ing six pounds corn and cob meal,
three pounds oatmeal and three pounds
bran per day, with all the mixed hay
and cat hay, equal parts, that the COWS
will eat. Each animal will probably
consume sixteen to twenty pounds per
day depending upon the individuality
Of the cow and also upon the condi-
ton of the hay. Dat hay if cut while
it is still green and if properly cured
makes an excellent feed for dairy cows.
The oats do not pass through whole
when fed in this manner but are re-
masticated with the hay and nearly
all ground with the teeth, which is not
the case when whole threshed oats are
fed. This saves both the treshing and
grinding bills.
Glover hay is one of the best hays
we have for COWS, because it is rich in
albuminoids, and this is the class of
substances almost invariably lacking
in the dairy rations of the corn belt.
Timothy hay is one of our poorest hays
for cows. | should advise replacing
a pound or two of the corn and cob
meal with gluten meal or oil meal, as
this adds to the variety and also makes
a much better balanced ration-W. j.

HANDY ROPE AND FORK.

Take a rope about four feet long and
fasten to snap at both ends instead of
untying the halter strap. Use this
rope to lead the horses to water. Have
a staple fastened to the tank, and if
your bedding is handy you can bed the
horse while he is drinking. If the
horse is tied properly in the stall their
is no danger of him getting lose or be-
ing tied too long or short as the strap
remains at the manager To prevent
halter straps from being worn by
horses rubbing, bore a hole about two
incres from the edge of the manager,
and another about two inches below
the first, and put strap through the
holes instead of edge of manger. Try
such a rope and you will not do with
out one. For carrying straw, etc, take
a big iron fork and put a short shovel
handle in it. This prevents the fork
from turning in your hands, and you
can carry a big load. Have con-
venient hook to hang it up. You will
save much time in using these two
things.-H. ]. Shrock, in The Epito-

Mourning costumes Of today are less

when a widow who wore a touch of
white within a year of her adoption
of black would have been regarded as
unfit for social recognition. Now it is

chiffon at the throat. even in the
earliest days OF widowhood, and some
times a whole vest of white chiffon is
worn before the close Of the first year.

Mud as a Life Saver.

In London it was noticed that when
the streets were muddy there was a
marked diminution of diseases that
where prevalent when dust is blowing.
Bowel troubles are plentiful when peo-
pie are compelled 10 inhalc dust. Con-
sumption, too, often gets its start
from dust. Other illnesses almost
equally grave follow from the breath-
ing of flying particles of filth. Add
sufficient water to transform the dust
into mud, and the power for harm is
gone, for mud is not inhaled. The
germs that infest dry dust become in
ert in mud, because these germs, vi
cious as they are, are too lazy to go
anywhere unless they are carried.
Moreover, mud is very likely to get Ill
timately into the drain-pipe, and the
germs are carried off where they can
do no harm. Even when mud dries on
the clothing and is brushed off the
dust that arises therefrom does Ut
appear to be as dangerous as thkt
which has not been recently wet. :

A becoming tea gown, in which one
can lounge in luxurious armchairs
after a days sport or touring, is a
most desirable addition to the ward
robe, and an extremely pretty gown
suitable for this purpose is made OF
soft broche silk in pale turquoise blue
and biscuit color, and it is mounted
On a lining Of soft china silk or nuns
yelling. which fits into the figure at
the back, but has no darts in front, so
the fuliness is caught together by
lace belt The yoke, which is trans
parent and extends over the shoulders,
is OF biscuit colored tucked chiffon, with
bands Of ecru guipure lace insertion
in between. and the collar and bands
on the sleeves are Of lace insertion,
with frills Of soft lace edging of the
same becoming tint gathered into
them. From the bottom of the yoke
all around the shoulders hangs frill
of lace, and this is not carried quite
to the centre of the front, but the
ends are gathered and arranged in
waterfall frills, which taper off and
end about 10 inches below the waist
If desired. the yoke could be lined
with pale blue china silk to make it
little firmer, or a lining of cream or
flesh colored silk might be used, if the
contrast with the rest of the gown
were desired without the transparency.
The sleeves have close fitting Innings
of thin silk or nuns yelling to hold
the full Duff in position.

