HOW TO HOLD AN UMBRELLA.

II Is Dangerous to obstruct Your View
With It On Windy Days.
There are a great many persons in.
jured on windy, rainy nights because
they hold their umbrellas down In or.
der to protect their faces from the
driving rain," explained an ambulance
surgeon. "In their desire to protect
themselves from the rain they place
themselves in grave danger Of being
struck and run over by surface cars,
automobiles and other vehicles.
III you wish proof of my assertion
just stand in a doorway some night
where you are protected from the rain
and where you are in a position to see
an expanse of thoroughfare which all
kinds Of vehicles use. You will be sur
prised at the large number Of persons
you will notice crossing the thorough
fare with their umbrellas held down SO
far that it is impossible for them to see
anything approaching. They eel OBJ
livious Of danger, and a spectator
would suppose from their actions that
there was not the remotest chance Of
an accident occurring.
ut is a fact that many pedestrians
are injured on windy, rainy nights.
With their umbrellas pulled down SO
that it is impossible to see ahead or to
the sides. the pedestrians walk in front
of vehicles and are knocked down and
injured before they realize what has
happened."-New York Sun.

But how should he Go this! He
would have done it long ago if he
could. He had thought of frightening
her into it by some drastic measure,
but in that case there was a possibil-
ity Of his breaking with her altogether.
He had finally concluced to set a lin

that the clock might strike 8 till the

adopt it she would decide in his favor.
The result would be accomplished by
stratagem, but he considered that the
end justified the mems.
When he went back to her in the
evening he had a new silver half dol
lar and a new quarter in his pocket.
He called at half past 8. He skirmish-

drew forth Il half dollar and said:

FEED IN THE OPEN SHED.
II Cattle Are Confined 1hey Dont
Make al Good Headway.

There has been some difference OF
relative merits Of open shed feeding
and feeding in inclosed quarters. Some
Of the leading experiment stations or
the country have recently conducted
experiments along this line. At the
Missouri station steers fed in u barn
made a daily gain of IL pounds. while
another lot Of the same age and breed
fed in an open shed made Il daily gain
of 10 pounds. The s;lme lots of steers
gained s.. pounds daily for each busliei
of corn when fed in an open shed ana
only 40 pounds when fed in the barn.
The steers fed in the open shed ate
1913 pounds of digcstible matter per
pound of gain. while the barn fed
steers ate 11.3 pounds Of digestible
matter per pound.
At the PENNSYLVANIA station a COM
parison of barn and open shed feeding
has been made. Both lots of steers
were fed sllelled corr and corn silase
to the limit Of their capacity. The
barn fed lot made al average daily
SdlI lol HNC VIII VI .Io 'ouIAUo
rs compared with 2.3G pounds for the
lot fed in an open shed. The cost of
producing 100 pounds gain in the lot
fed in the barn was S11.05. The cost
of producing 100 pounds gain In the
lot fed in an open shed was $1,000.
We may conclude from these expert
ments, says Better Farming, that 1t
is not necessary to feed cattle in in
closed quarters. There IS sufficient
heat generated in the animals body in
the processes of mastication, digestion
and assimilation to maintain the prop
err body temperature. \ reasonable
amount Of cold is a benefit to such ami
mails rather than a detriment. All
that fattening cattle need in the way
Of shelter is an open shed to protect
them from rain and snow. If the skin
and hair are wet. heat is radiated from
! the body very rapidly and often in eX-
cess Of the amount produced by the d.
gestion and assimilation Of food.
