TRAINED HORSE A NUISANCE British Officer’s Experience Shows That It Is Not Always Wise to Teach One Tricks. It is not always wise to teach a horse to play tricks, as this story, told by Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell in Pearson's Magazine, proves. John Leech’s inimitable circus horse that insisted on sitting down with his rider whenever he heard a band play, is the prototype of a horse of mine. t w hich, in a weak moment, I had taught to rear up and "salaam" whenever I, leaned forward to make a bow. It was all very pretty when I was out riding and met any lady of my ac quaintance. but it became an infernal nuisance when I was out pig sticking* 1 would lean forward to meet the rush of a charging boar with my spear— up would go the silly beast on end, just at the moment when his safety depended on my taking a true and deadly aim with my spear point. The consequence was that his hind legs showed many scars from boars' tusks. k'v- and he was lucky that he did not end N his career with his belly ripped open. 1 had. too, at one time, a fine, but somewhat nervous charger. One day, on a parade, my mount suddenly gave way with me, and quietly lay down. I thought for the moment he was ill. but, on rousing him. he immediately sprang to his feet again, quite fit and well. A week or two later, when rid ing with a friend, we stopped for a moment to admire the view, when down he went again. It was evident to me that he had been trained to lie down at a given signal, but I never could discover for the life of me w hat that signal was.

What the British are undertaking in the Nile country, in the introduction of irrigation plans, was carried out to an interesting extent about 6,500 years ago by King Menes. He is credited with the earliest irrigation works, when dykes were made on the west bank of the Nile to retain the flood wa ters on the land for a longer period, the east bank being left open for the inundation to spend itself freely. Two thousand years later Amenemhat III extended the same system of "basin ir rigation” to the east bank, and in order to ward off the danger of a high flood he made Lake Moeris w here is now the \ Fayum. Into this great artificial lake, one of the wonders of the world at that period, the high waters were allowed to escape, and from it, when the crest of the flood had passed, the basins of lower Egypt were kept supplied, with out danger of overflooding.

PETERS COMPANY, 2512 O STREET, 80LTH OttWM Sportswoman in Hunting Season A FRENCH idea in hunting garb is shown here which the practical American may make use of in fashion ing her own. N'o American who un dertakes tramping through field and wood and over hill and valley would consider following this model exactly. e wear short skirts, bloomers and leggings and are prepared to tramp the wild, not always following beaten paths. But hunting and fishing and tramping in the alluring out-of-doors Is not simply a pose with the Amer ican sportswoman: she really hunts some, fishes considerably, and tramps much. The Jacket in the model pictured is Ideal. Made of checked tweed in shades of brown, it is roomy enough for freedom and snug enough for com fort, and is not ungraceful. The back Is plain, with the fronts fulled in a little above the belt. The sleeves, of the plain coat-sleeve variety, are finished with a pointed cuff on the up per side. The yoke overlaps the Jacket at the top, fastening on the shoulder, and a plain turn-over collar finishes the neck. Plain machine stitching finishes all edges. The Jacket fastens with snap fasteners, and small metal buttons, 1 put on in diagonal rows (three in each row'), are allowed it by way of adorn ment. No one can fathom the idea of the designer in making, to go with sc practical a jacket, a skirt so entirely unsuited to hunting. The proper skirt is to be cut much shorter, extending not below the calf of the leg, or at most to the top of high hunting shoes. It is to fit smoothly about the waist and hips and flare toward the bottom. It should be finished with a machine stitched hem and provided with a few weights. Skirts of this kind are worn over dark-colored bloomers and with the plainest of soft shirtwaists, in brown linen or other strong fabric. The cap is a very good model, with a vizor of which there is only a glimpse in the picture. Such caps are made of velours, chinchilla, velveteens tweeds and similar fabrics, and it would be hard to improve on this one It Is comfortable and becoming. Foi the crisp and glorious days of Indian summer and the light snows of De cember the real sportswoman car equip herself to be entirely comfort able and be conscious of looking well too. Dainty Serving Aprons, to Cost a