FEED FOR WORK HORSES.
In Results Produced Corn Is Declared
to Stand Ahead of Oats.
There is a widespread belief anions
horse owners that no grain U equal to
oats as nn efficient feed for horses
and that no matter how high the prkj
of oats no other grain enn be used tin
substitute for them.
In order to test tho accuracy of
this belief I). E. Carmichael of the
Ohio experiment station began In the
spring of 1907 an cxtensivo series of
experiments to test the rolatlvo value
and efficiency of oats and corn as a
grain ration for work horses.
With this In view throo teams of
grade Percheron geldings were tak
en; these horses were used for gen
eral farm and team work on the sta
tion farm. The horses In each tt-am
woro about tho sarco age; ono w.ii
fed on oats and the other on corn.
The plan was to feed as much ear
corn by weight as oats.
All tho horses rocelvcd as much
mixed clover and timothy hay as they
would eat. Tho experiment reported
was continued forty-eight weeks. The
variations in weight of tho corned
horses were practically tho same as
those of tho horses receiving onts:
nor was there noticed any dl'ffereuop
tn spirit or endurance between the
mates of each team.
In regard to the comparative cost
ef tho feeds it is stated in a bulletin
ef tho Department of Agriculture that
"under the market conditions that pre
vailed during the experiment the sav
ing from the use of corn was vory
Marked approximately 10 cents a
4ay for each horse for the entire forty-eight
weeks. Market conditions
should always be borne In mind, as
there may be times during which oats
vould be cheaper than corn, and they
should of course be used whenever
rheaper."
A Clever Device.
I havo been raising cattle for 20
years (in a small way) and this is
the best way I find to tlo my caitle
in tho barn. It keeps them out of the
manger and they cannot twl3t them
selves up in the tie or get their legs
over it. Make a manger and set of
stanchions, the latter set as close as
you wish your stock to stand; then
take a piece of hard wood about 14 or
16 Inches long, 1 1-2 Inches thick and
2 1-2 inches wide, round off the cor
ners and make it slightly curved, as
shown in cut. Now boro a 5-8 inch
hole In each end, take a piece of rope
and put through hole In one end of
stick and pass around tho stanchions
and tie leaving enough space between
yoke and stanchion for the cow's neck;
then take another piece of rope and
put through holo In other end of stick
(or yoke) make a short loop in one
end of rope and it is ready for bust
ess. Tho bottom end of yoko is to
be the end fastened to stanchion. In
tielng in the stock get head between
yoke and stanchion, pass ropo over
eck around stanchion and tie through
loop with weavers knot. U. G. Young,

Live Stock Notes.
If your owes are poor at breeding

youngsters to market.
Oil meal will often prevent indiges

Keep the ram by himself lu the day
time and turn him with a fow ewes
at night
Dirty water troughs breed filth and
disease very quickly. Keep them
alean by a pinch of copporas now and

Wo won't bo so free In feeding old
com to tho young pigs now, in view
of the high price of that old stand-by
All the better for tho pigs.
Not too early to begin gottlng the
animals ready for the fair. Study tho
breed question.
Highly Finished Animals Best.
Tho best money Is in the highly
finished animal. Animals intended
for market that have been running on
pasture should bo fed grain a fow
weeks provious to marketing, even if
the grain must be purchased. Thtt
difference in weight and tho prlco re

