EARLY History of Butcheries.

The early history of this strange
section of East Africa should not be.
even if it could be, written. We
know the old-time black was as bad
as a barbarian can be, and the endless
tale of persistent, widespread and
continuous butchery would not be
good to read.
1.-The Zulus have had for centuries a
superstitious fear of salt water, and
so when Chaka, Dingaan and their
brother fiends had devastated practi-
cally all the country between Zulu
land and Inhambane. wiping out
kraa1s and even whole tribes by
scores, they came to a long chain of
lakes (the lower Inharrime) parallel
with the coast. and there they stop
ped, thus saving one tribe OF true.

Tribe Girls Dance.

The noise of the ankle rattles is SUP

similar ornaments.

MOZAMBIQUE ODD
COUNTRY Of AFRICA
Little Known. Region of Rich
Possibilities and Un-
canny Past.

1.-The war is over. but the necessity
for learning strange-sounding names
of new lands and peoples is far from
over" says a bulletin from the Ma
tional Geographic Society in Wash
ington, which predicts that the spot
light which has brought to view such
little known peoples as the Czechs,
the Croats and the Ukrainians in Eu-
rope now will be turned, in part, on
Africa.
Through the redistribution of CO.
lonial possessions and the removal of
the blight of German domination,
Africa bids fair to be the boom con-
tinent' Of the twentieth century"
With this introduction the society
announces a series of bulletins deal
ing with colonies of the erstwhile
Dark Continent" First of these is
Mozambique. which, it is explained, is
Portuguese colony to the south of
what was German East Africa, now
released from the imperial designs of
German African expansion. and there
fore extremity apt to play more con-
spicuous part in African development.

: LIVE STOCK NOTES

A tablespoonful of blood meal mixed
with little milk is very good for a
calf that has diarrhea or other diges-
tive disturbance. 1t is highly nu-
tritious for weak calf, too.
The keeping in repair of wire
fences Is necessary on the stock farm
and so the wire stretcher is handy
tool, both in repairing and building
new fences.
When oats cost no more than half
us much as corn the swine division
of the University of Illinois recon-
mends they can be fed profitably to
hogs.
Hogs are very sensitive to wind
and cold at night and will suffer just
as much as a cow or horse in cold
open houses.
The best results from feeding skim
milk to pigs are obtained when about
three pounds of it are fed for each
pound of grain.
Silage-fed cattle shed their coats
better in the spring and gain quicker
and faster than those fed dry rough
age.

Ensilage is good stuff to have, but
1t is not an all-arOund feed. Some hay

Calves will nibble at hay when they
are not more than a week old.
Cleanliness is quite essential for the
cah indoors.
Plenty of bedding Is needed for

Feeding Lambs for Early Market
Where lambs are to 90 to market
an effort should be made to get them
off early. Lambs make the best and
cheapest gains during the first four
months of their lives. A grain feed
fed in lamb creep arranged in the
field will prove helpful in pushing the
lambs along and keeping them in
good condition. This feed should
consist of corn, oats, and bran. Lambs
should be fed all but no more than
they will clean up each day. Never
put clean feed into the trough where
old feed remains.
Lambs weighing go to as pounds
make the most desirable market of
fering. The reason is that lambs of
this size dress out desirable mar

lambs do not sell so readily, and
when supplies are large there may be
small price discrimination in favor
of lambs under 80 pounds.
Growers will find that by following
a system of forage crops for rotation
of pasturage to prevent stomach
worms, and supplying grain feed in
a lamb creep to keep the lambs gain
ing steadily, larger profits can be
realized

Would Let The French

America is going to do her full part

are going to let France proceed in
her own way, asserts Edward Hun

New Red Cross Magazine, in which
he tells why various schemes for the

Hungerford, back of such real assis-

French people themselves. There is
no installing these last. The French

and their homes.
Long before the war was ended
certain groups of well-meaning but
implusive Americans began formulat-

intentions even better. But France

URGE USE OF FORAGE
CROPS TO FEED
LAMBS AND EWES,
Sheep Specialists Point Out Profits
In Good Grazing.

Because of the importance Of econ
omical feeding in profitable sheep
raising. the United States Department
of Agriculture directs special atten-
ton to opportunities for growing for
age crops as feed for lambs and
ewes.
The following general plan of
supplying this class of feed is sug-
gested by sheep specialists of the de-
partment. Early spring pasturages
iof wheat or rye may be used at the
start. These provide succulent green
feed appetizing to the ewes and lambs.
Overpasturing, however, must be a
voided when these crops are later to
be used for grain. Where il is pos
sible to keep the rye or wheat pas
|ture about 1H to 2 inches high, the
lambs and ewes seem to relish il more
and will consume larger amounts.
Oats and Canadian field peas may be
|sown together early in the spring at
the rate of ~ bushels of field peas
and IA bushels of oats to the acre.
This crop should then be ready when
it is time to take the flock off the rye
or wheat.
Rape, another good forage crop,
may be sown at the rate of to 8
pounds an acre and will provide later
pasturage, following the oats and
Canadian field peas. In sections where
soy beans and cowpeas grow salts
factorily, they furnish an excellent
midsummer pasture. If sowed later
they make a good forage crop in late
summer and early fall. When sown
in corn they serve as an excellent
supplement to the corn for fattening
lambs.
Well to Alternate Grazing
If pastured by alternating the graz
ing in different parts and not allow
ing any particular section to be too
closely eaten, a field of soy beans
may be used for a considerable time.
When most of the leaves have been
eaten, it is time to move to a fresh
portion of the field so that the plants
on the grazed part will have chance
to leaf again. In some sections, it
may be desirable to cut this growth
and use it for hay, especially when
other legumius hays are not available.
1t is good practice to sow rape at
the last cultivation of corn. The
lambs can then be turned into the
cornfeld in the fall and will feed up
on the lower leaves of the corn and
rape and make excellent gains.
Stomach Worms Controlled
Lambs not only make rapid and
cheap grain on forages of this kind,
but forage-crop system prevents,
to large extent, injury from stomach
worms. 1t has been demonstrated
that by changing lambs every two
weeks to ground not previously graz
ed that season, stomach worms can
be effectively controlled. Since this
condition exists, it is better to have
the pastures of convenient size, so
that the lambs and ewes will consume
