Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1912-01-25

The bachelor girl, especially at the
outset of her career. Is usually bright,
jolly, In love with life and the good
times she Is having. Every one likes
her because her outlook on life is so
CHEEKY She is welcomed everywhere.
Her social calendar is usually filled.
But If she wants to continue popular,
II she wants her life to remain inter
esting she should as the years slip by
keep strict watch and ward upon her
self.
For this gay, careless life of the
bachelor girl is apt to make her self
conferred self absorbed. She grows
selfish, She is apt to be concerned
only with herself and her own ar
fairs.
And gradually, little by little. lovable
ness slips out of her character, and be
fore she knows it life will not be full
OF bloom and fragrance. There will be
barren spots. 1t will begin to take ON
the hue of the desert And unless she
needs these signs of the times she
will come TO II rather desolate old age.

Googoo Eyes Make Turks Happy.


1.-THE maidens of Turkey have learn
ed to make American googoo eyes.
They have learned to tlirt like an
American belle or a Paris girl"
So said Sidkey Bey. discussing the
new regime in Turkey today. He was
formerly second secretary to the Turk
ish embassy at Washington, afterward
acting consul general in New York.
Sidkey Bey Is here with his wife,
handsome and talented. He went on:
''In the old days woman in Turkey
couldn't flirt because her glances were
wasted on the wrong side of her veil
Now she can use her eyes to advan-
tage, and she knows it. The Turk
knows it, too, and is glad she does not
wear the veil.
"In these days the American court
ship is carried on in Turkey. The
young man calls ut the girls house
and even goes so far as to take her
out for n walk just like the American
CT Englishman. Then he pops the
question, and If she accepts they are
eventually married II some other fell
low does not come along whom the girl
might like better"

CORN SILAGE FOR
FEEDING STEERS

Angus cattle have for many years
been a feature on my farm. because
with stock l have always been able to
rotate land, and consequently | believe
l grow larger crops of grain, writes
a Minnesota farmer in the Ameri-
can Agriculturist. When cattle are
grown in connection with grain farm
ing it necessitates the raising of feed.
and nothing is better than good corn
1 have also silo and find silage an
excellent feed to fatten stock.
No great precautions need be taken
regarding protection or shelter except
that breeding stock should have ac-
cess to warm barn. Feeders do well
if they have shelter during the coolest
weather or stormy periods. The feed
ers are given some grain. but l can
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1912-01-25

fatten steers on silage morning and
evening and timothy hay. Then l give
the steers silage in the morning and
evening, hay at noon. With this meth
cd rapid gains are made, and they are
fat enough for market at winter
To effect cheaper beef production
the silo offers the easiest and most
satisfactory solution, as heretofore the
feeder has had to risk the chance of
small gains through the high price of
feeds as well as of actual loss through
having bunchy steers, those with poor
feeding qualities and others.
A farmer states that he has actually
made 90 cents bushel ON his corn by
feeding it with ensilage when the mar
ket price of corn was 40 cents a
bushel. He says that every feeder of
experience will testify that the most
economical way to feed steers is to
give them corn silage, ear corn, a few
pounds of hay and linseed or cotton
seed meal. Then he should have two
shotes to follow each steer.
There is probably no building which
can be erected ON the farm at any
thing like an equal cost which will
pay as big dividends as will the silo.
