We can not go back to ten years ago
and do the things we should have done
then.
If each property owner had implant-
ed a profusion of trees, and shrubbery,
and roses, various kinds of plant life,
ten years ago, our town would now
be bower of beauty, veritable gar
den of Eden.
But the majority did not, and we
are not enjoying the delights of a
beauty spot Of nature.
Since time will not wait for us it
behooves US to keep up with time.
This spring is the time to begin the
cultivation of that beauty which we
would all enjoy in the decline of life
Age comes to us all, but it can be
made more attractive by the exercise
of forethought and the expenditure of
little energy while we are still en-
joying the heritage of comparative
youth.

RISES IN DEFENSE OF FLIRT
According to English Author, Fickle-
ness Is Simply Natural Desire
to Be Liked by All.

Il like being adored," she said, "even
though l dislike the person who adores
me-"
you can express that more simply
by saying, I'm flirt,'" said Philip.
But it's such an ugly word. Be-
sides, everyone likes being adored ;
everyone is a fiirt in that sense. It's
only the people who never are adored
who call it flirting. They would like
to be adored, but as they can't, they
call the rest of us rude names. But
It's no use going about trying to be
adored because nobody has the least
idea as to how to set about it. It's
not the least use being kind and hon
est and amiable, for that only makes
you mildly popular, while the most
disagreeable people get worshiped.
And it isn't any good being beautiful.
l dare say beauty hurries people up,
because there is obviously something
rather attractive about it, but it's not
bit of good by itself. Perhaps brains
have got something to do with it, or
is there a sixth sense which directs
it all?'-FrOm Lovers and Friends"

CHEAP FEED FOR
WINTERINC COWS
Experts Favor Corn Silage and
Wheat Straw With Hay or
CottonSeed Meal.
EXPENSE or RAISING CALVES
Experiments Conducted in BLUEGRASS
Regions of Appalachian Mountains
in West NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Used for Cattle.

Prepared by the U, S. Department of
Agriculture
Corn silage and wheat straw with
either mixed hay, soy-bean hay or cot
tonseed meal is a much cheaper ra-
ton for wintering beef-breeuing cows
than shock corn, mixed hay and
wheat straw as tried out in feeding
experiments recently carried on by E.
w. Sheets and R. H. Tuckwiller Of the
bureau of animal industry, and de-
scribed in Department Bulletin 1924,
Feeding Experiments With Grade
Beef Cows Raising Calves" which has
just been issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The work
described in the bulletin has to do
with the advantages Of certain prac-
tees, the economy of a number Of ra-
tons and the cost of raising calves
to weaving age. 1t applies to the
bluegrass region of the Appalachian
mountains, a region that furnishes
most of the grass-finished beef for the
Eastern markets.
Conditions Similar in Other States.
The farm on which the feeding was
done is in the southeastern part of
West Virginia, but the conditions
there are similar to those in parts Of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, North
Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky and Ten
nessee. The conclusions also apply in
part to other nearby regions.
The rations used for the four lots of
cows were: Corn silage, mixed hay
and wheat straw; corn silage, soy
bean hay and wheat straw; corn
silage, cottonseed meal and wheat
straw and shock corn, mixed hay and
wheat straw. AS mentioned in the
first paragraph, corn silage and
wheat straw, with either mixed hay,
soy-bean hay or cottonseed meal, is
a cheaper ration than shock corn,
mixed hay and wheat straw for win
tering beef cows. AS the cows fed on
the mixed hay and soy-bean ratiOns
produced larger calf crop than those
fed the cottonseed meal, the average
cost per head of raising their calves
was practically per cent less. AS
sources Of protein, mixed hay and soy
bean hay, where they are grown sue
cessfully, have additional advantages
in that they can be raised on the farm,
while cottOnseed meal must be pur-
chased.
Cost of Raising Calves.
Actual costs of raising calves vary
with the time and locality but by a

CARING FOR BREEDING FLOCK
If Fowls Are Overrun With Lice or
Mites, Fertility Will Be Seri-
ousIy Affected.

The breeding flock should be
watched 10 see that the fowls keep
in condition. If they are overrun with
lice or mites the fertility will be af-
fected seriously or destroyed. Care
is to be used, too, to see that the male
doesn't get his comb or wattles FROST
ed. If the ROSTERS comb or wattles
are frozen to any extent, his ability
as a breeder will be impaired, and
may not be recovered for several
weeks. When the weather is very
cold the males intended for breeding
should be placed at night in a box
or crate partly covered with a bag or
cloth 1t is good idea, too, to ex-
anime his majesty occasionally at
night to see that his crop IS full, and
that he is not going thin-if he runs
at large. BOOSTERS sometimes are so
gallant that they allow the hens to
eat all the food, with the result that
they get out Of condition. If this hap
pens the rooster should be caught at
least once day and fed separately
from the hens.

FIRST CULTIVATION OF CORN
AS Soon as Plants Are Above Surface
Land Should Be Stirred-Deeper
TiIage Permitted.

Much will depend upon early culti-
walton of corn. Here, is where "a
stitch in time saves nine" AS soon
as the plants are above the surface
the land should be stirred, usually. I'm
less no rain has fallen do not fail to
start the cultivators as soon as you
can tell the rows by the young plants.
If no heavy rains have come since
planting it might be well to wait a
while for rain.
The first cultivation Of corn will
permit deeper tillage than later when
the brace roots develop. But care
must be taken not to throw much
dirt" as the plants are easily covered
and injured by the freshly plowed
soil.

BENEFITS IN GROWING SEEDS
One Must Be Plant Expert to Be Sue
cessful and Vast Amount of
Labor Is Required.

Prof Paul Work of Cornell, speak
ing on better seeds and how to obtain
them, said there were many advan-
tages in growing seed. One knows
the percentage of his own seed, and
if he grows his own seed and does it
well he can turn profit from the sale
of the surplus; but you have got to be
a plant expert and it requires vast
amount of labor and care to grow good
seeds. 1t was his opinion that the
bulk of the seeds would come from
seedsmen that men in the seed bust
ness are. spending thousands of dol
lars to get good seed, while others
were giving the matter of quality lit
tie attention, preferring to sell the
cheaper seed regardless of quality.

NOTED PRELATES IN LONDON
Been Familiar With the British
Metropolis.

The new pope, Plus XI, visited Lon
don as well as Oxford in early life,
in the latter place especially the great
Bodleian library naturally attracting
such a great scholar. He was himself
librarian of the great Vatican library,
and known everywhere as bOOklover.
1t was said that the late Pope Leo
XIII knew his way about London bet
ter than a great many natives, as he
had spent much time there before be-
ing raised to the papacy, exploring
the slums and other problems in the
metropolis.
Pope Leo XIII was the only one Of
that exalted rank who ever sat in the
British house of commons and in the
distinguished strangers gallery, at
that. He also is said to have enjoyed
the hospitality of Lord Palmerston
under that distinguished statesman's
own roof. That was, of course, before
his eXaltation to the papacy.
