HAVE REGULAR MENDING DAY
Wise Housewife Will Set Aside a Pc
Rod for the Repair Of All Her.
Clothing.

There is nothing on earth like sys-
tenn; and nowhere do you realize this
more than in matters of dress: The
tiny hole in your stocking, that you
might have mended in two minutes,
grows into an undarnable run; the
rip under the arm in your new blouse
extends alarmingly; nothing that must
be mended stays where it is put"
! The remedy for all this is a regu-
lar mending day--or regular mend
ing evening, If you are a business
woman. AS soon as a garment needs
mending- If it be only button or
hook that must be replaced-put 1t
aside unless it is so necessary that
you must attend to the trouble at
once: and when mending day rolls
around do the required sewing. You
will be surprised to find how much
lighter your work becomes when you
can thus catch rents and tears at their
start instead of at their disastrous
finish.
The other point to remember is al
ways to have your sewing implements
where you can get them and in per-
feet order. Do not wait until the
very moment for mending to find that
you are out of white thread or that
your needles are rusty. When thing
needs repairing repair it; when it
needs replacing, replace 1t. It might
even be a good thing to have a regu-
liar preparation day. to antedate the
mending one.

Back Ia the Wild.

There was i time when all dogs
were wild and when what we call
wolves were different from other dogs
.only as a collie now is different from
"a Newfoundland, Tor instance. From
time to time you will hear of dogs
that have returned % the life of their
ancestors and have run wild with the
wolves Of the prairie or of the woods.
In the town of Sandy in Oregon a
greyhound one night made the &C.
4auaintance OF coyote, which IS a
kind OF wolf, and ever since he has
4 lived away from the town, running
with the coyotes and approaching hu'
man dwelling-places only to steal a
hen or two when he has been more
than usually hungry.

the ends of the hair implies weighing

render the child's slumbers restless.
Some little girls are much more sen
sitive than others and require a spe-
cially soft touch when their hair is
brushed. The process should be under.
taken with gentle, steady and sooth-
ing hand, morning and night, after
which the hair should be plated loose
ly to prevent tangles and broken hair
during the hours of sleep.
The comb should be used with par.
ticular care, not the full length of the
locks at first, but little by little, ex-
tending its range after all tangles have
been removed from tho ends, until the
whole length may be combed through
without encountering a single knot. A
silk handkerchief used to FURNISH the
hair has the effect of producing soft
gloss, but no artificial aid, such as
grease, should be necessary.
1t Is asserted by many mothers that
brushing an infants hair upwards
when it is damp has the effect OF ma
king it curl, and that the curling tend
ency will continue as long as the hair
is twisted round the fingers, even after

Sheep Notes.

Champion prize for Car load Of fat
sheep was won by Benjamin Conley,
of Michigan, on a native load of
Shropshire clipped lambs. j. Orton
Finley, of Illinois, was a successful
exhibitor in the fat sheep car load
class. He won first and second on
range wethers, and second on range
lambs, and third on native lambs.
Both loads of yearlings we're bred by
Fitzpatrick Bros, Pickabo, Idaho,
while the first premium wethers and
second premium lambs we're also bred
in Idaho.
A. j. Knollin had the first premium
range lambs, a load of high grade
Shropshires of high finish, raised in
Idaho.
Shropshire breeders in their 9th,
annual session elected Miss j. W..
Wade as secretary and treasurer with
office at Lafayette, Ind.
The association now has 1000
members in the United States and
Canada an increase of so per cent
over last year.

Live Stock
The international Stock Show.

The great International Stock Show
at Chicago, which this year closed
on Dec. 3, is always one of the con-
spicuous milestones in American live
stock bree ling. 1t would take nearly
half the pages of the Ranch just to
give list of the entries. Probably
a majority Of our readers will there
fore be satisfied with a few of the
championship awards.
AT the big stock show are gathered
every year the enthusiastic stockmen
from every state of the Union and
Canada. They come to see horses,
cattle, sheep and swine. OF the
horses thev come to see the four great
draft breeds and coaches. The draft
ers are shown in singles, 2, 3, and
and ponies; in cattle the beef breeds
only, except the Red Polls, which are
generally recognized as dual purpose.
In addition to these are pure breds,
grades and cross bred individual
steers, shown in age classes for each
breed call the "fat classes; then a
grand contest among the champions
of all the breeds or grades for "grand
champion steer" which event is con-
sidered the climax of the big show.
This year the honor was won by an
eleven months old calf, Shamrock II,
owned by the Iowa Agricultural
College. Rumor comes that this
phenomenal "calf'' or steer was fitted
by being forced to take the milk of
four Nurse cows. If this is true
surely it is rather expensive ''steer
feeding" for the average farmer and

