A BEEF RING.

4 beef ring is union of farmers for
the purpose of supplying themselves
with fresh meat each week at low
cost. The ring usually has sixteen
members. who supply the animals IN
regular order. one each week y meet

zation is effected, the order OF furnish
ing the animals decided by lot and
butcher and secretary appointed. The
butcher (who need not be profession

services. Each member in turn brings
in his animal, q young and fat one

The butcher provides a suitable place
for killing, furnished with hook for
each member. He kills the animal in

its respective hook before 6 4. n. and
gives hide, head, heart and fat to the
owner of the animal. He keeps an ac-
curate account Of the weight OF each
animal and OF the quantity that each
member receives per week. Members
come for their shares the morning aft
er It is killed, and each receives boil
ing piece, q roast and piece OF steak
each week and receives the different
cuts in rotation-that is, No. 1 cut goes
to No. / man the first week, to No.
man the second week, to No. 3 man
the third week, etc.
The secretary acts as yaluator In
case an animal is thought by the
butcher TO be below standard quality.
At the close Of the season he takes
from the butchers account the guam
tity received by each member and pre-
sents statements of this and of the
weight Of the animal furnished and the
price per pound of all. If AS animal
weighed 400 pounds and he during the
season received 425 pounds, he must
pay for the twenty-five pounds receiY-
ed at the rate of @ cents per pound If
all the beef has been up to the stand

decided to be worth only cents per
pound and all the others are up TO the
standard, he is charged cents for all
meat received, except the cuts he re-
ceiyed of his own animal. which will
be charged TO him at 9 cents, and all
the other members will be charged
at the rate Of cents for BIS beef.
II q member receives less than the
weight OF the animal furnished he
shall be paid for the amount he Is de-
ficient at the rate at which his animal
was valued. The foregoing is the way

GIRL AND WOMAN.
Care Needed at the Transition From

Many Life Spent In Suffering Because

Every mother Of a growing girl should
remember that there will come time
when her daubhter will be girl no long
er but will share with her the blessings Of
womanhoOd. Unless nourishment keeps
pace with growth the foundations Of
ufe of suffering are laid at that time.
Chlorosis commonly called green sickness,
may develop unless the blood is kept rich
and pure; incipient consumption and nerv-
Gus and constitutional troubles that have
been dormant in the blood, will surely
appear unless the system Is kept toned up
until the danger line is passed. Mrs.
John MacKinney Of No. Ats Thirteenth
street, Detroit, Mich, writes a timely
word on the subject. She says:
Il did not get proper care at the first
critical time in my life and for seventeen
years I suffered as a result. had dizzy
spells, felt a constant fear that something
dreadful was about to happen, and was
afraid to go out alone. My breathing was
very short and I had palpitation Of the
| heart SO badly that ] could not go upstairs
| or walk even moderately fast. I was SO
nervous that could not sit still. At diff
ferent times for years was under the
care of the best physicians in Detroit and
tried a number Of advertised medicines.

going into consumption and, upon my ad-
