cranberries, popcorn, nuts and other
dainties beloved of birds. Strings Of
red skinned apples, cut into tiny pieces
convenient for birds to peck at, were
a prominent feature of the decorations,
and so were bacon rinds and Jumps Of
suet, which are good to keep warmth
in the little bodies when the cold creeps
under their feathered coats.
Miss Louise, who spent most Of her
time in the country, studied the ways
Of the birds and their likings, and she
knew that they are as strongly attract
ed by bright colored things as are chill
dren. That is why the tree was made
pretty with gay tinted berries.
There was a large attendance, and
no birds were turned away, no matter
how shabby their coats or disreputable
their regulations. The clustering little
English sparrows were welcomed with
the rest, although they tried to bully
the others. Even grouchy old Sir Grow
was permitted to peck bit.

Of that Inwearied patron Of children,
that homely but delightful personifica-
ton Of parental kindness, Santa Claus,
his custom and his equipage, as he goes
about visiting the firesides of this hap
py land, laden with Christmas boun-
ties, but from whomsoever 1t may
have come we give thanks for 1t.
There is to our apprehension a spirit of
cordial goodness In 1t, a playfulness as
Of fancy and benevolent alacrity to
enter into the feelings and promote the
simple pleasures Of children which are
altogether charming. We hope our lit
tie patrons, both lads and lassies, will
accept 1t as a proof Of our unfeigned
good will toward them, token Of our
warmest wish that they may have
many merry Christmas; that they
may long retain their beautiful relish
for these unbought, home bred Joys,
which derive their flavor from filial
piety and fraternal love and which,
they may be assured, are the least al
loyed that time can furnish them

DRILLING GRAIN is FAVORED
Increase Of 5.s with oats Obtained &c
illinois statlon-Slnale Disk
Drill Is Best.

The prospect for high prices and
the absolute necessity for increasing
our crop yields to meet war conditions
are the reasons why every farmer
should plant his grain, clover, alfalfa
and yetch with a grain drill.
A three-year trial In drilling COM
pared with broadcasting oats at the
Illinois experiment station gave an in
creased yield Of 5.3 bushels per acre
each year and one bushel less seed
was planted In the drilled field. At
the Iowa station a four years trial
with winter wheat gave an average
yield Of AZ bushels more grain per
acre from drilling.
The single disk drill is probably the
best general-purpose drill. The shoe-
furrow opener does splendid work on
a well-prepared clean seed bed. It ts
well adapted for seeding alfalfa, Glow
er and grass seed for the reason that
the depth Of seeding in mellow soil
can be easily regulated. The double
disk drill works well under similar
as the shoe may be pre-
ferred in wet ground and sticky SOIL

SPLENDID FOR LAYING HENS
Corn and Meat Scrap VIII Produce
Satisfactory Egg YleId-Test at
Ohio Station.

When wheat and other feeds are
relatively higher in price, corn and
meat scrap will produce satisfactory
egg yield at lower cost per unit Of
production.
Hens fed on corn and meat scrap
for 1,O47 days at the Ohio experiment
station laid an average of 351 eggs a
hen. Those fed ration Of corn,
wheat, oats, bran and meat scrap pro
duced $40 eggs. The feed cost per
dozen eggs was 16 per cent higher for
the lot getting the variety of feeds
than for the corn and meat scrap lot.
Corn, wheat, oats, bran, oilmeal,
middllngs and meat scrap constituted
the ration Of one lot that laid 1877
eggs per hen one year. Hens fed only
corn and meat scrap laid 12S eggs
per hen. The cost Of feed per dozen
eggs was nearly A per cent greater
in the case Of the hens fed the variety
ration.

The Spanish Santa Claus.

In Spain, however, 1t is not Santa
Claus, but one of the three kings, no
less person, indeed, than Balthasar,
who is the purveyor Of gifts. He is
always represented as a negro, even
In the pictures of the old masters, and
as such he survives in Spanish legend.
On the eve of the Epiphany the chill
dren leave their shoes and boots out in
some convenient spot near the chin
ney, to find them laden with gifts in
the morning. Boots, in fact, preceded
the stocking everywhere, the superior
advantages of the latter asia recep-
tacle having been a recent discovery.
In Belgium to this day the children
give their shoes an extra fine polish on
Christmas eve, fill them with hay, oats
or carrots for Santa Claus white horse
and put them on the table or set them
In the fireplace. The room is then
carefully closed and the door locked.
In the morning strange thing is
found to have occurred. The furniture
is all turned tOpsy turvy, the fodder
has been removed from the shoes, and
in Its place the good little children find
all sorts Of nice things and the bad
ones only rods made of birch. In 9th
err localities baskets, dishes and wood
en- ware are made the receptacles. But
the elasticity Of the stocking, its
adaptability and the fact that, while
1t preserves the individuality Of the
owner like shoe, 1t may yet be clean
ed and made ready for the reception
OF edible presents--these characters
tics have caused 1t to grow into general
favor among the juvenile votaries Of
Santa Claus.

