FODDER IS NOT SUFFICIENT
Cannot Be Depended Upon Alone to
Carry Stock Through Winter to
Best Advantage.

Good shock fodder is good roughage
to carry stock cattle in winter. but
alone 1t Is not sufficient. If you have
some thrifty shotes to follow the cattle,
feed broken ear corn. This pays bet
ter than to grind the feed and use corn
and cob meal. Experiments at the Illi-
nois station show that broken ear corn
is practically as good as corn and cob
meal from the standpoint Of beef pro-
duction, while hogs following cattle
thus fed, make three to four times as
much gain as those following cattle
getting corn and cob meal.
1t will pay to use little purchased
feed such as cottonseed meal. even at
relatively high prices. Don't depend
on corn fodder and corn alone to carry
your stock cattle to best advantage.

COURT EoUIPs CUPID's BOWER
Chicago Judge, With Idea Of Battling
Divorce, Fits Up an Ideal Room
for Spooning.

Husbands and wives who allow
their troubles to reach the court of
domestic relations will be given an
opportunity to make up in Il little
room attached to the court which is
being fitted up fer that purpose by
Judge John Stelk. The judge has not
given the room a name yet, but he
said it will be fitted up in n way
aimed to aid the disgruntled in re-
newing their love for one another.
Plants, flowers, canary birds, music
box and soft 1raperies will contribute
to the furnishings.
"The purpose of the fittings will be
to bring out the old affection that
the couple held for each other when
they were courting," said the judge.

PROFITABLE TO FEED LAMBS
II Farmer Can Foresee Fifty-cent Mar
gin They Will Give Results,
Says Nebraska Expert.

Many letters are being received at
the Nebraska experiment station ask
ing whether or not it is profitable to
feed lambs at the present high price
of feeders,
II one can get margin of so cents
on the selling price over the buying
price. 1t may be a profitable transac-
ton, is the answer of the animal hus-
bandry section of the experiment sta
ton. Two years ago, when corn was
60 cents and alfalfa hay So, gains on
lambs cost Sass per hundred. Last
year with feed ut the same price, lambs
fed heavily on corn made gains at
1888 per hundred, and those receiving
II medium feed of corn made gains
costing $500 per hundred. AS corn
will probably bring 20 cents and alfalfa
hay $40 this winter, it is likely gains
will cost upwards of six cents pound.
Consequently, a 50-cent margin be-
tween buying and selling price should
mean a chance for profit to the careful
feeder who gets satisfactory gains.

OATS SUPERIOR FOR HORSES
Most Satisfactory Single Grain Ra-
tion-musty Oats Are Dangerous
Feed Rouohaae.

In comparison with any Of the grain
rations. oats are the best single grain
ration for both mature horses and
colts and for mules. There is no other
grain 50 safe to feed and from which
such satisfactory results are OBJ
tained. The live stock experts Of
Clemson college advise, however, that
1T is absolutely necessary that oats be
clean and entirely free from mold In
order to obtain best results In feed
ing to colts. "Musty" oats are dam
gerous TO colts.
A fair allowance Of oats for colts
after weaving is as follows.
Up to one year of age, from 2 to
pounds daily. .....
From one to three years, Z to
pounds daily.
The best way to feed oats is in the
whole grain, the expense of crushing
not being justified unless colts suffer
In teethlng, in which case it is advis-
able to feed steamed crushed oats,
which are very nourishing and appe-
tiZlng. IL is always wise TO feeu
plenty Of roughage to growing colts.
Feeding concentrated feeds in excess
is discouraged, as it lis important
that the digestive tract be developed
by distendlng 1t during the growing
period. Ungainly, large-barreled colts
may annoy the feeder, but this con-
dition always disappears with ma
turity.
Proper feeding of colts should al
ways be accompanied by plenty of
outdoor exercise for the young ami
NAL. In no way can colt be ruined
sc. easily and surely as by liberal feed
ing with lack of exercise. Close con-
finement and the raising of good colts
do not go together.

srazlPs Wealth in Iron Ore.

Brazil is said to have the largest
known deposits in the world of 10
per cent iron ore, practically free from
phosphorus. The state of AIlnas Ger
as alone is estimated to have 1900
100000 to 2,OOOOOO.OOO tons about 300
TO 400 miles from the seacoast, and
bodies Of iron ore exist in other states
Of Brazil, according to Percival Far
quhar In an address at a meeting of
the federal trade council, New Or
leans. Our eastern mills, says the En-
cheering Record, whose expansion
should take new phase with our In
creasing export of steel and steel
products, can use this ore to advan-
tage, as well as Europe. where 1t will
allow low-grade and high phosphorus
ores to be used by mixture.

~ Differed In a Mild Degree From Her
Ancestors and Alarmed Her
Guardian.

This is a story Of the midnight ride
of Miss Revere. 1t was Pauline in
stead Of Pnul-his great-granddaugh-
ter from Dana Hall who caused the
alarms ! several Middlescx valleys
and farms.
Pauline, the great-granddaughter Of
Paul, had left Pine manor, post-gradu-
ate school Of Dana Hall school, 10
spend the holidays at the home of her
guardian, Mrs. Nathaniel Thaycr Of
Lancaster.
Well, IL seems that hours went by
and Pauline didn't appear. Mrs. Thay-
er usurped part of the Paul Revere
program and started spreading the
alarm herself.
Meanwhile, Pauline was attending
scrupulously to the rest of her ances-
trail duties. She was having the ride.
Miss Revere took a couple Of her
classmates along with her to Charles
town and the historic spot whence her
celebrated great-grandfather, the ORR
ginal designer Of New England's most
famous tourist-toured ride, started out.
There she and her friends piled INTO
the fur robes of a specially chartered
sleigh and set out to do Paul Revere's
ride de luxe as 1t should be done.
It was great ride the girls had,
while the telephone company, several
telegraph operators and two railroads
were joining forces with Mrs. Thayer
and the Dana Hall school authorities
in frantic search. The alarm ended
emily when Pauline drove into Lancas-
ter.-Boston Post.

the number of persons directly affect
ed by the cooperative movement In
Europe when the war began was about

and unsghtly spots are often caused
by mud and manure settling in the
hair, the drying of the mud causing
the skin to crack open.
"In harvest time, particularly, the
horses should be kept clean, as long
hours of work, dust and sweat, and
heat all combine to make proper care
