"VERY once in while when
you find large family, you
0 find a black sheep in it.
He's the guy who never comes
home unless he gets broke or mar
ried or until something else terrible
happens to him.
This IL the guy who spends
eight hours q day in the Western
Union office. Fifteen minutes wir-
ing for money and the rest of the
time waiting for 1t.
No matter how little his family
sends him he always saves a couple
Of dollars out of it so that he can
telegraph for more.
In olden days the black sheep
used to come home with the dough
TO pay off his fathers mortgage.
Nowadays when he comes home
the father has to mortgage the
house to pay him off.
In Sunday school he learned the
quotation, TASK and you shall re-
ceive,' so he practices it in every
letter he writes to his folks.
But he's usually hard working
chap. II you don't think it's hard
work getting money out Of some
parents, just try it once.
One father wired to his son and
said. MY dear boy, you can't get
blood out Of q turnip." The son
wired back, Dear father, I have
plenty Of blood; what I need Is
: cash"
As q rule it takes money to get
money, but . black sheep generally
telegraphs collect.
But very few sons ever wire
back and thank their parents for
the money. The only time they
send two wires is when they don't
hear from the first one.
The average father likes to feel
that he can bank on his son, but
the average SON wants to bank on
his father.
One guy sent his father so many
sight drafts that the old man
caught cold and died Of pneu-

Years ago . black sheep used to
humiliate his family by marrying
chorus girl. In those times It
was q disgrace-today it's an
achievement.
Now, unless a chorus girl mar

at the stage door of a theater than

A black sheep used to fall in love
with an actress. and to show that
he cared for her he'd offer her
every cent that his father had.
But his promises were like ali

FARM
LIVE STOCK
Apple By-Products Good
for Wintering Animals

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture)
Thousands of tons Of apple pomace
are going to waste annually which
might proftably be turned into food
for wintering cattle, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This loss is attributed either to lack
of facilities for preserving the pomace
or to indifference on the part of stock
raisers.
Studies to determine the food value
and best methods of utilizing this by
product from commercial cider and
vinegar mills have been made and are
discussed in Department Bulletin No.
1166, Apple By-Products as Stock
Foods" just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
When the moist apple pomace can be
used in the fresh condition or be en-
SLED 1t yields a succulent cattle food
comparable with corn silage, of spe-
cial value In the winter feeding of
stock. The quantity that can be
utilized in this way, however, is linn
tied because of the relatively high cost
of transportation for material having
such a high water content. Its most
profitable utilization depends upon its
preservation by dehydration and pro-
ducing it as a commercial food.
In feeding trials with dairy cows.
dried apple pomace proved to be
palatable feed and appeared to be
equal pound for pound of dry matter,
TO good corn slage as succulent food.
The material was fed wet and re-
placed the corn sllage in ration in
Guiding grain and hay. The material,
which had been ground to meal, was
prepared by adding to it three times
It's weight of water several hours be-
fore it was fed.
A copy of this bulletin may be Sc
cured from the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.

the bluffs where Eagle run breaks into
the valley Of the Wabash. 1t never

trickled In from somewhere that a
railroad was headed that way. But
the rumor subsidized. Buckeye went

man could buy 1t as he wanted It,
from a drink to a jugful, but "furri-

quantities less than a quart-an iden-
LITIGATION quite as exacting, though Of
q different sort, as that required to
borrow money from Simon Colin
which is another way of saying that
a mans face went as far In the Flat
woods as his note.

Excellent Mixtures to
Maintain Breeding Eve

After the ewes are bred, don't
neglect them so far as feeding is con-
cerned. Give them the right kind Of
feed and proper care. A pregnant eve
needs no grain during the first four
months after breeding If she is in good
condition at that time. On the other
hand 1t will not do to winter her on
straw and timothy hay or corn slower.
What she needs is clover or alfalfa hay
or at least clover and timothy, with
the former predominating in the mix
ture Silage. If of good quality, als{
makes q good feed for bred ewes. !
average of two pounds of corn silag
and two pounds Of clover or alfalf |
hay per day will maintain a eve in eS
cellent condition, but for two or tire
weeks before lambing it is advisabl
to add about half pound of grain poI
day, mixture Of equal parts of oat
and corn being suitable for that pur
pose.
