twenty years has established the
standing Of the successive crop of

element withdrew. The detection be-
gan several seasons ago when Major

throughout the Roosevelt regime was

Collapse of Washington's Famous CotiIIon Club

Last year things got worse and even
the lances of criticism assailed the
bachelors, whose dances careful moth
ers considered bit too blase for the
debutantes whose coming-out hereto
fore had not been considered properly
accomplished unless they appeared"
at least at the Bachelors three yearly
Germans" The turkey trot was one
of the first wedges, the introduction OF
bridge whist tables where some pretty
high play was possible was another
disintegratory feature, while the habit
some Of the young matrons had Of go
ing out to the smoking rooms and puff
fling a cigarette or two between dances
was yet another phase OF the bache-
lors' later dances which more careful
mothers refused to view with favor.
Anyway this season the Bachelors
fell through, the last president. Law
renee Townsend, former American
minister to Belgium, resigning and the
general committee going out with him
and leaving the old organization with
its new membership floundering.
The Bachelors, under Major McCaw-
ley's regime, first attained the dis
tinction of having the mistress OF the
White House stand as hostess at one
of the first dances each year. Mrs.
Roosevelt and Mrs. Taft both re
ceived" for the Bachelors at least
once each season. For resident hos
tess" one of the smartest of the resi-
dent. set stood as sponsor while al
ways the second or third dance had
for its hostess the wife Of one OF the
ambassadors.

CLEAN FEED LOTS
PAY GOOD PROFITS

Discussing the causes that operate to
prevent the making Of satisfactory
gains on cattle, Il Missouri correspond
snt OF Iowa Homestead calls attention
10 the Importance OF Keeping the feed
lot clean and comfortable. He says:
Many men have failed to make u
profit from feeding live stock for mar
ket because they have failed to pro,
vide clean and sanitary feed lot for
their fattening animals. Live stock
that are compelled to wade knee deep
in the mud and sleep In damp. un-
sheltered places cannot mako satisfac-
tory gains in flesh condition.
Every feed lot should be provided
with windbreak on the two sides
that are most exposed to the coolest
winds and storms, Water tanks should
be placed In an elevated position. for
many times the fattening animals will
90 without water rather than wade
through deep mudhOle to get to the
drinking place.
On the farm where considerable
straw is produced it should be used
In liberal quantities about the feed

lots. Some of it will be eaten and the
balance tramped into the mud to make
manure and keep the yard dry. In
applying straw to the surface Of the
feed yards large application at first
is better. as it will form layer be-
tween the soil aud the balance of the
straw and manure and make It much
easier work to clean the yards thar
when little at time is hauled to the
yard, and it is tramped into the mud
and mixed, adding much to the bulk Of
the manure ard making It harder to
work up when the yards are cleaned
In the spring after the top soil and
manure have become thoroughly mixed.
BY making the feed lot comfortable
for the stock. by using the straw In
the feed lots and stables. it is where It
should be in the spring-in the manure
heap-and not in nnsightly piles In
the field to be worked around or moved
out of the way. Few farmers realize
the increased profits they could make
from their feeding operations If they
would make their animals comfortable
The comfort that can be had by keep
ing the feed lots clean saves much
feed, besides causing the farmer prac-
ticing it to take more pride in his bust
ness.
To this might be added that in many
cases muddy feed lots are partially
due to the fact that no attempt is made
to prevent the water from the roofs Of
farm buildings from flooding the yards.
Compared with the daily cost Of feed
ing a bunch Of cattle the cost Of n
small amount Of caves troughing is a
small matter, and where bedding IL
scarce caves troughs alone will often
make the difference between foul feed
yards and yards that are reasonably
clean.

Lonasvity Of Dairy Cows,

Professor G. H. Eckles of the Mis-

Investigations along the line Of thu.
profitable longevity of dairy cows in
part as follows
Probably the majority Of dairy cattle
are rejected from the herd on account
Of failure to breed or from udder trou-
BILE before the effect Of advancing years
can be observed to any marked extent.
It is a fact often observed that COW
may make her best record when ten or

she does her best rather earlier. II a
dairy COW continues to breed she usu-
ally shows no marked decline until at
least twelve years old. Occasionally
q COW continues to breed until she 10
