Farmer Browns Boy Is one of those boys who never neglects his work. no matter what may happen. About his home he has certain things to do every day. So, even though he had brought home lit- tie Bear Cub from the Green For est he didn't allow it to interfere with his duties. As soon as he had made a collar for Cuhby and had Ehained him to the little house of Bowser the Hound. he hurried away to do certain work that had to be done.
 All the time he was at work he tTas thinging about the little Bear. 2 Fl do hope he won't be too lawfully homesick." muttered Far
 mer Browns Boy. Tt seems kind bf mean to take him away from the Green Forest. If he hadn't hurt that paw I wouldn't have done it. sOr if his mother had come to him I wouldn't have taken him away. But hs 1t was it seemed the only thing No oOs 1CC, Dul $ d lullly lllliV fellow! I hope he'll be contented."
 Farmer Browns Boy had to go down to the cornfield for while. When he returned the first thing he did was to look for Buster Bears little cub. At first all he saw was Bowser the Hound curled up in front of his little house where the little Bear had been left. Then he dis covered Cubby. Cubby was nestled fup as close to Bowser as he could get. Yes. sir he was nestled right hip close to Bowser and he was fast asleep. At the sound of his masters Footsteps Bowser lifted his head. Then very gently he thumped the ground with his tail. It was very plain to see that Bowser was very much pleased. He had a new chum and he was very happy over it.
 Well. we'll" exclaimed Farmer Browns Boy. This certainly takes "a load off my mind. Now I won't !have to worry about any possible harm to that cub from Bowser. I was afraid he might be jealous when he found I had given that cub his house. Instead of that, he seems to have taken possession of that cub. Good old Bowser.."
 Just then cubby awoke and dis covered Farmer Browns Boy. Right away he was up on his feet and very cute he looked as he stood up, hold Ing up that little paw which Mother Brown had bandaged. Farmer Browns Boy reached down and un- snapped the chain. Then he picked Cubby up in his arms and took him up to the house. Bowser was right at his heels. It was clear that Bowser didn't intend to be left be- hind. When they reached the house and Cubby was put down on the floor Of the kitchen, what do you think he did? He made straight for the pantry door. Yes, sir, he made straight for the pantry door
 He hadn't forgotten where Mother Browns delicious cookies had come from. The door was latched. He stood up on his hind feet while with his one good paw he scratched while he whined and whimpercd Farmer Browns Boy unlatched the door just to see what Cubby would do. Cubby got his sharp little claws in the crack and pulled that door open. Then he made straight for the cooky jar Before Farmer Browns Boy could gel his hands on him. Cubby had pulled that cooky bar over and sent cookies rolling in every direction. , Hi. you rascal!" yelled Farmer Browns Boy, reaching for him, as Mother Brown came running to see what all the trouble was. But Cubby 1

paid no attention. He was stuffing himself with cookies as fast as ever he could and he actually tried to bite Farmer Browns Boy when the lat ter picked him up and dragged him away from the cookies.
 Meanwhile Mother Brown laughed until See had to hold her sides. Copyright, 1927. by T. w. Burgess)

Free trade and the protective tarifi

Do Not Overfeed Stock
Just Before Shipping

The weight of animals over the
stock-yard scales count more than their
~weight at home. Heavy weight at
home often means a disappointing
weight at the market because Of ex.
cessive shrinkage.
Live stock does not ride well stuffed
A securing animal does not have q
normal appetite, SO a light market
'fll" is taken when they are fed Oh
arrival at the yards. The market
weight both surprise and disappoints
Hogs should be given a rs per cent
normal feed previous to shipping In
cool weather. In hot weather the
amount should be cut to 25 per cent
Provide clean water as frequently az
possible.
Give cattle or sheep all the non.

they have been accustomed to legume

Spring Time

Already there are many signs oil az
preaching spring, although officially IT is
not due to arrive until March 81.
Spring is the season of reincarnatlon'
reiuyenation and radiant life. Ii is only
10 man that January / represents the
birth Of a new year and the calendar year
is an artificial structure. With plant life
ana that # he lower animals the coming
Of spring il at once the birth of a new
year and new life.
Humanity recognizes and speaks of o
new year as from January | but never
the less observes it from the first breath
of spring. After the departure of the
drear and sitting winter and with the
coming Of refreshing and magnetic spring
there is new life and new hope created III
in the breasts of men and women. Spring
brings great plans and high resolves which
only winter can demolish or deter.
1t is. not sufficient to say that the hon.
ing instincts is convenient IN the spring.
Ii is natural and not to be gainsaid by
man or beast. Spring urges the bird te
build its nest. the animal to burrow into
its mother earth and man TO plan his
home. but neither bird, beast nor man
knows nor asks why. Spring is the one
and only irresistible force.

