itimsem breaking through his reserve
and talking freely Of himself to the
man at his right. .Wiggin finally began
telling the story of his life. He had
been born in packing box on the
wharves-"like mongrel pup" he
said. Now he was married man with
business bringing fair income. This
supported his wife and three children
Yet Wiggin allowed himself some lux
uries; he had a fondness for poetry,
and he subscribed to the Atlantic
Monthly, and went to the theater when
ever there was a Shakespeare play.

that he was entertaining the governor.

However, the Spanish Urraca was
identified with Maria and this name
fourishes in Spanish name history and
ballad literature. The Infanta Dena
Urraca, or Maria, was prevented from
becoming Queen of France because of
the uncouth sound of her name
Urraca, whereas, If she had lived d
century later, she might have been
called Queen Marie. Other famous
Marias were Maria of Antioch, wife Of
Emperor Manuel; Maria, wife of the
Marquis of Montferrat; Marie, daugh-
ter Of Louis VII; Marie, translator
Of Breton legends for Henry III, and
Marie, daughter of Edward J. The
actual name of Mary comes through
the French and Is from the Blessed
Virgin.
Mary's jewel is the moonstone,

MARY

DARADOXICAL as it Is, the sweet
i name of Mary means bitter. Mary
Is perhaps the most prevalent name q
all languages, due in large degree &
religious devotion to the Blessed Vir-
gin. Indeed there are so many Marys
and so many derivatives and diminu-
tives Of the name, that each one re-
quires separate treatment and this
article will be limited to the simple
Mary and its English and French
spelIings, Maria and Marie.
The first well-kno. n bearer of the
name was the sister of Moses and
Aaron, who led the sons Of the Israe-
lites when they saw the enemies
dead upon the seashUre. Though the
most honored name among women, it
is one which has caused a great deal
of contention regarding its source.
Some day it comes from meri-( stub-
kornness). others say that it is from
marah (bitterness). The most poeti-
cal explanation of all is that it comes
from the Latin and Teutonic mar,
meaning sea, and hence Mary is "Star
OF Ihe Sea-"

CORN STANDS ALONE
AS GREATEST FEED

Corn stands unchallenged as the
greatest single feed for all classes OF
live stock. From this plant comes the
grain which affords the greater part
IF the concentrates in all sections
where RE plant grows we'll In addi-
ton to this, the leaves and stalks go
to make silage and slower, which COM
prise large part of the r0ughage used
in wintering the different classes OF
live stock, says Prof. L. V. Starkey.
chief of the animal husbandry division
at Clemson college, in discussing the
value of corn as live stock feed.
However, great as the corn plant Isl
it is not without it's limitations and
deficiencies. Corn is low in protein,
and the protein which it has is incom-
plete and of poor quality. Corn is
also deficient in minerals. Probably
the most outstanding objection to corn
in South Carolina is the fact that 1t is
high in price. This objection will
never be overcome until the yield per
acre is increased.
The wise farmer will not feed corn
alone to his live stock, explains Pro-
fessor Starkey, but will supplement it
with feeds which make up the protein
and mineral deficiencies. For instance,
corn and soy-bean hay or pea-vine hay
will make a well-balanced feed for
horses and mules. Corn and sOy-bean
pasture, after the pods are filled, will
make well-balanced ration for swine.
Corn silage and cottonseed meal with
straw for rOughage will make ball
anced ration for wintering beef cattle,
and silage and legume hay will make
splendid ration for sheep.
There are times when other feeds
are cheaper than corn, and the winter
of 1925 is one of those times, thinks
Professor Starkey. For example, rice
meal is worth about 90 per cent as
much as corn for hog feeding and can
be had much cheaper than corn.
Pound for pound oats is worth as much
as corn for horses and mules. Farmers
having sheaf oats are we'll fixed. II
cottonseed neal is cheaper than corn,
it may be used as the sole concentrate
5ohydrate roughage is fed. Velvet
beans at $25 a ton are decidedly
cheaper than corn.
1t is. a wise farmer who studies the
relative values of feeds and balances
the rations accordingly. These times
of high prices are hazardous to those
who make mistakes, but profitable to
those who follow correct methods.

In a political campaign the hard

judgment on fact. He should separate

Frost occurs when there is clear
sky and little wind Heavy low clouds
act as a blanket preventing the earth
from giving off it heat. A moderate
wind is generally an effective deterrent
of frost, since it keeps thin layer OF
cold air from forming near the ground,

regions with it.

So he flew nearer to the shivering
pair and chirped saucily, II guess

don't you? We are likely to get snow,

"Oh, no." answered Mrs. Robin. 81

fown beside Chippy, thinking there
would be a quarrel and wishing to
be in it." why do you come up in

Il am sure you do not mean what

In spite of all they could say, Mr.

with them. "Come down here on the

WALT WIGGIN

XN7ALT WIGGIN'S chop house was
w famous; no one knew whether
more famous for it's planked steak or
for Walt Wiggin himself. It was an
announcement little hole to reach, in
convenient, that is, for the conven-
tional and conservative; but, unlike
other restaurants, it did not move
when It's boom began.
The chop house was in basement
which one reached by descending a
fight Of uneven stone steps. The floor
was spread with clean sawdust, and
there were perhaps two dozen small
round tables under the central arc light
that hung, round and bright-white,
from the ceiling. At corner Of the
! red brick fireplace was Virgins table,
and this the old-timers In the room
would watch with interest as the chop
house became increasingly the rendez-
vous for fashion, being safely adven-
/ turOus and Bohemian. For the flavor
of the occasion was to sit at Virgins
table. When Treat En- Rough blus-
| tered that the coffee was bad, Wig
gin quite calmly and patiently would
explain why that was impossible. And
when Treat EN- Down condescended
that the oysters were better than any
thing else in the city, Wiggin would
name. the one place that he knew ex-
celled him. Meanwhile the room, de-
! lighted, took it al. in.
One night a stranger alone was
ushered with more air than usual to
the seat beside Wiggin, who was quite
oblivious to the stir that the new ar
rival had occasioned. Wiggin took to
his guest as he had taken to no one

rich in nitrogen or protein, at the

This requires muscle and bone-build-

A horse cannot do full work in the
spring if he has been starved through
the winter by getting too little feed or
not the right kind even, though he is
fed up on good feed when he goes to
hard work in the spring.
Most men have the time during the
winter to give their horses the neces-
sary attention they need.
Muddy pig pens are more expensive
than good feeding floors, for records
show that pigs fed on clean floors gain
twice as much as those fed In the mud.
