Feeding Cattle a science.-Growing

Feeding Cattle Scence.-Growing proper feed for cattle is as necessary as growing the cattle that are to be fed. The finishing of cattle for mar ket has been almost reduced to a sci ence and the feeders who are success full are painstaking and make a close study of everything pertaining to the business. When practical farmer buys machine he selects one that has proven the most reliable for his pur- pose and that will do the most work in the shortest time. The same rigid selection should be made when we are selecting feeders for the purpose of manufacturing our products into beef The improved animal that has inherited fixed characteristics is the best machine for converting farm crops into beef. The mixed or poorly bred animal is like machine of less capacity and in- ferior quality of production. When a farmer draws load of grain to the elevator he exacts the last quarter from the buyer. He should conduct his feed ing on the same business principles. Feeding inferior stock is like hauling the grain to poor market The farm CT who raises maximum crops with the latest highly improved machinery

 The personality of the man filled tVsy room, the personality of the master. One felt that whatever other person might happen to be there. Carolus Duran would still be the one tow yS whom all eyes would be turned Ibe one felt that if he gave an order ISf would not be disobeyed. One co, ,Es readily imagine his pupil, John SaHS! gent, great enough himself to be ranked among the masters, lowing his head before Carolus Duran and doing as he was told.
 But Duran does not want to be all ways obeyed. He insists upon his pu- pills following their own initiative
 Each person must march alone if he is to accomplish anything" he said. Tn painting, the most difficult of all arts, he must learn how to take his steps, of course; he must study long
 
 and patiently and learn how to walk, and he must learn this from others. Then he must go his own way as he sees it most clearly.

 Paris is better for the beginner. He learns in Paris how to feel, and no one can paint or write or do anything in art who has not learned to feel. to have sensations. I came to Paris for its sensations, for the new world of thought and activity centered here, for the plays at the theater, for the books that are being written, for the men and women that make Paris what it is.
 But in Paris there is too much bus tie and business for me as mature, artist, too much electric light, tele- graphs, telephones, hurrying trains and rushing people.

CAROLUS DURAN TELLS THEM TO
 GO TO PARIS AND ROME.
Famous Painter Says One Has Tina and Chance to Think in the Eter- nal City, But He Goes to
 Paris for Sensations.

Paris-One cold December morning a wondering maid, rubbing her eyes. brought coffee and hot water at an unearthly hour while the fashionable world of the Bois was settling itself for final sleep, and took an hours journey across Paris over to the Latin quarter to see Carolus Duran come up from Rome for a few days in France. For many long years he has been at the head of the French Acad- emy at Rome, teaching, but painting as well, as is testified by the long list of great pictures, among the best ot the present century.
 It was only nine o'clock, but he was already in his studio, the one he keeps always in Paris for his frequent vis- it's. He was at his desk opening let ters, giving directions to his secra- tary, and receiving one by one lit tie coterie of old friends and students. They had been there for some time waiting for him in a small reception room where a kindly concierge had made a bright fire on the hearth, giv- ing warmth to a room already peo- pied with living canvases of the mas ter, hanging on the walls.
 After the others were gone and the letters all opened we had a little talk in the big studio, a small pipe organ at one end and a grand piano at the other, draped with curious Indian shawl Large canvases and small of lovely female forms and masculine faces full of dignity and character

the molding platform they be placed upon smooth bed of moist sand and protected from the sun until thorough ly cured. During this period they should receive a thorough drenching at least once a day.
 The life of the molds will depend upon the care with which they are handled. A coating of mineral oil or shellac may be used instead of soap to prevent the cement from sticking to the forms. As soon as the molds are removed they should be cleansed with a wire brush before being used again.
 The cost of reinforced concrete fence posts, of course, depends upon the cost of labor and materials. and must necessarily vary in different 10. calities.

WRIGHT BROTHERS IGNORED BY
 THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.
Washington's Birthday Marked by tn, Bestowal of the Red Ribbon of Legion of Honor Upon Amer
 ican Inventors.

The, French government has been the first of the nations to officially rec ognize and honor the maker of a fly ing machine and the men thus dis tinguished are the two plain unassum- ing but busy Americans-the Wright brothers. It would seem that the red ribbon of the Legion of Honor was well bestowed, for the achievements Of these two men has set all the air ship builders of the world agape with wonder and envy. x But what will the red ribbon mean to Wilbur and Orville Wright? Just what it means to the other Americans who have received it from the French government. It is first and last and all the time an honor which great nation confers for some special reason Napoleon created the Legion of Honor first of all for the members of his army. It was to be his reward of merit. He carried around with him on his person half a dozen of the little crosses which constituted the decora tion; and in the smoke of battle pinned now one and now another on the breast of some soldier he had caught in the very act of heroism In times of peace he found that this same dec oration excellently took the place of the old orders of nobility, and he con- ferred it on civilians, especially on of ficeholders, to recompense them for faithfulness to his interests.
 All the French governments since Napoleon, in spite of new revolutions, have found the Legion of Honor use ful for what they call "hororific dis functions" It is the republics only way of doing what King Edward does when he singles out man for anighthood or the peerage.
 Among Frenchmen the military le- gionaries still enjoy something of the original privilege of the order-a small pension and free tuition of their daugh- ters at the schools founded for that purpose. But for civilians-and for foreign legionaries-the cross and red ribbon is the highest honor within the gift of the French government-and that is enough. During his life the le- gionary, with the red ribbon in his buttonhole, will be honored by au- thorities from policemen up, and if he dies in France the soldiers of the re-

PHYLLIS ARsTAlNs-AH, ME!

