In the hurly -nurly of a po-

The Adlai Stevenson camp has
a number of attractive Steven

around with fancy umbrellas,
attractive straw hats and pretty

former Illinois Governor before
the delegates.
One of the Stevenson girls was

Virginia is preserving its neu-

Homemade Feeder Attachment
Makes Winter Feeding Easy
By ALVIN ODENBACH, RicbLand County

NO MATTER IF you have 500 or
5000 head of sheep, feeding them is
a lot of work if you have to carry the
grain to them in buckets, pitch the
Silage on a truck and off again and
pitch hay out to the end of a 16-foot
bunk, whether it's whole or chopped.
And when you get over 1000 or 1,4G0,
you almost need a hired man. So you
run into the problem of finding a man
that's dependable and, with livestock
prices as they are. that's quite an
expensive luxury.
We've had our power-wagon for a
couple of years and always wished we
could use it to feed with as the pictures
in magazines show. That would involve
a complete change-Over from our pre-
vious feeding arrangements but we
finally decided to go ahead.
In the summer of 1855 we field
chopped dry our first cutting of al
falfa and piled it close to the corral.
The corn silage pit is about 500 feet
from the corral.
Last fall we bought an old combine
with a straight 12-foOt auger on it.
We mounted 10 feet of this auger to
the back end of the power box first
removing the beaters) and connected
the drive shaft that drove the heaters

to the auger. Next we changed the
gear ratio driving the platform so it
would unload the full length in about
twO-thirds of a block.
l then made a measuring tank to
use at the grain bin that would drop
into the auger and onto the power box.
Next, drive to the pile of chopped hay
and load it with the power loader. Then
into the corral and feed 800 in about 5
minutes. Without Sideboards the box
will hold enough for 800 head at one
time.
Mornings, put grain on the bottom
of the box, then dry beet pulp and
then alfalfa hay. Evenings, the same
way, except feed silage instead of
hay. I load the silage with the loader
also.
l put headbolt heaters into both trac-
tors so that they would be sure to
start on cold mornings.
Last winter l fed 1900 lambs and
50 head of cattle by myself-hay, grain
and dry beet pulp-in an hour and
never pitched fOrkful or carried a
bucket of grain The auger does a
thorough job of mixing too. An animal
couldn't grab kernel of grain without
also getting some hay or silage with
1t, eliminating much of Over-gobbling
of grain by any one animal.

The opening was the six of
hearts and Mr.. Masters put up
the queen. Playing it safe and
hoping that Mr.. Masters held
not more than two hearts, Mrs
Keen let the queen win The
seven of hearts was returned and
the Jack lost to Miss Brash's ace.
At this point it was clear to
Miss Brash that another heart
lead would set up the balance of
her suit. But what purpose
would that serve? The closest
thing she had to a re-entry was
the jack of diamonds.
She decided that if the con-
tract could be defeated at all, it
would have 70 be done by the
cards IN Mr.. Masters hand.
What to lead, then, at trick
three?
From the looks of the dummy
1t appeared that a club lead
would only help Mrs. Keen. As
to diamonds. Mrs. Keen had bid
that suit and there was a sup
porting honor on the board.
That left only the spade suit.
II Mrs. Keen had two of the top
spade honors it was unlikely
that the contract could be de-
feated In any case a spade
looked like the best shot.
So out came tbs ten of spades.
The Jack went on from dummy
and Mr. Masters played the
queen, which was permitted to
win. He returned a low spade
and again Mrs. Keen ducked.
She won the third round of the
suit with the ace and now every
thing depended on the clubs.
Apparently there was an ex-
cellent chance that the king of
clubs was in Miss Brash's hand
as she had overcalled with no
high honors in spades and dia-
monds and only the ace Of
hearts. But such reasoning does
not apply to Miss BraSh. She
doesn't need much to get into
the bidding.
Mrs. Keen took the club
flnesse and Mr.. Masters won
with the king and cashed an
other spade trick for down two.
Note that If Miss Brash had
woodenly returned a heart at
trick three. Mrs. Keen would
have had plenty of time to set
up dummy's long club suit while
she still had a spade stopper.
