Pasture for a Steer

Some one asks how many acres are re-
quired to keep a steer? That depends
upon the yield of grass. This varies with
soil and cultivation. The soils of some
localities grow great deal less than the
soils of some others. On rich cultivated
lands, growing tame grasses, two acres
Will keep a steer year easily. One
acre will pasture him and another will
cut enough hay to winter him. Out in
Montana, where only short bunch grass
grows, the estimate is forty acres to the
steer. This looks large, bnt on some of
the sandy ranges, in dry year, even
this would not be enough. 1t is any
thing but an easy life out there, ard
those who have had pluck to grow stock
| there and turn the gleanings of so many
acres In beef for the sustenance of the
| civilized millions of the East, who
might otherwise go hungry or pay un-
reasonable prices for beef are en-
titled to some credit, as well as the hard
dollars which their rude mode of life
brings them. We have named the ex-
tremes between which beef growing is
pursued. The range of acres required
| to keep steer is all the way between,
| according to conditions, and the actual
| cost of keeping the steer will vary ac-
cerding to the amount of work required
to care for him and the money value of
the soil on which he is kept. 1t may
cost more on the plains, or more in the
East, where the soil is more valuable,
depending great deal on the manage
ment. Then the expense of getting the
| steer to market is another item to be
considered. If produced cheap on the
range, it eats up profits to get the steer
to market, if produced at more cost in
the East, he is not far from market, and
the transportation charges are light. So
one thing evens up another, and both
extremes prosper.-Prdcticdl Farmer.

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY,
Colored Clothes.

1t is poor economy to buy anything
simply because it is cheap, and in moth
ing is this truer than in the purchasing
of cheap prints for dresses. 1t does not
pay to make dress of this kind, for if
the colors are good, which, usually, they
are not, the material is thin and will
wear only short while. Good ma
terials will well repay all the labor and
care spent upon it. In purchasing prints
always see that the colors go through on
the wrong side, and, if so, they are gen.
orally good and the colors will wear
well; but if the pattern is all on the
right side, and the wrong side of one
plain color, they should be rejected, for
they will not wear well.
The first washing of prints and cam
brics is always the most important. The
clothes should first be placed in salt and
water to set the colors. Many do not
use the salt until the rinse water, but it
is much better used at first. Let them
lie in the water until ready to wash.
The following way is claimed to be ex-
cellent for setting the colors, although
We have never tried it, having always
used cold water for this purpose wholly.
Dissolve three gills of salt in four quarts
of boiling water, put the clothes in
while the water is hot, and lei remain
in this way will not fade.
Many women when washing colored
clothes use the water in which the white
clothes were last washed, and where the
latter were not much soiled 1t does very
well, but they are much clearer for hay-
ing water for them especially. Use
some good white soap, and in the water
put tablespoonful of household am
monla to pail of water. If the colors
are inclined to run, do not use the am
monia, although it will not harm good
colors. Wash the clothes thoroughly,
wiring, shake out well, and put immedi-
ateiy into the rinse water. Never allow
colored clothes after being wrung from
the suds to lie piled together on table,
or in dish waiting the rinse water; but
if the water is not ready, put them in a
vessel and cover with clear water, into
which put a handful of salt, if it is their
first washing. When rinsed, wiring as
dry as possible, shake out thoroughly,
and put out on the line. Always hang
a dress wrong side out, and use two
lines, fastening the shoulders to one
and the skirt, in two places, to the other
Turn once or twice while drying, so that
all parts may dry equally. Put out on a
clear day, and if it should rain, if the
colors are good, it will not harm them;
but if the colors are poor, take in, and
if near dry, finish drying in the house;
if it is wet take in and put in clear water
until the weather is good.
Never boil colored clothes unless in
the case of ginghams that have become
grimy, and some light colored prints
and cambrics. Most dark colored wash
goods will not bear boiling, if we ex-
cept indigo blues. If borax is dissolved
in the water in which sateens are rinsed,
it will impart the desired stiffening
without the use of starch, which ought
never to be used for these goods.
