seed Of mangels and sugar beets pro-
duced greater yield than similar

as having given better yields of sugar

Worlds Fair Dairy Barns.


The four dairy barns at the Worlds
Fair, st. Louis will be completed SO
that the cows may be brought to the
exposition grounds before the first Of
the year. Their location is at the north
end of the live stock site and just west
Of the proposed live stock farm or
main amphitheater. The barns will be
uniform octagons, 100 feet in diameter.
Each will have thirty-eight stalls ar
ranged In semi-circle. with a rear
promenade twelve feet wide to accom-.
modate visitors. Eight box stalls 8 by
II will be provided for the cows at
calving time. and two box stalls will
furnish quarters for bulls. The second
floor will have four feed bins, each
holding about 500 bushels Of ground
feed. Sleeping quarters for the men In
charge of the cows are also provided.
The arrangement Of the barns permits
full inspection Of the stock by visitors
and of the care of the cows to the best
possible advantage. Chief Coburn and
Secretary Mills express themselves as
well pleased with the plans.

Yellow Butter without Dye.
To make butter with natural yell
low color during the winter months Ia
almost lost art in this age of frauds
and shams. While farmers and dairy
men denounce oleomargarine as fraud
and want law to prevent 1t from
being colored yellow. they do not sell
their own butter with its natural color.
but use few drops of butter color to
give 1t an attractive tint. l supply a
few private customers with butter, and
while l do not claim that my butter Is
as dark yellow in the winter as In
the months when the cows are on pas
ture, yet 1t always has color enough
to look we'll without adding artificial
colOring to the cream. To make yellow
butter in the winter without artificial
aid requires extra care in making the
butter in feeding the cows and select
ing the cows Some cows will make
darker tinted butter than others. The
Jersey cows are perhaps the best for
making yellow butter in the winter and
firm butter during the hot summer
months. If butter color was not used
this fact would add to the value Of
Jersey cows.
In feeding to make yellow butter
think there Is nothing better than car
rots. With a good supply Of these
roots, together with plenty Of clover
hay and good corn and bran. with the
right care in handling the cream, 1t is
possible to produce fine butter in cold
weather. generally have some blue
grass left In the woods pasture in the
fall. and the cattle can get bite when
there Is no snow on the ground In the

Meat and the Egg Yield.
When feeding meat to hens do not

with nitrogen or albumen and not fat.

starch they require and in cheap

beef. such as the neck, are better for
fowls than the choicest fat and lean
steaks. Meat is expensive when eggs
are low, but nevertheless gives profit,
though small. In winter, however. 1t
is cheap feeding. considering its value

own, and never loses it. The locket is a case in point. For years the wearing of locketS has been in fashion and has grown steadily in favor till to-day lockets are more generally V orn than at any time in the past. To be sure there is a partial explanation for this, the reason that the locket serves a two-fold purpose-gives to a woman's dress final grace, and symbolizes an intimate sentiment as we'll. Besides, just now, there is another reason for their .popularity-their extraordinary beauty. The richness of design in the locket of to-day is little short of mar velous-it makes comparison with the exquisite, cunninglY wrought examples of the old time goldsmithS most favor able indeed. MT Riddiford believes that in every department his stock this year is more attractive, more in- teresting and more comprehensive than ever before-and that is saying a good deal.

New York, Nov. 26.-Iowa and Indi-
ana farmers have sent offers Of mar

Young. Their letters reached her in
the Tombs today. Her father, after
visiting her in her cell, told Of these
marriage proposals. "The first Offer"
said Mr.. Patterson, came from a far
mer in Indiana. He wrote that he
owned two good farms, that he always
had a weakness for theatrical women
and that he had fallen in love with my
daughter after seeing her picture in a
weekly paper.
"The second offer Of marriage was
from a rustic in Iowa. This farmer
signed himself Thompson and wrote:
eff you are willing to marry me |
will do my best to make you happy. I
own a big farm. which for the past few
years has proved to be very prosper

home. I confess there is little amuse-

money to spend, and perhaps the OPP
portunity given here for you to live

I say. I love you and want you to

from the late residence at 2 o'clock p

The announcement Of the death Of
the young woman is a. surprise to
many friends. 1t was known that she
has been quite i'll during the past four
weeks, but her Illness was not thought
to be Of a serious character until com
p~aratively a short time ago, when she
was worse and an operation was
necessary. She grew better then and
seemed stronger and her many friends
hoped for recovery and were encour-
aged in that hope. But the conditions
changed, and the young life, worn by
the previous illness, could not longer
combat the trouble, and passed out.
She was the wife Of Clyde l.. Carr, of
the Burlington railway office of this
city, and a sister of Mrs. George New
brand and Mrs. John Griffith, and
James, William and Ben Bosley. The
sympathy of many friends rests with
the husband and family in their be.
reavement and sorrow.
