 At the Minnesota experiment station test was conducted to determine the value of feeding grain to sheep on grass. Two lots of wethers were se- iected and the experiment covered 112 oaYs' The wethers in lot 1 were given grain ration of 1-2 pounds of oats per day in addition to the pasture
 Ihose in lot were given no grain. The sneep given grain gained 60 per cent more than the lambs not given grain ana the extra increase was worth more than the cost of the grain used in nak- ing It. Further than this, those fed grain were In better flesh at the close or the experiment and If marketed at that time would have brought a much better price
 The station concludes from this ex- pertinent that feeding a small supple mentary ration of oats to wethers be. Ins srazed Is profitable for several months. but after that time if Incomes less valuable.

plowing Under Rye or Other Green Crers in February or March.

&1orwinG Under Rye or Other Green
 Crops in February or March.
 A correspondent writes from Hous- ton County to learn whether rye sown in cotton in the fall and plowed under in time for the next cotton crop would sour the land.
 There is no danger that rye plowed under in February or March will sour the land. You need to be careful how ever that the turning under should be completely done so as to kill all of the rye I have known rye poorly turned under and not entirely killed to slight Iy increase the labor of cultivation. It would be much better for the land and for the next crop of cotton if in- stead of rye you would utilize crim- son clover sown about the first of oc- tober and turned under the next March. This improves the land like cowpeas. but iB q far more uncertain crop than rye. and requires that the soil be not acfd. that 1t contain at least a small amount of clay. that inoculation of the

THE OLD STORY OVER AGAIN.

When I was a maid,
Nor of lovers afraid,
My mother cried, Girl, never listen
to men,"
Her lectures were long,
But l thought her quite wrong,
And l said, Mother, whom should ]
listen to, them"
Now, teaching in turn
What I never could learn
1 find, like my mother, my lessons all
vain.
Men ever deceive,
Silly maidens believe,
And still tits the old story over again.
So humbly they WOO.
What can poor maidens do
But keep them alive when they swear
they must die?
All! who can forbear
AS they weep in despair
Their crocodile tears in compassion to
dry?
Yet welded at last,
When the honeymoons past
The lovers forsake us, the husbands
remain.
Our vanity's checked,
And we ne'er can expect
They will tell us the old story over
again.

WOMEN AND MICE.

There came woman's scream, says
a writer in the New York Herald, from
the inner Office. and 1 sprang to my
feet, not prompted to go TO the rescue
of a woman in danger. but really re-
joicing because something had happen
ed to break the apparently intermina-
bic thread of talk that that woman
had been INDUCING in for forty min
utes, while / had been waiting to have
ten words with the proprietor, who
had had to listen to her.
The thread had been broken and the
woman came from the private Office at
a speed that left no room for dignity
with her skirts tightly grasped by her
hands. and a flush of fright in her
face. AS she hurried by me she look
ed back as though she expected a tiger
was following her.
When l entered the room that she
had fled from l saw the proprietor pick
up a diminutive white mouse from the
corner and place MIN in a small wire
cage, which he put under his desk out
of sight. Then, recognizing me, he sat
down and fairly roared with laughter.
What is the matter?" l asked.
did you see her go?" he inquired.
IL should say that l did" l replied.
II had to do it," he continued. Il
thought that she would never go, ana
1 had to do it in self-defensa. 1t was
absolutely necessary to get her mind
off of the matter that she was enter
tanning me with before there was any
hope of relief, and | resorted to my
last expedient, which has never failed
me yet. 1t is my conception and take
great credit to myself for it. l have
the cage so constructed that by touch
of my foot on a lever L can open its
door and set my little tame white
mouse at liberty. When the door
opens he is sure to come out and run
across the floor. You know the effect
OF the sight of mouse on woman
and YOU have Just seen how finely my
scheme works. Great. isn't it?"
He laughed again and L Joined with

