B NEWS SYSTEMATIC FEED FOR YOUNG LAMBS Tt h: s boon prom definitely estab lished by pathologists at the experi mental Station thm ton tunny peas, or too mu. h coin, is tho real cause of most feed-lot lamb losses.

The same methods can bo resorted to In lhe San r.nis valley, using alfalfa. cull potatoes, boot tops anti sheaf grain, getting tho lambs filled up well before herding on peas.

It. i Hinmnn of the New fork State Cot ! lege of Agriculture rtf Ithacan Corn, | barley, oats, boiled cttll potatoes and the like can tee made the basis of the energy and heat-forming portions of the feed. Growth-producing funds eftn tie pro vided in meat-meal tankage, fish meal, oil tner.l, alfalfa bay. and good kitch en waste. These will also care for a part or all of the mineral rerplire ments, unless the ration is known to be low in needed minerals. For rdhiary purpose*, however, Professor Hinmnn ivcokmend* the following: a hundred pounds of hom iny. cnrr.menl. or ground barley; a bund re! pounds each of ground oats and wheat bran; .'50 pounds of oil meal, fish men I, or tankage; and lfi pounds of chopped alfalfa hay. As a dally ration, he suggests feeding from one to three pounds, depending on the size and condition of the sow. He says also that if house waste, sweep ings from the cow mangers, or poor I'ilngo are available, they may lie f read on the ground where the sows can get at them. Skim milk may take the place of the* protein part of the above ration, he says. The breeder should remember that he Is feeding not only the sow tint the young pigs.

(Continued from first pajtre.) TOM DIXON STEAKS HERE THl'RSDAY Nttrtl' i land county. North Carolina, January 11, 1H(>4, the son of Rev. Thomas and Amanda (McAfee! Dixon. At the age of nineteen he graduated from i Wake Forest College, this State, fol-j lowiric which he entered Johns Hop- j kins University, Baltimore, Mary-] land, as a special student in history) and polities. This advantage was) gained by means of a scholarship. The following year, 1884, he took up the study of law at the Greensboro Law school, from which he was graduated .11 188(5. That same year lie was admitted to the bar of all the courts in the State, including the United States District Court, and al so to the bar of the United States Su preme Court at Washington. How ever, he resigned these priv.leges in October, 188(5, to enter the ministry. Seven months before he had been married to Miss Harriett Bussey, of Montgomery,- Alahama. It would be a rather difficult task to note in an orderly fashion al! the i steps that Mr. Ihxon took from his graduation at Wake Forest College to his entrance into the ministry. For one thing, he was a member of the North Carolina Legislature from 1884 to 188(5; but other pursuits les sened legislation attractions for him. An interesting fact in connection with his legislation career was that he was a member of the State legis lature before he had reached the vot ng age. In 1887, after his ordination, he was elected pastor of a Baptist church, in Raleigh. During the fol lowing year he occupied a Baptist pulpit in Boston, an dthe next year he accepted a call to New York. There he remained until 1899. Be fore the close of his ministry he en joyed the reputation of attracting larger congregat.ons than any oth er Protestant preacher in the coun try. His ministration was remark ably popular. Many of his pulpit ut terances are to be found in the books which he compiled prior to h.s leav ing New York—‘’Living Problems in Religion and Social Science," (1891);. What ;s Religion?’’, (1902), “Scr- j mons on Ingersoll,’ (1894), and the “Failure of Protestantism in New j York," (1897). As pastor of the Peo ple’s Church he rose to more than local prominence bv reason of his freedom and originality of thought, his vigor of expression, and h.s in dependence of action. He proved on many occasions that he was not a man to he fettered by traditions or by customs; but, at the same time hsJ afar from radicalism. His faith was as strong at the end of his ministry as at the start, and his independence concerned the lesser restraints. It was as a preacher that Mr. Dix on first became ident.fied with fic tion. Camden, the heroic preacher who figures in one of Lilian Bell's stories, was drawn from the same man who afterward drew the herioc figure of Charles Gaston in “The Leopard's Spots." After leaving the People’s Temple he spent much of his time lecturing; and indeed, he is one of the most popular lectures in America. “The Leopards Spots” simmered in his mind for more than a year. The actual wr.ting of the novel oc cupied about sixty days. “The Leo pard's Spots” may fairly be regard ed as the South’s long-deferred an swer to “Unde Tom's Cabin”. In the twelve months following it publica tion 190,000 copies were sold. Besides “The Leopard’s Spots,” which appeared in 1902, Mr. Dixon has written “The One Woman, 1903; “The Clansman,” 1905; “The Life Worth Living," 1905; “The Traitor,” 1907; "Comrades,” 1909; “The Root of Evil,” 1911; "The Sins of the Father.’ v912; “The Southerner.* 1913: “The Victim,” 1914; “Foolish V.rgin,” 1915; “The Birth af a Na tion," (photoplay,) 1915; “Fall of a Nation,” 1910; "The Way of a Man,” 1918; “A Man of the People,” 1920; “The Man in Gray,” 1921; and “The Black Hood,” 1924. \ ___ Mooresboro School Closes 15th-16th.

She smiled In gunnaco fashion and said: “We are dill!. It Is true. “We are Juat about as stupid as It Is 1 possible to he. And yet people think we are Interesting. I suppose they ] judge us from our looks. "Our looks are better than our brains. They’re more uteful. Our 1 brains arc not much, not much,” she j sntil. “The only trouble 1s.” said Mr. Gun naeo, "that we're so stupid that often we are kilted because we haven’t the , sense to get out Of the way or protect ourselves." "We haven’t been killed often, have wet" asked Mrs. Gunnaco. "I should say We haven’t,’* replied Mr. Gnanaco. "If We hud we wouldn’t be here now. "To tie kitted once Is enough, quite enough, and too rtiuch for any crea ture.” “Oh," said Mrs. Guanaco. "N’oW 1 understand,” she added, aft er a moment.

"We don’t have to think up bright things to say," said Mrs. Guanneo. "Of course 1 couldn't If 1 tried, but It Is u relief not to have to try." “A great relief,” said Mr. Guanneo. "A great relief. And it Is so nice you do not expect too much of me." "The same thought Is often with me," suld Mrs. Guanaco. “We’re satisfied," said Mr. Guanaco. "Quite," said Mrs. Guanaco.
