The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-02-01

Olympia's Fern, a registered Jersey
cow, owned by e. L. Brewer, Satsop,
Washington, by producing Is, 147.9
pounds of milk and 937.8 pounds of
butterfat in one year has contributed
her share towards putting Washing
ton on the map as one of our leading
dairy states.
By producing this amount Of milk
and butterfat, Olympia's Fern has
shown that it pays to be born and
bred in Washington. Although this
is remarkable record in itself, this
cow has proven herself to be of un-
usual merit in other ways. The test
stated above was preceded by her
three year old record of IL, 344 pounds
1876 ounces of milk, and COG. pounds
5.4 ounces of butterfat-t in itself
enough to stamp her as an outstand
ing animal, and by which record she
won the gold medal offered by the
American Jersey Cattle Club. She
is steady performer at the pail. the
last record following 45 days after
the completion of the first without
being dried off during the meantime.
OIympia's Fern Is a show COW of the
highest type having been out on the
fair circuit part of the time while
under test, and has brought to her
owner cups and ribbons to vouch or
the fact that type and production
can be found in the same animal.

reason for the high production be-
comes apparent.
1t would seem that production of
over 5000 pounds of milk would
necessitate exceptional care and feed
ing, but such did not apply to this
COW. She calved on the 14th day of
April and began her record on the
Goth of the same month, being four
years eleven months Of age. Begin
ming on the 1st OF May she was MIXED
three times day until October Goth
when two milkings were resumed.
From calving time until the LIST of
November Olymp1a's Fern had access
to a clover and timothy pasture, no
other roughage was given her during
this time except when she was out on
the fair circuit. When in the stable
she was treated as one of the herd
being turned out every day from IL a.
m. until 3p. m. Quoting Mr.. Brewer
when speaking of this COW, GAL
though she was treated as one of the
herd, she was given every little atten-
tion and sympathy that every COW
desires, such as loving pat, or lit
tie baby talk as he passed her from
time to time.
In her feeding she was given very
little extra attention, she was fed
grain three times daily when she was
MIXED three times, and fed twice,
morning and evening, when she was
MIXED twice daily. When on full
flow of milk she had all the grain
she would eat without wasting, feed
ing her about one pound less than
she was expected to eat, and then
giving her the extra pound II she
seemed to crave 1t. She never refused
her feed during the year except once,
the 14th of September, when she was
in heat. Twenty and one-half pounds
was the heaviest, and six pounds the
lightest feed of grain during the year.
Giving an idea as to the combination
of feeds, on the 1st day of June with
a production of 81. 5 pounds of per
cent milk, she was fed five pounds of
ground barley, six pounds ground

This shows that the cost of produc-
ing one pound of butterfat to be
little better than 10 cents. which fact
alone stamps this COW as being one of
great merit. None but exceptional
animals of any of the breeds can con-
vert 80 little feed into so much milk
and butterfat.
Owing to extra care, thought, and

oats and bran, two pounds of oil meal
and one pound of oat meal. On the
1st day of July with a production of
67.5 pounds of per cent milk, she
was fed four pounds of ground bar
ley. one pound of ground oats and
bran, three and one-half pounds of

pound of oat middlings. This shows
conclusively that the common feeds
fed in simple proportions to the right
COWS bring results.

DOLL AND PICKLES
BY AUNT GERTIE.
CHAPTER IL.

Ot1EaL 1 Liz liz
Why, there sat Doll L the Grass
on tiny chair. She was so lovely
and SO smart.
Where are you going?" she asked,
SO he told her all about how he was
one of twelve sons sent out by the
King father to find wives for them
| selves. He also tod her they were
ordered to get wives who could spin,V
weave and sew a shirt in day.
But If you will only say you will
be my wife 1 will not go d step far
ther," said he, for he had fallen In
love with the little Doll at first sight
She was quite willing. SO she set
about spinning, weaving and sewing
the shirt at once.
10 was very, very, very tiny, just
about-so long.
Pickle set off home with 1t as soon
as II had been completed, although
he felt ashamed Of 1t because II was
SO small.
still, the king was settled and said
Pickles could have the little maid for
ms wife. Pickles rushed back as
fast as he could to get her. When
he rea he'd Doll l. the Grass" Pick ed
wanted to take her up on his horse.
But she was so small he could not
do II.
mo, I win ride In a silver spoon"
said she. 81 wiH have two white
horses to draw me, too"
| So off they started: he on his horse;
she In the little silver, spoon.
What do you think? The two horses
were two tiny white mice,
Pickles always kept the other side
OF the road because he was 30 afraid
that he might tip the little maid over
| out Of the bowl OF the spoon.
| After a while they came to a big
sheet OF water which they must cross.
Pickles's horse SHE'D. jumped across
the road and toppled little Miss Doll
out of the spoon.
She fell into the water and Pickles
moaned aloud. for he thought he had
lost her.
But pretty soon the unexpecesd
happened!

