LYNAM'S STORE
BY DANIEL MONAGLE.

When Christmas came and through the
trees,
Harsh howled the winter wind.
And merchants all both great and small
One object had in mind;
10 make their stock Of worldly wealth
BY profit yield them more.
There's one exception and that is
The cheerful Lyman store.
The owner has a bounteous heart
And believes in charity
That magic word so often taught
BY Christ OF Galileel
To help the needy In distress
Is his sole aim and plan.
And bind the bonds OF fellowship
OF man to fellow-man.
And so his aim Is not a thing
or profit or OF loss,
But prldes In all the members he
Can get for the Red Cross.
He knows no charity on earth
With II can e'er compare
To help the needy In distress.
Aut lVoif Nolu bul WIN ldIt.
When earthquakes spread their ruin
round,
And lay proud cities low,
When soldiers torn and bleeding lie
Beneath the trampllng foe;
And when calamity does flll.
The world with prospects drear.
The Red Cross steps unto the fore
And says, Friends, we are herei
We're here with willing hearts and
hands,
As Christ Of long ago.
To help the needy and distressed
No matter, friend or foe
We're here with charity and love,
To all mankind so dear.
We're here as angels from above
With words Of hope and cheerw
Then Lyman. friend. keep up the fight
More members 10 obtain;
Elsmere Is small but you've done well
So very much 10 gain.
And would that. like your noble self,
There were some millions more,
To emulate and initiate,

In PasQuils' "Jests," a book pub
lished in 1904. an amusing story is
told of a knight who gave a Christ
mas feast at which he entertained
his friends and the tenantry.
The host ordered no man at the
table to drink a drop "till he that was
master over his wife should sing a
CAROL" A pause ensued and then n
poor male, more daring than the
others, timidly lifted his lonely voice.
The knight then turned to the ladies',
who sat at a table apart, and "bade
her who was master over her hus-
band" sing q carol. The legend says
that forthwith "the women fell all
to singing. that there was never
heard such q catter.walling piece OF
w%usicke."

Why Good Cattle Pay.
Just to illustrate that it is about as
easy to discount the benefits Of good
blood in livestock breeding as it is to
try to dry up the ocean with a sponge,
mere are some figures concerning the
butcher standards Of a good and a
medium steer. In the case Of a good
steer the loin cuts, which are high
priced, constitute 16A per cent by
weight, as compared with 15h per
cent in a medium steer. The rib cuts
compose OK per cent in the better
class of steer and only TX per cent IN
the medium animal. The round, which

a%ristocracy is not nearly ex-
tensive enough in the United States
and, with a view to extending the kith
and kin of the first families widely
over the country, the United States de-
partment of agriculture is launching
it's drive for better live stock, which
was i%nauguratcd October 1.
Purebreds for Profits.
Purebred live stock is not the result
of foible and fancy Of the rich, for the
leading foundation families of the vari-
GUS breeds, for the most part, have
been produced and developed by prac-
tical farmers who farmed for a living
in either the old or the new world.
For example, Hugh Watson, the
founder of the Aberdeen Angus, was a
tenant farmer; Charles and Robert
Ceilings, who sponsored the Shorthorn
breed, were English countrymen of
medium finances, while the Tomkins
and the Hewers, who were fosterers
of the Whiteface in Herefordshire,
England, were merely working to pro-
duce beef animals of superior type
which would fatten more quickly and
cheaper than their predecessors. In
IL word, purebred live stock from hogs,
cattle, sheep, horses and dairy COWS
to goats and poultry, have all been de-
veloped for specific purposes, which
are intimately associated with the
etooLy f]ar,nar'S needs and reOuirp-
ments.
Uncle Sans big drive for better live
stock similarly is a campaign to pro-
vide for direct and urgent needs.
Farmers with surplus feed should de-
sire live stock Of the best type which
will most profitably and economically
convert these grain and forage sur
pluses into meat, milk, wool, mohair,
and eggs. Eliminating the scrub and
mongrel animal, live stock Of mo ac-
count family or breeding is one of the
greatest improvement steps which
possibly could be undertaken by the
live stock breeding and raising frater-
nifty of this country. Uncle Sam is en-
Enthusiastically behind the project and it
remains for farmers interested in
stock raising throughout the country
not only to boost for better stock, but
also to buy and use farm animals OF
approved type ard breeding, in order

