herd was dispersed. Hence the pre-
vailing opinion that Shorthorn cows
of exceptional dairy qualities should
be sought among those carrying an in
fusion of Bates blood has founda-
ton in fact; yet there are exceptions
and some notable ones.
Amos Cruickshank, who drew the
attention of the beef producing world
to the excellence of the Scotch Short
horns, by the wonderful fleshing quail
ties he had bred into his herd, was
not unmindful of the dairy qualities OF
his COWS, and in that mavelous herd
of beef cattle were many matrons

To produce strong, healthy pigs,
they must be looked after before they
are born. The SOW must be cared for
and fed properly if she is to give birth
to a good litter of pigs AS a rule, the
SOW is neglected during this period,
the owner seeming to think that the
application of care and feed after she
has narrowed is all that is required.
We should know that a poorly nour-
ished mother means a weak, sickly
litter of pigs.
The question of shelter is an impor-
tant one, whether in the northern or
southern states, although in the south
the far south especially-very little
shelter except at farrowing time is
needed. At narrowing time the mother
should always be supplied with build
ing that will afford shelter from the
rain and the wind for both the mother
and the pigs until the pigs become

MAKING Pretty Ornaments

Women and girls with time on their
hands and ideas aplenty for their own
adjoining are using both to make dainty
little chains and ornaments for day
and evening wear
These new Jewels are easy enough
to make-there are gold beads, corals,
French pearls and semi-precious
stones, which may be procured singly
or by the dozen and combined in any
one of dozen or more odds or unique
fashions.
A girl may show her artistic taste by
the colorings she combines or the de-
signs she works out and it will be
easy to plan ornaments to fit ones
blouses, gowns or temperament, if she
so desires.
And since one may employ mock
Jewels, the finished ornaments, chains
or pendants, need not cost so much as
to greatly disturb ones allowance OF
make deep holes in ones purse.

grace in outline is the paramount idea
in spring shapes and is more highly
regarded than any other feature This
is a good sign. So far there seems to
be an absence of freakishness this sea-
son, in any direction.
It looks as if flowers were to catch
the fancy of all women young enough
to wear 1ower-laden shapes. They
are so pretty. Both the hats and
flowers come in great ranges of lovely
colors. Milans in the yellow or nat
ural color and hemps in all colors give
a choice from grave to gay and all
the notes between.
There is a shape for every face 1t
is very essential to pick out the most
becoming one and this is a serious
matter.

and also big money for London mer-
chants, hotel keepers and others. So

ONE IS SENT TO JAIL.
Camorrist Prisoner Is Sentenced for
Contempt of Court.

Viterbo, Aug. 1.-The trial of the Canon
rists for the murder of Gennaro Cuoc-
colo and Sonora Cuoccolo was interrupted
today while one of the prisoners was
tried, convicted and sentenced to two
months Imprisonment for contempt of
court. The one to feel the displeasure
of the court was Salvatore De Lucia who
was arrested by MarescialIo Capitzutti
charged with having been one of those
who condemned the Cuoccolos to death.
On examination he said he was a clerk
in the employ of the White Star steam
ship line and that he had been mistaken
for another man by the authorities. In
summing up his defense, when Intercepted
at the trial, the man declared
1.-The truth Is that I was arrested be-
cause 1 refused to buy a new dress for
the wife of Maresciallo Capizutti."
When the proceedings opened today
Captain Fabroni of the Neapolitian Cara
bineers was further Intercepted regard
ing the evidence which he has given
Delucia as a supporter of the Camorra
when the latter interrupted to ask how
the witness knew that to be true. Fabroni
answered:
IT know it from the Camorrists."
De Lucia replied sharply:
You are a Camorrist yourself"
Public Prosecutor Sanford at once de-
De Lucia was tried for contempt of court.
President Blanchi agreed and the offend
ing prisoner was forthwith arraigned.
Several witnesses were called and on the
conclusion of their testimony Bianchi
condemned the defendant to two months
in prison, but allowing him three days in
which to make an appeal. DeIucia, how
ever, waived the right Of appeal and the
way was cleared for a continuation Of the
CamorriStS trial.

that Senator Bailey of Texas refused

the only Democrat to vote against it.
Democrats and insurgents were ready
for the defeat Of the measure. While
several of them had sOted for II, IL was
apparently underst TODD if it was defeated
it would be resurrected, amended by
compromise agreement and again
brought to a vote. Senator LaFollette
of Winconsin, Republican 1nsurgent,

the bill, made the motion to reconsider
the vote. 1t carried without a roll
