Feed For Dairy Cow.
I cannot afford to pasture very
much of good, tillable land, but It
pays to supplement with soiling crops.
First In tho spring c:mes rye, or rye
and wheat sown together. Wheat
fed green is excellent for milk; one
half to one acre Is enough for fifty
cows. Turn them In and let them eat
It. It doesn't pay to mow it. Xext
comes oats, peas and alfalfa. Some
millut can bo grown for later use, and
pumpkins are excellent; plant one
half acre for ten cows, and feed each
cow fifty pounds per day. Grow
pumpkins alon?, and plant in hills
six feet apart.
Thf .e Is nothing a cow likes so well
ns mangels, or sugar beets. For
every ten pounds of mangels, take
off one pound of grain. It Is only a
question of how cheap you can grow
thiui, for nothing is better. Then
we want tho ensilage in winter and as
a reserve force In summer. For the
largest mllft production, we must feed
some grain. Grow ail possible on
tho farm, then learn bow to feed
tbem, or provide the right ration for
the largest milk production.
Alfalfa solves the question of an
economical ration, and saves grain
bills, and there is little surface soil
In this part of the State (New York)
tha. will not grow alfalfa. Drain
your soil, if it needs It, supply plant
food needed, and you can grow al
falfa. Inoculate your soil with bac
teria, or soil from some fields of al
falfa. After doing all that Is possible
with other f.'-ds, alfalfa will cause a
yield of two pounds more milk per
cow per day. II. VI. Cook, In The

that they are light feeders. Don't
bo afraid to feed your fowls plenty,
as long as you give them good, Clean,
wholesome food. Feed regularly, ns
regular feeding tells as well as the
amount. Never buy a lot of cheap,
musty grain, no matter how low the
price. It is dear as a gift. The
writer has used the hopper method of
feeding young stock for tho past two
years, and finds It all right. In fact,
I never had chicks grow so fast as
when I use the hopper method. When
the feed is kept before tin m all the
timo they never gorge themselves,
and if there are any weal; chicks In
the flock they can go to the hopper,
get their feed whenever they wish,
and are not crowded and trampled on
by the older thleh.:. as they often are
when fed only a few times ;'aily. I
believe In plenty of feed. It lakes
feed to grow a big frame. It take.:
feed to grow a big bono and a good
plumage. There may bo a flock now
and then that is overfed, but there
are far more flocks that are underfed.
Give plenty of exercise and you will
have no trouble about overfeeding.
The variety of food Is also of great
Importance. Do not try to get your
pullets to lay too soon unless you
want to decrease their size. The
young pullets should bo fed foods that
will develop frame and egg-producing
organs as well. Soaked oats and
wheat I find are splendid for young
growing stock. Do not feed too much
corn or other fattening foods, as they
are too heating.
Keep an account of your poultry
work. Know how much you spend
and how much you bring In; then
you will know where you stand.
Never go nt the poultry business in
a haphazard way. Go at it In n sound
business way. The poultry industry
is a business and must bo treated as
sucii. The sooner you learn this tho
wiser you will be. Correspondent of

tng of the Law, 8-10. Every Christian
would do well to lot the opening
words of this passage sink deep into
his heart, "owe no man anything."
It Is a plain command, and as whole
some as it Is plain. Debt is disobe
dience to God. Debt is also slavery
(Prov. 22:7). But "owe no man
anything" means more than "pay
your debts." It means "never
go into debt."- It means more yet, it
means render to every man what Is
due to him, whether it be tribute, cus
tom, fear, honor, obedience (v. 7).
The Whole law of God can be put into
one word, and God has put It Into one
word In this passage, "love." Love

law. He that really loves his neigh-

to one who really loves, "thou shalt

It Is not necessary to say, "thou shalt

second advantage is found In the fact
that early lambs can bo pushed on

it Is true that considerable grain Is
required to accomplish this, it is also
true that owing to the higher price
that is usually received for them,
such lambs are more profitable than
the later ones. When lambs are sold, I