plexion. If she worries she grows
haggard. sallow and lined. If she is
lighthearted, the dimples which come
with every laugh keep her cheeks
rounded and smooth and her eyes do
not turn dim from much weeping.
Better to have Mysteries, sharp and
quick attack, once in six weeks than
to weep in small quantities each day.
And that just about sizes up the
temperament of the average success
full actress. Griefs and disappoint-
ments are quickly set aside, pleasures
she remembers and lives over again.
And sine becomes so accustomed to
playing a part that she continues
through the years to play at being
young.
But under all this light-heartedness,
this temperament, popularity dubbed
artistic there lies in the brain of the
up-to-date actress a thick stratum of
common sense. Common sense teaches
her the wisdom of doing just one thing
and doing it well, leaving all else to
others, for whose services she is will
ing to pay Common sense also
teaches her that the day of the old
style player, whose ever defect, physi-
cal and mental could be hidden by
thick makeup and stage fnery, Is
past. The mysterious glamour of the
footlghts is a myth with the modern
theatergoers, who now meet the ac-
tors face to face and are not to be de-
ceived. We are now a horribly blase
and sophisticated race of theatergoers.
And that is why the up-to-date actress
wants to be beautiful off the stage as
well as on.
To reach this standard she pursues
beauty in a well-defined campaign
which would make the social belle sit
up in amazement-and respect. Your
society girl would never sacrifice time
and pleasure as the actress does pure
ly to make herself beautiful.

THE SMALL WAIST.

There are women, says the New
York Sun, who seem never to have
had a waist. The waist line disap-
peared so long ago that no one re-
members it, and not even the woman
herself expects to see it return again.
There are others whose neat waists
constitute a great attraction. The
waist line Is long and its circumfer-
ence is small. Belts seem made to be
worn by these women. And the trim
neatness of their waists is a joy for
ever.
There is nothing that indicates age
like flesh. That there is no necessity
for the disappearance of the waist line
the case of certain women will show.
The Empress Elizabeth of Austria at
the age of 49, looked no more than 26.
And to-day the Queen of England.
though so, does not look a day over
As. Time can be cheated out of fifteen
or twenty years very easily.
1t is very easy to take off a pound
or two, but the trouble with the large
wasted woman is that she waits un-
til she is compelled to take off forty
or fifty pounds. 1t is much the better
way to tackle the matter OF the waist
line as soon as the waist begins to
show too many inches.
The majority Of women, indeed near
ly all women, take up the subject
from the wrong end. They begin by

chance go. Propose Immediately, and
hasten on the wedding. This is ad-
vice based on experience.
The mother of an only daughter can
take pains with her training. She can
teach her thoroughly all the different
things which, had she possessed a num-
Der of daughters, would have been di-
vided among the lot. Consequently, If
you wed such girl. she comes to you
with all the knowledge which has often
to serve a good sized family of girls
Each of the latter knows a certain
amount; the only daughter is thorough
ly trained in everything.
And her temper is so sweet, too, as
rule. You see, there is no opposition
in the home to ruffle it; she has not to
fight and scramble with brothers and
sisters for a share of everything; con-
sequently she is not selfish. Moreover,
her manners are much better than
those of a girl from a home where
there were many brothers and sisters.
The latter type is apt to be a bit of
a tomboy; the only daughter is woman
ly altogether, there is no forwardness
with her.
An only daughter can manage a

to set the days work going, and all
things are done with precision.

