Dress For Business.

Anna Steese Richardson talks to
business girls in the Woman's Home
Companion on the Importance of good
taste in dress.
Said Frenchman to Mrs. Richard
son not long ago, as they sauntered
through a model department store:
Your working girls-they are
wonderful. See, they are ladies'!
Such well-kept hands. such beautiful
ly coifed heads, such smart shoes!
They must spend much time to make
themselves ready for work. Nowhere
else in the world will you see such
girls earning their living"
THE self-supporting women in
America have won an enviable repu-
tation for good taste in Dress" says
the writer. Not even in Paris, where
every woman is supposed to be chic
and to have an air, do the self-sup-
porting girls bear the stamp of gem
tility in clothes that you can note in
any large city or factory town in the
United States"

Treat the Boy Right

l believe the boys have the right
to be treated as partners in the part
of the farm that they help to till, and
the stock that they help to raise.
Nothing will encourage the habits
of industry and foster a manly am
bition more than to treat them as
partners, rather than as servants. AL
low them to have a sheep or calf
that they may call their own and al
low them the increase from that one
animal as reward for their labors.
If not livestock allow him a patch
of ground to till and allow him to
add to this patch of ground with time
and means for its cultivation, the
produce and proceeds which shall be
his own.
These little attentions and conces-
sio.ns will work wonders toward de-
veloping the boys manliness and at
taching him to the farm and the oc-
cupation Of his father. Such means
will prove better than handing out
a little change every time the boy
asks for 1t, for 1t will make him self
reliant. Most boys appreciate kind
nesses of this kind and will try and
make themselves worthy of handling
more and larger gifts. II is unwise
to try and pervert nature by making
farmers of boys who are intended for
something else. That is one reason
why there are so many poor farmers.

lucky find was located. Phil took
me off to one side and advised me
to locate the extension to the Bunker
Hill. He thought I'd better take Con
Sullivan along, Con being a sort OF
side partner of Phil's. That night at
10 O'Clock we set out in a furious

Cooper and Peck tried, and won.
The case was tried in Murray, Idaho,
before Judge Norman Buck and a
jury Cooper and Peck wanted a
half interest in the whole find. The
jury listened intently and brought in
a verdict for the defense, disquall-
flying the burro entirely. But the
Judge shook his head and had the last
word. 1t is recorded in the Idaho
scrolls of justice:
From the evidence of the wit.
nessss this court is of the opinion
that the Bunker Hill mine was dis
covered by the jackass, Phil
O'Rourke and N. s. Kellogg; and as
the jackass is the property of the
plaintiffs, they are entitled to a half

a quarter interest in the Sullivan

The Wrong Done.

An Atchison bride is worried to
death. She has been reading up for
several months in the women's coll
umns of the papers how to keep a
husbands love, and in all of them

your husbands constant companion.
When he comes home saying he is GO
ing on a trip, have handsome tailor
made costume all ready, some fresh
shirt waists and little travelling bag
packed ready to accompany him.
Look at him with winning smile and
say sweetly: Take me, dear He
will, and soon will not know how to
go without you," etc, etc. The
brides husband is travelling man,
but every time her husband has left
for his territory she has carried out
the plan offered by the women's coll
umns in the papers. He took her
once or twice and she was nearly
dead trying to keep up with him.
Yesterday, when the bridegroom
started for his trip, the bride APP
peared with her tailor-made suit, her
little travelling bag and her winning
smile. Her husband looked at her
and said: Great heavens, are you

Making Baby Beef.

The more unsatisfactory the milk
Situation becomes, the more anxious
we are to turn our attention to other
branches of farming, which will be
hore remunerative. II we could take
ID raising beef or sheep, we should
IT'LL have our manure and a good
profit from our stock without so much
worry over the labor problem and
trying to meet the difficult require.
ments of the city people in regard to
milk production.
Perhaps the most promising new
field is that Of baby beef. Baby beef
is a prime butchers beast, thoroughly
fattened and ripe for the block at
from IL to "a months of age. Growth
has been artificially promoted by con-
tinuous heavy feeding from birth,
with the object of obtaining in the
shortest time possible the maximum
weight of well-matured beef. It's es-
sential features are early maturity,
quality, finish and thickness of flesh.
The next question is, where can we
get stock from? We can either raise
the stock ourselves or buy young
calves from the range at weaving
Time, when they will weigh from $50
to 500 pounds, and cost from 4 to s
cents pound. Should we decide to
raise our own stock, we should pur-
chase either Hereford, Short Horn,
Angus or Galloway cattle. These
need not be registered stock, or at
least the cows need not, and should
1t be found advisable good young
grade heifers could be bought In
Texas, which IL mated to a registered
bull would produce excellent stock
for baby beef.
The next point to consider is how
to feed our babies so as to meet the
market requirements. What are the
requirements? The illustration shows
very clearly what are the most val
liable cuts to the butcher, and we will
DO well to bear this in mind when we
are raising our young stock
Our calves must be fed for growth
from the start and the food provided
must be composed of ingredients that
can be easily digested. Whole milk,
Of course, heads this list. This, fed
fresh and warm from the COW until
weaving time, will produce the best
calf for any purpose. This gives the
youngster chance to take little at
time and often and so avoids over
loading their stomachs. At the pres
snt prices of milk and labor, 1t would

look of prosperity and thrift, even
though the same grass contains no
more protein nor comes any nearer
to producing a balanced ration. How
are we to explain this fact? The cat
tie are not getting a different class
of food as far as chemical analysis
is concerned, for the dry hay contains
the same elements as the pasture
grass, but the great difference is due
to the succulent condition of the
green grass which is in a different
condition.
In order to make the best possible
food out of our hay crop II should be
cut when 1t will come the nearest to
approaching the same condition as
pasture grass. The nearer this grass
can be preserved to the way nature
provided 1t the better food 1t will
make for the farm animals. 1t is
by the feeding of this kind of hay
that we are able to get the best de-
velopment that our animals are car
able of making. .-Epitomist.
