SIR WALTER SCOTT

THEIiE were many famous people
born on the fifteenth of August,
among them Napoleon, De Quincy and
Sir Walter Scott.
This last, the great Scottish poet
and novelist was born in Edinburgh,
in It'll. AS he was a delicate child,
no formal sort of education was given
him and he was rather INDUCED in
mis- tastes. The most predominant of
these was love of hearing the tales
of adventure on the Scottish border
which his grandmother and family
friends used to tell him. and to read
collections of legends and ballads, of
his and other countries He studied
French, italian and German. just to
read their literature In the original.
He did not begin to write very
young he seemed to have stored up
tales in his head until when he final
ly settled on authorship. they simply
tumbled out onto the manuscript. His
first was the poem LAY of the Last
MINSTREL great success and de-
parture from the abstruse poetry Of
the period Later, he took to novel
writing, doing two and three a year.

taken as the basis of the opera "Lu

written and fairly gobbled up by an
eager public. Scott made money rap
idly, had lovely home and an income
aside from his earnings. Then pub
fishing firm he was interested in
failed leaving him more than $780,,
600 debts. Though he could have
avoided paying, he insisted on earning
and paying every cent, and before he
died in 1882 had almost done so.

if more protein is needed. The change
of grains Is to supply the protein
which was supplied by the skim milk.
Calves will begin to eat hay about
as soon as they begin to eat grain.
Care must be taken in feeding clover
or alfalfa that it does not produce
scours. If any indication of scours
appears, the amount should be limited.
Some prefer to feed calves on timothy
or some other hay of that character.

Science of Animal Feed
Promises Some Changes

In addition to the question of vita
minis, there is still another recent dis
covery in the science of animal feed
Ing which promises to bring about
just as radical changes IN our feed
practices. 1t has been known for
many years that the feeding of cereal
grains and other substances low In
mineral matter or ash was not ONLY
uneconomical but in many cases was
dangerous. Very little thought was
given to this question, but of late
years the conclusion has been reached
by the leading nutrition experts that
this was due to the low mineral mat
ter as ash content of such feeds.
Practically all grains and carbonhy-
drate feeds are low in mineral mat
ter or ash, while the protein feeds are
unusually rich in them. This accounts
for the fact that protein feeds have
met with such universal success in
the usual feeding rations.

SOMETHING TO
THINK ABOUT
BY F. A. WALK E r
A DESTROYING ANGEL

n DING through the world today
~ is destroying angel, sowing
seeds of strife and sorrow among men
and women who proudly proclaim
from the housetops and on the street
corners tiiae they are free agents
Independent in thought and action.
Yet when you look impartially into
the purpose which actuate these self
confident persons. you will discover
to your amazement that their boast
full assertions are at variance with
the truth.
With willing ears, however, they
listen attentively to base argument
which if followed to the end would
ultimately destroy their individuality
and usefulness.
So instead of accepting advice from
elders. from interested wives and
husbands, or from employers, these
inconsistent persons gulp down poi
mixed with exceeding care to dethrone
their reason.
Out of weekly or monthly earnings
they hand over at regular intervals
a stipulated percentage of their re-
ceipts, to keep an arch enemy and
his cohorts in fine raiments, luxuri-
GUS living quarters choice cigars,
trained servants and imposing auto
mobiles.
While his victims are toiling he
enjoys life, making pretense Of i'm
proving their living conditions, prin-
cipally by worn out catchwords and
promises which are never kept
He compliments and fiatters as he
robs them. fattens. grows rich and
dorlineering
And all this he does with the money
earned by his thousands of unsuspect-
ing slaves who have yet to learn the
knack of saving and the primitive art
Of taking care of themselves.
Under the strong will and hypnotic
gaze of this destroying angel, his
miserable ~erfs who are constantly
complainipe Of "hard times" let them
selves go p'ind of their own best in
terests.

Live Stock Items

Sheep require some kind of a sue
culent food more than other stock
The older the hog gets the more it
costs to put pound of meat on it.
Proper attention to sanitation with
farm animals will prevent many losses.
English hogs tend more to the bacon
type than do those raised in America.
The growing pig should be fed at

One of the easiest ways to stiffen a

Ev'ry lover laden
With heavy heart.
But to those asunder,
Anytime or where
What the word, l wonder,
That win tighten care?
Here's the day, the reason,
Why l send a line:
It's the happy season
OF St Valentine.
Not to one girl only

But to all the lonely,

Not to king or caddie
With lassie dear.
But to ev'ry laddie,
Anywhere or here.
Ev'ry maid among you,
How l hope you see
That the song that's sung you
Doesn't come from me
Not one heart discovers
Not one tale would tell,
But a million lovers
Send their love as well.
Man. wherever vending,
Please to understand
Not one maid is sending
Something from her hand;
But a million of them,
Just as fond ard true,
Though million love them,
Send their love to you.
It's mighty greeting
Via Valentine,
Singing and repeating
All along the line;
Silk or rags arrayed In,
High or low your clan,
Here's to ev'ry maiden,
Here's to ev'ry mani
What the day or weather.

All of us together
Love you all the time.
All of us love only
