F. Q. Kins, Animal H usbandry Depart- ; meet Experiment Station. I Cheap meat la found oftffiyy steer tod it Is also good meat when properly prepared. The higher priced cuts <*f a steer are more easily prepared in a palatable form but are no more nutritious than are the lower priced cuts when the latter have been thoroughly and properly cooked. Until the high price of meat caused more attention to be paid to the matter, there was somewhat of a prejudice In some localities against using anything in the way of cheap cuts of meat. The increase in cost of meat within the last few years has, however, caused a change in this adverse sentiment and has increased the knowledge of preparation of the cheaper cuts for the table until at present there is a much more general use of these kinds of meat than formerly., The higher priced cuts are made so principally because they are jucler and mbre tender and hence more readily made palatable. This is especially

Teaching the Young Tree How to Grow

Prof. C. G. Woodbury, Horticultural Department Purdue University. It is apparent to everyone that there is a state-wide movement for more and better fruit for home use. If proof were needed to show that the horticultural revival is here, it could be found

la the number of people of every class -who are putting out fruit trees this spring. Thousands of these trees will prove a disappointment. Thousands wlfl die within the next three months. They will die because they are not properly pruned. Young apple trees need to be almost remade if they are to grow satisfactorily. Young peaches receive a still more radical treatment before they learn how to grow into the right kind of trees. The educatloik of the tree and tree owner progress together. each continually benefiting the other. The first thing to do after receiving the trees Is to unpack and heel them tn. It is Important that nursery stock remain tn the box or bundle as short a time as possible. Before setting day comes the orchard should be laid, bff and if It is a small one, it IS well to set a stake to Indicate the position of each tree, taking care to get them properly lined up. A planting board may be used to get the tree in exactly the pis or occupied by the stake. The planting board la usually about

true of the loin and ribs, the lean portion of which consists of muscles that are used very'little, by the animal 'and therefore lacking in the development that causes them to become tough and to lack flavor. The rounds are com-, paratively high priced because there is little waste from bone and from excessive fat. Hie lean is not as tender as that of the loins and ribs but there is a greater per cent of lean to the entire weight of the cut Although the cheaper cuts of meat are meeting with more favor at present than formerly the loin, rlbj and rounds will continue to be the highest priced cuts of meat and the steer that furnishes the highest per’cent of these parts will ever be the steer that sells for the highest price. The feeder and breeder, especially the latter must lay great emphasis pn wide straight back and well developed hind quarters, because those parts are the ones that the butcher sells for the highest price and the ones for which he will pay the most money,

six feet long with a notch or hole at each end and a notch on the edge half way between the ends. Before setting the young tree all diseased or broken roots should be cut off. The balance of the roots are usually cut back about a third. Don’t leave an air space under the crown of the tree. Put the top soil about the roots and pack.it firmly and carefully. Leave a little loose earth on top to prevent baking of the -oil- After the tree Is set it should be pruned as promptly as possible. Peach trees are pruned to a whip. Likewise one-year-old apples. Twoyear apples are pruned as shown in the cut. The limbs are thinned out to not more than five; three will do If well distributed. These are headed back to three or four buds, leaving the last bud on the outside, the leader Is also headed In, hut may be left somewhat longer than the side branches. This seems like a pretty hard lesson for the young tree. It profits, however, by the treatment. If the pruning is neglected under the mistaken impression that it checks the growth of the tree, death is likely to result. The moisture gathering ability of the root system is greatly reduced when the tree Is dug from the nursery row. The leaf bearing growth has been developed to correspond to the moisture supply furnished by-the entire root system. Hence It is necessary to reduce the leaf bearing wood to the point Where the temporarily crippled root system can supply its demands. If we do not the leaves come out from the plant food already stored up in the tissues and transpire moisture from their surfaces faster

TOO MUCH OF A BATH

SWIMMERS UTTERLY UNABLE TO APPRECIATE JOKE. S I '-fv ''v ~ ... l i. i. i ■*. ij., * i. K t Tyson and Botts, Kept In Water for Hours by Two Fool Friends, Emerged Therefrom In Most Unchristtanlike Mood. I t ...: .;.!•** ■■ ■ They take boarders out at Dr. Jones?, and among them are Messrs. Tyson and Botts, two young men who are engaged in businesp in the city. One day in. July, after supper, Tysond and Botts Went down to the creek to take a swim. As soon as they left’ the house, two or three of the other fellows hinted that it would be a good joke for two of them to dress In women’s clothes and go over and scare Tyson and Botts. So several of them borrowed some skirts and hats and other female fixings, and, after assuming them, started toward the cr,eek. The two swimmers saw them coming and began to paddle up stream to get out of their way. The female figures came nearer and took seats on the bank of the stream, so close to the clothes of the swimmers that there was no chance at all for Tyson and Botts to sneak out and dress themselves hurriedly. And the supposed women sat there In the mpst aggravating manner, while Tyson and Botts stayed In the wafer shivering. Presently they got up to go, the swimmers thought; but, to the horror of the latter, they perceived the women get Into a boat and begin to paddle up stream. They went very slowly, and- so Tyson and Botts had time enough to swim farther up, in order to get out of the way. The boat followed them up for about a mile, and then Tyson concluded to do something to explain the situation to the ladies. He was beginning to feel sick.