GREAT PRAISE.
For Richmond's Coming Carnival

For Richmond's Coming Carnival
October z-I7th.
The Daily Dispatch, of Richmond,
Va, after looking over the ground
carefully. has the following to say Of
the coming Carnival in that city
October 7-12th:
I'VE intend to give our country
cousins the time of their lives when
they attend our Carnival next October
The plans we have laid to amuse
them-as well as ourselves-are most
elaborate, and IL the occasion proves
a draw, it will greatly astonish hun
dreds who are preparing for the fes-
tivities.
Ito begin with, the Carnival will
take place at the sweetest time OF the
year. and when Virginia-and Rich
mond in particulars at her lowell
est. That week, as the children
would say, we expect to have more
fun than a box Of monkeys
''In addition to the splendid pro-
gramme of amusements which the
various committees have provided,
there likewise will be many instruc-
tive features connected with the Car
nival. The exhibits in the fascinating
booths will show much to attract
practical people, while the electrical
displays, aside from their dazzling
beauty, will prove q revelation to
those good folk who usually pass their
evenings meath the glow OF kerosene
lamps or tallow dips.
''If money can buy attractions.
we'll have everything calculated to
amuse and instruct that week. but
medesty forbids US to detail the at
fractions. Such promises SAVIOR OF
circus-bill literature, which occasion
ally is hyperbolical. whereas our show
unqasstionably will be the greatest
on earth
'.And so, through the megaphone
OF our hospitality, we shout the good
news throughout Virginia and the
Carolinas, and invite one and all TO
join US during Carnival week"

Character is Everything.
As BUSINESS CAPITAL IT IS WORTH MORE
THAN MONEY.

A Young rlan Who Has Character and
Good health, Is Industrious, ..Ener.
getic, Economical, fioaest and Ac.
curate, and Sense Enough to Seize
Hold Of Opportunities: ::As.They Come
to Him, Has . Good working Capital
to Start With, Vet Many Think
Money the Only Requisite to Success
Says an exchange:
We presume that most young men
at 81 years OF age imagine they could
do great things in the world If they
only had enough money. Many think
they can make great success in
business il they can have enough
money to get a start. Now, money
is very necessary thing in running
any business and no business can run
long without some money; but tho
notion that money is the only neces-
sary thing or even that it is the most
important thing, is an error.
Every successful business man
owes his success to certain elements
Of character which would have made
him successful with much or little
money. A young man who is indus
trious. energetic, economical, honest
and accurate and has brains to seize
hold of opportunities as they come to
him, has q character which is q good
working capital OF itself. Such q
young man will make a success even
ii he has to start with small amount
OF money. A mans character, there
fore, is an important part of his capi-
tai. Our young readers may not have
noticed it. but it is a fact that oil
firms take into consideration the
characters OF those they deal with as
being as important as their financial
standing. 1t is so with all business
firms. A certain firm has q reputa-
tion for dealing honorsbly and justly
with every one who has business with
it. Such reputation is worth thous-
ands Of dollars to that firm. 1t is
part of its working capital. A firm
which gets the reputation of being
dishonest or tricky in its dealings is
not likely to last many years.
We want our young friends to re-
member that the character you build
will become part of your capital
and it will eventually make you or
break you in the business world.
Your moral character is Just a, i'm
Portfint part of your business capi-
tai as your financial capital.

boating. Upon this lake can be seen
the pelicans and the graceful swans,
making it altogether apicture OF love-

Beautiful walks aud shady hooks
abound SO that one may hide away
and commune with nature at will.
Besides a number of cottages for
persons who desire to bring their
families and live at home there is q
large hotel situated on hill over
looking the spring with capacity for
accommodating about 100 persons.
The grounds surrounding the hotel
are we'll shaded and perfectly free
from dampness.
The table fare is first class, both In
its selection and preparation.
Its natural advantages and the
enterprise of its managers will make
this in the near future one of the fore
