series of programs for gradua-
ton was given by Miss Grace
Webb Monday night in Murrell
Hall. The personal popularity
of the singer was responsible in
some degree, for the presence of
a large audience, including a
number from other towns, but
the charm of a beautiful voice
induced the enthusiastic APP
plause and the repeated recalls.
Miss Webb possesses a mezzo
soprano voice of good range, con-
siderable hexibility and a quality
far above the average. It's pres
ent development promises a very
successful future, and she con-
templates further study.
The program sung Monday ev-
ening was somewhat protentious
including the Bach-G ounod cave
Maria" with organ and piano ac-
compartment. In this Miss
Webb's technique met all re-
quirements of breath control,
tone graduation, and even phras-
ing. She also handled the well
known Samson and Delilah num-
Der with much assurance and ex-
cellent tone quality throughout.
Of her modern songs, Nevin's
Merry Merry Lark" and the
"Rose-time Morning" by Elliott
were especially well received.
"Soft-footed Snow" was sung for
the first time here and added
delightful variety to the last
group. It's difficult mezza Uoce
effect was well maintained.
Miss Webb's composure and
mental a~lertness were apparent
features of her preparation. She
was splendidly supported in the
organ accompaniment by Mr..
Conrad, and her voice teacher,
Mrs. Allen, gave all the piano ac-
compartments.
The entire program follows:

thoroughly understand the business of
preparing them for market.
The draft horse, however, is the ami
NAL that does the hard work not only
on the farm but in the big cities and
he is always in demand. The reason
there have been SO few good drafters
raised in the past few years, is be-
cause too many farmers took up with
the craze several years ago of trying
to produce roadsters by breeding their
mares to light stations and as most
of them were not willing to pay for the
service of first class animal, the re-
suit is that the country is filled with
second and third rate horses of no par
ticular use and which bring low prices.
1t is gratifying to note, however,
that farmers are coming to their
senses and are now breeding more
drafters than ever before. Using stall
lions on mares of the same type with
proper weight, he can produce a type
of animal that will turn out a profit
at three years.
Draft mares will do practically as
much work on the farm as horses, and
If properly handled these working
mares will prove the best breeders.

Is good as cash in the bank, because

lrafters, using first class stations, can

which will add from 10 to rs per cent
o the price of his animals over the
'rices of others equally good bred by
men without reputation.
There is always good money to be
made in raising horses of this class,
although many farmers seem to think
hat 1t does not pay. Most of them
ire right about this as far as their
Iwn experiences go because they do
lot raise the right kind.
It is true that horses of a monde
cript character, lacking proper form,

therefore,, not profitable to raise. The

Surely nothing was ever designed

The ribbon is about three inches

USING GROUND CORN
TO FATTEN STEERS
Missouri Experiment Station Has
Been Investigating This
Question for Two Years.

(By H. o. ALLISON, Missouri Experiment
Station)
Does 1t pay to grind corn for fatten'
ing two-year-old steers? The Missouri
experiment station has been investi.
eating this question for the last two
years. While this investigation is not
yet completed, results obtained up to
the present time indicate that more
rapid gains in live weight and quick,
er finish may be expected by the use
of ground grain. Cattle also feed more
uniformly on ground than on whole
corn. There is no doubt but that two
year-old steers will much more COM
pletely digest ground grain and the
finer it is the more completely it will
be digested.
The work at the Missouri College Of
Agriculture shows clearly that when
ground corn is fed fewer hogs are
needed to follow the steers. The fig
ures obtained indicate that from II to
% per cent of the value of the ear
corn fed to steers should be charged to
the hogs, while with finely ground
corn chop it will not be more than 3
to 4 per cent. The evidence concern
ing the total gain in live weight on
cattle and hogs per bushel of corn fed
is not yet conclusive. It is not likely
that there will be much difference be-
tween feeding ground or whole grain
if the hogs are properly cared for and
if the feeding is done in lots which are
reasonably free from mud.

i've STOCK RELISH
FEED WHEN COOKED
found Quite Advantageous When
Given to Dairy Cattle During
Cold Weather of Winter.

Whenever the question as to the ad
disability of cooking feed in its prep
lration for stock is raised in group
# feeders, there is an argument. The
question is one that is hard to decide
lpon, because there are so many
hings that enter into 1t that will deter
nine whether or not it is the best
hing to do. There is little doubt that
some cases it is advisable, but valu
lble as some cooked feeds are on any
arm, there is danger that the enthu'
Iiasm for them will cause it to be over
lone and the result may be positive
ianger to the stock. The old saying
tbout getting "too much of a good
hing" may not give favorable results
carried too far in this case.

made less digestible by being cooked.
When food is cooked the protein in it

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home. which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or

through your hair, taking one small
