DUAL-PURPOSE CATTLE GROWING IN FAVOR
m
w
Prize-Winning Aberdeen-Angus Cattle.
The Aberdeen-Angus originated In
Scotland and was first brought to the
United States In 1873. They are raised
extensively In Iowa and Illinois and
many other of the central states, and
are rapidly growing In popularity in
every section. Large numbers of tills
breed are being raised In Argentina.
By somo breeders they are not consid-
ered to be as well adapted to range
eondltlens as some other of the bcof
breeds, however. They are but slight-
ly smaller than Shorthorns anil they
mature almost as early (at about thir-
MIXTURE FOR PASTURE
ty months). They are good feeders
and the quality of the meat is superior
to that of the larger breeds. It Is
generally believed that so-called beef
breeds are better for beef production
than dairy breeds or scrubs. A com-
parison of breeds at several experi-
ment stations showed no constant dif-
ferences In meat production among
beef breeds. The comparison In "is-
souri gave the Aberdeen Angus first
place in palatability of meat their ex-
treme uniformity in color and all
j around excellence.
It Is not difficult to dress the young
lad correctly, for In his case, as in
that of men, a few good styles are
\ given the stamp of approval early In

'".its close. Men are less Independent

A Sensible outfit for the schooll>o>-
fronijeight to sixteen is shown In the
pictur* above. It consists of knicker-
bockers in gray or brown mixture and
a Norfolk coat. These are worn with
a sot^ percale blouse with soft turn-
over collar and cuffs and an Incon-
spicuous four-in-hand tie.
The short topcoat Is made of a heavy
woolen material showing an indis-
tinct plaid. It Is double-breasted and
finished with large flap pockets, very
substantial and firmly sowed down. A
woolen cap, strong ribbed stockings
and calfskin laced shoes carry out the
appropriate details of the outfit. For
school, woolen gloves or those of dog-
skin tyre in keeping with the coat and
cap.
For formal dress a lad from ten to
seventeen wears a black Tuxedo of
soft finished worsted. The lapels of tho
jacket uro laced with grosgraln silk,
and the straight trousers are knee
length. Buttons are small and cloth
covered. With this suit a soft silk
blouse and Eton collar are worn and a
black four-in-hand tie. The vest Is of
white pique, cut high For tho most
formal of occasions, when full dress is
required, a vest of white corded silk or
'oi creped silk may be ,"C'"<1 '* all
cases the fastens win small pearl
buttons. Fine rlbber; stockings and
patent leather pumps complete the
youth's full dress. The topcoat Is of
dark oxford or dark blue cut hnee
length.
Save the Edges.
One woman's unfortunate experience
will prove of help to thousands of
her sisters, for she passes along the
following information: To prevent
the edges of an afghan from wearing,
and in time raveling, sew inch-wide
ribbon all around the corner. Let
the color of the ribbon match the most
prominent color in the afghan. When
the ribbon becomes soiled it can ho
very easily replaced.
Featuring Novel Ideas in Trimming
Variety of Seeds for Securing
Hay Crop of Good Quality.
i Plan Outlined for Permanent Sod That,
i If Properly Cared For, Will Im-
prove With Age—Mulch Af-
fords Protection.
Instead of seeding timothy alone,
the following mixture is suggested,
per acre: Timothy, ten pounds; red
clover, eight pounds; alsike, two
pounds; orchard grass, four pounds;
Italian rye grass, five pounds; English
rye, lour pounds; meadow fescue, lour
pc-jAin/lr . will give a
haof heft'ei"
quality than timo^^^lone, and when
left as pasture will afford a much
greater quantity of forage throughout
the growing season besides being ear-
lier. Kentucky bluegracs will usually
come into the pasture of its own ac-
cord but can be hastened by seeding
about Jive pounds with the mixture
mentioned above. If the grasses men-
tioned above are not available, then a
mixture of twelve pounds of timothy,
eight pounds of common red clover,
four pounds of mammoth clover and
four pounds of alsike may be seeded.
The grasses should be seeded in the
fall with the winter grain and the
