What Your Eyebrows Tell.

People who have traits they want
to hide are in more and more danger
every day. Ways Of reading char
acter are multiplying alarmingly.
Now appears a clever German who
says the eyebrows are an unerring
indication of a persons temperament
and disposition. Lightly marked eye
brows, lying high above the nose,
show a weak nature and an inclina-
ton to avoid work.
Dark eyebrows indicate strength,
and patience as well, while light eye
brows are rarely seen in people whose
minds are keen and sharp, though
the color of the eyebrow doesn't mat
ter as much as the shape.
That highly arched eyebrows de-
note a sensitive temperament has al
ways been known, but the general
belief that they are the sign of SUI
perior intelligence is not, says the
German character reader, a true one.
Thin eyebrows show lack of vital
ity, and bushy ones almost always go
with great virility. If you see a wo-
man with heavy eyebrows meeting
above the nose, you may trust in her;
such eyebrows in g woman, says the
German, spell sincerity.-New York

GROWING DAIRY INDUSTRY.

The growth of this great industry
is shown in the increase Of dairy cows
during the year from 1908 to 1909,
as shown by the Agricultural Depart
ment. The increase Of dairy cows in
the year named is $4,000 in round
numbers. We have already called at
tention to the work of the Illinois
station in the dairy department.
where seventeen cows were kept on
twenty acres of land at a net profit Of
$50 per acre. Ensilage feeding and
the soiling system yer employed IN
this. 1t is said that efforts at that
station will be made to maintain one
COW per acre by this system of feed
ing. The dairy industry will con-
stantly increase soil fertility. while
grain farming exhausts it.
The State agricultural colleges are
doing a great work through their
dairy departments in the way of
showing how soil fertility may be
constantly increased by dairying.-.

Shirt Waist or Blouse.

The tailored shirt waist Is always

HORSE FEEDING.

1t is no doubt true that Americans
feed their horses too much hay. 1t
is common among horse owners to let
horses stand to full managers when
not at work. But in London, the cab
horses, for example, are given Lay for
but two hours a day, in the evening.
At the end Of two hours the hangers
are cleared. Careful testing in de-
creasing the timothy hay ration one
half has not shown that the horses re.
quired any more grain than before
to keep them in equally good condi:
ton.
Horses do not need a heavy ration
Of alfalfa hay. Fed with grain, prob
ably ten or fifteen pounds Of it Is
equal to a manger full Of other hay.
AS they become accustomed to the
alfalfa it may be increased a little,
and the grain decreased. 1t is a rich
food and should not be used as freely
as hays with less protein.-From Co,

No Flies on England.

The flies can be put down. The
proof is that 1t has been done. Speak
ing rashly, there are no flies in Eng
land; at least, there r so few that
the Inhabitants do not think it worth
while to screen their dwellings. The
reason is the simplest-the tight lit
tie island is kept clean. Fifty years
ago flies were a nuisance in England,
though not the plague they are here,
for no other really civilized country
was ever quite so dirty as the United
States Of America. This nuisance is
pretty completely abated. In fifty
years England has been swept and
garnished, and the flies have starved.

of the wagon connect with the wheels,
and as the child draws the wagon

H PIG.

In these days the American pig

of the judicious feeder is to add con-
stantly to the flesh acquired while
sucking, bringing the hog up to ESQ
to $50 pounds IS early and on as In
expensive feed as possible. The young
animal will naturally put on weight
more cheaply than an older one, and
gains after ten months cost consider
ably mora than those made earlier.
A pig which is being fattened should
gain from one to two pounds a day,
and weigh, alive, 25s to $50 pounds
when nine to twelve months old
