FARM NOTES

DON'T STINT THE CALvEs.-A cal
IS worth nearly as much as a COW. No
that II will bring as much money, but
at n very small outlay it will be brought
10 COW, and if well fed and cared fol
II will make a good COW. The best OF
all grain foods for a calf is bran, and
although the standard feeding tables
give rye bran a higher value than wheat
bran, the latter is considerably the
better food. Wheat bran contains
more than three per cent of sugar. and
rye bran less than one per cent. Sugar
being wholly digestible and easily
changed into vital heat, wheat bran i
a good food for young animals in the
winter. At the same price per pound
as corn it IS worth twice as much, not
only for its nitrogen, but for the phos-
pilates il contains and which go to make
up bone. This is the reason of its high
value for feeding your stock, colts and
pigs as well as calves. 1t is 4 safe
food. No one ever hurt his animals by
giving them too much bran. 1t has
every element of hay and corn com
bined, but willie it is good food it should
be used judiciously. \ calf six OF
eight months old Will do we'll on two
pounds daily of it, which, costing >
cents, is very cheap feeding. The very
best of the hay should be reserved for
the calves, and with bran it will
cause the young thingsto grow steadily

The Women Of Persia.

The laws of Persia are theocratic. They
are founded on the Koran, and a system hasl
been deduced which, like the common law,
consists Of the opinions Of priests Of especial
sanctity and wisdom. This code is called the
Shahr There is q lesser and secular law
called the Urf, based on oral traditions and
practice, and employed in unimportant cases;
but the Shahr is always the final authority.
The laws relating to marriage and the rela-
tons of the sexes are a marvel of minuteness
The laws of the country appear at first
sight to discriminate against the women.
Divorce, for example, is easy for the man
but difficult for the woman who has a griev-
ance The husband may dismiss his wife by
saying three times: "You are divorced"
Besides the usual form of marriage, which is
presumably for life, there is the temporary
marriage During the period agreed upon,
which must be specified in a written contract,
neither party can be divorced from the other
1t is not uncommon for ladies Of social posi-
ton to prefer this form as, by making the
term sufficiently long, they can insure them
selves against divorce and loss of the portion
or jointure advanced by the husband.
Women of great talents are occasionally
found in the anderoons, skilled in music,
poetry and painting, and in the diplomatic
art. According to Persian law, a husband
must divide his time equally among his
wives, but if he has one he prefers she can
generally arrange with the others nv nres.

one who has influence over him, and by

of Persia are conducted in this manner. The

to be serious inconvenience, is, under ex-

make fun Of the animal who never tried to
be funny before. He Is a good subject to
begin on. Last week a Michigan man and a
Georgian were riding along together down
this way, and tall, dramatic hog, known as
the Sara Bernhardt hog, came out Of the
forest like pattern for a side of pork cut out
of paste boards As the papier mache brute
faded out of sight, the Michigan man sat
back and sighed in heartbroken way. Then
in moment he frightened up again as be
saw another just like the one he had lost sight

smile, he said: Colonel, by jimminy, there's

Beware

and you stand in momenuary expectation of
pentlike slide of ....ie15lpple Sara is as mimi
table as IRE her wonderful gowns
In order to walk we'll a woman must be
well. If she has dyspepsia she bends forward
at the waist; if anything ais her chest she
sroops at the shoulders; If she has any of the
thousand and one ills common to womankind
then her back is weak and of course she can't
walk we'll. But all women in perfect health
do not move gracefully.
Those who spend their time lolling about
on sofas and take carriage to 90 block
have limp, fabby muscles, utterly devoid Of
spring They are fat and unwieldy. One
needs to visit the different Turkish bath
establishments to learn how many women are
built after marble models Once in q while
there appears one clean limbed and symmet-
rical, with clear healthy skin, muscled SO
compactly and yet in such dainty curves that
you long to be an artist. Not an ounce of
superfous flesh, her breast as firm as a globe
of alabaster, shoulders that. like the dimpls
in Katisha's elbow, people would come
miles to see. Her eyes are bright, because
she has perfect health, and her lips are red
for the same reason. Her hair is glossy, be-
cause she takes care Of it as she does Of her
body, and if she has not one classic feature
in her face you call her beautiful, and if you
are l woman you envy her with all your
soul.
That woman doesn't have Mysteries and
nervous chills and cold sweats, and all the
other things that make herself and all her
friends miserable. She doesn't entertain her
friends with accounts of her woes, physical
and otherwise. Not she; her presence is like
wine; she is perpetual tonic, and you can
safely wager all you are worth that she
knows how to walk.
1t is safe to assert that when the women Of
America get thoroughly awake to the fact
that physical development is tho greatest
help to physical beauty that can be devised
