FOR THE PLAIN GIRL
ADVICE TO ONE WHO WOULD
SHINE IN SOCIETY.
The Heart and Mind Count for Fully
as Much as an Attractive
Personal Appearance
Would.
A girl writes me plaintively:

II have great ambition to shine In
society, but though my figure is good,
my features are very plain, and, like
all ugly persons, 1 am extremely SEN
sitive. Then l am afraid that
haven't the kind of way that is needed
Do tell me what to do, for l am very
unhappy"
There are good many plaiR people
in the world, if they only knew it, for
great deal of the lack of charm comes
from the inside. Irregular features
and the Indifferent colorings which
stand for absence of beauty are by no
means the whole thing. The heart
counts, as do the mind dress, extreme
fastidiousness in personal habits, etc.
The plain girl must want to please IL
every way, and she must get some fun
out of her efforts if she hopes to be
an entire success. She must not only
like the little amenities of society;
she must love them
Let me consider the qualities of my
correspondent for social brilliancy.
She has, to begin with, a good figure.
Way down under her tormented self
consciousness she has the wish to
please. So, if she will only stop think
ing of her good points she will be
able to do wonders.
A girl who can write such frank
and simple letter is no fool, and her
self-depreciation shows she is of mod
est nature, two excellent qualities for
conquering the bland artifcialities Of
social life. For no woman with good
figure is ugly when she is well-dressed
and society sees nothing but charm in
the modest figure who, without osten-
tation, does the right thing at the
right moment every time.
So the first thing to do is to strive
with might and main to Danish self
consciousness. When the plain girl
listens she must think of the talker
and not of herself. She must en-
deavor to be interested and to give
such sympathetic answers as will i'm
mediately endear her to the speaker.
There is a point to keep ever before
you-the good and sympathetic listen

LIVESTOCK
GsISNlOIES IN

Sheep are excellent farm cleaners,
weed killers and fertilizers.
There is more profit in a granting
pig than in squealing one.
In. some cases it may be necessary
to Dissolve some EPSON salts in the
feed.
A team that works in the field all
week should be allowed to rest on
Sunday.
Be sure the sows are not constipa-
ted. Give roots, fruits and oilmeal
in the feed.
Too much feed should not be
steamed at one time as it is apt to
become sour and unpalatable.
The fact that hogs require a great
deal Of water makes feed fed as slop
more desirable than dry feed.
If the horse must be kept in the
barn during hot weather, keep all the
doors and windows wide OPEN
Every sheep owner should keep a
pure-bred ram, but every man is not
qualified to keep pure-bred stock.
Five minutes work with a rough
cloth on a horses hide after hard
days work will do him lot of good.
Everything possible should be done
to bring the ewes to a vigorous flesh
forming condition at the mating
period.
The small stomach of the horse in
dicates the improperly of long fast
ing. Feed three times a day at all
times of the year.
Hogs fed on cornmeal and tankage
require a great deal of water and this
adds to the digestibility of the feed
and helps to make gain.
A hog will eat almost anything
when very hungry, but his appetite
should be tempted with palatable food
if he is to make the greatest possible
profit.
Steaming feed for hogs is an easy
matter. All that is required is large
box connected with small boiler by
a one-inch pipe. The pipe should
connect with the box at the bottom,

Blue and White FouIards.

Blue and white foulards in host of
designs are much favored, and almost
every house worth mentioning has
turned out good looking models in
this coloring, though the dotted fou-
lard has lost caste, and little cubes,
squares, octagons, ETC., with an occa-
sional striped design are preferred.
Attractive foulard models are also
shown in the popular black and white
coloring, the foulard often combined
more or less freely with plain black
satin. A black satin coat and skirt
band with bodice and upper skirt of
foulard make a practical and modish
trotting suit, and there are numerous
models on the same general lines
shown by prominent designers.

