Look Out for Cocklebur
Poison During Spring

Spring mortality among hogs
may be materially decreased by
keeping them away from places
where young cocklebur plants ap-
pear. Investigations have shown
that the partially developed leaves
of young cOcklebur plants are suffi-
GENTLY poisonous to cause the death
of hogs if a larg amount of them
is eaten.
One and one-half pounds of the
plant will poison a 110-pOung hog
Twelve ounces will be fatal to a
50pOund pig. This is not an eX-
cessive amount when the abun-
dance of he plant and the fact that
early in the spring hogs have no
other green stuff to fill up on are
considered.
An exact method Of treatment for
cocklebur poisoning has not yet
been developed. One doctor ad-
vises administration of some fatty
substance, such as lard. bacon,
grease, raw linseed oil. or even
milk. These should be given as
first aid and a veterinarian called
for additional treatment.

IRON AND COPPER IN
MOLASSES AID STOCK
Is Especially Needful When
Grass or Legumes Lacking.

Iron and copper in readily assim-
liable form are found in molasseS,
according to test work done by the
Ohio experiment station. These
two minerals must be present and
are used in producing hemOglobin,
or red colOring matter in the blood.
If there is shortage of these ele-
ments. normal functions cannot be
carried out. If the shortage is
acute, anemia results. In young
pigs anemia causes the trouble
commonly called "thumps." In all
animals and fowls, both young and
old. anemic conditions can develop
through ratiOns poor in iron and
copper in a form that can readily
be aSsimiated.
Ordinary. well-balanced rations of
high grade feeds commonly give
enough iron and copper except in
the early nursing periods when pigs
and calves and colts and lambs de-
pend solely on milk. 1t would ap-
pear that live stock producers can
well consider the insurance value
of mOlasses and mOlasses feeds
during this critical period, especial
ly when the rations of the brood
sows, cows. mares and ewes do not
contain grass or legumes to any eX-
ent.

message in that they emphasize a
vogue which is outstanding this
seaSOn-that of a touch of velvet
on the chapeau. Your nilliner will
tell you that velvet ribbon is a very
smart trimming.
The black-and-white formula is
carried out Ito the queens taste"

ing millinery trio. 1t is a thin
white hair body, its generously
wide brim and crown elaborated
with a floral patterning traced with
delicate embroidery done with
strands of silky black straw. There
is bandeau of white velvet ending

Everywhere in the realm of hats
there is rejoicing in that millinery
is "real millinery" this season.
Flowers, ribbons and feathers say
that it is. The early spring fash
ions have come as a prologue in
fiowery program which not only
promises flowers on milady's cha
peau, but adorable details are
planned, such as trimming the neck
line or the edge of little shoulder

g Jim Finally Fell for Love g


They finished their work at about
the same time and for no reason
in particular Jim asked Kate what
she was going to do next. Kate
looked up, blushing a little, and
jim felt that perhaps he had been
abrupt with her. She had worked
like a little steam engine and he
had never thought of her as being
even human. That is why he asked
her to have luncheon with him.
There were so few places open
downtown on Sunday and she lived
far uptown. After luncheon he
asked her again what she was go
ing to do, and again she blushed
and said nothing. I'm going to
take a ferry across the river and
then take a walk along the river
bank on the other side" he told her.
Kate said she envied him and so
Jim asked her if she would care
to go with him.
Spring in the air made the river
bank very beautiful that afternoon,
and as Jim and Kate climbed up
and down the steep embankments
Jim held Kate's round little arm to
keep her from slipping. He made
no effort to be agreeable or other
wise to this girl whom he saw every
day but he began to realize that it
was very good to have her with
him.
Then they sat on an embedded
boulder that looked out over the
river below. Jim felt as if he were
a thousand miles away from the
city. He looked at the shapely
hand stretched out on the rock be
side him and studied those fingers
that had worked so efficiently for
him that morning.
It seemed the most natural thing
in the world to lift that hand up

lifted it to his lips to kiss it. Sud
denly jim felt awkward. He felt
as if he had arrived somewhere
without knowing how he had come.
He began to wonder whether he
could trace his steps back again.
Then he wondered whether he
really wanted to.
"YOu aren't angry with me, are
you-Kate?" he said.
"Of course not, Jim," she said,
and he noticed that tears cleaned
in her pretty brown eyes. you
know have always liked you, jim"
And l have always thought you
the best stenOgrapher in the
world" said Jim, feeling suddenly
that perhaps he had better find his
way back again. But Kate took her
hand away from him and turned,
trying in vain to hide a falling
tear.
Il think much more than that"
said Jim, feeling suddenly very for
lOrn without that little hand in his
He took it back again and kissed
it.
'Tm so happy, Jim-dear," said
Kate, and then without knowing
how it happened Jim realized that
his arms were around Kate and
that her smooth little head was
resting on his shoulder.
When Jim got back to the apart
ment at six that night he found
Tom sprawling in an easy chair be-
fore the fireplace in which glowed
a few fading embers. jim took off
his light coat and hat and dropped
down in a chair on the other side
of the fireplace. For an hour the
two men sat there-the same rath-
er foolish, contented expression
written on both faces. Then when
the last flicker of light died from
the embers Tom reused himself
He suggested having something to
eat.

