woman as the most beautiful object

the redeelning glory OF humanity. the
sanctuary of all the virtues. the pledge
of all perfect qualities OF heart and

the sins of men at the feet of women.
II Is because women are so much
better than men that their faults are
considered greater. A mans desire Is
the foundation Of his love but wom-

the light forever burns, the one star

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Cheap feeds, such as straw and corn
slower. have a place in the horse ra-
ton. For growing colts and for horses
doing hard work these roughages may
be fed in limited quantities, supple
mentary to a more nutritious ration.
A caution is timely in regard to feed
ing bulky roughages low in nutrients.
Horses have comparatively small
stomachs and their digestive anatomy
is in no way suited to handle a great
bulk of feed. Little nOurishment is
derived from a pound of such rough
age. and in maintaining a hard-work-
ing animal too great a bulk of feed
would necessarily be taken into the
body. 1t is therefore desirable TO COM
bine with limited quantity of slower
or straw sufficient legume hay, grain.
or other nutritious feed to meet the in
divldual requirements of the horse.
A small portion OF some laxative feed,
such as silage. roots, bran, or alfalfa,
may well be included in a ration con-
timing large proportion of corn
slower or straw.
Cottonseed meal has met with con-
siderable disfavor among horse feed
ers, but it may be fed in limited guam
titles If due care is exercised. 1t is

GROUND SOY BEANS FOR PIGS

As a supplement to cornmeal for
growing and fattening pigs, the Wis
consin station found that ground SOW
beans proved about 10 per cent supe-
rior to wheat middlings. figuring the
cost of the feeds as the same. The In
diana station compared rations of two
parts of cornmeal and one part or
soy-bean meal with cornmeal and
wheat middlings In equal proportions
and with FIVE parts of cornmeal and
one part of tankage for pork produc-
