To Learn TO Converse and Keep Her

Is a Graceful Art.

One of the most graceful arts that

talk we'll and girls who do needlework
well, but they rarely combine the two
accomplishments skilfully.
One of the secrets OF the art is to
avoid doing In public any piece Of work
which requires close attention. Be
clever at accomplishing good deal by
always having on hand certain kinds
of work. or work at certain stages,
which admits Of its being done more
or less automatically. and let this oc-
cupy your fingers, which will busily
do lot for you. while you make your

Horns Net Wanted.

Buyers Of fat cattle discriminate
sharply against steers with horns. On

tie found buyers readily two lots OF
steers with big horns did not receive

sell below their real value as killers
and on a dull market it is hard to sell
them at all. Feeders should either
buy dehorned cattle or dehorn them
before they put them into the feed
lot. Buyers do not like to run the
risk Of having bruised carcases from
shipments of horned cattle, and they
take more than enough from the price
