COST OF MAKING BEEF.
Effort Being Made to Discover the
Point Where Steer Feeding
Should Stop.

It has been accepted as proved that
the younger an animal the lower is
the cost of putting on flesh and fat.
Some experiments have been made to
prove this, but the data are too meager
to permit of the building of very
strong arguments on them. Prof.
Mumford, OF the Illinois station, has
taken up the question and is making
an experiment that will at least add
to the volume of the data If it does
not settle the question, which it prob
ably will not. Herds Of various ages
are being fed at the station, and these
will be marketed as fast as ready and
careful reports compiled of the cost
of gain made on each lot. There is
point beyond which it does not pay
farmer to keep an animal, even though
that animal Is all the time gaining
in weight. The station is trying to
find the point at which steer feeding
must stop, II q profit is to be made.
Every day after that; point the farmer
Is losing money and losing the time
he is putting on the care of the ami
NAL.

BITS OF FASHION.

Black, dark blue and brown gowns

or yoke and undersleeves, but the new
millinery may correspond with the
gown, relieved with the lighter tone.
If touch of color is needed, add a
cluster of carnations in the dress and
flowers of corresponding color to the
millinery, but no colored trimmings on
dark gown of solid coloring.
radical changes. It's as If the whole
world millinery were in a state of up
heaval. Big hats appear here and there
-half-shame-facedb before the tiny, tip
tilted things we've been accustomed to
and liked for their saucy little style.
A new brown is around town-bril-
liant in comparison with the rather
lifeless color we usually mean by
brown. 1t is especially pretty in the
horsehair hats, as the ruddy tint in it
takes the light best in horsehair.
The revival of an Old fashion is the
sailor hat with wide crown and mar
row brim. The favorite way of trim
ming them is to drape on a veil OF
mousseline de sole in one of the new,
rich shades.
Tiny three-cornered hats for wee
tots are trimmed with three prim ro-
settles of baby ribbon-one on each
place where the brim turns up.
Light weight wash 1lannels have
polka dots of color or white embroid-
cred at regular intervals, over the
cloth.
Lots and lots of pale blue hats-the
shade that goes with eyerything-are
worn.

the travelling suit. SO carefully dire they

DERRICK FOR LOADING HAY.

DERRICK FOR LOADING HAY.
stacking as when storing under shell
ter, we have observed many farmers
In our immediate locality who are using
their brains to good advantage and
erecting derricks for the purpose of u.s.
ing the hay fork for transferring the
hay from the load to the stack. We
have now observed the working of these
derricks for the past six seasons on ad-
joining farms and conclude that when
properly erected and operated the work
of stacking can be made practically as
easy as when the unloading is done un.
der shelter.
The illustration clearly shows one
of these derricks in operation, says the
Ohio Farmer. For general-purpose
stacking this style of derrick has become
commonly used, first, because it an
swers the purpose admirably, and sec
ond, 1t can be more easily transferred
from place to place. The first thing nee
essary in the construction of derrick
of this nature is three poles about 90
feet long. 1t is very desirable to have
the poles of as light timber as possible,
SO that the derrick when constructed
will not be SO heavy but what two men
can easily handle 1t. The poles are
fastened together at the top with a half
inch bolt, the top end of each pole
being hewed somewhat triangularly so
as to give freedom of movement for
transferring the derrick. The rope is
then fastened at one end to the top of the
derrick, passing down through a pulley
attached to the fork and back again to a
pulley at the top and from here to an
other pulley fastened at the foot of the
derrick. With this method it is neces-
sary to use the single rope method, but
II will be found to operate satisfactorily,
1t is very essential in stacking with
derrick to keep the middle of the stack
full and firm. While the dropping of the
hay from the fork will greatly assist in
this work this must not be entirely trust
ed to maintain the proper condition. It
will be found great advantage not to
take too large forkfuls, because they
will not only make the work harder for
the stacker. but in addition to this it is
impossible to build the stack properly.
When the stacking is done in the same
field where the grass is grown it ia ad-
visable to build the stacks long and onlv
sufficiently wide to warrant resisting
winds. BY SO doing less heavy labor
Is required in stacking and much better
SNAPPED stacks can be built.-Leo C.

PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT
Interesting Particulars Concerning
Salaries Of Senators and
Representatives.

The salaries Of officials of the United
States government have been increased
several times since its foundation. and
necessarily, for the relative value OF
money has declined. For instance, in
1889, the salaries q senators and repre-.
sentatives were fixed at six dollars cay
and six dollars for every 20 miles of
travel. In 1895 these sums were in.
creased to seven dollars each. In 1916
the salary was made $1,000 per annum.
In 1918 it was raised to eight dollars a
day and eight dollars for every 20 miles
OF travel. In 1856 the pay was put at
$4,000 and mileage as before, and in
1866 the salary was raised to IS Gao and
OF the speaker to $4,000, as these are now.
The salary grab act of 1873, which in
creased the pay to $500 for senator's
and representatives, aroused an indlg-
nant protest, not because OF the increase
in itself, but because the raise was made
retroactive only in the case of congress
and that feature was concealed under 9
raise of salary of the president from s25,.
600 to $4,000 a year, and of the chief
Justice from $500 to $1o,5oO, and of the
vice president, cabinet officers and asso.
ciate justices from$8, 900 to SIC. 900, none
OF them retroactive. This salary grail
act was repealed the next year, and all
the salaries, except those of the presi.
dent and justices reverted to the old
standard.
These salaries should be now in.
creased moderately, and the bill for ia,
