LIVE STOCK REMINDERS

Feeding cubes to live stock is on
the increase in this country. With
the feed pressed into cubes there
is less waste.
Any port in storm, of course.
But a straw pile is one of the
poorest of all possible poor ports
for the hogs when a BLIZZARD or a
sudden cold spell hits the farm.
In cases where grain is scarce
and it is necessary to utilize largely
rOughage, lowgrade StOcker and
feeder steers or heifers are expect
ed to prove quite profitable for next
spring.
Brood sows need exercise. They
also require some well-cured alfal-
fla or clover hay. A good mineral
mixture will help keep the sOws in
condition. Let them have free ac-
cess to both hay and minerals.
A layer of straw several inches
thick placed over the single board
roof of the hog house or poultry
house to prevent frost forming in
side the roof is a good practice.
Frosty ceilings melts and make the
house damp.
We should not forget that barley
is a good grain for pork prOduc-
ton and that dairy by-products are
excellent carriers of very high
class of protein that serves well
as a supplement for both barley and
corn.
Swine should have some sort of
houses. either central sheds or in
invidual houses. In extremely cold
weather bank these houses with
straw to keep out the wind and con-
serve the body heat of the hogs,
but be sure to leave sufficient ven
| tilation.
When kept producing two lftters
a year the sOWs are more regular
and certain breeders and the cost
of weaving pigs is much less; for,
while it costs a little more to feed
a SOW that raises two litters a
year, the cost is not nearly twice
as much as when only one litter
is produced.

Fresh Air Is Cheapest
Thing in Stock Ration

The cheapest thing in the ration
for all live stock is fresh air. 1t
contributes to the income from
milk and meat as surely as does
liberal feeding of complete
ration.
But this doesn't mean fresh air
should come into the barn through
cracks or open doors. 1t should
come in by means of a well-de
signed ventiIating system which at
the same time removes the stale,
moisture laden air. A dairy COW
breathes out ten pounds of water
in "a hours.
A good ventilating system re-
quires good wall construction to
hold heat in. There must be stop
page of all openings where passage
of air is not wanted, and insula-
tion to prevent escape of heat.
Neglect insulation and your venti-
latiOn system will be faulty, your
feed bills will be higher, your prof
it will be lower.

Alfalfa Hay Produced More
Rapid Gains.

When corn, tankage, linseed OIL
meal and alfalfa hay were COM
pared at the Michigan Agricultural
college for winter pig feeding, 1t
was found that:
I. Alfalfa hay produced some
what more rapid gains and required
considerable less feed for 100
pounds gain than did alfalfa meal
or linseed oilmeal when each was
fed with shelled corn, tankage and
minerals.
2. Alfalfa meal made practically
the same daily gains, but required
somewhat more feed for 100
pounds gain than did linseed Oil
meal, when each lot was fed shelled
corn, tankage and minerals.
3. The addition of linseed oil
meal to a mixture of tankage and
alfalfa meal or alfalfa hay pro-
duced somewhat less rapid gains
and raised the feed requirements
slightly when each mixture was fed
with shelled corn, tankage and
minerals.
4. The addition of alfalfa hay
to tankage and linseed Oilmeal
when each combination was fed
with shelled corn and minerals in
creased the gains somewhat and re-
duced the feed requirements for
100 pounds Of gain.
5. Alfalfa hay with tankage and

ly larger gains and required con
siderably less feed for the gains
produced than did alfalfa meal
with tankage and linseed oilmeaI
when each was fed with shelled

Feed and Management
of Boar for Profits

There is a saving as old as the
industry that THE boar is more
than half the herd" and yet in
many cases the feed and manage
ment of the boar are given the
least consideration of any phase of
pork production. Very frequently
the boar is confined in a small pen
with little chance for exercise, but
exercise is an important factor in
keeping the boar in vigorous,
healthy, breeding condition. Sat
isfactory shelter should also be
provided. Shelter need not be
elaborate but it should give protec-
tiOn against unfavOrable weather
conditions.

 Everybody likes mushrooms, and their delicious flavor will always put them in the class of luxuries and delicacies whether they be purchased at a reasonable price at the market or gathered in the meadows. There are many excel lent brands of canned mushrooms on the market, too, so that some form of this delicacy is always available.
 Unless you are absolutely sure of the edibility of mushrooms that are gathered in the fields, it's much safer to use the cultivated ones. Too much danger from poisoning lies in eating mushrooms which have been gathered by any, one but an authority on this sub ject.
 The nutritive value of mush- rooms is not great, although they are often called vegetable beef steaks" Their protein content is good, but since they are almost go per cent water, a goodly quantity of them would have to be eaten to make them a true meat substi- ute. EN6n InSn they dl0 uChSiSht in some of the nutriments found in lean meats. They are valuable chiefly for their uniqueness of fla vor and as a meat stretcher.
 Just a word about the prepara- tion of mushrooms. Careless. hand ling can mar both their flavor and tenderness. Unless very dirty and sandy they should not be washed for water tends to make them tough and also destroys their fla- vor. Separate the caps from the stems. Scrape the stems and peel the caps if the skin is tough. Since the stems often are tougher than the caps they are used separately, or if used in the same dish with caps, are allowed an extra time for cooking.
 A Boon to Spinach
 Although We usually combine mushrooms with expensive mate rials to make rich dishes for spe- cial occasions, their delightful fla vor can be used with very ordi- nary materials to create truly de- licious connections. For instance, mushrooms t4dded to spinach will often help this long-suffering veg etable gain popularity.

