that 90 per cen of all stacks that
draw water take it midway between

very carefully constructed. Never
draw the stack in rapidly at the
start, as this always has a tendency
to cause 1t to take water. The last

so particular, because the top is mar.

it should become a little wet. If wa.

Of those who have very little or no
experience it is best to put on a

biscuits Not Tor q Beauty.
BY MARGARET r.. sANGsTER.
If you ever, Dorothy, in the house
Of some old.fashioned friend, pick up
II of those elegant gift books which
were in vogue in the sos, you will
remember the steel engraving that
showed the ideal girl Of yesterday.
She was a willowy creature, with a
delicate face, long silken ringlets
shading her cheek, a very small waist,
and long graceful hands. She had
been taught to do embroidery and
other fine needle work. She eXcelled
in the piano playing of her day, which
was a less severe accomplishment
than now, and she was refined and re.
poseful. But there was something a
little depressing in her charm. A
dirgelike hymn, familiar to your
mothers, epitomizes that girl as she
used to be.
Sister, thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as a summer breeZe,
Pleasant as the air Of evening,
When it stirred among the trees
have attended the funeral of more
than one such exquisite girl, and have
helped to sing that very hymn beside
the silent sleeper. With the knowl'
edge of hygiene, which is universal in
the twentieth century, we are learn
ing that the girls who used to be sac
rifced on the altar of a mistaken idea
need not have died so soon. Very
early in life they we're taught not &c
run or jump, or do anything unfit foI
a little lady, and as they grew Older
they wore tight stays, abridging theii
breathing power; they slept in un
ventilated rooms, being afraid of the
night air, and If by any fatal chance
they came near a case of tuberculosis
they fell victims to it along the line
of least resistance.
1t may have been 90 years ago o.
more that the reaction against thi!
style Of feminine languor reached ii
height. Then, the athletic girl wa
greatly in evidence. So far from cal
ing at all about her looks, she was in
tensely proud of a sun-bronzed ant
wind.tanned complexion, of red hand
and arms, and of a sort of rude robust
ness that eliminated the touch q
daintiness to which every girl shout,
aspire. We have reached a saner day
and our girls have learned that the
may live an outdoor life, have perfeC
health and lose no jot of attractive
ness.

Texas Cattle Feeding.

The Texas Agricultural Experiment
station has just sent out the following
press bulletin, which gives a brief sy-
nopsis of the contents of Bulletin No.
81. We will give some extracts from
that Bulletin later:
The Texas Agricultural Experiment
Station has just issued bulletin,
known as No. Sc, and entitled Cattle
Feeding Experiments The subjects
treated are:
I. Molasses for Fattening Cattle.
II. Rough Rice as Steer Feed.
III. Profit from Different Systems
OF Feeding Cattle.
The authors, John A. Craig and F.
R. Marshall, summarize the work as
follows:
l. In our experiments the addition
Of molasses to fattening ration has
always produced an increased gain.
II. Addition of molasses to ration
Of cottonseed meal and hulls lowered
the cost of gains.
III. When molasses was added to a
balanced ration it gave larger gains
and improved the appearance of the
cattle but did not lower the cost of
gain. ~

Of grain:
Lot I.-Grain fed to hogs, 2197
pounds; pork made per steer, 1O9. Is
pounds; beef made per acre of milo
maize (based on a yield Of 40 bushels
per acre of milo maize), 1920 pounds;
beef and pork made per acre of milo
maize (based on a yield of 40 bushels
per acre of bilo maize), 497. So pounds.
Lot II.-Grain fed to hogs, 213o
pounds; pork made per steer, Ia
pounds; beef made per acre of milo
maize (based on a yield of 40 bushels
per acre Of milo maize), 1920 pounds;
beef and pork made per acre of milo
maize (based on a yield of 40 bushels
per acre of milo maize), 5OS.47 pounds.
The experiment closed July Goth, at
the end of six months. The cattle
were by this time in condition to make
very nice beef, but owing to their thin
condition at the start, were not. ripe
enough to sell to the best advantage on
the market. AS the commission sales
man remarked after the sale at Kan
sas City, they were in a class too well
filled, being in about the same stage of
r1peness as the bulk of the grain fed
cattle then coming to market. That
this would be the case was realized be-
fore the cattle were shipped, and it was
only because no more milo or kaffir
corn could be obtained that they were
not carried to a higher finish. They
sold in Kansas City for $5.O5 per hum
dred.
Financial Outcome.-The net profits
are shown in Table III. The total cost
Of labor including teams for hauling
all feed and grinding the grain amount
ed to $3.50 per head. This item is not
included in Table III.

sirable in lot of steers that are to be
fed and marketed together This was
a decided handicap, as was also, from
the financial standpoint, the very light
weight of the cattle. Owing to the
presence of mango in the vicinity both
lots were dipped during the second
month of the feeding period.
Amount of Grain Fed-A very light
grain ration, 6.5 pounds per head daily,
was fed at the start. This contained
cake in the productions previously
mentioned. About seven weeks was
taken in getting up to full feed. The
heaviest feeding was at the rate of Is
pounds per head daily.
The following table summarizes the
salient feature of the experiment. Cot
tonseed cake is charged at 81 40 per
hundred. The kaflr corn and milo
maize charged at Is cents per hundred,
or AZ cents per bushel The roughage
was not weighed or valued, but the
ne returns are credited to show the
value received for roughage when other
feeds were charged at above prices:

Hogs Used in the Experim AT
the beginning Of the feeding, twenty
five hogs. weighing about 100 pounds
each, were placed behind each lot OF
steers. Until near the close of the
period the hogs received only what
they got out of the droppings, but as
they were not doing as we'll as desired
the number in each lot was reduced on
March 10th. For time before ship
ping the hogs were fed some grain
from the trough, the amounts of which
are shown in Table II, which also
shows the amount OF pork made in

morning last at the residence OF
Mr.. Neeley Cook, near the Old
Grow Distillery.
1t seems that Mr.. Cook and his
wife had gone out of the house
for short while, leaving their
three-year-old daughter playing
around their room. She must
have gone too near the CRATE fire,
for, shortly after they had gone
out, screams were heard from
the child, and neighbOr rushed
in to find the little one enveloped
in flames. The nelghbor seized
a blanket from the bed and eX-
tinguished the flames, but not
before the child had been fatally
injured.
