would be far better to have a velvet

Beauty Too Much Adorned.

In former days, says the London
Graphic, it was not considered good
taste for women to wear much jewel
ry, and in the old pictures by the great
masters most OF the women are paint
ed either without such ornaments OF
with only string Of gold or of pearls
around the neck. OF late years it has
become the fashion to carry thousands
of pounds worth of jewelry in the
hair, on the neck, on the bodice, and
on the wrists and fingers. Several
prominent artists are now preaching
the doctrine of simplicity as regards
the use Of jewelry.

Holding on Your Stock.


This is always serious question to
consider. How long shall one hold on
to the stock when feed is scarce and
high in price? OF course good mar
ket at profit would tempt any man
to sell, and no false step might be
taken, but to sell the stock at IA sacri-
flee is nearly always bad policy. Yet
many do this. They actually go into
the cattle business as sort of specu-
lation. If feed and prices are salts
factory they win make money. IL
feed is high and prices have not ad-
vanced correspondingly they sell and
lose. Such policy is ruinous. 1t is
much better if we exhibited a few
more Of the gritty principles of the
bulldog and hung on. There may some
times be danger in hanging on too
long, but as a rule most of us get dis
couraged too soon. With poor food
and hlgh-priced fodder prevalent all
over the country the prices for cattle
are bound to advance. These prices
never do seem to go up, however, until
most of the stock has been sacrificed.
Then for some strange reasons the
market advances and somebody makes
money.
Speculation has a good deal to do
with this. Shrewd dealers go forth
| and purchase stock wherever they are
| offered at a sacrifice, and they hold
them for the boom. Experienced breed
ers hold on to their stock. and actu-
| ally produce more in the very face Of
fodder famine. But they have Gis-
counted the future, and can pretty ac-
curately predict the future course Of
| events. .,as. s,,..i
The very best policy for a stoc.-nan
to pursue Is to hold ON as long as pos
sible, and do not make a sacrifice Of
stock In any event. There is no sense
in that, and no reason. Pull through
some way. Find some ways and
means to make both ends meet. In
order to do this 1t may be necessary
to resort TO extreme measures, but

not yet been discovered or exhausted

Prorres. in Ponl,rv Keon,n,.

Within the past ten years poultry
has made rapid strides as an industry
in this country. largely owing to the
perfection of incubation and brooders.
1t is now customary on large poultry
farms to hatch chicks in November
for the early market, the chicks being
sold when less than one pound weight
each, they being substituted for
squads. which are usually scarce in
January and February. Later in the
spring the demand is for heavier
chicks. Some poultrymen hatch chicks
for market every month in the year.
Although prices are lower in summer
the expense for food and care is less
than in winter. Choice broilers bring
high prices, but the large majority of
chicks that reach the market after
Christmas is not OF sufficient quality
to come up to the requirements OF
"choice." and the chicks do not, there
fore, bring the best prices.

Fencing and Its Cost.

has become so scarce that the Vir-
ginia rail fence or post and rail fence
is no longer made. Even where tim
Der Is abundant the Virginia fence is
far from cheap, because OF the ground

Location of the Farm House.

In many sections the farm houses
are some distance from the county

houses are close to the roads, where
dust from every passing team is car

Handling and Feeding Corn Fodder.

My corn shocks are of average size,
and when husked are tied at the top
with binder twine. When ready to
house two men pull the bottoms to-
gether with rope and tie with same
twine. The shocks are rolled on hay
frame up wide ladder which drags
behind. This fall 1 shall try the si-
lage wagon. l think two men can
lift shock upon such n wagon. These
shocks are placed in the barn with a
horse hay fork, and while still tied
they are lifted by hand with this same
fork to the cutter platform, which is
as high above the upper floor as l could
make it.
The cutter is run by a one-horse
level tread power on the ground. The
room for the fodder, and all things to
be cut, adjoins the one having the
floor and the cutter platform, and is
one story. The steel track for horse
fork runs full length Of this room and
over the cutter platform. Beneath
the blades of my cutter which has a
down stroke, is a cylinder which
grinds, chews or masticates the fod-
der after 1t is cut. My stock eat 1t
without waste. They are eating it
now, and they are by no means
starved to it. For bedding in stall,

Keeping Land Covered with Growth.

New discoveries are sometimes moth
ing but verifcation of old methods.
In some sections half century ago
it was customary to allow the land to
''rest" for year after producing two
or three crops. During the resting
year the land would become covered
with weeds or other growth, which re-
mained. thus serving as a mulch. Re
cent experiments show that when
crop of crimson clover, grass. rye or
any other growth is allowed to die
down and fall upon the land without
moving. or moved and left in place,
the shading of the soil promotes tine
formation of humus, especially in
summer, as the dampness, darkness
and protection from the direct rays
of the sun place the land in the same
condition as forest land. There is,
however, loss of years time, and
the condition of the soil affects the re-
suits. The main point is whether
such system would be economical.
