He points out that Christmas time should not limit the reason nor the time of giving, and proceeds to show the many opportunities that present themselves for us to cheer and comfort those in our community who are less fortunate than we. The thoughts and suggestions contained in this article are most timely and if put into practice would tend to alleviate much sorrow and suffering and above all bring growth and happiness to the souls who practice the simple but important suggestions offered. this article to our We commend readers and express our appreciation for the contribution. We always have room for articles of this kind. Let us have more of them. THE KINDLING TORCH The tumult and the shouting which usher the Old Year derisively out and drag the New Year hilariously in is, after all, only a spent hour of For when the noise has died and the little night is past, the self-abando- n. . ; fact remains; and the fact is a mile- stone set firmly in the fibre of our (iving journey, and it would come in-if we slept, or if we kept vigil or, deed, if we passed into eternity in advance of the event. It is fatality we celebrate, whether we recognize it or not; it is human limitation we speed into the night with the old year, knowing that all things are beyond our control; and thus we play the bravo, daring Time to do what he can and will, since the dawn is not of our numbering. For some the night of capering; for others the morning of reflection. "Resist the beginnings," urges Ovid, but he speaks of temptations. "Those remarks Cassius, I that with haste," "will make a mighty fire, begin it with weak straws." That is wisdom, and the weak straws of our flame are the gleanings of New Year's Day, left from the vanished harvest of the dead year. Spenser was not the first, nor the last, to (discover that "each goodlyt thing is hardest to begin," but there is a quite common discovery that even the weakest of good intentions leaves a reproach among its ruins, and that is something. Life is a succession of moods, ' through which we pass again and again; and, according to our character, some grow strong and some more faintly marked as they revolve. The coming of the New Year is of all these moods the most arresting, because it conspires with the seasons to symbolize life itself. He is a bold man who dares shut his ears to the of the summons this day , tolling echoes; he is a foolish man, too, for if the bells monotone their warning they also peal their promise. Who knows of tomorrow? Of another such day, a year hence, and what shall be written? Whither the trail; what the rewards ? Something stirs within as the day glides into the year; and that profound element of high adventure, which shines through the eyes of a boy for whom all the earth awaits a conqueror, flickers, perchance flames, and lights "a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not be put out." Good intentions are not to be despised; they are their own benediction. Not all are wise enough to collect weak Itrawst but the fault is born of zeal. So long as we ponder the matter and realize, if once a year, that it is even better and more t useful to live for good ideals than to die for them, each New Year holds towards us the kindling torch.

The corn end onts may be fed ground until the calves become accustomed to eating; then they may be fed whole. When fed whole they are less likely to cause scours. The grain allowance should be increased gradually up to weaning time so that the lack of milk will not hinder growth and fattening. Calves from cows that are milked should be taught also to eat supplemented feeds within a few weeks after birth. The quantity of grain and hay consumed at first necessarily will be limited, but should be increased gradually until the calf can do without milk when from six to eight months old. Fall calves that are fed skim milk and other feeds during the winter months put on very good galps on J pasture the following summer. I After weaning, alfalfa or clover hay and silage may form the greater part of the roughage and one-hato three-fourtof a pound of cottonseed meal or linseed meal given In addition to grain. The grain ration may be Increased gradually until the calves are receiving a fattening ration. Calves that are to be finished on pasture may be handled In about the same way as those to be fattened In the dry lot The grain allowance may be smaller at first but after the calves are turned on pasture It should be Increased as they become able to utilize greater quantities of grain. Calves that are to be "fed out" as or sold long yearlings or as stockers and feeders may be fed considerably more cheaply during the first winter. The winter ration may consist principally of silage and cheap but some- concentrates roughages, should be used to keep the calves growing In a thrifty condition. They should be run on pasture the following summer and sold in the fall as feeders or fattened out the following winter as long yearlings. If it Is desired to keep them longer, the cattle may be "'oughed" through a second winter and fattened the next year. ltp Everything' for irt See Mrs. N. E. Shaw Needle work. at Shaw hogs.

This, aside from the calfs breeding, is probably the most Important consideration. In straight beef production only a small quantity of feed in addition to milk is needed for the calves up to weaning time, but nevertheless they should be taught to eat grain and liny so that the change during weaning will not result in loss of tlesh. When calves are intended for baby beef they should be started on some grain when between four and six weeks old. A mixture of equal parts, In Crosley R.

There is hardly room for argument that whfet is good for the community is, broadly considered, good for the individual in his work. Conversely, what is good for the individual in the best sense is good for every other man, woman ami child in the community. Too much must not be expected from politicians and parties, too often approached from both sides on the basis of a horse trade. Governmental agents must be supplemented by the efforts of private persons who can envision things as they ought to be, and at long range. Politicians and office holders, regardless of what they may say in their campaigns, are mostly concerned with getting into office and staying in. That is why they are in politics. They are in politics to get into office or to have a hand in putting others in office, as other men and women are in business or professions to make money or a career, or both. But the politician and office holder is usually wise enough to know that that which is beneficial to the community or state or nation will best react to his benefit. His motives for serving the public may be selfish but the service is no poorer for that No man can long remain in public office or in political control who consistently disregards the will and welfare of the voters. Public service is the foundation upon which he must build his political power. Failure to give satisfactory service has wrecked more political careers than anything else. Convince the majority of the voters that those in office are not giving a fair return, in service, on the dollar, in taxes, and it will take more than a slush fund and political machine to keep them in office.
