OUR FARMERS.
FARM NOTES.

The ability to keep things neat
about the stables and barnyards is
presented when we pursue the method
( of hauling the manure to the fields
and spreading it as fast as made, per-
mitting it to leach where it will do
the most good.
Shredded fodder wastes less because
it is eaten up cleaner; the refuse
makes better bedding; it is easier to
handle in the manure pile; it does not
hurt the mouths of cattle, and packs
more conveniently in the NOV.
AS we know clover roots penetrate
the soil to great depth, loosen itand
carry down the plant food. Every
farm er can afford to at least use this
means of feeding and draining his
land, even if he can not afford sub
soil pillow.
1t costs something to keep property
insured, but it is the only safe course
to be pursued by the farmer. He can
not afford to allow his policy to lapse.
The loss of his buildings and contents
in these times would be a calamity
which would mean ruin usually.
American farmers do not under
stand the management of small
pieces of ground as they might, as
they are used to cheap lands and
large farms. We might learn some
very profitable lessons from the i'm
migrants who come to us, for they
grow rich where an American would
slowly starve.
Do not go into winter quarters
without plenty of food on hand for
the mind as we'll as for the body.
Keep the young folks in mind while
making the selection. For yourself,
have practical works on the different
branches Of agriculture, together with
books of instruction along general
lines.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
1.ich Velvets and Brocades For Uphol-
sto~ing-The Day Of Reliefs-1Jew
Photography Frames.

! From the great variety of fabrics set
before US it seems that every age in ev-
cry nation has been subject to a revival.
We have had everything, from the skins
Of animals to rich draperies that take
US back to the days Of Louis XVI. We
grow more luxurious in our tastes and
more extravagant in our ideas as the
years go by. But we seem now to have
arrived at a point where we change the
style of our furniture with the turn of
each season. In the spring it is cues
ton Of summer draperies; in the autumn
the search is for draperies that impart
a sense Of warmth. AS reported in The
Paritan, where money is no object vel
vets and brOcades will be much used,
especially the latter. A wealth Of the
tempting fabrics are now on the market.
They come in all colors, including
many old favorites and not a few
shades hitherto unknown. A huge arm
chair upholstered in brocade is luxury
itself.
But not alone for upholstering is this
rich material used. For inside curtains
it is most suitable, and there are reasons
to believe that it will be more favored
than the chenille portieres at which we
have gazed long and unlovingly. The
brocade comes in widths sufficient for
curtains and can be bought in desired
lengths.
For the admirer Of leather upholster-
ing a new product called pantasote has
been put upon the market. It is a great
deal cheaper than leather, and those
who have tried it claim that it cannot
be distinguished from the genuine arti-
Gle, will wear even better and does not
absorb moisture. The new product is
made plain or grained to initiate mo-
rocco, seal, alligator and hogskin. Those
who desire patterns in relief can have
them stamped to order, and here again
the proud owner Of a coat of arms may
set his seal. This is the day of reliefs
Many persons well up in classics, or pre-
tending to be, are having their library
furniture upholstered in pantasote re-
iefs. While it is merely conceit, it is
a very pretty one, especially, as young
matron said, when your relief subjects
have good profles.

1t is a matter of wonderment to
many why so large proportion of
farmers build their homes close to the
road, when they have the whole farm
behind them. Instead of a fresh
green lawn in front of the house there
is only the dusty road, with it's curl
GUS passers-by and clouds of dust
from every passing team. A house
gains in dignity of appearance when
set back from the street, especially if
a tree or two is planted SO as to shade
the door. Study to make the farm
attractive as well as productive.

Treatment For Tired Feet.

When the feet are tired and painful
after waikiki or shopping all day, moth
ing will affo-l them SO much relief as a
warm footbath. Take hot water, as hot
as can be borne, and place handful of
salt in it. Soak the feet in this for four
or five minutes, we'll rubbing the legs
with the hands during the process. Aft
er taking the feet out of the water rub
again briskly with a soft towel
Rubbing the feet with extract of
witch hazel has a soothing effect, and

SlLAGE FOR MILK COWS.

There can be little doubt concern
ing the great value of properly made
silage for milk COWS. But those who
! have only limited number of COWS
| 1ess than five) do not always see their
way clear of having and filing a silo
for a few animals. When one has
plenty of barn room, fodder can thus
be saved in good condition. The New
Jersey Experiment station has made
some experiments to determine the
relative cost and feeding value of the
dry matter of dry corn fodder and
silage. The New Jersey station finds:
First, that the cost of harvesting,
storing and preparing the dry matter
contained in corn was greater in the
form of silage than in the form Of dry
fodder. Second, that the changes that
occur in the composition of silage
were not such as to decrease its feed
ing value in a greater degree than
those which occur in the process of
curing corn fodder. Third, that for
milk and butter production the feed
ing ualue of the dry matter Of
the silage was greater than that
of dried fodder corp. The yield
of milk was 1913 per cent greater, and
the yield of fat 1914 per cent greater.
Fonrth, that at one cent pound for
the milk produced, the value of the
the corn crop was nearly $40 an acre
greater when fed in the form of silage
than in the form of dried fodder.
In other words, the station proves
that silage gives far better results, in
a general way, than the dried fodder,
but it does so also at an increased
cost Whether the increased value
of the corn in the form of silage over
that of the dry cure fodder over
balances the increased cost of making
silage over the dry curing process de-
ponds on individual conditions, es-
pecially the scale of the operations.

the organs, thereby aiding nature in the per-
