K i i f "& LIVE yPDNCK PURE-BRED CATTLE ARE BEST To Be Successful Little Details Must Not Be OverlookedKeep Up Records of Animals. A well-selected breed of pure-bred cattle Is a sourco of much plcnsura as Jwell as proflt, but to bo successful de tails must not bo overlooked. Many breeders nnd beginners nro too care (leas. They keep no accurnto records ,of blrthB, neglect their cattle, fall to keep up tho records, do not take prop er caro of their cnttlo In winter, and are often caught with a lot of surplus and unmerchantnblo bulls on hand nnd .no buyers. Let mo add that tho only way to dlsposo of surplus stock Is by Judicious advertising In Boinc good form and stock paper, says a writer In an exchange. Keep your herd In nlco, healthy con dition, so you will not be ashamed to show your stock to prospcctlvo buyers. Mako a yearly exhibit at a fow leading atato nnd county fairs and present your stock In tho most attrnctlvo form at home, ns well as at tho fairs. In de scribing your 8alo Btock to prospcctlvo A Pure-Bred Hereeford. buyers by mall or otherwlhe, never overestimate the merits of an animal. Make good every statement, and make every buyer a friend. It Is cheaper to retain your old customers than to hunt new ones. There is no better way to restore or keep up the fertility of your soil than by keeping a herd of beef cattle, sav ing and applying tho manure. A lib eral supply of both grain and rough feed should be grown and consumed by the cattle. They should be kept well-bedded in the barns and all straw stacks converted into manure and re turned to the soil. A well-bred animal will not consume as much food as a scrub, and will always sell at a profit, even If Bent to (he butcher. The best Individuals will bring a fair profit to the owner when sold for breeding pur poses. SAVE GRAIN IN FEEDING HOGS Two Troughs Conveniently Arranged That When Corn Is Devoured More Will Follow: Make two troughs six or seven IncheB wldo and two and one-half feet long. Fit'thcBo troughs together so they will cross in the middle, writes J. E. 'Spencer of Mount Pleasant, Tenn., In the Missouri Valley Farmer. Mako a chuto five feet high, largo at the top and six Inches squaro at tho .bottom, Self-Feeder. to fit into tho cross of tho troughs, leaving it thrco inches from tho bot tom of trough. Shell your corn and pour into tho chute. As tho hogs eat the corn in tho trough more will fall down. Tho hogs! feed is clean, and no corn is wasted. Raising Early Lambs. The sole object in raising early lambs 4s to produce a fine animal of good size and flesh and get him to market at the earliest posiblo mo ment To do that requires good feed ing, good care and good management from tbe time he Is born until be 1b sent to market. Watch Unshod Colts. Unshod colts need inspection of the feet occasionally, as they aro likely to crow more on one side than the other, or to dovelop too much toe. A very little rasping will keep tbe feet lav led. Uentle Work for Mare. Gentle work Tor the mare with foal will not harm her, but she should not be worked for a week before foaling. (SSSf'iSJik' HOLD ON TO GOOD BREEDERS Pigs From Large-Bodied. Old Sows Number More and Often Double In Size When Farrowed. (Dy J. W. ING.IIAM.) Sows should be retained for n num ber of years until their places can be Oiled with their equals. It Is well known that the progeny from mnturo parents are superior to those descended from young progeni tors not fully developed. Hoars and sows for breeding should bo kept in a good, thrifty condition but not fnt. Tho writer has atways-hcen trou bled to keep his breeding sows from becoming too fnt nnd consequently farrowing a small number of scrawny Pigs. I ohco took a largo s-ow to fatten for one-half the pork. I did not know sho was with pig nnd fed her nil thn corn meal nnd wheat middlings slid would cat. Imagine my astonishment nnd veni tlon when she had three llttlo dwarfed! pigs not only smaller than pigs usual ly nro when first farrowed, but ema elated. Sows for breeding should not bo al lowed to run with tho fattening hogs fed on corn but kept in a pnsttiro b thomselves nnd given n plentiful sup ply of Blop mado of equal parts ol whent Bhorts, corn meal and wheat brnn. MoBt young bows will breed when threo months old if allowed to run with a boar, but eight or twelve months Is as young as Is Judicious to breed them. Tho pigs from Inrge-bodled, old sows will. ho moro In number nnd frequently doublo tho elzo of pigs from yotuuf ROys when fnrrowed, nnd thta with thq same feed nnd caro ami will frequent ly weigh GO per cent moro at a year old. Not only this, but It stunts or dwarfs tho growth f such young things permanently and they never at tain good size. GOOD FEED-RACK FOR SHEEP Grain Trough Placed Beneath Saves ChalT and Leaves, Most Nourishing Part of Feed. . (By J. W. GOODWIN.) Tho rack is made with a pole for tho bottom rail and a piece of 2x6 inch scantling for the top rail. The crossbars are pieces riven from an old piece of timber. Thcso crossbarB are four feet long and about ono and one-half Inches in Feed Rack for 8heep. diameter, shaved smooth with a drawing-knife. The holes In the top and bottom rails aro mado with an inch-auger. Tho crossbars aro trimmed to fit tho holes and then wedged to hold them Tho bottom rail 1b held In place against tho sldo of the bam by two strips of heavy sheot-lron which has been bent to fit around the pole. Tho top rail is secured by a piece of half-Inch ropo which passes over a pulley located in a hole in tho wall abovo the rack, a weight being at tached to the outside end of rope serving to always keep the rack! against-tho wall. When the hay is put in, the rack is, drawn down, and when filled is pushed back against tho wall, holding tho hay in place closely and kept in place by the weight. The grain trough placed beneath and in front of the rack serves as a receptacle for the chaff and leaves oQ the hay the best and most nourish ing part of tho feed which wouldi otherwiso bo pulled under foot and; lost as food. Good cattlo rcquiro good care and1 feed. rigs should bo grown on pasturo as nearly as possible. Never ralso a colt from a naturally vicious-tempered mare. A couple of sheep in the front yard! aro as good aB a lawn mower. Hog cholera In Kansas is under con trol, at least for the present. Cough affecting young pigs very often is duo to dusty bedding. Never save a sow for a breeder un less sho has a largo number of teats. It is absolutely necessary that the stallion should have plenty of exer cise. Pasture and exercise develop a strong frame that responds quickly to feeding. Tho boar should be an ounstandlngt individual, possessing all the mark ings characteristic of the breed. Some owners of land fn the fas; west claim they can ralso 14 sheep to. the acre on alfalfa and beet pulp. The stable that has plenty of purej air ana is weu nooaea wnu uRBiuna Is most comfortable and healthful. A puro bred ram of tho coarse wool breed crossed with Merino ewes pro duces a good lamb for early fat tenlng. Some farmers do not realize the Im portance of providing plenty of salt for all tbe different animals kept o the farm.

