OLD AND NEW CHRISTMAS DAY
Nobody Has Been Able to Decide
Whether January 8 or December
IS 10 Correct Date.

@N HRISTMAS day seems we'd
w ded to December 25. A
summer or springtime
NJ Christm;G, with no holly,
no mistletoe, no frost, no
snow. would not be the real thing at
all, observes London Answers.
sThe majority of our beautiful Christ
mas carols, too, redolent as they are
of the winter-"Sung Amid the Win
ter's Snow"-would be hopelessly In
consrucus. Emigrants to Australia
from the mother country have con-
fessed that it has taken them many
years before they could get in any
way used TO what is practically Il mid
summer Christmas.
Yet December % is merely an ac-
cOmmodation date for the birthday of
Christ-Christmas day The year. too.
is wrong. Most people would take il
for granted that Christ was born in
A. u. Literally, of course, the year
OF our Lord, No. I.
But our chronology is four years
out This should be 1925 and not 1921,
because Christmas day could not. on
indisputable historical testimony, have
been later than February B. G. 4!
That settles the year of the first
Christmas, but all attempts to fix the
actual day and month of Christmas
have failed.
And, as regards the present date,
Christmas, like Easter, took some cen
turtles before IL settlement was arrived
ut. In the first centuries of Chris
tlanity several important Eastern
churches observed January 6 as
Christmas day. The Armenian Chris
tians do so still.
Gradually, however, uniformity was
attained. hut not before the Fifth cen
fury. In that connection it must he re-
membercd that for quite long period
this country was divided on the qucs-
tion of Christmas. Some people per-
sisted in observing "old" Christmas
day.
But all viii agree that December
81, even II It is not the actual date of
Chrisi's birth, is a happy choice.
Our prcsent-day Christmas. festival
and holiday. breaks the long winter,
and what better time could there he
for family reunions? The cold and
unplcasantncss outside make II all the
more agreeable TO keep warm and
snug inside. 1t keeps us together In
every sense.

ration because it is usually purchased
Cottonseed meal, while it is used
more extensively throughout the corn
belt as n whole, is no more popular
than linseed meal Most cattle feed
ers prefer linseed meal, but it is not
used so largely owing to its some
what higher cost. Corn makes up 90
per cent of the carbohydrate conccn-
trates. Oats are. frequently used in
the latter part of the feeding period
to put cattle in better shipping condi-
tion. Barley is used only in small
way, although in Illinois it made up
10 per cent of the grain ration.
Purchase Price Is Half of Cost.
In fattening steer the combined
operating expenses usually more than
equal the original purchase price Of
the feeder. The factors considered In
operating expenses are feed, labor,
building and equipment. interest, mar
keting, insurance and taxes. Feed
usually constitutes about so per cent
of this expense. All the other items
are generally balanced by the manure
and pork credits.

Blacks short game and his putting
were remarkable. He holed several long

was exceedingly effective The cham