clovers in the early spring when the
frost goes out, or bot.i may be seeded
together with the spring grain. If a
grass-seed attachment to the grain
drill is not available, the seed may be
mixed in tho proper proportions with
the grain in the grain box and al-
lowed to run down the grain tube
with the grain.
The timothy and clover will be
available for hay the first year after
the grain is cut. By the third year a
good permanent sod will bo secured
that, if properly cared for, will im-
prove with age. Such pastures will
not produce much feed during periods
of intensive drought, but if they have
been properly cared for will begin to
grow again as soon as rains come. To
avoid as much as possible the injury
from drought it is essential that pas-
tures be not grazed too closely There
should be a good green cover or
"grass mulch" in order to protect the
roots from the hot sun. Such a pas-
ture will remain green longer during
dry weather and will begin to grow
as soon as the drought is broken, thus
shortening the period of bare pas
tures.
KEEP THE COW-COMFORTABLE
Not Advisable in South to Go to Ex-
pense of Building Elaborate
Structures for Stock.
(By H M. COTTRKLL.)
The cow should have shelter and
care that will insure her being iom-
tollable 24 hours every day. This
will vary with the climate. In sum
iner cows need a shade with fre*
movements of air. This may be sup-
plied by a grove in which the under-
brush has been cleared out, or a shed
with a roof but no sides.
I would not go to the expense in the
South and Southwest of building a
barn with fixed stalls, cement floors
and gutters. I would dehorn my tows
and shelter them in a cloocd-in roomy
shed. I would arrange one side so
the cows could be tied up while being
riffrii^fid and while eating their silage
and graiil: J'he hay would be fed in
racks and the rowtNoxould run loose
except at milking time. orrreifwaj refer
the regular sanitary stable. What^
ever method is ujod, the surroundings j
should be arranged to give comfort, an
abundance of light and pure air and j
economical handling of the teed, the i
cows, their milk and the manure.
In handling cows watch their drop
pings and feed so that the droppings
will be like they are when the cows
are on good pasture. The profits in
many herds are lost because the cows
are fed combinations of feeds that \
make them constipated. Feed the cow
laxative feeds for two months before
her calf is duo. Twenty-four hours be
fore the calf is expected if she is con-
stipated at all, give her one and one-
quarter pounds of Epsom salts dis-
solved in water. Give this as a drench
j EVIDENTLY , NOT AN ARTIST
Judging From Comment, Bilkins Had
a Good Deal to Learn About
Photography.
Young Bilkius is an enthusiastic de-
votee of amateur photography. Ho al-
ways insists upon "taking" his family
and friends posed in more or less ar-
tistic attitudes.
Not long ago there was an exhibi-
tion of the work of a local photograph-
ic club to which the young fellow be-
longs, and where were displayed the
results of certain of his efforts to im-
mortalize his family and friends. In
one corner hung a group of figures i
twisted into the most extraordinary |
positions, the general effect being that
of persons in various stages of par-1
alysis.
"Who in the world are those queer-
looking people?" asked someone.
"Oh, those are some of Bilkins' j
strained relations," said a bystander.
One on Rufus Choate.
I Judge Parry, in a recent article on 1
j "Rufus Choate, Advocate," says on oc- j
casion Choate would meet with his
i Sam Weller. Defending a prisoner
for theft of money from a ship, a wit
1 ness was called who had turned states'
evidence and whose testimony went to
prove that Choate's client had insti-
gated the theft.
"Well," asked Choate, what did he
say? Tell us how and what he spoke
to you."
! "Why," said the witness, "he told us
there was a man in Boston named
| Choate and he'd get us off if they
caught us with the money in our
boots."

It was a minstrel performance, and
in the intervals between the songs the

I "Why," explained Sambo, "de old

There was a pause, and several eld

into the night.

