WILL BE A LULL IN
THE CATTLE IMPORTS
Only Occasional Shipments
to Be Made Now From
Mexico.

There will be a decided hull in the
cattle business for the next two months
and a half, say local dealers, and there
will be only a few stray shipments sent
through this city during this time. The
cause of the cessation in the cattle
shipping is given as the regular summer
season, when no cattle are moved on ac-
count of the hot weather and grazing
conditions which greatly regulate the
movement of cattle.
Added to this is the decision of the
FL Paso Livestock and Commission COM
pany to cease the handling of the Ter
razas cattle whicsh they have contracted
to buy on account of the conditions in
the state of Chihuahua. This firm has
decided not to move any cattle until
September, when it will begin again the
movement of $4,000 head which it has
bought from Gen. Luis Terrazas. So
far the company has brought only IS
600 of these cattle to the United States.
The Cameron Cattle company intends
to handle a shipment now and then
during the summer. but not to amount
to much. One of its shipments, which
is now on the road, is the movement
of 1000 head of cattle from the Creel
ranches in northeast Chihuahua to the
United States. The cattle are now being
driven overland to the border to be en-
tered at Maria, Tex, and from there to
be shipped to FL Paso.

Egg-Producinq Experiment.

At the New York state experiment
station an experiment was made to
find what effect ration containing
more than an average amount OF fat
would have on laying hens. The hens
in one pen received as much tallow as
was readily eaten with moderate
grain ration. Another lot was fed
a similar ration with linseed meal sub.
stituted for the tallow The average
egg production was somewhat in IA
vor of the hens having the linseed
meal The greater difference observ.
cd was that the hens having the lin
seed meal molted nearly all at the
same time, earlier in the season and
more rapidly. Only few of the hens
which had been fed tallow had begun

A few years ago there vas in a large

The value of the application Of oil
to cold steel ends with the saving of
friction, the machine remains the
same. Not so with the human ma
chine. The person who Is habitually
cheerful and imparts cheer to others,
stands more erect, breathes more
deeply and keeps the elasticity and
buoyancy Of youth longer; and for
this reason can do more and better
work than the impressive, unrespon-
sive, crusty individual. Women are

Keep Your Oil
Can Handy


A good farmer takes care to avoid
friction in farm machinery. He list.
ems for the teli-tale squeak and at
once applies q good lubricating oil TO
the spot. He does it to save the up-
necessary wear on the engine, reaper
or mower as the case may be. A
thoughtful housewife does the same
thing for her sewing machine, sweep
er or washing machine. If a door
hinge or the handle Of the clothes
wringer or any mechanical device
binds or squeaks, it should be oiled
at once and thus save a wasteful eX-
pendture of strength and nervous
force. Do not use too much oil or
apply it indiscriminately; use Just
enough and in the right place. 1t is
much better not to wait until there
is an audible disorder, but rather pre-
vent any possible friction by getting
ahead with the oil can.
This principle might be applied to
the various relations OF life in which
friction is likely to occur. BE ready
with your oil can. BY this we mean
a heart filled with the common milk
of human Kindness which upon the
least occasion will pour forth in
looks, words and acts. This is no
where found to be more genuine than
in the hearts OF our farmer folk. but
is there not n tendency to keep ii
"corked up?" At this season OF the
year, even cast-iron countenances are
wont to crack with sympathetic
smile, and rusted-in shoppers are
drawn to allow few drops OF feeling
an exit. Why wait for the Christmas
tide to apply our "frictioncide," or
why seal it up when the season has
passed? The farmer family in their
daily routine Of life need the give
and take of the cheerful smile and
helpful word. The formal good morn
ing" salutation of the day starts ma
chnery running smoothly. and good
night" falls like a benediction on tie
tired heart after the days work is
ended. Some men would as soon
think of saying good morning" and
thank you" to their favorite cow be-
fore and after extracting her generous
supply OF milk as to use the same
terms in his family. His COW receives
a gentle pat on the shoulder, his
family nothing. He has not learned
the value of a judicious use OF ex-
pressed appreciation; nor has it oc-
Cured to him that the failure to give
expression to his feeling OF good will
today lessons the desire and the abil-
ity to voice it tomorrow, and In time
the feeling itself is reduced to a min
imum. 1t has been said that man
is known by the position he holds
but It is more true that he is known
by the way he holds his position, be
IT an humble or an exalted one. There
are people filling very small riches
in life who are so uniformly cheerful
and courteous that they not only
avoid friction in their own small part

upon the digestion. From two TO
three pounds OF ensilage daily is a
very satisfactory and economical feed
for the eve. while double this amount
OF ROOFS may be fed safely. If ore

Grain feeding is not necessary unless
the ewes are thin and weak or just
prior 20 the Landing time.
1t is desirable for the ewes TO have
access to a pasture which has not
been graZed too closely the previous
autumn. This will take the sheep olt
into the open away from the sheds
during the day besides furnishing
some feed except when snow is too
deep. When the ground is covered
with SNOW or icN rOughage such AS
cha1f, corn stover or threshed clover
may be fed in racks or even on the
ground in a nearby lot or field. The
