too paunchy. however, is Objectionable
to the butcher. The matter of low
f1anks should be emphasized, as it is
an almost unfailing sign Of good consti-
tuition and good feeding quality. It
should be borne in mind that the
stocker and feeder, thin in flesh and
largely destitute Of external or surface
fat, affords the best possible opportu-

prominence in hips. tail head and shoul-
ders. Avoid rough, open shoulders,
sway backs and large. coarse heads
with small eyes set in the side of the

mild eye denotes that the animal has

know Is so desirable in 4 steer intended
for the feed lot The distance between
eye and horn should be short. and the
horn should be fiat and OF medium fine
ness rather than round and coarse
The lower jaw should be heavily coat
ed with muscle. The muzzle, lips and
mouth should be large, but not coarse.
Good General Quality.
1t is well to distinguish between
what might be called general quality
and handling quality. BY general
quality is meant general refinement of
external conformation as seen In the
head, horn, bone, compactness and
smoothness of outline. General quail
tty Is affected by nothing so much as
by breeding. Good quality is seldom
found in a plainly bred steer, but is
generally characteristic of well bred
animal While 1t is a characteristic
that involves many points and is diff
cult to describe, it is this characteristic
more than any other that we depend
upon as indicating that the animal has
within it the possibility of making a
prime steer.
Desirable Handling Quality.
Good handling quality indicates that
the possessor is a good feeder. It
shows that the animal is in good health
or thrift and capable Of beginning to
gain as soon rs an abundance of food
is supplied. We speak of cattle as pos
sessing good handling quality when the
skin is mellow and loose. A thick,
mossy coat of hair of medium fineness
and a moderately thick skin are deslr-
able.-H. w. Mumford, Illinois Expert

An Unofficial Order,

Thomas, tenth earl of Dundonald, at
bis death vice admiral in the English
navy, tells in his autobiography Of a
Seaman" of an incident on board the
Hind, on which he served as midship-
man. The pet of the ship was parrot,
the aversion of the boatswain, whose
whistle the bird learned to initiate ex-
actly.
zone day a party of ladies paid us u
visit aboard. By the usual means Of n
whip on the yardarm several had
been hoisted ON deck. The chain had
descended for another. Scarcely had
its fair freight been lifted out of the
boat alongside when the parrot piped,
Let gop
"The order was instantly obeyed, and
the unfortunate lady, instead of being
comfortably seated on deck, was soused
in the sea.
Luckily for her, the men were on the
watch and quickly pulled her out, and
luckily for the parrot the boatswain
was on shore, or this unreasonable as
sumption of the boatswain's functions
might have ended tragically for the
bird"

True Generosity,

A charming story of the late queen
Of England, vouched for by Mr.. A. f.
Story, Is told in the Childhood Of
Queen Victoria" 1t is so consistent
with the queens known kindness Of
heart that it speaks for its own truth.
The Princess Victoria had set her
heart on buying a doll she had seen in
a shop window, but her mother, the
Duchess of Kent, would not let her
buy it until her next allowance Of
pocket money was due.
AT last the day came, and the prin-
cess hurried to the shop, paid over the
six bright shillings and got the long
coveted doll.
On coming out of the shop with her
treasure in her arms the princess en-
countered wretchedly miserable
tramp, who plucked up courage enough
to nsk for help. The princess hesitated
q moment; then, realizing that she no
longer had any money left for the man.
she returned to the shopkeeper and gave
him back the doll. He gave her the
6 shillings, promising also to keep the
doll for her for few days.
Then the little lady hurried out of
the shop and thrust the whole of the
money into the hands of the beggar.

A Pitch Lake.

Trinidad. an island in the south At
lantic opposite the mouth Of the ORR
noco, is famous for its pitch. There
are districts where there Is pitch ev-
erywhere. The beach is pitch, and so
are the "rocks," some Of which have
been carried off to supply Paris and
New York with tar pavements. At La
Brea pineapples grow to perfection In
n brown soil which is half pitch. But
the wonder of the isle is the pitch lake
mile and q half In circumference.
AS it lies glittering in the sun it looks
like vast bed of monstrous mush-
rooms, all black and Of all kinds OF
shape and size, some measuring as
much as fifty feet across. The space
between these unlovely objects is filled
with oily water. In parts of the lake
the pitch is quite liquid, and the ground
all round is full of pitch and coaly
stuff to a depth of hundreds of feet.

