Judoes in National Beauty Cont est
Award Her That Place.
Denver Girl is First and Della
Carson is Fifth in the
Final Decision.

Milwaukee, July S,-The
national beauty contest that
has been conducted by news
papers all over the United
States for several months
past in search of the most
beautiful woman in America,
has been decided in favor OF
Miss Marguerite Frey OF
Denver, Colo, with Miss
Garbriella Worsley Of Onion
Grove, Wis, as second.
The second most beautiful
woman in America is a tall,
graceful girl of the type that
has come to be regarded as
distinctively American. The
classically regular features
of her oval face are framed in
masses of wavy brown hair
and her deep brown eyes and
abundant color give the per-
fecting charm to her beauty.
There is nothing doll like
about her features or express
sion. Her beauty far sur
passes mere prettiness, her
face glowing with intelligence
and interest that betray the
well trained mind. Her grace
full carriage gives evidence of
her life in the country and
her familiarity with outdoor
pasti1nes and occupations.
Although Miss Worsley has
long been famous locally for
her beauty she is entirely un-
spoiled by fame, her modest,
unassuming bearing being
one Of her chief charms.
She is the daughter of the
late Thomas G. Worsley and
the sister of A. A. Worsley,
who in 1898 made the race for
governor of Wisconsin on the
populist ticket, and now a
prominent and successful law
yer of Chicago. She was
born on her fathers farm
some. % years ago and now
lives there with two sisters
and a brother. She was edu-
Gated in the local schools and
at st. GATHERINGS academy,
Racine, from which institu-
ton she was graduated sever
al years ago. While at the
academy she devoted a part
of her time to the study of
music, becoming proficient in
playing the harp, piano and
guitar. The harp has an
especial appeal for her and
she looks forward to pursuing
her study of this instrument
at no distant day.
Miss Marguerite Frey of
Denver, who through the de-
cision of the judges has won
the title Of the most beauti- |
full American girl, like Miss
Wor sley, is tall and slinder,
ane although but 19 years of
age her regular features. and
wide blue eyes give promise
of even greater beauty as the
years go by. She is a blonde |
with a delicate, clear COM
plexion and a mass of bright |
golden hair that has been
called crinkly. Her purity |
of expression adds greatly to
her charm. She was selected |
to enter the national quest by
the Denver Post.
The third winner in the |
contest was Miss Fola Thorn
ton Rice of Washington, D. |
c., while the fourth was Miss
Lillian Lease of Pittsburg,
Pa.

THE VALUE OF
LIQUID MANURE
BY Prof. Harry Snyder.

In discussing the value of manure
the comparative value of the solids
and liquids are to be noted. The nj
trogen value of the measure is largely
in the liquid portion, which must be
saved to secure a balanced manure
and to obtain the best results. The
use of sufficient bedding prevents loss
of the liquids. About half of the nitro
gen consumed in the food is returned
in the liquid manure. Now, if the
liquids are lost, there is a loss of half
OF the nitrogen to begin with, togetb.
err with loss of large portion of the
potash and "a part of the phosphoric
acid. Thus it is to be noted that in
order to get balanced manure both
solids and liquids should be used Too
frequently the manure that is an.
piled to the land contains onlv'2O ne,
cent of the fertility of the food. where.
as is should contain so to 95 per cent

The ammonia is converted by other

In rendering them more soluble and

Durum wheat is hard, flinty, trans.

comparatively rich in sugars. The
grain Is long, and may be either dark
or light in color, according to the
variety and the conditions under
which it is grown. 1t is somewhat
poorer in gliadin than the best bread

wheat, durum or hard wheat is one
of the most nutritive and healthful
of human foods, containing as it does

however, show that spring wheat

excessive irrigation tends to change

BEEF PRODUCTION

The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just completed four rear test
ms to the most economical ration to
be fed for beef production and has ar
lived at the following conclusions:
Prairie hay when fed with corn
alone to (: ttening cattle gives small
and unsat sfactory gains and very lit
tie or no profit.
Alfalfa hay with corn alone gives
large and profitable gains.
The use of well cured corn-stover
with alfalfa and corn, while 1t may
not produce larger gains, will make
the gains less costly because Of its
low market value, thereby increasing
the profits over corn and alfalfa alone.
In feeding only prairie hay as rough.
ness to fattening cattle, much larger
and more profitable gains can be
made Of linseed-meal or possibly some
other protein concentrate Is fed with
corn in small quantity rather than
feeding corn alone.
The results of two experiments in
dicate that linseed-meal is little
more valuable than cotton-seed-meal
and much more valuable than wheat
bran for experimenting corn when
fed with prairie hay or corn-stover.
When alfalfa is made at least half
OF the roughness with prairie hay or
corn-stover, good gains may be made
and at less cost than when no alfal.
ia Is fed, the protein being supplied
by the use of linseed meal. In other
words, it is possible to grow protein
on the farm at price much below
what it will cost on the market in the
form OF some commercial protein
food.
Corn-stover cut Immediately after
the ears ripen and cured in shocks
possesses value fully two-thirds as
great as prairie hay. The part usual.
y consumed, viz, the leaves and up
per portion of stalk, is quite the equal
Of prairie hay pound for pound.

If fatten.1g steers suggest the posi-

From a commercial point of view
he results of this entire series of ex-
'erimerts go to show that cattle feed
ng can be made profitable when dis
retion is used in the selection of
Gods for the ration. On the average
arm in Nebraska where grain and
