charming mixture for her whose skin
is fair.
Now that earrings have again come
into fashion women Of all ages and OF
all ranks of life have taken to wear
ing them, quite regardless of the fact
as TO whether they are becoming or
not. This. again. is an instance where
woman's love Of fnery has overcome
her better judgment. Women with
large, prominent or i'll shaped ears
should never don this style OF orna.
ment, and long ear, even though it is
exquisitely shaped, is not improved by
the addition of earrings. On the other
hand, tiny. shell-like ear is beautiied
if dainty drops are worn. The oriental
style Of earring should be worn by
that type of woman who can only be
described as exotic. and diamonds give
harsh appearance if the skin is at all
inclined to be sallow.

directions:
Take OF the tires, clean outside care
fully, removing all dirt, oil, grease and
foreign material. Do not allow water
to get inside the casing. II any OF the

tire inspected by competent repair

HOW TO STUDY CHARACTER.
Interesting Use of Mental Powers Is
Close Observation of Faces,

Study the faces you see and try to
form some idea of the characters OF
their owners. Notice ears, noses
mouths, eyes. chins. Observe how few
beautiful mouths and ears you viii
find compared with other features. II
is an interesting use Of your mental
powers, this study Of faces, and will
teach you sympathy, If nothing more.
If you find yourself without faces tc
study. then memoriZe verses. phrases
or numbers to retain your memory
Learn to recall the numbers Of a doz
en- or score of your acQuaintances
homes, instead Of always referring to
an address book.
Commit the words of songs to mem
ory even If you do not sing-it will
make you popular with people who do
or memorize a dozen lines of prose
from the daily paper If you have moth
ing else at hand, just for practice.
1t is better than allowing your brain
forces to become weak and slipshod
from lack Of direction.
Make the most of the odd ends OF
time, and you will make the most OF
yourself with little cost and no loss.

BUTTER PRODUCTION.
What Little Thinking Has Done For

the Daryman.
The average farmer has but little
idea, we are convinced, Of the wide
difference there is in cows or in the
systems of management, says Hoard $
Dairyman. Wherever we have taken
COW censuses the farmers were grca:
~ surprised ut the difference in results
hs between different herds. That
shows that to the mind Of the average
farmer the yield per COW or per head
is, as he supposes, about the same.
Yet it is quite common TO find one
herd making double or more than dou-
BILE the clear profit that one may he
bn an adjoining farm.
Even on experiment station farms.
where everything is supposed to be
done scientifically, they demonstrate Il
wonderful difference in cows.
The Minnesota station found cows in
is herd which returned S55.54 while
alongside Of them other cows returned
feed, which was the same in each case.
The Michigan station found it's cows
varied from s6.1S to s94O5 after the
feed cost was reckoned. The New
Jersey station shows that, calling milk
worth 81 per hundredweight, its cows
varied from 13 cents profit to S49.72
rhe Connecticut station figures show a
difference as between the poorest and
he best cows Of S2.76 to s54.72.
Now, there are thousands Of farmers
who are keeping these low paying cows
and don't know It Something is the
matter, but they don't know what.
lhey know that they are getting
mighty little out Of their cows.
We can see by this how necessary it

THE HoRsEMAN.

The collar is the harness. See
to 1t that the collar fits. Collar
boils are caused by Ill fitting
collars.
The levelness with which
horse walks is one of the best
evidences that ais legs work In
harmony.
The good fat knee, the muscu-
lar arms, the full muscular
shoulders. the good hook are all
important points in the horse.
Quality in form, disposition
and general conformation must
be coupled with the size and
, style to get the best in each class
of horses.
A check rein is unnecessary
cruelty. For the horse that oc-
casions trouble by reaching
down after grass or corn try q
muzzle, but leave his head free.
The quantity Of food given the
horse should be regulated by the
size and breed OF the animal and
by the amount Of work he is re-
quired to do.
A man with an ungovernable
temper should not be trusted
with q horse any moro than a
drunken chauffeur should be al
lowed to drive an automobile.

BREEDING FlLLlES.
Well Finished Drafters May Be Bred
at Two Years of Aqe

Well Finished Drafters May Be Bred
at Two Years Of Age.
The advisability Of breeding fillies at
two years Of age is an economic ques-
ton which is frequently considered
and concerning which there is q great
deal OF difference of opinion, says the
Pennsylvania Bulletin. 1t may be
said in the first place, that all depends
on the flly. Horses Of draft breeding
mature much earlier than the hot
blooded sort, so that a draft filly at
two years Of age is often as forward
as one Of trotting breeding almost or,
fully a year older. Again, there is a
great difference in individuals and the
way they are grown out. Usually a
smoothly turned, neat. well finished
youngster makes its growth much
sooner than an apparently rougher but
growthy individual, although, as
rule, the latter attains eventually to a
much greater scale. Furthermore, the
same individual may be grown out in
much less time in the hands of the
feeder who keeps continually doing"
than when required to make all her
growth on pasture with a material set
back due to improper feeding each
winter season.
1t does not seem feasible to include
in this discussion any but the well ma
tured draft FLY, she being the only
one which should under any circum-
stances be bred as a two-year-old Il
is not reasonable to suppose that from
the point Of view Of the filly herself
