Of
papers,
l felt like cuttin' loose myself.
Yes, sir, I'm most was ready
To jump into the whirlpool and
founder in the eddy.
But there was Wilson speakin'
and his voice was calm and
steady.
Yes, sir, there was Woodrow
Wilson. sitting tight and
looking solemn,
AS clear-eyed as prophet and
as clean-cut as column.
Woodrow Wilson, the depend
able,
The candid and commendabie,
Yes, sir, today I'd almost say,
he's Wilson the Godsend-
able!

CORN, OATS, WHEAT FOR FEED
Interesting Experiment at Wisconsin
Experiment Station With Three
Lots OF Heifers.

In an experiment at the Wisconsin
experiment station three lots Of heif.
ers weighing about $50 pounds were
fed equal amounts Of nutrients. For
one lot the nutrients were wholly from
the wheat plant, another from oats
and the third from corn. All lots grew
at about normal rate, but after few
months 1t became easily observable
that the wheat lot was not so well
nourished as the others. This was evi.
dent from the appearance Of the coat
The corn and oat-fed lots bred earlier
than the wheat fed one. showing that
the latter were depressed in some de.
gree. The corn-fed lot produced calves
which were of normal size and full Of
vigor. The oat-fed lot produced calves,
which were Of about normal size but
with very low vigor, while those from
the wheat lot were about half as large
as the normal calf at birth and wers
dead or ready to die when born. When
half Of the roughage Of the wheat lot
was replaced with alfalfa hay the
calves were normal.
No reasons have yet been .wori ed
out as to why these foods should Ict
80 differently but It is important to
know how they affect animals.

During an experiment which began

Skim milk that is not from tubercu.
Tar cows is valuable pig feed. The
best way to feed it is three pounds Of
skim milk to one pound Of grain. Fed
in this proportion skim milk has Sc

The younger and smaller the pigs
are the more valuable is the milk. Ii

/. Nationwide prohibition could

company-trouble that would not be n

River Rouge, Wayne county and De-
troit officials are entitled to commenda-
ton for their summary steps in meeting

We need not and viii not be guilty OF
