Selection OF Breeding Stock.

The breed is largely a matter OF
personal preference unless cattle are
to be bred to be sold for breeding
purposes, and then the general de-
mand or preference Is to be given
first consideration. II will be more
profitable to breed what the people
want than to try to educate them to
want what you think they ought to
have. We have already stated, that
only pure-bred bull should be used
and need discuss this matter no fur
ther than to insist that a good one
be bought. From 500 to 5000 is
the least that any one should think
OF paying for good bull
The females to be used should be
selected with more care than is gen.
orally given to such matters. II pure
bred animals are to be raised this
must be insisted on as absolutely
necessary. 1t is much better to
start with one or two good cows than
half-dozen ordinary ones. This is
cid advice, seldom needed; but we re-
peat 1t for the sake of emphasis, and
because 1T Is the best that can be Civ
en-. There is also another reason why
only few females should be bought
at first. Few men are fitted for breed

There are times when 1t Is neces-
sary to whip some horses. But more

needed. In many cases 1t is the man
rather than the horse who needs

STARTING the breed

@ should be provided and forage
produced for winter feeding. The
average Southern pasture will not
make fat beef cattle, therefore, some
effort must be expended in making
better pastures, and since cattle must
also be furnished winter feed, this
should be grown and saved on the
farm, or it will not be worth while
starting the breeding of improved
beef cattle.
But, however important the feed
question may be, it is not the subject
of this article. and we must, after
throwing out his hint. proceed to a
discussion OF starting the breeding
herd.
The Best Breeds for Beef Production.
The first essential is the selection
OF sire. and with this question the
one of which breed Immediately
claimed that on high-priced lands 1t
can not be made profitable to keep a
cow solely for the beef-bred calf she
may produce. On such lands 1t Is
claimed that the COW must produce
milk for dairy purposes to pay for
her keep. and in such case the writer
is of the opinion that the dairy cow
is the one that should be kept. On
our cheap lands, with our facilities
for producing feeds. and with our
short winters, a cow may be profit
ably kept for the beef-bred calves she
produces; but this does not entirely
solve the question as to whether we
should start a special-purpose beef
breed, or with a dual-purpose breed.
The Devon and Red Polled are prob
ably the best of our dual-purpose
breeds for the South, and are fairly
satisfactory producers of beef. None
will give satisfaction unless given
| the feed necessary to make meat; but
| IL short rations are to be given, the
dual-purpose breeds. which are lit
tie smaller. will make a given guam
tity of meat of fair quality as sat
isfactorily as any.
II beef making Is to be gone into
on the best basis. with the view OF
furnishing the animals the necessary
amount Of feed to produce beef prof
itably. then we advise one OF the
special beef breeds-a Hereford,
Polled Angus or Shorthorn.
The progressive farmer and southern farm gazette., 1910-04-02
Grading Up Native Stock.

Among the native stock are cows,
whether grades, or OF no particular
breeding, which conform more or
less closely to the beef type. and
these only should be selected for the
breeding of beef-making animals.
Cows of blocky, fieshy type. with
rather short legs and necks and
heavy bodies. will. when crossed with
a good type of beef bull, produce fair
ly satisfactory beef-making animals
from the first cross. Cows OF the
dairy type will. when crossed with a
beef bull. produce some good beef
making animals. but the average
quality will not be nearly equal to
that OF the calves produced from ma
tive cows OF the best beef type. II
you propose to raise beef cattle II
will be best to sell the dairy cows
and buy grade and native cows pos
sessing In some degree the type or
form OF the Matchmaking animal.
After this has been done time and
! feed, with proper management and
care, will win success; but when n
new bull is to be purchased. buy one
OF the same breed with which you
started. II the first bull has not
been as successful as you expected. II
may possibly have been because he
was not good individual. but more
probably because OF bad management;
on your part. and most certainly no,
because he was OF the wrong breed.

To Mend TinWare.

