Special Features of Live Stock

The Indiana State Fair is going to be immensely rich in features for admirers -of fine live stock—horses. cattle, sheep and swine. The Fair always holds one of the largest sheep and swine shows to be seen in the United States, while the horses and cattle not only number hundreds of animals, all of them sleek in their beauty and of bluest blood in quality, will be seen in the beautiful coliseum in ring shows and special events, and when not in the arena they will be on view in the large and spacious barns.

Government reports, the value of the cattle on Indiana pastures is $173,859,671, and the flower of these herds will he seen in the cattle shows at the coliseum of the Indiana State Fair, week of Sept. 4.

Racing Program at the State Fair

For many years the trotting and pacing races at the Indiana State Fair have made up one of the strongest racing programs given on an American course. Some of the great horses of the time have given sensational performances over the Indiana track, which now holds the world’s race record of 1:581, one of the finest in the country. The racing program for the State Fair during the week of Sept. 4 will have a total of 944,600 in purses, Tweking it one of the richest meetings ever held. There are seats for 20,000 people at the track, half of them free to spectators. The greatest trotters and phcers from the big American circuits will start in the various events.

These shows will be on such pretentious scale that a visitor may, if desired, spend the entire day viewing the spectacles presented in the coliiseum, In recent years the night shows have been attended by crowds which fill the big building—the largest of its kind in the United States. With the coliseum filled to its capacity, with a band concert, a great show of horses in the immense arena, the coliseum presents a glowing picture the like of which is unforgettable to one who views it.

both American and Indiana breeders' associations. The cattle shows will be held in the coliseum both morning arid afternoon of the Fair, with band concerts, and at the same time great shows of light harness and draft horses will be held. These day shows will be open to all visitors without charge. They will be much more than brilliant spectacles of live stock —will prove a source of inspiration and information to all owners of cattle and horses who would improve their own herds. * Stripped of every other line of displays, the tattle and horse shows of the Indiana State Fair would in themselves make the big exposition worth while to the farming people of the State.

points for Mothers

In the Nursery. Fresh ripe fruit without sugar very wholesome, especially if eaten I:, the .parly part of the day. So much sugar is often added to stewed fruit as to make it undesirable for some children, especially those subject tc skin trouble. To make an attractive screen for the nursery get a light bamboo screen tan old one will do) and remove the silko line with which these are usually covered. Substitute dark red or green cambric and cover it with colored pie tures, pasted on so that each panel i‘ given over to one kind, such as flow ers, animals, children, etc. The screer will prove its value in the early mor:, ing hours when the baby will lie and look at the pictures instead of starling an untimely concert. A pretty crib cover may be made from a yard each of white and pale blue or pink flannel. On the colored flannel embroider a flower and bow knot design, on the white a conven tional border and a large central mon ogram. Bind the two together by means of wide satin ribbon and put the bow or rosette in one corner, with the colored side considered as the top. When a child eats or drinks anything that is hot enough to burn the mouth give him a teaspoonful of pure olive oil, telling him to hold it in his mouth as long as possible before swallowing it. One Mother’s Experience. A wise young mother who seems to have excellent control over her little ones let fail a few words of wisdom at a ‘■mothers' club" recently. “When my babies are tired at night and it’s time for them to go to bed.” she said when another mother asked her how she succeeded so well in getting her children to bed without a row. “I never say ’Get ready for bed at once and put away your playthings immediately.’ for that will call forth tears and a protest against the strict command. Instead I say. ’Nearly time for bed. so put away your play things in a few moments.’ In this way they have fair warning, and they are seldom unwilling to gt) when the final signal comes. That’s my very simple method.” It is well for Young mothers to remember this one mother’s way. for it’s the keynote of the real understanding of the child heart. Sympathy is a quality children never fail to under stand and appreciate. Imagine a mother being told by some one in authority to put down her book without finishing the one chapter which is the most interesting in the whole hook Would it not at least save a frown of impatience to be told to finish the chapter first? - Helping Backyard Children. Many mothers would be perfectly willing to help their children with their school work if they only knew how. If a child is slow to read and spell it will help to say, “Shut the d-o-o-r.” “Get me a b-o-o-k. please;’’ “Your hair is b-r-o-w-n,” “Your eyes are b-l-u-e.” Then encourage the child to tell you something the same way. even if it is only “Look at the c-a-t.” If there are some new words to spell give the child an old newspaper and a pair of scissors and let her cut out the letters and form the words who. been. work. etc. This will impress the letters on tjie mind more than repeating them. To tempt children to read rouse their curiosity by putting a picture in the middle of the sentence, as the trai ■ went into a hole. Tell a story and spell a word'oeca sionally. as: Once there was a de;.: little (rabbit) and it nad long icarsj It went for a little (walk) one day in the (field), etc.

Ten Commandments For Baby. Give the baby its food at regular ■ hours. ; Give the baby water. Give the baby no medicine unless ; prescribed by the doctor. Give the baby a tub bath every day. Do not put warmer clothes on the baby in the summer time than you wear yourself. Keep a window open night and daY 'in the baby’s room. Colds come from ' closed windows, not from open ones. ' If the baby does not gain weight see the doctor. Something is wrong. Do not rock the baby to sleep. Put it down and let it cry itself, to sleep. I Boil all milk before giving it to tbo baby. If you cannot employ a doctor apply to the nearest police station.

Teaching Chivalry. “My little boy has always been ver? chivalrous in his attitude toward me.” said a mother recently. “This trait I make use of now when be comes from school saying, as most small boys do at one time or another, ’I don't like the teacher.’ I talk about the large number of little boys the teacher has under her charge, how tired she must get, how much she needs strong, manly little boys to help her. and my son decides at once that he'd like to be a brave, strong knight to protect | the teacher. He always goes back in ! a helpful frame of mind.”
