With the Small Farmer
Grow Your Own Heifers

1t is a well-known fact that many
individuals have excellent mich cows,
but YOU never heard of one of htem
being sold. The very best cow is al
ways kept for the family milk supply.
1t is only human nature for a person
to hold onto really good animal, and
the good dairy cow, above all other
animals, is held onto as long as she is
useful. Her high merits are recognized
and she is rewarded by being kept at
the homestead. If a cow is to be sold,
one of the inferior ones goes, and the
purchaser is compelled to make the
most out of her.
There are just as many good cows
now, and perhaps many more, than
there were a few years ago, but those
who have the really good cows know
their high value and they are not seek
ing to dispose of them. In fact, they
could not be purchased if they were
sought after All dairy products have
become so standard and high in price
that the good cow can make her way
at any price. If you start out to buy
a good cow, feel assured before you
start that the man who has cows for
sale is not going to show you his best
producers, but ones that are poor and
defective.
The only way to have good cows, I'M
less you are prepared to pay an
enormous price for them, is to grow
your own eheifers and make the best
COWS you can from them.
to begin with, and begin to breed in
some definite line, and stick to that
line. If you want Jerseys, then breed
your COWS and heifers to a pure bred
Jersey bull; if you like the Holsteins,
breed to a full-blooded Holstein bull,
and stick to that breed till you have
grades that will look like pure breds,
and produce like them. Your first
cross with pure bred bull and COM
mon COWS will be a half-bloOd. Bred
again to pure bred male in the same
line the second generation will be
three quarters pure, and SO on indefi-
nitely. In a surprisingly short time you
will have dairy herd with so much
good blood and quality in it that all of
your cows will have distinct character.
you have chosen. They will increase in
their production, and your surplus fe-
males will be as salable as flour or

meat, at from two to three times as
much as could be secured for common
or mixed stock.
A local farmer is now breeding COM
mon and mixed breed COWS to a pure
bred Holstein bull of merit, and all of
the calves, at the first breeding are so
strongly marked with Holstefn charac-
teristics that one would take all of
them for pure breds at a short dis
lance. Calves three fourths pure can
scarcely be detected from pure breds.

ling heifers four and five times as much
as a common heifer would bring, but
he is keeping his for future breed
ing and further improvement.
Large dairies are starting up all over
the country, in nearly every state in
the Union. These new dairies find it
difficult to purchase anything but the
commonest of scrub COWS, WHICH, as
we all know, seldom pay their way.
They have got to breed up from these
common COWS in order to get what
they want. The small dairyman, or
the farmer who makes dairying a side
line to his general farming, can make
good money by breeding along definite
dairy lines to supply heifers for the
new dairieS that are starting I'D. There
is also a strong demand for good grade
heifers of any of the dairy breeds from
small farmers and private individuals
who want one or two COWS for family
use. You can always dispose of your
surplus stock at good figure il you
have good cows and stick to one breed

The Long Suffering Cuirass
BY MADEMOISELLE MISfIT.

The cuirass has not yet run the
gauntlet of the evening gown. 1t

midsummer and on the broad highway
that it may have worn itself out with
the Partisan before it reached the
ballroom, for which, after all, it was
better suited.
This model. suggesting old armor,
is essentially dignified, but it has been
dragged down. 1t is elegant in out

stand it's construction. 1t demands
the perfect Venus in figure, and just
everybody has put it on. 1t is adapt

many phases of the socialist propa-
ganda, he has refused to play the dem
agogue and has given all classes a

church has aroused much criticism, but

coming to believe that the free

ment of God in making religion more
powerful than it ever could have been
as an annex of the state
The career of Fallieres from an
humble barrister at Nerac to president
of the republic, furnishes proof that
France has at last learned the lesson
of democracy. His faults are those of
the common people from whom he
sprang and are overshadowed by his
many virtues.
Between a Fallieres, sturdy repre-
sentative of republican France, and
Count de Castellane, decadent offspring
of the old rotten nobility, there is all
the difference between virture and vice
After all, the revolution was not in
vain.

into a ..hip-line dress" Above and
beyond all else it should have been
kept exclusive, even if by force. and
it has suffered an almost ridiculous
popularity.
In the cuirass, the whole middle por-
ton of the princess gown sprang into
a. sudden prominence which alarmed
some of the most Frenchy of men dress
makers in Paris to the point of its sud
den recall; but here in America it is
being held in allegiance. There is even
now "a chance for it's continuance; it
may yet respond to the kindly treat
ment, and, be assured. it needs the
kindliest that can be accorded it.
The true cuirass outline varies to
such an extent as to drift into intense
ugliness in the finished whole, or to
admit of rare beauty. In fit this model
may be close or loose, and either way
may prove a dismal failure; in drap
cry, it may be smOothed or Wrinkled,
and the skill of the mOdiste will de-
termne the result. You may have
whichever you will, the right cuirass
on the wrong woman or the wrong cui-
rass on the right woman-both conbi-
nations are at hand-but why not seek
absolute perfection? The design lends
itself to the richest of old-time elegance
in ornamentation, while perfection Of
fabric lavished on the long and fOw
ing gown of cuirass outline could net
better employed.
1t is not surprising that the posi-
bility still offers TO place this inter
esting gown on a par with the lately
accepted Louis XVI evening models,
which are pretty and womanly. The
distinctly feminine of the latter French
period seems pitted against the grace
fully dignified of the medieval.

treat their fathers and mothers with
respect they are good children.
But they are not.
They are simply not bad.
If you had the elixir of youth in
your possession you wouldn't forget
or neglect to give it to those who
needed it, would you?
And you have.
To many fathers and mothers, be-
ing invited to share in their sons di-
versions means being made young
again.
You doubt it? You don't think your
father and mother would care for go
ing about with you? You think they're

Next time you go to see her, tell the
lady of your heart that next Satur

If she's the right kind of lady she'll

I've written this in the masculine
gender because l think sons are more
apt to drift away from sharing their

daughters.
But that need not prevent any

Making a Bran Mash.

Directions for properly making a
bran mash are given as follows: First
wash out bucket with boiling water,
then pour in the quantity of water re-
quired, say three pints, and stir in
three pounds of bran. Cover and leave
it for two or three hours or more, if
not required for immediate use. A
mash requires hours to cool off and is
often given to a sick horse too hot and
is refused when it would have been
taken if properly prepared and fed
when warm instead of scalding hot.
The addition of a tablespoonful of salt
to the ordinary mash can be recon-
mended to keep down parasites ans.

part of the sick horses diet unless

When fashioning yokes in frocks
remember that all yokes need not be
round. You may depart from the us
ual shape to bring out the good points
Of your features anc to submerge the
unattractive lines by a counteracting
yoke effect.
The round features of the Cupid
type of face ought to be very well
linked with a guimpe or yoke whose
lines are long. BY a poNad yoke
will this be effected, or an irregular
opening which drops in steps from the
neck to the lower end. Trimming
should be applied in vertical lines,
whether tucks, braid or ruffles of lace.
For the long, oval face the opposite
treatment should be tried. A rounded
yoke with lines of braiding running
parallel with the edge will do wonders
for the face above. This type of face
looks better above a fluffy Pierrot
collar than a long jabot
If women would master the lines of
their features before designing their
bodices, many good points would be
emphasized and a corresponding less
ening of defects would result. Elk
tremes or fashion should be unheSi-
tatingly avoided by women of marked
popularity of physique or feature.

England and the United States.
A total force of 10000 fighting men

Four thousand officers and $1,000

participants. In addition three thous
