TRAINING AGAINST DIZZINESS
Most Steeplejacks and Bridge-Builders
Have to Become Educated to
Extreme Height.

There is nothing more curious in
the makeup Of mankind than the mat
ter of having head for climbing
about at great heights. Some children
are born with it, and are like monkeys
or squirrels, in that they never know
what it is to be giddy.
But cases of this sort are very rare
and, as rule, long apprenticeship is
required before anyone can stand or
work unconcernedly on tail buildings,
or climb high mountains. Edward
Whymper. one of the greatest noun
taineers who ever lived, and the lead
er Of the first party to ascend the
Matterhorn had, as boy wretched
head. He could not stand on house
roof without holding on.
he cured himself by lying on the
ledge of the great tower Of the cathe-
dral of Notre Dame in Paris, and star
ing down into the street for an hour
at time. Most steeplejacks and
bridge-builders have to become edu-
Gated to heights in similar fashion.
Some people are affected by running
water as others are by heights, and
are not to be trusted on the edge OF
swift river. Quite against their
will. they are forced to walk over the
edge.
The whole question of giddiness is
a puzzle. The contributor, whose head
for heights is SO bad that he cannot
walk along ledge thirty feet above
the street. has looked down from an
airplane hundreds of feet up, on to
pointed roofs far below. without the
slightest degree of giddiness.

subject of building work on the farm, for
the readers of this paper. On account of
his wide experience as Editor, Author and

Comparatively high prices for meat
animals and low prices for grain and
feed have made breeding and feeding
livestock a profitable business during
the last year. At least, farmers are
getting great deal higher price for
the grain they produce by marketing
it on the hoof'' than by selling it as
grain.
OF course, during the summer the
cattle or hogs are allowed to run in
the feed lots, where forage is plentiful
and the self-feeders supply the fat
making rations that the. animals re-
quire in addition to the grass they get
from the pasture. But in winter a
weather-proof stable is necessary to
protect the animals from the cold
winds, which take their vitality and
force them to use up much of the
food they consume for bodily warmth.
That is why successful cattle breed
ers and feeders have such barn as is

Usually everything he needs, and
some luxuries besides, await the ar
rival Of the baby, but it is not the
part of good judgment to provide more
than can be used. The little newcomer
sleeps much and grows rapidly, so that
his first layette is partly temporary

articles includes three of all the gar

but 1t is usual to make four of each

Comfort is the most important con-

differ from that of the winter baby.

Shawlette, or two, and flannel or
crocheted socks are useful. On cool

sox make it possible for him to enjoy
the outdoors, and a set Of these knitted