Such a Serious Quarrell
Dear Miss Door

Dear Miss Doom:
I have known u young man for
years. Last summer ! stayed at
his home for few weeks, and we
had serious quarrel, and have not
spoken since. Lately 1 met him at
a friends house, and we did not
speak. He kept looking at me
across the table, but always
dropped my eyes (but don't think
he noticed it.) When 1 said some
thing comical he laughed with the
others.
When went home I said, good
bye, ALL" but he did not answer.
He expected me to speak first, but
l did not like to give him the sat
isfaction. What shall I do?
LENA C.
The first thing you must set your
self to do Is to cultivate a little
common sense.
Do you realize that you were rude
to your hostess when you refused
to speak to one of her guests, no
matter what your private differences
were?
If you are anxious to be friendly
with. the young man do not be
silly about which shall speak first.
Naturally, he will wait for you
TO take the initiative.
Wellbred men do not thrust their
attentions upon girls who do not
seem to desire them.

Never Were There So
Many Kinds of Muffs

The muffs of velvet. taffeta and
the heavy ribbed silks, combined with
fur, are quite as smart this winter
as those of fur, says an exchange.
Some are made of the suit ma
teria', others contrast IN color and
fabric.
There Is a wide difference also In
the shape of these made n1uffs.
There is the fiat piece of material
bordered with fur and devoid of
stuffing, the hands to be tucked into
a little silk bag attached to one side;
and opposed to this Is the large,
Fat, barrel-shaped muff, often orna-
mented on one side by the entire
pelt of the animal. "a
Still another new shape Is reminis-
cent of the early COS, when women
carried small, oddly shaped muffs.
In fact It has been many years
since NUTS Of so many widely diff
ferent sizes and shapes were consid-
cred fashionable.

She's Determined to Bleach
Her Hair

Dear Miss Doom:
Would you please give me u
remedy for large pores? About
year ago you told me to use some
thing, and It was fine, but l have
forgotten what 1t was. I think it
was benzoin and alcohol, but am
not sure. Please tell me again.
Miss Doom, my hair Is a very
dark brown, and am very anxious
TO change 1t to golden brown. I
have used henna leaves often, and
have had no good results. l am
quite discouraged, but l am de-
terrnined to have it. Gould you
recommend something?
TWENTY ONE.
Hot witch hazel, applied with
cloths after the face has been
thoroughly washed and rinsed, is
excellent for large pores. Use it
before retiring, never In the day
time before going out.
Do not expect your pores to de-
crease rapidly. 1t will be. weeks be-
fore the Improvement begins, You
must be persistent. &
Another way is to rinse the face
carefully in hot water to which a
little benzoin or canphor water has
been added and then in cold water
to which benzoin or camphor water
has been added. would suggest
that you pay strict attention to
your diet. {.t =
Do not eat rich. greasy foods, and
do not indulge In candy and sodas
between meals. Also avoid tea and
coffee, but drink plenty. OF cold
water instead. Exercise q great
deal In the open air. and sleep with
your windows wide open at night
think you are very foolish to
wish to change the color OF your
hair. A girl with bleached or tint
ed hair is q slave to her locks.
The bleach works out toward the
ends, and q new supply must be
applied close to the scalp, and the
hair grows uglier and. uglier, be-
cause the ends are bound to grow
lighter with each application.
If you brush your hair thorough
iy every night, using at least hun
bred strokes. it will attain gloss
that will be very beautiful. Also,
1t will be easy to arrange, and you
will not regret that you refrained
from bleaching 1t.
However. IL you insist upon hav-
ing directions for making henna
