him to emphasize beauty. or course the major
iy of our sitters want us to paint them as beauti-
full as is consistent with the laws of art. A
woman of thirty has developed. She has learned
the value of dress, how to attire herself in a
manner that enhances any physical charms she
may possess. Girlhood lacks the development OF
more mature age. Therefore, a woman of thirty
may present a far more attractive appearance
than the girl in her teens or just past the twenty
mark.
The woman beauty at fifty is less in evidence
than the handsome feminine in her teens or be-
low the age of thirty. But ] have seen handsome
women at fifty; women whose features. whose
personalities and whose physical development
struck me as being amazingly handsome.
From my view / don't think dress has much to
do with good looks. The true lover of beauty
gazes and can enthuse over cut of features and
tint of complexion without dwelling on clothes.
l'consider a woman between the age Of eighteen
and twenty to be in the bloom of youth. Natur.
ally, youth is attractive; it is like a rose in its
br1ll1ancy beneath a light morning dew

producing foods. During the entire
time they should receive a few hand
fuls of %sunflower seeds each day, as
these are very good in helping to
loosen up the feathers. Feed with
care, however, as too many would
have a bad effect, causing an unnat-
ural molt.
Plenty of meat and green food are
very essential to getting fowls through
the mott successfully. Give them lots
of green cut zone or ground beef
scraps, and all they will eat of vari-
GUS kinds of green stuff. grass and,
vegetables. A little linseed meal.
added to the mash two or three times
a week, will be found to be very bene-
fetal at this season.
See that the fowls have cool, fresh
drinking water at all times. Keep
down lice and mites. as many of the
deaths during the melting period are
caused by these pests and not on &C
count of any hardship attending tho
melting process, as many people sup
pose. Provide dust baths in which the
fowls may wallow whenever they
want to, and these will help to ex
terminate vermin as well as furnish
healthful exercise and pleasure to the
birds.

found her in a dingy little opera house

Paris had heard of her.

sILAGE MAKES BEEF PROFITS
Conclusion Taken From Bulletin by
Experts of Indiana Agricultural
Experiment Station.

The addition of cor silage, once
daily to a ration Of shelled corn, cot
tonseed meal, and clover hay, re-
duced the cost $1.83 for each hun
dred pounds of gain and increased
the total profit $685. per steer.
The addition Of corn silage twice
daily to a ration of shelled corn, cot
tonseed meal, and clover hay, re-
duced the cost $3.17 for each hun
dred pounds of gain and increased to-
tai profits $11.19 per steer.
The substitution Of corn silage for
clover hay in a ration of shelled corn,
cottonseed meal and clover hay re-
duced the cos $4.35 for each hun
dred pounds of gain and increased
the profits $17.97 per steer.
The more nearly corn silage re-
places the clover hay in the ration,
the cheaper was the gain and the
greater the profit.
The silage used in this trial con-
tanned an unusually high per cent. OF
dry mattre and was, Judging from pre-
vious experience. more efficient for
fattening cattle than silage containing
a higher per cent. Of moisture.
A ration of shelled corn, cottonseed
meal. oat straw and corn silage Twice
daily proved to be as efficient for fat
tening cattle as a ration of shelled
corn, c~ottonseed meal, clover hay and

The above conclusions are taken
from a bulletin by Messrs Skinner and
King of the Indiana agricultural ex-
pertinent station giving the rsoalts Of

and taking on the richness of a valley flower
before the touch of whitening heat.
From thirty-fve to forty takes us to a period
where the average human unschooled in more
than a superficial appreciation of beauty might
remark that righteousness was giving way to
the ravages of age. 1 have found many, many
beautiful between the ages of thirty-fve and forty
positively handsome.
This brings us to the half-century mark,
where woman has all the strength of character
impaired by a lifetime of observation. Here en-
tiers personal magnetism, a factor which fig
ures largely in the determination OF beauty. If
face, form and temperament harmonic, she is
placed in the category of the lovely.
81 have seen women fifty years old who I con-
sidered exceedingly handsome
Edwin Blashfeld, mural decorator, says:
There are four types or ages of beauty-chil-
dren, who are most handsome; youth, between
the ages of sixteen and nineteen; middle age.
ranging from twenty-five to thirty, and women
who are mounting the ladder of time toward the
half-century mark.
Il have seen many handsome women at forty
five and fifty. Sometimes wrinkles are exceed
ingly beautiful in women Of that age. Persons
who use their brains a great deal in after life
generally are exceedingly attractive. Wrinkles
enhance this type.
81 have no particular choice of beauty as re-
CARDS age. l use models from nineteen to thirty.
but by no means do I consider they are the en-
bodiment of all that is beautiful"
Harrison Fisher, illustrator, has his personal
'oSISo do SSdlu liz : Ol CHdTUlDS women.
Il prefer the beauty of a woman from sixteen to
twenty-eight,' he says. Between those periods
of life I consider her the most charming because
she embodies all the spirit Of youth, the innocence
of girlhood and lacks the veneer Of worldliness
that comes to a woman later in life. But ! am
not decrying the attractions of older women.
l have seen them at thirty and thirty-ive and
even. forty whom / consider more handsome than
girls. l know women Of fifty who l consider
embody all the elements of general beauty. They
may have lost some Of the fairness of their girl
hood days, but they have made up for it in physi-
cal development, in mental sharpness and in the
strong characteristics of the face.
There are so many good-looking women in
New York it's hard to pick out any particular
beauty of any type or of any age. Women all
are to be admired"
Irwin Wiles, eminent portrait painter, who has
daily opportunities to observe types OF beauty, is
more lenient as to advanced age than either Mr..
Fisher, Mr.. Bremen or Mr.. Blashfeld.
Il have seen women who were handsome at sew
enty," he declared. A woman at thirty may be
far more handsome than one at fifteen or eight.
cen. They say age is no respecter Of beauty,
but you may reverse it and remark that beauty is
no respecter of age. Much of the secret of
beauty depends upon the physical and mental
care a woman takes Of herself. The portrait

