Two Things Sheep Must Have.

There Is q notion carried by some peo-
pie that because sheep drink but small
amounts at one time, they can get along
without water for long periods. This
ia not only entirely wrong but brutally
cruel. Sheep should have access to
plenty of good, fresh water and that
doesn't mean allowing them to drink
from stagnsnt pools in the pasture.
There are too many dangers in this dis
ease carrying water. Besides 1t may
cause digestive disturbances which bring
on securing. One old fellow once told
me that because sheep like to feed early
in the morning, the dew on the grass
provides sufficient water. A fine way OF
excusing ones ignorance and laziness!
No sir, juniors. The cheapest way 10
the correct way. Provide plenty OF
good, fresh water.
And salt! Oh, how cattle, horses and
sheep crave salt when they haven't had
apy for q long time. Since salt is so
necessary to the welfare of these animals
vhy not use common sense and judg-
ment again. II we do that, salt will be
kept where they can get at it any time
of the day. 1t may be all right to furnish
cattle and horses salt couple Of times
each week. That's simple matter be-
cause that can be done in the stable very
easily. A..
But since sheep usually spend the
summer In the pasture, they are liable
10 be neglected and sslted only occasion
ally or not at all. And when they are
saited, they eat too much, causing them
to drink large quantities Of water. Ger
tsiply that is not good thing for them.
The best way is to keep salt before them
always, for Ii surely adds to their com

Feeding Grain ON Pasture.

The records which we are now getting
from Indiana COW testing associations
prove that it is economical to feed some
grain along with the pasture. Especial.
IL is this true now that the pastures are
becoming somewhat shorter than they
were month or so ago. 1t is practical
ly impossible to make q grain mixture
that will balance pasture grass for an
entire summer because in the early
spring pasture grass contains much more
protein than later in the season. In
addition droughts affect the growth OF
the different grasses, and as result diff
ferent grains are necessary to properly
balance the ration at different times.
The best feeds to use along with the
pasture are corn meal, wheat bran,
ground oats, gluten feed and cottonseed
meal. In the early part of spring the
mixture can be made up with little OF
no high protein feeds and then when the
milk dow begins to decrease the higher
protein feeds should be added to the
mixture and the grain fed gradually
increased.
In another month, when the pastures
are wholly insufficient, silage should bs
fed together with grain mixture thai
contains as much high protein feed as i;
fed in late winter. From three to si1
pounds of grain daily are the limits mosi
commonly used in feeding grain to cows
on pasture. However, as much as ter
pounds of grain may be proftably fed
in the case of large producers.
It would be advisable to use a mix
ture consisting Of four parts Of corn
barley, or gluten and two parts OF whea
bran or oats when the cows are frs
turned out to pasture in spring, then a
the season advances, cottonseed meal OF
oil meal should be gradually added unit

parts of bran or oats; and one part o.

THE ~ SOUGHT SERVICE, NOT
fame" SAYS GEORGE ". PERKINS
Chairman of War Work Finance Committee returns home and
reports fully monumental and efficient organization
reared by Y. NJ. c. A. for service to A. E. F.