Accordingly he shouted at the top of his voice, and Botts shouted; but those idiotic women still continued to pull up stream. The swimmers were almost crazy, and at last they made a dash for the bank and hid behind the bußhes. Then the 'kronen in the boat turned round and began to row down the stream. Botts and Tyson got in the water again and swam after the boat The women landed close by their clothes, and, to the amazement of the swimmers, picked them up and began to walk off with them. Then Tyson and Botts became excited and swam In close to the shore to hulloa at the women, and then the women began to laugh, and' the victims of the joke saw Just how it was. When they emerged from the water they didn’t join in the merriment They seemed gloomy and sad. As soon as Botts got his shirt on he went np to' Peters and shook his fist under his nose, and Bald: “You red-headed idiot. I've got a notion to bang the liver out of you! Oh, you may laugh, but if you ever try any of your jokes on me again I’ll murder you! Now, you mind me!” Tyson and Botts will board elsewhere 'next summer.—New York Weekly.

The Peasant’s View.

One of Lord . Desborough’s best anecdotes relates to a clergyman who was far more at home in the hunting field than In the pulpit, says Tit-Bits. On the morning of a meet he was much annoyed at having to officiate at a funeral, hut this over, he mounted his horse and started in pursuit of his friends. On the road he sought Information of an old woman with a donkey cart. "Wen,” she said, "If you ride to the top of the hill you win come to a “meenister;” then, If you turn to the right, you wiU be likely to come up with them,” Handing her a shilling, he said: “My good woman, why did you call the signpost a minister?” 'Why, you see, sir, It’s like this: we used to call 'em signposts, but since you’ve been In parts we calls ’em meenisters, ’cos though they points other folks the way, they never goes themselves.

DROWSY GOD A SHREWD FOE

Mate Churchgoers Find It Hard to Resist Hie Power, Though Worton Seem Immune. Why is it that men will go to sleep In church? the Washington Post in-, quires. What profound meanings lie at the bottom of this inclination to somnolence on the part of the brother dearly beloved when under the ministrations of the bishop of his soul? No one ever heard of a woman sleep-' -lnff during a sermon. She is as bright and as alert at the conclusion of the sermon as she was when the text was, read. But man, poor man—he, like the sluggard, slumbers and sleeps. His recordTs bad from the beginning. Acts XX contains the lnevorable record of the first offender—of one Eutychus, who, while Paul preached, sank into sleep and fell from the third window. Let a word be said In defense of the Order of Eutychus. And in thus coming to their support there is no wish to cast reflection upon the wideawake and breezy sermonizer. To begin with, man is inferior to his mate in the highest, sensibilities of the soul. Calloused in his nature, the assembled array of dresses and bonnets is wholly without appeal to his sordid instincts. What does he know about the cut bias or the latest effect in ruehlngs? Or whether the Jones girls have turned the black bombazine they have worn for two seasons already? Or how much Deacon put into the contribution box? None of these inspirations comes to bis relief. Instead he begins with good intentions, lining out the text, and setting himself resolutely to unimpeachable behavior. But tor no avail. The soft swish of the skirt of the late arrival, the hynotlc spell of the music, the murmur of repeated responses, the chanting intonations, the rising and falling inflections of. the speaker, are too much. The imp of insomnia flees, the eyelids fall and close, the drowsy gul usurps the throne of his righteous purpose, and he is disgraced again, as the audible snore resounds against the chancel and reverberates from the celling. He awakes with a start and tries to look solemn and duly impressed, but it is too late!

The Infinite.

“The soul is infinite and it cannot rest until it rests in the infinite. But lust and hunger are not infinite, and neither are the titillations of pleasure and praise. And the agency or hope of unescapable death —of involuntary dying—these one can measure. But there is something In death and the master of death that you cannot measure. There Is no' infinity in just dying; but to see a man that is willing to die for love, that goes to meet death in the way, and with perfect sweetness and sanity celebrates defeat —that Is to be Infinite. It is like an arrow passing swiftly up into the air and not returning; like the still energy of plants or the resistless growing of grass, or like the haunting, thrilling murmur of remembered music that faded down the avenue as the soldiers went to war. You are left endlessly expectant; you cannot come to an end, but must follow that which is beyond, and still beyond.”—Charles Ferguson. ' ‘“t~

Hubby’s Happy Hunting.

He Sat down with a bounce. He rose with a bound. % ‘Tow—yow!” he shouted. “I’m stabbed r "Good gracious, Cyril, what a noise you do make!” exclaimed his wife. ‘What’s the matter?” "Matter!" yelled Cyril, In anguish. "I’m in pain—In agony! Send for the doctor, Mabel! I can feel the blood mining down my leg! Now, keep calm. Cyril!” he went on, capering madly around the room. “Keep calm, my boy! ‘On the hanks of Allan Water —’ Mabel, don’t stand there staring! Do something!” She did. She made a sudden dart forward, wheeled him rtrand with a little squawk of Joy, and extracted a long hatpin from his anatomy. "Why, Cyril, It’s my hatpin!” she cried delightfully. "Oh. I am glad I Where ever did you find it?”

