I confessed that I enjoyed that Christmas dinner very much. I took in all the good things that were said, and there were a number of them, especial ly .Miss I'blpps, who wan remarkably bright The only reason why I should have liked to be one of the circle wag that I envied her dinner companion. I was about to take my departure, regretting tbnt I could not assume my own personality, Join the party, tell them what fun I had had In listening to their chat and observing their man ners, when Ituger handed me some glne containing ponsse cafe and told uie to take them Into the com j j 1 1 1 1 ;.-.

So 1 took up the tray mid proceeded to the drawing room. I noticed as I entered that most of the guests were looking at nie. Mr. Pepper, a genial man with a bald head and mutton chop whiskers, beckoned me to et the tray on a table near which he was sitting and when I had d mo so said to me: "I unilers and from Koger that you have wailed on us to learn tfie" busi ness. 1 whh to say to yon that you are the best waiter I have eve-' seen. 1 would like t i eiigiigeyou permanently." There wm a singular look in his face when he said this, while the guests reused chnttering and listened. "Thank you, sir," I replied. "You are ery good, sir. Out I don't think. I n) quite up to the work yet." ""H'hnt's your name?" "Oharles, sir." "Do you know how to dance, rharlos?" "Dance? No, sir." "Well, 1 exppct you'll have to try. There are Just fifteen of us, and we're going to dance the lancers. We're just one man short." Kve 'y one arose, a couple of musi cians were cnlled In, and the men chose their partners. Miss Phlpps was the odd lady who was left out. Had- soiiirtliing occurred to reveal my secret, or had these persons, being short of a nifin to make up a set and noticing my respectable nppeurance, called me in to help them out?

Before the evening was finished I voted It the Christmas of my life. I made Intimate frienda of the host and hostess and retained the acquaintance of nearly all their guests. When the next Christmas came round I had left my ipiarters at the club and gone Info a house of my own.

The Indiana exierluieiit station has found thnt the best whiter ration for fattening cattle consists of two and one-half pounds of cottonseed meal per 1,(H10 pounds of live weight and all the corn sllnge the aniinnl will ent. with a small amount of dry roughage like clover or alfalfa hay or corn stover or oat atrnw ndded Steers fed on this ration made the best gains with the hldist finish und greatest economy of any combination. Linseed Meal For Cattio. Coarsely ground linseed meal of good quality has a foetlinu value slightly su perior to old process cottonseed meal, and either of these feeds Is better fol supplementing corn for fattening cattle than iv hen t bran at current market val ues. This was proved In two experi ments at the Nebraska station. is. ' si.; 1 1 r.l .(SM.- Photograph by Iowa Btaie College of Ag riculture. BANDV TVPaOP INDIVIDUAL HOQ BOD8B. belter gains. The youngsters need an abundance of nutritious green feed. This keeps them healthy, gives them an appetite and causes them to take exercise. Clover and alfalfa are the most satisfactory, of course, but any thing that is green and succulent will do, Skiuiinllk Is very nearly au ideal feed for growing pip:. There Is noth ing that is liked belter, and It seems to make a growth of frame and mus cle lis no other feeds will do. Any hog man who cau have un abundant supply of ski nun I Ik Is fortunate in deed. A thick slop made of mill shorts and a little oiliiieal does very nearly as well. Corn or corn and cooked bar ley are very acceptable for the basal part of the ration, it being always essential to furnish plenty of protein to balance the lack of it In corn and barley. Tnnkage and meat meal in the proportion of a Ik nit one part to ten of corn or corn and barley will make up the deficiency nicely and will bring more rapid growth and more finish to the pigs. Very satisfactory feed may lie secured from the i ropi of any locality. It being necessary to balance It up with some protein 'oti centrnte only. Ot course the pigs will sell belter if they are clean. They will thrive Just as well If they have a cool, clean place as If they have H mud wallow, and It makes a vitsf amount of difference In i selling to have them clean and sleek.- j National Stockman and Farmer. I Asparagus Seeds. An excellent plan to follow with asparagus is to visit the fields In the fall of ihe second year, when seed j Should lie selected from plants of a j few large stalks rather than many small ones. The seeds are ripe when the berries are well colored. After' picking, the berries should be placed in any convenient tub. barrel or crock j and allowed to soak until the pulp : separates readily from the seed. This 1 separation may be secured by wash- j I ing wllh the hands. The seeds should j ' be washed' several times and then cured and stored. - Professor U.

There is a great tendency on the part of many, to neglect the colts on the farm (hiring the winter. It too often hiiniH'iis that there Is an ap parent shortage of feed, and the result J k Is that colts are slighted. Oue way of I .. ruining a young colt is to have his I growth stunted durllig the first year or two. Most of the i-olts on the farm get a gisnl start the tlrst six months of their lives from the fact that they are allowed to suckle the dim during that time, l.atiy fall provides them with good past u iv. and ssslily they have been receiving some oats or shared a part of the teed of the mare Such treatment pui them ill good shape for the whiter I'm liberal feeding must le kept up if a strong, well developed and matured horse is etsvted The Watch the Classified Colums of the Monitor for ni' Weekly An nouncements of Property for Sale or trade The largest list and the lowest prices in Poik Tonntv IT TP Independence, o A 7 Oregon
