GRAIN RATION FOR LAMBS
Young Animal Just Beginning to Eat
Should Be Given Corn, Oats, Oil
Meal and Bran.

A good grain ration for lambs just
beginning to eat is ground corn, l
part; crushed oats, l part; linseed
Oil meal, part; and wheat bran, 2
parts. Wheat bran is very essential
in this ration, and the shepherd should
always see that it is present. A grain
ration consisting of 2 pounds of wheat
bran, pound of oats (crushed oats be-
ing preferred), 1 pound of finely
ground cornmeal, and one-half pound
of oil meal has proved to be an excel
lent grain ration for young lambs. 1t
has also been found that grain mix
ture of oil meal and cornmeal has CIV
en- better results than mixture OF
cottonseed meal and cornmeal.

Let the persons who think wheatless

ten to the venerable men and women
whose memory takes them back to the
Civil war, says the Anaconda (Mont.)
Standard.
Roasted barley, parched corn, chic
ory roots, and even dandelion roots,
dried and roasted, were used as cof-
fee substitutes White or granulated
sugars were rarity and only on the
table for company. Brown sugar and
old-fashioned black molasses, bread
and honey and even bread and ham
fat were considered pretty good enough
for all but the old people. In those
days nearly every family in town kept

went without milk. The papers Of
that day emphasized the fact that cof-
fee and tea were more nutritious when

Queen Mothers Gift Bible.

Upon one of his journeys during the
Antarctic expedition Sir Ernest Shack
Teton was obliged to reduce his lug
gage to the smallest possible amount.
He states that up to this point the
Bible given by Queen Alexandra to the
ships library Crowded by the British
and Foreign Sailors society had been
carried with the party. In leaving
other things behind it was decided
with reluctance that this also must be
abandoned.
AS the Bible contained on its fly leaf
a message written by Queen Alexan-
dra, the fly leaf was cut out, also the.
page containing the TWenty-third
psalm, and the chapter in the Book Of
Job which speaks of the sea being fro
zen. These three pages were carried
to the end Of the journey and brought
back to this country.
Sir Ernest has promised to present
the three pages to the society to be
sold on behalf Of it's funds.

HELPED ITALY INTO WAR
D'Annunzio, Poet-Aviator, Alleged to
Have lnfIamed Minds of People,
Declaration Following.

Perhaps more than any one indi-
vidual, D'Annunzio, the poet-aviator,
helped to bring Italy into the war This
is an aspect of his career not by any
means generally understood, says the
New York Evening Post.
In the spring Of 1915 Italy was still
uncertain as to her final decision. Clio
litti, advocate Of peace, while no longer
In control of the government, still re-
tanned enormous political power. The
action of the country was as yet
doubtful, when this maker Of over
wrought, sensuous poetry and prose,
this writer who had been termed the
last word in decadent and dollhouse
literature. landed on his native soil
after a five years absence, and COM
menced his crusade. The ostensible
reason for his visit was an address he
had to make at QuartO, where 80 years
before Garibaldi had embarked with
his valiant thousand" the real object
his desire to drive Italy into the war.
From Quarto his trip. to Rome was a
trfumphal progress, punctuated with
impassioned oratory. He arrived In
Rome just in time to forestall Giolitti,
who had forced the Salandra cabinet
to announce its resignation.
One hundred and fifty thousand
people welcomed D'Annunzio in the
Piazza dele Terme. In the chamber
Of deputies he was hailed as the coun-
try's savior, and the italian parliament
answered his appeal with declaration
Of war. Surely strange Tyrtaeus,
but one not afraid TO sacrifice his life
on hehalf of his country

KEEP CLOSE TRACK OF HOGS
Make Sure That Animals Are Not At.
flicted With Lice-Oilers Are
Quite Common.

It is well to keep close track of the
hogs and make sure that they are not
afflicted with lice. Lice are blood
Sacking parasites. They lower the vi
tally of hogs, not only by sucking the
blood but by continual irritation which
gives the hog no rest. When hogs
have many lice they will not do well
and will lose flesh, becoming much
weakened in condition and thus more
susceptible to disease.
There are various methods Of get
ting rid of lice. Hog oilers are quite
common, though the crude oil which
is used in them may be applied to the
hog directly with brush. The hogs
may be dipped two or three times at
intervals of about ten days, using some
reliable coal-tar dip or disinfectant.
This gives good results.

HIGH-CLAss HORSES WANTED
Animal That Performs Work Most Eff
GENTLY and Sells at Profit Is
Most Desirable.

The most desirable horse is the one
that performs the work required most
efficiently and economically, and sells
at the greatest profit. Under aver
age conditions this horse will COM
bine size, substance, style, step and
quality. Nothing adds more to the
value of big horse than style, action
and quality.
A big horse without these three
things is a very undesirable, unsatis-
factory and expensive form Of mo-
tive power, either on the farm or in
the city. Each year sees less demand
for inferior horses, both large and
small, and a corresponding increase
in the value Of high-class horses of
