Good Pasture Is
Needed for Stock
Permanent Feeding Places
Prevent Topsoil Losses,
Check Gullies.

Cattle get plenty of exercise but
produce little meat and milk from
worn out pastures. Properly man
aged pastures control erosion on
sloping fields and produce the
cheapest of all live stock feeds.
Overgrazed pastures are soon re-
duced to playground for hungry
cows and mules.
Good permanent pastures pre-
vent losses of top soil and the
formation of gullies. Together with
trees they represent the only nat
ural and ncome-producing means
for protecting slopes too steep for
the production of clean-cultivated
crops.
If you want to keep your pasture
from becoming live stock gynna-
sium and protect the soil from
washing. away, application of these
timely pasture hints is suggested:
l. Do not Craze heavily in dry
seasons.
g. Now the weeds and shrubs
that rob moisture.
3. Let new seedlings make a good
top growth before grazing.
4. Plant temporary pastures of
Sudan grass, soy beans, cowpeas,
etc., to tide the livestock over the
entire season.

Soap Known to Ancients

Soap, both as medical and
cleansing agent, was known to the
ancients. Pliny speaks of two kinds,
hard and soft, as used by the Ger
mans. He mentions it as originally
Gallic invention for giving a
bright hue to the hair. 1t is prob
able that soap came to the Romans
from Germany. Although soap is
referred to in the Old Testament,
authorities believe that ashes of
plants or other such purifying
agents are implied. The earliest
kinds of soap appear to have been
made of goats talloW and beech
ash. AS early as the Thirteenth
century, however, a factory making
soap from olive oil was established
at Marseilles. Soap making. was in
troduced into England during the
next century.

Feeding Young Pigs

The amount of feed required to
add 100 pounds to a 75-pound pig
depends upon how long the feed
ing period is to last. A total of $40
pounds of feed will add the re-
quired amount in a period of ten
weeks. The feeds include 80 pounds
of fish meal or tankage, 120 pounds
of corn meal, 20 pounds of wheat
shorts, and ITO pounds of shelled
corn. The first three items are
fed as a slop mixture with the
corn being fed separately.

"Bryn," Deborah whispered, fran

Bryn turned toward Grandmoth-

pillows pale as death, her hand at
her heart. She thought Tubby was
an impostor.
But Bryn went across to her. "Are

CultiVating Alfalfa Stands

Cultivating alfalfa stands after
cutting off crop was once rather
widely practiced. Several expert
ment stations have had beneficial
results from disking or using the
spring tooth harrow, while others
have shown a decrease. There was
a benefit when blue grass was held
down by cultivation. In the past
the widespread appearance of al
falfa wilt has discouraged cultiva-
ton because it is believed that the
practice tends to spread disease.

Mourning Doves

The young of the mourning dove
are helpless when Matched and re-
quire constant care from their par
ents for the two weeks they re-
main on the nest. They are fed
by regurgitation on pigeon milk"
Solid food, such as seeds and in
sects, are gradually substituted un-
til by the time the young are ready
to leave the nest. they are fed al
most entirely on seeds. Mourning
doves are considered among the
most desirable of birds for their
habits of feeding on weed seeds.

Congress Debate Perilous

Anti slavery days were often
perilous ones in the halls of con-
gress. Once, as Owen Lovejcy of
Illinois was delivering a speech he
unconsciously kept advancing to the
front as he spoke. until Southern
representative put a hand on his
shoulder and growled, go back to
your own side!" Immediately the
passageway was full of members,
most of them armed, the "click"
of weapons was heard and they
were all within the bounds of armed
conflict.

Water Required by Horse

Water requirements of the horse
are largely dependent on the
amount and kind of work performed
and the feed used. Carbonaceous
feeds oxidize more completely than
nitrogenous feeds. A horse fed tim
othy hay and oats, with compara-
BILE weight and work, will drink
less water than one fed alfalfa
and grain of higher protein con-
tent. At medium work, a 1,400-
pound horse will average drinking
IL to IA gallons of water daily

Agriculture in Philippines

Although the Philippines are
chiefly agricultural. only about 49,
300 square miles of their ia, 400
square miles of area are cultivat-
ed. One of the several reasons is
the abundance of coarse grasses
that spring up if fields are neglect
ed. In many cases it is easier
to clear patch in the jungle than
to reclaim a field captured by
grasses. 1t is not surprising that
many of the islands exports to
this and other countries are fibers,
and fiber products.

Program to

College of Music to
Have Benefit for
Peterboro Colony.

~ SUNDAY, May 10, at $50
pm. Mrs. Edward Mac
DoWell will participate in an
~ evenings program given for
the benefit Of the MacDoWell Colony
at Peterboro, N H., at the Washing
ton College Of Music. All expenses
for this program are being donated,
so that all proceeds will be turned
over to Mrs. MacDowell.
Ernest Schelling, who is president
of the Edward Mcdowell Associa-
ton. has sent his beautiful collection
of pictures of the colony, which have
not been shown except in New York
City. These will be commented upon
by Julia Schelling. sister OF the
pianist.
Mrs. MacDowell, herself, will give
"reminiscences and play several groups
of her husbands compositions, fol-
lowing which William Holden will
play the first movement of the
Second Concerto, in D Minor" Mr..
Holden has studied the work with
Edwin Hughes of New York, using Mr..
Hughes edition, which was made in
collaboration with Mrs. MacDowell
and with the encouragement OF the
late Oscar Sonneck.
A local committee Of sponsors OF
the event includes Mary Howe, who
was a sojourner at the Peterboro
Colony last Summer. Others chosen
for local committee are representa-
tives of literary, dramatic and the
allied arts. since the colony has proved
haven for creative artists of every
field of activity during its 20 years
of existence.
From the first, Mrs. MacDowell has
borne the immediate burdens of the
place. and has shaped its destiny.
She has been the active manager OF
the colony, always in residence at
Hillcrest during the Summer, super
vising the building of studios, roads
and houses, and the management of
the farm and other departments.
Until 1927 she travelled throughout the
country every Winter, giving lecture
recitals, the proceeds of which we're
applied to the purposes of the colony.
Valued assistance has come from the
group of men and women who have
been residents in the colony, and an
effort is now being made formally
to organize these persons to help
carry on the traditions Of the colony.
