DEPENDENT ON OTHERS.

nID you ever stop to realize how
u dependent you are upon the
thoughts and efforts of your fellow
men?
Did you ever try to imagine just
what would happen to you if you were
left alone on this round globe with all
its wealth, all its resources and all its
possibilities?
1t might teach you a lesson in
humility if you gave it the proper con
sideratiOn.
The money would be worth nothing
to you for there would be no person
from whom you could buy.
You could not even be charitable
and give it away for there would be
none to accept it,
What would happen to you then
happens in a lesser measure every
day now.
Let us suppose you are a million
aire with plenty of money and desire
to spend it, we win say, for beauti-
full home
Suppose again that the masons and
the carpenters and the plasterers and
the hundred and one other artisans
whose handiwork go into a fine home,
refused to accept your money or do
your work. How would you get your
home?
You might by dint of hard work
build yourself a shelter, but it would
not be at all what you wanted nor in
the least what you could afford,
You see, then, that although YOU
were a millionaire, you are dependent
for your home comforts upon the will
ing efforts of others.
Suppose, on the other hand, that
you are a poor man, not poverty
stricken, but poor in the sense of mod
ern fortunes.
You have saved a few hundred dol
lars, bought a bit Of ground and wish
to build yourself a home.
In order to do it you have to bor-
row money. Suppose the bank, or the
building association, or whatever or
ganization you apply to just plainly
and bluntly refuses to loan you a
penny.
You will find yourself in the same
predicament that the millionaire was
in. You cannot have the kind of
home you want and can afford. You
are dependent on others for that.
Every morning when you eat your
breakfast you are eating, in part, the
labor of hundreds of men and women.
The clothes you wear, the shoes you
walk in, the hat that shelters your
head, all the necessities, to say moth
ing of the luxuries, you enjoy are the
fruit of your dependence upon other
people.
If yen could analyze your needs for
one day and count the human beings
that labored to satisfy them with

Grain in Medium Amount, Fresh Wa
ter and Pasture Are Necessary foI
Success With Calves.
feed part clover and part alfalfa fol
a few days. Gradually reduce the
amount Of clover and at the same time
increase the alfalfa.
8. Do not overfeed the calf. Feed as
much grain as it will clean up in 80
minutes and wish 1t had just little
more. Feed left in the trough to be
breathed over is worse than wasted
If any remains it should be removed
and less given the next time. Digestive
disorders occur from feeding too much
rather than too little.
A. Do not underfeed the calf. II
should make a continuous gain. If
it does not grow each day the feed
given it is about the same as wasted.
It never pays to starve a calf. In
fact, the calf does not begin to pay
for feed until it is given more than
enough to make some gain.
8. Do not annoy or disturb the calf
unnecessarily. 1t requires more feed
to keep it growing while standing or
moving about than while lying down
at rest.
6. Do not feed moldy, musty, OF
spoiled feeds. To do so may cause
serious digestive disorders. All hays
should be bright, well cured, and free
from mustiness. dirt, and coarse weeds
The grain also should be free from
dirt, mold, and mustiness. If ground
feeds get wet they are likely to mold
This is especially true of cottonseed
meal and ground corn.
Z. Do not waste time in feeding the
calf, or in preparing feed, since wasted
time needlessly increases the cost OF
gains. Grain should be fed whole ex.
cept when teaching the calf to eat and
possibly also near the end of the fit
ting or finishing period. Whole grain
as a rule is more palatable than ground
feeds. Ear corn may be shelled,
broken, or chopped up in the feed box
rather than ground. Husks on snapped
corn need not be removed for this pur-
pose. 1t rarely pays to shred stover
" to cut or ehaff hay for the calf.
need not be fed three times a day
q twice day will do as well, al
dough the former may be practiced
when fitting the animal for show or
sale. Do not go to the expense Of buy
ipg prepared "stock feeds" or creme
dies.p Home-mixed feeds are cheaper
and equally, if not more, satisfactory.
A healthy calf does not need condi-
tion powders.

Making a French Dictionary.

