1 Perfectly Sober,
A man who hadn't been home to din
ner and who didn't arrive In time for
midnight luncheon if there had been
one finally landed at his apartment
and was greeted with a silvery "Is
that you. dear?" from his wife's room.
"It is," he responded succinctly, not
caring for mueh conversation.
"What time is it?"
"Ob, not so late:" he answered, and
then, obseiring a large bunch of roses
on a table in the hall, he braced up
and sought to change the conversation
by remarking, "What a beautiful bou
quet of flowers!"
"They are lovely," assented the wife.
"Beautiful!" continued the late ar
rival enthusiastically. "Fresh, too, I
should say. Their perfume is delight
ful." "Can yon smell them?"
"Ob. yes. Their perfume goes through
the entire place. It is lovely."
"I'ou always did like the perfume of
roses," cooed the wife.
"Yes, and these are especially fra
grant."
"Well, go to brd if that is the case.
Tou see. my dear, those are paper
roses." Saturday Evening Tost
Went Her One Better.
Two young wouien who had been
preat friends in tb-ir youth met aft
er the lapse of iin ny years. They had
mur-h to toll and to hear of ail that
had happened in the Interval.
Both had been nnirried. and among
other things one said: "You know, I
live in Africa on an ostrich farm, and
my husband is often three whole days
at a time on an ostrich."
"Oh, that's nothing." said the other.
"My husband is often three whole
weeks at a time on a lark!"

The remarkable re;.eini,i.nf e of Vic

CAPACITY OF A COW.
Development of Milk Producing Quali
ties Begins With th Calf.
To give milk a cow must eat and
eat a groat deal and have the interna',
machinery to take care of what she
eats, writes K. L. Vincent in the Na
tional Stoektuau. You take a cow al
ways as slitu as a racer and she will
not give much milk, do the best you
can with her. She Is made, so far as
her work is concerned, and little can
be done to increase her iowers lu this
direction.
But how can we "make capacity" in
our cows? Is it safe to crowd a calf
until it is ready to burst. Its hide al
ways stretched like a balloon? To this

This Holstein bull calf is an ex
cellent specimen of the breed he
represents. The Hotsteins are sec
ond to none in milk producing qual
ities. I reply that overcrowding will cer
tainly not avail. But this Is about the
line we may work upon:
Begin early and begin carefully.
For a number of weeks I would rather
a calf should not have quite what it
wants to eat rather than to be stuffed
beyond power to assimilate. Not that
a calf should be starved. Give some
milk, and as soon as it is old enough
to chew and digest it begin feeding
some nice hay. Add also a bit of
buckwheat shorts or not too coarse
wheat bran. Gradually add some to
the milk ration night and morning.
Watch the result. Don't get a calf off
its feed. It must be watched all the
way and not pushed too hard and yet
must have enough. That Is the way to
make a cow.
I Cowpeas Profitable.
j Cowpeas are a very protltahle crop
j for dairy cows and pigs. They are so
j hardy against drought and mature so
i quickly that there are very few crops
; that compete with these legumes for
soiling purposes. Cowpeas should be
j better appreciated by farmers of the
soutnwest. Farm and Kaucb.
System Pays on the Farm.
Any system of farming which pro
vides regular summer atul winter work
for the horses will prevent the waste
caused by their "eating their heads
off" half the year or so that they may
be available for work ut other seasons.
HORSE LORE.
To groom the horse well after
hard work does not only clean J
the skin, but it prevents various
parasitic diseases of the skin.
In the purchase of a new horse
always purchase a mare. She
will raise you some colts, which J
will Increase the farm profits. L
lliere is no kind of aniinal J
breeding that will pay letter
than the breeding of horses, but f
horses that will sell, not dung-
hills or misfits. f
Don't keep your horse In an
overheated stable and then sland $
him for hours in a freezing at-
mosphore and wonder how lie T
1 became paralyzed. J
Most farm horses get too much J
; hay. Cut down the amount and
', feed It mostly at night. Thor- J
; ough dampening lessens the dan- T
ger from feeding dusty hay.
COTTONSEED MEAl
The Iowa experiment station recent
ly has done a good deal uf cxcrtuicti
tal work to determine the effect pro
duced by substituting rich couchj
trated feeds for oats In tit rations for
work horses. Special attention wa
given to the effect produced uhiii the
health of the horses and their abil
ity to endure h:rd work as well as
matiitnlu their Bosh and condltlou and
also the economy of the ration.
The first exrimctit Included three
teams of horse and continued for 100
days. They were started on a ratlou
of corn and oats of equal parts by
weight. In which later oilmen! was
sulwtltuted for oats lu a ratio of about
13 to 1. The horses seemed to relish

ground product, and so It was fed lu
this form. When gluten food was sub
stituted In the ration for comparison
with oil meal It was found that some
of the horses did not relish the feed
and did not eat it readily. In this
case the use was sooti discontinued.

best results of any of the food sub

The general conclusion reached from

FEEDING CCaJJ TO CATTLE.
Mathods Pursued by a Successful Ohio
Stock Raiser.
In tills secth u of the country the
fcedlUK of cattle tins liecotno ipilte u
lieneral business durluj; the pas; ten
years, writes au experienced Ohio
feeder lu the New Knulaud Home
stead. The most of us cattle Iced lu it
farmers raise enotish feed to fatten
our cattle, and. as a rule, we have
only euouph cattle to consume the
feed we raise.
The general method Is to purchaie
stock cattle during the fall and win
tcr. These cattle are carried through
until prass time, crazed and finished
on com the following fall. The feci
for the stock cattle consists mostly of
rodder nud hay. If youns cnttlo nre i
Kiven plenty of routth feed they will !
generally go through the winter in I
nice shape. However. I like to feed
aotne corn to youtis steers In the
spring, as they will be lu better con
ditlou to go on grass. Xnother advan
tage I have found In feeding corn to
ysuug cattle is that young hogs can
be curried through the spring lu much '
better shape.
As n rule, most of our cattle are fed ,
during the fall and early winter, i
Hogs or cattle will fatten on less feed
during moderate temperatures, as it j
takes a certain amount of feed to keep
up the animal heat. i
As to the kinds of feed ued. corn !
Is king with us. In starting cattle to ,
fatten I generally give some corn oil j
grass as eurly us the 1st of September j
or as soon us the new corn commences i
to harden. This is done by going In '
the corn and cutting as much as U i
needed. s;iy one. two or three stalks I
for each steer for a feed. This amount i
can be Increased gradually as the cat
tle become accustomed to Uie new
corn until they are on full feed.
Shock corn la fid once a day and
husked com once a day. The advnn-
tage of feeding husked corn Is In snv- j
Ing the fodder or rough feed, and the
cattle also will eat the husked corn
somewhat better. Those farmers who
have clover hay or alfalfa have a
great advantage in giving these with
the corn.
The feeding period lasts from 90 to
1-0 days and sometimes longer, but
this is about the average period of
feeding.
Profit In Mul Raising.
Ever atop to think that tlm average
nule sells for ubout $10 more than the
average horse? Kver think that theru
Is never any dllllculty in selling a
tnule, while the market for horses
may be dull? There never hns been
an overproduction of mules, and there
does not seem likely to be in the fu
ture. It costs less to raise a mule,
and he Is always n money maker,
whether for work or for sale.
Money In Mule.
There mny be a lingering prejudice
against the breeding of mules, but the
fancy prices prevailing for well devel
oped spans ought to wipe out that
prejudice.
