There are stout women who are worriers and wraiths who are jolly as crickets , but the general rule is - fret and grow thin . Sleeping well does not mean a fixed hour for everyone who is thin . The same amount of sleep is not needed by everyone , and each must judge the amount needed for herself . If possible , take time during the day for a half - hour nap . The best time for this is im- mediately before or just after luncheon . Eating well does not mean over - eating . This is a mistake of most would - be fatteners . Over - eating means indigestion , which breeds thinness . Usually the appetite is the best judge of how much to be eaten . Unless one is greedy it is hard to tell when enough food has been The total amount expended in premiums for bulls was £ 13,092 , and funds were set aside for the award of an aggregate of 958 premiums . 440 centres , and 579 bulls that had held pre- Local exhibitions were held at miums in 1912 were passed as suitable for further service , but only 560 were actually re- tained . Only 340 new applicants were selected , making the total 900 instead of the maximum of 959 provided for . Of this total nearly two - thirds were Shorthorns - namely , 509-185 Aberdeen - Angus , sixty - seven Here- fords , and fifty - six other breeds , and with few exceptions all the bulls were less than four years old , and more than a third of the total were yearlings . In addition , 265 bulls were placed under special arrangement for congested counties , making the total number of sires distributed under the scheme 1,165 . The number of premium boars was 995 , comprising 250 large whites , twenty large blacks , and 125 white Ulster .

With reference to my recent remarks on Stuffs Act to achieve what it was intended to the failure of the Fertilisers and Feeding do , I am reminded that failure to comply with the sampling regulations is not infre- quently the reason why successful proceedings are not taken when there has clearly been contravention of the Act . It may be well , 724 . One bovine animal and 3 pigs were at- tacked with anthrax in Leicestershire last week , and there was only one outbreak of sheep scab in Worcestershire , whilst cases of parasitic mange occurred in Derbyshire , Gloucestershire , Notts , Leicestershire , and Warwickshire , QUOITS WROUGHT STERL bearing the makers ' name can be obtained of all IRONMONGERS BIRMINGHAM QUOITS RULES of this GAME sent direct ca application to the MAKERS He who hath not a dram of folly in his mixture , hath pounds of much worse matter in his composition . - CHARLES LAMB . 4 The wise man will make the best of what the book is somewhat torn and soiled . he has , and throw away no lesson because Adversity is hard upon a man , but for one man who can stand prosperity there are a hundred who will stand adversity . - CARLYLE .

LOSS IN WEIGHT OF CATTLE IN TRANSIT . An important investigation has been car- ried out for several years in order to test the lose in weight of the different classes of cattle when conveyed by rail , and to discover the various factors causing a greater or smaller loss in the course of the journey . The loss in weight depends very materially upon the length of time the cattle are kept without food and water before being loaded ; the nature of the feed which the cattle have before loading - good hay is recommended as being superior to beet pulp or silage ; the weather conditions at the time of loading , during transit , and at the market ; the char acter of the journey slow , rough journeys causing greater loss and the treatment the cattle received as unloading stations ; the time of arrival at market - if the cattle arrive just before being sold they have no time to have a good feed . men . the education of penniless daughters of noble- Each of the young ladies is given a dowry of £ 200 , and is eagerly sought in mar- riage as a person of importance . WHAT IS A " HOWLER " ? Professor Adams defines it as a mistaken answer honestly given and having a certain foundation , and he takes an example to illus- trate his point . A friend of the professor asked his class what they knew of Eleanor of Poitou . There was no reply . At last one boy said " she was very fat . " " How do you know ? " asked the master , disconcerted - be cause he had no idea whether the Queen was fat or lean , " says the University Correspon- dent . " It's in the book , sir , " said the boy . " Where !
