I have always found It u splendid
practice In the management of my
growing lamb crop to supply the
lambs with a light grain ration as
soon aa they are old enough to feel
the need of more nourishment than
they are receiving from the ewes,
writes I.eo C. Reynolds In the Mich

way to build thia pen to have four

no that the lambs cannot get Into tbo
trough and get their feed dirty.
The grain ration for growing lambs
should be appetising, nutritious snd
laxative. It should not be fattening,
but should have essentials to encour­
age the lambs to grow bone and keep
in good flesh My experience hits been
that wheat bran, two parts; finely
ground oats, one pert; with a small
allowance of oil meal, make an excel­
lent grain ration to grow the lambs
on. I.ater, I add one part more of
cracked corn (old corn) to th« ration.
This ration may be kept before the
lambs without sny danger of over-
f««dlng
Protein Feeds Favored
for All Live Stock
The true feeding value of many of
our common animal feeds Is depend­
ent on the fart that they are rich tn
mineral matter or ash. Thia la brought
very forcibly to the attention of most
Individuals when they give the sub­
ject any real thought or attention.
Practical results, and experiments
without end. have proven conclusively
that for moat of our live stock those
feeds thst are rich In protein are
usually very excellent feeds. It has
also been demonstrated that feeds
that w-ere rich In carbohydrates snd
fats, and low In proteins, were a very
poor food, especially for growing or
for breeding animals. Animals fed on
such feeds frequently develop breed­
ing diseases. Such feeds aa cotton-
s<*ed meal, linseed oilmen!, alfalfa
hay nnd clover hay are usually rich tn
mineral matter or ash. The high pro­
tein feeds nnd leguminous hays are
especially rich In lime, nnd are also
plentifully supplied with potassium.
The cereal grain feeds and seeds are
particularly rich In phosphoric add,
or phosphorus, nnd for this reason It
Is the general practice In most feed­
ing to combine these two classes of
fe<-ds In an effort to got a balance
of the mineral dements In the ration.
Give the Colt a Chance
A few pounds of grain each day
added to the allowance of good, clean
hay, increuses the colt's chances of
making good. Dry shelter and a
dean bed, with access to salt and
fresh water, are also quite necessary.
Give him a chance to grow n set of
sound legs nnd feet by trimming the
feet nt least twice u year. Nature
trims the feet where they are weak­
est first, without regard to shape, so
nature's remedy should not be relied
upon.
Live Stock Hints
Colts should be taught to eat grain
ns soon ns this can be done. A mix­
ture of ground oats and bran Is fine—
corn does not serve so well, because
It lacks the protein element that
makes muscle and hone.

son suffered himself to tw dragged off
to bls friend's bouse. He bought an
outfit and determined to return via
Oxford when he concluded tils round
of visits. And In the enthusiasm of
the night's meeting he almost forgot
hla troubles.
The following morning he saw this
advertisement In the Coventry papers:
"If the gentleman who took away a
lady's shoe from the Queen's hotel.
Oxford, will return It to Its owner, no
questions will be asked. Address M
M., I^lcester. Reward If required."
Leicester was Nicholson's last stop­
ping place, lie resolved to explain by
better and arrange to meet Mias Mar­
tin there. Meanwhile his friend told
him that It would be possible to have
the bag forwarded to the station
there. Accordingly Nicholson wrote
an apologetic letter to the posts res-
tante, and then continued hla journey.
Four days later he descended at
Leicester station. At the post office
he found a communication from Miss
Martin.
"Miss Martin will be glad to see
Mr. Nicholson at the Temperance ho­
tel, provided he brings her shoe with
him.”
Nicholson found the missing suit­
case. slung it Into a cab and hurried
to the hotel. Miss Martin came Into
the parlor.
Nicholson was hardly articulate
when he saw her. They bad never
stood face to face before. Now Miss
Martin's face was covered with
blushes, which followed each other
across it with remarkable rapidity.
“I am really very sorry," explained
Nicholson. "It was that fool Boots'
fsult. He thought—"
He cursed himself for a donkey un­
der his breath, for be could see that
Miss Martin understood quite well
what Boots bad thought But she
only said idly:
"Will you kindly give me my shoe?”
Nicholson opened the suitcase and
took out the shoe, wrapped neatly in
paper.
”1 am very sorry to have caused
you so much trouble,” he said. "You
understand it was not my fault don't
you?*’
Til tell you in a minute," Miss Mar­
tin answered. "Kindly wait It's no
use attempting to pass me, because
you will be stopped by the doorkeeper.
He knows.”
“What do you mean?” Nicholson de­
manded.
For answer Miss Martin carefully
extracted the shoe from the parcel
and, to Nicholson's surprise, begun to
unscrew the heel. The heel came off.
and out of the hollow interior there
fell one, two, three, four, five hun­
dred dollar bills.
“Oh, thank heaven 1” she cried. "I
was down to my last dollar. Oh-h-h I”
And suddenly Miss Martin went Into
something that very closely resem­
bled hysterics. And before Nicholson
knew what he was doing he found
himself bending over her and implor­
ing her to be calm.
"Can you ever forgive me?” she
pleaded.
"Why wouldn't you speak to me on
the boat?" he asked.
"Because I was so afraid,” she an­
swered. "I knew Europe was full of
confidence men, and you—you looked
ut my shoes so hard. I put the shoes
outside to bluff you, because I thought
—I thought you would never dream
that I would put the shoe with the
money in It outside the door. And,
and—I thought you had followed me."
"I didn't,” answered Nicholson bold­
ly, "but, as a fellow-countryman. I'm
going to now, to see that you don't
get into any mor« troubl« and—for
other reasons.”
And something tn th« girl’s look en­
couraged him to believe that she waa
not wholly unarming.

