The fashion of lining fancy yeiis

increasing One girl was seen wearing
a new and extremely becoming veil OF
the finest tulle in fetching shade Of
Maroon Delicate scrolls Of chenille
wandered over the hem, and there was
q powdering of large and small dots
over the rest of the surface. 1t was
worn with small sable tOque, drawn
neatly over the face. 1t was crossed
Mt the back and tied in an immense
bow Under the chin. the ends being
tucked in the front Of the jacket. This
shade Of marion is wonderfully be-
coming to a clear complexion. and es-
pecially with its cobweb lining Of
chiffon in pale blush rose tint. Very
few women realize that pale blue tulle
makes a stunning lining for the win
ter veil. particularly when combined
with silver gray net. as it adds a deli
cate bloom to fresh cheeks, and, II
spotted with white. the effect is quite
fairylike.

BEEF CATTLE

The experiment of feeding steers
twice or three times q day was made
by the Messrs. Hornets, says J. w.
Ingham in American Cultlvator. Two
lots of steers of the same breed, the
same age and weight and, SO far as
could be seen, in the same healthy con-
dillon were put up at the same time
and fed the same amount Of hay and
grain Of the same kind each day, but
the one lot received It's quota divided
into three feeds per day, the other into
two. Both lots received as much food
as they would eat up clean.
When well fattened the steers were
sold and weighed the same day. There
was not much difference in their
weights and appearance, but all the
steers that had but two feeds per day
outweighed the others which had three.
Shelter For FRttening Steers.
AS long ago as the fall of 1902 there
was planned a series Of experiments at
the Pennsylvania experiment station by
Professor i. j. Mairs to test the COM
paratiye merits of indoor and outdoor
feeding for fattenlng steers, says
American Agriculhrist. These. exper-
iments have now extended through
three seasons upon practically the same
plan.
From rec or'ls kept during these ex-
periments it appears that the temper
allure has very little to do with the
gains The large gains were made
quite as often during the colder perl
dds as during the warmer ones. In
many eases it seems that the cold acts
as q stimulant which results in greater
gains. Even the steers outside some
times made their largest gains during
the coolest weather The indications
are that 1t Is much more important to
keep steers dry than to keep them
warm and that whatever advantage
barn feeding may possess over outside
feeding results not from the warmer
but from the drier quarters.
The Hardy Highland Cattle.
The Highlander may justly be termed
the champion "rustler" of the cattle
kingdom. 1t is said he can pick up
living under conditions where other
cattle would starve, and he literally
carries his roof on his shaggy back.
Altogether he should be rated a prom
inent example In his line Of the useful |
and ornamental combined, as he is ad
mittedly the most picturesque Of the
domestic animals and at the same time
profitable to handle commercially in
the right localities because Of his hardy |
nature.
1t Will be gathered from the forego-
ing that the foremost characteristic of |
the Highland breed is its hardness.
and 1t deserves attention on this score !
alone. When, in addition, 1t is claimed
that there cattle produce beef Of the
choicest quality It will be apparent that
they may be Of much economic value
In those parts Of the country which are
In any way similar to their native en-
Such localities no doubt
exist In some Of our northern states.-

Iowa Lady Has Great Faith
In Cuticura Remedies for Skin
Diseases.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTlCURA

"I had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the knees.
/ at first thought it was prickly heat.
But soon scales or crusts formed where
the breaking out was. Instead OF gong
to a physician, purchased a complete
treatment of the Cuticra Remedies, in
which | had great faith, and all was
satisfactory. A year or two later the
eruption appeared again, only q little
lower: but before it had time to spread
] procured another supply of the .Cutl-
c,lra Remedies, and continued their use
until the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and

SPEED OF ANIMALS.
Tho Greyhound Leads, Followed By
the Horse and the Red Deer.


the Horse and the Red Deer.
The following interesting letter con-
corning the relative speed Of animals
appeared In the London Field:
The fastest animal we have is the
greyhound. The next are the race
horse, the red deer and the hare, and
then comes the good, big, bold dog
fox, which is fine galloper on good
going. In comparison with any of
the above the fastest fOxhound on
sound fat turf is as slow as q man
moving grass for haymaking. But IL
you radically alter the trial ground the
above does not hold good. For instance,
on rough clods, whether melted or not,
hare cannot run at all; hence she gen.
orally takes care not to go there, and
where greyhounds are kept she habItu-
ally lies in her form near the fringe Of
a rough fallow that when coursed she
may quickly be on good going. With
such long, powerful hind legs a hare
can beat anything up a steep hill. A
foxhound can easily beat any horse
over deep clay pillow, because the horse
weighs as much as twelve hounds and
therefore sinks deeply. In stag hunt
Ing the red deer tires earlier than the
blood hunter, though the horse may not
be faster, but great consideration must
be made for the discretion of a good
horseman, who avoids exhausting deep
ground which the deer plods through.
A run of eight miles within the hour
in either of the three wet wintry
months would leave the body Of the
field behind, but 1t would be easy to
riding man on galloping horse when
the March winds have dried the coun-
try and the obstacles are only ordinary.

MILE and OiImeaI For Hogs.

Where no skim milk Is available for
fattening pigs shorts and oilmeal make
good substitute, and this is as cheap
q mixture as can be got, and the cost
of producing q pound of pork outside
where no shelter is provided is nearly
double the cost Of producing it inside,
and protection Is essential for the pro-
duction of cheap pork. Such are the
conclusions arrived at by the central
experiment farm at Ottawa, where a
test on feeding young pigs for lean
meat, or bacon production, was carried
out.

just sneeze Right Out.

"Never suppress a sneeze," said the
trained nurse to the young woman who
had just performed that polite act. ut
is a great strain on all the nerves and
blood vessels of the head, as it throws
all the action to the back Of the head
instead Of letting 1t come out Of the
mouth safely and naturally. The unu-
sual and hard strain on little blood
vessel that may be weak IS likely to
burst it and cause instant death. A
loud sneeze does not SOUND very nice,
but it is q safe thing to do every time"

Stable manure is a low grade fer
tilizer, having a total of only twenty
five pounds of plant food in ton, d.
vided as follows: Nitrogen, ten pounds;
potash, ten pounds; phosphoric acid,
FIVE pounds. Stable manure has an
excess of nitrogen; therefore in order
that 1t may act to the best possible ad-
vantage it should be balanced before 1t
is applied to the soil by the addition Of

were In the state of Maine, nor could
he name them all without looking up
the information in his geography. He
was bright boy, too. and / wondered.
