and the home must be something more
than place of shelter. 1t is still the
keystone of the nation. the place

Some of the most garing faults in
home furnishing are the commonest,
those committed thoughtlessly or per-
haps, to be more exact. those prompt

much easier very often to put into our
homes and wear on our persons. even
TO put into our manner. those things
which fashion says are right rather
than to adopt those things which suit
our own individuality. environment
and needs.

homes. Some one has said THE
world is full Of beautiful things If one
has money to buy them. The world is
also full Of ugly things-things false

To have something like every one

house furnishing That is one reason
why so many country houses try to
reproduce on cheaper scale the city

country places. Ignorance Of or in.

THE Adams McGill company has
about 5000 head of cattle and probably
10000 head of sheep out in that coun-

nectcd with the company. THE sheep
and stock men out our way have done
well the past few years This has
been the longest and coldest winter I
remember. and I've spent 81 years in
Eastern Nevada And yet the stock
has not suffered much. The cold got
down to Is below, too. Under such
weather conditions with foot of snow
on the range and no shelter, which IS
the custom throughout the west, our
sheep and cattle do not get on as we'll
as they might under more favorable
conditions But In spite of this, new
milch cows are coming In every

our winters put additional strength
and stamina into the offspring.
Practically all the beef from the
Adams McGill herds is marketed right
ut home. You know Ely mines and
smelters give employment to 1000
men or more. This daily consumption
is considerable. The cattle are slaught-
cred and sold from the company's own

up to short time ago the sheep
were kept principally for the wool,
but lately black-face and other bloods
have been introduced into some OF the
flocks. the intention being to increase
the size of the animals, making them
moro valuable from the butchers
point of view. This Is proving very
satisfactory, too. And yet the quality
of wool Is being maintained"