subject as he does for the medium that permits

PROPER CARE DURING MOLT
Hens That Have Completed ProcessS
and Regained Normal Condition
Before Winter Most Desired.

The early-molting hens are the most
desirable ones, because they will have
completed the process and regained
their normal physical condition again
before winter sets in, N therefore
will be in better shape for the arrival
of cold weather and will lay more
eggs The hens that are not well
clothed with a new coat of feathers
by the time the weather turns cold
will not prove very profitable as win
ter layers, because cold weather will
still further retard the mott and the
fowls will suffer quite a bit with the
cold.

stating the proposition conversely,
that cultivation is not beneficial to
h corn plant, except insofar as re-
moving the weeds are concerned.
The reasons why uncultivated land
kept free from weeds should yield
practically as much corn per acre as
that given the most approved modern
cultivation are not clear. The results,
however, point strongly to the con-
clusion that the principal object Of
cultivation is the destruction of weeds.
Where the weeds are kept down by
some other method cultivation seems
to be Of no particular advantage. This
is contrary to the accepted teaching
on this point, and the conclusion is
stated only tentatively.
Ii 1t be true that weeds make the
cultivation of corn necessary the
problem Immediately presents itself
as to what farm management methods
a be pursued to eliminate or reduce
to a minimum the weed pests of the
farm. Our present implements for
cultivation are designed primarily to
produce a mulch and stir the ground.
Weed killing Is a secondary function.
1t Is possible that newly designed i'm.
plements made with special reference
to weed control, could accomplish
this end with greatly decreased
cost.
In summing up the results Of the
experiments of the 125 corn growers,
1t is shown that the weeded plats pro-
duced 95.1 per cent. as much fodder
and 99.108 per cent. as much grain as
the cultivated ones. If there was any
difference between either set of plats
In regard to t~horoughness in keeping
down the weeds it was in favor OF the
cultivated plats. Although it remains
to be demonstrated how far this prin-
ciple may be applied in any particular
section, as a general average for all
the regions In which this work was
done it may be concluded that the
proposition just stated Is substantial
ly true. If this be accepted, weed
control becomes the principal object
OF corn cultivation.

KEEP HENS IN GOOD FLESH
Keep the Fowls Busy, Feed Them All
They Will Eat and They will Make
the Best Records.
(By M. PuRvIs.)

Hens that are kept thin in flesh will
not make good egg records. Professor
Rice of Cornell, had a lot of hens killed
and their laying condition noted, dur
ing his absence. He then examined
the carcasses and was able to pick
out the best layers by simply choosing
those which showed the most fat. Keep
the hen busy, feed her all she will eat
and she will make the best record pos
sible.

fPRAH MAKES CHARGES AGAINST
\ T'REYNoLDs' AGENTS.
Prebs 10 Used as the Lev9r-Investi-

s. Cases Are On.

Washington. Aug. 9.-Charges that
department Of justice agents had in
vestigated federal judges to influence
their action in cases in which the
government was interested, were
made in the senate on Thursday by
Senator Borah and indorsed. in part
at laast, by Senator Norris.
SCI hator Borah's charge was brought
out by report from Attorney General
McReynolds, responding to a senate
resolution asking where federal
agents were investigating judges
The resolution reflected some senti-
ment aroused in the case OF Federal
Judge Speer OF Georgia. whose court
had been Investigated and who had
attacked the department of justice in
public speech. The attorney gener-
ais reply to the inquiry was that any
report that the federal department Of
justice was maintaining a system OF
esptonage over judges was entirely
without foundation"
Mr.. Borah responded with the
know this Is very serious
charge" said he, but am 80 reliably
informed that | make the statement
that within the last four or Ave years

with view to in
judges"
Senator Norris declared he did not
have all the information Senator Bo-
raR had. but believed his statements
we're based on fact.

clared that only three judges had been
investigated. One OF these was Rob

HamIett Makes Another Arrest.

J. w. Baxter, county superintendent
of schools, was arrested at Lawrence
burg. KY. charged with the illegal
trafficking of examination questions
The warrant was sworn out by Barks-
dale Hamlet. state superintendent, of
instruction. Prof. Baxter waived an
examining trial and was held over to
the November grand jury of the An.
derson circuit court in the sum OF
$500. The warrant of arrest is the
result of a confession, alleged by de-
tectiyes to have been made by E. d.
Burton, in which Burton states that
Baxter turned the questions over to
him to be sold for $50, $50 of which
was to be returned to Baxter and the
other s20 to be retained by Burton.
1t is probable that other arrests will
follow soon as Superintendent Hamlet
and the detectives have discovered
that several other persons are connect
ed with the trafficking In examination
questions in an entirely different way
from that alleged to have been prac-
ticed by Baxter and Burton.
