horses.
A heifer twin with bull seldom, if

ought to be treated as such.

feeding value of the alfalfa plant.
Orchard grass makes a better mix
ture with clover than timothy does.
Cream for churning should be al,
lowed to sour at about 65 degrees F.
Calves should have daily outdoor
exercise when the weather will per-

ride, shaking dice with the Grim Reap
er and so far every time she has won

game as far as Lorena LorenZ is con-
cerned, will be over.
The real reason back OF her retire
ment is not known. She smiles when
the question is put to her and says she
is tired of the publicity. Some say
that love has entered into her life and
that for his sake she will forsake her
dangerous occupation even though she
has no hopes Of ever winning him.
The cloister, she says, has always ap-
pealed to her and she made up her
mind long ago to enter a convent when
she could no longer perform her haz-
ardous feat. Whatever the reason,
Lorena Lorenz will not be seen another
season in the act which has made her
