All cattle are divided into or fall
into certain classes according to the
work they do to best advantage. In
other words. the disposition they make
Of the feed they consume over and
above the amount needed for main
tenance determines this class.
When we take into consideration
that cattle are only machines for con-
yerting hay, fodder and grains into
some product for human food, and
they are the only machines or fac
tories known that will convert those
materials into beef, milk, butter and
cheese, We get much clearer concep-
ton of the real meaning of beef cat
tie, milk cattle or butter cattle.
By beef cattle we mean those types
of cattle which will use their surplus
feed to best advantage in the manu-
factrue of beef. OF this type we have
three proninent breeds: Shorthorn,
Hereford and Aberdeen Angus. While

Surely, If we wanted a plow we would
rot go to the store or factory and buy
a Syracuse beam, an Oliver chill mold
board, South Bend landslide and a
Mount Joy point, and go home on the
back porch, take clawhammer and
q, monkey-wrench to make a pillow of
these parts. Well, it is just al alb
gurd to think we can make the differ
ent breeds of cattle fit together and
do the desired work well. -
| take it we do not expect to- raise
beef cattle, or any others for that
matter, except for the profit they give
us in consuming the products Of our
own farm, converting them into beef
and establishing a new channel
through which to market these prod
ucts.
Then, if this is our desire, do as we
would in purchasing a piece of ma
chinery for any other purpose-buy
the machine that was manufactured
for that particular purpose, End buy
the best. The best is the one that will
do most satisfactorily the greatest
amount of work and at the least cost.
! am a great believer in beef cattle
when we can make them consume OUR
farm crops at market price and save
the trouble of hauling these away.
Unless we can figure market prices
for our crops fed at horne, then the
feeding or raising of cattle becomes a
burden and not profitable business.
Yes, they should do more than this.
They should make us profit above
all cost of feed, labor and incidents
which always enter into any business
proposition or venture.

Sitting in his cfficG recently and
looking upon the old sea chest which
contains the records of that fateful
day at Manila, asked Admiral Dewey
what was uppermcst in his mind the
night before the battle of Manila,
when he contemplated entering a har-
eor mined with torpedoes. His eyes
sparkled as he replied:
"All night and all morning my mind
had reverted to one picture-that of
Flag Officer Farragut, whom l first
met at New Orleans in 1861. There
were no admirals in those days, the
captains being the highest ranking
officers, and our commander was the
flag officer. We young cadets grew
instinctively to admire the intrepid
Farragut, and that night at Mobile
will never be forgotten. when his
voice rang out loud and clear:
Damn the torpedoes-full speed

would ring In my ears every time

Cuff Sets of Heavy Lace.

Heavy cotton trimming, which has
been used great deal this season for
linen dresses, has now another use, as
it has been found most effective for
collar and cuff sets. The trimm ming is
four or five inches wide, solid part of
its width and having an open basket
mesh for the rest of the width. 1t has
the ratine effect, which is so fashion
able this season.
