THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C, Careful Management , Needed to Meet Goals I Increased efficiency can solve yert wt the 1944 livestock and poultry SretHac problem, according to War TomI administration officials. | Daring 1942-43, about 28 per ceht more feed concentrates was em- pjeyrd than during 1941-42, but out- pat of livestock products increased pT only 13 per cent. ; Officials point out that if the rate ■t feeding can be held midway be- feveea the two-thirds of a ton of con- jeentrates per livestock unit fed dur- ing 1941-42 and the three-fourths of • too fed during 1942-43, production t of 1944 should be achieved with 1 ef only 140.7 million tons of feed •Gocentrates. This would be about 7 million tons less than last year’s feeding. ! Suggestions made by department of agriculture officials with regard to feeding efficiency include: Light Pogs can be produced with less feed per pound than heavy hogs; more eggs can be produced with fern feed by culling out more of the ooo-layers and keeping a larger per- •eatege of pullets; beef cattle should Bo fed shorter and lighter; and more dependence should be placed •n roughage for cattle and sheep. Experts urge elimination of crowded farm conditions whereever possible. With many farmers rais- tog more corn and soybeans, for example, less pasture is available and resulting crowded conditions atribute to disease and to death among animals and poultry. Farmers in feed surplus areas Bare been urged to produce the aeumodities they can produce best and to adjust their livestock opera tions to a level that will enable the shipment of some surplus feed to fee farmers in deficit-feed areas. 1 "Have you noticed a difference in feis clover since the boss started using phosphates and lime?” Yearling Heifers Thrive On Plenty of Roughage > Heifers, like older cows, are capa ble of utilizing large amounts of soughage. Dr. George E. Taylor, extension dairyman at Rutgers U., says that feeding heifers all the moghage they will eat is a grain- saving practice worth considering. “■vvij-ling heifers can be success- feHy raised on roughage alone from one year of age to two months prior to freshening,” Dr. Taylor reports. "Daring summer, heifers must be provided abundant pasture in order to make good gains on pasture alone. This can best be done by a system of rotation grazing. A large group wt Holstein and Guernsey heifers at the New Jersey Dairy Research ferm, Sussex county, averaged a gain of one and a fifth pounds per day on pasture alone. Holsteins gained an average of one and a half pounds and Guernseys one pound. "In winter, the same group of heifers on hay and silage alone gained from a fifth of a pound to one pound a day. During the entire period, the heifers were normal and carried plenty of flesh.” t Heifers under one year of age must be fed some grain to grow ■ormally. The required amount de pends upon the quality of roughage fed. However, baby calves can be raised on a minimum amount of milk and changed to dry feed at fere to six weeks of age, resulting in a saving of both milk and grain. "Some dairymen may be tempted to discontinue raising heifers in or der to conserve grain,” Dr. Taylor says, “but this would be a short- mgkted program from the stand- pood of the future dairy industry. However, do not waste feed by rais- feg poor heifers. Select only the Best heifers for replacements.” j Farm Notes ’ The best ,jvay of turning a cow fey is to reduce the amount of feed and, when necessary, limit the aoiount of water and simply stop milking. I * * * Enough butter has been allocated By the War Food administration to give civilians during 1944 slightly more than a pound a month per capita, a total of 76 pounds out of every 100 pounds of creamery and ferm butter available. Wedding Bells Bring Out Brides, Beauty and Gayety Bride’s Shower Cake is a delicate angel food frosted prettily with fresh strawberry icing, garnished With whole berries. Here comes the bride!

GOLDEN TEXT—Be ye kind one to an- rther, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, rven as God also In Christ forgave you.— Ephesians 4:32. Brotherhood is one of those fine qualities or impulses of the soul of vhich men like to speak when all is !air and prosperous, and promptly ’orget in times of distress and strug- ;le. That is just where Christiani- y shows forth at its best, for it is m the hour of need, sorrow, or afflic tion that real Christian brotherhood ihows its depth and durability. Paul was in prison when he wrote to Philemon. The one of whom he vrote, Onesimus, was a slave who lad deserted his master and proba bly defrauded him (v.18). He had seen converted, and now was being sent back to his master. So we 'lave three Christian men dealing with a very delicate matter, and pro viding us a picture of brotherhood in tetion. We learn that it is— I. Courteous (w. 4-9). After a fine spiritual salutation, Paul enters upon an appeal to Phile mon which is a model of tact and sourtesy. One could wish that those jvho think that being faithful to the Lord and true to His Word means being blunt and unkind, would learn »f Paul. First he lets Philemon know of ills prayerful interest in him. Paul bad been praying for him, that’s ivhy he could say such a helpful Krord. Praying for our fellow man prepares us for genuine brotherly love. Then he recognizes Philemon a goodness, and his effective testimo ny for Christ. This is an excellent approach to the making of a re quest, but be sure that it was not empty or hypocritical flattery. We do well to recognize the fine quali ties of our Chris ;'an brother, and we could profitably speak of them more than we do. Then Paul was ready to make his request. See how nicely he does it. He skillfully reminds Philemon that he might make some demands, and especially in view of his age and his imprisonment. But he will not do so, rather he says, “I beseech thee." There is fine Christian cour tesy. H. Considerate (w. 10-16). Paul, the aged prisoner, had found in his new convert, Onesimus, a real helper. He would have liked to keep him. In fact, says he to Philemon, Onesimus could do for me the things you would want to do if you were here (v. 13). Undoubtedly Paul could have been sure of the willingness of Philemon. He could have assumed that the re quest would be granted. And in any case, Philemon did not even know where Onesimus was, so why not keep him? True Christian consideration re spects the personal rights and the property rights of another. We must not assume, or demand, or put pres sure on anyone (v. 14) to get what they have or to draw out their serv ice. Another expression of considera tion is found in verses 15 and 18. Philemon had lost a heathen slave, now he is receiving back a Chris tian brother. No worker will give less In service, and no master will demand more, because the two are both Christians. We need to recog nize that fact, for all too often men presume on their relationship ai brethren. But the fact that they are Christians should make a great dif ference in their attitude toward one another. III. Cooperative (w. 17-21). Partners share the benefits and the burdens of their joint enterprise. Partners in the gospel, like Paul and Philemon, shared not only spir itual blessings, but also the respon sibilities. Paul was presenting suet an item to Philemon in the return ol Onesimus. Something had to hi done about the debt of Onesimus his failure as a servant. Paul says, “Charge it to me, your partner.” It has been pointed out that then is here a blessed example of the im portant doctrine of imputation, whict is the “act of God whereby He a© counts righteousness to the believei in Christ,” because He “has born* the believer’s sins in vindication o! the law.” So we note that verses 11 and 18 perfectly illustrate imputa lion. Paul’s promise “I will repay if (v. 19) was the legal phraseology o! a promissory note in his day. It was a bonafide partnership transac tion, yet it was coupled with a re minder of indebtedness. Everythin! Philemon had and was he owed t< Paul; but, says the latter, “I wil not speak of that now.” Consider© tion again, but opening the dooi wide for Philemon’s cooperation. No right thinking person Is contem always to be on the receiving hand The humblest recipient of favor oi the smallest child who feels the lov« of another wants to respond. Th( considerate friend will, therefore not always insist on giving, but wil graciously (like Paul) open the waj for cooperation, for partnership.