Bachelor Queen
"Old maids are a nuisance and old
bachelors are an abomination," ex
claimed sprightly Marie Courtlelgh.
The girls at the summer institute of
Forest Lake wore busy at work at
tholr benches preparing lettuco slips
for transplanting. Thoy were enjoy
ing camp life with its attendant dis
cipline and studying school gardening
at the same tlmo. At tho bugle call
of "revollle" thoy arose each morning
and worked, studied and recreated at
stated periods. Every night when
tho sad echoes of "taps" reverberated
from the surrounding hilltops, all
lights were out, tho camp was still,
and Morpheus reigned supremo.
"Oh, tho odium attached to spinster-
hood," laughingly Interposed Miss
Gordon, one of the summer school In
structors and matrons of tho dormi
tory, suddenly appearing In tho door
way. "What horrible creatures old
maids are. Why doos not Osier ad
mlnstor some of his soothing chloro
form to theso useless creatures and
Consign them to sweet oblivion? Girls,
I beg of you, escnpe If posslblo this
Bad state of single blessedness; but
If Fato should unkindly relegate you
to sip your cup of tea in a lonely cor
ner when you ere old and gray, reject
the odious title of 'old maid' and adopt
tho modern term of 'bachelor girl.' "
The girls stood aghast at UiIb unex
pected speech from their beloved
teacher. She was a woman In middle
life, intellectual, refined and sympa
thetic, the Idol of her girls because
of her scholarly attainments and her
sterling qualities. In youth she had
been fair as a goddess. Her Grecian
head, crowned with a glory of silver
gray hair waved over a smooth, broad
forehead; grayish blue eyes, patrician
nose and firm mouth bespoke honora
ble ancestry and gentle breeding.
The years had dealt kindly with her;
nature had not robbed her of many of
her youthful charms, far she proved a
kind mother to her ardent devotees.
Marie felt that she must redeem
herself in her favorite's estimation.
and apologetically added, "Miss Gor
don, when girls get together, 'the eter
nal he' Is generally the subject of con
sideration. I wonder if 'the eternal
she' Is tho topic when the lords of
creation assemble."
"Undoubtedly it is," said Miss Gor
don, "although I cay so tentatively, as
I havo not had the opportunities af
forded me to settle that question be
yond the shadow of a doubt. But.
jesting aside, girls, I have come to
ask you to honor me with your pres
ence at a farewell chafing dish and
marsh mallow party to-morrow even
ing at the 'Bungalow.' The board of
administration has allowed us tho use
of the building until the first call of
'taps.' Will you come, my friends?"
"Of course we will," chimed all the
girls, surrounding their "summer
mother," dancing and singing a song
composed in her honor by one of
their number.
The next evening the "Bungalow"
presented a scene from fairyland. A
log fire was burning In the open fire
place, lighted Japaneso lanterns
swung galy to and fro, and the girls in
their airy muslin gowns gave the final
touch of fresh, vivacious, bubbling,
mirthful life. Miss Gordon presided
at tho chafing dish, assisted by her
dancing butterflies. Marshmallows
galore wero toasted on hatpins before
the open fire. Finally, the repast of
fudge, sandwiches and fancy cakes
was spread upon tho floor, and all
sat in a circle around the fireplace.
"A story, a story from Miss Gor
don," shouted athletic Alice Burk
hardt when Interest in eating began
to wane. Miss Gordon bowod gracl
ously, saying, "I will tell you a true
story of 'A Girl That I Have Known.'
"Some years ago In New York 1
knew a young woman of 19 who was
preparing to be a teacher. She wa
of an intense nature, strong in her
likes and dislikes. Tho mediocre nev
er satisfied her; she was seeking tho
Ideal In life. Her friends said she
would never marry because tho para
gon she sought did not exist in hu
man form. Yet they were wrong In
their conclusion.
"When her training was over she
elected to work In the East Side. In
that congested district whero the
stunted flowers In the Lord's garden
do not enjoy their rightful heritage of
fresh air, sunshine nnd cleanliness
'Here she mot a young physician, an
other enthusiast, aiming to be a lead
er in his profession. His specialty
was the study of tho 'Great White
Plague,' its cause, treatment and era
dication. These two Idealists bcame
engaged, but tholr hopes of marriage
were never realized, as he died a vie
tlm of typhoid. She still labors in
her chosen sphere, teaching the bvw
ties of God's creation to the chlldreu
of the Ghetto. Her labor may not
bear fruit In tills generation, but It
cannot fail to reap results In the
next"
Just then Miss Gordon arose to
sound the first call of "taps." The
girls remained motionless, owed by
the subdued voice of tho narrator and
the dull flashes of light reflected on
the rafters from the dying embers.
"It is the story of her own llfo."
whispered Alice to the wondering
group,
"A toast, a toast to Miss Gordon,"
cried tho irrepressiblo Marie Court
lelgh. "All stand und lift your glasses
high in her honor," As each girl was
about to drain the cup of sparkling
beverage, Marie proclaimed, "To Miss
Gordon, Queen of Bachelor Girls," and
with a wonderfully sweet but sad
smile Miss Gordon silently accepted
the homage. ELIZABETH E. HAG-GBHTY.
CONOKIttflNQ ADDITION.

Ixtomls Tells Alt About It
"Every little bit added to what
you've got makes just a little bit
moro."
I wish I could print the music to
that popular refrain as its felicitous
rag-time adds to tho catchincss of
the dictum.
"Every little bit addod to what
you've got makes Just a little bit
more."
It's an amusing pond and tho sug
gested advice is good. Strange how
many people there are who do not
act on it.
Let my eermonettc this month be
tho record of tho cxporloncos of two
men, one of whom lived up to tho
advice, while the other did not hcod
It.
There were two brothers born
within a year or two of each other,
and of the same parents that's why
they were brothers but they woro
as different as Itoosovclt and Harri
man. Ono of them was always bont on
accumulating experiences of ono kind
or another; ho was fond of music,
fond of books, fona of pictures. Ho
possessed a good deal of curiosity re
garding tho habits of mon, and
neglected his business so thoy say

But, alter all, that was his own bus
iness. He was fond of going to the
theatre, and while he always picked
out good plays, still, in tho opinion
of his brother, ho might havo been
employed staying lato at hi3 office,
heaping up dollars.
The brother was heaping them up
all , right. Why, that man was the
first one to reach his office and the
last one to leave it. Tho office-boy
always got tired of waiting for him
and went home beforo him. You
may be sure that his business pros
pered and at thirty he was
worth a hundred times as much as
his unbusinesslike brother. lie may
have had an ear for music when he
was a Doy, but at thirty he had lost
it, and regarded timo spent at con
certs as money thrown away.
Time and money were converti
ble terras with him, and he sought
by every means In his power to build
up a huge fortune
Reading was not for him. Books
were apt to be Idle thoughts, only fit
for idle fellows, and he had no time
to waste on nonsense. Pictures might
make good Investments if a man hap
pened to buy the right kind, but he
didn't pretend to know a good one
from a bad one, so he never bought
any. The companionship of his fel
lows was not congenial to him and he
belonged to no clubs. A club, In
his opinion, was a place whoro a man
wasted time that might have been
employed in making money and
whero ldlo fellows swapped Idler
stories. No, the office for him and
his whole mind to tho making of
money.
His brother went to' Europe, to
bouth America, to Asia, to Africa;

how he did it was a mystery, for ha
made very Httlo money. Ho seemed
to know how to get a good deal of
s.rvlce for a small expenditure ot
silver and he acted as if llfo were an
enjoyable thing.
Nolther brother married and aftei
a while old ago came upon each ot
them.
Then the moneyed man rotlred
from business, broken in health and
with nothing to do but regret that ho
had not made more money while he
was at it
But the lasy brother who had
worked his mind and his sensibilities
for all thoy wero worth his whole
life long, was able to sit by himsolf,

Don't regard tho money spent on
a good play or a good concert as
money thrown away. Don't regard
tho hour spent on a captivating rom

cleverly written essay as time mis
spent. Don't regard tho time spent
in outdoor sports as wasted.
I'm not advocating the idleness or
