BREEDING THE FARM
STOCK FOR PURPOSE
Combine Judicious Selection With
Good Judgment-Do Not
Mate Extremes.

We should breed the best, and breed
for a definite purpose.
The first requisite of success III
breeding is the love Of the animal.
All breeding animals should have a
sound constitution.
Breed only from pure-bred males.
Breed dairy cows or beef cows
never try a mixture.
Judicious selection should be
coupled with good Judgment.
Do not breed animals that have an
inherited tendency to disease.
Breed only from mature animals.
Avoid inbreeding except to render
permanent some desirable quality.
Do not mate extremes-have the
crosses in harmony.
Good care and food, comfort and
ouiatude should be melted out to every
animal bearing young.
Pure air and sunshine, pure wafer
and comfort make the only ideal en-
vironment.

Three ACES.

The new Berlin botanical gardens,
says Lustige Batter, was wonderfully
beautiful, but to small children they
are a forbidden paradise. Boys and
girls under ten are not permitted to-
enter.
Herr and Frau Muller found this
out to their disappointment when they
planned to take their little Paul on a
Sunday trip to view the beautiful gar
dens; nevertheless, they gave their
young hopeful few instructions, and
started out.
"How old are your" he inquired.
Paul answered, "Six for the electrics;
really eight; for the botanical gar
dens, ten"

Ar EARLY ali the new negligees are
gracefully to the figure by means of
odd drapings. A negligee is a neces-
sity and might just as we'll be cleverly
shaped as to hang in unbroken lines.
One of the prettiest of those which
have been recently brought out is pic
tured here In two views, showing both
the back and the front.
The material used for this garment
is pink albatross and it is an ideal fab
ric for the purpose. Others similar in
weight and general character are wool
challie, nuns yelling, Japanese crepe
and crepe de chine, light weight silks
and some fancy weaves.
The heavier cotton crepes are ex-
tensively used for negligee, kimonos
and boudoir jackets. Hand-embroidered
flower patterns in silk or cotton floss
are used literally on them and stand
the tub perfectly. The cotton crepes
are to be had in all colors. Embroidery
which is to be washed is done in white
or in the same color as the negligee
and copied from the handsome import
ed silk kimonos on which lovely trail
ing vines and scattered blossoms are
initiated in silk floss.
The favorites, those that are "best
sellers" are made of cotton crepe dec

do and rapidly worked. Great numbers

stork's Good Memory.

While visiting the Berlin geological
gardens, says Lustige Batter, little
Gretchen saw a great white bird
standing on one leg in cage. She
threw in a piece of candy; the bird
gobbled it up eagerly, and thrust its
head through the wire for more.
Presently Gretchen's mother came
along. 20 mother, see here! What
kind of bird is this?"
The mother pointed to the sign on
the cage, which read, "The Stork."
1.-THE stork!" cried the little girl
enthusiastically. 20 mamma, do you
know, he actually recognized meY

Difference In War Declarations.

There was a great difference IN the
manner of commencing a war CEN
turtles ago to what there is now. Now
the blow is frequently struck before
the word, and there is no obligation to
issue a formal declaration at all, the
act of war constituting the declaration.
But in medieval times no war ever be-
gan without a formal declaration by
herald, who, in most leisurely man
ner, breathed defiance on the part OF
his royal master, exchanged innumer-
able bows with his enemies, and de-
parted in as dignifed manner as he
came.

It's great thing to know how to
drive a team right. In teaching the
boys to drive show them that 1t is
not necessary to jerk the reins, OF

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood Is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
COMPOUND, a most valuable tonic and
tnvigorator of the female organism.

Bad Fire at
Russell House
Upper Part of the Front in
Ruins.

Fire early Wednesday morning
destroyed the top floor and roof of the
main wing OF the Russell House, and
falling debris and water partially de-
stroyed the lower floors. The office
and dining room fixtures were saved,
and the two back wings are intact.
Evidently the fire originated from
the basement, going up one of the par
titions and breaking out near the roof.
When first discovered the building was
filled with smoke, making it necessary
for hasty departure of the guests and
hotel force.
The roof was covered with sheet iron
handicapping the work of the fire de-
partment who showed their efficiency
by keeping the blaze confined to the
upper or third story. A heavy water
pressure was on that morning, the
writer observing at one time stream
from one of the hose shooting con-
siderable above the flag pole, which
made the work of the fire boys more
effective.
The hotel is owned by Mrs. Prior
formerly Mrs. Newson) who purchas-
ed it several years ago and has spent
considerable money in additions and
improvements. She was absent with
her husband at the time OF the fire, the
hotel being in charge of her son, John
Shier and daughter, Miss Bertha Shier.
Considerable over $4,000 insurance
was carried on the building and con-
tents. AS the hotel is only partially in
jured, and that IFS need in our city is
ar absolute necessity, it will undoubt-
edly be rebuilt in the near future. We
understand that the hotel had been
leased, the new management to take
possession the first of October.
Fire was discovered in the structure
again the next morning Thursday
necessitating a recall of the Fire De-
partment. Little damage was done.
