THE PROFIT IN BEEvgs.
Proper Handling and Feeding Gives
Good Returns.


A. A. Arnold, in talk to Wisconsin
farmers, said: Twenty years ago the
1,S0O to 1900 pound steer brought the
highest price in the market and cap
tured the first prizes at the fat stock
shows, whereas now the tidy, we'll
rounded, even-neshed steer, weighing
1000 to 1,400 pounds, Is the kind that
commands first prices, while the 900
to 1000 pound yearling is a close sec
ond. Those that can afford Il. want
nice, tender. juicy meats, not the hard,
tallowy kind, the result of long feed
ing.
Now, II we can get n steer on the
market when he is from 12 to 16
months old and will bring $3.50 per
hundred when the 400 to 1900 pound
steer from "a to SO months old brings
six cents. the margin in price is so
small that the profit on the yearling
may be greater than on the two-year-
old. In the first place, a farmer that
raises his calves must get them on
the market when they are yearlings,
or what are called long yearlings, else
he needs ranch to carry all his cat
tie. If disposed of as yearlings, he
has his cows and the same number of
calves, whereas IL he keeps them until
two years old, he must keep one-third
more stock on his farm. The yearling
is disposed of and the money is in his
pocket to be invested in whatever ne
likes The older stock will eat more
roughage, but IL costs more to main
tain them, as the larger and older the
animal the more 1t costs for the food
Of support, and 1t is self-evident that
there is no profit, except that which is
utilized by the animal above his food

market when they are 12 to 16 months

finished, the farmer realizes a nice
little bunch of money for his calves

properly fed and well handled, they
can be made to gain two and one hall
pounds per day, and will weigh 1900
pounds will sell for Baby Beef $500
per hundred, or s72.00.
From experience have proved that
can make 960-pound steers in 1c
months from a calf that will sell for
a top notch feeder with an average
grain feed of four pounds per day
thus costing me for grain alone (grain
at one cent per pound), $500. This
steer brings $43.20 and leaves me a
balance of $500 for milk and rough
age. In case he is finished, he weighs
| 1,20O pounds and brings me $72.00. He
has cost me eight pounds of ground
feed and oats per day. or $4,000, leav
ing me $4,000 for milk and roughage
This pays better than a gold mine
at least the average gold mine"

popular now for some time.

Another showed gloves with her fin
gers sticking through for lack of mend
ing; while another had her hair so be-
frizzed and becurled that she looked
more like toy terrier than a stenog-
rapher. You noticed, doubtless, that
the three / retained for examination
had plain clothes, neat and tidy-al-
though. perhaps, they might not be

There is no one who should be more

If laundry bills are somewhat con-

waist that the present fashion de-
mands; and skirt we'll cut and short

completes the costume. Where a
touch of color is liked, little butter
fly bow and a ribbon belt to match
will serve to- relieve the severity of
the garb, without in the least detract-
ing from the suitably plain appearance
of the design. For example, a very
pretty dark blue mohair shirtwaist
suit is furnished with sets of cravat
and belt. Some are in plaid ribbons,
some in pale-blue velvet ribbon, while
little made bow tie is matched in a

Couture important.

A faultless coiifure, without any
doubt whatever. is sine qua non of
the modern elegante's equipment. And
the lack of 1t can spoil the daintiest
toilette. The textures of the hair, its
sheen and its smoothness of arrange
ment are the essentials. Careful
treatment, the delicate use Of brillian-
tine, and the wearing of an invisible
net over careful waves can achieve all
these essentials.

Trim the Hoof.

Take chisel and good block of
wood and cut of the long grown out

the winter without attention the feet
are likely to be in bad condition in

is likely to stumble and break into

Reset the Shoes.

Don't let the shoes stay too long on
the work horses. 1t is not hard in the
winter time to keep shoes on horses
for three or four months. but If allow
ed to stay on for more than four or
five weeks the shoe is likely to con-
sract the foot and make trouble. So
we would advise having them reset at
least once a month or twice in three
months.

own.
AS far as the attending physician,
DIR. O. E. Portmann, and his advisor
surgeon, General Rixey. of the navy,
could determine at s o'clock tonight,
when q bulletin was issued, there has
been no material change during the
day. This means, as DR.. Portmann ex-
pressed It, "she may live for a day. for
several days or even for month"
The physicians agree that no one can
tell when q turn for the better or worse
may set in. She continues comatose.
Her strength, following an attack Of
grippe and bronchitis, is much enfee-
bled, and 1t is feared that any recur-
renee of severe apoplectic symptoms
would at once prove fatal. If the pa
tient rallies sufficiently to take nour-
ishment, the chances seem to be Tor
an indefinite prolongation of life. How
long, no one presunles to make deii-
mite guess.
