SELECTION OF FEED CATTLE


The block is the supreme and final
test Of the beef animal. The butcher
desires an animal that win deliver the
highest percentage Of good cuts. and
show refinement In parts that are not
edible. In order to reduce waste.
.sFineness Of bone. lack Of paunchiness
and a small head are thus desired by
the butchers, but the steer with light
bone. small paunch and frail head
would be unable to go through the
feeding period and make economical
gains.
Even though the strong. vigorous.
capacious feeder may not turn out at
the finish into the exact ideal Of the
butcher. he is the one that puts on the
largest and steadiest gains. endures
heavy feeding for the longest time,

Occupy Your Proper Place.

It's continuous confidence in the
ideal of your own making that cOmpels
success, observes an educator. Some
men never question the possibility Of
defeat. They may have set-backs but
not defeats. They are right and know
themselves to be right. The rest of
the world may be ranged against them
for all they care. They have mis-
sion and nothing short Of it will sat
isfy. That's what you should have.
Get the proper self-estimate and move
up to your place.

Formation and Color.

The iridescence of nacre, or mother
of-pearl. is a matter of form. and not
actual color. In fact. all ''changeable"
colors are more or less the result Of
form even where there is fermentation
beneath, such as In certain ribbed silks.
When sunlight bears directly upon
finely ribbed metal, as a file, there is
the same play Of colors.
In the case of mother-of-pearl an in
teresting experiment has been made.
An impression of the pearl was TAX
en- upon pure white wax. 1t was then
found that the apparently smooth sur
face Of the pearl had still sufficient
irregularities to impress upon the wax
a surface that resulted in similar color

SOME POULTRY DISEASES

When the crop is hard and I'M
yielding there is danger of the
bird becoming crop bound.
When the joints are hot and
swollen and the fowl is disin-
clined to stand, rheumatism has
taken hold.
When the n0strils are clogged
with dirt and the eyes water,
ward off a possible case of Group
by timely treatment. If the case
is bad apply the Ratchet and
bury the carcass.
When the bird seems lame and
has small swelling in its foot,
remove to a house with no
perches and oblige it to roost on
a bed of straw. Bumble-foot is
easily cured in the early stages
If the cause is at once removed.
When a hen seems to drown
down behind and goes repeated
ly to the nest without laying,
she is usually suffering from a
disorder of tn. oviduct, and
might as well be killed and eat
en-.
When the hen seems giddy
and turns round and round, she
is probably suffering from apop-
lexy.
When the bird has leg weak
ness, with no disorder of the liv-
er, feed lighter and give plenty
of bone-forming material.

chamois Skin for Windows.

Two pieces of chamois skin and a
basin or pail of warm water are the
best means for cleaning windows that
one housekeeper knows of, so she says.
One channels skin she wrings out of the
warm water and uses for washing the
windows. With the other she dries
them. She finds the chamois skins far
superior to the ordinary rags and says
that, if they are kept clean, they will
last a long time. She uses the same
method and materials for cleaning mir
rors.

MANURE TO INCREASE CROPS
At Pennsylvania It Was Found That
Application of Six Tons Was
Better Than Ten.

Stable manure has long been CON
sidered very valuable fertilizer. 1t
Is usually thought by farmers that the
larger the application of manrre the
greater the crop increase. Experiment
tai data shows that such is not the
case. At Pennsylvania 1t was found
that an application Of six tons per
acre gave a return of 1920 per ton as
compared with 1929 per ton when ten
tons per acre We're used. This is a dol
lar ton in favor of the lighter appli-
cation. At the same rate the farmer
who has hundred tons of manure to
spread can save nearly enough to pay
for his manure spreader Hand spread
ing could hardly put manure on at the
rate of six tons. This is not an iso-
lated case. Other work has shown an
actually smaller yield with a large
amount than with smaller amount of
manure. !

Before DAYS of Furnaces.

Yule is an Anglo-Saxon word for
Christmas, hence Yuletide, meaning
Christmas time, and the yule log which
used to be piled on the hearth for the
making of a big, cheerful fire. Thu
yule log was thought to bring goo'
fortune and bits of its charred re
mains were saved to start the nexi
years Christmas fire with. But thai
was before the days of furnaces or

Regret Interference with Nature.

Australia is regretting the laws
passed some years ago ordering the
slaughter of hawks. owls, carrion
crows or other birds that prey on
young animals and birds, says n sgd
ney dispatch TO the Cleveland Press.
These have now been almost wiped
out, with the result. as described by
q recent writer, that decaying bodies,
numerous on sheep farms, have been
left to be demolished by the larvae Of
blowfiies, which have now increased
to such an appalling extent as to
threaten the sheep on the runs with
destruction, the animals becoming

Armed Vehicles Failed.

In 1874, when Holland attempted
70 invade France by sea she furnished
the expedition corps with large num-
hers of armed vehicles, which were con-
ceived with the idea of arresting the
rushes of the cavalry. In addition
there were companies of grenadiers
provided with grenades not dissimilar
In principle from those of today. How

boy Of about his own age named Fer
dinand. the future Spanish King. One
day, while engaged IN game of bat
