be matched in satin, and at any shoe

placed by the deliberately beaded and
embroidered slipper, which is a work

Admirers Of Fine Stock.

One of the very first things which
impresses the visitor to Great Britain
is strong love of good animals, which
to all appearances is one of the hered'
itary traits of the native Briton. Go

From the very humblest laborer to
his gracious majesty the king, there
IL shown strong love for real high
class stock. In recent visit to the
home of famous Scottish Shorthorn
breeder, whose name is familiar to
lovers OF good stock In all parts OF
the world, the writer was somewhat
astonished to learn that the gentle
man In question was also one OF the
most prominent business men OF the
town. Upon questioning my most
worthy host as to how he managed to
divlde-hls time between his city busl'
ness and his stock farms, he replied:
IL am In my city Offices only when
am compelled to be there, as that line
OF work is very monotonous. But
with my stock farms 1t is very differ

are the words OF one Of the very
greatest of present-day stockbreeders,
and are very significant, as a love for
any line OF work is the very first

Foundation Of the Export Steer.

Foundation Of the Export Steer.
In the first place, it must be re-
membered that to produce carcass OF
beef OF the best quality, steer must
possess large proportion Of the blood
Of some recognized beef breed. Steers
possessing considerable dairy blood
may give rapid and economical gains,
but the carcass of beef from such
steer does not carry so large a pro-
portion Of valuable meat as that Of the
strictly beef animal. This point has
been demonstrated in many expert
ments, The dairy-bred steer has a
tendency to form a large amount Of
fat that is not edible, whereas those
portions Of the body which carry the
most valuable meat are poorly devel'
oped and lacking In covering Of flesh.
While 1t is impossible to say exact
ly how the animal will feed simply
from inspecting 1t, at the same time,
there are certain features which are
peculiar to the animal which will
make rapid and economical gain in
weight, and which possesses the con-
stitution to stand heavy feeding. A
good type Of steer should possess a
deep body, broad back, short neck,
moderately fine bone, thick, fine coat
of hair, and somewhat thick but mel
low skin, which moves freely under
the hand over the underlying tissues.
When the hand is laid fiat upon the
ribs Of the animal and pressed against
them. mellowness and elasticity
should be noticeable, which indicate
ready fattener and a good quality oil
flesh. The animal which has thin
wiry coat of hair, and which feels hard
and unyieldlng when the hand is laid
on the rib, is seldom a quick feeder
and does not possess the thickness OF
flesh which Is desirable In beef ami
NAL. Of course, we do not expect that
a thin steer will handle like fat
steer, but, in handling thlck-heshed
animal, that mellowness Of handling
previously mentioned, is noticeable
though the animal may be compare
lively thin.
1t Is desirable to have good depth
and thickness at the heart In order to
indicate constitution; but there should
be proportlonate development towards
the rear of the animal where the meat
Is more valuable. Viewed from the
side, the steer should present a well
balanced appearance, that is to say
he should not show an undue develop
ment Of forequarter In proportion to
hindquarter, because the forequarteI
is Of less value than the hlndquarter
Beware of the steer with extremely
heavy shoulders, and coarse, "oxy
looking" head and horns. A full
bright eye and wide muzzle are also
indications OF breeding qualities

For Summer Frocks.

The craze for soft, supple materials
for summer frocks, not only in cottons
and linens, but in silks, increases
Many new names are used for the
various mercerized cottons. Silky
cottons are found in carious weights
and a great number of plain tints
and in a host Of figured designs. The
light yellows and bluffs are perhaps
the most fashionable. Some cottons
resemble light weight wooden goods.
This is particularly true Of the cotton
wolfe and the checked goods. Browns
are conspicuous in this line Of cotton,
and also small checks Of brown and
white. here are also cotton CLEANLINESS
