ance ration could be fed almost from
the ensilage alone. In fact, | have
known cattle to gain on rich ensilage
without any other feed. But where
the corn is pulled before filling the
silo, the ensilage is rather wide ration
for the sole ration. 1t would be
more economical to buy little cotton
seed meal even at SIT. per ton an@
feed from II to 2 pounds per head
a day, and keep the steers in gooe
living thrifty condition. If you have
too many steers to allow you to dc
that, it would be better to sell off
part, and keep the rest in better con-
dion.
With hogs it is still more important
that the feed be kept up, when once
really stunted, he never gets back t.
I strong vigorous condition. He
needs pushing until you get him o.
the market. Do not try to make corn

make YOU much cheaper gains. L
you are carrying stock hogs, make
some racks and give them alfalfa o.
soy bean hay. 1t will prove as prof
table as feeding the hay to your
horses or cattle, for it furnishes the
lime and protein, and keeps the hogs
in good breeding condition. A little
tankage should be fed to the breed
ing hogs 1t is even more essential
that the breeding hogs and vounp
pigs ret it than that you feed It te
the feeding hogs, while it paws tc

ciate tankage Just as the cattle mer
do cotton seed meal, for it bears the
same relation to profitable feeding.

Mr. Thomas of Okalona, Mississippi
spent two days of last week looking
over the farm lands and herds of
Angus cattle and Poland China hogs
of Blount county. Mr.. Thomas is an
Angus breeder of the black belt of
Mississippi, but hearing of what the
August and Poland China men were
doing in this county, he sold his farm
and is anxious to locate here where
he has organization and force behind
the work. He was we'll pleased with
the outlook, and is planning to come
back soon to look for the location.
We would like to have any number
of men of that type come into the
county not that we want to sell a
farm at a high price. In fact the
man who takes advantage of a real
breeder or farmer who comes in ex-
pecting to make his home here and
live with us instead of specializing on
the property, is injuring the county
and IS doing society an injury if he
oversells man like that type.
With feed so high there will be q
great temptation to cut down the
amounts of feed which we are giving
to our livestock and thus hold the
bills to the usual amounts spent in
carrying our stock through the win
ter. 1t sounds well sometimes. es-
pecially when we figure our imme-
date income and outgo, but it is an
ursound policy, and will loose money
for him who practices it. Men have
been known to Just barely keep their
steers alive during the winter expect
ing to gain it all back on the grass in
the spring and make good returns.
Too often the animals are SO weak
ened by the starving process that
when spring comes they have no
vigor to withstand disease, to rustic
and get grass and some never live to
yet the benefit Of the pasture grow
ing for them. Even stocker cattle
should be well maintained during the
winter and it is better to have them
. little on the upgo rather than
shrinking. Nearly every cattle mar
in the county has a silo, and were the
silos filled with corn and cain with
grain on the corn put in, mainten.

The Compromise
By Winifred Black

selfish. calculating old bachelor.
that's all.
There's nothing mysterious about
his not mentioning marriage.
He's very comfortable as he is,
thank you-why should he assume
new responsibilities?
Why set up housekeeping, az n
considerable expense, when he can
get all the comforts of home without
spending a cent?
He binds you. dear girl. by the
compromise OF his attention. and
leaves himself perfectly free to
change his mind and marry some
body else at the last minute, when
you are faded and he is tired Of you.
There are lots of such men in the
world, but, thank goodness. there
are not many such girls as you. II
there were, there wouldn't be half
the ringing of the wedding bells
that there is.
Don't be at home when the Steady
Caller calls, or If you are at home,
see that somebody else is with you,
and that the somebody else doesn't
go till the Steady Caller has gone,
too-be sure of that.
Pack up your trunk and make a
little visit TO some friend in another
town. Don't say that you're going
till the last minute, treat it all very
casually. and when you get there
don't write. or if you do write, drop
him a note and tell him you're hav-
ing a lovely time.
Give him a dose of his own medi-.
cine. and it may bring him to time.
If it doesn't-put him out Of your
mind and out of your heart, and
don't think of letting him monopO-
lie you until your youth is gone
and your beauty is faded and no
body else wants you, and you haven't
the heart left to want anyone else.
Make Him Wake Up.
Your father ought to have inter
fered a year ago-or two years ago.
Nobody in the world but an old
fashioned American father would
think of allowing any one on earth
to compromise his daughter in any
such way as that.
It's time we Americans learned a
little common sense from the French
and the English and the Italians and
the rest of the world.
I hope you'll meet somebody else
when you go away on your visit and
have a wedding before you come
back to your home town.
The receipt of your wedding card
might wake the Steady Caller from
his selfish. calculating dream of get
ting everything and giving nothing.
don't believe a man like that
could ever make any warm hearted,
affectionate, generous girl happy il
he did marry her-not if he tried a
thousand years.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-01-28

He's been coming to see her every
Saturday and Wednesday evening
/ for four years.
Whenever the little set TO which
/ they both belong gives a party. He
takes Her as a matter of course.
If there's a picnic they go to-
gether, and on Sunday nights he
takes her home from church. Some
times he comes for dinner Sunday,
and they spend the afternoon read
ing, or if the weather is pleasant
they take a walk.
The man is older than the girl by
several years.
He has a good little business in a
thriving little city. and to all ap-
pearances he is perfectly able TO
manage.
Two years ago he tried to kiss the
girl goodnight. but she told him
that she was saving all that kind Of
thing for the man she would marry
some day.
Since that he has been merely
friendly. The man has a good rep
utation, a good position, and seems
TO be a sensible, practical sort OF
chap. There is no doubt in the world
that he is very fond OF the girl, but
he has never asked her TO marry
him.
And now the girls father is TAX
ing a hand in the affair.
The other day father told daugh-
ter that either she must announce
her engagement TO the man or the
man must stop compromising her
with his attentions. She tried TO go
out with other men, but that just
made the Regular Caller call a little
oftener, and be little more devoted
he seemed jealous, but didn't say
marry" once.
Is This His Plan?
Every one is teasing the girl about
the man, and the other night she
plucked up courage to say to him
that she hated to be gossiped about,
and the man said that he had been
"jollied" so much that he never paid
any more attention TO what people
said-and now the girl is fairly des-
perate and has written to me to ask
me what in the world TO do.
She loves the man and she thinks
the man loves her. But why doesn't
he ask her to marry him?
Her mother is dead, and she's
afraid her father will do something
disagreeable.
Here's my answer:
Don't be afraid your father will
do something disagreeable, little girl.
He can't do anything disagreeable
enough 10 a man like that.
How in the world can you love
such creature?
He's just a cautious, conceitei,
