CRASHED CuttIe
At SLAUGHTER Stuue

Cattle should be gaining
weight, not losing, at the time
of slaughter.
That's the tip from animal
husbandmen, who advise farm
ers who expect to get their own
beef supply from grass-fat cat
tie to slaughter them now.
Once beef animals lose the fat
they have gained off grass, it
takes several months of expen-
sive grain feeding to put it back.
Young cattle, as q rule, pro-
duce more tender meat than
older cattle, although the meat
from those with more age is
likely to have a better flavor.
Heifers are satisfactory for the
home meat supply. They fatten
when young more readily than
steers and usually have less
market value.

Life in the Country
Covey Of Quail Dance and Play
During Morning Visits at 40 Acres ]

We have a covey of quail on
The 40 Acres that pays us a
visit at the house every morn
ing.
They come regularly each
morning and play for a time out
under the big maple tree. They
stay most of the time in the gar
den, where there is a banquet
of seeds from weeds that have
grown up during the drought.
The other morning they were
playing some sort of a game.
There always is one quail that is
the guard. He sits on mound
Of earth and keeps watch while
the others play.
They will take turns flying up
into the maple. First one, then
another will fly into the tree, and
then flutter down to the ground
again.
They do a sort of dance, too.
While they are walking about
the yard, suddenly one of the
birds will jump into the air. This
goes on until they tire and wan
der off into the garden again.
1t is fun watching them. May
be if we spread a little grain
about, we can keep them with
us all winter.

Our pastures are dry and we
have to give the old COW a little
hay these days. Too bad, be-
cause there should be a month of
grazing left if we had little
rain.
There are some compensa-
tionS. however, I don't have to go
out after the cow every morning
and night. All I have to. do is
call, and she comes trotting up
to the barn.
There have been times when I
got home late and had consider
able trouble finding my COW.
She would be off in some corner
of the pasture, and without a
strong light I couldn't locate her.
She would blend into the back
ground, and I would almost have
to bump into her before I could
do the milking.
There was one night, I re-
member, that I had considerable
trouble finding>the cow. finally
got her into the barn and climbed
into the loft for a little hay.
There was an open trap door
there that mistook for solid
footing and I fell back down

ern home. An incloSed porch
can be used If on the sunny side
of the house. Indoors, it would
seem best to employ the gravel
pan and plastic cylinder de-
signed for the orchid grower
who keeps his orchids in his
home.
Many gardeners are inclined
to want to buy and plant the
berried shrubs at this season of
the year. In most cases they will
find it safer to purchase them
in the spring. The lovely blue
berried beauty berry (Callicarpa
americana), the orange-fruited
firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea,
var. LalandD and the red-truit-
ed holIies transplant in the
spring with less risk of loss.
Burn sweetcorn stalks and
stubs, also dahlia stems, to des-
troy the winter home of the
European corn borer-the pest
that tunnels inside the stalks
and weakenS them. Chopping
the stalks into pieces and spad-
ing into the ground also will kill
the borers, but putting them into
the compost pile is of doubtful
value unless chopped up, covered
with soil and lined.
The decomposition of leaves
and other vegetable matter in
the compost pile can be greatly
speeded by the addition of q
pound of commercial fertilizer
and one-half pound of ground
limestone to each five bushels of
vegetable matter. Spread soil
over each layer-an inch layer
is enough.
Keep the new lawn mown-
to let the grass reach height of
more than 4 inches is to encour-
age disease (if the weather turns
moist). Cutting helps to avoid
soft Succulent growth that is
most likely to develop disease.
Also it encourages "stooling"-
sending outside shoots.
Vegetable gardeners should
lift turnips, beets, carrots and
satisfy, and store in pits or in
moist sand in a cool, but FROST
free situation. The parsnips
store best in the soil, but for
immediate use a few may be dug
and stored in moist sand.
Pumpkins and squash should
be harvested and allowead to
ripen (shellS harden) in sunny
dry situation before moving in
doors to a cool, dry place. Avoid
bruiSing the Shell.-W. H. w.

Inspect Shrubs, Trees

Make a special, painStaking
inspection tour of the shrubs and

it's easier to find evidence of

Now that we are the party of

the same positive and constructive

Dear Friend and Co-Worker:
Inauguration Day is over. We
Democrats must begin planning
our next move to assure Demo
cratic victory in 1854.
We have a Republican President
in the White House and a bare
Republican majority in the Con
gress. This shows that the land

dividual, was not victory for
the Republican Party. 1t was in
no sense a Reputation of the Dem

Heretofore, any President who
won sizeable majority always
swept into office with him an
overwhelming majority Of the can
didates who ran with him in the
campaign. This did not happen last
November. So, we Democrats are
making our plans for the future.