YOUR CHILDREN
By Olive Roberts Barton 6sasI sY NEz sER0icF INC. .

Adler tells us that some people come into the world with imper- feet organisms, and this gives child a sense of inferiority all through childhood and into later life.
 By that time the conviction of inferiority has worked its havoc on character and general unhappi- ness results.
 I know a woman who is almost perfect example of this. For- tunately she is intelligent enough to understand her trouble and strong -willed enough to try to combat it, and to great extent she has succeeded. I had her whole story not long ago and in telling it she remarked rather bit- terly. 'If my mother had only understood me and what was go- ing through, I could have been spared so much!"
 A Hidden Weakness. She was not born with impaired organisms, but an illness in very early childhood left an insidious weakness of mind and body that even her parents did not suspect.
 Everything she did tried her, her lessons were difficult and she was psychologically young" for her age. She wanted to play younger games than her compan- ions, and consequently they made fun of her. She was blamed for being lazy when she was really weary (thyroid perhaps), and her family ridiculed her. When she got behind in school it was some thing to be jeered at and lectured about.
 She soon became obsessed with the idea that she was different and as all children will do under the circumstances began to evolve means whereby to impress other people with her importance.
 A boy usually turns bully. She did the same with feminine char acteristics. She said frankly that she turned snob, gossip, and trou- ble maker.
 Established Her Superiority" q took delight" she said, "even as a girl of twelve, in coldly eye | ing people up and down from their hats to their shoes because l had discovered that it made them un- easy. It gave me the upper hand with strangers 1 made some or the girls afraid of me by tattling and others despise me by exag- gerating my own importance. No one liked me any way. felt, so that part of it did not matter. What I was doing was trying to attract attention. Secretly l was miserable but 1 had a mania for concealing from people that l was of no account and I was deter mined to fool them and make them believe that I counted" Many people can match this story with their own experience. It is too dreadfully bad to throw it up a child that he is "silly," ." lazy" or mo account" at any time, but when there is physical reason, often obscure of course, that IS worse still. for its results are cruel and far-reaching.

Bread and Butter Pickles
 Are Good on Buns Too
By Florence La canke

'If were you, Lois, I would buy my pickled cucumbers-that is the little gherkins or the long dill pickles. There is great amount of knowledge needed to make these pickles so they are crisp and suc- culent. The formula needs to be changed each year depending on the water content of the cucumber. Putting pickles in ice water, or adding alum or grape leaves will never prove a safe and sure way of getting crisp pickles. What works one year will not work the next.
 The commercial picklers cure their cucumbers for weeks in a brine and then store them. We can't hope to compete with them. They have made their work a science.
 But when it comes to pickles like bread and butter ones, some- times called "yum-yum" the case is different. There we can produce good pickles at home.

It was nearly noon when they arrived. True to Marks prediction the sun was shining. Great fleecy clouds, moving so slowly that they seemed stationary, darkened the azure sky by their whiteness. It had been crisp october in Mari- boro. Blue Springs was cool enough for light wraps, warm enough that seasoned bathers were still taking their daily dips.
 The arrival of Mir and Mrs Mark Trayers had not been unheralded. Clicking cameras were the first in- dication of the welcoming commit tee. Newspaper photographers. having secured informal photo graphs. asked the newly married couple to pose. While Norma hesi- tated Mark gave cheerful assent. There was a girl reporter on hand to ask details of the romance. Marks replies to her questions about them the young woman was able to weave a glowing. modern Cinderella story about the beautifui stenographer who married mill lionaire's son.
 And do your parents approve the marriage?" the reporter asked.
 "Oh, yes! Certainly"
 The other side of this story reached telegraphic press services shortly after F. M. Travers, in Marlboro, saw reproductions Of the Blue Springs photographs in his morning newspaper. Pungent and brief were F. M. Travers' remarks.

0LORIFYING
 YOURSELF

If you're suffering from a double chin, stop worrying and do something about it. There are a few exercises and treatments which are easy to do right at home and they are almost sure to rid you of the extra chin that is marring your beauty.
 Double chins usually indicate overweight. So if your scales show that you are carrying few extra pounds, get bsy with proper diet and some exercises and lose the surplus. Give your chin a strenu- ous batting daily. Hold your fin- gers close together and, beginning well down your throat, vigorously put upward under your chin. Do this twice a day for three minutes at time.
 Be sure that you stand and sit up straight with your chin and close your mouth fifteen or twenty times. Feel how the muscles under your chin tighten. Don't do it more than twice a day or you're apt to stretch the muscles instead of tightening them. Vigorous mas saging also tends to stretch your muscles, so pat rather than rub your chin and neck.
 It's almost impossible to get a chin strap which will fit and yet be loose enough not to irritate the skin. Soak a piece of cotton in a strong astringent, place it up un- der your chin and tie it on with a towel or bandage which can be pinned or tied at the top of your head to hold the pad firmly in place.
 Clean your face and neck each night with soap and water. Then apply your cleansing cream, wipe it off, and pat your skin with a strong astringent, being very gen. erous with it under your chin. Now do the batting exercise on your chin and throat and finish your beauty treatment by tying the as- tringent-soaked, cotton pad under your chin for twenty minutes.

