Results of a three-year-old experi ment with calves, yearlings and two- year-olds to study the influence of age on the economy and profit of feeding for beef production Indicated that the Initial cost per hundred pounds of meat produced was greater with the calves than with the older cattle; that the length of time necessary for finishing steers decreased with age; that the rate and the cost - of gain and the proportion of ronghage to concentrates consumed Increased with age; and that the amount of gain necessary In finishing cattle of equal condition de creased as their age increased. . The difference In total quantity of feed necessary for finishing cattle of dif ferent ages and fed to the same marketable finish was negligible. The experienced farmer who feeds cattle should handle older cattle in preference to calves, while the farmer who produces and finishes his own cat- While this Is regarded as the best practice under ordinary circumstances, there are advantages, especially at this time in feeding younger cattle, the principal ones being the obtaining of a higher market price for the finished steer, if of good breeding, and an op portunity to bold for a longer period of time when fattened with less loss than the more mature steer.” Confidences. • The discouraging thing about telling a friend about an Interesting thing IJSt your own troubles Is that It reminds him of his and he has to tell a bon them a« If onvhoiH eared The Of the IS 109 depth.

Few of us realize the Importance of saving waste paper. Today when the country Is threatened with a wood and paper famine and our forests are dis appearing so rapidly every effort should be made to save every scrap of paper. It Is estimated that the sav ing of paper would make It possible to save over 1,000.000,000 feet of lumber each year. Waste paper, such as old magazine«, books, all kinds of printed matter and paper books, takes the place of wood pulp anvl saves mil lions of trees. Such material Is used for paper, making paper boxes, roof ing and building ^boards and paper shipping containers of all kinds, which carry us much as 100 pounds. If ev ery one would save the waste paper in his home It would not be necessary to use a single tree for such material. It would require more than 500,000.000 feet of lumlH-r «*ach year to make the paper shipping • uses used throughout the country.—Boys’ Life. rWe will Sull you a used or rebuilt Eord <’ar, mid guarantee it tu be uh rvpr.esentetl mm lifter one week’s try-out, if you lire not si t* isfietl, we will take it bark mid apply purchase price on any other car you mu' select from us.
