We literates have been tanght to rend poetry, and taught also that It Is highly coinmeudahle to enjoy It. In order to know what kind of poetry ought to lie especially enjoyed. We read other books, w ritten by critics. In or der to understand what (he poetry that ought to he admired means, we read other b'Mks by professional grammarlaiia. Ity the time1 we have finished thla preiuiratory reading, we are somewhat confused. We are In doubt as to what poetry actually Is, and how It differs from prose. In thla predicament we fall hack on the print er. If every line begins with a cap ital letter, we assume that It is po etry. Samuel Mi-Chord Cruthera In the Atlantic Monthly.

While this Is regarded as the best practice under ordinary circumstances, there are advantages, especially at thla time In feeding younger cattle, the nrfnclpal ones being the obtaining of a higher market price for the finished steer, If of good breeding, and an op portunity to hold for a longer period of time when fattened with leaa lo&a than the more mature steer." GIVE HOGS' FEET ATTENTION Bad Underpinning Are Often Due to Lack of Trimming aa Wall aa to Overfeeding, When the new breeder la getting ready to exhibit his hogs at the connty and atate fairs he should pay atten tion to the feet of the animals as well as to fitting them. If the animals are overfed, very often they have a tend ency to go down In the feet. Bad feet are also often due to lack of attention as well as to overfeeding and poor breeding. Animals thnt are not given an opportunity to take a proper amount of exercise on hard ground are apt to show this trouble more than those under ordinary conditions. In trimming the toes the pig Is thrown on Its side and with a sharp jnokknlfe the ends of the toes can he pared off. Occasionally the sole of the foot may nred paring also, so that the pig will walk fiat on the foot. Care should be. taken to smooth up the Job and to not cut the foot too deeply, so as to bleed and cause lameness. The trimming should be done at least ten days or two weeks before the show.

The Non-Puncturable TIRE IN-SOLE Will Stop Your TIRE TROUBLE BEEF PRODUCTION FALLS OFF Nearly Half of Farmers Last Year Operated at Los Similar Con dition This Year. Beef In the United States was last year produced at an average cost of 14 to 15 cents, according to figures furnished by H. C. Taylor, chief of farm management of the United States department of agriculture. However, only 58 per cent of the cattle concerned were produced for that and 42 per cent cost more. Fifty six per cent of the producers kept these costs at 15 cents or less, so that nearly half of the fanners producing beef operated at a loss. 1920 figures Indicate that a similar condition rules and that production Is falling off con siderably as a result, since no one likes to produce at a loss. Feeding prices and land vulues are given as the reason for the falling off of the profit. As a remedy for It Mr. Taylor suggests keeping of better rec ords of all farm accounts, elimination of excessive marketing charges and good management SCREENINGS NOT POISONOUS As Feed Substitute for Bran They Can Be Fed to Sheep With Much Advantage. According to a recent report of the U. S. department of agriculture, sweet clover seed screenings are not poison ous to live stock. They can be fed to shepp to advantage, being a good grain feed, but they probably are not so good as bran. However, as bran Is a marketable product and sweet clover screenings are not. being an otherwise wnste product of the farm, as a feed substitute for bran It constitutes a net saving of the cost of bran and Is there fore of considerable value to the pro ducer who can use It.