Heroic Prescription.

Ruth Mason of Holyrood road, Just past five, is not only an attendant upon Sunday school but a Bible reader. Also she loves to play doctor. Attired In her father’s coat and topper, a pair of glasses on her nose and a make-believe cigar In her mouth, she pretended to make a professional call on-her mother, who is Indisposed for the moment. After feeling her mother's pulse, looking at her tongue and considering for a minute, she gave her orders: “A white pill every hour, a brown pill every other hour.” "But, doctor,” her mother complained, "I’ve a severe pain In my eye.” “Pluck it out," prescribed Dr. Ruth, "and cast It from thee.” —Cleveland Leader.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN

MOST IMPORTANT POINT IN MATTER OF GLOVES. Worn Too Tight, They Will Bpoll the Look of Even the Most Dainty Hand—First Putting on Important. Nothing makes a hand more unnattractlve than a glove that is too tight. Yet how often one sees women with their hands almost bursting from thefr gloves, so tightly are they squeezed Into them. A too tight glove will make even a Blender, graceful hand look commonplace and pudgy and a hand inclined to flesh almost repulsive. So in choosing gloves one should be very careful to get them large enough, and to have the patience to have them properly fitted in the first place by a good glove fitter. If they are not fitted properly at first the tips of the fingers nevep work down and the hand Is made rldlculouß and dowdy by the pointed tips. If the fitting is properly done the gloves will not twist and wrinkle, and will actually wear longer than if hurried Carelessly over the fingers for the first time.

If one has to put on gloves without the assistance of a fitter the hands should be warm and the gloves well powdered, then the fingers should be Insinuated into their receptacles, and finally the thumb and the hand shotftd be fitted, but not until the fingers have been carefully worked in. To remove the 'glove pull It over the hand and do not drag it by the finger tips, for this spoils the Bhape completely. After removing the gloves and turning them right side again they should have the stretchers used to restore the shape and should be sprinkled again with powdered French chalk.: < Fresh gloves are a necessary adjunct to the toilet of the woman seeking daintiness, but when they are cleaned they should be cleaned several days before they are to be worn, so that the fumes of gasoline, and no odor is more objectionable to the sensitive nostril, may entirely disappear, otherwise the whole effect of one’s personality may be marred by the disagreeable fumes of gasoline. ~

Fringe Trimmings.

Fringes are seen on many of the new lingerie gowns as girdle and tunic trimming. One beautiful variety is of knotted silver braid, very long, and with the strandß set very far apart. Strips of cut cloth and leather in Indian fashion trim walking frocks. ' Coarse crochet has several sizes of small wooden beads knotted into it. This last gives charming color possibilities in odd, crazy-quilt effects. But the best of these fringe trimmings Is that most of them can be duplicated by the home seamstress, thus saving money and gaining originality by modification.

Small Girl's Hobble Skirt.

There Is apparently considerable diversity of opinion as regards the rect position for the belt on the small girl's frock. Many of the smartest little French dresses show the sash in practically normal place, while on other frocks the belt Is so far down as to hamper the tiny fearer in her walk almost as absurdly as does the hobble skirt of the moment Inconvenience her elders. The abnormally long-waisted effect obtained by placing the belt almost at the hem of the frock is charmingly quaint on some children, bat Is not becoming to every type.-—Harper’s Bazar.

TRUE NOTE IN DECORATION

Fitness of Useful and Ornaments! Articles In Room Must Be First Consideration. The true method of making a room beautiful is to make aH the necessary and useful things in It beautiful; so much is this true that it becomes almost impossible to design a really beautiful room that Is to have-no useful work done In it or natural life lived in it. An architect called upon to design a room sh which nothing more earnest Is to be done than to gossip over afternoon tens has 4 sad job; * - • - * x»t*****m*ii»*m«*** V For ft room most always derive Its dignity or meanness from, mad reflect somewhat, the character and kind of occupation which la Carried on In it. For instance, the studio of sn artist, the study of a man of letters, the workshop of a carpenter,, or the kitchen of a farmhouse, each in Its position and degree, derives a dignity and Interest from the work dene In It. And the things In the room bear some relation to that work, and will be the furniture and surroundings natural to it; as the bench and tools In the carpenter’s shop; the easelft and canvases in the studio; the books and papers in the study; and the bright pans and crockery In the kitchen. All these lend a sense of active, useful, human life to the room, which redeems it from vulgarity, though it be the simplest possible; and no amount of decoration or ornamentation can give dignity or homeliness to a room which is used as a show room, or In which no regular useful Ufa is lived. For In the work room all things have a place by reason of their usefulness, which gives a sense of fitness and repose entirely wanting in a Where a place has obviously had to be found for everything, aft to a drafting room.
