pounds of corn. Begin with light
ration and work up gradually to the
maximum They should be ready to
market the latter part of July.
Prime corn-fed cattle are scarce
during the summer, as most of the
feeders in the lots are finished and
shipped out before this time. The
packers must have cattle with some
finish, and they pay a good price to
get them. Coming on the market at
this time, the steers fed on grass will
bring almost as good price as sto :k
fed full grain ration in dry lot.
The success of this plan OF feeding
is due to the low price at which the
cattle can be bought and the thin con-
dition of the animals coming in the
common class of feeders. Making eco
nomical gains is not a breed but q
type characteristic. Often the best
and poorest gains made are by indi-
viduals Of the same breed.
Less labor is required with SUNNI er
feeding. The cattle gather their
roughage, and the manure produced
by them Is distributed, and evenly. In
winter, dry-lotfeeding steers are fed
ration of IS to 22 pounds of grain
and to pounds of hay apiece, when
on full feed.

THE UNpERsIDE OF THINGS.

There are many women who have
established a reputation for good
housekeepers because on the surface
and things in sight were always kept
neat and in order. while disorder and
even filth might run riot in unseen
corners and out of the way places.
No room in the house rAeds such
care as the cellar, and she who throws
things into and makes dumping
ground of the cellar. closets and dark
places Is not deserving OF the name
Of good housekeeper."
Cellars where fruits and vegetables
are stored shoulS be carefully aired
and all decaying vegetables removed
at once
Be lavish In the use OF lime as
cleanser; It is also an excellent disin-
fectant. An open box OF 1t is an or
nament In any cellar.
The average housekeeper is con-
stantly talking about good or bad
luck" In regard to housekeeping; In
cooking especially. II we turn this
matter over and look at II from both

such thing as luck. We are success
full in our undertakings only as we
meet and fulfill conditions, and when
J the conditions are not fulfilled we
have what is termed bad luck"

Headgear Must Not Only Be In Fash
lon, But Should Have Many Other
Requirements.

Edith NJ, weidenfeld, writing of the
spring ha Pm Woman's Home Compan-
ion, says ldlat the arrangement of the
hair plays q more important part in
millinery than the average woman ad-
mits. The average woman, when se-
lecting a hat, has an idea that she
ought to get the newest in color, shape
and trimming, regardless of its rela-
ton to the shape Of her head, the
contour of her face, or the arrange
ment of her hair. She wonders, then,
why she does not like her hat after
she has worn 1t, and 1t to es sveral
long interviews with her mirr6 before
she realk ss that the hat Which (the
saleslady assured her was the nswest
thing. and becoming, is entirely inap-
propriate and unrelated to her o;l9e
particular style.
Miss Weidenfeld goes on to give the
news about spring hats. Following are
brief extracts:
Stiff, heavy straws are no longer
rnodish; they have been succeeded by
soft Straw braids, and many of the
new models are covered with ~tatfeta,
either plain or in changeable fleets.
Trimmings are slipping around to-
ward the front, many being placed at
the direct front, and others at the side
very near that point. For dress hats,
ostrich plumes are fashionable for
trimming. They lie quite flat against
the hat, under or on the brim, or they
stand up very straight and stiff. A
single ostrich plume, or two or three
tips in prince of Wales style, are more
appropriate for spring wear than q
cluster Of four or five feathers with
heavy iues. Wings and ornaments
made OF fabrics, lace and straw braid
are in good style, and SO are bands OF
Irish, Venise or macrame lace"