Quarter IF YOU are casting about for inexpen sive Christmas gifts there is hardly anything that makes as good a show ing, for the smallest outlay, as the little serving apron. Of course these small bits of dainty apparel may be made of fine materials, trimmed with the more costly lingerie laces, and elaborated into expensive affairs, but these will not be any more pleasing than plainer aprons which are equally dainty and are made of Inexpensive cotton fabrics trimmed with sheer em broideries or the cheaper laces. The weaving of cotton into exquisite fabrics that cost little has placed a world of opportunities at the hand of the needle woman. All the fine cot ton lawns, plain and printed, dotted mulls and swiss, plain and printed voiles, fancy nets and cottoD mar quisette are in line with fancy weaves to make the frivolous little accessories of dress and the airy house and party gowns which women are privileged to wear. Everyone of them is available for the serving apron and for the morning cap. There is a saving in buying enough material to cut several aprons, and they may be made of short lengths or pieces or remnants, because the body of the apron is often cut in panels that are set together with narrow val lace. Short lengths of embroidery serve for edgings, because they are put on with out fullness, k pocket, decked out with a small bow or rosette, is an embellishment and comes in handy for the lace-bordered handkerchief. Since it is so much the vogue for the daughters of the house, little and big. or for the young hostess, to serve the guest at tea or luncheon, the serving apron is sure to be appreci I ated by her who is remembered with I one at Christmas time. The pretty ! aprons shown here cost only a quar : ter each. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Wide Skirt Has Arrived. “The wide skirt has arrived,-' says s fashion authority. "It started with the short, flaring misaret tunic. From there it lengthened and expanded into the long, full Russian overskirt. Here | it ruled supreme for some time, bui at last the final drop came, and sud denly, too. and its end is_the three and i a half yard rouncj-the-bottom skirt. The I circular skirt hanging in quaint godet ruffles is a rival of the new plaited | skirt, and Paris favors both as smart autumn styles. The long coat which flares even more than the skirt be neath is the suit coat of the hour, wdiile the basque which clings to the figure has taken the place of the bag gy kimono blouse. It lias brought with it the high collar and the higher ruche, which flares. It is interesting to note that we are to flare both at the neck and at the feet this winter." rur Capss ana Ruffs. Fur trimmings are a strong feature of women's dress this season and therefore it is to be expected that fur should prove a big item in the wom en's neckwear field, according to the Dry Goods Economist. Cape collars of fur finished with standing ruches are a feature, as also are maline ruffs with a fu band in the back. Some of the more elaborate novel ties designed as foundations for eve ning dresses show trimmings of fur, combined with smart opalescent span gles and beads. Fashionable Dark Blue. Dark blue is surely as fashionable as its stanchest admirers could wish to have it. Blue serge has been fash ionable for several seasons, increasing lv so, apparently. And it is as much •vforn now as ever. Of course, blue s**rge coat suits demand blue acces sories, so there are blue net blouses, blue silk and lisle stockings, blue hand bag and other blue things by the score. Then there are many blue velvet hats. Blue is one of the best colors in the lovely new brocades for evening wear, % too. And blue velvet—evep crimson velvet is not more regal looking thaD rich and sumptuous velvet of king’i blue. Ostrich at Hands and Throat. One of the alluring trimmings of the new season in ostrich, and one of the most alluring ways of using it is at the hands and throat of a silk or satin frock. One is old gold charmeuse of soft color and texture has brown os trich flues outlining the round neck and finishing the very long sleeves. | HOGS TO MAKE OUR CATTLE PROFITABLE I ~~ - j I Pork Made in Cattle Feeding Lots. (Prepared by the United State? Depart ment of Agriculture.) The present margin of profit in fat tening cattle for market is so narrow that many authorities assert that it is inadvisable to feed steers without fol lowing them with hogs. If the steers ! sell for enough to pay for expenses the nogs that follow will ordinarily re turn a sufficient profit to pay the farm er for his labor. Interesting figures on this subject have been obtained by the United States department of agriculture from 24 Iowa farms. These