Mun and file* will do Its part <Meao, cool water will ahl. The time. oKpe.'ao and planning required to bring contentment with- better gain* and finish and price, la not large and pays real dividends. The feede# of steers during 1920 with the late summer or fall market la mind must carry Into hla plans a knowledge of range conditions, says Wallace's Farmer. Karly reports on tb* range country gave cattle as coin lag through the winter In good shape, with plenty of feed. Grass Is abundant over a large part of the West. Heavy summer rslns msy delay the Swing up of the grass and the consequent hardening procesa of the beef. However, the prospects are very good that a large portion of the range rattle, will come to market In killing condition., ThJa means direct competition for the corn-belt feeder who has only half-fat a^d poorly finished cornfeds. Home years this la not the esse. At present, prospects all Indicate that the best chance of a profit will come with well-finished yearlings. In general tills calls for heavy grain rations [\ whether the cattle are finished In the dry lot or on grass. In llue with the abundance and cheapness of corn thlH appears to he the sound policy. Huccess with summer feeding rails for more than the liberal use of the scoop urounjl the corn. There are several other things that add to comfort and gains. One Is the providing of a reasonable amount of, shelter from sun and files. If the cattle are pasture fattened and good thick shade Is available, no further worry on this eqore need be given. ' If, however, only a few of no trees are available, artificial shade of some sort should be provided if the best gains are to be made. Sheds of willow or box cider . ' poles and straw on top give n solid shade that is very helpful. If In addition strips, of burlap or old sacks enn be hung at the edges, darkening the shed, It will be greatly increased In value. On most farms where cattle are fattened there Is generally u shed or barn in the feed lot that can be made into a very effeetlve shelter from the sun /mil' tiles. Covering the windows its completely as possible by use of burlap allows- ulr movement without lighting. Burlap curtains at the doors or open sides down to four feet from the ground Is a cheap and effective means of giving comfort to eat tie on feed. If the grain Is fed in the yard and the steers go to hiiiI from the pasture, they should he allowed to return to the pasture at night. Too often they are shut in the yard at nigh', thus making necessary the gathering of their forage during the da v. When iy the tlies are had and the heat intense, being required to gal her their rough ago under those conditions greatly reduces their gains. Clean, cool water la appreciated by luiumns; also by cattle on feed. Experiments on Worming of Hogs Are Under Way Some experiments <>u the "worming ' of hogs are under way at Iowa State rollrgc, wtrh pnntrutQT"r^rei-enOo ( > the most effeethe method of using santonin. This drug, which 1ms Ixhmi considered the moat effective worm treatment In the world over a period of more than fifty years, has been practically off the market for several years, hut supplies are again becoming available, and it Is likely that it will be practically universally . used again as a worm treatment. < The new Iowa experiments are to determine whether santonin should he * administered alone or mixed with other drugs, such as calomel and uloin. ' Another phase of the work will determine to what extent the worm treatment cun he given to a large number of hogs at once, In the feed, as compared with tlie method of treating each hog individually. Live Stock Notes Hogs following cattle In the feed lot are generally handled at a profit. c \ As a pasture crop sweet clover will carry more stock than any , other legume. Start the grazing when the plants are G to 8 inches high. o After pigs are weaned brood sows that are running on good pasture need only a limited amount of grain to carry them through the summer in food shape to farrow again In the fall The .voting sow that la atill growIn* needs more grain than old sows that are fully grown. In addition to pasture brood bowk should be fed enough grain to keep them gaining a tittle In flesh. A horae needs about two ounces of salt dally.

'Young Chickens Spread Tuberculosis to Swine It Is a general belief thjit chicken* under one year of age seldom develop tuberculosis to the extent of becoming -spreaders of the disease.

Dosing may consist of either copper sulphate or nicotine sulphate (Black I.eaf 40). Never use both treatments at the same time. The copper sulphate solution is uuule by dissolving two ounces of dark blue copper sulphate crystals in one gallon of water. The nicotine sulphate Is prepared, by adding two teaspoonfuls to'one quart of water. Keep the sheep off feed for 18 hours before and six hours after treatment. If possible, turn them on pasture not grazed by sheep for two months .previous. (live sheep weighing 50 to tin pounds one ounce of either solution, hut never both.

Burning Weeds in Fall Wjll .Kill Their Seeds Fall Is the best time to burn weeds. The burning of weeds Is a practice that should be universally followed in places where they cannot be used for green manure. The use of fire do ?troys the seed as well as the unsightly dearJL plants. Where weeds are burned In the fall there Is less chance for the seeds to he scattered than lHter. when the plants have died from frost. It 1h n good plan to mow the weeds close to the ground white they are still green and immediately rake them Into piles. In this way the seed will not he rattled out.

A chubb/ fourteen-year-old girl, with flaxen hair, cut itt bangs, is laying plans to convert New York City. Her name is Uldine Mabelle Utley, Dr. John Roach Htratton describes her as,j "the most extraordinary person in America" and as the "Joan of Arc of the modern religious world." Miss Utley hails from Durant, Okta., and first spoke Sf an evangelist at Fresno, Cal. Until two years ago she was fired with a desire to go into the movies or on the stage. While on her way to a rehearsal for her debut on the stage, she found the door of the rehearsal room lock&l. She strayed aimlessly into a revival meeting. "Suddenly I realized that there was a Divine Being," she said, "because people had been walking in and out there all the time, and others walked through shortly after. God had called to me and had shown Himself in this way. ? "Then my grandfather took me to a revival meeting, although at first'I didn't want tq, go The subject was, J rr.'v ; '? 1 J 'David and Goliath,' but I didn't understand what It waa all about. But wheu the invitation carae I felt suddenly that I needed Jesus* and before I could reason, I found 1 was crying, r- went down the aisle and knelt in prayer, A kind woman came and asked me what I was going to be and I answered* without knowing why, "I'm going to be a little Goliath." Miss Utley has preached all over the West. At a recent meeting in Palm Beach, Fla., "strortg men ivept and forget themselves (completely in their new salvation," Dr. Stratton said. Her voice is strong and has developed the traditional evangelistic inflections and mannerisms. "I would rather," she cried at her first meeting in New York, "see one man or woman saved than to travel around thq world as I first thought of doing as a movie star." Her meetings are being conducted at Calvary Baptist Church, where she spoke fpr two hours at her first service and led the jlarge audience in prayer. Men and women sobbed as the girl exhorted them to live a good life. "And a little child shall lead them." ( Holy Roller Woman Dies. Owensboro, tiy., Oct. 26.?Mrs. Beulah Norris, wife of Rev. L. R. Norris, a Holy Roller preacher, died today following her refusal to allow a physician to give her medical attention. Three weeks ago her husband was arrested on a warrant sworn out by her father, George Gipe, charging him with attempt at involuntary manslaughter for refusing to seek medical aid for his wife; The case however was passed indefinitely.
