VITAMINS IMPORTANT IN ANIMAL BUILDING The success with which North Carolina farmers raise their pig, Iamb and calf crops to meet expanding national food needs may depend in a large part on the kind of rations they supply their breeding stock, says Earl H. Hostetier, professor of animal husbandry at N. C. State College. Rations well fortified with vitamins and minerals are required for normal reproduction, and vitamins A ,E and C have received most attention in relation to reproduction. Carotene, which is present in well-cured green hay, fresh green pasture, grass, well-made corn, grass and legume silage, and yellow varieties of carrots, squash and sweet potatoes, is the principal source of vitamin A, highly essential in the reproduction of all farm animals. However. Hostetier pointed out, carotene is rapidly destroyed in feeds, especially under conditions of poor storage, so precautions must be taken to provide adequate amounts particularly to pregnant animals. Most good rations contain adequate amounts of vitamin E, and only in unusual cases is it likely that animals may be sterile because E is lacking. Such feeds as wheat bran, shorts, linseed meal, hominy feed, white and yellow corn, cottonseed meal, and kafir are good sources of vitamin E, as are njost of the common hay and pasture crops.

WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER Dale Carnegie ) Author of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" | HANDLING A 'GLOOMY GUS" i "Gloomy Gus" was the name of a igrocery clerk in Los Angeles. Not jonly was he gloomy, but uncommunicative, and made the shortest possible answers. He was famous in the neighborhood for being crotchety and his store was patronized because it was the only one near. This information comes to me through Claribcl L . Bicktord of ^ Pacific Palisades, California. She is ja teacher. ou She was miffed and hurt when she first met Gloomy Gus. 'What!*' she said to nerseif. "Let him treat me that way. Never!" But the store ! was handy so she swallowed her r ,;pridt and accepted his cold rebuffs. One day in reading a book she ran across a sentence which * stuck in rer mind. It reads as follows: "The royal road to a man's heart is \c talk to him about the things he I treasures most." j. ] She started out to find out what ^ ! Gloomy Gus was interested in. Each i time she was rebuffed. Then, from ! an outside Source, she found that he n*^ | was interested in his garden and ^ I uiai Ine sptru an ms spare time gardn_ j ening. She asked him about his garden. Instead of getting a grunt, I the man paused and half turned j around and looked at her as if he had never seen her before. She askjn ed a few more questions, and the ^ man began to talk about his hobby, tlc finally giving her advice and inn_ ispecting her garden. Much of the j beauty of her garden today is due ti-. to the fact that she decided to talk m j to a man about "the things he treas' tires most." | Remember that the next time you d run across a Gloomy Gus. it will id work miracles, tg s- William Kenidon. who was Linid coin's law partner for twenty years, .-aid: 'I.iucdn duns like gravity to.' :k his own opinions." ill Strange'.1 Not at all.

So if j you bluntly loll . man he :s wrong ; ?by a Itxik. a tone, a gesture or a jj word?you reflect on itis judgment and his intelligence, and you make 4 I him cling more tenaciously than ever r_ 1 to his opinions?indefensible though ,[j I they may be. So why tell a man he ls doesn't know what he is talking \ about? Will that get you what you want? No. That will merely serve to stir up ill-feeling and start a hot argument. Isn't it much better to say: "Well, now. 1 thought otherwise, but I may be wrong; 1 frequently am. II I am wrong in this instance, I want to be put right. Let's ex' . amine the facts." '* In other words, when you are trying to win people to your way of thinking, be humble, be openminded, honestly search for the facts. As Lord Chesterfield said to his son: "Be wiser than other people if you can; but do not tell them so." iy Remember, if you try to ram your l>" ideas and convictions down other Lb people's throats, they, like Lincoln, ?1 will cling like gravity to their own opinions. Y Then there is the story of the man at ease in a barber's chair, demulsi5e fled under hot towels, when a boy rushed in shouting: "Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Schmidt, your house is on fire:" Horrified, the customer leaps from al the chair, snatches off the apron, Y* and speeds wildly up the street. Aft'b er two or three blocks, he stops suddenly and cries out in perplexity. I. "tvhat the deuce am I doing? My 15 name isn't Schmidt!"?Saturday Red view of Literature.
