ELLIOTT, Pr$iNCtwAL. `oage and Alexander Stat, Tail Was Kept Dry. The Orangeville Post vouches for the truth of the following :-"A lady went to a Iocal livery the other day to hire a horse and buggy, intending to tyke a drive in the country. She was particular to erxtphasize the fact that a quiet animal was required, which would not run away, and was not afraid of automobiles. Tho obliging proprietor hitched up a horse which be assured his customer was particu. larly docile, but warned the lady "not to let the rein to get on his tail." On the return trip a, sudden shower Game on and mindful of the parting injunction, the fair driver got out of the rig and held her umbrella over the hora3 until the downpour was over, thereby averting the contingency against Which she had been so care. fully admonished," Food Products Decreasing. According to the present rate of in- crease of the population of the United States, says the New York Sun, per- sona now entering on middle age may expect to live to see that country with a population of 200,000,000. A. good many thoughtful and farsighted per- sons are 'studying the big preblet of how the farms are going to raise enough crops to feed double the num- ber of people at present living in that country. They have seen that with all the talk of bumper crops, of nloun- tains of meat and grain and food products raised every yearthere is little t le if anysurplus B ansa left over and that prices are advancing continually, The increase in the the production of sta ile foodstuffs to lagging behi nd the zficteelee in population, despite the wonderful advancement in labor-sav- ing machinery on the farm. In some of the chief produote there le even ,a serious aotual atlhrl'inkaage. The first great thing to learn In feeding cattle is economy of pt'otlaic• tion. Many farmers in assaying their calculations as to whether some of their farming pays take no account of labor, writes an Iowa feeder In Orange Judd Farmer. As al; labor on my form is hired and as i never do ally manual labor myself, it behooves axe in all my farming operations to first of all get my labor down to a straight business proposition. Years ago 1 used to feed my cattle corn twice a day until one day I ran across Professor Henry's book and there saw the statement that many cattlemen fed only once a day. I have in my yards at present 300 head of calves. All are well bred Herefords, bought from one ranch In Nebraska, They were weaned the day prior to shipping and were received Oct. 23. 'These calves on Jan. 11 were being fed 2,000 pounds of corn and cob meal, 500 pounds of oats, 1,S00 pounds of clorer or alfalfa hay and 600 pounds of oat straw. The corn and cob meal will be slowly increased so that as the calves increase in size they will get all the grain they can Crossing cows of a. coarse descrip- tion with well selected Shorthorn bulls removes the coarseness and in this way improves the quality of the meat produced by cattle which are descended on the female side from coarse and inferior live stock. The pure bred Shorthorn is of great prepotency and never faits to raise the beef standard of the herd into which it is introduced. The illus- tration shows a fine Shorthorn bull of pure breeding. clean up at one meal. There will be no increase in the amount of alfalfa fed. The 300 Hereford calves on March 2S weighed 700 pounds each. This enormous gain was made possible by the splendid weather. They now each get twelve pounds of shelled corn and six pounds of alfalfa a day. These calves are fed once a day. The amount of hay and straw to be fed is weighted and put in the racks; then the grain is weighed and put in the boxes. This is always done by 10:30 a. m. One man with team feeds the train and bay and feeds and attends to hogs by noon. In the afternoon he grinds corn or hauls bedding when necessary. The sheds are bedded down twice a week. He then loads his hay wagon and his grain wagon ready for next day. In the winter months there are two men, and this work is often divided so as to allow for other work in the afternoon, but from the middle of ltitreli until the cattle are solti in the :milliner one man does it all arul has all the sows and other litters to look after as well. Of course he has earlier and longer daylight in these months. This plan also allows tile men to have their t,unciays free, as by combining forces Sunday morning all work is done by la a. M. 1 do not wish you to infer free' this that he or any other man ‘vurks nil kinds of hours. It is a fixed tale on the farm that all work stops at 5:45 p. m.; supper at 0. This rule is never broken even for haying or har- vest unless 1 pay the men overtime. Many young feeders make the great 'mistake of trying to push their cattle too rapidly. Never forget that the best and biggest gains are made the first month on the smallest atnount or grain. It is not big gains that pay. It is economical gains. Every feeder when he gets his cattle ought to have his ration figured out -that is, his cheapest ration. No two, years are alike in this. It clover ot alfalfa is worttl $7 per ton and corn lip cents per bushel the ration might be for a 1,000 pound steer, nineteen pounds ear corn and twenty pounds hay, whereas. If the clorer or alfalfa is $10 to $12 a ton and corn less than 40 cents a bushel, it might better be a ration of ten pounds clover and twenty•tive pounds ear corn. If you have straw �r fodder work it into your ration according to quantity or price. Soiling Crops For Cows. Soiling crops should be used more extensively by dairymen, In sections of the country where land is very high and the farmer forced to employ every possible means of making It produce as much food as possible soiling is common. This Is noticeable in por- tions of Europe where the cows are kept up most of the time and where every acre must produce a large amount of feed. lasts while we have pastures and silos we will not be forc- ed to follow soiling. Yet there are many dairymen who could Use a few acres of soiling Crops very profitably. By using barnyard manure Very liber- ally a few acres in soiling crops would be of great value. Milk and Butter Fat. Vie percentage of fat in the cow's milk Is determined by two things --first, the breed and. second, the individual- ity. The milk flow nuty be 1'stimulated by feed, but the fat content cannot bo affected under normal conditions. Corn And bats.

Discretion is not common sense, but common sense is a, requisite for dis- cretion, The heart may be filled with good intent only, but if the head fails in common sense, discretion will not appear in the acts. Discretion is com- mon sense crystallized, 'We hear it said that someone did not show com- mon sense, and discretion is that by which we snow common sense, Lack of discretion often causes schisms, even in church work, At one place thew were to have a church pienic, and the ladies who had charge of preparing the lunch could not agree as to whether the sandwiches should be ham or tongue. Before they got through with the jangle they had drawn the men into the muss, and finally' the pastor took a hand and sides at the same tune. The result was, al division in the church, and half the members creme elf. The ladies should have shown inor'e common sense than to have gotten into such a muss -the ruen a.houlrl halve ehown more crystallized o ll ni sense, that t ir, more discretion, than to have been drawn into it, and the last and great. estoo f 1 of at ll wall the wpastor who took sides.