ance of the girl In brown. But,

Nicholson was making a pleuaura
tour. He was one of those fortunate
young men who have sufficient Income
to make work unnecessary. Not that
be was an Idler. He meant to take
Lp sociology seriously—was. In fact,
on Ida way to England at the Invita­
tion of a friend, to attend some crowd­
ed political meeting« In the Black
country, the Industrial part of the
Midland«.
The girl tn brown would not say
anything more than "good-morning"
and "good-evening.” She even seemed
to resent Nicholson's attempts to
force himself upon her, the young
man thought. So. by the time the
voyage was half ended be had loft
her severly alone.
It was one of the greatest disap­
pointments that be had ever had. He
was not an unduly Impressionable
young man, but the girl In brown bad
made a profound impression upon his
heart. There is some inner sense that
tells us whether these affairs have In
them the possibility of permanence.
Nicholson felt that he could love the
girl In brown—given propinquity for
tbo development of his passion—until
be died.
However, love must have respon­
siveness, and by the time lie reached
Oxford he had only a pleasant, mel­
lowed memory of her. He put up at
the Queen’s hotel. Hie room was on
a long corridor. And as be entered it
he heard light footsteps coming along
the passage, and looked round to see
the girl In brown.
She did not pay the slightest heed
to him, but, without any sign of rec­
ognition. entered her room adjacent.
Nicholson sighed, changed his mind
about going to bed, and went out and
promenaded the High for nearly an
hour.

said. "I'll give you an extra shine.
Thank you kindly, sir."
Nicholson went to bed and slept like
a just man without remorse or care.
In fact, he was a little ashamed to
discover, when be opened his eyes,
that the sun was shining brightly. He
opened his door. Outside lay one of
his shoes. And, next to It. was a
small and very shapely lady’s shoe,
evidently the property of his next-door
neighbor. Ills missing shoe was no­
where to be seen.
Nicholson had a spare pair of shoes
In his bag, and he put them on. Then
he stood staring In perplexity at what
lay before his eyed. Boots must have
made a hideous blunder. Nicholson
went down to pick a quarrel with him.
But Boots was nowhere to be found.
And. as Nicholson munched his break­
fast, a telegram was put Into hla hand.
“Meet me at Coventry at four,” It
ran. It was from the friend who was
to guide him throigch the maze of
sociological observations that lay be­
fore him.

ROADS EXPECTED
Highway construction for 1926 will
result not only In better and smooth­
er roads, but new records are expect­
ed to be made in roadway building,
according to a survey just completed
by 0. R. Ktokes, manager of the high­
way construction department of the
National Lime association.
A series of testa made In various
sections of the country show that by
adding hydrated lime to the mix, a
material saving In time is secured,
particularly on grades and curves, ac­
cording to leading engineers and con­
tractors who took part In th« teats.
Experiments in building a road In
marathon county, Wisconsin, showed
that an average of 77 more lineal feet
of 18-foot real waa laid a day when
lime was used.
“All of the reports showed that lima
added to th« concrete mix allows It
to be placed easier, and permits a
quicker finish," Mr. Stokes said. ‘Th«
contractor's report that there la
lack of segregation, that there Is no
excess of water to be removed from
the pavement surface, and that maxi­
mum consistency can be maintained
through better control of the water
content."
The contractors reported
that the use of lime not only con­
served time, with a resultant reduc­
tion In pay roll expenses, bot also
gave ths road to the public for use
at an earlier date.
According to T. Warren Allen,
chief of the division of control of the
bureau of public roads, the “lost-time”
element Is a problem that Is of th«
gravest Importance In road building.
Appearing before the house commit­
tee on roads recently Mr. Allen de­
clared that the bureau of public roads
was collecting information to show
the results of poor management and
good management in th« building of
highways.
"There ar« a great many mor«
items In the lost-time category than
would
appear
possible
at
first
thought," h« said, "and during th«
time that work is actually performed
ther« are widely varying results, rang­
ing from excellent progress due to
good management, to slow progress
due to poor management”
“On the Janesville road In Wiscon­
sin. as well as on roads in Ohio, tha
mix containing lime was so dry that
rolling was unnecessary, reports re­
ceived by Mr. Stokes from those
states show.
"Th« elimination of this operation
Increased the efficiency of the job and
enabled the finishers to work clo«« to
the machine, which resulted in a large
saving In overtime finishing coats," Mr.
Stokes declared.
“Reports from all sections of th«
country being received at present in­
dicate that more headway will b«
made during the coming summer
months In highway construction than
ever before, and that the roads will be
open to the public much sooner as a
result of our testa, showing a large
saving of time In th« laying of con­
crete roods,” he said.
