HenUy. SWEET SANDWICHES The brisk winds of the early winter stir the blood, the appetite, and the social Instincts as well. Afternoon teas, bridge luncheons, dinners, and children's parties are under swing when the, outdoors is less attractive than a cheerful Are; ^ Sandwiches are always appropriate for most occasions, especially if the fillings are novel and tasty. Here are a» few suggestions which are easily prepared and may be used for a lunch box or a party: Put a dozen dates and one-fourth pound of peanut brittle through a food chopper, mix thoroughly and spread on graham crackers. Cover with another cracker and press firmly together. Crush half a dozen chocolate creams with a wooden spoon, add a tablespoonful of cream or rich milk and stir until well blended. Spread on vanilla wafers, cover with a layer of grape jelly and top with another wafer. Crash a dozen coconut bonbons in a bowl, add two tablespoonfuls of orange marmalade and mix well. Spread on eoila crackers, cover with another to form a sandwich and -toast in a hot oven. Serve hot and crisp with a cupful of tea. Place large marshmallows on saltine biscuits, put into the oven until the marshmallow has melted. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with finely chopped candied cherries and walnuts. This Is an open sandwich. A most delicious filling for an afternoon tea sandwich is grated maple sugar, finely chopped blanched almonds and cream to mix to the consistency to spread. Jellies of various kind9 make most delightful fillings for a tea sandwich. Beat' the jelly until smooth, then spread very lightly on thinly buttered bread. Diet Experiment Experiments undertaken to studs the effect of diet on monks In the vegetarian monasteries of the Trappist, Carmelite and Carthusian orders and on meat-eating monks attached to Benedictine and Franciscan monasteries show that vegetarian monks, even In old age, have a normally low blood pressure, while their meat-eating brethren, In spite of monastic life, have as .high blood pressure as the crdinmy man of the world. < Publicity Mu'i P< Jud Tunkins says a live publicity ,tman, If he works In the right part of .the world, can get a typewriter and a camera and make a street fight look like a revolution.--Washington Star.

Mrs. Macy was an attractive young woman whose age would have been guessed somewhere in the thirties. She was plump, goodnatured and generally liked in the community. Somehow she came to be called Widow Millie by the neighbors, who used the name a« much to express their kindly feelings as to distinguish her from other people. Bob Ramsay and Jim Walden were both eligible widowers and each owned a quarter section of good land adjoining Widow' Millie's land, one on the north and one on the east. Each seemed n trifle more than anxious to have everything go right on the widow's ranch and neither was backward in the proffer of advice or offers to help. To do this properly required a call and neither was averse to calling. Tom Moulton was a bachelor--a timid, bashful bachelor who could blush better than he could talk, In the BU17E STOCKS SHgEP REQUIRE MORE ROUGHAGE presence of ladies. He owned a» good ranch and was one of the most thrifty formers in the community. He was good looking and very obliging. He was well liked but no one believed that he could ever muster the courage to propose .marriage to any woman. He often slipped over to the widow's farm, to see Mike, of course. He gave his farm advice to Mike. Sometimes he exchanged work with Mike and on these occasions there was an extra white cloth on the table and the biscuits had an extra flakiness. Tom liked the biscuits. Tom ate the biscuits but he could not think of a word to say when the conversation was directed to him. On the night before Christmas both Bob and Jim called and Widow Millie proceeded to entertain both in the parlor. She managed conversation and kept It going in the general direction while the visitors fidgeted and squirmed, each hoping that the other would soon leave. Millie was sure that Tom was in the kitchen. She £ould hear the muffled conversation of two slow-speaking men. Millie extended an Invitation to both her yisitors to come over the next day and have Christmas dinner with her. This was the signal for both to leave. After their departure Millie went td the kitchen, but Tom had gone and Mike had retired. But hanging on the kitchen wall just over the stove was Straw, Corn Stover, "Vyinter " Pasture, Silage Help* Suggestions to sheep men Mtf" providing roughage for their stock, by buying only a minimum amount of hay, are given by L. A. Kauffmau, sheep specialist for the Ohio State university. . Sheep require more roughage than grain, and roughage is necessary to prevent serious digestive disorders, he says. The short hay crop makes necessary the use of straw, corn stover, winter pasture and silage more than is normally recommended. All of these feeds may be used, he advises, but due to their character and effects some laxative, high-protein supplement such as linseed cake must be supplied. Pasturing standing corn or stalk fields, when such are available, also will reduce the amount of hay re' quired, Kauffman says. If the corn Is to be cut, this is not advisable, he believes. Better still, he says. Is corn silage, when the farmer owns a silo. Silage is a cheap and excellent roughage when supplemented with a small amount of hay and a little cottonseed or linseed cake. Three pounds of sl- Inge to one pound of hay Is his recommendation. Where grass has fafled, rye may be sown In stubble to provide late fall and early spring grazing. Rye also may be sown In corn. Oats, too, may be used as an emergency hay crop. When cut in the dough stage oats hay has a feeding value equivalent to mixed hay, he says. With oats' gelling at 25 to 80 cents a bushel In northeastern Ohio, Kauffman suggests to southeastern Ohio sheep men that they buy in carload lots now. Oats is an excellent growing feed for sheep, and due to Its bulky character, less roughage must be fed with ft. Comparisons of Slimmer and Winter Rations An interesting deduction from the self;feeding experiment in West Vir glnla is that heifers that make gains above jormal In winter will make gains below normal the following summer on pasture. In four comparisons of three groups of heifers--one group for two pasture seasons--that were self-fed grain and given free access to roughage, the average winter gain was 316.5 pounds per head, whereas the same heifers gained only 85.2 pounds on pasture. No grain was fed on pasture. Similar heifers, hand-fed, averaged 154 pounds per bead for the winter feeding periods and 190 pounds per head for the pasture season. No grain was fed on pasture. It should be remembered, however, that the hand-fed groups were well fed. It would be a mistake to deduce from these figures that poor winter feeding will be overtaken on good pasture. If a calf 1s stunted by poor winter rations. It cannot make as good use of pasture as the more vigorous, well fed calf. Mr. and Mrs. John Cappeller of Chicago spent Sunday at the Joe Lenzen home.