farms were all managed by men of undoubted experi ence in raising cattle. A careful ac counting system was adopted and rig idly followed. The experiments began with the feeding year beginning in the fall of 1909. Prices at this time were very satisfactory- and the 961 cattle raised made an average profit of $2.05 per head. These steers yvere followed by 1 1.504 hogs which were given extra grain. The hogs were sold in the spring of 1910 at an average profit of $6.67 per hog. If this profit is credited to the steers, each steer shows a profit of $12.49. In the fol lowing feeding year, however, 1910 to 1911, the outcome was different. Prices were unsatisfactory and the 1,138 cattle were fed at an average loss for the year of 78 cents a head. Nevertheless the 1,646 hogs following the steers turned this loss into a profit. The hogs netted an average profit of $3,333. Crediting this to the steers we have a net profit per steer of $4.04. Opinions differ on the number of hogs that it is well to have follow the steers. When corn is cheap many ; farmers feed the steers more corn than they can eat and run extra hogs | yvhich consume the waste. With high priced grain, however, this can hard- j ly be recommended. A convenient rule, according to the department of agriculture, is to figure on one shoat per steer when shelled com is fed and two when ear corn. In any cir cumstances there should be enough hogs provided to clean up all the waste corn. Another convenient basis of calcu lation is to estimate that when one third of a bushel of com is fed a steer approximately three-fourths of a pound of pork will be obtained. With ear com the gains are greater but on the other hand corn meal or com and cob meal yields very little pork since it is much better utilized by the steer. It seems indeed to be proved that the diet which is most efficient for steers is the less so for hogs and vice versa. It is customary to feed the hogs corn in addition to that which they obtain from the droppings. When this is done the hogs should always be fed separately and preferably be fore the steers in order not to annoy the latter. Farmers' bulletin 588, “Economical Cattle Feeding In the Corn Belt,” in which these questions are discussed, emphasises the desirability of paving feed lots when hogs are following cat tle. It !aas been definitely shown, say the government specialists, that hogs make nearly one pound more of pork on paved lots for each bushel of corn fed the steers. With perk at six cents a pound this item alone will amount to about $1.50 a steer. In ad dition the risk of immediate loss must be taken into consideration. This sometimes compels the farmer to ship his cattle before they are ready and the loss he incurs in one year may well be more than the cost of paving the lot. SUCCESS WITH THE FARM LIVE STOCK Animals Used for Breeding Pur poses Should Possess In dividual Merit. CBy E. VAN BEXTHUYSEN.) Regularity in feeding and work makes long-lived horses. A scrub may yield a profit, but if< so, a good animal would give a great er profit. Feeding an inferior quality of food is not consistent with the most profit able stock feeding. The young sow proves her ability by the way she handles her first lit er. No young animal will return as good results as the ones liberally fed. To be too fiery is a fault in a horse drawing heavy leads on an uneven road. Good stock must have good fare and attention, and then they will make most liberal returns. The food of support is more than the food of gain, under the most fa vorable conditions. The fault in overstocking is not al together in having too much stock, but in not having enough feed. No animal, however well bred, should be used for breeding purposes, unless it has individual merit. Make it a rule to save everything, the saving of which doesn't cost more than it is worth. In breeding, defects are peculiarly persistent, and are more easily stamped upon the next generation, than good qualities. Mixed grasses make a better and surer pasture than a single variety, though it be the very best of all. Scant feeding of the young animal produces that which is all but impos sible to overcome by liberal feeding afterward. There is no surer destruction to a herd, however good, than that of breeding to a bull that is an inferior sire. Other things being equal, the most profitable animal is the one kept every day at the maximum gain consistent with health. It is not the magnitude of one’s business that gives him good results, but the manner in which it is con ducted. If there is one time more than an other when deep plowing is beneficial it is when a growth of clover is be ing turned under. There is no royal road to success, and if a