GRANDMOTHER NOT so SLOW
Possibly Less "Flip" Than the MaIdens
OF Today, but She Seemed to
Get There.

Grandma disdalned the first aids to
beauty-powder. rouge, eyebrow pencil
and eyelash lotion.
She acknowledged before the world
that che had ears. She exposed them
to view.
She attended church regularly. She
knew nothing of theaters, movies and
chewing gum.
She danced the minuet with men
she Knew. She would have been horri-
fed with the primrose dance, the hula
and the shimclie.
She wore high necks and long
sleeves, both trimmed with lace. She
would have considered the sash and
shoulder strap of today indecent.
Her skirt was very long and her toes
peeped IN and out like tiny mice, we
are told. She would have been scan
dalized by the knee-length skirt, the
sheer hose and the low shoes of the
present mode.
She gave no thought of career, the
vote or the great question of the day
And yet
She knew what to do when grand
father came along.-Judge.

Natural Colorcd Silk.

Experiments made in France have,
1t is reported, shown that the yellow
and green colors possessed by the silk
spun by certain caterpil,ars are due to
coloring matter derived from the
food, and passed through the blood OF
the spinners. BY impregnating leaves
with artificial colors the txperimenters
caused some species of caterpilIars to
produce silk of bright orange-yellow
and fine rose hues.
By the aid of the spectroscope the
presence and nature OF colored pig
ments in the blood Of the little crea-
lures was established.

avoid the forming of grains around
the sides OF the boiling kettle is to
wash down the sides while, boiling

extremes in both price and grade and
feed the medium grades of hay. In
the eastern part Of the United States
No. l and No. 2 timothy are fed In
preference to the other grades and are
cheaper. Consumers Of this kind are
beginning to use mixed (timothy and
clover hay) and legume hay, especially
alfalfa. in preference to unmixed grass
hay.
grades such as No. timothy and
mo grade" This hay is fed by many
horse owners because It is cheap. and
by owners of transient and sale stables
who want something to fill up the
horses and are not greatly concerned
with the nutritive quality Of the feed.
Experienced horse owners know that
when poor hay Is fed It requires a
larger grain ration than where better
grade hay Is used The quantity OF
poor hay in the market is much great
er than that Of good hay.
Hay Should Be Well Baied.
Most hay for city market nowadays
Is baled, and each year thera Is con-
siderable loss in marketing hay on ac-
count OF improper baling. The rules
by which market hay Is graded require
that 1t Ce Sound and well baled.'
Properly baled hay consists Of bales
Of uniform size, having straight edges,
square ends, the proper number OF
wires accurately placed, and baled in
such a manner as to stand handling
and shipping we'll. Each bale should
contain only one grade Of hay com
posed Of enough folds to be torn app r,
easily when the wires are removed.
The size and weight Of the bales are
important In most markets. The pro
Queer should know the demands Of the
market to which his hay is to be
shipped. Usually a man snlps his
hay into one general market where the
size and weight Of bale is uniform.
The small bale. up to 100 pounds, is
much In demand because one man can
load, unload, and deliver It. This size
is popular for handling where ship
meuts are by river boat In the South.
Sor southern retail trade a bale not
more than 70 pounds-approximat
80 10 the TOMS popular. In several
eastern markets the large upright bale
weighing from 200 to 225 pounds j.
preferred.
The producer should select his best
hay for the city markets, grade 1t
carefully, bale 1t according TO the
market. and avoid shipping more thar
one class of hay In the same car.

This Is the season Of the year when
farmers are sending their hay to the
city markets.
In the face of a marvellous increase
in motor-propelled vehicles which eat
only gasoline 1t is worthy of note that
the production and consumption of hay
in the United States has increased
steadily year by year. reaching its
highest point in history in 1910. This
years yield will be only slightly less,
At the same time, the marketing OF
hay Las become more particular I'M
dertaking. Formerly nearly all hay
was sold within 80 miles Of the place
where 1t was grown. Now large part
Of 1t is shipped by rail- and come ex-
ported.
Two Kinds of'Markets.
Market hay may be divided into two
general classes City market hay md
local, or country. market hay. The line
of distinction between the two classes
Is not always distinctly drawn. but It
may be said that the demand in re-
gard to quality and better grades Is
more rigid in the city than on the local
market. It requires better quality
Of hay to grade MS No. on the city
market than on the local mnrket.
Compared with marketing hay In the
city. dIsposing Of 1t in the country is
a comparatively simple matter. On
the local marketsthe producer usually
comes In direct contact with the con-
sumner and hay is not sold according to
Its official grade but on Its merit. It
Is designated as Choice" good bright
hay" fair" medium" etc. This in
cludes all kinds Of hay, and hence
there is no necessity for the producer
to know the commercial grades.
When hay Is shipped to the city
market, however, the grade given by
the shipper Is Of the utmost Impor-
lance. The prices Of the different
grades of hay depend, in years Of
normal yield, on the demand Of city
consumers. who may be divided into
three general classes according to the
kind Of hay they feed. IN the first
class are the drivers of fancy driving
and saddle horses, who feed the high
est quality hay. Such horses must be
kept In the best condition, and as No.
hay Is very palatable and agrees
with the horses, It Is used to furnish
the required bulk Of the ration rather
than the quality OF nutritive sub
stances 1t contains. High-grade hay
always finds a ready SALE for the de-
mand usually exceeds the supply.
The second class Of consumers avoid

Professor Alexander Silverman has
invented a new illumination for the mi

that it gives very strong light upon
the object examined, so that Opaque
and translucent bodies can be as readi-
~ studied as transparent ones. The
top Of the object or the side can be

testing samples of metals since 1t
shows the presence of blow holes and

fabric from every angle and is also
much appreciated by psychologists.

EARLY ADVANCES IN
 FLEECY STAPLE DID
 NOT HOLD OUT LONG
The General Market Closed Barely Steady at a Net Ad- vance of TWenty-six to
 Forty Points
By Associated Press

New York, November 3o.--Advances of 80 to 90 points were followed by reac- lions of 50 to 50 points in the cotton mar ket today with January selling up from 15c to 15.9oc, and closing at 153Oc. The general market closed barely steady at net advance of 26 to 40 points.
 The opening was irregular at decline of four points to an advance of Il points near months being relatively easy under further scattering liquidation, a. though only two December notices were issued. Liverpool and the south sold some cotton here. but offerings from the latter sources were musch less in evidence than recently, while there was trade buying and buying for reaction as we'll as covering. Later Liverpool turned a buyer also and the advance was encouraged by reports of improving in dustrial conditions in Germany, while att tention was also attracted by statements that some domestic mills which had been closed during part of the present month were re-opening for business. Decem- Der sold up to 16c and March to 15.9Sc during the early afternoon and the fact that trade buying was in evidence on a scale up made favorable impression on sentiment. The advance, however, met increased southern offerings and the market weekend late in the afternoon under Wall street and local selling. With the high point of the day January showed recovery of 137 points from the low record of yesterday morning and there was a good deal of realizing on the closing reaction, promoted by less fav- orable reports from the stock market. Port receipts today, 70,675 bales. United States port total, 1880, 227; exports. 33, 253, making 1,15,465 so far this season.