over much for company. and in wear
ing apparel she is thrifty. The girl
who is eXtravagant in dress is usually
one from a large family of girls, where
each sister tries, so far as possible, to
outshine the other. The girl with sis
tiers, too, has many companions; some,
perhaps, of doubtful character; the
companions of the only daughter are
generally highly respectable girls. The
father and mother see to 1t that the
daughters friends are we'll behaved.
True enough, it takes a little cour-
age to WOO an only child, and when 1t
comes to asking papa" the matter is
serious: but there is usually no diff
Guilty; the girl herself will attend to
that. She can manage father all right,
and will make a mans way as smooth
as a suitor's well could be.
There is another way of looking at
the matter. You may think it sordid
wav. but there is a deal of the practi-
cal in it. The girl will, in all likeli-
hood, inherit most of her parents goods
and cash. Now, this is something in
these days. You need not deny it: you
would be very pleased to marry a girl
with the certainty of cash coming her
way one day.
But a very important considera ton
where an only daughter is concerned is
the absence of any kind of brothers or
sisters, old or young.
We all know how lovers are tor
mented when there is a crowd of boys
and girls around, but look at the peace
and contentment which reigns when the
counting epidemic is strong within you
and your "object" is an only daughter.

are not all alike, and care should be
taken to discriminate among the many
varieties.
In making love to an old maid, the
preliminaries only are necessary. Give
her a fair start, and she will do the
rest. Remember that she is making
/ up for lost time and hold on tight,
and shut your eyes. AS long as she
has taken the cue, don't fear the re-
suit. You needn't do a thing.
When she is young and innocent,
with frank, open-work countenance
and with no experience, get up early
every morning and watch her door
step. There are others on the same
trail, and if you wish to be an active
member of the club, you must do your
share of the work. If she accepts
flowers and fruit readily, don't get
too gay. This is only your privilege.
And when you feel that you cannot
stand it any longer, tell her so, and
leave the rest to her. She will be your
teacher. You needn't do a thing.
With a widow, be calm and unmoV-
ed IN the face Of danger. You are
in for it, and don't get ratified. Sit
around where you can be reached, and
submit to everything. But remember
that, so far as you are concerned, there
is nothing doing. 1t won't be neces-
Sary.
If she is a tall straight blonde, with
lustrous eyes and a large, open smile,
don't allow your feelings to overcome
you. Do the right thing, and wait.
She will see that you are well taken
care Of.
Or if she is any other kind Of girl,
it doesn't matter. Don't do a thing
yourself. She will do the rest. No
matter how slow you may be, have
no fear of the ultimate result.
But be sure of one thing. Before be-
ginning, get a million or so.

DEAR DEAD WOMEN.

Not the sacred women, who lie In
their shrouds, pillowed upon their gol-
den hair, but the living women, says
Richard LIE Gillens, in the Smart Set,
who once loved us and love us no more
those are the really dead women.
The women whose eyes are closed seem
near and human in comparison with
those horrible women, who, though
really dead, contrive to go on existing
or making a CHASTITY semblance OF
existence-without us. 1t makes one
flesh creep to think of them, ana 10
meet them again is really to have seen
a ghost.
Yesl it is no mere egotism that
prompts the pang with which we think
of some one we have loved as happy
and shining somewhere out there in the
human infinitude-in spite of all That
has been and can never be again.
There is something in the feeling, too,
of a fine impersonal jealousy for the
memory of a beautiful thing. We re-
sent this Oblivion no little, as we re-
sent the forgetfulness of some falr
deed. or the neglect of some noble
name Our love is dead indeed-but
let us not forget how lovely thing
it was in its life; let us think of it
with that reverence due to all beau
tiful history; let us even sometimes
scatter secret violets upon it's grave
the violets of the Past and Gone.
1 think we have too little reverence
for our own histories, too little, in
deed, of that attitude of mind, which
made young Sir Thomas Browne de-
clare his life ga miracle of thirty
years" Busy, maybe, with the emo
tional present, we press on toward the
new raptures, the new faces-forgetful
of all that old treasure of the heart.
It were well, 1 think, to give ourselves
a little time to mediate on that. And
for this it is good, on occasion, to be
all alone-alone, say, in great for
eign city, lonely with million lighted
windows

