Living IN CITIES
Residents Are Not as Neighb0rly
as in Country.
Life in Metropolitan municipalities Ia
Battle for Existence, With No
Time for Sociability.

"Who, then, is my neighbour" the
man "in the city pent" asks himself,
as he regards a row of similar house
fronts and reflects on the fact that he
has only a nodding acquaintance at
best with the majority of the inmates.
Interdepeudence is fostered by the
conditions of living in the country.
Ordinarily we do not need the help
of the next house, near or far. But
let fire come, or destructive storm, or
predatory visitor, or serious ILL
ness, and the neighbor may be as well
come as angels, says a writer in Phila-
delphia Ledger.
City life is often a battle of the
strong, because there are crowds ana
there are many mouths to feed and
many shutting feet to be shod. Ii we
let ourselves think of it, the vast null
titude of identities striving to establish
themselves is almost terrifying. where
did so many people come from? where
are they all going?' How are they to
find a lodging for the night? Each
a circle of friends. The hunblest, I'M
less deeply unfortunate, has ties that
bind him to earth and make life-in
degree-dear to him.
Out of the pagan wilderness to the
urban lights and roarings comes bu-
collie youth. What will the city DO to
that unsophistication? Or in what
way will It's rugged, innocent power
in time come to prevail upon the cityY
Your shrewdest, hardest captain OF
business closes his eyes at his desk
and is taken back to murmurous water
brooks and bees, to the aroma of hay,
of kline, of burning leaves, to the
sound of the whetted scythe or the
sight of baked apples in the window OF
the woodshed.
Why can't they brown fapjacks or
bake beans or concOct apple sauce or
cook oatmeal as they did down on the
farm?
The table was always big enough
for the unexpected guest. An egg or a.
quart of milk was no such great event
as it is in a city. There used to be
time, too, to settle the affairs Of the
borough and the nation, to discuss
Horace Greeley and to wind the clock,
between supper and early bedtime.
We have filtration, and the vacuum
cleaner, and the servant question, and
all the other city advantages. But 1t
was something to know the neighbors,
and somehow or other ''the men that
were boys when 1 was a boy" mean
something in lifetime that the brisk,
ambitious, .clean-shaven, up-pushing
generation does not convey. 1t would
do these take-it-or-leave-it fellows good
to study the large, leisurely, tranquil
izing ways of their forebears in the
days when civilization" was not on
tear from the cheap lunch to the bar
gain counter, and home was not way

Prepare to Care for Themselves.

Nowhere have the French shown
their remarkable national vitality more
striking than in the way they have
kept up the pursuits of peace while
bearing the brunt Of the most exacting
war in history. So far from having
their industries broken by conflict they
have developed scores Of new ones,
writes q correspondent. An exhibit
now being held in Paris is given over
entirely to products manufactured in
France, which were formerly imported.
The first division consists of articles

made in the northern French districts
now occupied by the invader, which

he reconstructive work is in progress.

Rice is one of the few food products
that have not advanced in price, as
serts the Memphis Commercial-Appeai.
You can get about four pounds of rice
for quarter. A quarters worth OF
rice will carry you further than on
cents worth of beef. A quarter
worth of rice will carry you as far as
so cents worth of flour.
Rice is a wholesome food. Fashion
caused a reduction of the greatest food
value in rice requiring it to be pol
fshed. There ought to be law for

ground into -four. People would have
better teeth and better digestion.
But this article is about cheap food
and not about the business Of keeping
healthy.
Rice is the chief diet of about third
Of the population Of the world. The
relocating Jap whipped the filling out
Of the tallow and -four eating Russian.
A man can go farther on a rice diet
than on any other single article OF food
that is grown.
So, if you do not want to spend all
your money for feed, buy rice.
If you want to have variety in your
diet, and that cheaply, buy sweet po-
tatoes. And if you want dessert buy
some molasses. Rice, sweet potatoes
and molasses are the only food prod
ucts we know of that are not high.
Eat rice, it is healthful; and eat rice,
it is cheap.

quire that every animal pass at least
two successful annual tuberculin tests.
In addition to the number Of herds
mentioned. more than 600 others have
passed one successful test in prepare

Felt Hats.

Blocked felt hats, it is thought in
some quarters, will come in for a big
portion Of popularity next winter for
the reason that SO many women have
gone into business and are dressing
either in uniform or in very business
like clothes. Really the only hats that
look we'll with these trig clothes are
those which are blocked, and, while not
exactly stiff. still have deal Of for
mality and dignity about them. A new
one was seen, in beaver felt, with G
high crown and narrow brim that
rolled at the back and tipped down
over the face at the front. 1t had a
single ornament Of the same shade at
the left side front, and not even a
band around the crown. This hat would
have made lovely finish for blue
serge suit and its wearing possibilities
would have been bOundless.

When rne snow rileS 1t will he met
by such rich and adequate headwear
as appears in this group OF winter
time hats. 1t is something OF para
Gox to call this a season of brilliant
millinery when dominant colors are
quiet, with only two or three among
them that can be described as bright.
But along with cold weather come
metal brocades and fur. They are spar
ingly used, but even so carry the sug-
gestion that belongs to rich stuffs.
Millinery borrows splendor from
them.
But millinery deserves to be called
brilliant without consideration OF me
colors favored by fashion. Shapes are
really wonderful, the most subtl: art
full and the most becoming thar can
be Imagined. They are brilliant In
themselves and the craftsmanship OF
trimmers deserves the same adjective.
In the group there are four hats and
three of them are small or medium;
one Is large. But the small hat pre-
dominates in greater proportion
than three to one. Two Of these mod
els are designed for street wear and
two are more formal-but they are all
very wearable-that is. they can be
made to do much service. At the mp

eottonseed hulls proved to be a good
fattening ration for calves for a short
feeding period.
When fed In conjunction with cot.
tonseed meal, corn silage Of rather
poor quality produced the same daily
gains on calves as did cottonseed bulls
and cheapened the cost of the daily
gains.
The substitution Of two-thirds of the
cOttonseed meal In a ration with corn
did not prove profitable when corn cost
70 cents bushel and cottonseed meal
$26 a ton.
In one test 1t was profitable to re-
place one-third Of the cottOnseed meal
with corn-and-cob meal, but in a Sec
Ond test nothing was gained by the in
PRODUCTION Of cOrn-and-cob meal. The
first year the calves which received
corn-and-cob meal made slightly larger
daily gains and sold for more than did
the calves which received cottonseed
meal as the sole concentrate. The Sec
ond year the addition of corn to the
ration did not increase the size of the
daily gains, nor did the calves which
received corn sell for any more per
pound than the other calves.
In third test 50 high-grade Aber-
deen-Angus calves fed on a ration Of
about three pounds of cottonseed meal,
two pounds of cowpea hay and as much
cOttonseed hulls as they would eat
made daily gains at cost of 1855 per
hundred pounds and returned a net
profit of $3.50 each.
In fourth experiment "a calves
which were fed for 112 days in the dry
lot and then fed 50 days on pasture
made good daily gains. but the profits
were not as large as they would have
been If the calves had been sold at the
end of the winter. The gains made
during the summer were good and
were made cheaply, but the price OF
calves was SO much lower in the sum
mer than at the close of winter thai
the continued feeding into the summer
months was not profitable.