this number could have been 80 care
fully selected that each one would
have been a star performer; that
working in this way, the Y. NJ. C. A.
could have made a pronounced sue
cess and would have had no criticism.
Had the Y. M. C. A. followed such
a course, it would clearly have been
thinking much more of its own repu-
tation than Of the service 1t could
render. It is obviously ridiculous to
say that the Y. NJ. c. A could have
performed greater service with 500
very competent men and women than
1t performed with 11.000 or 1000 men
and women. some Of whom proved
incompetent.
"The Y. NJ. c. A. never solicited
money for the purpose Of giving away
its canteen supplies. II the Y. NJ. c. A.
had given away canteen supplies In
France on the scale of its sales. it
would have spent in this activity alone
at least as much money as It's entire
expenditures in France for all Its
activities. The constant policy Of the
Y. NJ. C. A. was to sell canteen sup
plies as nearly as possible at cost.
and to bend every effort, when fighting
was in progress, to furnish the men
at the front with supplies free OF
charge where it was at all possible
to get the goods to them
"The Y. M. G. AS definite program
in Europe from the beginning, and
continuously, has been to bend every
effort and use every dollar It could
obtain to occupy the leisure time of
the soldiers, and to do this with vart-
Gus forms of entertainment, athletics,
worth while educational activities, etc.
Can there be any doubt that every
father and mother, every wife and
sister, and the men themselves, viii
approve the Y. NJ. c. AS course In
this respect? Is 1t not infinitely better
to do everything possible to occupy
the leisure time and to I'LL the long
dreary evenings of the soldiers than
to use the money in giving away a
larger quantity Of cigarettes. choco-
lates and other similar articles?
1.-The Y. NJ. C. A tried to respond to
every call that the Army made on 1t
It never hesitated to tackle any job
it was asked to undertake.; It did not
sidestep any task it was asked to
perform. It took the position that 1t
was in Europe to do all it could, as
best it could; that when It was called
ON to render service Of any kind, its
duty was to respond in the same spirit
that the soldiers did, and not hold back
because adverse circumstances might
make 1t impossible to meet with max
imum success. The Y. sought service,
not fame. Surely every contributor OF
money will approve the Y. II c. AS
course in this respect.
1.-THE vast work it has accomplished
and is accomplishing in Europe can
never be gauged at its true worth ex-
cept by those who have seen 1t In its
entirety. Whatever imperfections may
have existed the results achieved are
unauestionahly 50 beneficial as to be
source of deep satisfaction to those
who 30 unselfshly served the cause
and those who so generously contrib
uted the funds that made the work
possible."

CaterpIiIars Again Eat Maine Beans

Caterplilars Again Eat Maine Beans.
In zoos. a green caterpillar with the
looping gait common to measuring
or part OF the state, in many localities
stripping the bean vines bare of foliage
and pods.
Since that time little or no damage has
been charged to this insect until recently
when specimens were received from the
vicinity of Portland together with a re-
port which would seem to indicate that
the striped green bean caterpillar is pre-
pairing to enjoy another mess of Maine
beans.
If bean growers, therefore, prefer to
harvest their crops themselves il would
be well to examine the vines In order to
find out whether such plans are being
foresIslled by slender, hairless, green
cstsrpillsrs, pale with darker Longitude
nal stripes, measuring when full fed a
little more than an inch In length. They
hump along as they walk and, at the
slightest touch Of the vines, give series
of violent jerks which land them on the
ground. Their contortions are laugh
able even when their depredations are
serious. Their habit of jerking off from
the plant would seem to make killing
them on the ground practical, or in gar
dens to which hens have access, merely
shaking the infested vines for the benefit
of the hens might prove sufficient rem
edy. When abundant upon she'll beans,
the caterpillars may be destroyed by
spraying with srsenate of lead (paste)
pounds in 100 gallons of water. On
snap beans tobacco dust is sometimes
recommended to drive them from the
vines.
When full caterpillar growth is attain
ed, the lsrvs enters the soil to pupate,
the pupa being pale yellowish brown and
a bit less than 1-2 inch long. The moth
emerging from the pupal case is light
brown with an expanse Of about an inch.
The moths are on the wing for about
four months during summer and early
fall.-Chss. D. Woods, Director.

the question Of which was the more
intelligent, man or woman. Seven
year-old Dorothy was emphatic In her
belief that woman was the superior OF
man, and nine-year-old Joe was quite
as convinced that man was the wiser

of mothers accomplishments, ending
with her mending ability.