1t is great stock show and any one
interested in stock can spend the
whole week looking at any particular
breed of sheep, cattle, swine or horses
and not feel that any time has been
wasted.
We can only add a few notes that
may be interesting to our readers.
During the International Stock
Show at Chicago, two horses we're sold
at $4,000 each. Humans Pioneer
stock farm sold the Champion Shire
Stallion to John j. Mitchell, Of the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, of
Chicago, and Taylor & Jones sold
the Champion Percheron Stallion to
w. G. Brown, president of the New
York Central Railroad Co., at that
figure. At the prices they expect to
realize for the get of these two great
horses their money will come back.

advertising, auctioneer, sale pavilion,
clerk of sale, stables and half a dozen
small incidentals such as draying,
etc., here in Kent.
The Ranch would have been glad to
have prorated the expense, but some
of, the breeders suggested that we
might make the expense 700 high.
The following parties have already
contributed: G. McCleIland, Sunny
side, WASH; w. r. White, Mabton,
Wash. Newton HI. Peer, Tacoma and
Quincy, Wash; 7. D. Page, Kent,
Wash; Robt. Burt, Kent, Wash. and
John Cubby, Tacoma, Wash. There
are several others with whom arrange
ments are not quite complete and for
this reason their names are withheld.
The above will contribute from two
to Is head each. Hogs are promised
from A. D. Hudson. Tangent. Ore.
H. M. Foster, Collville, Wash; &.
M. Staisb, maritime Wash. and Sam
Taylor, Belmont Wash.
Those desiring to enter should send
their degree charts at an early date
as the catalog must be prepared and
sufficient time should be allowed for
advertising after all hogs are entered.
We can assure breeders that the sale
will be success as we will advertise
it in about ten or twelve papers.
The speaking will be good and the
Institute has already aroused much
enthusiasm.

The Coming Swine Sale.

Arrangements for the Swine sale
are progressing. Much correspond
ence is being had relative to the terms
and conditions of the sale. Perhaps
we are remiss in not giving out these
earlier, but it was decided to make
terms such as would satisfy the great
er number. At first it was thought
that the breeders would be willing to
contribute enough from the sale to
bear at least part of the Institute
work. This plan was successfully
carried out by a number Of breeders
in Nebraska at one time and by
newspaper in Iowa another time.
Our western breeders, however, did
not seem to be supplied with sufficient
surplus stock to consider this an adj
visable plan. Hence The Ranch has
taken upon it's own shoulders the
burden of the Institute work.
The matter of arranging an equit-
able sale expenses is the only matter
left, as far as the selling of the hogs
is concerned. In the central states
fixed sum is being used for selling
each animal, be it COW, horse or hog.
no matter how valuable it may be.
The general opinion among western
breeders, however, seems to be that a
percentage charge is the most equitable
arrangement. AS the swine in this
sale will be mixed. some brood sows,
some aged boars and some pigs, it
would seem that the percentage charge
is by all means the best method. We
have decided as suggested by a num-
Der of breeders that 10 per cent. of
the selling price will be about an
equitable figure to cover the .cost of

I its demonstration value is not worth
much. Probably Judge Garden,
of England, did not know this, but
provision should be made that it might
not happen again. Following is the
statement of Prof. w. j. Kennedy
who superintendent the feeding:

was sired by Black Woodlawn 42)88.

from birth, 1923 lbs; weight May
81, 345 lbs. gain per day since May,
4.67 lbs. During his residence on
the college farm at Ames, Iowa, this
calf had two nurse COWS and a grain
ration of five parts corn, three parts
oats and one part oil meal. He was
never off feed minute, but came
rapidly from the start. -
No matter how he was fed this
certainly shows phenomenal gain.
The grand champion award to him,
however, seemed inconsistent. The
| Live Stock World says: = Shamrock
Ii had been defeated by Victor; he
by Roam James, half brother to the
Canadian grand champion of 1907,
and he again by Shamrock IL. Truly
here was an inconsistency which could
not be explained away. The solution
came when the matter was laid before