The woman who wants a small
waist line should always wear a loose
belt. Never should she allow the
slightest pressure along the waist line.
In Vienna, which is the home of
fads as we'll as the home of science,
they are now reducing patients upon
a new kind of diet. The diet varies.
toes, baked to the point of mealiness,
and eaten with plenty of salt, but with
no pepper or butter.
But potatoes fatten me-" the pa
tents say. And to this the doctors
reply: Nonsense" and they go on
with the potato diet.
Potatoes, if we'll baked, baked to the
point of absolute mealiness, and eaten
with salt, make a very good diet for
any person, fat or thin. The trouble
with the potato, and the reason why
it is considered fattening, is the butter
that is eaten with it. Sometimes it
is case of fried potatoes, and the
potatoes are really full of grease. OF
course in this state they add very much
to the weight
But potatoes taken with salt will
never fatten the woman who has am
billions as far as her waist line is con-
cerned.
The woman who wants a nice waist
line can do something toward 1t In
her way of dressing. If she will wear
a loose corset so loose that it can
be pulled down low in front, she will
find that she has acquired the fash
ionable straight front.
Then she can begin to get into shape
by exercising. She should learn, first
to go without the corset at all. But
for a woman who is very stout to dc
without corset is usually one form of
torture, so the beginner will probably
be compelled to take her first exer-
cises in gymnasium corsets. Or she
can make a substitute by pulling half
the bones out of an old pair and lac
ing very loosely.
Let her get for her gymnasium inn
plement a large rubber ball and for
fifteen minutes let her practice with
it, bounding it and catching it, keep
ing constantly on the move until she
has brought every muscle into play.
She should exercise after eating, but
she should wait a full hour after the
meal before doing so.

Drinking before Meals.

From the London Family Doctor.
In the morning the stomach con-
tains a considerable quantity of mu-
Gus, spread over and adherent to it's
walls. If food enters at this time the

fore breakfast passes through in a

nacious mucus; it increases the full

MY LADY.

She walked unnoticed on the street
The casual eye
Sees nothing in her fair or sweet;
The world goes by,
Unconscious that an angels feet
Are passing nigh.
She little has of beauty's wealth;
Truth will allow
Only her priceless youth and health
Her broad. white brow;
Yet grows she on the heart by stealth
1 scarce known how.
She does a thousand kindly things
That no one knows:
A loving woman's heart she brings
To human woes:
And to her face the sunlight clings
Where'er she goes.
And so she walks her quiet ways
With that content
That only comes to sinless days
And innocent.
A life devoid of fame or praise,
Yet nobly spent.

THE SEARCH FOR BEAUTY.

OF all women, says the Philadelphia
Ledger, the world over the up-to-date
actress is the least afraid of the ap-
proach of Father Time, and yet of all
women who work for their living she
has grounds most to dread the marks
which the he leaves on her face. This
is because she has methods of her
own for warding off the old gentle
mans approach and keeping him at a
safe distance. These methods, weapons
or allies, whichever you may choose to
call them, are divided into two classes,
temperamental and material.
Those characteristics generally dep
recated in the actress are the very
qualities which help her most in fight
ing back Time. Her so-called ire
sponsibility, her faculty for making
the best of things and putting the
best foot foremost, her firm belief in
kismet and the hope which springs
eternal in her breast despite disap-
pointments and failures, together with
an enormous capacity for enjoying the
good things of life which do come her
way, are largely responsible for her
remaining youthful in heart and in
appearance.
AS woman thinketh. so is her COM

1t is perhaps only natural, says the
who ATTEND the various fashionable

HIS IMPRESSIVE NAME.

There was once a romantic damsel.
says Judge, whose cup of joy was filled
when she met a man named Horatio
Engelcourt Llanseville de Breux.
What a magnificent name!" she
sighed. "Ah, the grandeur of it! If
he were but mine!"
And so she set her cap for him. In
time he was hers. And the only time
she ever addressed him by his full
name was when she put it on the en-
velopes containing her impassioned let
ters. In the letters and in her daily
speech she called him "Toodles.'
This shows that there is much in a
name until we decide upon more APP
propriate one.
