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,

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.

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

nearly as possible.
Never ralso a colt from a naturally
vicious-tempered mare.
A couple of sheep in the front yard!

Hog cholera In Kansas is under con

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;

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

remain very faithful to the time-honored
combination of black and whlto.
Amongst the most successful of white

a parasol of white laco hemmed with

RATHER STUPID PARIS FANCY
Zebra Rip Could Only Attract the
Gaze Because of the Extreme
Ugliness.
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

New Stocking Device.
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

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. Moussellne dj
sole and laco take alternative parts In
the latest Paris frocks to the tunics.

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.