The official revision of the French
language, which is In the hands of the
French academy, has recently. made
great progress, and the first volume,
ending at the letter H, and forming
half of the eighth edition Of the die
tionary, has now been completed.
Some 24,OOO to 25,OOO words have now
been revised since 1878, that is, in,
43 years.
M. DOumic, who presided over the
sitting of the academy at which this
result was announced, states that it
is hoped to conclude the present edl-
tiOn about 1864, or eighty-six years
from the date at which the work
began.

when the little gums are swollen and

Water should not be iced but cool

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"zoUAVE."

DRIOR to the World war, one
1 of the most dreaded branches
of the French army was the
Zouaves, a corps which was fa-
nous for its reckless bravery
and fearless courage IS it was
conspicuous by reason of the
bright red and very baggy trous-
ers which it wore. The progress
of military science and the
great increase in the range of
modern rifles rendered the red
uniform a target for all sharp
shooters, so the scarlet trousers
had to be replaced by a less con
spicuous attire.
But the ZOuaves, as a corps.
continued to liYe up to their
reputation for daring-a reputa-
ton responsible for their name.
a somewhat more civilized rem
dering of the tribe-name of the
Zouaouas, an extremely warlike
nation in Africa. The first levy
of zouaouas was raised in 1880
by General Clausel and was
originally composed Of native
African soldiers with French Of
fcers. Gradually, the natives
were displaced by adventure
loving Frenchmen and, in 1S41,
the corps consisted of three bat
taliOns-eaeh one Of which has
carved a niche for itself in the
Partisan hall Of fame.

fancy poultry, blooded cattle will
prove paying fields. Girls who are
well-trained in such matters, and who
have liking for the work, can look
forward to success.
But an Important development that
may be helped by judiciOus advertis-
ing and education is the employment
of women instead of men in large es-,
adjustments that are given to the
raising Of fine breeds on large scale.
Once the women have proved their
worth in such positions they will find
it an interesting and profitable profess
sion.

NOT RESTING, JUST WAITING
Idiot Boy, According to Judge Gary,
Very Much Like the Rest
of the World.

Judge Gary was talking at a din
ner about the worlds industrial situa-
ton.
"All over the world" he said, 'labor
is earning more and producing less.
In England, for example, there are
more coal miners employed than ever
and the production Of coal is lower
than ever.
English labor reminds me of the
idiot boy.
"a farmer, out of pity, gave an idiot
boy a job. Then one afternoon the
farmer walked across his farm to see
how the boy was doing. He found
him lying on the grass under a tree
smoking a cigarette.
"'Well, Looney,' he said-the boy
was known as Looney in the village
well, Looney, what are you doing?
Resting?'
'Looney took his cigarette out of
his mouth and answered:
"'No, boss, l amt restin', cause
l amt tired. Tn just a-layin' here
waitin' for the sun to go down SOS

THINGS TO REMEMBER.

ORANGE JUICE a teaspoonful at

pulp, is a most delightful and refresh
ing drink for very young children. It
should be given neither before nor
Immediately after milk.
The acids in fruit play an important
role in destroying those germs which
create gases and cause auto intoxica-
tion. Fruit juices act on the kidneys
and at the same time are natural
laxative.

ENCOURAGE FENCE JUMPERS
DlIapidated Fencing Is Source Of Con,
stant Trouble for Owner Of

Half broken down fences help to
teach the cows to be fence jumpers.
Heifers that are constantly jumping
the fences in easy places are difficult
to break in later life and nothing is
more wasteful of time and patience
than constantly chasing your cattle
out of your neighbor's crops or your
own. Good fencing is necessary equip
ment for the dairyman and poor fenc-
ing is constant risk.

Feeding is an important factor in
developing a good breeding animal
Or a favorite in the show ring. There
are many points to be remembered
These points may be called rules OF
feeding, among which specialists OF
the United States Department of Ag
Tieulture give the following:
!. Provide variety of feeds at al
times, if possible. 1t is easier to sup
ply the proper amounts of the desired
nutrients which the calf needs Il
several different feeds are used. The
ration will also be more palatable.
2. Do not make sudden changes in
the feeds used or in the amounts Civ

feeds from, say. clover to alfalfa hay