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Estimates made by the United States
department Of agriculture show how
the 81, ,OOO, 600 pounds Of milk pro-
duced in the United States annually
are utilized. Forty-four and one-half
per cent is used for human food pur-
poses, while 36 per cent Of the gross
supply is converted into butter, and
AS per cent is made into cheese; an
other as per cent is transformed into
canned milk, 4 per cent is used In ice
cream making, 4 per cent is used IN
feeding calves and hogs on the farms
of origin, and 2.5 per cent is lost IN
shrinkage and other waste of tho
dairying industry.

cent in a medium steer, while the
chuck. a low-priced cut, composes "a
per cent of the good steer and 27A
per cent of the medium steer. The
miscellaneous cuts in the good steer
aggregate Ii per cent and only III
per cent in the medium steer. These
figures indicate that the good steer
carries Il greater percentage OF the
high-priced cuts and a lower percent
age of the medium-priced and cheap
cuts than does the medium steer, al
though the animals may be fed SIM
liar rations. This divergence in meat
makeup at market time must be at
tributed to breeding.
Two shipments of steers Which re-
Gently arrived on II of the large cen
trail markets also are Of interest in dis
closing the breeding facts. One lot OF
good steers weighed, on an average.
1856 pounds and sold at $3.50 a hun

averaging 81 per cent. These steers
carried OK per cent Of inside fat while

averaged in weight 936 pounds and
sold at $3.50. These cattle dressed

fat and cost % cents q pound when
dressed and ready for consumption.
Subsequently the meat from the good
steers sold for 1 cent a pound more
than that from the medium steers.
which resulted in an increased profit to
the butcher of approximately half a
cent a pound, despite the fact that the
good steers cost originally 2 cents a
pound more than the medium steers.
Furthermore, the inside fat was worth
considerably more in the good steers
than it was in their lower quality
mates. The well-brcd lot of cattle sold
for an average of $1S1.46 apiece, while
the poorer steers brought only $12S.O8
an animal, a difference of S53.3S q head
in favor of the better bred cattle.
Every Farmers Opportunity.
There is no possible reason why
farmers and stockmen should waste
their time and tie up and %jeopardize
! their capital in the purchase and feed
ing or breeding of inferior stock. The
supremacy Of the better-bred animals
;. is practically infalliblc. They, other
conditions being equal, will yield de-
. pendable profits which are as certain
v as the coming Of day after Il night OF

Why Blossoms Are odorous.

The blossom or flower is the fore
runner of the fruit or seed of plants,
as q general proposition. 1t is nee
essary that the insects and flies and
bugs and bees visit these blossoms to
carry the pollen from n to another.
The pollen is the floury stuff. like
golden dust. frequently, that you see
in the blossoms. This pollen is the
very life of the fruit or seeds, and it
err blossoms or there will be no seeds.
So the blossoms are odorous to at
tract the bugs and bees and insects
that are to carry the pollen from one
plant to another.

France is exceptionally rich in
carols, which are often drinking songs
as in many European countries. We
find many French carols translated into
English, no doubt as a result of the
intercourse which existed between
dwellers on either side of the channel,
in the days when English youths often
pursued their studies in France.

Carol Singing

ME custom of carol singing
out of doors at Christmas
time seems to be dying out.
This is a great pity, for
carols are n branch of folk music, the
unconscious art of the peasant mind,
q heritage Of inestimable worth.
In many English villages there are
carols peculiar to themselves, to be
