New Mediums in DECORATION.

That cement and concrete are des-
tined to %supplant to a large extent
stone, terra Gotta, marble and other
materials now used for decorative pur-
poses Is the opinion expressed by an
editorial writer in Cement Age. Econ
omy has been the chief factor In the
development OF ornamental work In
concrete. After a mold is made the
cost of production becomes the verfest
trifle as compared with stone or mar
BILE. AS an artistic medium concrete is
quite as good as stone or terra Gotta.
Considering Its greater economy Ii
may be employed In many cases where
he cost Of cut stone would be prohib-
tive and terra Gotta unsuitable. Its use
embraces not only s~tatuary, garden
furniture, fountains and urns, but orna-
mental walls, bridges and balustrades.
In fact, an entire estate, so far as build
ings and structural features are con-
cerned, might well be of concrete, from
the dwelling to the least OF objects in
tended to ornament a garden or lawn.
Concerning artistic designs in concrete.
there Is no limit to the of the
worker. If he is of the faith that re-
jects all that lis modern and original,
and admires only the masterpieces of
the old world, the plaster mold will fur
nish him with an almost exact repro
duction Of designs wrought by hand.
The most intricate and elaborate pat
terms. which may have involved months
or years of toll on the part Of their
creator, may be duplicated In concrete
In a few days. When we consider the
extreme durability OF concrete in con-
nection with the low cost Of production,
is impressed with the great future
awaiting 1t in the domain Of decorative
work.

THERE is MONEY IN MULES.

IMPORTANCE on LIE cALF cRoP

From the Nebraska Twentieth Century
Farmer.
The Importance of the calf crop
should be recognized by every interest
associated with beef production. 1t Is
OF first importance to the owner Of the
breeding herd that the calf crop be
large. and that the quality be good.
In lumber and quality depend the ex-
tent OF profit in the business.
The present indications show that the
calf crop of this season is much bet
ter than the average, In point OF calves
saved from produced. This is
Que to the much better condition OF
the breeding cows at the calving per-
fod. The season of calylng is the most
critical and hazardous period In he
conduct Of the business. II the COW is
carefully looked after at this time and
has been provided with plenty of hay
ana iced through h winter to keep
ner In strong, vigorous condition, then
there need be but little risk In secur-
Ing satisfactory results. The careless
methods under which the greater por-
ton or the COW herds OF the country
are managed are not conducive to the
best results. "
Cows that are forced to rustic for a
living during the winter, or a greater
portion of 1t, viii drop down In flesh
ana weaken as spring and the calving
period approaches. The old range pIan
OF conducting the breeding by letting
IL onduct itself plainly proves how Inn
portant 1t Is to guard against loss by
the proper care of the breeding cows at
better care and more feed will al
ways be emphasized by increasing num-
bers in the calf crop.
The high price of meats now nrevaiI-
ing, especially beef, does not necessar-
ly Dfove that there is a shortage OF
cattle more than in the feed lots. II is
true that there is a scarcity of beef
cattle now going to market. 1t Is also
true that the prospects for a heavy
ran OF grass cattle for this season seems
quite certain. Large cattle interests
IN the range are seeking an Opportunities
70 go out OF the business and this means
that these cattle must come forward
TO the central markets to find a sale.
me homesteader who is taking the
place OF the cattleman on the range

From the chicago Live Stock World.

From the Chicago Live Stock World.
There are certain kinds OF live stock
that are undesirable for market purposes,
farmers don't want them and they
are therefore sent to market. Thin, ema-
clated, old hatrack cows come under this
classification. Packers are not anxious to
get them even at very low prices, and, 1 n
fact, would rather not have them al all
and buy them at about what the hide and
bones are worth. Lots of cattle OF the
undesirable class are condemned and
tanked, because they are not considered fit
for food. Inspection is more rigid than
1t ever has been and anything that is the
least suspicious is tagged.
At the Omaha convention a resolution
was passed to the effect that shippers be
advised to hold back all pregnant AMI
mails. Female stock in this condition are
often condemned and always bought at
such a discount that the farmer suffers a
distinct loss. Sows are locked 40 pounds
and cows and heifers are bought enough
lower to more than make up for the loss
that packers would otherwise have to
shoulder.

SL.oP EEEnIMG

From the South ako Farmer
This somewhat threadbare topic makes
Its appearance In some form at@almost
every wine convention. 1t always pre-
cipitates a warm discussion and airs an.
~tagonistic views.
AS a rule the old timers champion The
slop bucket, while more and more we find
that younger men are satisfied with the
results obtained from feeding a dry mix
ture to growing Pigs. 1t is claimed that
by feeding dry you will do away with the
pot-bellied appearance of the growing pig.
and OF course 1t materially cuts down the
labor item. -
The fac that good results are obtained
by either method when plenty of common
sense is used In the feeding simply indl-
Gates that the pigs digestive system ia
adaptable to a variety OF conditions. We
do not take our stand in favor of or
against either method, but In practice
find that the best results are obtained by
feeding both slop and dry feed. Take a
bunch Of pigs three or four months old
that are running on grass, and if~ YOU
want to bring them to a good weight at
an early age o will find 1t to your adj
vantage to use dry feed and slop. Wheth-
er 1t is best or not we cannot say. hut
we v always believed in giving the
growing pig just about all the thick sion
that he cared to take early In the morn
ing. When we say thick slop we mean
slop that will pour put of a pail, but a
little reluctantly. About as thick as heavy
molasses late in the fall. After this meal
pigs generally lie around for two or three
hours and they are then ready to spend
the balance of the day in the pasture,
They come up at night looking full, but
there is still room for more, a fact that
may be attested readily when thew hear
the rattle of the pail or the ding Of the
scoop shovel. This liz a time when we
think dry feed is desirable and nothing Is
better at such a time than dry corn. Ao-
cording to this plan the pigs therefore get
one meal of slop n one meal of dry
feed, and IL they are healthy they ought
TO grow 10 the constant delight OF the
owner.