FATTENING CATTLE
ON SORGHUM GRAIN
One Of Best Ways TO Market
This Crop in Southwest.
Pastures In Some Parts Are In Poor
Condition and Corn Crop Is Short
in others-sllos Increase
In Number.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Feeding grain sorghum to fattening
cattle is one Of the best ways to mar
ket this crop. Farmers in the south
west are urged to use an unusually
large production of sorghum grain this
year for the production Of meat ami
mails. Pastures in some parts of that
region are in poor condition and the
corn crop is short in other places.
These facts should cause a large in
crease In the use Of sorghum grain In
the Southwest for beef making this
winter.
Marketing grain in the form of fat
tened cattle eliminates the costly haHl-
ing and shipping of the grain. In the
form Of meat, the grain also sells for
a better price than usually can be got
for Il as grain. Similarly the owner of
cattle fattened on grain sorghums gets
the profit which under the system Of
selling his cattle as feeders" goes to
the farmers of the corn belt conduct
ing feeding operations.
Experiments of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture show that
sorghum grain has 80 per cent of the
feeding value Of corn and is, therefore,
more economical than corn when it sells
for less than 80 per cent of the price
Of corn. The best system for fatten-
Ing cattle in the sorghum grain grow
ing sections, according to the special
lists includes the feeding of silage and
a concentrate with the grain. Silos
have been increasing in number in the
Southwest during the last few years,
1t is pointed out, and the region Is es-
pecially favorably located in so far as
an available supply of cottonseed meal
-one of the best concentrates--is con-
,erned.

Up to the present time $4,000 horses

States. The value of the horses which
have been exported is $194,000,000 and

CORN SUPPLY IN LOUISIANA
University Expert Points Out Neces-
sity Of Holding Enough to Meet
Absolute Needs.

Reports have been received from
several portions Of Louisiana that corn
is being sold at approximately 81 per
bushel at the present time" says Dean
w. r. Dodson of the Louisiana state
university. "In some cases 1t is as
serted that there Is an inadequate sup
ply Of corn in these very communities
to meet the requirements for the COM
ing year.
"Old corn Is worth in st. Louis at
this time around 81 bushel; Deem
Der deliveries are quoted at about
$1.20, with every. probability that the
price will be materially higher as the
season advances. Every indication
would stress the Importance Of hold
ing enough corn in every community
to meet the absolute needs of every
body. Independently Of the price con-
sideration, traffic conditions may be
such as to prohibit us from securing
shipment Of corn into Louisiana ter
ritory from distant states"

"A Visit From
St. Nicholas

M/HAT is the best known poem IN
wv the world? Not Gray's 'aIe-
gy," nor "The Song Of the
Shirt" nor 1.-THE Rayen,n but "The
Night Before Christmas" The author
Is not so well known as his poem.
One recent Christmas the name of
Clement Clarke Moore was honored as
never before. Above his grav ID the
chapel of Holy Trinity cemettSy, New
York, the choir boys sang carols on the
night before Christmas, and a service
OF light was held. This beautiful cere-
monial starts with a procession of
torchbearers whose torches are kindled
from the leaders flame, and as the line
winds through the graveyard the fire
is passed back from one to another I'M
til the lights grow in number and dis
pei the surrounding darkness,
The father of Clement Clarke Moore
was once the bishop Of New York.
"The Night Before Christmas was
published originally without the au-
thor's knowledge in the Troy Sentinel /
two days before Christmas 1923,
Moore had written it the preceding
Christmas just for the delight Of his
own children, but its circulation slip
ped beyond the family circle, and an
unknown friend sent 1t for publication.
The Sentinel readers paid no attention
to 1t, and it passed without comment
until seven years later, when the same
paper reprinted it. The second reeep-
ton was very different from the first.
"a Visit From ST. Nicholas" as it was
then entitled, was copied broadcast,
and its author awoke to find his work,
If not himself, famous.
Although Clement Clarke Moore was
educated for the ministry, he never
took orders. For the greater part Of
his life he was identified with the New
York General Theological seminary,
being professor of Biblical learning
and Greek and later of oriental LAM
guages.
Clement Moore's family life had many
sorrows. His wife died at the early
age of thirty-five, and the two little
daughters, for whom he wrote "The
Night Before Christmas" both died In
their childhood. His son and name
sake lived to the age Of sixty-eight and
is buried in the family plot.
When "The Night Before Christmas"
was first published In the Troy Senti-
mel the editor wrote:

the vast majority of weevils that pass

weevils that would develop from each
plant are absolutely prevented from
doing so.
5. The removal Of the infested
plants with the weevils facili-
tates fall or early winter blowing,
which is the best possible procedure
in cotton raising. Moreover, this plow-
ing assists greatly in the production
of a. early crop the following season.

Dufresnay's
Christmas
Awakening

I'm Christmas morning Of the year
1881 M. Dufresnay's apartments
were In some confusion. Mon
sieur himself as he slept on a spindle
legged sofa was not the very image of
order. His rose colored satin coat was
under his head, and his silk stockinged
calves dangled over the end of his all
too brief bed. The cards Of yesterday
and yesternight bestrewed the floor.
He was disturbed by the insistent
tinkling Of a bell. Dufresnay groaned
and struggled to his feet.
On opening the door he beheld a
very beautiful young lady quantity dis
guised as a working woman and carry
ing large basket such as laundresses
use. Dufresnay retreated In confusion,
bowling profoundly and wrestling with
his coat.