Going closer she observed a piece of note paper pro trading from one of them. She pulled It out hastily and excitedly read: "Widow Millte: I have hung these stockings up here for you. I want you to fill them and wear them tomorrow I have hung up a pair for myself a) home. I will fill them and wear them over here tomorrow noon. The preach er and his wife will be with me. I fixed up everything else at the courthouse this afternoon. I can farm better If I do not have to cook. You can cook better if you do not have to farm. This Is an honest offer, from Tom." It would be hard to describe the thoughts that raced through Millie's mind. At first she was Indignant. She resented It as an Impertinence. "He had his nerve," she said almost aloud a dozen, times, but she Smiled when she thought that nerve was the very thing that Tom was supposed not to have. She liked Tom, and if he hud come out boldly and proposed in the usual way she did not know what slip would have done. She took up the note again, but she could only see the last line--"this is an honest offer, from Tom." It "smote her with Us Straightforwardness and simplicity •'He Is honest," she said to herself. She resolved first one thing, then another, but always came back to that last line--the honest offer. The !a«t line won. When Tom, the preacher and hts wife arrived, Widow Millie had the stockings filled and dinner was well on the way. The minister's wife finished It. Bob and Jim were In time for the ceremony, and of course they stayed for their Christmas dinner. (Q. 1*30, Weilern Nawapapw Union.) Satisfactory Remedy for Vermin on Cattle (By W. H. PETERS, Montana Bzperlment Station.) A mixture of half powdered sabadllla seed and one-half sulphur sprinkled along the back and over the neck of the animal Is a fairly satisfactory remedy for lice on cattle In the winter months. This powder need be sprinkled only lightly Into the hair and It does not take very much to treat one animal. One-elgbth of a pound of sabadllla seed and one-eighth of a pound flower of sulphur would be sufficient for treating one animal two or three times. It is best to sprinkle an animal Infested with lice once every four to six weeks through the winter months to keep the lice down. <3 Every member of tfie family will welcome and ap|rf€61ate 5*UfMtlire, Gifts--and you may buy them h,er6 with every assurance of satisfaction, at reasonable prices, and on terms.

Ground Wheat for Live Stock Is Satisfactory Advisability of feeding wheat to live stock Is a question which often confronts live stock feeders when the prices of corn and wheat ate £lose together. E. T. Robblns, extension specialist at the Illinois experiment station, reports that coarsely ground wheat Is worth as much or more as the same weight of shelled corn for hogs. When wheat Is 75 cents a bush el and can be ground for 5 cents or less, It will pay to feed wheat Instead of 75-cent corn. Cheaper corn, how ever, would likely he a more economl cal feod. Ground wheat, according to Mr. Bobbins, has about the same valve for other stock as for hogs.
