OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES oOooooOOooOOOOOo

Miss Gertrude Ainsley put on her
hat that sunny spring day and walked
down the road and over the creek and
up into the woods on the hill. There
were stately elms and beeches and
naples; the spice-bush gave out its
scent; there were violets under foot
everywhere, and the robins and blue
birds seemed to welcome an intruder
There were paths running here and
there, and as the girl took one OF them
she heard a queer sound from the
brush on her right, and investigated to
find rabbit caught by the leg in
snare.
Poor Bunny was having a hard time
of it, and it frightened him the more
as the girl approached. He bounded
this way and that and into the air
but the snare held and he cried and
whimpered and feared for his life
When the girl had come closer and
began to call him poor thing and ex
claim that it was a burning shame
the captive huddled down and stared
at her with his great big eyes. She
was stroking 1t with her hand when q
boy of twelve came running to shout:
Hes mine! He's mine! l set the
snare for him last night"
Up he came, and was about to lift
the rabbit in his arms when Miss
Gertrude gave him push and de-
manded:
What business have you sharing
the poor creatures!"
Business! Business!" he repeated
'Why any one can catch rabbits any
time they want to! He's daisy, and
the fellow will pay fifty cents for him

CURVES NO LONGER IN STYLE
Decree of Fashion Is That Woman
Must BE PerpendicuIarly
Parallel.

This is the season of the Disap-
pearance Figure.
Figures-as figures-are no more.
They make excellent clothes props, or
pillow-case advertisements. But as
figures their day Is DONE
Venus has now vanished. Not by
sleight-of-hand or force of circum-
stances, but by word of mouth. The
decree of fashion has gone forth, and
Venus has bowed to the inevitable.
Not only has she mislaid her arm; she
has now lost her shape. The curves
and contours of yesterday have be-
come the lines and angles Of today.
Women have gone back decade.
They have discarded their corsets and
curves; their broad shoulders and mar
row waists. They are now perpendi-
cularly parallel from head to heels.
In brief-they are waistless.
We do all we can nowadays to hide
our figures. If Nature has blessed
or cursed-us with few fascinating
curves, we rush to the nearest Disap-
neutrality-suspicious., and purchase
casing to fill the unnecessary spaces

PROTEIN FEED
IS DEFINED
No Word in Agricultural Ety1noL
oSy Is So Often Encountered
and Most Frequently Used
An Articles on Food.
CIV CHARLES c. wENTZLER)
~ .ro,5 T., n o,.ia,,1f,,ra1 atvm0lORV

(By CHARLES C. WENTZLER.)
No word in agricultural etymology
is so often encountered as protein.
To a person not versed in farm
chemistry the term is more or less
confusing and to many others 1t has
no meaning at all. To such people 1t
is Just an empty, technical phrase.
The word is most frequently en-
countered in articles on feeding.
Protein is the opposite of fat 1t Is
about the same as albumen.
In feeding we have two principal
classes of foods. One is the carbon
aceous or starchy foods. These go to
fat. The other Is the protein foods
These go to make milk, eggs and
meat. The protein foods are tissue
builders.
In balancing rations we have to
see therefore, that the animal does
not get too much of one kind OF food.
In feeding COW, for instance, we
cannot feed her corn alone as this
goes to fat rather than to milk. There
is some protein in corn but not
enough. On the other hand 1t would
not be advisable to feed COW food
like alfalfa, whose content Is practic-
ally all protein. To begin with fat Is
| the principle on which an animal de-
ponds for bodily heat and energy. So
COW. for this reason alone, should
have corn or other grain or hay IN
which there is starchy matter. Then,
| hos 10Q q IN
food for the milk as there Is con-
siderable fat and sugar In milk.
If, however, we feed too much
| protein some of it is bound to go to
waste. She will use half of 1t for
maintenance. One quarter OF 1t goes
to milk. From the other quarter her
| digestive organs extract the fatty
principle If there is any; II not some
! is held by the system in reserve; the
rest passes out of the system.
OF course, in feeding, we have to be
guided some by temperament, In
dividuality, and other conditions In
Guiding metabolism Metabolism is
the way the food is assimilated, or
rather it refers to the chemical
changes that the food undergoes in
the stomach. We can't say here is sc
much corn and depend that it will
make just so much fat or feed sc
much protein with the idea that il
will be converted into IN equivalent
amount of milk. Some of the fat
making elements may combine with
still other elements and be converted
into meat while the protein may be
converted partly into fat.