An, Lent's dreary time at best, with nothing doing in the town. Society in sonlber garb and rectors to- ming Satan down;
 But I'd no quarrel with those days of penitence; indeed. sometimes I've felt bit contrite myself on hearing those clear, dulcet chimes Calling fair sinners to their prayers. bid ding recreant world make haste To gain the sanctified retreat wherein it's sins might be erased; But now I heed them not at all, howe CT they call appealngly- You must abstain" the rector said, and Phyllis now abstains from-me 'Tt's only forty days" she said, and l am yours for all the rest. In Lent my dear, the rector says, one must give up what one loves best, Abstain from every worldly thing; and you are worldly, aren't you? Besides, it's but a test, she cried,
 whether net your love rings true"
 No plea of mine availed against the rec tors ban on worldly taint; Twas her obsession (great word, tnat)'
 and thus it was my pretty saint In chastened mood and heart contrlte

who, from their official position, come into direct contact with government diplomats who please in delicate nego- tiations or who have long represented their country with honor in France, and of late those who have had high positions in the worlds fairs where France has shown. Then there are men of science recognized already by the French academies or university, and, of course, men of world wide dis tinction like Edison and the Wrights, whom the French government for the credit of France holds to honoring. After these, until lately, it seemed as if American artists resident in Paris would carry off about all tne remain ing red ribbons.
 Within fifteen years time a great change has been wrought. The French government has more and more con- ferred it's coveted decoration on Ameri- can business men, Americans in plain commerce and industry and finance

strength. This reinforcement can be common fence wire embedded in the cement as the post is made. If smooth wire or rods are used the ends should be bent over to prevent slipping. Twisted or barbed wire may be used, the former being the most easily han- dled. Galvanized wire is not neces- sary as it is protected by the cement from rusting. A reinforcing member in each corner of the post is probably the most efficient arrangement. These will give the desired strength.
 In using a mold similar 70 those il- lustrated, it is necessary to provide a perfectly smooth and even platform of size depending upon the number of posts to be nodded. A cement floor if accessible, may be used to ad- vantage. The molds when in place are given a thin coating of soft soap, the platform or cement floor serving as bottom of mold being treated in same way. About one and one-half inches of concrete are spread evenly over the bottom and carefully tamped, oO oo to lSddSC lO d lllIChiItoo Ol about one inch. A piece of board cut as in illustration will be found useful in leveling off the concrete to a de- sired thickness before tamping. On top of this layer two reinforcing members are placed about one inch from the sides of the mold The molds are then filled and tamped in thin layers to the level of the other two reinforcing members, the fasten- CTS for fence-wires being inserted dur ing the operation. These reinforcing members are adjusted as were the first two and the remaining one inch of concrete tamped and leveled off, thus completing the post so far as molding is concerned To avoid sharp edges, which are easily clipped | triangle strips may be placed at the l bottom of the mold along the sides and when the molds have been filled and tamped, similar strips may be in serted at the top. The top edges may 1 be beveled with a trowel pr by run ming an edging tool having a triangu lar projection on its bottom along the i edges.
 The ends and sides of the mold may be removed after twenty-four hours but the posts should not be handled for at least one week, during which time they must be sprinkled severa times daily and protected from tht sun and wind The intermediate strips may be carefully withdrawn a the end of two or three days, but i is better to leave them in place unti the posts are removed. Although ; post may be hard and apparent! strong when one week old, it will no attain it's full strength in that time and must be handled with the utmos care to prevent injury. Carelessnes in handling green posts frequently re suits in the formation of fine cracks which, though unnoticed at the time give evidence of their presence late in the failure of the post.
 Posts should be allowed to cure a least six days before being placed il the ground, and for this purpose it i recommended that when moved iron

The use of cement for the making of fence posts on the farm is becom- ing quite general. The material of fers very desirable substitute for timber, which is now so expensive and scarce. It has the advantage over wood in that it gives post that is not only reasonable in cost but one that is everlasting, its strength in creasing with age. There is no de cay with cement, consequently no re- pairing or replacing. And in appear ance the cement post is all that can be desired

The legion constitutes an order like the an- cient order of knighthood, with it's chevaliers and their officers, command CTS, grand officers and grand croix.
