CHEAPER FEEDS FOR
FATTENING STEERS
The question o f how soon steers can
be gotten up to a full grain ration is
not as Important as how long the
steers can be run profitably on cheap
er feeds. In states where corn Is
cheap and plentiful and two lots of
steers are to be finished In one winter,
one after the other, the steers are put
on a fuU com ration In four to six
weeks and get 15 to 20 pounds of
com a day, finished In 90 to 100 days
In Colorado, feeds like hay and pulp
are cheap and com has to be shipped
In, so that the practice Is to have a
long feeding period starting with very
little grain and never going over eight
to ten pounds grain a day. The fat
tening process lius been likened to the
blowing up of a football or auto tire,
easy at first, but getting harder as the
(C o p y r ig h t.)
process continues.

Silage Is an excellent feed for a
I breeding ewe, but the silage should
I be sound, free from mold and not
■' frozen. One to two pounds per head
per day Is sufliclent, depending on the
1 size of the ewe. A lfalfa or clover hay
makes excellent dry roughage, but
should not be fed in excessive
amounts, as the cost of the roughage
may be decreased by feeding a limited
amount of corn or cane fodder and
stover or clean, bright struw. Ewes
should be fed some concentrated feed
before lambing, as the ewes at tills
time are maintaining their own body,
growing a fleece and developing the
] unborn lamb, and should be given
; sufficient feed of the right nuture to
j do this work and build up a reserve
j to use during the time the ewe Is
nursing the lamb.
Oats make an excellent feed for the
breeding ewes; however, If this feed
, Is expensive and corn is comparatively
cheaper, corn may be used, by supple-
1 menting It with bran and oil meal,
j In order to have a feed with a high
protein content, which Is essentlul for

D K F O R E you stock up materially
with medicinal herbs and root*—
stock up mentally on the neceasary In
formation.
That's the rule for success In being
'doctor's supply man." says an ath
letic looking young girl who coined
that name for herself.
“ When 1 first started at the work
of gathering and selling medicinal
roots and herbs," she explained, “ 1
Just collected anything and every
thing. Thera was no market for most
of my collection, and I saw that I ’d
have to find out 'wlmt’s what’ In the
drug world before 1 could make my
business a paying one."
The first step for the collector of
medicinal plants Is to learn what
herbs the drug men want, and how
to recognize the plants In their native
haunts. She may get pamphlets tell
ing not only how to distinguish the
plants, but wheu to gather them and
how to prepare them for shipment.
Right now Is the most opportune
time for this work, since the Importa
tion of crude drugs from Europe, which
was retarded during the war, has
never regained normalcy.
Herbs that belong to the mint fam
ily—spearmint, peppermint, catnip,
wlntergreen—are always In demand.
Among the salable plants usually
classified as weeds are mullein, bur
dock and yellow dock, lady’s-sllpper,
queen of the meadow, smart-weed,
boneset, yarrow, bloodroot and dan
delion. Medicinal seeds, usually sal
able, Include fennel seeds, anise seeds
and mustard plant seeds. Barks of
trees and shrubs that have a ready
sale are, among others, high cran
berry, sometimes called cramp hark;
sassafras, wltchhazel, and wild cherry
tree bark.
The collector should thoroughly dry
all roots— the proper degree of dry
ness Is Indicated If the roots break
easily when they are bent. She should
split or slice large or fleshy roots,
spread them out thinly in the sun and
stir them occasionally *o prevent mold
or souring.
The leaves and herbs
should not, during the process of dry
ing, be exposed to the sun, as It Is
desirable to preserve their green color.
Most seeds must be dried before they
can be stored in quantities.
After the crop Is well-cured, the
best way for the collector to dispose
of it Is for her to send samples to
several wholesale dealers, with a re
quest for prices. If she can furnish
a root o f high quality, she may be
able to get a contract with some com
pany for her entire crop.
The girl who decides on the work
of botanical collector has for her
market the drug manufacturers of the
entire country— and for her “ labora
tory” all out-of-doors.

C ' VERY small community has one
J - ' who Is known, almost officially, as
“the smartest girl in town.”
In a small Missouri town, where
families are “ old" and events are
slow, and people do like novelties,
there Is Just such a girl. She Is a pro
fessional weaver. She makes sports
blouses, sweaters, scarves, girdles—
distinctive and seasonal ones— all

able. too. She began In a small wav,
by selling her handiwork to the town’s
one smart shop; now she has her own
shop and workrooms.
“ No, I didn’t Just ’happen’ to w-ave,"
she told me. “ I took It up deliberate
ly and seriously, as a profession. I
served as an apprentice for two
months at • weaving studio In a city
near here; nnd I really think I learned
more than I would have If I’d simply
taken lessons.
This way, you see,
when I started In business for myself,
I knew not only how to weave, but
how to Instruct others who may work
for me occasionally, how to buy mate
rials and, most Important of all, how
to sell my products."
Here are a few of the factors which
she feels were Important In making
her success. She always used good
materials; she practised her original
ity and.got a reputation for possess
ing It— she knew that, considering
the small size of her town. It would
never do to make two things alike,
and she didn’t want to Incur the wrath
of some customer who had "met her-
self" on Main Street. She was pleas
ant. Her prices were not so low that
she couldn’t make money; neither
were they so high that they prohibited
plentiful sales.
The girl who knows how to weave
or decides to learn, and who expects
m i make weaving a profession, should
start by making little articles at home,
showing them to her friends with the
announcement of a public sale that