REMARKABLE LAKE.
A BODY of Water With, N Roof
golfdffed Salt.

A BODY of Water with Roof of
so1fdffied Salt.
A lake with q salt roof isn't frozen
salt, and it isn't underground. On the
contrary, this remarkable lake may be
seen at any time during the year, fully
exposed, being even at its best when
the sun is shining directly upon 1t.
This wonderful body of water is one OF
the safest Of the salt lakes and is sit
uated near Obdorsk, Siberia. The lake
Is nine miles wide and seventeen long
and within the memory of man was
not entirely rooted over by the salt de-
posit Originally evaporation played
the most prominent part in coating the
lake over with salt but at the present
time the salt springs which surround
1t are adding fast to the thickness or
the crust.
In the long ago rapid evaporation OF
the lakes waters left great salt crys-
tails floating on the surface. In course
of time these caled together. Thus the
waters were finally entirely covered
In 1878 the lake found an underground
outlet into the river Obi, which low
cred its surface about three feet. The
salt crust was so thick, however, that
It retained its old level and now pre-
sents the curious spectacle OF sait
rooted lake. The salt coat increases
six inches in thickness every year. The
many islands with which the lake Is
studded are said to act as braces and
to help keep the arched salt crust In

The Lack of Reserve.
"He had no reserve" How often we
hear this expression on change or In
the street when q firm has failed or
when business man has been pushed
to the WALL 1t would make fitting
epitaph for the grave of many fall
ure. man without reserve is like
condemned, leaky vessel. Or a calm
day it can be towed from port TO port,
but it would be utterly helpless In
storm.
Many fail from lack Of reserve OF
education, of carly training. of solid,
ingrained habit Others fail from lack
of reserve OF savings, Of capital. Many
have gone down from the lack Of char
acter reserve, of health reserve, Of
friendship reserve. 1t pays to store up
reserve Of every kind, to be prepared
for every emergency. Too eXhausting
effort, too extravagant expenditure, too
reckless daring or too much reliance
on unknown factors leaves no margin
or reserve, SO that slip would mean
a certain fall.--Success.

Apples Wrapped For Long Keeping.
Indications from experiment at the
New Hampshire experiment station
are that for long keeping of apples
wrapping is of decided advantage.
Light and heavy waxed paper, tissue
paper and newspaper were used for
wrapping, and there was but little diff
ference in their effectiveness, newspa-
per being practically as effective as the
more expensive kinds.

CIDER AND VINEGAR.
To Keep the Former Sweet and
Make the Latter Strong.

To Keep the Former Sweet and
Make the Latter Strong.
To keep cider sweet it should be
made of good apples, as late as possi-
BILE, be carefully strained to remove all
pornace, etc, allowed to settle for
day or two and then barreled and kept
as cool as possible, giving no more
vent than is necessary, says a New
England Homestead writer. AS soon
as the first fermentation is over bung
tightly. Keep cool and expose to the
kept perfectly sweet by scalding and
skimming and bottling and sealing
tightly while hot. The keeping Of cider
with preservatives and antiseptics Is
another matter and directions should
be obtained from the manufacturers.
The conditions for making vinegar OF
cider are the opposite of those for
keeping the cider sweet Heat and ex-
posure to the air are what produce
the change from sour cider to vinegar.
Put the cider into barrels. Those
which have been used for vinegar be-
fore are preferable. Fill them about
two-thirds full and put in warm
place, with a temperature Of so to 30
degrees. Leave out the bung so the
air can get in. A piece OF mosquito
netting can be placed over the bung-
hole. A low shed is q good place in
summer, and near the furnace in win
ter.
Factory and Home Practice.
Very large factories generally use
generators filled with beech shavings,
through which the liquid is allowed to
drip slowly. Good winter apples will
make vinegar strong enough for all
uses If properly treated, but very early
apples usually give thin, watery cider,
which requires mixing with stronger
cider or the addition of sugar or mo-
lasses. For family use good way Is
TO put large barrel containing small
quantity of good, strong cider in
warm place and every week or two add
a small quantity Of sour cider. In this
way a supply Of vinegar can be had all
the time.
