SRy NSHINGTON.-Silent, smooth eff
w cient is the business force in the
once of the nations chief executive at
The White House. The total business
staff, including ushers, messengers and
so on. numbers little more than 40. And
the modest one-stOry office annex to
the White House does not represent
more than fraction of the floor space
occupied by many Il large corporation.
Handling the White House mail is
one of the heaviest responsibilities of
the business done there. 1t is doubt
Jul if there is any other place where
the incoming mail varies so tremen-
dously from day to day. In addition,
there is a. rule that every letter ad-
dressed to the president shall be ac-
knowledged from the White House,
even though it is referred to some gov
eminent department.
Moreover, there is rule also to the
effect that every letter received must
be answered within "a hours unless
exceptional circumstances make this
impossible. This policy of promptness
taxes the resources of the White House
business establishment when, as some
times happens. the daily receipts jump
to 1000 letters or more often more.
1t is only fair to say, however, that
such circumstances are exceptional, al
though many newspaper readers have
been led to believe that the president
received at least 1000 letter every day
of his occupancy of the Office. AS
matter Of fact, there are weeks at a

SEVERAL DANGERS
IN BREEDING EWES
Lamb That Is Bred in First Year
Will Remain Stunted-Much
Food Is Wasted.

It is natural that lamb should put
in its first year in growing, both in
height and breadth as we'll as in vol
ume The feed consumed should con-
tribute to this end. When the lamb
is bred, much of the nourishment in
tended for itself must go toward the
nouriShment of the foetus. For that
reason the development of the mother
is retarded, and, in fact, is never
again resumed to anything like the
degree first seen.
A lamb that is bred in the first
year will remain stunted. Even it's
wool will fail to make anything like
normal growth. The first years wool
crop is usually counted on to be the
largest, but it is little to boast of if
the lamb is bred. Like TISSUE wool
REQUIRES feed to promote it's growth,
and when the feed has to be used for
other purposes the wool does not
grow.
1t may be argued that heavier feed
ing of the lamb would overcome these
objections, says New York Farmer,
but as matter of fact there is max
imum amount of feed that the not
yet fully developed digestive system
of the lamb cannot handle, and be-
vond this amount the food is voided
from the body in an unassimilated
state, without doing the lamb any
good. Rather will it exhaust the ener-
gies of the lamb still further to han
die this mass of food from which it
cannot derive any benefit.
If an unusually fine lamb resulted
from the breeding of young eve,
then there might be some reason for
sacrificing the growthiness of the
mother; but as matter of fact. quite
the opposite condition holds true in
the majority of cases An immature
eve seldom produces a sturdy lamb
Her offspring is usually lacking both
in size and vigor and seldom proves
to be a growthy. prolific animal
The reasons for this are obvious;

OF Black Charmeuse.

The feature of the skirt lifted by
means of a few plaits is as universal
now as the train. On a lovely afternoon
dress of black charmeuse the skirt was
thus lifted beneath three very large jet
buttons, and the fullness was Topped
round towards the back in graceful
folds. The corsage of this gown had a
very elegant sailor collar of fine lace
and revers of the same in front, max
ing a charming little heart-shaped
opening, which just revealed the col
lar and guimpe of fine net. A fiat
waistband of the same silk with long
fringed ends covered the union of
skirt and corsage. The sleeves were
long, and set we'll below the turn of
the shoulder with piped seam.

CORN SMUT is
VERY INJURIOUS
Only Way to Control Disease Is
to Destroy BaIIs-Change
of Land Benefits.

(By E. M. FREEMAN. Plant Pathology
Mimi
Corn smut may occur upon any part
of the corn plant; it may also infect
any young and tender part, at any
stage of the corn plants life. During
the winter the spores live in the soil
or in manure. In this respect corn
smut is different from the grain
smuts; in none of the latter is there
any appreciate danger of infection
from spores which have lived over in
the SOIL In the spring the spores ger
inmate, producing long chains of new
spores, which are blown about by the
wind and infect any growing part of
the corn plant, producing, finally, smut
balls. The spores may live in the soil
or in manure piles for years. This, Of
course, makes seed treatment useless;
and the only way to control the smut
is to destroy all smut balls, when pos
sible, to prevent them from shedding
their spores on the ground or into
manure, and avoid placing fresh
manure on corn land. Changing corn
land from year to year also is bene'
fetal.

