George w. Vanderbilt proposes to
take things in his own hands when
he goes back to Biltmore in the au-
tumn. He will personally look after
the management of his estate, which
consists of quarter of million Of
acres OF land and a hundred or more
different departments, including a
dairy, truck garden, etc. When Mr..
Vanderbilt left Biltmore last spring
he was much dissatisfied with the
way things were going. He dismissed
several of the head employees who had
been coming up short in their ac-
counts, and ordered that some changes
be made. Recently Col. McNamee, his
manager, went to Seattle to look after
some of the Vanderbilt affairs there.
1t is understood that Mr.. McNamee
will remain in Seattle and that Mr..
Vanderbilt will look after his own af-
fairs at Biltmore. Mr.. and Mrs. Van.
derbilt are expected soon for the win

Bishop Stevens laughed quietly.

said, "who was extravagantly modest
and humble.

ROOT CROPS FOR COWS

While there is no question about the
value of root crops for cows it must
not be considered that they may con-
stitute any considerable portion of the
ration. That is, because rot crops are
fed several times weekly there ought
not to be any material cutting down
of the grain or roughage ration. The
root crop will assist the milk flow, but
their main value is for regulating the
bowels and furnishing that variety in
the ration which is needed to keep up
the appetite. ..t4
In feeding carrots. mangles and like
roots it is an excellent plan to feed
them by themselves one time and then
when they are given again cut them
into pieces Of proper size, not so small
that the animal is likely to choke, and
sprinkle them with little bran in
which trife of Oil meal has been
mixed. This adds spice, as it were, to
the ration which the cows will ap-
preciate.- indianapolis News. -.

VINO confesses that he was weak en-

true, our fowls had no trouble with
frozen combs after they were cut but
Tor many weeks the birds were
dumpy and failed to lay; besides, we
lost three valuable hens aby the prac-

II we could, not afford to. build our
houses that we could keep. the combs

combs from freezing, even in the cold
