Fatten Your Calves.
It requires about one-half as much
grain to produce 100 pounds of gain
on calves aH on two-year-olds. Th3 4
work of the Missouri ; Agricultural col-
lege has definitely demonstrated that , .
the most profitable age to fatten cat- r
tie Is while they are still 'oung. The ,
older the animal the more food Is
required to produce a given gain. Other -
er stations have investigated the quos-
lion and arrived at the same result.
One Cause of Nervousness.
A frequent case of nervousness Is
light-fitting shoes , and this is preva-
.
lent mostly among ladles. The com-
pression ofthe foot Irritates the
nerves and muscles within it : this > '
Irritation extends up the legs : it
reaches the heart : and so It conlin- . ,
ties Its upward journey until it arrives -
rives at the brain , where mischief is
wrought.

British Soldiers Are Vain.

femlnate and unsolc ler1l1cc curls on
