RUNTY ANIMAL IMPROBABLE
Understood and undeveioped Animals
Usually Caused by Improper
Care and Poor Feed.

Niggardly methods of feeding and
airing for farm live stock are IN
profitable. This is one conclusion re-
sulting from an inquiry conducted by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture into the causes and proven
ton of runtiness among farm ami
mails. Seventy-tiye per cent of under
sized and undeEeloped animals, ac-
eording to summary of more than
700 opinions advanced by livestock
owners, are due TO inferior breeding,
inadequate or unsuitable feed, and
pests. such as parasites and insects.
The remedy is the better care of
better stock, and the cost of this
remedy, in the opinion Of practical
farmers, is much cheaper than the ex-
pense of continuing to raise under
sized and slow-maturing domestic
animals. Better raise one good cow
than two soor ones-a runt is nothing
but expense all Its life" This opinion,
which is typical of many others, is
from a Michigan dairyman. A thrifty
New Highlander sums up sentiment on
this topic with the remark, II find
cannot cheat the animal without
cheating myself"

LEGUMINOUs HAYS FOR COWS
Corn siIage Is Excellent Feed, but
Not Balanced one--Legumes
Furnish Protein.

prepared by the United states Department
OF Agr1culture.l
The best kinds OF dry roughage for
feeding dairy cows In connection with
corn silage or roots are leguminous
hays, such as alfalfa, red, crimson, or
aisike clover, and soy bean or cow
pea hay, In the opinion of experts of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. While corn silage Is an ex-
cellent feed, 1t is not a balanced one,
as 1T does not contain sufficient pro-
TEN and mineral matter to meet fully
the requirements of the COW. The
leguminous hays, In addition to be-
ing very palatable, tend to correct
this deficiency. They are also among
. the best and cheapest sources of
protein.
One or more of these hays can be
grown on practically any farm. In
addition to their value for feeding
purposes, they improve the soil in
which they grow. Hay from Canada
field peas, sown with oats to prevent
the peas from lodging, also makes
an excellent roughage.
Corn slower, sorghum, etc, also
find good market through the dairy
COW. This class of roughage is low
in protein, however, and when it is
used the grain ration must be richer
in this element.
No positive rule can be laid down
as to the quantity of dry roughage
that should be fed, but from 6 to IL
pounds day for each cow, in addition
to silage, will be found satisfactory
In most cases.
When the dry roughage is of poor
quality, such as coarse, woody hay OF
poor grade of cornstalks, large por.
ton can often be given to advantage
allowing the cow to pick out the best
and using the rejected part for bed.

Homily on Golf.

Men take up golf for the exercise
as a game it makes walking most in
teresting.
An inexperienced player going over
an eighteen-hole course will perhaps
cover FIVE miles. The more proficient
he becomes at the game the less he
walks, ergo, the less exercise he gets.
So, if you are taking up golf for the
exercise, what is the sense of becom-
ing expert and thus reducing the
amount of exercise? The answer is
that an American doesn't want tc be

herence to fnct,o that IL may be read

through his stories OF peasant life I'm

the life of the South German peasant,

After writing many stories of this

SON the Heights and other romanees

tendency, turning upon plots invented
by himselfs but with the exception of
aOn the Heights which has always
been a great favorfte, these romances
were not very popular.

beautiful, but abhorring those who in
the least digress from the straight and
narrow path, and intent above all else
in preserving her own immaculate
purity.
The lady of the bedchamber, Coun-
tess Irma Won Wildenort, daughter of
noble sire, who spent his life in i'm
proving his domains and serving his
neighbors, but who lived alone and
self-centered, leaving his children to
grow up with little of his advice and
not too much expression of his affec-
ton. DR.. Gunther, physician to t ,
queen, man Straightforward and
truthful, whose wife and daughters
never appeared at court.
These, with Countess Brinkinstein,
the high-priestess of etiquette and
decorum; Bruno, Countess Irma's
brother, and others who appear less
prominently, were the characters, the
intermingling of whose lives furnishes
a story of the expiating of sin, full of
u warning to those who are on the brink
of wrongdoing and replete with sug-
gestion to the self-sanctified.
The story opens with the birth of a
prince in the royal household. A
nurse from the Highlands is found in
Walpurga, wife of Hansai, an humble
! peasant, whom the queen kissed upon
4 her arrival. and this being so contrary
to the etiquette of the court, is taken
up by the scandal-mongers and record
ed in the newspapers, offending the
king and awakening his thought that
\ The queen is weak and sentimental.
Countess Irma, because of her Off
cial position, has access at all times
TO the young princes apartments and
i it is soon apparent that she is fast at
tanning royal favor. One day the
king lays his hand upon hers and
looks at her In such a manner that
Walpurga tells her it is improper, but
Is advised to attend to her own AFT
fairs, and the countess writing to a
8 friend, boasts that the king prefers
her above all others and that he has
given her feather from an eagle that
I he shot.
Later, when they are alone together,
the king asks the countess, If when
they are by themselves, he may call
her his "true comrade' and makes re-
marks implying that the queen and he
i are not in closest harmony.
The devotion of his wife, however,
lis abundantly attested by mighty

only makes him angry because he

also sends flowers every day to Coun-
tess Irna, who Is fiattered, but away
down In her heart she is offended,
and she writes her friend that she
