Eix-Boned Steers Not Best.

There was Il time, though 1t was
many years ago, when the big-boned
steer that weighed 1880 to 1000
pounds, was looked for by the buyers
Of beeves. but now the animal that is
sought by the butchers is one that
weighs from 1900 to 1900 pounds.
We have long since found out that
the cheapest meat Is made on young
animals, and the money thus invested
Is soonest ready to be turned over.
Not only is the money tied up longest
in old animals. but the cost of pro-
ducng meat on them is so great that
our best beef feeders are no longer at
tempting to do that The method now
is to keep the animals growing right
along from birth to the period when
they weigh what the market demands.
Steers are now ready for the market
at . years old or under. If all the ami
mails shipped to the stock yards We're
of this kind there would not be much
complaint about poor returns in stock
breeding and beef-making. A good
many farmers are still trying - make
profitable beef on old steers. But the
young steer is the only animal that
gives us any promise Of Il profit.-Ex-

Assuming the Husbands Name.


The custom which makes it proper
for the wife to assume the name of
her husband at marriage is involved
in much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that 1t originat-
cd from Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
of England. Thus, Julia and Octavia,
married to Pompey and Cicero, We're
called by the Romans Julia of POmpey
and Octavia of Cicero, and in later
times the married women of most Eu-
ropean countries signed their names in
the same way, but omitted the of"
In spite of this theory it is fact that
as late as the sixteenth and the be-
ginning Of the seventeenth century Il
Catherine Parr signed her name with
out any change, though she had been
twice married. We also hear of Lady
Jane Grey, not Dudley, and Arabella
Stuart. not Seymour, etc. Some think
that the custom originated with the
Scriptural idea that the husband and
wife are one. This was the rule of
law as far back as 12GS, and 1t was
decided in the case of Bon versus
Smith. in the reign of Elizabeth, that
a woman by marriage loses her for
mer name and legally receives the
name hf her husband

A II, n, Onia in Manure.

Land plaster or gypsum has I'M
doubted value in holding the ammonia
or nitrogen in stable manure, although
some scientists dispute this. Still
kainit is so much better for this pur-
pose than the gypsum that 1t is Won
der any of the latter is used. 1t is
true kainit is more expensive in first
cost, but then it not only holds the am

adds to it desirable plant food which
gypsum does not.
If one must, for any reason, store the
stable manure for some portion Of the

Lesson for Mothers to Heed.

young man condemned to death for
murder, who when given opportunity
to speak from the scaffold. stated that
he had been brought to his present
condition by the ideas instilled into
him by an overindulgent mother. who
had ever taken bis part. whether he
had been in the right or wrong. and so
had trained him to indulge his own
will and disregard the rights of others.

Through childhood the mothers loving

position that his wrong actions were

was in the right or wrong. she uncon-
sciously trained him to disregard the
rights OF others and prepared him for
his fall. Coming to Chicago. this
young man secured position of trust.

in the night he WAS apparently as

now blames the boys friends. whom
she accuses of being the cause OF her
sons downfall, not realizing that the
fault lies in her sons character and,
primarily in herself. in training her
son to disregard the rights of others.
Many loving mothers are uncon-

General Farm Notes.


Be systematic in the training of
young horses.
Sheep to thrive well require frequent
change of food.
Marketing the products in the best
possible condition is where the profits
are made.
A yard or lawn always looks barren
without some choice ornamental trees
or shrubs.
The wisest course is to convert
cheap grain into meat before shipping
1t to market.
A furrow plowed through wet
place in the wheat field will often save
an acre Of wheat
In planting out an orchard tbs fall
do not plant out more than can be ma.
nured and cared for.
The dairy cow should always be fed
either ground or soft feed and never
be given whole grains.
A sheep adapted to every section and
to every breeders surroundings cannot
be grown in the same animal.
The best method Of improving the
soil is not to pillow too great proper.
ton nor pasture too closely.
The horse that contracts bad habits
readily is generally one that can be
taught the most useful traits with the
least trouble.

Poultry Notes,

A good egg will sink in water,
Sitting hens should not be fed while
on the nest.
Growing chicks should be protected
from the sun.
The nest must occasionally be re-
newed and kept clean.
Road dust. with fine sifted ashes,
makes good dust bath.
Cleanliness and vigilance are .hc
best preventives of disease.
Poultry in orchards destroy insects
and keep the trees in good condition.
Water is as important as food and
should be supplied clean and fresh.
Gravel should always be supplied to
fowls being fattened In confinement.
Lime is purifier and should he
used often as Il wash to coops, perches
and nest boxes.
Equal parts Of skinned milk and
water warmed will remove fly specks
from vanished wood work or furni
ture.
There is no economy in buying poo,
or musty grain. Aside from the fact
that it lacks nutriment, it is often the
cause of sickness, especially anon,
the young stock. Better pay a goot
price and get good sound grain. 1t /.
cheaper in the end

For the genuine invalid ! have sim
cere sympathy, for the imitation one,

and needs scant sympathy.
A woman takes it into her head that
she is nervous, that she can't do GER

months they have an established in
