DOES IT PAY TO FATTEN7
II You Have Enough Cows Finish
Calves Yourself and Save Money.

II You Have Enough Cows Finish
Calves Yourself and Save Money.
W. +. Ward Of the bureau Of animal
industry, department OF agriculture,
and D. r. Gray OF the Alabama sta
ton have been cooperating in an ex-
pertinent in feeding yearliug calves,
the work having n direct bearing on
the question Of raising and finishing
animals on the same farm.
They are authority for the statement
that the farmer who has as many as
thirty breeding cows on his farm
should make IL a rule TO fatten their
offspring himself. He can seldom at
ford to sell the calves 10 the profess
sional feeder. The feeder usually
makes money on the process Of fatten-
ing. and the man who raises calves in
sufficient numbers should keep this
extra profit at home.
There are many ways Of disposing
Of beef calves or cattle, and the farm
er should be watchful to avoid meth
DDS by which money might be lost.
II Is possible to raise beef cattle prop-
erly and by selling them improperly TO
lose money on the business in just the
same way that it is possible TO raise
good apples, potatoes and peaches and
lose money on them when the market
ing part of the business is not studied
and given proper attention. When
beef cattle are bred. fed and marketed
in a scientific and b-usinesslike manner
satisfactory profits should be realized.

n 1918 WOMAN

The spring maid of 1918 is to be
straight front, straight back. hipless
and c~urveless. If fashionably attired
she will look like a straight line, with
an oblique line at the top, said oblique
line being her hat.
Skirts are to be perfectly straight,
looking like an envelope. Jackets are
to be the same. Narrow skirts will
prevail; hence they will be slashed so
that the wearer may move with the
same degree of safety. The slash may
be in the back, front or side. The
slash will extend to a point just below
the knee and will be skillfully con
cealed by plaits.
For plump, rotund women, who can
not wear the positively straight lines,
the fashion makers have taken a les
son from the unspeakable Turk. For
plump women there will be skirts Of
the voluminous, sheetlike robe of the
desert roamer. drawn tightly about
the ankles and full mt the top. Orien-
tai colors also will be drawn upon
heavily in the new styles.
Returning to the slender woman,
jackets will be cut on the same
straight lines as the skirts. The cut
away pattern will prevail. and this
calls for some decoration to fill in the
front. For this purpose there will be
a waistcoat, exactly like a mans vest.

coat will be striking. of stripes and

Ing. the greater our degree OF prepara-

the war department fears trouble with

While, as an officer Of the army.

that any plan which seeks to make the

Is a step In the right direction.