man succeeds he must work out his own task and execute it with a will. Silage Doesn’t Taint Milk. Does silage fed to the dairy cows taint the milk? No, but the odor of the silage, if allowed to get into the milk in open pails, will taint it. Treating Tree Seeds. Tree seeds, pits and nuts for grow ing tree seedlings should be mixed with soil or sand and left exposed to freezing. Avoid Drafts. No drafts in the poultry house at night should be allowed. Ventilation must come some other way. Fruit Growing Revived. ■There is a very noticeable revival in ’he ruit growipg industry of all mid tt’est states. GET THE POULTRY IN WINTER HOUSES Much Depends Upon Pullets Get ting Used to Quarters Be fore Starting Work. 'By MICHAEL K. BOTER.) It is not yet too late to whitewash the interior of the hen houses: to re pair leaky roofs; to patch up the cracks in the walls; to clean up the outside runs; and to give the premises a general overhauling. Are the fowls roosting out on the trees? Get them accustomed to roost ing in the house. Place the pullets in their winter quarters if not already done. Remem ber that much depends upon the pul lets feeling at home before they get down to real work. Pick out what stock is intended to keep over winter, and market the rest. Good culling is the great factor in poultry success. Clean up the incubators and brood ers and test them to see that they are ready and in proper condition for work. If it is intended to run the incuba tors during January for market stock the breeding pens should be made up now. The road dust for baths and the leaves for the scratching sheds should have been gathered last month, but it is not too late to do so. LAMB AND MUTTON DIFFER GREATLY Animal at Eight Weeks Old Brings the Highest Price Ever Attainable. There is as much difference be tween lamb and mutton as there is be tween spring chickens and a three year-old rooster. There is a limited period in the life j of well-fed animals for growth. .Every | factor in the problem of producing ! mutton points to early maturity. It's the eariy lamb that gets the coin. At eight weeks old. if in a condition j and seasonable to meet the very Be- | lect trade, the lamb brings the high est price ever attainable, per pound. A very narrow limit at this time and the tide of prices fades away and it will be necessary to keep him until another time or season that calls for a lamb three to five months old, but at a price considerably less per pound. The Iambs marketed at four months of age do not, as a rule, bring as much i per head as those sold at eight weeks of age. The longer they are kept the lower class of market they satisfy and so on until they are full grown. Specialists Most Successful. A carpenter can build a house morci economically than can a blacksmith, because he knows Jkow and has the right kind of tools to work with. A cow, with good dairy form, for the same reason, can produce more milk than oi.e with a beef form. Let the carpenter and the blacksmith work at their respective trades and adopt the same rule in regard to cows. Let the dairy cow work in the dairy and the beef animal in the feed lot. Special ists are more successful these days than Jscks-of-all-Trades. * % LAND AND WATER NAVIGATION No Trick at All for Missouri Farmer to Reach Home With His Purchase in Boat. "My state,” says a Missouri man, “possesses in the Osage river one of the most crooked streams anywhere. They teH of a farmer living on the banks of the Osage who had a small flatboat, which, one day, he loaded with produce and floated down to mar ket, six miles- away. He exchanged the produce for goods at one of the stores and leaded his goods in the flat boat. “ ‘How are you going to get your stuff home?” asked a bystander. “Got a steamboat to tow you back?” " ‘I'm going to float it back,' was the reply. “ 'How, I'd like to know.’ “ 'I reckon you don't know much about this river. It doubles on itself just below her and runs back within less than a quarter of a mile of my place. I've got a landing on both banks, and a team of horses that can drag the boat from one landing to the other.' ” Words and Deeds. An eminent bishop was advocating a more liberal loosening of the purse strings, and during a sermon one day told his congregation that he at one time sent an article to a paper, in which he said: “We pray too loud and work too little." The intelligent compositor did a most satisfying job and when it ap peared it read: “We bray too loud and work too lit tie ." “1 let it go at that,"' said the bishop. The fact is, I believe the printer was right, and i nev£r ventured to correct him."—National Monthly. Appropriate. “I thought of going to the mas querade ball as an old-time fop."
