or local markets, the number of cat
larger than last year.
This situation is due to the
drouth conditions prevailing in near
ly all of this area, and the prospect
i've high prices of feed and low prices
for cattle
Feed Plentiful Here.
Gin the area including the western
parts of South Dakota, Nebraska and
the states of North Dakota, Montana,
Wyoming and Colorado it is estimat-
ed that 10000 fewer cattle will be
shipped this yea than last. In most
Of these states winter range feed
promises to be fairly plentiful and
supplies of hay and forage sufficient
for the winter needs.
"Since such a large part of the
western cattle are stockers and feed
ers, the demand for such stock in
the corr belt will be a big factor in
determining the actual marketing of
western cattle. The extent and the
character of this demand is at pre-
sent very uncertain and will SO re-
main until the outcome of the corn
crop can be more definitely deter
mined. Supplies of pasture, hay and
roughage are quite large through
out most of the corn belt and cattle
will be needed to utilize them.
eff there is a large supply of un-
marketable soft corn, as now seems
probable, in most Of the states east
of the Missouri river, a big demand
for feeder cattle for a short feed will
presumably develop. But the pros
pective high market prices for sound
corr will tend to reduce the demand
for feeders in the states that produce
it. The best corn prospects at pre-
sent are west of the Missouri river
and these states were very large pur-
chasers Of feeder cattle last year.
Lamb Crop Larger.
1.-THE lamb crop was larger this
year than last because of the in
crease in the number raised and an
enlargement of the number of breed
ing ewes. In a number of these
states the number of lambs raised is
at more than 10 per cent
above last year. The feed condi-
west of the continental divide
will have the same effect on sheep
as on cattle. In he face of this sit
uation it is the expressed intention
Of sheep growers in this area to mar
ket very closely this year and to Gull
breeding herds carefully.
"In the areas east of the contin-
divide the winter feed situa-
ion is much more favorable and the
increased marketing there will prob
ably be in proportion to increased
ambs saved. In these states, how
,ver, the cost of hay and and grain
promises to be much greater than
asst year, which may tend to produce
larger movement OF aged ewes.
rhe demand for lambs will be a very
important factor in determining the
,rice of all western lambs and will
influence considerably the actual
of western lambs. This {
lemand is IS yet quite uncertain and !

Treatment Of Seed Prevents Smut

Checking up various wheat fields
the seed of which had been treated
with copper carbonic before planting,
showed 100 per cent freedom from
smut according to a report from w.
H. Jones, county agent in saltwater
county. Neighboring fields that had
been planted with untreated seed in
some cases showed considerable
smut losses. Here was evidence
enough of the value of treating seed"
says Mr.. Jones, "and if there was
still some doubt as to the effective
ness Of the copper carbonate dust
treatment for preventing smut the
observations here in Saltwater were
sufficient to convince the most skep-
tical.'

Mrs. Bucks stated | that the young women of our state should have the same opportunities as offered by other states The state col Iege for woman in North Carolina is receiving an annual appropriation of SGT0, ,O00, as compared with the annual appropriation of $S5,000 for Alabama college, the only state college for wOm- en in Alabama. We want every wom- an in the state to respond and give to this cause
 The members of the Wesley Bible class pledged to give not less than S10O per year from their class for the next five years They hope to give more, as quite a few. members of this class have expressed the desire to pledge more, making the total larger than $500 for the five years. Mrs. Donald Conner is the splendid teacher of this class, and Mrs. W. w. Currie presi- dent. This class is one of the most progressive in Birmingham.

 Well, my dear, there are just as many ways of managing hus-
 band as there are different varie-
 ties of husbands, and all of them
 work if applied to the proper cases.
 It is a matter of technique, and
 that has to be adapted to the indi- vidual idiosyncracies of the partic-
 ular man you have drawn. in the
 matrimonial lottery.
 The method which is a sure-fire hit with one husband is flivver with an- other, for some husbands have to be bluffed, while others have to be jol- lied. Some wives have to use strong arm methods, while the patient Griseida stuff wins out for others. Some hus- bands can be worked by tears, while the key to others has to be greased with salve. It all depends on the man. Let us consider some of the common UT garden variety types of husbdnds
 First, the sensitive husband wl"
 is always getting his feelings hurt
 and who pouts and glooms around
 the house, and when asked what is the matter, replies, "Oh, nothing"
 and wears the general look of an
 early Christian martyr.
 He is easy. He just wants to be babied, and petted, and kissed, and told he is the most boofulest sing in the world, mudder's fair-haired, precious boy. The wife with this sort of hus- band should be her own pres sagent and acll his attention to every single, solitary thing she does for him and tell him how she considers his taste in eevry bit of the food she buys for din ner, and how she runs the house to please him, and what a precious priyi- lege it is to put the studs in his shirt This will soothe his ingrowing sense oi importance, and make him eat out ot her hand.
 Then there is the bossy man.
 The man with the head-of-the-house
 complex. It is mere child's play
 to manage him, if his wife will
 only take the trouble to seek his
 advice on every subject fro mbuy- ing her lingerie to asking him what she thinks she thinks. No woman
 can come nearer to doing as she pleases than the wife of the bossy man, because he is so swelled up over her asking his advice that he never notices whether she takes 1t or not.
 Then there is the self-conceited man. -N AI I1Ir nn

Monagimg 4 H@sbond Is 4 Matter Of Technique And The Wise Wife Studies Her Subpect To Ascertain Method That WiU Make Him, Yield Quickest

how handsome he is, to convince him that she is the onl ywoman in the world All that she needs to do. to get whatever she wants is to make him be- lieye that he originated the idea of buying new car, or moving into a bet ter neighborhood, and the trick is done There's the high-tempered man, who flies into mad rages and swears and curses. The way for wife to handle a man of this sort is to beat him to it, and get so much angrier than he does, and make so much more of a scene, and say so many shrewish things that she terrorizes him. And a woman can do this if she will. When it comes to the use of the tongue no man can hold his own with a woman. He lacks swiftness and staying powers.
 There are three ways to deal
 with a grouch. One is by his wife
 calling his bluff, and telling him
 that she will not stand for his act ing like a spoiled child, and that he has either to cheer up or get out,
 until he can be human once more.
 The second is by ridicule, and by
 holding hi mup as a figure of fun
 for the household to laugh at. The
 third is for the wife simply to ig-
 nore that hubby has gone into a
 state of frozen silence, and that
 every one is being unished for
 something having gone wrong by
 having the sunlight of his pres
 ence withdrawn.
 There isn't bit of fun in grouching if nobody notices that yo uare doing it, and it apparently doesn't incommode any one, or interfere with their pleas ure. To try to placate a grauchy hus- band, and win him out of his black mood is a fatal mistake. It encourages him in them, and furnishes him with a weapon to hold over the. heads of the family. The best way to hanage a tightwad husband is by appealing to his vanity. He will generally come across with an | allowance rather than let his wife carry out her threat to get a job as a dress model in order to get the clothes she needs Also the combination to the safety lock on his pocketbook is the suggestion that he isn't as good busi- ness man as MT. Jones, and can't af- ford to give his family what the Joneses have.
 But when a man is really mis-
 erly nothing but chloroform will do
 the work, and the only way his
 wife ca nget money out of him is
 to arise in the night and go through
 his pockets.
 And so it goes. To each man his own method, and wise is the wife who studies her husband, and ascertains to which mode of treatment he yields quickest and easiest.
