ROOSEVELT RECEIVES
TOM THUMB AND WIFE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Tom Thumb
and wife were at the white house Thurs
day to see the president and after
a wait Of Is minutes were given an audi
ence and customary cordial welcome.
Their visit served to show that the
strenuous Mr.. Roosevelt has a weakness
for pugilistic celebrities far in excess OF
his admiration for freaks of humanity.
Battling Nelson recently at the white
house. was given the right of way over
scores of other people and the same was
the case with John L. Sullivan.
In each instance Mr.. Roosevelt forgoJ
affairs of state and let an Impatient
crowd wait while he discussed the manly
art of self-defense with the pugs, not so
with Thumb midgets. The president pass
ed compliment with them and made a
quick exit, the graceful thing for them.

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT.
Feeding Cattle Through the Winter

, of particular Importance during a long
feeding period of, say, $50 days or six
months. for cattle. IL in proper condition,
can, as a rule be finished in three
months, but to get them In condition to
finish viii require at least the same
length OF time, a point that should never
be lost sight OF. Second. in feeding it is
particularly desirable that uniform gains
be obtained. This calls for a nice adjust
ment of the ration and for the proper
combination of foodstuffs and the use of
palatable and tonic foods to keep the ap-
petite sharp and the digestion good
through a long period. Remember, an ami
NAL that is to be. fed so as to make
large Increase in body weight daily for
80 days is undergoing a severe strain,
and the adjustment OF the feeding stan
dard is a matter Of great Importance. 1t
. is not necessary that the animals should
be fed one OF the so-called perfectly bal
/ anced ratiOns. but il should approximate
the standard at least. The third matter
which should never be lost sight of is the
proper distribution of fat and lean in or
der to secure the highest quality in the
slaughtered carcass. The slaughtered
carcass that commands the best price on
the market is the one I'm which the fat
; and lean are properly blended and not
developed in separate layers. as il were.
An overly thick covering of fat. with
patchiness at the rumps and in other pOr-
tons Of the carcass is extremely objec-
tionable. nor is an. over-develOpment of
fat around the intestines at all desirable.
. The exclusive feeding OF corn for a period
OF six months is likely to bring about
some or all of these coalitions with many
classes OF cattle and particularly so with
those that have NOT been as well bred and
in which the assimilative powers are not
as highly developed as in cattle of better
/ quality
Bearing these facts in mind it is now
proper 10 consider how best to get these
cattle on feed and handle Jhen1 so as to
( bring about the conditions indicated. First
OF all. putting cattle on feed should be a
very gradual process. Probably more
/ mistakes are made on this point than
any other by the farmer who expects to
feed cattle for long perioo and hopes
for a profitable return on the grain fed.
/ Il is very grave mistake indeed to give
a heavy grain ration in the beginning
! When cattle are first placed on feed
they viii eat more roughness in proper
ton than they viii later on In the sea-
I son; therefore. cheaper gains can be made
/ by feeding a larger amount of roughness
at this period than would be desirable or
profitable at the finish For the first
4 50 or co days. therefore, only a limited
grain ration is necessary and naturally

It would seem that a majority of people
judge the United States weather bureau
by the weather forecasts that are sent
out daily from the local stations of the
service. They laugh at the weather de-
partment when they see a weather pre-
diction that fails to come true. and think
consequently that the weather depart
ment is worthless.
No one who has given to the subject
any degree of thought can fail to see that
the weather forecasts are an infinitesi-
mally small part of the work of the
weather service. And this is SO despite

corning the weather, some one of whom
may ask whether it is going TO rain to-

one man in August inquired of the wealth
er department whether it would he fair

to get married on that day.
''Will it be fair, or will it rain? How

created TO answer these questions with
absolute accuracy, and always with alb
solute accuracy, for their own personal
qualification. If it doesn't-then to Hal
flax with the weather department They
do not know that the local weather fore
casts are only a fraction. and a very
small fraction. Of the work done by the
department But the weather man knows
and he sits in his office unperturbed and
spends most of his time at the work that
is more important than weather fore
casts.
$3O,OOO,OOO Saved a Year
1t is said that some time ago a skep-
teal insurance company determined to
investigate the amount of property saved
in one year by rhe warnings of the
weather bureau. 1t was company of
conservative men, whose estimate would
be under rather than above the truth,
but it was learned from this source that
on an average the people of the United
States saved every year $50, 000, 900 because
of their weather service. AS the people
contribute 81. 10000 every year to its sup
port, this means that they get annually
dividend of 1000 per cent on their in
vestment.
IL is an interesting process to trace
the manner in which the weather ser
vice aceomplishes this great saving or
property. One or the most dramatic
phases OF the weather service is the
watch that is kept on the rivers
throughout the country. BY long expe-
rience and close observation the wealth
er man has learned to read the symp-
toms predicting a rise or fall as accu-
ratelX as a physician can count the
heart beats of his patient with his
finger on the pulse. This is done by
means of hundreds of rain gauges
posted on the rivers throughout the
country, which are silent sentineIs to
tell when the rainfall has been heavy
and the exact number of inches that
have fallen.
The weather man knows the number
o. miles of territory drained by each
river; he knows how much water the
river bed can carry in given time; he
knows the strong and weak points OF
the river banks. so that il the rains

Correcting . MuIe,s Bad Habit

A. o. C., Helena. Ga. writes: Please
tell me what to do for a mule that eats

The cause OF your mule eating his
