] Literature must be fade a part Of
children's lives by being associated
with their real interests. Then II will
"enter their souls with the music Of
the game" and the love Of books
that we, as parents, helped to instil
will abide. Concrete plans for the
early study of literature should be
worked out in the home. They should
be such as will appeal to child's
constructive and play activities, and
at the same time quicken his mag
nation and cultivate his love for
literature.
Building a children's library is i'm
portant. A child must own, see and
handle good books. Let him have a
shelf or q low bookcase that is all
his own. Let the library grow slow
ly. Prepare carefully for the addi-
ton Of each new book treasure so
that its arrival shall be preceded by
a period of intelligent and joyful. an
ticipation. Relatives and friends US
ually provide enough surprises. Deal
chiefly with the large, simple, per-
manent masterpieces of literature,
because neither you, nor the children
have time for much else. Children
are the busiest people in the world
and next to them come the mothers.
AS the years go on, child'e book
case may well contain Mother Goose,
Aesop, Bible stories, fairy and folk
tales and nature myths. Later will
come stories of adventure such as
the lad, Odyssey and King Arthur.
By this time the child will be able
to help choose his own heroes of
chivalry and romance, of science and
discovery. Poetry should have a
very honored place from the begin
ming. A. child of five can appreciate
Robert Louis Stevenson and Eugene
Field.
Kate Greenaway and a host Of
successors have devoted artistic
genius to illustrating children's
books, making them a joy to young
and old. It is probable that in the
case of most children of today their
first interest and joy in books is
associated with beautiful colored
plates. Baby sister, just two, adores
them and expresses her appreciation
with smiles, shouts and clapping of
hands. When she points to the man.

COTTONSEED MEAL HAS

Farmers who expect to finish cat

winter by feeding a ration compos-
ed mainly of silage and corn will
get the cheapest gains by adding cot
I touseed meal to the feed, according
to Wayland RhOads, beef cattle ex-
tension specialist at the College Of
Agriculture. This will be true in
spite of the fact that cottonseed
meal is high priced at the present
time. This problem in beef produc-
tion together with Several Others,
are answered rather definitely in re-
suits obtained last year by "a Ken

off clover hays is fed in addition
to silage and corn, an average Of
two pounds of meal for every 1000
pounds of live weight will give cheap
er and better gains as well as
higher finish. If no clover hay is
used in the ration then an average
feed of three and one-half pounds
of meal to 1000 pounds of live
weight is better. On the other hand,
If only corn and clover hay are used
in finishing the steers, cottonseed
meal will not produce profitable re-
suits during the coming cattle feed
ing season.
Steers on a feed of cottonseed
meal and cover hay need only one
half as much meal as they would if |
clover hay were left out of the ra-
ton since four pounds of clover hay
will replace one pound of cottonseed
meal.
"Corn should occupy an important
place in finishing steers during the
coming winter in view of the fact
hat it will be extremely cheap. At
20 cents a bushel, il win be selling
or $l6.SO a ton shelled or $14.02

he cheapest feeds which can be
