YOU TELL ON YOURSELF
You tell what you are by tho friends
you seek,
By the very manner in which you
speak,
By the way you employ your leisure
time,
By the use you make of dollar and
dime.
You tell what you are by the things
you wear,
By the spirit in which you burdens
bear,
By the kind of things at which you
laugh,
By the records you play on your
phonograph.
You tell what you are by the way you
walk,
By the things of which you delight to
talk, '
By the manner in which you bear
defeat, *
By so simple a 'ching as what you eat.
?
By tho books you choose from the
well-filled shelf.
In these ways and more you toll on
yourself,
So there's really no particle of sense
In an effort to keep up false .pretense.

Animal Husbandry. By all means

Give lambs grain in a creep, say five
parts of corn to one of cottonseed,
meal, and have them fat to market as |
soon as they average 70 pounds. t
Temper horses and mules which have
boon idle to the spring work, and feed
oats if available instead of corn, thus
causing fewer cases of colic.
Dairying. Conti/iue liberal grain
ration, to cows in milk especially.
Plant plenty of corn for ensilage and
grain for fend for next winter. Save
land for ample soybean or jKiavine*
hay. Keep cows off pasture In early
