ataxia appeared. .
"How did the ataxia begin?"

and knee joints. This was followed by
a numb feeling in myylegs. At times I
had to drag myself around; my legs

How long were you a sufferer ~
Four years in all. During the last
three years was confined to bed, some
times for a week, again for three or foul

In some sections it is the custom
to wrap tender vines and shrubs in
straw. There is no decided objection
to this if the top is left open SO that
a circulation of air will pass over the
shrub, and if one is sure no mice will
get in near the bottom to gnaw the
tender shoots. Tie plan of laying
over the partially-tender vine and coy
ering it with soil is also adopted IN
some sections, but vine SO tender as
to require this treatment ought not
to be planted.

WINTER DRAPERIES IN LACE AND
:. SCRIM.

In fall the homemakers' fancy turns
not lightly, but earnestly to the sub
ject of window hangings. Nothing
makes for private coziness and COM
fort like appropriate hangings. Es-
pecially are they important In this
day of flats, apartments and closely
built suburban houses.
How to admit light to the room and
yet screen ones self from the curl
GUS gaze of neighbors is always a
problem to the housewife.
The bonnie femme, or straight hang
ing curtain, directly next to the
shades and stopping at the window
ledge, is decidedly the best solution.
This single width, broad curtain,
which reaches from a rod parallel with
the shade roller to the window ledge
only, is always hung inside the win
dow frame.
Although it has long been consid-
cred the house furnishing preroga-
tive of the rich woman, it is a cur
tain which any housewife can make
for herself.
Quite generally this curtain is nm
ished at the bottom in three of four
scallops, and the center of the lower
half in generally inset with medal

ranged to simulate medallion. me
ready-to-hang bonne femme comes in
ccrim, bobbinet, and the higher pric-
ed laces like Renaissance, Arabian
and broderie Anglats, on finest linen
inset with filet lace.
A woman def with her needle can
initiate these by buying either scrim
or bot binet by the yard making
medallion of torchon or antique lace
insertion, and trimming the scallops
with the material set on in little rul-
tiec, or with ruff1es of lace to match
the inshade may be run up to me
top of TIE window, and plenty of light
admitted to the room.
The housewife who cannot afford to
buy good lace curtains will welcome
the incoming fad for appliqued scrim
effects. This is an inexpensive ma
terial and lends itself artistically to
the mission furnished living rooms.
At distance this new scrim gives al
most the effect of f1ower-stamped
chiffon, but at close range it proves
to be mesh not unlike cheesecloth
with the floral pattern woven in.

Gotta of pinkish roses with soft green
foliage There are also some very
pretty conventional designs. including
a loaded glass effect which is excel
lent for libraries, dining rooms and
living rooms. In room finished
with dark wood peacock pattern OF
scrim would be exceptionally harmo-
nious. This shows a white ground
absolutely covered with gorgeous
peacock feather design in the natural
hues, set off by touch Of brown.

MAKING STEERS PAY.

At the Ontario agricultural college
The long-keep steers have always pro-
duced cheaper gains than the short
keep steers. 1t is impossible, how
ever, to produce pound OF gain in
live weight at the price per pound
for which live animals are sold. There
is, therefore, loss on every pound of
the more pounds of increase which
he is required to make before he is
At for market, the greater the loss
will be. Thus a steer which requires
to gain only 200 pounds before he is
fit for market, will give smaller loss
than the steer which requires to gain
900 pounds before he is finished 1t
is true, as mentioned before, that the
long-keep steer can be made, with
careful feeding. to produce pound
Of gain at a less cost than the short
keep steer; but this difference in ia
eor OF the long-keep steer is not suf-
fcient to counterbalance the disad-
vantage in having TO put on greater
number of pounds. The only chance
of profit that the feeder has is in
making the carcass which he pur-
chases worth so much more per
pound than he paid for it that it will
wipe out the loss incurred in produc-
ing the gain in weight This beiag
the case. 1t follows that a person can
afford to pay more for aeshy steer
which can be finished in a short time
than for steer which requires to
make larger gain, and consequently
calls for longer period of feeding.

THE BROOD sows.

Give brood sows the freedom OF
the pasture fields when with young
pigs, and as soon as the pigs are old
enough to eat, feed little shelled
corn and dry middlings with mash
OF wheat middlings and milk. Sows
with pigs should always have access
to a good blue grass pasture and
should not be fed too much corn. The
largest part of the ration should be
made up of oats and bran with lit

First place is given the bronze
green tones of the French color card
for dress goods. AS a class they have
the interest of novelty, being quite
unlike any one of the numbers OF
green that have been worn through

they are quite as much brown as

substitutes for the light tan and

sILAGE FOR BEEF CATTLE.

Some weeks ago we published an
interesting article from a noted cattle
feeder of Ohio, Mr.. Humphrey Jones,
showing the value of corn silage FOR
beef cattle. In a recent issue OF the
Breeders Gazette, Mr.. J. E. Wing, an
other well-known cattle feeder. says
on the same subject:
1--WE have used the silo two Win
tiers with young cattle that we were
nattening and three winters with
lambs. We are entirely pleased with
the results and are planning to build
our third silo We do not, however,
put all our corn in the silo nor do
we advise the course or certain
amount of dry feed we think very
desirable in connection with silage
when 1t is fed.
We allow the corn TO become as
ripe as it can without losing the juice
of the stalk; it is fully ripe enough 10
crib carefully when we ensilo 1t. we
also plant in the usual manner, put
ting no more stalks to the hill than
II planted for cribblng, and use no
larger variety of corn. We wish
the corn to mature before being put
in the silo. The ensilolng of imma-
ture green corn has not resulted we'll
for there is no fat in green, watery,
immature vegetation.
For some years past silage was ied
chiefly to dairy COWS. but in the past
few years cattle feeders are finding II