A third advantage is the greater

The Feeding of Hogs.
Tho feeding of hogs on many farms
as a rule Is about us follows: The
farmer goes out every morning and
evening and llirowB out a few scoop
fuls of corn to his hogs and they are
then fed. I know of one hog raiser,
however, who la very successful, that
gives them a good feed of threshed
oats at noon.
I know of several more farmers
who purrhaso a few sacks of ship
stuff and use It in mixing up slop for
their brood sows at farrowing time,
and It is good, of course, but all farm
er do not do this.
I always try to have each of my
hogs get some slop (good slop) com
posed of equal parts of bran, corn
meul and a little oil meal. This I
hara found to give good results. Of
course, It take soma timo to prepare
lb!) every day, but I find that It pays
in the feeding. I usually save all my
pig at farrowing time, while t'loso
that are fed on corn alone do not do
ao well. I well remember visiting I
farmer last spring just to lee bis

corn must be supplied to fattening

the brood sows should not have so

Why He Was Lost
As Lawyer Bryant was sitting near
his open window one morning he ob
served a poverty-stricken young man,
whose face was thin and drawn, beg.
ging from the people in the street,
who passed him by, unheeding his so
licitations for help. Happening to
glance upward he saw the lawyer at
the window, and Instantly the young
man raised his bat, saying: "Please
help me; I'm hungry and In sore
need." Being rather charitably in
clined, Mr. Brown said, "Wait a min-
ute, and, putting on his hat. he hur
ried down to the street where the
man stood waiting, hat in hand,
"Give me a penny, please, and I'll re

starving."
Mr. Brown looked at the speaker
In astonishment as he said: "Let me
hear you." The twenty-seventh chap

for word. "Come with me," Bald the
lawyer, as the young man repeated
the last verse. Taking him into a
restaurant near by he ordered a gen
erous meal for the young man, and
while he watched him devour It eag

story, which was as follows:

The Golden Rule.
The very thing I do not want is tl
have my life measured out to me b
the Golden Rule, for the simple re
son that what others want done untt
them are the very things very likelj
1 do not want done unto me.
My own Individuality calls for i
special measure. A yard rule may b
used for measuring the fustian of th
peasant and the fine linens of th
prince, but what Is desirable for om
Individual cannot be measured bj
what seems desirable to another.
There is no common way In wbicl
our lives run in exact parallels. Dl
vergent paths of opportunity an(
duty are many, and we may not meat
ure others' lives by our own.
One woman, for instance, Is onlj
happy in continual companionship
She is lonely and really mlserabli
unless some one is near, respoasivi
to almost hourly demands.
Another lives within hprself, reach
ing out only at seasons for comapai
ionshlp.
Each of these In striving to live oul
the Golden Rule may make the otbei
unhappy. The distance between wlA
ens rather than narrows by use ol
this rule; Irritation, impatience and
probable loss of friendship are the r
suit. Each feels aggrieved, the om
feeling that her Golden Rule servlcei
are unappreciated, the one receivini
a bitter sense of being misunderstood
and cherishing a very strong wish tt
be let alone and allowed to live oul
her own life in her own way.
The Golden Rule is a good one, bnl
it needs a diamond point that point
being "Put yourself in his place"
before measuring out to some out
else even the best things that tbl
most loving heart has to give to an
other. Self-sacrifice otherwise maj
be the most intense and lnordlnaM
selfishness.
Only when we can say, "Not as I
would have others do unto me, bill
as others would have me do untt
them," have we reached the heart ol
the Golden Rule. Alice Hamilton
Peck, in The Interior.

found that lambs suffering from para

after the first of June. It also holds
good that tt Is better to have the
lambs come early when they are to
be used for breeding purposes. Es
pecially is this tho case when they
r.re to be sold In tho fall, as their
size then captures the eye ot those
who want to buy, but It is equally
true If thfy are to be retained for the
farm. By winter early lambs have
developed sufficiently to endure the
cold season without danger of being
hindered In growth by tho severe
weather. Of course, conditions are
not such that lambs cun coma early
on every farm. In such instances
they must be allowed to come when
the conditions are most suitable, but
when the farmer has a choice between
early lambs and late ones, as a gen
eral thing the preference should be
tlveu the early dropped lambs.

Is there and whenever there Is an oc

How careful then ought we to be

and to deny ourselves those Impres
