to have the picnic lunch on the cam

permission for the use of the drill

ed with delightful boxes of daintily
prepared luncheons fixed by Mrs. w.
A. Davis and Mrs. c. w. Sweet, whose
daughters have been attending the
kindergarten. Hot cocoa and ice
cream completed the menu and all
enjoyed the feast. A visit to the bio

little folks, the specimens of birds and
butterflies being especially interest

Silage and straw failed to prove a
wholly satisfactory basis sor winter

announced. 1t a lot of lambs to
which these products plus cotton
seed meal and ground kafir were
fed, very little growth was shown.
Where the ground kafir was omitted
there was an actual los.
insufficient protein in the ration
poor quality of silage, difficulty
shown by sheep in masticating straw
and a possible toxic effect of cotton
seed meal on lambs, were suggested
as reasons for the unsatisfactory re-
suits.
Somewhat similar rations gave al.
so unsatisfactory results in wintering
mature ewes. The addition of ground
kafir and bran in quantities of hall
pound each per day resulted in i'm
provement. Wheat straw, it was
pointed out, is evidently too bulky
and too low in food value to form
the basis of a sheep ration.

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take q glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-M Meat
forms uric acid.

If you must have your meat every dav.
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few DAYS
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys.

THE VALUE OF
STRAW AS FORAGE

Straw and silage-products which
can in general be marketed only
through feeding-are again empha-
sized as of big Importance to western
stock raising by the results of ex-
periments recently announced.
The usefulness of straw and silage
was shown particularly in tests in
volving winter rations for mature
cows and for growing steers. Headed
wheat straw was fed. Tests on lambs
and mature ewes indicated a def
cheney in protein in the rations and
difficulty on the part of the animals
In masticating wheat straw. The
matter will be checked up further
during the coming winter.
In making the test in wintering
mature COWS six lots were used. Each
cow in this test produced a calf last
year, hence none used went into the
test carrying any extra flesh. Cattle
In these six lots were fed as follows
Lot All the wheat straw they
would eat; Lot 2-All the wheat
straw they would eat and two pound:
of cottonseed cake per hear per day

tonseed cake daily. The test started
December 81, 1920, and closed April
20, 1921.
The lots at the end of the test
ranked as follows in point of thrift,
general appearance, and apparent
vigor; Lot 4, Lot 6, Lot 5, Lot 2,
Lot 3, Lot l.
The outstanding feature of the test
was the showing made by wheat
straw. The cows in Lot 1, which re-
ceived only wheat straw, lost prac-
tically nothing.
1t was pointed out that this ra-
ton cannot be accepted as entirely
satisfactory because cows that suck
lie calves during the summer are rath-
er thin when they came from pasture
! in the fall and should increase some
what in weight during the winter.
The cows in Lot 2, receiving two
pounds of cottonseed meal per day IN
addition to all the wheat straw they
would eat, increased in weight dur
ing the same period so pound per
cow per day. This ration under con-
ditions similar to those prevailing
during the past winter may be con-
sidered fairly satisfactory. The same
may be said of the ration fed in Lot
4 where the cattle received all the
wheat straw they would eat and 80
pounds of sorghum silage per day.
The best results, however,. were
secured where a combination of all
the wheat straw they would eat, 80
pounds of sorghum silage daily, and
two pounds of cottonseed meal daily
was fed. The ration consisting OF
sorghum silage alone which was fed
in Lot did not prove 10 be salts
factory. The COWS looked and seem
ed thrifty at the end of the test but
lost weight on the ration consisting
of 80 pounds of sorghum silage anC
two pounds of cottonseed meal daily

increase in weight.
From the standpoint of securing
some increase in weight on the pro
1'-"ing beef cow C'-~;r~ the winter
| season wheat straw alone and sor
ghum siluage alone did not prove tt
be satisfactory rations. However
while these cows did not increase any
in weight they will go to pasture il

The effect of the rations upon thu
number and development of chi
calves produced by these cows during
the year 1921 will be noted and re
ported. 1t is also planned to mari
these cows and feed each group tn
same ration again next year.
Not much difference was shown
between wheat straw and sorghum
silage as a winter ration for grow
ing steers. Wheat straw produce
a gain of 20 pounds per animal, silag
60 pounds. Previous tests hav
shown up better for silage. In eac
case each animal was allowed poun
of cottonseed cake daily.
The principal matter being tested
however, is whether steers wintere

OUR IDLE SHIPs.

