Posfnr ns q Model.

4 curious feature of models occu- patton Is. her posing for an artist who is painting some one else. Wealthy people are capricious and often do not care to give long slttings. Therefore, after the artist has caught the expres- sion of the face, he will call in a model to pose for the figure. Some models do not care to do this, as part of their enjoyment of their occupation consists in seeing themselves reproduced on canvas, but there are others who are quite willing to help i'll out.
 Various models have various points of excellence. and often a painter will employ at different stages in the prog ress of his work from three to four models for one figure on his canvas. One model is known for her coloring, another for her hands, another for her hair. An artist generally notes In his address book the characteristics of a model after her name. These quota tions are taken at random from an artists address book: "Fine young Jewess," English. tall and slim, blond, costume::" Good back" Good figure, short legs. Ivory tone."-Cosmopolitan

merit In Farm sep.rntorr

The increased value of skimmilk direct from the separator when fed to pigs or calves will In very short time make large payment on the machine. Then, too, the very best butter Is made from cream direct from the separator This was shown at the recent creamery butter makers show at St. Paul. where the first prize butter, scoring 971a points, was made at a creamery where 15 per cent of the cream came from the farm separator. The separator saves work In the house and Is much easier to clean than a lot of sour cans or pans. It requires but little room and does away with han ding a lot of ice to cool the milk. In July and August. when 1t Is almost i'm possible to get good cream or make good butter by gravity methods. the separator works as usual. and by proper handling of the cream as good butter can be made as during cooler weather.

ON THEIR SEA LEGS.
Cattle nnd Horse. Do Not Get Fright

Cattle nnd Horse. Do Not Get Fright
 esed In Rough Weather.
 Do the horses and cattle get fright ened and make much disturbance In rough weatherT' asked the writer of New York dealer who ships cattle abroad.
 Bless you, no. They've got sea legs that would put an old salt to shame. Occasionally horse will lose his bal lance. but n bullock is the greatest bal anccr you ever saw. They are knowing brutes too. You know, we put them four In pen. Well, you'll never find all four standing up or lying down at one time. They figure the thing out and decide how they'll get the most room and most comfort. So two of them stand up while two lie down. When they get tired, they shift the watch.
 "The horses like to be talked to when there's big sea on and things are pretty lively. They always like cer- tain men better than others. So do the cattle. We have one man who can do anything with them. Every bull  by the time we've been out two days. He comes In handy when there's an accident.
 Its mighty seldom that a serious accident happens nowadays, but once in awhile a horse or a bullock doc get thrown and breaks a leg or does some bad damage. We don't carry n veterinary. The men know as much about ordinary cattle and horse ail- ments as any vet, and if one of the brutes breaks his leg there's nothing for it but to kill him. A veterinary couldn't do anything for him.
 "The company charges from S6 to s2o a head for carrying cattle and from s27 to s25o a head for horses. When the government inspectors stop- ped overcrowding. they cut down the carrying capacity of some boats 70 head. That made a pretty big hole in the ships profits in the course of n year."-Exchange.

The dairy barn on the Watson ranch Ave miles west of Kearney, Neb., has number of conveniences, says Prairie Farmer. This ranch comprises 5000 acres, some 5000 acres of valley land and about 3,000 acres of rolling foot hills and table lands. Something more than 2,OO0 acres are at this time in all falfa. This yields such an amount of valuable forage that the ranch seems well suited to dairying. MT. H. D. Watson, the proprietor. availed himself of the natural advantages of hillside sloping to the valley, to erect at comparatively moderate expense a very large bank barn. so constructed as to enable the work of handling forage and live stock to be done by more conyen- lent methods than usually seen In plants of this character. The barn is 06 feet in width, 256 feet In length. which in thls case we might call depth, as 1t reaches back into the side bill. and the main portion of the barn Is 58 feet In height. Back of thls in hill Is sllo 32 feet deep. 62 feet long, with an average width of 90 feet. constructed to contain 1.250 tons of silage. Above and to the south of this Is supply tank CT feet long. 20 feet wide. 13 feet deep. This tank Is supplied by three tubular wells 196 feet deep from which water Is pumped by three strong wind mills.
 This tank, being located on tue high est point, supplies water for watering the stock and for flushing gutters be- hind the lines of cows and flushing the sewers. Liquid manure Is conducted by a sewer down to the level of the val ley. where 1t Is received In an immense tank and can be by gravity conducted over contiguous lands or by water carts to the crops needing 1t.
 The stable Is constructed with view to accommodating $50 head of cows. each COW having her own box stall In which she can stand or lie at ease with out being tied. The stall room Is 12 feet in height, giving the cows better than usual ventilation. Windows 4S0 feet long are on the east, south and west sides of these COW stalls. All these windows are hung on hinges ar ranged to be opened by turning levers from two inches to their full capacity, thus securing circulation of cross cur rents of air. The windows will be screened, keeping out flies. There are calf rooms and available box stalls for other purposes, all contrived in such a manner as to enable the smallest possl- ble amount of labor to give the most efficient care.

In the development of the heifer to be a profitable dairy COW n great deal depends on the sort of man that han dles her from calfhood to her second milking year. She must start with good dairy ancestry. That is the founda- ton. but not the superstructure. We have reason to believe that a large pro- portion of poor COWS could have been made good ones if they had fallen into the hands of men who knew how to develop them rightly. Here are the ways: CD Prevent the growth of fat and the development of beefy tend encies: @ use constant gentleness and frequently handle the udder; (3) breed at 15 months so as to start the develop ment of the maternal functions while the body Is easily nodded; (4) feed lib- orally of milk producing food so as to develop the growth of the udder all that is possible.-Address by w. D. Hoard.
 Feeding Grain With soilinr Crops.
 In considering the subject of feeding green forage crops to cows, J. R. Lind say of the Massachusetts experiment. station says that some dry feed should be given in addition. From five to ten pounds hay per day and two to five quarts grain, In connection with 50 to GO pounds green forage, will give the best results in milk production. If more clover than this Is fed, 1t will have a tendency to cause bloating, while excessive feeding of mlllet acts injuriously on the kidneys. Suitable grain rations are made up as follows:
 No. 1, three to four quarts gluten feed daily; No. 2, 100 pounds gluten meal. POO pounds fine mlddlinGs, 125 pounds wheat bran; No. 3, 150 pounds gluten feed, 175 pounds wheat bran; No. 4, 100 pounds fine middlings, 15o pounds dried brewers grains or malt sprouts. Of these, use four to five quarts daily, ex- cept with clover, when one-third less will answer.
 skimmiik Calves.
 At the Nebraska experiment station they took calves from three cows, fresh May 15. June 5 and July s, 1899, and brought them up on skimmilk or sepa- rator milk, making butter from the cream. In 2S weeks they made nearly 492h pounds of butter. Three other calves, dropped May %, May 20 and June 18, were allowed to run with the dams. On July If, 1900, the three hay ing the whole milk weighed an aver nge of 79S pounds and the three on skimmilk 792 pounds. All were fed alike after weaning, but with whole milk valued at s1 per hundredwcight aud skmmilk at 15 cents per hundred weight 1t had cost S50.27 more to raise those on the whole milk than 1t did those on skimmilk, or S10.76 each, not reckoning anything for the extra cost of labor In the hand feeding and butter making. The cost of growing a calf to months old on skimmilk was es- timated at about So for food, but by their weight as yearlings 1t will be seen that they were liberally fed.
