This applies to all kinds of stock.
There never was so good a pros

The haver of the butter depends
on the milk, and the flavor of the milk

turn them out to pasture. They will

a mild laxative.
Beef making or wool growing or

There is no food which will take the

me by a recalcitrant member. In it
full particulars are given as to who
may ion-men, women and children
as young as ten years. The modes of
penance' are described, the regular
form of which is the pricking of the
| flesh over the kidneys by the "picador"
with a piece of flint or glass. These
wounds are also to be self-scourged,
and then it is the duty of the coadiuto
| to wash the wounds with rosemary
water. Other penance that have seen
publicly performed is the tying of large
pieces os the entrana or walking stick
cactus on the bare back and breast,
and rolling over and over on them to
force the cruel spines into the flesh.
A common scourge is made of fence
wire TO which cactuses are fastened,
and self-punishment inflicted with it.
They will occasionally crawl with bare
knees over the large spine-coyered
leaves Of the tuna or pricllly pear,
and, at castor time, the carrying of
heavy crosses is a regularly prescribed
penance. 1t is a common sight to wit
ness several men, each with a frightful-
ly heavy cross over his shoulder, slowly
and painfully plodding towards their
fanatic Calvary. Strong men will stag

heavy, though self-imposed loads. but

brethren and compelled to resume the

One Wore Fleld for women.

To an energetic woman may be given
the credit for originating a new occu-
patton for women She went to one of
the most popular summer hotel pro-
prietors last summer and proposed to
him that for her board and a certain re-
Enumeration She would act as Intro
Queer during the summer When the
plan was explained to him he simply
jumped at it.
The woman, Of course, was well
dressed and accustomed to the usage of
the best society. She was to become
acquainted with the patrons as they
arrived, and then, in an easy. social
way she was to introduce them to each
other, using tact bringing them to-
gether through mutual acquaintancas
and friends, and bringing about in this
way a friendly intercourse among the
patrons
This plan worked so well and its
originator had so many offers from ho-
tel proprietors this summer that she
doubled her price, and is now on the
road to an assured income every sum
ner.

How many women who fondly love
the golden symbol Of their wedding
vow know why they wear it on the
third finger of the left hand? That
particular digit was chosen because it
was believed by the Egyptians to be
directly connected by slender nerve
with the heart itself, and these ancient
worsbipers Of Isis held this finger
sacred to Apollo and the sun, and
therefore gold was the metal chosen
for the ring.