The writer visited pure bred flock
not long ago where the lambs were
not marked and where the owner re-
lied on his memory alone to tell him
the pedigree of each lamb. This par
ticular flock was small and the own
er's memory above the average; he
did appear to really know his lambs;
but for the most part 1t is obvious
that a written record is a great deal
more reliable proof of pedigree, says
writer IN the Farm, Stock and Home.
1t is a mistake for anyone handling
pure-breeds not to number his lambs
and keep record of them. 1t Is more
businesslike, to say the least, and GER
tainly more satisfying. One would
feel much more certain of lambs
pedigree If he saw it in black and
white In book than il 1t were re-
lated by the glib tongue of the owner.
About the surest as well as the
simplest method of marking is that
of notching the ear. Metal ear tags
pulling out, in which case their eff
cheney can be valued as nil, but the
notch II made with the right sort OF
instrument is there to stay. When
made with a round ear punch, the
two sides of the notch sometimes
grow together but when made with a
tug punch, the opening in which is
nearly an inch long and about quar-
ter or three-eighths of an inch wide,
they are there to stay.
In notching some arbitrary value
must be placed upon notch placed
In given position in each ear Elk
perience has shown that any number
can be most easily made when the
following values are used:
One notch In top of left ear indi-
Gates 1 unit. One notch In bottom OF
left ear indicates 1 ten; / notch In
tip of left ear indicates / hundred;
notch in top of right ear indicates
units; 1 notch in bottom of right car
indicates 8 tens; 1 notch in tip al
right ear indicates 8 hundreds.
The accompanying illustration may
help to make this clearer.

AZ VERY one with an eye for beau
ty values in the new styles) will
want q hair band. The hair band
is not a novelty, but 1t is a revival
which, for two reasons, has been
steadily gaining ground in favor.
Those consummate judges OF the
beautiful and artistic-the ancient
Greeks show us, in what remains OF
their art, that their women bound up
their hair with bands, and the Greek
couture, like the Greek architect, still
stands the most excellent of all
achievement in its line, writes julia
Bottomley in the Illustrated Milliner:
The demand for the band has become
so general that bands Of many de-
scriptions and styles, designed for
women of various ages, compilations
and build, are now manufactured and
put on the market, all ready to adjust
to the head
There are plain black bands of vel
vet or silk ribbon, finished with plain
fiat bow, or rosette for morning wear,
which means also that they are ap-
propriate for the business woman dur
| ing her working hours. They fasten
with one or two hooks and eyes, and
are not confined to black but are
shown in black with a little silver or
white, or in white with black markings
suitable for very gray hair.
The hair band supports the hair
which, as the day wears on, has a
tendency to sag, unless provided with
some artificial support. 1t keeps the
"scolding locks" from flying loose and
struggling about the neck and face.
The charm of neatness is hardly Sec
ond to that of beauty, and has a beau
ty of its own, which has been known to
win out over very beautiful but Sloppy
creatures. Besides these virtues tie
hair band is becoming. If the hair Is
dull and lifeless, the band brightens 1t.
The older ladies with beautiful white
hair, understand the life and sparkle
resulting from the vivid contrast of
the black velvet band, or one of vivid
green. The glow of silver strands or
the sparkle of cut steel or rhinestones
on the band makes the white couture
thing of distinction and beauty which
is different from any other. The black
hair, that is lacking in the luster and
shine" essential to beauty In dark
shades, borrows brilliancy from gold
