that it takes bone and muscle to make.
Two good bone producers which are
used a great deal are wheat bran and

should always be before young stock.
These should be further supplemented
by gTanulated bone or crushed oyster

let the youngsters have the run of

why Little Women Faseinate.

Little women appear to fascinate
men more than big ones do. Perhaps
it is because they look up to men,
and so appeal to their chivalry. They
are less Independent by nature and
more cenfiding. A little woman al
ways strikes man as being more Or
less helpless, and he wants, If he is
manly nan, to shield her, il neces-

A bridegroom gave his best man an
envelope.
Hand it to the parson after the
ceremony he said, but don't do it
ostentatiously.'' ~
The best man followed instructions,
but it seems that he performed his
task too covertly, for the father Of
the bridegroom, after the pair had
departed, believed that an omission
had occurred and quietly pressed a
banknote into the minister's hand.
But he also was too secretfve about it,
and before the party broke up the
brides brother felt called upon to
draw the minister aside and thrust a
$1O-bil upon him.

tons. and are unable to top the mar

disadvantage the second feeder gets
