Than Corn in Feed Test

Of silage (52 pounds) and no corn
gave larger profits than full ration

Buddie admires ponies and sees no
reason why such steed should not
disport itself on the few square feet
Of his back yard. In an unguardeG
moment he had obtained partial
promise that Santa would bring him
pony for a Christmas present. Dad
was put to his wits end to pacify the
young man without crearing scene.
So on the night before Christmas he
said to Buddie, II was down to the
stockyards today and they had no
ponies, nothing but cows"
Buddie replied, well, then, I guess

LLAMA TALK


Billie Brownie was on his way to
visit the Llama in the zoo when he
was stopped by having talk with the
Grey Squirrel who had been busy eat
ing peanuts for some time and who
was ready to take short rest and
chat.
EYES," the Grey Squirrel told Billie
Brownie, st is quite true what you
have heard. Our family and the Red
Squirrel family have always been
quarrelsome and have not been on any
too friendly terms. OF course we say
it is the fault of the Red Squirrel and
I suppose they say the same of us
But I'm quite sure that the fair
opinion is that it is the fault of the
Red Squirrels that we do not get along
together. Yes, I'm sure of that.
They're so quick tempered and they
can fight so hard. We're not as they
are at all, no indeed"
II believe you," said Billie Brownie.
Another time I want to have more Of
talk with you but today / have an
enga cement with llama and I don't
think one should keep a llama wait
ing. / have feeling one shouldn't do
that"
"Well, stop for chat again, Billie
Brownie" said Grey Squirrel, as he
gave his tail fine flourish in saying
good-by to Billie Brownie.
sWell, am I on timer" asked Billie
Brownie as he came to where the
llama was.
'I'm sure I don't know said the
Llama. II haven't any wrist watch and
haven't any clock, and if ! had I
couldn't tell the time. OF course I

Vigorous, Healthy Hogs
Nav Withstand Cholera

Hog cholera is germ disease like
typhoid fever, and unless the germs
are present on the farm it is utterly
impossible for hogs to take it from
feeding stuffs of any kind, for If the
germ is not there there can be no
cholera, and even though it may be
present hogs in vigorous health may
escape 1t, but If for any reason they
become weakened they are practically
sure to take it.

Rod the bird used these curious claws
as a minor means Of defense. These
odd-looking claws were inherited from
his reptilian ancestors.
For the most part the ostrich does
his fighting with his feet, and the ma
ture bird is able to deliver as power
full kick as a heavy horse or mule.
1t is a ripping, tearing blow that the
ostrich strikes, which often results
fatally to the victim.
The ostrich is really the camel of
the bird family, for he can go for long
periods without water where he has

Peculiarly enough, the ostrich can
roar as loud as lion, due to an I'M
usual arrangement of the vocal chords.
The bird generally contents himself
with kissing like an alligator when
he is enraged, and his hiss is a sign
of danger.

A Word to Auto Dealers

Automobile dealers are going wake up of these
days and discover their business has taken decided
slump.
And the reason will not be hard to find.
The automobile industry cannot long flourish in the
face Of the hazards that confront folks who drive and
ride
An outraged public has waited in vain for municipal
and state patrolsto put stop 10 speeding and reckless
driving. The situation, instead of being relieved is
growing worse.
Sunday, a day of rest is now a day of tragedy.
The highways and boulevards built 10 provide
ton and peaceful pleasure, becoming trails of blood;
the hand OF death reaches around every curve.
Landscapes, green and refreshing once, now become
hurying grounds. Nowhere is safe from approach
of the racing and its brainesS occupants
Most people buy automobiles for the pleasure they
hope to derive from their operation When that ceases
LAS is threatened-the auto business will be hit
hard.
So manufacturers and dealers if you would perpeuate
the industry that has brought you profit protect it by
getting behind real movement TO make automobile
driving safe and restore it to the position it should occupy
as the foremost diversion OF the age.