We hear much of the little leaks IN
kitchen economy which make the big
hole in the household expenses. One OF
these little things is the mending OF the
numerous articles of tinware in use In
kitchens, a simple process which Is often
attended with a great deal of inconven-
fence when the article must be sent from
home for mending. but which the cook or
housekeepeer can easily accomplish with
a little practice.
Get a pennyworth Of muriatic acid and
put into it all the zinc 1t will dissolve.
Scraps OF zinc may probably be secured
from the oilshop Then buy two or three
nennyworths Of hard solder. Whenever q
leak makes it's appearance In any or the
tinware, scrape off any rust that may be
round IT, then drop some Of the acid upon
- to clean 1t. Cut of a piece of the solder
ing and place it upon the hole, and hold
the vessed over q burning lamp or any
fame where the leak may be exposed to
heat until the solder melts and spreads
enough to cover the hole. Then remove
and hold in position. until the solder cools
enough to harden.
If Il Is necessary to mend any part OF
the tinware that cannot be exposed to the
name or stove heat, have an iron spoon
i'm which to melt the solder; treat the
leak in the same manner as to cleaning
and applying the acid; have a poker

TO MAKE STRAIGHT HAIR
CURL AND WAVE PRETTILY

If it be understood before beginning
that there is no certain way Of making
hair stay in curl, but that some locks are
affected by so-called Curriers' then a
girl may like to try experiments. Hair
waves or curls naturally only when it is a
certain texture-that is, unevenly con-
structed, one side OF each hair being a
little tighter than the other Naturally
this pulls it into Hnk, and without this
irregularity all grows in a straight line.
Whatever application. curls does SO by af-
fectfng the whole tube evenly, and that is
why, when dampness affects it, the hair
becomes straight.
Now. when there is the slightest tend
ency to irregularity of growth some OF

Of waving. as 1t were. far more than as
though nothing were put on. This is the
best result that can be hoped for by the
girl whose hair appears casually to be
straight and unless this happens there is
the wave in temporarily.~
Another point to be taken into consider.
alton is that hair which is too dry will
not wave, no matter how uneven it is
There are scalps which require oil to make
the locks stay in place. and, given this
they form in waves. To be- specific. a
person not infrequently sees young child

The woman who remarked that she
could visit for a week with the same
clothes that are required for Sunday only
was not stating an impossibility. for from
Saturday afternoon TO Monday morning
all the different occasions for which
changes of costumes are needed are not
greater than will be required throughout
the week.
One who dresses smartly is not sup
posed to put on, while she Is visiting. a
gown in which she travelled. She IS ex-
pected to have a travelling dress and re-
serve 1t for that purpose. Therefore that
frock is counted out for use. save when
she is leaving.
It is taken for granted that woman
arrives in the afternoon, in which case
she. does not change her garments until
dressing for dinner. But should she ar
rive before luncheon the travelling suit
must be taken off and either SILK OF
a wash dress donned

shall take for a dinner dress when going

would hold it little. and. being irregular
in construction, it cannot become straight.
The same holds good in regard to the
heads of elders. but scalps Of the condi-
tion and hair of that texture are more I'M
common than those which are oily and
heavy.
When the scalp is oily and the hair not
too dry it may sometimes he helped to
wave by using rosemary tea. Rosemary
water. in the amount of half a pint, has
in it twelve grains of carbonate of pot
ash. The hair is wet evenly with this and
dressed loosely. The locks on the head
must. be laid in waves. while the hair is
moist, and as it dries it may hold the
form.
Making loose couture and placing the
hair as 1t is desired it should dry has
much to do with successful. natural
waving.
One Of the simplest agents. which is
sometimes effective. consists in mOistening
the hair with water or grease. as may be
required, and dressing it loosely. At once
a thin veil is tied over, -bandanna fashion.
and, the net being transparent, one sees
through it to pat the hair on the head into
waves. The veil stays on for fifteen min
utes or so, keeping the locks in place as
they dry. This habit of tying on a veil
after the hair is dressed will sometimes
emphasize any irregularfty of the locks
and aid in developing waves.
