HOW CATTLE MULTIPLY.
There Is No Business as Profitable az
the Systematic Raising
of Good Stock,

There is money in raising cattle and
no one who has ever kept them and
cared for them in business way has
ever made a statement to the con-
trary, says the Texas Stockman and
Farmer. A young man cannot invest
$50 in a safer or more certain business
than to buy a good cow and take care
of her progeny for period of five or
ten years. In ten years $50 at ten per
cent. will double itself, but where can
a young man loan $50 at such rate of
interest? Anyway at the end of ten
years he will only have $500 for his in
vestment. If he will invest $50 in one
good prolific cow and take care of her
and her offspring for ten years, his
$50 will not only double but create
more than 1000 per cent. of the first
principle. AS an example of what can
be done in this line case is given by
the Hoxie Sentinel.
"Ten years ago. says the Sentinel,
"John Sims presented his two sons,
Willis and Robert, with a COW each and
put them in Willis Johnson's herd to
pasture, instructing Mr.. johnson to
sell or trade the steer calves for heif-
ers and also sell enough of the increase
to pay the herd bills, which he has
done. Mr.. Sims and family returned
home from Colorado, where they had
been seven years, and the boys found
that each had nice little herd of cat
tie. One had rather bad luck, however,
and only found IL, while the other
found that he was the possessor of 2s,
making total of IS for the two COWS,
after deducting all loss and expenses"
II the young men in question had
worked and cared for their respective
stock and with the proceeds of ma
tured animals added more breeding
animals to their herds, it is plain that
the above figures could easily have
been doubled

KEEPING EGGS FRESH.
a Simple Method Which Has Given
q satisfaction to Many Who i75s#5}
. Have Tested 1t. 40 *

With fairly cool cellar, there il no
trouble in keeping eggs for two or
three months, if they are turned so
that the yolks do not settle. If those
who have chickens, and are afraid of
not getting eggs in winter, will try
this plan, they will with little doubt
be satisfied.
AS early as September begin to fill
cases to keep for month or two at
least. When full, keep in cellar, turn
ing the boxes upside down every day
or two. If the number laid is small,
boxes that will hold six, twelve or fif-
teen dozen should be made or bought,
as the. eggs should not be left unturned
many days, and it is very awkward to
turn them when the case is not full.
The boxes should be numbered and
dated. When eggs are to be sold or
used, take the oldest, but use them
while they are perfectly good. August
eggs could be sold in Sept ember or Oc-
tober, those packed in September could
follow, and so on. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, the gain in holding from
one to two months will generally be
IS per cent
If the supply is for family use, mako
boxes large enough for one section of
regular paper ''fillers." These hold
three dozen eggs, and your box may be
two, three, four or five layers deep.
Boxes of that size are easily handled,
and will be convenient for marketing
if there are more eggs than you need.
At my own home we followed this
plan last winter, and of over 40 dozen,
not one egg was spoiled, though in a
very few the yolk had settled. The eff
feet of such alienation is virtually ia

into rs or 3o-cent eggs of December
1t is great satisfaction to have eggs
that you know are good, and if you
happen to have too many there is nc
trouble in selling them at good price
and at time when generally the de.
mands for cash are quite numerous

MISS ABBY ALDRICH.
Young John d. Rockefeller's Bride to
Be II Well Known in Educa-
tional Circles,

Miss Abby G. Aldrich's engagement
to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is univer-
sally talked about, although Miss AL
drich has not a wide circle of acquaint-
ances at the capital. Senator A!drich
has been in the upper house of con-
gress for 20 years, but his family has
resided in Washington less than six
months during this entire period. Mrs.
Aldrich and her daughters have attend
ed several Inauguration ceremonies,
but they did not tarry after the festivi-
ties. s.. U.s., 49,,
Miss Abby has the reputation Of be-
ing bookish and of making profound
study of all the intricate questions
connected with higher education. Sew
eral eminent educators of Washington
assert that while Miss Aldrich's love
affair with Mr.. Rockefeller may date
only from July of this year, her inter-
est in his plans antedates this by sew
eral years. Some time ago there was a
movement inaugurated to affiliate the
Columbian university with that of Chi
cago.
Both institutions. are under Baptist
patronage, and some of the trustees
believed that the connection would be
mutually beneficial. Miss: Abby AL
drich heard Of this and visited Column
bian during one of her brief visits to
Washington. Her questions showed q
deep knowledge of the problems at is
sue and convinced the authorities that
she would be a strong champion of
their cause. These same professors ex-
press the belief that young Mr.. Rookie
Teller has shown the same wisdom in
the selection of wife as marked his
business career. Miss Aldrich, they
say, is not only entirely fitted to take
her place with grace and dignity as the
wife of one of the richest men in the
world. but she is eminently capable of
assisting the large philanthropic
schemes in which the elder and the
younger Rockefeller are engaged.
Miss Lucy and Miss Abby Aldrich,
the only children of the Rhode Island
statesman, will inherit large fortunes,
but they are far from among the rich
est heiresses in the senatorial set;
There are several charming youngl
whose papas can write checks:

Busy BarOmetric Bees.

Generally the bee stays at homo

is simply dark and cloudy these busy
workers do not leave their dwellings
all at once. A few go out first, as
though the queen had sent out mes
sengers to study the state of the at
mosphere. The greater number re-
main on observation until the clouds
begin to dissipate, and it is only then
that the battalions entire rush out
in, search of their nectar. A bee never
gets out in a fog, because it is we'll
aware that dampness and cold are two
fearsome redoubtable enemies. We
do not mean, however, that the bee is
a meteorologist in the absolute sense

never being taken unawares, for it
possesses untiring vigilance. Often
one may observe the sudden entrance
of bees into the hive when dense
cloud hides the sun and even though
the rain is not in evidence.-Los An.

YOunS: Chicks Need Crit

When the chick begins to live it ha 5
a good supply of food from the yolz
of the egg. This lasts for two or three
days. During this time the grit is
not needed. But as soon as the first
hard grain is eaten, which is often the
third day from birth, the grit is neces-
sary. Nature does not supply this.
The chick must find it or it must be
supplied. This may explain the suc-
cess in feeding soft feed to chicks un-
der artificial conditions. Too often
the chicks have no way of getting grit,
and the soft food makes it possible
for the work of digestion to go on.
But if the grit is supplied in abun-
dance there is little doubt that the
gizzard of the young chick is able to
handle hard food from the first

Improving Marshy Land.

When a piece of marshy land has
been drained it is often found that
crops fail to thrive, although it seems
to be very rich in nitrogen. The rem
edy is to add barnyard manure. The
semi-aquatic vegetation which for
merly occupied the land decays SO
slowly that cultivated crops cannot
get nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added it
sets up a fermentation which con-
verts the nitrogen bearing materials
into 3 more soluble and hence avail
able form. Director G. b. Thorne,

VERMIN-PROOF DOOR.

IS inches or higher from the floor and
make it one foot square; this will be
large enough for poultry to pass
through. To close over the opening at
night and in very cold weather a
small sliding door is used to shove
across opening. I find this to be
preferable to a hinged door, as the
wind has no effect on it. A small plat
form, eight by eight inches, is placed
just below the opening, on both sides,
for poultry to step upon when pass
ing in and out of coop. This arrange
ment is also very handy for letting
fowls pass between scratching shed
and coop. At least we have found this
method preferable to leaving the door
open. The sliding door should fit very
tightly over opening to exclude all