Cattle raising for beef in Argentina,
especially in the temperate zone, is
much more favored industry than in
the United States. The climate makes
1t possible for the entire life of cat
tie to be spent out of doors without
shGlter and generally without shade
of any kind. Alfalfa grows most lux
uriantly, and the suitability of a very
large acreage for the growth of that
crop and of other nutritious indig'
enous and introduced legumes and
grasses, together with cheap land and
labor, makes 1t possible to produce
beef cheaply. To any one unacquaint-
ed with the possibilities of the coun-
try, the degree of fairness which the
cattle acquire on grass or alfalfa
alone is a marvel. Corn feeding as
supplement to pasture for beef pro-
duction is extremely rare. Beef-mak-
ing in Argentina at present there
fore is practically strict pasture

There is quite an extensive area

as yet. and probably for some years
to come, this product will be either
exported or used for horse, dairy COW,
and pig feeding. Only the flint varie-
ties are grown generally. 1t is evil

carried germs of typhoid fever, and OF

thousands of infants every summer.
Now, the black indictment is in

First, the lack of competent develop
ment of the mother and the some
what imperfect functioning of her va
rious organs; and, secondly, the ex-
istence of such conditions of affairs
that the food which should go to the
nourishment of the foetus must be
utilized in part for the upbuilding and
growth of the mother.
A flock in which a practice of
breeding young ewes is made deteri-
crates rapidly, and in a short time
understood, weakly and ungrowthy
sheep will be found in it. The man
who desires to maintain size and
growth in his sheep, to keep up high
wool yield and to improve his flock in
general should not yield to the some
times great temptation to breed his
young eve lambs.

The speakers gavel was tattooing vol.
legs of protest and the intrepid Mann
of Illinois was upsetting all hopes by
his constant objections. There was a
din that gave one a headache. A
French woman was in one of the gal
leries, the guest of some member of
the judiciary committee, and Mr..
Speight was showing her around, and
at the particular moment when the
noise was at it's height in the house
she turned to her guide and said:

A new model in very fine mouse
gray cloth is very chic by its abso-
lutte simplicity of style. The corsage
and skirt have the appearance of be-
ing all in one. The bodice part has a
plain pinafore effect, with long, loose
armhole reaching to the waist. The
sleeves are braided all over in tones
Of gray soutache, a panel at the side
continuing in the form of a deep band
round the bottom of the skirt in the
same soutache braiding. The sash is
wound round the waist and tied on
the left hip with a full bow and ends
This sash arrangement is in gray soft
Liberty satin, toniAg in with the other
shades of gray.

absorb, and indeed already absorbs,
practically the entire amount of beef
produced here, thus rendering our ex'
port trade, and consequently foreign
competition abroad, an unimportant
factor in the industry. The chief con-
Germ of beef producers in this coun'
try should be not what effect will
South American competition have
upon our export trade, but what eff
feet will the possible importation Of
South American beef to the United
States have upon the production of
beef cattle here.
That corn, and likewise corn-fed
cattle. can be produced in Argentina,
Uruguay, and some other South Amer
lean countries is an assured fact. The
extent to which 1t will be fed to cat
tie, however, is limited by the rela-
lively small production Of corn and
further by the fact that it is a new
industry and will not gain favor rap
idly because it involves more crop
ping and labor and considerably more
expense
1t is significant that the expansion
of cattle raising in Argentina has
ceased, and largely because grain
growing is proving more profitable
than cattle raising. The beef product
will be much improved but the supply
available for export doubtless will not
increase more rapidly than the COM
bined factors of increased population
there and among nations consuming
her surplus, and the relative decrease
Of beef production elsewhere. South
American beef surplus will be in
strong demand; obviously countries
willing to pay the highest premium
for it will secure it. Again. the cost
of production is sure to increase with
increased cost of labor and land.
Under such conditions it is not antici'
pated that the business 'of raising
beef cattle in the United States will
be menaced permanently by Argen-
tine.
