At the comfortable remoteness OF 100
years II is the humorous side Of the
affair that appeals to the average Eng
lishman, and II Is this phase that will
be celebrated IN the centenary. That
he is able to take such facetous view
Is not due TO the proyerbial slowness Of
the British mind In seeing the point
OF joke, but rather to the perfect
good feeling now existing between
France and England, which makes II
possible for them to pass off as pleas
antry the frenzled efforts made by both
countries hundred years ago. The
situation VAS not without It's humors

BIG NOSES IN FAVOR,

In Japan the nose Is the only feature
which attracts attention. The nose de-
termines the beauty or ugliness Of the
face, according as 1t is big or small.
This is probably due to the fact that
difference In noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Japa-
nese face and another The eyes are
invariably black. the cheekbones high
and the chin recedIng. In Japan lady
who has huge proboscis Is always a
great beauty and a relgning BELLE
There are few large noses among the
natives, and lucky Is he or she upon

and Fed Cattle.
nal.

The vigorous and hearty condition OF
Texas steers make Of them the best
feeders in the world. Many young
vearljDg steers weigh a thousand
mounds after a few months care and
feeding. Profits come from the rapid
gains and the high price per pound.
To secure these rapid gains, two con
ditions must be supplied-well-bred
stock and continuous feed supply. Both
of these are in reach of every land
owner in the southwest.
The southwest has now reached a
stage where the greatest profit per
head is found in farm-fed cattle, The
strong export demand for cotton seed
meal combined with its liberal use
by northern and western stock men,
creates a good price for this once cheap
cattle feed. When combined with farm
feed. cotton seed meal IL still the
cheapest material afforded by the mar
kets Of the world. The farmer who
lives near a cotton seed oil mill can
buy cotton seed meal at several dol
lars per ton less than people OF the
north and west. This same farmer
grows more feed stuff per acre on M
irrigated land than any farmer in the
world. Rich, virgin soils and the long
growing season enable him to accom-
plisn both these things.
Cattle on the western ranges must
be fed milo maize, Kaffir corn, alfalfa
and johnson gress more freely than
heretofore. The wide-awake farmer
living in the cattle region will do we'll
to visit the stock yards and select a
few good feeders In which to market
his surplus hay and grain. eyen though
a small bit OF cotton seed meal must
be purchased to go with these home
products. Here is diversified stock
farming yielding double profit. When
good cattle are selected tbs hay fed to
them returns s14 to $40 per ton, If WI

price. III Ia the r~oughness, not the