CLING TO BLACKS AND WHITES Combination Always Popular Seems to Show Little Falling Off In Favor. In spite, of the rago for color which threatened our peace of cyo so seri ously in the earlylnys of summer, wo remain very faithful to the time-honored combination of black and whlto. Amongst the most successful of white lace dresses destined to adorn Ascot Is ono mado in tunic stylo with broad hems of black nlnon, n short, rounded, black nlnon coat hanging In sack stylo over this ruched with black ribbon with a whlto plcot edge, and tho wholo Is to bo crowned with a black hat lined beneath with whlto chip with a foreat of black and whlto ostrich feathers waving their fronds over tho crown; a parasol of white laco hemmed with black chiffon will complete tho effect.

Very odd, Indeed, aro some of fhe new tailor-mades, writes a Paris cor respondent. In fact, a fow of them ir resistibly suggest that tho wearer, de spairing of finding any new .ways of being beautiful, la as a last resourco falling back on way, of being ugly. How otherwise eould ono nccount for a coat like an Karly Victorian dress ing Jacket, than which nothing moro shnpelcss has yet been discovered in tho history of cobtume, made of stone colored cloth, and suddenly bursting into an orgy of black and etonc-colorcd zebra strlplngs, Just on n level with tho cuffs, which aro of tho samo ar rangement?

Women who are afflicted with per petual Jacob's ladders in tho tops of their stockings should adopt an' ama teur device that is successful in pre venting such mishaps. Instead of us ing tho steel hooks at tho ends of tho sldo and front elastics substitute quarter-Inch Batin ribbons. Fold a piece In tho middle, sew it thcro to tho elastic itself, leaving the two short ends free. Qn each stocking put two or thrco loops of silk brnld'to match In color and through these tlo tho ribbons. Fold a piece in the middle, sew it thcro to the elastic itself, leaving tho two short ends free. On each stocking put two or three, loops of silk braid to match in color nnd through thcso tlo tho ribbons. There ;will bo no madeira work, as, some ono terms theco tiny holes in tho stockings made by the books, and tho effect of tbo pink or bluo satin ribbon bow is attractive. Picturesque Tunlo Frocks. Despite tho success of taffotas which had such a run during tho spring, it was inevitable that the soft clinging materials should sway for summer, and consequently modos are becoming somewhat simpler. What) constitutes a pannier in the crisper silks becomes merely a folded drapery! In silk linen and chiffon. Tbo favorite fashion of the moment' is the tunic frock, for the tunlo is such a versatile garment that it may be said to merge into the pannier in some of Its simpler forms.

HER EVENING TO BLUNDER Fate Evidently Was Determined to Unkind to Fair Diner Making Conversation. "Can you tell mo," remarked a fair lady of her partner at tho supper table, "who that exceedingly ugly man la? I mean tho one Bitting opposite you?" Tho gentleman smiled sardonically. "Oh, bo's my brother!' enmo tho reply. Tho lady went scarlet, and her con fusion was almost painful. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" sho stuttered, npologlzlng profusely. "You see, I did ,not notice tho rcsotnblnnco between ,you." A moment Inter sho turned to her neighbor on her loft, who happened to bo a woman. "Do you see that handsomo fellow over there, twisting Ills mustache?" sho nuked. "Ilo's boon watching tnc, nnd making eyes at mo all tho evening. Who Is he?" The other womnn turned scornfully and angrily upon her. "Oh, lio's only my hutjband!" canio tho biting reply.
