Mo.--Smearing lipstick on too thickly, failure to manicure the finger nails properly, not eating fruit daily, being hungry too often between meals and contracting coldi easily are just a few of the things which may be the tell-tale indications that a college girl Is not overly intelligent-- or, to be scientific about it, not very#hiy> in her "I. Q." These facts and many other Intimate glimpses into the life of college girls have been brought to light by the research of Mrs. Esther Stearn, professor of chemistry at Christian college, a girls' school here. ' Many Are Dieting. The Investigation showed that 416 per cent of all college girls are. dieting to reduce their weight. In making the study, the twentyfive students ranking highest in the intelligence tests were compared to the lowest twenty-five. Two hundred and twenty-five other cases were considered.*^ Ninety per cent of the low "I. Q." group use lipstick, while only 70 per cent of the other group employ it, the report showed. Over 50 per cent of the high group give daily care to their finger nails, while only 25 per cent of the lower group do their dally manicure. Seemingly the mentally bright get that way by practice, for they spent an average of fifteen hours each week at their studies, while the lower ranking students spent only 11.9 hours. Fruit Aids Mind. It would also seem that being intelligent is another manner of keeping the doctor away, for 4& per cent of the high group never went to the Infirmary, while only 28 percent of the low group escape medical attention. While both groups use candy in about equal quantities, only 50 per cent of the low ranking students eat fruit each day, as compared to 75 per cent in the other group. \ FARM. €K SILAGE FED FOR 1.

Riectrlc blues and pearl grays also will be popular, they predict Profits From Two Methods Found to Vary. ' vIn a test receiitly completed at the Ohio experiment station, an acre of torn in the form of silage produced 752 pounds of gain on yearling steers. A similar acre fed as shelled corn produced only 372 pounds of gain In the form of beef." The silage fed steers were given no grain.

Mr. and Mrs. John Blomgren and silage dally, two pounds of cottonseed meal and a small amount of mix$d hay, they gained an average of two pounds a day for 174 days. The lot fed shelled corn, cottonseed meal, stover and mixed hay gained somewhat more, but the increased rite of gain, was not important enough to equal-* ize the low cost of gain on the silage fed steers. The silage, cattle inade a profit of $8.58 per head, including pork gains, nnd the grain fed cattle, 13.46 per head. An acre of corn fed in the form of silage returned a sum of $71.65 an acre. In the form of shelled corn, the return was $50.80 per acre. As silage, an acre of corn furnished enough feed to last one steer 375 days. When fed as shelled corn, one crop acre carried a steer only 166 days. The field of corn used yielded 48 bushels per acre as grain and 8.8 tons per acre as silage. Dressing percentages were 58.6 on the silage fed steers and 60.6 on the grain fed cattle. Packers said there was little difference in the^ quality and condition of the two lots in the beef. Prof. Paul Gerlaugh of the Ohio station points out that profits from the two methods of feeding will vary from year to year according to market prices, but he believes that any method of feeding which produces the results obtained by the all-silage test is worthy of consideration. Work-Stock Efficiency Should Be Increased The work-stock population on farms Is on only a half-rate replacement basis. The average age of work animals is higher than It was a few years ago; The Significance of this situation Is not that horses and mules are going to disappear from all farms, but that horse farmers must make more efficient use of their work animals. There is no good reason for keeping In the harnes|s ho rse that Is unable for one reason or another to do an ^honest day's work. Is the animal inherently unfitted for the job? Get rid of it. Is it merely a case of neglected upkeep--failure to feed the animal properly, or to take care of his ailments? Mend your ways of handling the beasts. Is it a case of the two or three-horse team being inadequate? Try multiple hitchings. Edison's Home Town Plans to "Light Up" West Orange, N. J.--The home town of Thomas A.

Swine Sanitation and Correct Feed for Pork Swine sanitation and feeding balanced rations to sows, pigs and fattening hogs took six weeks off the pork production period for 458 Illinois farmers this year, -states B. T. Robbins, University of Illinois. The earlier market Is usually the better one and the difference In price six weeks earlier may make the difference in profit and loss on hogs. The co-operators used corn, legume pasture, rape, alfalfa hay, skim milk, soy beans, tankage, oil meal, limestone, bone meal and salt In compounding their rations. With their sanitation and good rations farmers were able to produce 200-pound iiogs in six months or less time.

Consumers' Demand for Lamb Meat Increasing One-third of all of the lamb wlilch the nation produces is consumed in greater New York. The drop In price which has occurred during the past six months has put lamb on a price basis with beef and pork. As a result, many people throughout the central and western part of the . United Stamps have been purchasing it. Needless to say, a liberal percentage of these folks have become lamb boosters. This should result in a fairly reliable consumers' demand for lamb meat In the future, and providing the price does not become unreasonably high, It would seem as though there would be a dependable outlet.

Crossbreeding It Is true that crossbreeding has decided dangers and disadvantages. Principal among them is the tendency to save a good looking crossbred bull calf for breeding purposes. Such an individual will not breed true and will be a very inferior sire. If it is desired to produce a grade beef-grading herd, the crossbred IK ifers should be bred to a good pure bred beef sire of the same breed as the original cross.
