MILK HELPS YOUNG ANIMALS
Skim Milk and Other Creamery BY.
Products Are Useful Feeds for
Pigs and Calves.

While whole milk is natures bal
anced food and is valuable for young
animals, skim milk and other creamery
by-prOducts, such as buttermilk and
whey. are also useful feeds, say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Skim milk Is
fed to young pigs in the proportion of
about three pounds to one Of concen-
trates. such as cOrnmeal or shorts.
Buttermilk,: which has not been d.
luted too much with water, has nearly
the same feeding value as skim milk.
1t lisa better food for swine than for
calves because it is apt to cause d.
gestive disturbances when fed to the
latter, unless considerable! care is
used. Whey is used almost exclusive
ly In feeding swine. 1t is about two
thirds us valuable MS skim milk as a
food. Accordingly from ten to twelve
pounds of whey are equivalent to one
pound Of grain. Sweet skim milk,
when supplemented with other feed
such as corn meal or wheat shorts. is
very good for young calves. If beef
calves are TO be fed skim milk. they
should be fed in practically the same
manner as dairy calves.

ers' Bulletin 118s. Varieties Of Win
ter Wheat, Adapted to the Eastern
United States, which charts localities
in which various types Of wheat can
be grown to advantage, and lists the
varieties adapted to each particular
locality. e
The bulletin suggests that there is a
large local demand in New England
for wheat as poultry or stock feed,
and It should not be difficult for sever
al farmers in almost every neighbor-
hood to sell all the wheat they can
raise at 9 good price to their neigh
bors. Winter wheat will doubtless
tprodnce better average yields, where
sit can be. grown, than spring wheat.
e proper cultural methods and suit
able va ieties are used.
d Improve Wheat Yield.
q Wlleats can be improved In yield and
In other desirable characteristics by
the selection. Of good heads or good
plants from the general field and grow
ing the seed from each Individual head
or plant in separate rows. Continued
selection will result In constantly I'M
proved seed. Another method Of puri-
tying q variety and increasing the
Weld is what may be called mass se-
lection. This consists simply, in pick
ing out good heads from the field at
large, sowing the selected seed IN a
small area, and reselectihg It the next
harvest time. The bulletin may be
had on application. Il; sSs

breeds reported are. in the order
stated, Plymouth Rocks, Leghorns,
Rhode Island Reds, Orpingtons and
Wyandottes. Barred Plymouth Rocks

ties in the breed. OF the Leghor1s

Since the introduction Of the hardy
varieties of wheat from southeastern
Europe there has been a decided north
ward movementaO of, the, winter-wheat
area. This movement has been rapid
IN recent years. The reasons therefor
IRE the generally large yields of win
ter wheat due, first, to Its earlier ma
sturity, thus enabling 1t to escape hail,
hot winds and disease; second; to its
greater drought resistance; and third,
to the better division of labor, which
sitSallows through fall seeding and ear
Her harvesting. s.=
The profitable production Of wheat
in the eastern part of the United
States depends to considerable ex-
tent on the choice of the best-adapted
varieties. In general, the soft red
winter wheats are grown, although soft
white winter wheats are popular in the
northeastern United States, especially
In New York and Pennsylvania. In
the extreme western portion Of the
eastern area, which is limited on the
west approximately by the line Of
80 inches of rainfall. hard red winter
wheats Of the Turkey type. are grown.
Along the line Of 80 inches rainfall
there is a transition zone in which
hard and soft red winter wheats sue
coed about equally well. 81 S. J.
Better Varieties for Many Farms

poorer varieties Of wheat than they

The Missing Pares.

Dear Uncle Jed: Once upon ~a. time there lived a boy who used to sEl books and papers. He was very poor and he did not have any father and for his breakfast he had hardly a cup of coffee or milk.
 A woman came to buy some books but she said Your books are dirty" This was not the boys fault. A little while after a man who was waiting for his train looked at his books and said "Pve been longing for this book but could not find it." He had 25 cents on each book tor profit and thought what beautiful treat he would make, for his mother. The man took it and afterwards the boy look ed at the book and said, 70, Mister, there are four pages missing in that book. l will sell it to you halt price because of the missing pages" The man said noth. | ing and asked his boss what kind of a ] boy he was, and he told him.
 After that he went to his mother and | gave the boy and his mother good posi-. tions at S2o and s30 month for his hon | esty and because he was kind. THERESA ADAMS, Age 10, | Taftvilie.

 years England had laid a tax upon tea.

 their tea drinkings. As cheap as British tea was no true patriot would drink it.. By December 1, three tea ships had sail ed up the harbor and anchored at Griin's bay. The patriots were determined that the tea should never be landed. By law ! no loaded ship could remain in the harbor
 over twenty days.
 On December 16th the last of the twen- ] ty days, over seven thousand people ga- thered in and around the Old South Meet Ing House, and to stay all night, If pos sible. It was growing dark and candles
 had been lighted. Still the thousands
 waited quietly in their places. Then amid profound stiffness, Samuel
 Adams arose and said, This meeting can do nothing more to save our country '' Almost as an echo to ilis words, fifty men dressed as Mohawk Indians hurried by the church and down to the bay. There

The Squirrel.

Dear Uncle Jed: am going to write you story I wrote all myself. Once there was a squirrel that was afraid of boys He always tried to hide. but one day the boys saw the squirrel. and they all threw stones at him and broke his leg.
 The poor little thing could not run and jump with the others. Nor even could he get his winters store of nuts He had no home. One day all was changed. A little boy came up to the squirrel that had been there so long. and took the squirrel home and bandaged his little leg. He fed and | watered the squirrel all winter. Early in the spring the kind little boy let thu squirrel go. After that the squirrels never forgot to leave tree of nuts fol the kind little boy to pick every fall. 1 Yours very truly.
