"ROLLER SKATE WALK LATEST
SOCIETY FAD.
Special to the World.


st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 6.-The roll
er skate walk is the very latest
among society girls of st. Louis. You
can tell it the moment you see the
girl. There is no mistaking it. 1t
is a cross between the military tread
of the chorus girl in the comic opera
and the glide of the premier toe
dancer.
1t breathes out suggestions OF
strong limbs, of buoyant health, OF
well. it is all right, and the girl
who hasn't acquired it is a yester-
days blossom.
In the ROLLER skate walk" the
ball of the foot is planted first, the
legs are kept straight, with no wab-
bling of the knees, the body is kept
erect on the hips and as far as pos
sible the walker glides along. How
ever, the ROLLER skate" girl throws
her shoulders forward-too much for
ward. 1t is involuntary, arising
from the habit of helping the skates
along with the shoulders.
Some of the st. Louis society maids
and matrons recently got to wonder
ing about the attractive walk they
found on the downtown streets, and
it was not the society girls who had
it, either. 1t was the style of the
girls who work downtown-the stem
ographers and saleswomen and clerks
who are not too proud to roller skate
Wondering led to inquiry and in
quiry to determining, and now So
ciety has adopted the ROLLER skate
walk" as the latest.

Hens will not lay well or thrive un-

Don't fuss around your hens too

be let alone at times.

besides clean water go in with the

cakes are filled with fine ice shaving5,
but no sawdust is used between or ON
top of the layers of ice until the filling
is done, when about one foot of saw
dust is placed on top.
Openings must be left near the peak
of the roof to secure ventilation, and
the sawdust filling at the sides must
be kept firm and solid while the ice
is being removed in summer. 1t is
important to locate the icehouse
where there will be good drainage
Poor drainage at the bottom of the
ice or allowing air to circulate at the
top will quickly spoil the contents of
the house.

IIOrse Value OF Country.

Almost $2,0OO,00O,OO0 worth OF
horses are owned in the United States
according to the Year Book of the De-
partment of Agriculture. 1t Is prob
able that if the horses were taken at
their real value, instead Of their as
sessed value, this figure would be grea t.
ly increased. According to this report,
there are 1902, ,0OO horses in this coun-
try, with Il value of 81 ,S67, 100000, and
the average value per head Is $93.IO.
Anybody knows that has tried to buy
horses of late that the average per
head is too small, for even an ordinary
work horse is worth more than that
However, the showing is very encour-
aging. In the last ten or twelve years
the number of horses in this country
has almost doubled, and, instead Of
there being too many horses there arc
not enough to do all the business that
is required, and if it were not for the
use of automobile trucks in the large

with every confidence that all the
horses they can produce will find a

good trotters, horses capable Of going
out and winning in their class, the de-
mand is greatly in excess of the sup
ply. Auction sale managers complains
that there are not enough of the good
ones to supply the gentlemen who are
in the market for likely prospects. The
coming year will be a banner one in
the horse business, especially in the
breeding business.

Retter Results with Corn.

According to the estimate made by
the government few weeks ago. the
average per acre Of corn produced in
Texas this year is only about five bush
els below that of Iowa, one of the
greatest Of the corn-producing States.
In the amount produced it was esti-
mated that Texas would be fifth in the
States of the Union. This is a splen-
did showing compared with what it
was only few years ago, and is ac-
counted for by the fact that the Texas
farmer is beginning to realize the great
advantage there is in raising his own
meat and bread, and in the further fact
