when large gathering OF medical
men and others met to celebrate the
second birthday of the local "Siamese
twins" DR.. Rooth. the practitioner
who attended them at birth, says:
"The children are doing very well. and
are quite up to the normal size for
their age. They are showing signs
o. considerable intelligence. and can
converse In fashion with each other.
They play and quarrel, and are al.
ways in good health. There is much
more mobility than | expected there
would ever be between them, but so
far their efforts to stand have not
been successful. They have wooden
framework, in which 1t is hoped later
ON that they will be able to learn to
balance themselves; but fear walk

been named, have developed decided
taste for sweetmeats beloved Of the

she will spend no end of time en-
brodering coats, dresses and lingerie

All kinds of very good patterns may
be obtained at the shops. and there
are numerous places where one can
take the material itself to be stamped.
This Is a much better way sometimes.
for If one has something delicate to
embroider. the ink in stamping. If not
used with great care, may spread and
spoil the work entirely.
Some girls meet on summer after
Moons and embroider together. Fancy
ties, plain linen Dutch collars and all
kinds of bags, from common dust
bag to a smart street bag, are fash
ioned after the prettiest models.
Our illustration shows a Dutch col
lar and tie with ends, both made OF
white linen and embroidered In SIM
pie design.
These may be embroidered in a
short time. The best materials should
be bought for embroidery. for when
much work is put into garment, one
wishes to get much wear out of 1t to
pay for the time spent on It.

Both Cases In Point.

How Roman civilization stretched
out its tendrils from the throbbing
nerve center, Rome, and brought into
peaceful subjugation the barbarity of
all Europe. supplanting tribal rule
with municipal culture, without once
outraging the traditions of the con-
quered tribes, was the story told by
Prof. James Smith Reid of the Uni
versity of Cambridge. England, before
the Lowell institute in his lecture on
the municipal side of the Roman en-
pire.
Prof Reid declared that the idea
which once was so widespread among
historians and students of Roman con-
iitions that the Romans maintained
but one form of government for the
cities has been overthrown by new
.vidences on the subject in the form
Of fragments of various forms Of
codes of municipal law. A notable
example, the one where the most COM
piete code remains to posterity. is the
old Greek city of Tarentum. whose
municipal code when IL came under
the Roman franchise is practically
complete. The Romans would not lay
down a general rule for the govern
ment of their municipalities, but each
was adapted to the needs of the COM
munity and the phase of its civiliza-
ton.
Scholars little recognize the amount
Of work which the Romans had to do
In civilizing italy itself. Without in
any way practicing tyranny the Ro.
mans first Latinized and then Roman
lied the cities coming under their

RELIABLE DATA
REGARDING FEED
E X d er m e mt 8 to Obtain b g (
Method of Feeding Steers
Briefly Summarized
"Long-Eed" Best.

(BY PROF. j. II. SKINNER, INDIANA
EXPERIMENT STATION)
Experiments to obtain reliable data
regarding the best method of feed
ing steers, considering the length of
the feeding period, show the following
results briefly summarized:
A short feeding period necessitates
the purchase of heavy feshy steers
which would usually be marketed as
killers.
"short-fed" cattle consume a great
er proportion of concentrates to rough.
age than "long-fed" cattle.
"Short-fed" cattle made a greater
daily gain per head than "long-fed"
cattle.
In the first test the total amount OF
corn necessary to finish each steer
was "a bushels In the "short-fed" lot
and 54.6 bushels in the '1ong-fed" lot;
In the second test 425 bushels in the
'short-fed" lot and Gil bushels in the
'long-fed" lot.
During the period when both lots of
cattle were in the feed lot there was
ing the heavier, fieshier steers.
In the first test the margin neces.
sary to prevent loss on the "short-fed"
cattle at the time of marketing was 4S
cents per 100; on the "long-fed" cat.
tie at the same time 80 cents, and on
the "long-fed" cattle at the time OF
marketing s1.04 per 100.
In the second test the margin neces.
sary to prevent loss on the short.
fed" cattle at the time of marketing
was 92 cents per 100; on the "long.
fed" cattle at the same time s1.O1
per 100, and at the time OF marketing
si.54 per 100.
The cost Of gains was cheaper on
the thinner cattle during the first
three months of the test, but when fed
to the same marketable finish the cost
Of gains was practically the same.
In short-feeding cattle for late sum.
mer and fall markets it is necessary
to start with very fieshy feeders OF
excellent beef type in order that they
will not sell In competition with west.
ern grass-fed cattle.
Additional data viii be necessary
before definite conclusions may be
drawn as to the profits resulting from
these two methods of feeding, due to
the many variable factors which have
a direct bearing on the profit and loss
in cattle feeding.

The designs which are the most

Last autumn 1t became the top OF
fashion to have ones gown draped
with Chantilly lace shawl Carrots
were ransacked and heirlooms we're
handed over by grandmothers to
young women. The shops themselves
did not offer the shawls. Probably
the manufacturer did not know there
was going to be such demand for
the article.
Now they do know It. and although
they have not turned out the real
shawls. the shops are offering yards
of Chantilly lace in all the lovely old
patterns at any width needed.
1t is to be quite the fashion to have
net tunics and sleeves edged with mar

The great advantages of this rota.
tion of hog pastures are that we can
produce pork very cheaply; we can
produce it with very small amount
of labor, as we let the hogs do their
own harvesting, and we have consid-
erably less feed to haul to them than
where they are handled entirely; and
lastly, our hogs are maintained in a
healthier condition because of their
great range, their change Of pasturage
and the changing OF their pastures

To cure "scary" or nervous horse
none but gentle measures are of any
use. To whip horse for shying at
an object only makes him the more
afraid OF 1t, as of course he will con.
meet the whipping with it.
Sometimes horses are made scary
by having their foretops hanging over
their eyes. which gives objects the an.
pearance OF moving.
When horse SHES at an object
speak kindly and reassuringly to him
and gently urge him up to 1t. let him