COMETIMES Tom sat tenSely at
- the little writing table for an
hour or more writing to his be-
loved Edith. Sometimes he just sat
sprawIed out in an easy chair be-
fore the fire idly dreaming-of
Edith, who lived eight hundred
miles away and whom he saw but
seldom.
This keeping bachelor apartments
with a man engaged was beginning
to get on Jim's nerves. For weeks,
even before Tom was engaged, he
had been, as jim thought, mentally
unbalanced.
Perhaps the worst feature of
Toms malady was his apparent
ioyousness. He sat there with such
an idiOtic expression of happiness
on his good looking face.
Kate Fenwick had worked in the
same office with Jim for two or
three years. Nice girl, Kate-was
what he thought about her If he
thought anything.
Business was extremely brisk to-
ward spring and it was apparent
one Saturday that some special re-
ports would have to be put through
on Sunday. The president of the
concern asked jim to attend to
them and incidentally suggested to
Kate Fenwick that she meet Jim
at the office to take dictation.
They began working that spring
Sunday at nine o'clock and Jim was
so interested in his work that he
never once thought of Kate as any
thing more than an autOmaton I'M
til ii was past twelve. That was
one thing that made Kate such a
good stenOgrapher. She was never
obtrusive-didn't use perfume or
wear dangling bracelets or bright
colOrs.

= Gains for Pigs

Growing pigs make better gains
when they are self-fed than when
they are hand fed. The reason for
this is that their appetites are rath-
er hard to satisfy and they will
consume small amounts of feed very
often and make better gains.
Along with the grain should be
fed some protein supplement, either
tankage and oilmeal two parts to
one, or a commercial mixture. The
buttermilk can replace these If fed
in large enough quantities.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

Once upon a time Uncle Wiggily
was out in the woods, looking
around to see where he might find
a nice Christmas tree that he could
gnaw down and drag to his hollow
stump bungalow. For it would be
Christmas very soon; in a few days
now, and Mr.. Lougears wanted to
get the tree ready for the many
presents that would be hung on it,
or placed under it, for the forty
'leven sixteen little bunny children.
Though when I stop to count
them all up" said Uncle Wiggily
to himself. as he hoped over the
snow covered fields. L think will
need an extra large tree to hold all
the presents. And if gnaw down
too large a tree I will not be able
to drag it to my bungalow with
out help. However, I think I must
pick out a large tree.
Uncle Wiggily said these last
words aloud, sort Of thinking to
himself, and, after he had spoken
them he heard another voice
saying:
We'll, I only need a very little
tree. I wonder if you could help
me find it, Mr. Longears?'

so I did, with the paint I had

Wiggily said. OF course l re-
member youi Have you the orna-
ments all ready?"
Yes. All I need now is the
Christmas tree" said Mrs. Mouse
We'll, here is the very thing for
YOU" cried Uncle Wiggily, as he
saw small evergreen growing be-
side the woodland path. "Ill gnaw
it down for you and take it to
your house. Then I'll come back
and get a Christmas tree for my
bungalow
oh. thank you, so much!" mur-
INJURED Mrs. Mouse. pulling her
patched shawl more closely about
her and lifting one paw to let
some melted snow run out of the
hole in the rubber she wore as she
had no shoes.
Uncle Wiggily, with his strong
teeth, soon gnawed down wee,
tiny Christmas tree for the poor
mice. When the tree had fall
len over on the snow, the white
crystals sparkling in the green
branches, Mr.. Longears took hold
of the bottom and began to drag
it toward the home Of the mouse
lady, which was in a knot hole
under an old barn.
Are the children home?" whisp-
cred Uncle Wiggily, pausing at the
knot hole house door.
No. Why?" asked poor Mrs.
Mouse.
We'll" said Uncle Wiggily. it
would never do to let them see us
bringing in the Christmas tree. 1t
is much better done secretly. So
you go look in your house and
make sure none of the children
are there"
Mrs. Mouse went to look and
when she was gone, Uncle Wiggily
quickly put his paw in his pocket.
The mouse lady came out TO say
that none of the children was in,
and Mr. Longears quickly set the
tree inside the hole and ran back
to the woods to gnaw down his
, own. And when the poor mouse
lady looked among the tree
branches she found a lot OF money
hidden thereof, such a lot OF
money.
"Hurray!" she squeaked. Now
can buy presents for my little
micel I wonder murmured Mrs,
Mouse, who left the money in the
Christmas tree?" But if you know
please don't tell.
