PROTEIN SUPPLY FOR FOWLS
When Closely Confined Chickens viii
Need Some Kind Of Meat
Grain Is Not Enough.

Fowls confined in close pens, yards
or runs where they have little chance
to get insects will need some kind of
meat. Grain will not supply enough
protein and mineral matter for best
results.
To supply this demand for protein
and mineral matter meat meal, meat
scrap or tankage Is generally fed
Laying hens especially need some of
these forms of feed. Young chickens
will thrive better If fed meat in some
form occasionally.

what Becomes Of That Cent?

A farmer comes to town with 80
apples, which he sells three for a cent,
getting, of course, 10 cents for them.
Another farmer, also with 30 APP
pies, sells them two for a cent, getting
10 cents for his. They get 25 cents
In all.
The next time they come in, with
30 apples each, they meet at the edge
of town and put their apples together,
making 60 apples. One man having
sold two for cent, the other three for
a cent, they decided to sell them five
for 2 cents.
They do so, and when they're
through find out they have received
but "a cents.
The problem is. why did they not
get as much for their apples selling
them five for 2 cents as they did when
they sold them separately, or, what
becomes of the cent?

Our Other Selves.

The old Hebrew sage declared,
"Wisdom cometh from the opportunity
of leisure" 1t does not mean that a
wise man must belong to what we call
the leisure classes. 1t means that If
one has only little free time at his
disposal, he must use that time for the
refreshment of his hidden selves, says
S. M. Crothers in the Atlantic. If he
cannot have. a sabbath rest of twenty
four hours, he must learn to sanctify
little sabbaths, it may be of ten min
utes' length. In them he shall do no
manner of work. 1t is not enough that
the self that works and receives wages
shall be recognized and protected; the
world must be made safe for our other
selves. Does not the Declaration Of
independence say that every man has
an inalienabIe right TO the pursuit of
Aappiness2

STRAW is WASTED ON FARMS
One Of Feeds Ordinarily Thrown Away
or Permitted to Rot In Pile
Where Threshed.

One of the feeds ordinarily thrown
away is straw, which is wasted or per-
mitted to rot in the straw pile where
threshed. The average straw crop
from the small grain harvest, when
properly taken care OF, stacked and
protected until fed out, will help won
derfully in the wintering of horses, cat
tie and sheep. Straw should be led In
racks arranged so it can be fOrked
down to the stock fresh every day. and
the leftover and refused stuff thrown
out for bedding. Feed sparingly each
day, and what salt is given may be put
on the straw as light brine, just enough
to carry slight salty taste; this will
add to the palatable quality Of the feed
and induce 1t to be freely taken up by
all fOdder-eating animals.

MOST EFFECTIVE ROAD TOOL
Drag Can Be Used In Maintaining Pub
lie Highways-They Are Easily
and Cheaply Made.

The most effective tool which can be
used In the maintenance of earth roads
is the road drag. The first drags were
made more than so years ago, but it is
only during the last few years that
they have come into general use. They
are easily and cheaply made, easily
operated and accomplish wonders If
properly used. Every mile of earth
road in the state of Texas should be
maintained with a drag, and If the
time and money wasted under the pres
emit system of working the roads"
(this does not mean that all time and
money so spent are wasted) were used
in dragging the roads, our states
would have some of the best earth
roads in America.

GROW LARGE CROPS OF OATS
Farmer Should Provide Feed for
Horses, Sheep, Cows and Other
Stock-PIan Is Outlined.

The farmer who raises horses and
sheep, feeds dairy cows and fattens
beef cattle, annually should grow
large crops of oats. They should get
ripe enough to be cut and bound by
the binder, so when dried out in the
shock the sheaves will not mold when
stored in the barn. These things at

Fed in this way, the stock eats up al
most all the straw, and the grain en-

MAJORITY OF US ARE BoREs
Many People Give Preference to Dis
cussion of Own Affairs Rather
Than to Other Fellows.

The Irish World gives the first test
of a bore, presumably for readers to
try on themselves, in these words:
DO you monopolize the conversation
wherever you go with breathless ac-
counts of your own affairs?
If let alone long enough the major
ity of us do. Our own affairs are so
much more interesting than the other
persons. 1t takes some wisdom and
considerable culture to subordinate the
self.
Under this definition, the baby is
sometimes a bore, but we forgive him
for we know that he has neither the
wisdom nor the culture to set his lit
tie self to one side 1t should not be
expected Of him.
But there is about the baby none of
the subtle deceitfulness of the old,
practiced bore who deftly turns the
conversation to his own exploits and
affairs. Baby simply takes of the
muller from his personal self. The
entire households attention turns at
once to his affairs. He monopolizes the
conversation with his GREATNESS ac-
count of his hunger or of his connec-
ton with the open safety pin-and
that is all there is to it.
The growing child frankly finds him.

SOME POTATO PARlNGS

Good seed potatoes. free of
blight and rot, are always worth
saving for ones own future
crop, or to supply others.
Feed the Gull potatoes to the
hogs. Cook the potatoes thor
oughly and mix with cornmeal,
shorts or bran. Skim milk Is a
good addition.
Grading potatoes for market
increases the possibilities Of
sales and raises the price re-
ceived. Keep the culls on the
farms and save the cost of haul

Potatoes add succulence to the
dairy ration. Where corn silage
Is not available and there are

avoid the possibility Of choking

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
 IS A SKIN WHjTENER
How to make creamy beauty lotion
 for a few cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained, into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, whitener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any drug store and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands.