Carrying Secretary Hughes's plan
of naval reduction a bit farther,
equalzatio. of the worlds excess. and
now idle. tonnage in merchant ships
with the normal demands of COM
nero : destroying them on a ma
tionaI pro-rata basis is suggested to
the joint committee of ship owners,
operators and builders by Capt.
Tompkins McIlvaine, editor of Ma
tionaI Service Magazine.
In a letter to J. r. Gordon. chair
man of the American merchant ma
rine joint committee, Mr.. McIlvaine
asserts that an artificial stimulation
of shipbuilding resulted from the war
and the two years of excessive buying
abroad which followed the signing of
the armistice. Much of this tonnage,
he adds, is now idle, and has been
for many l.onths. Americas share of
this tonnage, he says, represents q
cost of something like two billions Of
dollars, while only a small proportion
of the ships are in operation, the bal
ance lying at docks or at anchorage
deteriorattng in value and entailing
thousands of dollars a day in expense
for upkeep. calculations have
made. says Mr.. McIIvane, indicate
in general way that vessels of a size
for overseas service would, on an av-
erage eat themselves up by deprecia-
ton and expenses incident to tying up,
in perhaps five years. The great bulk
of the idle tonnage could not come
into profitable service within five
years is, I believe, the opinion of
those qualified to speak. I cannot
escape from the conclusion that there
is but one businesslike thing to do
with the idle tonnage, and that is to
destroy it-take the vessels out and
sink them, or fill ITEM with sand and
cement and use them as breakwaters,
since to keep them will cost more
than they are worth"
Concerted action of the worlds
shipping interests would be necessary
to bring about this equalization, he
asserts. Probably the greatest diff
Guilty in the way of this plan is the
fact that other countries find use for
their merchant ships while the United
States does not.

THE oUEsTIONER.

If you are constantly seeking new
knowledge, you add to your ability to
use what knowledge you have.
And it is only the thing we use
which belongs to us.
The questioner-or in better words,
the seekers nearly always a man
of sune and quick decision.
Like the great artist whose fingers
play the keys or strings of his instru-
ment, so does the man who is all the
time drawing on something new, find
himself growing ADLER and stronger. IN
mind and in character.
1t is the slow mind which is closed
to the atmosphere of new ideas and
truth. In ignorance, one is bound as
tho he were a slave. But thru seek
ing, searching, questioning do we come
to know the truth-and become free
and broad.
Be quick to question. But once the
facts seem clear and reasonable,
formulate your own ideas and opinions
and then defend them as a part of
you.
Your mind is a sieve, as well as a
retainer. You must thrash the false
from the true-and then garner into
your experience storehouse that which
is rich in life and nourishm ent.
Be a questioner! Accept no man s
opinion unless it is approved by your
own best judgment and experience.
But be tolerant. r The cock-sure
thinker loses most of his mental bat
ties. And he rarely has the courage TO
acknowledge defeat.
The only way for you to know-and
to know that you knows to keep
questioning all The time.
There is no thrill quite so hearten-
ing as that of learning something new.
And the more you search and question,
the more thrills you get!
Keep learning. Inquire. Ask ques-
tionS. Find out.

The Long Engagement-2.
An engaged couple are neither fish,
nor flesh, nor good red herring. They
are neither married nor single, neither
bound nor free, and they have all of
the disadvantages, and none of the
privileges of either state. They are
just near enough together to get a
clear view of all of each others
faults, and not so close together that
they are blinded by their very near
ness. Each feels that he or she has
claims on the other that he or she has
no way of enforcing, and so jealousies
and suspicious forever exist between
them.
Worse than all, just waiting wears
the fine edge off anticipation, and
when, at last, the long deferred mar
riage does take place, the bride and
rapture they expected. They have as
little appetite for it as we have for
the feast that has been delayed too
long.
The case is still more tragic when
the parties to a long engagement are
separated, when, as generally hap
pens, the girl stays quietly at home
while the man goes forth to adven-
lures in the great world, She changes

looks. She hardens in the mold of

ADAPT himself to new conditions. He
sets a fresh viewpoint. He is polished
by friction with other minds. He
learns to eat strange dishes, to see
new beauties, to have thousand diff
ferent standards from the ones to
which he has been brought up.
He is, to all intents and purposes,
a different man from the one who
popped the question to Maud, or Mary,
or Sally Jane on the night before he
left home, and asked her to wait for
him. She waited. She let years go by
in which she endured a sort of vicari-
GUS widowhood. She missed the pleas
ures of girlhood, because she had no
beau to take her to parties, and out
riding, and to theaters and to show
her the good time that the unat-
tached girls had. She was always
waiting for John to come back and
get her, and John knows it, and every
fiber of honor and manhood in him
makes him return and redeem his
promise, aItho he knows that he is
wrecking both their lives in doing so.
For he has outgrown her. She Is
no longer the woman he wants for
wife. She has nothing in common
with the men he has become. She
doesn't even love him as he is. She
loves the boy he used to be, and she
never understands the man he has be-
come. But they keep the long engage
ment, and live scrappily ever after
wards
The long engagement is always a
mistake. It is a handicap for the man,
and hoodoo for the woman. A wise
man never gives a woman blanket
mortgage on his future that she can

one of the remarkable circum-

promptly upon its Inauguration one
or the other or both of the parties to
the dispute begin to misrepresent tho
facts. The packing house strike is no
exception. The packers declare that not
more than 20 per cent of their men
have gone out while the strike leaders
insist that Approximately 80 per cent
have quit work. One side or the other
or both are not telling the truth and
both sides know it. What can they
expect to gain by disappearing the

who have been in this country a long
tine lobbying for independence of the
islands may as well shut up shop and
so home. They have been led into

thought of granting independence to
the Philippines never has been seri-

country. We shall be compelled 10

can do it more easily by maintaining
the status quo.