immediate party landed, they were
whisked away in White Steamers to
the home of Mrs. Douglas Robinson at
433 Fifth avenue. A little later, when
the procession reached the corner Of
Fifty-ninth street and Fifth avenue,
Colonel Roosevelt again showed his
preference for the motor car in gen.
eral and the White cars in particular,
when he, Cornelius Vanderbilt and Col
lector Loeb transferred from their car
riage to White Steamers, which were
in waiting for them.
After luncheon at Mr. Robinson's
house, the entire party, including
Colonel Roosevelt, again entered White
cars and were driven to Long Island
City, where they were to take spe-.
cial train to the ex-President's home.
at Oyster Bay.
The supremacy of the White cars
with the Roosevelt party was again
demonstrated on Sunday, when the
party was driven to church in the
White Steamers, and a group Of some
forty prominent Rough Riders were
taken in a White Gasoline Truck to a
clambake at the Travers island club

er is power in society. Every little
act of graciousness in the way of con-
sidering the comfort and vanity of an
other before your own adds one more
figure to the total of charms. The girl,
plain or beautiful, who would shine in
the best chair and biggest piece of
cake at the drawing room tea any
more than she can afford to interrupt
talk with irrelevant gable Her heart
must be open to the foible of the other
'critter," man or woman, and she
must have at her finger points a per-
feet knowledge of all the small polite
nesses that constitute human decency.
Tact must be her sword and genuine
liking for humanity her armor. So let
me advise all girls who fancy them
selves plain to practise, first, the gen.
tie art of pleasing; for this constitutes
the very foundation of success in so
ciety, and without it one is nil. And
of course this recommendation in
cludes the little arts and graces, for
if you don't know when to call and
when not, and think it not worth while
to answer invitations, or do some 9TH
er thing equally annoying to others,
you will fall far short of being tact
full. A knowledge of every social re-
quirement, however small, is absolute
ly necessary

RAISING the Calf.

The management of the calf during
the first year has much to do with it's
later usefulness. Plenty Of water and
salt should be given in clean vessels.
Avoid sudden changes OF diet and
practise regularity in feeding. Pro-
vide warm, dry quarters in damp
weather. Give plenty of roughage and
not too much grain so as to develop a.
large capacity for handling food as is
desirable in dairy animals. When the
calf is six months to a year old milk
may be omitted from it's ration and
a full roughage and grain diet sub
stituted

Shire Mare and FoaI.

In a few days food may be given six
times a day and later four times
daily. The foal will soon learn to
drink from pail, if allowed to suck
the attendants fingers at first.
Until the bowels move freely, give
rectal injections night and morning.
If the foal scours at any time give
two to four tablespoonfuls Of mix
ture of sweet oil and pure castor oil
shaken up in milk and stop feeding
milk for two or three meals, allow
ing sweetened warm water and lime
water instead. Let the foal lick oat-
meal as soon as it will eat and grad
ually increase the amount and add
wheat bran. In five or six weeks
some sweet skimmilk may be given
and the amount gradually increased
daily until, in three months or so, it
may be given freely three times a
day in place of new milk. The foal
at this age also will be eating freely
of grass, grain and bran.
At all times supply pure cold drink
ing water Let the foal run out in
lot or grass paddock for exercise.
Accustom it to be handled daily
Feed small quantities of nutritious
food often, keeping all food vessels
clean and the foal should thrive and
develop well.

shire mare and foal which took the
first prize at the London horse show
last year.

RAISING THE COLT BY HAND
Cows Milk May Be Used If the At
tendant Conducts Work Patiently
and IntelligentIy.

(By A. S. ALEXANDER, Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture.)
In case the mare dies or has no
milk the foal may be raised on cows
milk, if the attendant conducts the
work patiently and intelligently.
Choose the milk of a cow that has
recently calved, preferably one which
gives milk low in butterfat, for mares
milk while rich in sugar, is poor in
fat. Sweeten the milk with molasses
or sugar and dilute with warm water.
Give a little of this prepared milk
at short intervals from a scaled nurs-
ing bottle and large rubber nipple.
Be careful to keep the bottle and
nipple scrupulously clean. Ado an
ounce of lime water to each pint Of
the prepared milk and allow half a
cupful once an hour at first
AS the foal grows, gradually in
crease the amount of milk fed and
lengthen the intervals between meals.
