Varied Ratlons.

The stock raiser and feeder must
not only know the kind OF beef the
market demands, but must know how
to feed to get desired results; he must
also know the combination Of foods
that will produce these results and at
minimum cost.
The basic fact Is that the feeding
must be varied. not so much to de-
velop and pet the appetite. as to meet
the needs Of the animal system. II
corn Is fed 10 excess. stock will cease
TO eat with relish. because only part
OF the system Is being normally nOur-
ished, but II with this carbonactous
food a heterogeneous one Is fed. and
also foods are furnished that will sup
ply the mineral substances needed by
the animal. the varied food is fur.
nished that VIII give good results and
keep the animal in health and appetite.
This ration question Is one that
scould be inteliigently considered by
ihe intelligent calf raiser. IL was but
q few years ago deemed that such
knowledge was only needed by the
feeder finishing cattle for market. but
the well informed cattleman knows to-
day that bone and muscle TO give the
large frame are developed In the calf
while maturing. and he feeds foods
that will make bone and muscle.
These facts being true. the farmer
that ignores them must be the loser.
This varied ration problem should be
given critical attention. and not be
treated as a fad. Raise a calf or two
on what are regarded az established
feeding laws. and see II the calf
doesn't show the intelligence Of its
owner. The proof Of the pudding ls In
the eating. 80 give "bossie" a balanced
ration pudding and he will tell the
story Rural World.

Watch the Chicks Closely,

Watch the little chicks closely. and
note the first symptoms of any dlsor-
ders.
a continual chirping denotes trouble
Of some kind while that contented lit
tie peep, which we have all learned so
well. denotes A healthy state, that
foretells rapid growth.
Perhaps it is lice, and If SO. there is
DO surer road to failure-unless they
are at once cleaned out.
Catch the hen and dIst her with in
sect powder. and If possible, treat each
chick similarly, but If this is not pos
sible, then grease the hen slightly un-
der wings, tail and on top of head.
This will kill every louse and egg.
If the fault lies in the feeding,
change the diet at once, and note each
change as made.
We can never hope for success with
chicks that were started wrong. and
little extra cost az first will be Offset
by greater gains in the future.-Home

The Right WAY To Iron shirts.

For ironing. fold the shirt straight
down the middle OF the back. and iron
the body smooth, taking care TO move
the iron mainly straight with the
warp. Next fold a sleeve Hat along
the sloped seam. and iron IL upon both
sides. Iron first through the middle.
then take hold of the wristband or
shoulder with the left hand and hold
taut till the iron goes quite to the join.
Open the wristband, lay II fiat, and
iron hard upon the wrong side, then
turn upon the right side. Next iron
yoke and neckband. Then comes the
tug OF war-ironing the bosom.
First fasten the neckband properly.
next slip the bosom board inside the
upon 1t, pressing IL out simultaneously
with both hands. With a thin clean
cloth wet the whole linen surface
lightly with weak raw starch. Rub T.
in well, and II any place feels sticky
wipe it off with cloth dipped in tepid
water. Have the iron hot enough TO
yellow dry cloth II left To stand on il
ten seconds. Begin at the bottom OF
the bosom and iron straight toward
the neck. up the middle, holding the
neckband in the left hand and pulling
hard against the iron. Here as much
depends on the left hand as the right
the knack lies mainly in knowing
how TO pull properly.
If the bosom wrinkles or forms one
OF the warps known TO laundresses as
"cat.faces." wet the place with clear
water, stretch 1t smooth. and iron over
again. Rub the iron over the white
wax. also in the salt tray, 10 insure
perfectly smooth surface. II the
starch is right-properly made and ap-
plied-it will not stick 10 the face. But
IL yellowy crust forms upon the iron
tip scratch il off with a blunt knife
and be sure 10 wax and salt-polsh the
iron again before settling 1t on the
shirt.
When the whole bosom is smooth
and nearly dry, take one of the pol
ishing irons not quite so hot as the
others. rub the face OF IL with either
polishing wax or white soap and press
the bosom hard all over. bearing hard
est upon the rounded iron point. Iron
and polish cuffs on a flannel-covered
board. Wet them also with raw
starch. or more properly starch water,
press first upon the wrong side with n
very hot iron, and turn upon the right
side only when nearly dry.-New York