GOOD SEED CORN IS DEFINED
It is true that a hat of almost any
shape may bo found among tho newly
arrived fall millinery and worn with
'entire qontklence as to its good style.
Tor hats are of all sizes and shapes,
and thi^ mode demands only that each
one bo " good to look at. not that it
shall !>• similar to others.
There are a few novelties In shapes
that halve made themselves promi-
nent, li/ke the Puritan, and adapta-
tions friorn it—the Puritan sailor, for
Instancy. There are high-crowned
sailors, jc-t any desired width of brim,
and maiiy wide-brimmed hats. Hut one
may choose a small, close-fitting tur-
ban, a i trlcorne or a quadrangular
shape, rtr depend upon irregular lines
and eccentricities of brim for effect.
ThroS attractive and conservative
hats are pictured In tho group above.
They (demonstrate the diversity in
size and shape that one may choose
from. Il'ha picturesque hat at the top
Is one o f many wide-brimmed hats It
has a li axible brim, very becoming to
youthful wearers, and depends for
novelty on Its trimming of heavy
woolen yarns. A spray of leaves made
of yarn is embroidered on the side j
crown and brim, and tho brim-edge is !
bound with a strip of woven angora. I
An exquisite hat at the left of tl e ]
group is made of silk laid over a
familiar sailor shape. It is a brocado
with flower motifs in silver and gold j
threads. As in the big velvet hat. a [
concession to the demand of the sea
son for simplicity in trimming is evi-
denced in this band of black velvet
ribbon about the crown It is finished
with two loops and two hanging ends
at the back, with the velvet cleverly
shirred into ball ornaments to weight
the ends. This is a shape that is
worn by maid or matron, with the
management of tho trimming adapting
It to the age of the wearer.
The same thing Is true of the turban
at the right. It has a soft crown of
velvet and a coronet covered with a
band of novel embroidery, made of
silk and little sequins. l'"or trimming,
a tall ear of velvet springs front a
small circle of ostrich libers, and Is
mounted on th« crcwn at the right side
toward the back of the shape.

Should Be Well Adapted to Seasonal
and Soil Conditions—Make Se-
lection From Stalks.
Many consider s^ed corn good sim-
ply because it will grow. To be iirst
class it must be—
Well adapted to your seasonal and
soil conditions.
Gnown on productive plants of a pro-
ducing variety.
Well matured and be preserved from
ripening time to planting time in a
way to retain Its full vigor.
Varieties that produce most in some
states are the poorest in others.
Seed ears taken from high-yielding
rows have repeatedly produced more
corn than ears taken from poor-yield-
Irc rows.
(Velf-preserved seed corn will give a
per cent higher yield than poorly
ta^t seed, on poor soil, and 27 per
coiit higher on fertile soil.
Much the best way to select seed
coin is from stalks standing where

GOOD DEMAND FOR PUMPKINS
Always Market in Cities for Nice
Specimens of Pie Material—Me-
dium Sizes Preferred.
There is always a marke: in the
cities, at fairly good prices, for nice
specimens of pumpkins and squashes
that will make good pie material.
Grocers handle a few, and others can
be retailed readily. For this trade,
medium-sized specimens of good qual
ity are preferred over the large over-
grown ones.
The old reliable Hubbard is a good
variety of squash to grow for market
purposes, and one of the small pie
pumpkins that possesses a good qual-
ity is better than the large varieties
which are usually grown for stock
iood.
Is it possible there is a woman in this country who con-
tinues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound a trial after all the evidence that is con-
tinually being published, which proves beyond contradic-
tion that this grand eld medicine has relieved more suffer-
ing among women than any other one medicine in the world ?
We have published in the newspapers of the United States
more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been pub-
lished in the interest of any other medicine for women —
and every year we publish many new testimonials, all gen-
uine and true. Here are three never before published:
I-rom Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I.
Providence, R. I.—" For the benefit of women who suffer as I have
dune 1 wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it
caused a displacement. I have always been weak and I overworked
after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous pros-
tration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound. The Compound is my best friend and
when 1 hear of a woman with troubles like mine I try to induce her
to take your medicine."—Mrs. !S. 'i'. Richmond, SI Progress Avenue,
Providence, R.I.
From Mrs. Maria Irwin, Peru, N.Y.
Peru, N.Y.—" Before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound I was vi y irregular and had much pain. I had lost three
children, and felt worn out all the time. This splendid medicine
helped me as nothing else had done, and I am thankful every day
that I took it,."—Mrs. Maria Irwin, R.F.D. 1, Peru, N.Y.
From Mrs. Jane D. Duncan, W. Quincy, Mass.
South Quincy, Mass.—"The doctor said that I had organic trouble
and he doctored me for a long time and I did not get any relieL I
saw I.ydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound ad-
vertised and I tried it and found relief before I had
finished the first bottle. I continued taking it all
through middle life and am now a strong, healthy
woman and earn my own living."—Mrs. Jane IX