GLUE
BEEF CATTLE ON
R

Permanent and profitable systems
Of farming include live stock, 1t is
pointed out by r. III. Wilcox of the
farm organization and management
department, college OF agriculture,
University Of Illinois. Beef cattle, es-
pecially. make economical use Of the
feeds and other available production
factors found on most farms. About
so per cent of the cost of f~attening
cattle Is made up of the farm-grown
feeds that are normally produced in
a well-balsnced rotation OF crops
There need, therefore. Ne but little
direct cash outlay in ~fat,ening cattle,
other than the purchase price of the
cattle The crops OF a good rotation
furnish a well balanced ration for fat
tening cattle. Corn and plenty of
clover or alfalfa hay form the basis
for every well-balanced cattle feeding
ration. These crops, upon the aver
age, are fed to cattle at a profit.
The winter-fed steer is not usually
thought Of as a farm scavenger, yet
In a large degree that Is what he is,
after his appetite for corn has been
satisfied For, In addition to making
q market Of this corn, the steer also
makes use OF the farm roughages. the
idle time Of men and horses during
the winter and makes profitable use
of much farm equipment that other
wise would stand idle.
A rotation of corn. oats and clover
with a yield Of so bushels Of corn, As
bushels Of oats and two tons Of clover
hay to the acre will yield approximate
ly three-fourths Of a ton Of grain and
a ton and a half of rougha,ye each
year. There isn't much Of g. market
for rough feed other than hay, and in
the long run 1t is more profitable to
feed all Of these roughages on the
farm.
Beef cattle on winter feed In nli-
nois normally ec~ three pounds Of
roughage to every two pounds of
grain. This is almost in the proper
tlou tAdt OusudSC uAu SioAh 40 Rho
duced in a well balanced rotation. To
a very large extent, the sale price of
rough feeds depends upon what they
will bring by being fed to cattle.
BY their natural ability to convert
farm roughages. including legume
hays, into food for human consump-
tion, cattle are a great help In max
ing 1t profitable to include the clovers
in the cropping system Under mar
ket prices of finished cattle the first
of the year, a well-fed 1,200pound fat
steer, bought last September, fed out
on corn and clover hay would return
about $24 to his feeder per ton for
clover hay after paying 10 cents for
corn.
A carload Of steers will take about
$50 hours of mar labor and $50 hours
of horse labor In care and feeding.
Probably much Of this labor, where
cattle are fed would have been wasted
II no cattle were about, for upon many
farms there Is enough family labor to
take care Of the cattle. BY feeding
cattle, much of this otherwise idle la
Dor is made productive.

Highway Vision Blocked
by Ungodly Billboards

Preservation of the beauty of the
countryside may be an important argu-
ment against the billboards that line
the highways. But just as strenuous
an argument is their danger to mo-
florists.
Even those signs that display a pic
ture with just a phrase or SO threaten
an accident when they are placed at
corners TO hide approaching automo-
biles from view.
But the greater danger lies In the
l~ong-winded billboards that some ad-
vertisers to think are better sales
seducers than their more or less silent
brethren. What actually happens Is
that either they're not read at all by
the fast-passing motorist, or he drives
unwarily into an accident.
Telling the history Of an approach
ing town, or even Haunting a verse of
the Scripture in the face of Sabbath
desecrating motorists, may be consid-
cred beneficial and a mental stimulus,
but they're no help to the motorist II
he strikes the curve at which they're
placed at a 40mile-an-hour gait, or
runs pell-mell into a post.
Curves or crossings are wonderfully
attractive locations for billboards from
an advertising viewpoint, but highly
calamitous from the motoring angle.
For safety, therefore, eve more
than beauty, lining the roads with
bilboards should be restricted.

Giant Road Improvement
Plans for the Future

The nations road program for the
last four years should result in the
Improvement to some degree, Of about
10000 miles of highways before 1880,
according to L. Fl. Mcdonald, chief Of
the United States road bureau. These
figures are based on accomplishments
by national, state and local depart
ments in the past. The annual Ok
pendIture will average well over ST.
OOO,OOO,OOO.
1.-THE American Road Builders asso-
citation has given new incentive to the
building OF good roads and 1t Is very
probable that reports at the 1927 con-
vention of hat organization will show
much progress in actual construction"
he added. "The government encour-
agement to road construction is evil
denced by the continuation Of the $780,
100000 annual appropriation for 1927
and the consideration given a bill au-
thorizing this federal aid expenditure
for 1923 and 1929"

Reduce Accident Toll

The increasing number of accidents
to tourists at highway grade crossings
has led to the adoption Of a policy
looking to- the elimination of such

cable on federal aid roads. The policy.
which has met with the general SUP
port Of the states, is that all existing
grade crossings on the federal aid
highway system shall be classified and
the improvements shall be carried out

roads also have agreed 10 this policy.

begin early to look around for the Sc.

carefully consider the defects In his

such undesirable features as he finds
there. There is q tendency on the

ANCIENT SWORD LINE

Members Speech Is Interrupted
When His Foot Slips
Over Boundary.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 20.-Mr. A. n.
SHELTON was addressing the House of
Commons in the presence of mere
handful of members when he was sud
denly assailed with shouts of, Order!
There was nothing unparliamentary
in his remarks and Mr.. Shelton was
at a loss to know just how he had
offended until some one pointed to
his foot
The toe of one shoe was about one
inch beyond the strip of cloth which
runs along the floor in front of the
front benches. 1t is out of order for
a member to step beyond that line
while speaking from n front bench.
The line is a survival of the days
when the members of Parliament car
ried swords. SO long as a member
was behind the line his sword point
could not reach an opponent opposite.

FRENCH TRUCK PICKS UP
AND CARRIES ITS LOAD
Vehicle Used in Industrial Plants
Is Proving Marked
Success.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 20.-A new truck
that picks it's load off the ground and
carries it underneath the chassis is
saving time and labor in French indus
trial plants.
The chassis and motor stand seven
feet high. on four legs that carry
the wheels. There is Il clearance Of
five feet under the framework and
four fiat right-angled plates, on
ratchets, stick inward from the four
legs. The truck is run over the load,
which is set n few inches off the
ground. The four plates, like hands,
reach under the weight to he carried.
They are elevated by the motor power
and the truck thus carries it's load.
Various devices, such as platforms,
are used so that the four iron hands
can pick up the load.
