Flying a Model Plane.

AsIregards the flying of mode plane, the beginner has much to learn It should always be remembered- that while it occurs to the average person that a model should be flown into the wind this in reality is not the case a model should always be flown with the wind. Another point to rem mber is that a seal or reproduction model can never be a long distance flyer as are types of stick models. Further a have a propeller or tractor screw out of proportion, as screw to scale is not capable Of delivering the neces- sary thrust to fly a model which must necessarily be too heavy for the thrust developed.

 OF DOMESTIC SHEEP

All the present breeds of sheep are probably descended from the mouff1on the Es opean wild breed The other leading wild breeds are the argaii, of central Asia. and the bighorn, of the Rocky mountains in America; but it is doubtful if any domesticated va rieties have been evolved from these All the recently opened countries have been stocked from Europe, and nearly all from English breeds, with the ex- ception of the spanish merino. Even such remote islands as the Falkland islands now teem with sheep and ex- port enormous quantities of wool, where a generation ago there was none.

New York.-Some historians may
know when the tunic started its 0areer
as a fundamental fashion iii the
clothing of the human race, but no one
has stated the exact date with an at
tempt at accuracy, according to a
prominent fashion authority.
There are many who believe that 1t
was the first garment worn by Adam
and Eve, when they realized that cloth
ing was to be q necessity to their
species. The tunic really followed the
mantle, and from Elijah to William l
of England is long, long spell in his
tory, but we know that the former
wore a mantle and the latter tunic.
julius Caesar occupied a place in the
sun between these two, but he wore a
toga. Beau Brummel brought in coats
and George ", picturesque as he was
in his costumery, blazed the path for
the ugliest clothes that the men on
this planet have ever worn.
The tunic was masculine fashion,
as most garments are that women
think are their own. The critics of
this generation fall upon women and
smite them hard for their fripperies
and frivolities, the whims and caprices
of their clothing, and yet these critics
are men who do not seem to realize
that all the centuries of progress Of
the male part of the human race were
given over to caprice and brilliancy In
apparel, as well as to defeat and vic
tory in arms.

FEEDING CATTLE IN WINTER
Careful Estimate Of sllage on Hand
Should Be Made and Prepare for
Any Shortage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment CT Agricultural
Before starting to feed silage to beef
cattle this winter a careful estimate
of the total amount on hand should be
made, MS 1t is not good practice to
feed sllage In such way as to ex-
hnust the supply and be compelled to
feed dry roughage following the silage
before turning to pasture in the spring.
II shortage is anticipated there are
two ways to meet the situation-ei-
ther feed dry roughages altogether for
time at the beginning and keep the
silage until the latter part Of the feed
Ing period, or feed a small amount Of
silage with other roughage throughout
the winter.
Sufficient silage and other roughages
should be provided so as to begin feed
ing the cattle by the 1st of January
Mt least, and to last until the 1st to
the 18th of April. This later date Is
suggested so as 10 keep the animals
off the grass in the spring and protect
the pasture as long as possible. Best
results from feeding silage are obtain
ed when some dry roughage Is fed
along with 1t. Unless legume hays are
used small amount of cottonseed
meal, one-half to one pound, should be
used.

In feeding hogs for the market, as
also with any other class Of meat ami
mails, larger returns are obtained when
the stock Is ms nearly uniform as possi-
BILE, and as it is very profitable for
each farmer to breed his own feeders,
particular attention should be given to
the selection of the original breeding
stock. Uniformity is of primary i'm
portance, for to have uniform crop
Of pigs there must be uniformity in the
breeding herd, and to obtain this must
be one of the first considerations In
selecting the original herd.
Selection of Sows.
The females of the herd may be OBJ

gifts safely In pig to boar of recog-

self to be good breeder by the pre-
vious litters she has produced, II is I'D
visable for ecOnomy's sake to purchase
bred gifts. These should be about IL
months old, being bred after the age
of eight months, and If possible all
should be in pig to the same boar.
Here Is the first opportunity to prac-
| tice selection for uniformity; wheth-
er pure-bred or not, the sows should
be similar in color, marking, type and
conformation. The type of the sows
| selected should be the one which the
market demands. While there Is some
variation between the different breeds,
1t Is largely matter of characteristics,
as q good individual, no matter what
breed 1t represents, If properly fed
and managed well will make economi-
cal gains.
If possible, the first purchase of sows
should be made from one herd, for in
this manner it Is easier to get uniform
ity. Uniformity goes deeper than the
mere visible type of conformation II
is determined by past ancestry and is
controlled by the characteristics con.
tained in the germplasm. The germ
plasm Is continuous, extending from
individual to individual, and any mem
ber Of the chain shows In its visible
conformation only few Of the pos

At best, 1t Is impossible to choose
sows that will produce true to type
for as yet no line of breeding is abso
lutely pure, but by selecting the sow
in this manner the chances for uni
