The loss in this country due TO the

enormous waste. which could in a
arge measure be saved were eggs
given reasonable care from the time
Of laying until they reach the CON

xhy such care should be given: ID

cumstances, as said before. the foal

chance. will grow up into a better
horse than ii pampered from its

that the average farmer is not by

answer may be given that at this
point the professional breeder may be
taken into account He is usually
fixed to rear stations after they have
reached the age of twelve or fifteen
months. 1t is not at all uncommon to
find young well-bred draft stations

STOCK FOR WINTER FEEDING
Select Thrifty Yeariings or Two-Year-
Ods for the Greatest Gain
for the Food Consumed.

In selecting steers for winter feed
ng select good, thrifty yearlings or
two-year-olds. Yearlings will make
the greatest gains for the food con-
sumed.
Select steers of average weight, $50
to 500 pounds. The latter part OF
this month or early in September is
the best time to buy. The cattle
should be turned on closely grazed
pasture for few days until they re-
cover from the railroad journey. II
the clover is rank turn them into the
field for an hour or two on the first
day or so, and only when the clover
Is dry. When accustomed to the clover
they can be left in the field day and
night. See that the cattle Lave shade
and water. Good Durhams or short
horns will make the largest gain
Buy only as many as you can feed
from the homegrown feed Do not
pay TOO much for the cattle and dc
not buy poor, thin stock, even If they
can be bought cheap.
A grain farm of 100 acres, under
good tillage, should be able to fatten
20 to 80 head of steers during the
winter from homegrown feed. with
the addition of few tons of pur-
chased wheat bran and inseed or
cottonseed meal.
The farmer and his help can care
for this number of cattle and attend
to the ordinary farm work By feed
ing all the forage and most of the
corn grown on the farm, and selling
the wheat and a portion of the corn,
piling the manure for the fall seed
Ing and lining the clover sod for the
corn. the fertility of the land can be
kept up and a fair return made on the
investment.

There is nothing more important in

they are apt TO jump forward into

Blood Tells in Beeves.

A western experiment station led
six carloads of cattle. one lot as good
as they could buy. the other as in
ferior. The good cattle were eighteen
months old and cost s44 head; the
inferior cattle were three or four
years old and cost 1872 The first lot
produced 100 pounds of beef for every
1000 pounds of dry matter fed; the
second. II pounds. Though the good
cattle cost heavily at the start. the
profit was SIS steer; on the poorer
cattle the profit was s5.4S head.

Io Cure scours.

half hour until relieved. Put It In a

good way TO drench calf or colt is to

MOST INTELLECTUAL WOMAN

Madame Curie bears the distinction
of being the most intellectual woman
of her age. Her work is largely in
that branch of chemistry known as
iadio-activity. Together with her
husband and Professor Becquerel she
discovered radium, a wonderful sub
stance whose possibilities we are just
beginning to suspect. During the
past year she has discovered another
element five thousand times rarer
than radium. The new element she
has named polonium. from the fact
that she is a patriotic Pole.
Madame Curie is a quiet, modest
woman and attractive in personality.
She is intensely interesting as lee
turer and severely exact in her me-
thods. Her modesty, quietness as
well as her exactness in method come
from her early associations in the
University of Warsaw before the
suspicious eyes Of Russian officialdom
