Strange, yet true, high priced feeds have brought an in creased demand (or higher condini tioned animals of all kinds. The poor, old cow is not much In demand, fresh beef and fat beef la what the beef eater asks for regardless ot price, The canned beef 1? not the thing with' the common people or the uncommon. The same ia ..true with mutton and pork eatorg; everybody wants high conditioned, fleshy animals. The poor old horse and thin young horse ls discriminated against in the market until the horse dealer has be come a horse conditioner, or more properly speaking, there has been cre ated through this demand for flesh a new middle man wi'iose business is buying up the out-ol!-condltion horse and putting him in the feed lot,: where a bunch of his kind are con gregated to be fed out, fattened like a lot of steers -for the fat market, ex cept the fat horse goes to the city horse market to be sold and put into team work on the streets. The heavy draft horse made fat is I In demand, and if in matched teaing brings the top prices in the markst. Fine, stylish, big horses, of course, mean much more than merely fat horses, but this excellent quality of hors8 to sell for the highest price must be in high flesh. A fat horse always looks good, especially to the man who knows little or nothing, about a horse, no "matter what his imperfections may be. This is where the old saying originated, no doubt,, "A high condition of flesh covers up1 many defects." It is now customary among profes sional horse raisers and dealers to grow and put flesh on tho colt just as rapidly as he can stand it. The soon er he attains horse size the sooner he is marketable and the more money hie makes his producer. The stock raiser of to-day of any kind of ani mal seeks early maturity, and the faster and fatter the animal grows j and develops the better for the profit j Bide of the account.-Twentieth Cen? tury Farmer. ; Occasionally.

When, crocheting an edge on round luncheon doylies simply turn the hem on the wrong side and baste the hem. Then place a large needle in the ma chine, leaving it unthreaded. Follow the hem carefully around and you will have a number of holes of suffi cient size to insart the crochet needle and of equal distance apart. Crochet the edge and when done pull out bast ings and hem will hold and still have a neat finish not obtained by hand hemming.-New York World. AN EMERGENCY SHELF. My pet emergency dish for lun cheon, dinner or supper is based on a can of chicken. If for luncheon it is creamed and served on toast. For dinner it appears as chicken pot pie with cream gravy.' For supper, what could be better than a chicken y'?lad when mayonnaise is always ready. In connection with th's, may I suggest to every, housekeeper an emergency shelf, on which should be found can3 of soup, salmon, a jar of salad dress ing; most anything that will -keep. Such a.. shelf robs unexpected com pany of half its terrors.-Boston Post. A DISCARDED WAIST MADE NEW. I had a favorite lingerie Waist, trimmed in an elaborate fashion with val. insertion, which had broken apart and fallen away from the fab ric, rendering an otherwise good waist an article for the rag bag. Ona day I conceived this plan for renovat ing It, which I carried out with flat tering success: After carefully meas uring the insertion on waist I got | the required length of new, but bought it a trifle wider. This I bast ed over the old as though basting over a pattern showing where to ap- j piy same. I then stitched both edges of new insertion to waist and cut the j old from beneath lt, turning back and finishing the raw edges in the usual | way. I now have a practically new waist, "a thing of beauty," and, if not "a joy forever*" then with a new lease of life.-Boston Post. ABOUT OLIVE OIL. In this country there seems to ex ist an unconquerable dislike for oil in all Its uses and states. As a matt.r of fact, it Is efficacious ? as a beautifier and h?alth-builder. It is an excellent fattener, and if one can acquire the habit of taking a j tablespoonful after each meal it ;.s an aid to the digestion, complexion and general health. After every bath anemic children should be rubbed with olive oil to ! strengthen them. i Hot olive oil will relieve the lame- ? ness in the feet which is caused by long standing.

A painter cr any other mechanic is sometimes called upon to paint or re pair work which is very unhandy to reach.

The grip on the root peak should not be less than six or eight inches. The second or working ladder, C, was sup ported on the first ladder, A, by an extension leg, D, made ot four by three timber of tough quality. The ioct of this leg, D, was shaped as shown in detail to fit against the rounds of the ladder on the roof. A plate, E, furnished with a number of holes for a couple of U bolts, F, was screwed down to" the leg, D. The holes were staggered, and spaced two and one-half inches apart on each side, allowing adjustment of one and one-fourth inch each way, to accom modate different pitch of roofs. The distance apart of each group of holes in the plate, E, should equal the dis tance apart of rounds of the ladder, usually one foot, so that the rounds of the ladder will bear on the U An innovation in railway train lighting has been adopted by the Western Maryland Railroad, which taps the West Virginia gas fields.

A strip of one-fourth-inch walnut about two feet long and one inch wide is procured and a quarter ireh slot is .cut in T?\cxtending nearly its entire length. A thumbscrew is fitted to run in this groove and engages a block which is adapten to slide along the under side of the strto. At one end of the strip a permanent block ls fastened. To make a straight cut in a "board at any prescribed angle with one ol ita edges the walnut fatrip ls fitted to it parallel to the line of the desired cut and so that the two opposite ex tremities of the board are clamped between tho permanent block and the adjustable block. The guide plate is then clamped in position, its edge parallel to the plane of the saw, at such a distance that when the strip is placed against the edge of the guide, thc saw will exactly coincide with the line to be sawed.-Scientific American.

The blouse is made over a fitted lining, and itself consists of frontB and back, the fronts are tucked to yoke depth only, but the backs from shoulders to waist line. The fancy sleeves are made over plain founda* tionF, and these are faced to form the cuff or uuder-sleeves.

Here aro three, all of which arc attractive and graceful. One is made with an oddly shaped cuff, one with a deep cuff pointed at the inner edge and one is cut off in~three-quar ter length and joined to a straight band, but all are equally correct. For the sleeves any pretty thin material is appropriate, and the cuffs can be made to match or of contrasting ma terial, as liked.
