Timely Suggestions on ; , Management of Houses In years none by, hay was cheap ,ud it was wastefully used. The same ihimr is true now on some farms, worth too much to be used diiTg or wasted In any other iHotlier waste is In not cutting hay ai the proper stage, or curing It in a proper manner. The results are that it tines uot give the best returns or is refused when fed. Where there are many horses to be - *-?_ ? ? for I III"* (ej anil each driver feeds his own team, there Is a considerable loss of both hay and grain. In such cases. onH pom ????* ? tliere should be only one feeder ^nd each horse fed according to his need* no feed wasted. Experience proves that more economical results are secured than when each driver ' feeds his own team. Other forms of waste are ill-fitting harness, especially collars, causing gore necks and shoulders and sween ies. Badly kept feet are often the cause of much discomfort. Horses, to work well, must be free of pain and comfortable. Abuse and mistreatment result in high feed bills. High checks, espe cially the overdraw, and bits that pinch, are a constant , worry and should not be used on the ordinary horse. When three or more horses are driven abreast, sometimes they are not placed right In the team so as to work most comfortably together, and then again they are reined In such a way as to place some of them at a disadvantage and cause worry. u After the driver has learned his torses he should arrange them so that they can work In a free, easy manner and always be comfortable. In using heavy horses at hauling, the size of the load should be Increased rather than the number of trips made. Urg ing them beyond a reasonably rapid walk can be done only at the expense of feed. (.. The teeth should receive proper at tention. Sometimes they are In such condition that the food cannot be well chewed, and consequently Is only par tially digested. This results lq waste of food, Incapacity of the horse and low power. i i , Feed and Exercise Are Essential Sow Factors What are the moat essential factors it the successful management of the brood sow at the time of farrowing) It is Important to feed right. The high price of tankage is keeping farm en from feeding this protein faed to their sows. Corn alone la not sufficient because it Is low In protete <tnd mineral content. Experiments m iowu State college go to show that where one fourth pound of tankage is fed along with corn, Die pigs weighed 0.4 of a pound more at birth and were stronger than the pigs from the cornfed sows. Alfalfa or clover hay are good feeds to furnish protein and bulk. A liberal supply of mineral matter must also be Supplied In the form of salt, soft coal, lime or wood ashes. Exercise Is also an Important factor. * It does the mws good to run all winter In the cornfield or be obliged to go a considerable distance from the sleeping quarters . for their feed. The Inactive sow is usually constipated and feveriah at the time of farrowing, and most of the trouble encountered at this time can he traced to lack of exercise and faulty rations. , Feed and Exercise Are Important to Brood Sow the brood sow needs a variety In her fe*d and exercise. In experiments conducted at the North Dakota' Agri cultural college, under the direction of Professor Shepperd, It was found that mws will readily eat alfalfa hay, and that when this is fed with a mixture of about half barley and half shorts at the rate of two and one-half pounds dally for a 200-pound sow, splendid re mits have been secured. Equal parti barley, oats and bran or shorts also nake a very good feed. Exercise is also very Important. It found that the best way to fire tot grain feed was to sweep the' floor cl*an and scatter the grain feed on It. results In the sows spending hours on their feet getting their feed. Digestive Disturbances When fed to horses, In large quantl wheat is apt to develop digestive disturbances and also cause skin erup tions. The best plan to follow In glr tog the grain to horses If to feed In ?wlerate quantities only..

Daddy's Faiiy Tale GRAHAM BONNER OAK AND BALLOON > ?> "A little boy, a very little boy, was crying, for bis ualloon bad blown away from him and was caught up In an oak tree," said Daddy. ?'Before long, though, the little boy dried his tears and he was given an other balloon. ? - *? "But up in the tree the balloon and an oak leaf were talking. v **'I suppose I was very naughty," said the balloon, 'but I did want to fly away. I just couldn't resist the temptation of taking a little trip with Mr. Wind.' ! '' ""It's. rather hard at times not to do as Mr. Win# tells you to do. I know that,' said the oak leaf. "Tell me about yourself,' said the balloon. 'Why are you and some few other oak leaves still clinging to the tree when all the leaves are off the other trees and when it Is really win ter time?" "?Oh,* said the oak leaf, 'I must tell you about that, for It all comes from an old, old reason.' '"Then there Is a reason for It?' asked the balloon. . 'When Mr. Wind brought me up here I was wondering why there were some leaves upon this tree and not upon the others. "'And so there Is a reason,' the balloon repeated; 'well, 1 am glad to hear that Do tell me the reason now, for I may not stay long. '"Mr. Wind might decide to blow me away fronj "here. You can't tell. ?"I can't tell at any rate.' [ ?"Neither can I tell,' said the oak leaf.- 'Yes, I will tell you my story right away. "There are oaks that are always with their green leaves,' said the oak leaf. " 'Such trees could not stand such a chilly climate as this Is, but there are many of these trees where It Is warmer. " 'Our ancestors wore green leaves His Balloon Had Blown Away. i ' all the time ? ever green were their frocks. " 'And as I've told yon many of the ' family still do so who live In warmer places.. '> "? " 'But we cannot do that. Still, we have a feeling about our leaves. "'We want to ke^p the old family ways? Just a little bit, so a few of us stay on the tree, and do not even let the storms take us away. "'We've changed from our green frocks to red or brownish frocks ? and then we stay on, with quiet brown winter coloring as our little way of showing that we remember what the old ways of the oak family have been. " 'It Is the oak tree's memory. It is a very good memory that the oak trees have.' " "1 should say It was," remarked the balloon, 'and I've l>een glad to hear your story. How Interesting a reason !' "'Ah,' said the oak -leaf, rustling slightly, 'look at all those birds sitting on that long telegraph wire looking at the apartment houses that are along there. ' *"I wonder what they are thinking about. I fancy they must be think ing that they would not like Indoor apartments and houses such as peo ple have! ... "'I know I would not want to live Indoors. . / " 'Fancy an oak tree inside a house. Dear me,- that would be too terrible ? thought We need the rain and the air and the beautiful earth!' \ "Then the great red sun began to think of going to bed and as he did so he too shone upon the window panes of the apartment honses, and he chatted with the city's tall build ings and he said: 1 "'You may be built to reach great heights but you don't begin to come up to me." No, you can't do that M'And what is more you never will! For you're only buildings made by men, mere men!' "/tad Mr. Sun smiled his sunniest nicest smile as he sank down behind the hill for his sleep and the' oak leaf whispered to Mr. Wind: " 'It's a very Interesting world after all.**' i, -x ? . ? ? \ . ? .* %'?* ' ? ?? ? j / Pink Forests.
