ers Of beef cattle their results have
been wonderful and they have to a
large degree accomplished their end:
but in SO doing they have developed
an animal radically different in form
and conformation from that which the
producer of beef cattle has developed.
Instead of being rectangular and
square in form and covered with beef
from one end to the other. they have
produced an animal that Is wedge

Those beaded across the instep and

A design accentuating a circle just

The colors are unusually varied
and can be found to match any gown.
Some are of a most beautiful change

tie into the dairy with the guarantee
that the calves which he produces will
be worth more two years hence
when he goes to sell them. even
though his cows do not produce half as
much milk and butter-fat.
Now, on the other hand, If we look
through the origin and the develop
ment of the dairy breeds Of cattle, we
find that for hundreds of years there
have been men with ability just as
great as that used by the developers
of beef cattle who have been working
and tussling with the laws of breeding
for years. striving to produce an ami
NAL that would convert every possible
bit of its food into milk and butter
fat. They have cared little for the
beef that might be found on the AMI

trade has been for cuts of beef that
are taken from over the back and the
loin and the other parts mentioned, be-
cause the beef found in these regions
Is more suitable to the taste, richer
in its favor, more tender, better
grained and, in fact, more to be de-
sired than is the meat which is found
in the neck, brisket, plates and in
those portions considered the cheaper
part of the animal. Because Of the de-
mand. the better parts Of the animal
have demanded a higher price and.
consequently, the animal which is
most greatly developed in these high
priced cuts is the more valuable ami
NAL, and because of the fact that like

been necessary to breed animals the
likeness of which would be we'll devel-

During this process of breeding up, he
has paid very little attention to milk

QUEER HABITS OF AUTHORS
Peculiar Eccentricities That Can Only
Be Set Down to the Eccentric
tiles of Genius.

Mark Twain's habit of writing in
bed in the latter years of his life has
called attention to some of the Pc
culiarities of composition among ear"
lier authors.
Milton never could write his poems
unless his head was thrown as far
back as possible and his eyes looked
upward. Maturin stuck a wafer be-
tween his eyebrows when he was
working, not only to show his serv-
ants and household that he was en-
gagged In composition but also to help
him concentrate his faculties.
Glover was best able to compose .
ballad while he was walking In the
garden of friend and destroying her
flower beds with his cane. Although
Mezeray worked only in daytime, he
had to have candlelight In the room
while he wrote his histories. Rous'
seau found that his thoughts came
most freely when he wandered in the
woods and collected botanical spec'-
mems.
Descartes lay perfectly still and mo-
tionless while engaged in thought. Am
pere could work on his problems only
while standing up, and thus he antici'
pated the desk of those modern wrb
tiers who stand at their work. Am
pere was In the habit Of writing down

Haydn never set to work on his
scores without drawing on the ring
given to him by Frederick H., and Pae'
siello was in the habit Of covering
himself with bedclothes before he
thought he was capable of his best
work.