 The operators voice, crisp and cool and efficient. entirely disin- terested, came to Sue.
 "Your party isn't at the number you gave"
 "But when will he be in?" Sue asked. She wondered why she had not thought of the possibility that Jack would be gone. Of course, he would! It was much earlier in California. She would leave word for him to call her.
 The operator had talked anc her voice came again.

 "He--doesn't? But seconds were precious, Sue knew, so she spoke quickly. "Then may I speak to someone there?"
 Almost at once she heard a mans voice. Jack Thornton? Oh, he's been gone for weeks. Moved out some time ago. I'm sorry, madam. He didn't leave a for .warding address. We have been returning his mail"
 She hung up the receiver with a strange, eerie feeling that some- thing was desperately wrong somewhere. Jack had disappear ed. But why? He didn't know she had written to him. He had not received any of her compli-

cated explanations. He did not even know anything that had hap pened to her. He had disappear ed.
 But Sue wasn't through with her telephoning. Something had happened to Jack. Perhaps no one else knew about 1t. She would call his father and inquire. She forgot the enmity that she had felt for Jacks father since he had prosecuted her own father in the bank theft trial. She knew only that he was Jacks father, the person in the world, next to her self, who was most interested in him.
 This call came through quickly The deep, even tones of Judge Thornton answered her own voice.
 Judge Thornton? This is Sue Merryman. Could you tell me what has happened to Jack?" ITO Jack?" The voice was very calm. Nothing at all, am very sure."

Mark and Norma made their final dash up the steps of the hotel.
 Oh, that was fun Mark. Fun!" Norma leaned weakly against a heavy porch chair.
 It was at that moment tall man in brown approached the pair.
 "Travers!" he exclaimed. "I didn't know that you were here. When'd you arrive?"
 Mark was returning the energe- tic handshake. "Glad to see you; Stone," he said. "Oh, we've been here almost week. Norma" he turned toward the girl, here's someone I want you to know. Hol- lis Stone-old friend. Stone, this Is Mrs Travers, my wife"
 Norma offered her hand. How she managed it she never knew. She raised two blue eyes beneath fluttering lids. Her face had gone paper-white.
 How do you do," she said in voice that was certainly not her own. She tried to meet the new comer's eyes again.
 In that glance she knew he had recognized her.

NOW GO o NINTH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV

Mark dug one hand down into his waistcoat pocket before he spoke again. He drew out a box A very tiny box of dazzling white. ness. He snapped the lid back and a gleaming circlet of diamonds ap- peared. They were set in 8 band of platinum.
 Almost forgot about this," he said. Let's see if it fits"
 He slipped the jeweled band over the third finger of Norma's left hand. The ring twinkled ur at her like star dust. The tiny dia- monds became disc of fire. They flashed white heat into the dusky train compartment. Or were they tear drops frozen and strung like beads?
 'How-how beautiful-i"
 Words were such useless things They failed Norma completely Something hot and choking gath cred in her throat. She could not speak. Almost she could not breathe. Never had she dreamed anyone could be 50 frighteningly, ecstatically happy.
 And so because she could not find the words to answer the girl raised her two hands, one to either of Marks cheeks, held his face closely for long instant. and then pressed her lips to his.
 Oh, these two were so young, so very much in love!
 "But he ring does fit! See-it's just right!" she was insisting a little later.
 Mark disagreed. He held up the encircled finger to prove the band slipped about too loosely. There was the possibility of losing the ring. He had not realized what slender, delicate fingers his bride had.
 We can have it made smaller at Blue Springs" he suggested.
 Fear that she might lose the wedding ring made Norma agree at once. Words came easily now. over and over she told Mark how beau tiful the diamonds were. She meant this, yet it was not the beauty of the stones and their set ting which awed her. It was the significance of the ring. This band on her finger was the symbol of IL tOlu tuc WOTi0 ShG was Mark Travers' wife.
 Good Lord-it is late! You'll be starved!" Mark made lunge at the electric button which sum- moned the porter. Within IS min- utes they were being served din- ner.
 Happy, kid?"
 "Oh--of course!"
 At Blue Springs, there began a world of only Norma and Mark with dimly visionary strangers oc- casionally drifting in and out of the background-wait who served their meals, chauffeurs who drove the motor cars in which they rode, golf caddies. an orchestra. other dancers who might have been miles away for all their pres ence on the dance floor meant to these two.
 Blue Springs was completely per- feet and it was completely theirs.
