LOOKING TO The FUTURE
AS Much Reason for Business Woman
to Save as There Is for
Business Man.

The average business woman has
never learned to save. She goes at
it spasmodically. She revels in a
virtuous streak, when half of each
weeks salary goes into the bank, and
then she revels in a reckless one,
when it all comes out again.
Nobody wants to be "a calamity
howler, nobody wants to preach the
hard time that's coming. But there's
a difference between dismal forebod-
ings and ordinary foresight.
The average girl who earns good
salary, either in business or a pro-
fession, looks at the future rather
lightly.
Perhaps in the background Of her
mind she imagines that she will be
married some day, and that will
settle it. But there have been some
cases where matrimony did not solve
the financial question. The price
of home would be welcome sight
to many woman who has counted
on marriage as an excuse for not
thinking it necessary to look ahead.
A new suit and a good time are
pleasant enough today, but there is
a vast difference between the woman
who is alone at fifty with good
bank account and the woman who is
alone at fifty without one.
If We are going to pride ourselves
on being efficient business women,
why don't we carry the thing clear
through and try as hard to make a
few good investments for the future
as our brothers do?-Exchange.

DAZED THE CRANK.

David p. Barrows, while acting
president of the University of Cali
fornia, one day received a queer WIS.,
itor. Lean and terribly earnest, the
man broke into Barrows' study.

nounced, "and | have need for your
service. The world is soon to como
to an end. Could YOU not spread the
tidings through the university"
Doctor Barrows shook his visitor
by the hand, collected his thoughts
and replied: 81 believe that at no
time was there such a crying need
for prophets. But, unfortunately,
prophesying is an art with which |
am unfamiliar. | an no, even in
close sympathy With it, and, as | am
unable to comprehend what YOU have
accomplished, l confess inability to
participate as a prognosticator."

ply or the quick fire of SO many words

known. Certain is is the man backed
to the door and uttered the made

There are few more effective agen-

jumped off in fright from the
crackle and flame. If it is true, as a

that a passenger on such car has
been killed by lightning, it will be an

FATTENING CATTLE.
Grain Ration Should BE Light For the
First Few Weeks.

Grain Ration Should Be Light For the
First Few Weeks.
To my mind the first and most i'm
portant step in fattening cattle Is to
have an abundant supply of good feed.
writes H. w. Swope in the American
Agriculturist Throughout many Sec
tons silage is regarded as an absolute
necessity. However, there are per-
haps some places where roughage can
be more cheaply supplied. but even in
such localities something succulent in
the form Of silage Is very essential for
best results. In my particular case we
use hay and corn silage. Both are
palatable and are fed separately for
the sake of variety.
A bunch Of fattening cattle getting a
good feed night and morning of cut
straw and silage mixed ten hours be-
fore feeding and all the clover hay
they will clean up nicely at noon will
be well of for roughage. l do not
know of any other ration on which cat
tie can be kept so full all the time
without putting them of their feed.
Every experienced feeder will agree
with me that the secret Of success in
beef making lies largely in knowing
how to keep the cattle full every day.
The ration should be palatable at all
times. The grain may be fed at night
and morning mixed With cut straw
and silage. During the early part Of
the season give very little grain. The
allowance is gradually increased each
week after the first few weeks. Con-
siderable quantities of grain are vast
ed by overlooking in the early part Of
the feeding season. 1t is very easy
matter to completely ruin the digestion
of an animal by feeding too much
grain for any considerable length of
time
A mixture Of grain | find always
gives me better results than any single
variety fed alone. when cattle are
put on heavy ration Of grain they
make rapid gains for time. perhaps
for two months. and then they seem to-
come to standstill and make little or
no improvement. Therefore the point
to be determined Is not the amount of
grain we can get an animal to con-
sumo. but the amount 1t is able to
digest and assimilate properly.
do not know Of any grain that will
put so good a finish ON cattle as peas.
refer to Canadian field peas. A little
pea meal fed during the last few
weeks Of the feeding season makes the
cattle more firm. and they weigh n IT.
tie better. but this must be fed in
small quantities to give the desired re-

PROFIT IN RAISING
HEAVY 'DRAFTERS

The big horse is at the top Of the
equine heap. He is in demand every
where. says Better Farming.
OF course one cannot raise big horses
from ponies. The first essential Is good
draft breeding. The mares should be
mated to the pure bred stallion. which
weighs around "A ton and is sound.
And the more drafty are the mares,
the more drafty the colts will be. Ev-
cry farm should have work mares of
high grade or pure bred draft breed
ing. They should do the work handily
and raise valuable. high priced colts
besides.
But some farmers mate their mares
to big draft stations and then raise
mediocre small colts. Why is that? 1t
is usually question of not enough
feed.
After all, wise feeding is the pre-
requisite to raising big horses. A
farmer who is stingy with his feed had
better try something else than the
draft horse business.
First Of all the dams of the colts
should be well fed, SO that nursing will

SUGAR BETS FOR HOGS,
Hoots Provide a Valuable Addition to
the Winter Ration.

,All the root crops are valuable in the
feeding Of live stock. In countries
where root crops are easily grown they
are fed in large quantities. and 1t has
been found that pound Of dry matter
contained in the average root crop is
euua. In feeding value to pound of
dry matter In corn or similar concen-
trated feeds.
The sugar beet is richer In feeding
value than most OF the other root crops.
due to the fact that 1t contains large
amount Of sugar. says the Kansas
Farmer Sugar beets will form very
valuable addition to the diet of the
hogs during the winter season and.
when grain feeds are scarce. might be
relied upon quite largely in the winter
ing of stock hogs. They can best be
preserved by storing them in some sort
of root cellar or pit in the ground. 1t Is
necessary to prevent them from freez-
ing. and stored in this way they will re-
tain their succulence through the win
ter season.

Examine tn. horse,s Teeth.

Not very many of us pay as much
attention to the mouths Of our horses
as we should. Good mouths in our
horses would prevent many cases of
indigestion. collie and lack Of energy.
Examine the horses mouth and see
that the teeth are In smooth working
condition. If there are rough edges OF
the teeth that will lacerate the cheeks
and tongue have them filed down by
a competent veterinarian. This will
allow the full chewing Of the food and
improve the general health of the
horse Decayed teeth frequently cause
an overgrowth of the corresponding
teeth on the opposite set and this over
growth should be leveled down so as
to permit the uppers and lowers to
come together and present a perfect
grinding surface.

Frequent stirring Of ripening
cream will make better favored
butter. as it causes the cream to
ripen more evenly.
Good breeding and good feed
ing are so closely related that
they must go together; one is
useless without the other.
The heifer that is to be retain
ed in the herd should be handled
from her early calfhood SO that
she will have confidence in her

It's an exceptional COW that

In feeding the cows do not give
them more than they can use
readily Any feed that is left in
the managers after the cows are
through will naturally represent
certain amount Of waste.

There is many a garden patch where
the early potatoes might be followed
by navy beans. planted between rows
Mt the time OF the last cultivation. The
beans would not only cover the ground
after the potato vines died down and
keep down the weeds. but would also
enrich the soil and help to keep it mel
