Improvement in the average quality

ers aud the sooner they come to real
lie and appreciate the value of, and to
demand the services of, good. sound,
pure-bred stations, the more certainly
and rapidly will the general average
of our horses be improved. 1t Is the
intensified Inheritance resulting from
many generations of breeding the best

always with the same ideal and pur-
pose in mind, that enable the pure

his off-springs. The grade" With two,
three or four topcrosses lacks this in
tenslfed inheritance of characters and
his diversified inheritance precludes
his use as a sire. These are facts. not
theories. Practical illustrations MAJ

ask what is meant when certain un-

RHINESTONES MUCH IN FAVOR
Really There Is No More Effective
Trimming for the Smart Afternoon
or Evening Dress.

Rhinestone trimmings are promi-
nent for evening wear, especially in
the simple outlining form suitable for
edging tunics, necks, sleeves and edg-
ing elaborate scarfs of chiffon or
mousseline. Rhinestones in combina-
ton with jet are formed into hand
some floral and scroll effects. Rhine
stone and pearl slides and ornaments
are used for catching up draperies.
Narrow Chiffon pink rosebud trim
mings continue to be fashionable. Fur
bands in skunk mole, fox, ermine and
sable continue to be much used for
trimmings. Fur is often used in COM
bination with metal with excellent
effect. An elaborate evening wrap or
gown may be trimmed with a light
weight metal band outlined with mar
row strip of fur.

FEEDING SHEEP
DURING WINTER
Value of Regularity in Care u
Animals Demonstrated by
Experiments.

Sheep should be fed regularly l.
the winter. In fact, as Much depunS:
on the regularity of feeding as on tt.
feeding itself Those WHO are famil
lar with the characteristics of sheep
know that they always become rest
less about feeding tiM&A
The value of regular feeding has
been demonstrated W experiments
with two flocks, at Il certain western
agricultural experiment ration. One
was fed daily at six o'slock in the
morning and again e. the evening,
while the other was fed at different
times during the day. The result was
that the flock fed regularly turned
out in a thrifty condition in the fol-
lowing spring. while the others were
thin and sickly.
Many Of the latter flock had died
during the winter, fully eight per cent.
Of the lambs had either died at birth
or made only a stunted growth BY
feeding at a set time every morning
and evening better resuitE will be at

care of sheep are regular feeding

AS we are now in the annual season
for colds, word on the subject will
be timely. A writer in the Physical
Culture Magazine tells us there Is
much misconception regarding the
origin OF colds and that they are not
caused by draughts, damp feet or ex'
posture to the cold, but by an accumu'
lation of waste materials In the syG-
tenn that, for some reason, have not
been expelled in the normal manner,
Exposure. dampness and draughte,
says the writer, occasion the cold, but
the condition Of the system Is the real
cause Of the malady. II the system is
IN a healthful condition, almost any
amount OF exposure may be expert
enced. and no Ill results will follow,
but one is much more susceptible to
colds when the abnormal condition
prevails This condition is caused by
the failure Of the sc"vengers Of the
human body to properly perform their
functions. The body Is then in a
semipoisoned state, and when in this
state the cold is easily contracted. But
It is not the exposure which is the
cause of the cold 1t is only the oc'
casion--the last straw. and the real
cause is to be found in the condition
Of the system.

PLANTING FRUIT
SEEDS IN FALL

Winter to Cause Them to
Sprout in Spring.
CBy w. l. HowARD)

Large seeds like peaches and plums
may be planted in the fall, and theV
will freeze sufficiently during the win,
ter to cause them to sprout readily in
the spring. Small seeds like the apple,
grape, etc, should be mixed with sand
in the fall or early winter, and placed
in a shallow, open box. The box
should be set fat on the ground on
the north side of building where 1t
will keep moist and remain there al
winter to freeze and thaw as Otter
as 1t will. The contents of the boz
should never be allowed to dry out
Very early in the spring, just as sooI
as the soil in the garden will do t.
work, the seeds should be planted in
rows and covered very lightly. The
seeds may be separated from the
sand with a sieve, but this is unneceg-
sary, as sand and all may be sown In
the row. Take care that the seeds do
not become dry before they are plant
ed. Apple seeds begin growing very
early, so that care must be taken to
get them in the ground Aefore sprOut

Careful consideration must be exer-
cised when selecting boar for herd
Of sows. The future usefulness and
development of his offspring requires
thought and good judgment at the
mating period, says R. II. Stone in
National Stockman. We cannot af
ford to use a scrub or a pedigreed
runt under any consideration. Re-
member there are about 1000 pigs in
the first ten generations, and it is
essential to develop them along pro-
titable lines. One day spent at mat
ing period, regardless of distances, to
dnd a good pure-bred boar will OBJ
Viate a year of disappointment.
A litter OF eight good pigs from
pure-bred boar mated with a choice
SOW will require less feed, and when
grown will produce so pounds Of
meat per pig more than scrubby ones,
thus making 400 pounds of additional
meat without additional expense. Our
grows eight pigs to maturity twice a
year is a more profitable SOW than
one that produces more pigs and fails
to develop them.
Usually the sow has sufficient milk
for eight. and when they are allowed
to suckle six to eight weeks the pigs
are in prime condition to wean with
put having any. setback. The sow can
generally be bred successfully on the
third day after weaving, and it is no
trouble to have her produce two lit
,ers per year II you give her the
proper attention. Watch her on the
