BIS MASQUERADE BALL.
. Valentines Day Fittingly Observed
 at Elks' Hall Last Evening.

The Eiks' hall was packed almost to suffocation last night, the occasion be- Ng the masquerade ball given by B company, N. G. A. Not only was the floor occupied by dancers, but every available seat was filled by interested auditors who came to watch the antics of the comedy element, the stately bearing of queens, lords, dukes and princesses, and the silent tread of Monks and Sisters of Mercy.
 In the Newport, the entrancing waltz and the favorite lancers, these lookers-on gazed with curiosity upon Buffalo Bill and Miss, Mary, the bash full Chinese maiden, whose male cousin, less attractive perhaps, min gled with the happy throng
 To the pair of tramps, the Moorish lady, the hunter and huntress, the young man who remembered the con- tinentals in his selection, the Spanish don with his tall sombrero, the son of the forest, and last, though not least, the gentleman in ecclesiastical attire who was discreetly mentioned as a commercial drummer with an Irish name. Some said it was Johnny Quinn, but this certainly was an error. To those mentioned the greatest credit of originality in makeup is due though there were several
 The evident desire was to get all the fun out of it that was possible and this was most assuredly manifest Masquerades are conceived with that idea paramount above all other con-

COW FOOD ECONOMICS.

Cheap foods do not give the farmer any advantage unless such foods can be produced on the farm at a small outlay for labor. When foods are pur- chased, however, the cheapest kinds are those that give the most product Ten quarts of milk can be produced for almost the same cost as five quarts under the same conditions, because the labor required in caring for the animal is the same when only a quart of milk is derived as for ten quarts. Every additional quart gained is al- most clear profit, and for that reason the object during all seasons of the year should be to so feed the COWS as to keep them at the maximum of pro- duction, never overlooking the fact that there is always a cost to meet, and which is reduced approximately to the production. It is cheaper to spend S2 to make S10 than to spend $1 to make S5

CATTLE FEEDING METHODS.

For twenty years or more have been in the cattle business. l raise part of my natives, and buy some westerners. If it was not for buying, a small feeder would be at no disad- vantage. It is here that his lack of experience works him harm. 1 take my calves from the COWS as soon as the milk is fit for other use; feed them fresh milk, adding oil meal to it after one month and corn meal after three months and keep them growing. As between feed and blood, I give my best attention to the feed. My steers started in this way prove superior in early maturity to those bought, and the calves do as well as if they ran with the COWS, while the cows do much better. Heifers started in this way will produce calves every twelve months, milk ten months, keep fat and grow rapidly. After starting calves as stated, grain them as early and as much as they will take. Twelve hundred pounds are more cheaply made from one animal at two years than from two at two years. June or July, at two years old, is the best time for marketing such cattle, and I find that steers and heifers of this age can be fattened and kept together with no real difference in results. He is no farmer who raises less than ten calves and does not buy ten more from his shiftless neighbors; may ship in feed CTS in a small car and when fat ship out the same cattle in a thirty-six foot car. Herefords crossed on ShoI tborns make the best beef steers. Of late I have most profitably marketed high ! do dc fxryo 01d Shorthorns at four; fat 1900 pound 1 CTS bring the highest price; so I pre- l fer the Hereford two-year-old. The most profitable western steers are Colorados and those from the Pan handle of Texas. We can feed the | Colorados the first winter, but Pan- handle steers must have a year of grass and roughness before really fit to gain. Three pounds a day is a good gain. To make the best gain, be- gin when corn is just past roasting ears, feeding the corn at first with fod- der, with 1000 pound steers, or heav- l fer if ShOrthOrnS, and finish before sleet and snow, or expect to lose three months time in fattening. Often one is lucky to make cattle hold their own in January and February. I consider good shelter from December until March equal to a saving of twenty to forty per cent of the feed, though it varies with different cattle; western CTS may thrive where high bred cattle will fall off. If fattening cattle with horns, it may pay to tie them, provid- ing they are loosened for daily exer-
 else. My most profitable crops foI
 cattle are sorghum, on poor land; corn, on good. I would advise against pasturing the sorghum in rowen. I dc
 not attempt to raise seed at all my
 self, but SOW thickly. and use the fod-
 der to alternate daily with other for.

 to digest roughness. Alfalfa is wortf three times as much as other hays

HOW TO SELECT A CALF.

An English farmer claims to have made a discovery which is valuable if his claim is we'll founded. AS is we'll known, it is difficult to select the calf at birth for it's future usefulness as milker, yet he asserts that it can be done. He states that on the inner side of the cheeks, near the corner of the mouth, may be observed the palps, which have different forms according to whether the calf will be good, medium or indifferent milker. If the palps are large, broad and fiat they

give a large quantity of milk. If they are only round the milking qualities will be only ordinary. If pointed, the milk yield will be small. The "palp" is not defined, but is probably a DOT tion of the mouth raised above the smooth surface that can be felt or is plainly distinguished.

Memoir.

BARNETT Earth has lost a precious
inhabitant in tho death, by heart trou-
bic, of Anna Caroline Barnett, at Hope,
N. D.. Sept. 13, 1898. She was born in
Ohio, Feb. 25, 1923. and camo to Indiana
in the fall of the same year, and remain.
ed there until recently, when she came
to Hope to visit her son and his family.
She was one of the oldest settlers of
Clinton county.
In 1914 she was married to T. NJ. Ma.
jor, and to them were born three sons
and one daughter, Mr.. Major and two
sons having preceded her to the
Heavenly homo.
She was in 1862 married to John Bar
nett, who died about eight years ago;
since which time she has lived with her
daughter in Frankfort, Indiana.
Mrs. Barnett was converted about Al
years ago and united with the U. P
church and remained faithful member
of the same until it became extinct
Then she united with tho Presbyterian
church, and about eight years ago with
tho Methodist church. She was woman
of thorough conservation and possessed
a steadfast faith in God.
Being familiar with tho Biblo her re.
ligion was religion of intelligence: she
was able to give reason for tho hope
within. She was thoroughly Gods ser
want, in the home, in society, and in the
church. Strong in faith, sincere ir
prayer; she was exemplary in lite, and
triumphant in death.

unless some means of economizing cap

"Frcc Coinage" Demand Mis1eadtnE.
If any advocate of the free coinage OF
silver dollars or copper dollars or iron
dollars at any ratio, sixteen to one, more
or less, will agree to stop there and ask
nothing more, for one am prepared tc
meet him, and in that way to stop the
present contest. Whowoalld want them: =:
Not one of these men will consent to
free coinage on those terms. Not one of
them would be satisfied. Not one Of
them would then get what he is after
under the pretcxt that free coinage and
"cqual rights of gold and silver" are all
that he wants. I challenge anyone to
find an advocate of free coinage a six
teen to one on these simple terms-that
both gold and silver should be treated
alike; that both gold and silver coins
shall be made for anyone who takes the
bullion to the mint to any number that
he wants. challenge any advocate of
free coinage to deny that free coinage,
pure and simple, is not what he de-
mands, and not one of them will dare
to meet this challenge.
This demand for free coinage is a
cover intended to conceal the true pur-
pose of those who ask it. Most of those
who support this measure have been
deceived and mslcd. Let such men put
the question to any owner of silver
mines, to any senator or representative
in congress or to any and every candi-
date on the free coinage platform in
the following terms:
III we grant free or unlimited coin

pose is will answer "Yes" to that ques-
