In fact, il is becoming increasingly

Uncommon Sense
By JOHN BLAKE
WANT WHAT YOU NEED
PHILOSOPHERS tell US we can
have anything we want, provided

PHILOSOPHERS tell US we can
have anything we want, provided
we want 1t enough.
With certain qualifications this is
true. 1t explains why many men get
things out of life that their friends
never expected to get. They wanted
them, and they got them.
Getting things In that way for most
people involves considerable sacrifice.
For example, If dry goods clerk
wants an automobile he may get 1t,
but he will have to skimp pretty
heavily on his clothes and diet If he
gets 1t while he still remains dry
goods clerk.
1t Is for this reason that, when you
begin wanting something, 1t will pay
you to want what you need.
That will involve thought. for nJne
of us know what we need until we de-
vote considerable time to reflection
and study.
There are men who want new wives,
when they have perfectly good wives
at home. They don't need them, and
therefore ought not to want them
There are other men who want
wealth, when they don't need wealth
at ALL
Still other men want steam yachts
when rowboats would do them more
good and private swimming pools
when they would get more fun and
health out of public baths In the
ocean.
They may get these things, but they
VIII be no better off when they do get
them.
The wanting habit can grow into a
very bad habit indeed unless you are
careful to want what you need.
1t is well to remember in this con-
nection that there are some very i'm
portant needs that yeu ought to want
first of all.
One of them is good reputation.
| Another is good health. A third Is a
home.
Want these badly enough to get
them, and confine your wants after
that to things that are reasonably Ger
tain to bring happiness.
Then want as hard NJ Won like. and
your wanting Will not hurt you.
| But wanting to be a "movie" star
when you were born to be furniture
| salesman, or to be CnrusO when you
were born to be an accountant. will
only make you UNHAPPY.
You won't get either of these things
even by wanting them. and you will

RUMTY ANIMAL UNPR0FITABLE
Usually Caused by Improper

Niggardly methods of feeding and
caring for farm live stock are I'M
profitable. This is one conclusion re-
sulting from an inquiry conducted by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture into the causes and preven-
ton of runtiness among farm ami
mails. Seventy-five per cent of under
sized and undevelopcd animals, ac-
cordine to summary of more than
700 opinions advanced by livestock
owners, are due to inferior breeding,
Inadequate or unsuitable feed. and

prepared by the United Slater Department
Of Agriculture)
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
alsike 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 eY-
cellent feed, 1t is not 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

Corn slower, sorghum, ETC., also

cow. This class Of roughage is low

used the grain ration must be richer
n this element
No positive rule can be laid down
rs to the quantity of dry roughage
that should be fed, but from 6 to II
pounds day for each COW, in addition
to silase, will be found satisfactory
in most cases.
When the dry roughage is of poor
quality, such as coarse, woody hay or
IL poor grade of cornstalks, n large por-
ton can often be given to advantage,
allowing the COW to pick out the best
and using the rejected part for bed

DOES THE WIND sLow7

W7HEN any part of the earth be-
w comes. heated by the sud's rays,
the air becomes thinner and
rises. AS 1t goes up, current of
cooler air comes in to take. its place,
thus making the disturbance we call
the wind" Likewise, damp air
which is lighter than dry air of the
same degree of heat--will also rise
and, rising, cause u disturbance
above and below
IL is for this reason that there
is usually u breeze from the sea by
day and from the land by night, the
land being heated faster than the
water and the fresh air from the sea
coming in to take its place. AT night
the process Is reversed. The land
cools faster than the water and the
wind" goes out to sea. Because these
processes are continually going on al
over the globe, the wind frequently
gathers like SNOWFALL and attains
the proportions Of a gale or 4 hurri
cane.