George W. Perkins OF New YORK,
chairman Of the finance committee OF
the War Work Council of the Y. M.
c. A, has just returned from Europe,
where he spent over four months In
making a thorough investigation OF
the work done by the Y. NJ. c. A.
Chairman Perkins report is an i'm
pressive exhibit of the prodigious
service rendered by the great organ1z-
alton in all directions in the war Land,
and members and friends Of the AS
sociation may well feel that its big
task was well done. In his summary
Perkins says:
mo higher tribute could be paid to
the work of the Y. NJ. c. A. than that
which is now being paid by the Army
itself, for it is either taking over or
largely cooperating in the work OF
continuing and enlarging the activities
instituted by the Y. NJ. c. A. at the
beginning Of its work in Europe.
After the armistice was signed, it was
neither necessary nor practical to
keep the soldiers at military drill
every day. Our men had not intended
to enter the army as permanent call
ing. They had simply gone into the
war to whip Germany. When the job
was finished, they were through, and
they wanted to come home immedi-
ately and get to work at their civilian
occupations. There were more than
1000, 900 of them scattered through
France and Germany. The great
question was how to occupy the time
of these men, how to give them
healthy occupation and at the same
time prepare them, at least In some
degree. for the work they were to take
ND on returning home. The army at
once turned TO the Y. NJ. c. A. for help
in solving this problem. General
headquarters assigned many high Of
ficers to cooperate in the work the
Y. NJ. C. A. was carrying on IN atm
letics. entertainment and educational
activities.
The Army has not taken over the
M. C. AS athletic and entertain
ment departments. but the officers OF
the Army are now closely associated
with the Y. NJ. c. A. directors OF
these activities, and the two organ1za-
tons, working in close cooperation.
are today shaping the policy OF en-
tertainment and athletic activities, the
Y. NJ. C. A. furnishing the money,
and the Y. NJ. C. A. and Army joint
" furnishing the personnel. believe
that the beneficial effects OF the edu-
cational program laid down by the Y.
M. c. A., and the athletic activities 1t
has carried on, have been so far
reaching that the War Department
will hereafter continue these activities
in our army in times Of peace as
well as IN times of war, for many Of
fcers have told me that the beneficial
effect of these activities on the morale
of the army could hardly be measured.
Germany had nothing of~thfs sort IN
its army, and it's absence caused a
great loss in the morale Of its men.
"One critic of the Y. NJ. c. A. in
France stated that in his Judgment
the outstanding mistake made by the
Y NJ. C. A. was in trying to have
too large a staff OF workers; that the
Y.M. C. A. should have limited itself
n a staff of 500 men and women; that

sigh of greet relief with each succeed

daughter and that Insignificant Pres

Uncle William was delighted to have
his favorite niece with him.
"Do you shiny car about as well
as ever1" he asked, pinching her rosy
cheek.
"When Mumsie lets me out, but she's
so afraid I'll smile on some man a few
cents less than millionaire that she
rarely lets me drive alone"
"Well, you can 60 alone here all you
like, and when you get tired Of driving
the car yourself we'll advertise for a
chauffeur"
One day soon after this an idea
popped into Mildred's little brown head
which refused to be silenced, and she
remarked casually to her uncle:
II had letter from Mumsie this
morning she's about ready to whisk
me home again. There's brand-new
millionaire In town."
Bother take the millionaires. Ineed
you here"
well put off the evil day as long as
possible, uncle, but don't you think
we'd better get the new chauffeur and
let me break him In before have to

"Well, maybe, but you tend to 1t
put the ad in and then I'll interview
the scamps as they come along"
OF course it couldn't have been Mil
dred's fault that there was onl! one
applicant in answer to their advertise
ment, and If Mildred was just wee bit
nervous when the applicant was being
interviewed Uncle William meyer ap-
peared to notice it. Mildred proceeded
to 'break in" the new chauffeur with a
vengeance, but II uncle noticed any
growing intimacy between the two he
made no comment.
Finally, Mildred decided to take Un-
Gle William into her confidence. The
animosity between him and her mother
was thoroughly mutual, and she was
reasonably sure of his being a strong
ally in any project which was some
thing Mrs. Hastings did not want.
81 suppose you've guessed, uncle
dear, that Mumsie sent me here to get
me away from man she didn't uker'

"Um-er-perhapS."
"Well, she did. and he's the very

"Who is this paragon, anyway"

do most things he desired. One day
the children, with their little cousin,
Edward, decided to draw pictures. Ed
ward and John each found a pencil,
but Ruth was still without one until
her mother came to her aid with q
big new pencil. John, whose pencil was
a blue stub, looked longingly at the
new one and then, in a coaxing voice,
said: "Ruthie, don't you want TINS
nice pretty blue one? 1t just matcnes

cured the long pencil.
