controlled. Since this condition ex-
lists, it is better to have the pastures
of a convenient size, so that the lambs
and ewes will consume all the forage
in a period of about two weeks and
again be turned on new pasture.
This does not allow the use Of sec
ond growth. The ground can then be
plowed and second crop seeded to
afford later forage crops.
Where lambs are to go 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 he
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 70 pounds
make the most desirable market offer
ing. The reason is that lambs of this
size dress out desirable market car
cass, which can be more readily han
died by the butcher, in meeting the de-
mands of his trade. Heavier lambs do
not sell so readily, and when supplies
are large there may be small price
discrimination in favor of lambs under
so 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 gaining
steadily, larger profits can be realized.

SONG OF THE BOY SCOUTS.

Did you call, o fair Columbia,
Did you call us in your need?
Far and wide the summons sounded
We are here your wish to heed.
Use US, gentle mother. use u.s.
In the way that you think best;
Nothing makes our hearts feel Hghter
Than to serve at your behest
Fathers. brothers. uncles. grandsires
Paid in full their debt to you.
Tell us, loving mother. tell us.
What is there boy can do?
He can't go TO fight your battles
Ger the wide seas whitening foam
But he'll grow and be soldier
And protect you here at home.
You still need the heart that's loyal,
You still need the helping hand.
Here we come. million brothers,
All united in one band
We can guard the precious banner
That our brothers died to save,
And a sons unselfish devotion
We can give as heroes gave.

SCOUT TRAINING SAVES LIFE

The training which Is being impart-
ed to youngsters in scout khaki is OF
the sort that may be brought into
play at any hour or minute in the
daily routine of boy life.
Scout Morgan Coyte of Troop No. 1
and Scout George Petrie of Troop No
3. both of Ridgefield Park, N. j.,
pitched their tent near New Bridge
along the Hackensack river. Having
satisfied their appetites the scouts
turned in for the night. Scout

Very quickly he realized that it was
venomous snake of the copperhead
variety, and instinctively he thrust
his arm upward to protect his head
and neck.
He had not done so too quickly. how
ever, for the reptile had sprung for
ward, burying its fangs deep into the
protecting arm, withdrawing as quick
ly and wriggling off into the shrub
berry along the river bank.
Young Coyte awakened his COM
panion and they improvsed a tourn-
iquet from his handkerchief and
small stick. Realizing that the wound
was not flowing freely enough he cut
into and around the bite until it bled
profusely.
Emptying the contents of cart
ridge into the break in his flesh, he
applied flame to the powder and with
stood the temporary pain. 1t was lat
er determined that he had success
fully offset the possibility OF fatal
result through his commendahle pres
ence of mind. He had burnt all trace
of poison completely from his arm
and in few days was again back
at his job, none the worse for his
experience.

ECONOMICAL FEED FOR SHEEP
Keep Plants Growing and Pre-
vent Stomach Worms.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Because Of the Importance of eco.
nomical feeding In profitable sheep
raising. the United States department
of agriculture directs special attention
to opportunities for growing forage
crops as feed for lambs and ewes.
Early spring pasturages of wheat or
rye may be used at the start. These
provide succulent green feed appetiz
ing to the ewes and lambs. Overpas-
turing, however, must be avoided when
these crops are later to be used for
grain. Where it is possible to keep the
rye or wheat pasture about 11a to two
inches high, the lambs and ewes seem
to relish it more and will consume
larger amounts. Oats and Canadian
field peas may be sown together early
in the spring at the rate of IN bushels
of field peas and 1h bushels of oats
to the acre. This crop should then he
off the rye or wheat.
Rape, another good forage crop, may
he sown at the rate of six to eight
pounds an acre, and will provide later
pasturage, following the oats and Ca
madam field peas. In sections where
soy beans and cowpeas grow satisfac-
torily they furnish an excellent mid
summer pasture. If sowed later they
make good forage crop in late sum-
mer and early fall. When sown in corn
they serve as an excellent supplement
tn the corn for fattening lambs.
If pastured by alternating the graz
ing In different parts and not allowing
any particular section to be too closely
eaten, field of soy beans may be used
for considerable time. When most
of the leaves have been eaten it is time
to move to fresh portion of the field
SO that the plants on the grazed part
will have chance to leaf again. In
some sections 1t may be desirable to
cut this growth and use 1t for hay, es-
pecially when other leguminous hays
are not available.
1t is good practice to sow rape at
the last cultivation Of corn. The lambs
can then be turned in the corn field in
the fall and will feed upon the lower
leaves of the corn and rape and make
excellent gains.
Lambs not only make a rapid and
cheap gain on forages of this kind, but
a forage-crop system prevents. to a
large extent, injury from stomach
worms. 1t has been demonstrated that
by changing lambs every two weeks to
ground not previously grazed that sea
son, stomach worms can be effectively

recent happening in Cincinnati when
a Bourbon county man, Frank Mum
son, of near Hutchison, killed Will
liam Foley, the particulars of which
are we'll remembered by the public:
mot long since a Bourbon county
man followed his wife and another
man to Cincinnati and catching
them in room together poured hot
shot into him and stilled his amor
GUS activities for all times. He was
arrested and has since been in Jail
till Saturday, when the grand jury
failing to find an indictment against
him, he was discharged. The failure
to indict made the presiding Judge
very wrothy and he delivered him
self thus: You have freed a, man
upon the 'unwritten law when his
only defense in law could have been
insanity or self-defense," declared
the Court. Undoubtedly your SYM
pathies got the better of your sober
judgment, but such actions only
serve to bring discredit upon the
Courts Very truly; alas too true"
