For openwork MedaIIjons.

A band of some eight or ten inches
or linen is a foundation upon which
the loveliest of openwork meda1lfons
are woven, and this may be inserted
as 1t is, or it can be cut into sections
TO MT the place for which it is in
tended. The linen frock carrying
such trimming is a work OF art suited
to the most elaborate functions. And
again there are very pretty frocks of
linen modestly trimmed in lace and
embroidered that make a charming
afternoon dress for almost any occa-
sion. The linen blouse which slips
over the head similar to the ones
worn by little boys and girls is quite
an addition to the wardrobe of the
larger miss; in fact, many well gown
women have taken to wearing this
simple form of dress for many out
door sports-golf, tennis and the
yacht, which call for such apparel.

The Potato Run.

One Of the great obstacles to the
raising of potatoes has been the po-
tato bug; yet this insect is easily con-
trol1ed, if the farmer will resort to
the use of the arsenical poisons. A
good many farmers, however, are
afraid to have poison around, knowing
that now and then very serious acci-
dents happen as a result of its pres
ence. Such farmers are forced to re-
sort to the old methods of hand-pick-
ing. Indeed, such potato grower as
l. B. Terry hand-picks his potato
bugs. The most popular course, how
ever, is to use paris green either as
dust or as part of a liquid solution.
Ii the bugs are taken as soon as
they appear, it will seldom be neces-
sary to treat the entire field. The
bugs being killed on the part of the
Held where they appear, will have no
opportunity to extend their 1abors to
other parts There are many combf-
nations used, but one pound of pure
paris green to $50 gallons of water
is enough When dust is used one
pound of the paris green may be
mixed with so pounds of air slaked
lime and the resulting powder ap-
piled by being sifted over the plants
with some kind of box in which are
small holes. A good sized pepper
box is found serviceab1e. In such a
case it is better to apply the dust
while the dew is on the vines.

Whitewash for Trees.

In the New England states white
wash is frequently applied to fruit
trees, especially apple trees, and
seems TO have the effect of keeping
OFF fungus and insect pests. The
whitewash as used there is generally
made by simply slaklng the lime with
cold water But it would be better
to slake the lime with hot water. 1t
may be made to stick better by adding
some skinned milk. Some even heat
some glue and when it has become a,
thin liquid dilute it with hot water
and add it to the wash. This sti1l
further helps the sticking quality.

whether these bulls are to come from
England or the United States. the
American stockman is interested. In
either case it raises the price of Amer:
lean bulls, by drawing on the Ameri-
can supply or diverting the export
able English supply from the United
States to Argentina. Just now the
argentine stockmen are making ex-
Iraordlnary efforts to improve the
quality of their cattle, as is evidenced
oy the high prices they are paying
for good bulls. Frank w. Bicknell. a
special agent of the Department of
Agriculture of the United States. saws
that the demand for Shorthorn bui1s
is increasing at great rate. There
is better demand for young buI1s of

ranchman is endeavoring to raise ND
the standard of his herd. The aim is
10 produce steers for export of such
nne finish that they will be able to
compete successfully with the cattle
being shipped from the United States.
Th1s demand for bulls has been stim-
uIated by the planting of alfalfa on
the great stock farms, for this has
enormously increased the animal-car-
rying power of the ranches In some
cases three times as many animals
can be kept as when the ranges were
left to the native grasses The Eng
l1sh quarantine against Argentine cat
lie has rather helped than hindered
the business, as it has determined the
Argentine farmers to send out chilled
meat, which costs only one-fourth as
much to transport as did the live
cattle, and sells for as much in the
Engnsh market Last November the
highest price ever paid for a bull in
Argentina was paid for an imported
Shorthorn. the price being $7.26O. At
the same time two other bulls were
sold. one for $3,96O and the other for
$3.0SO- 1t is evident that our stock
breeders have strong competitors to

Plug for Pneumatic Tires.

A recent invention, which has at
least the merit of novelty, is that of
metal plug for repairing pneumatic
tires. The device consists of two cir
cular brass disks, through the center
OF which passes threaded brass rod.
One of the disks is introduced
through the hole in the tire, after
which the top disk is screwed down
tightly against it and the brass rod
cut OFF flush with the tire. The re-
suit is said to be a perfectly tight
repair which is both more durable
and more effective than the present

Spraying a Preventive, Not a Cure.

Spraying Preventive, Not a Cure.
The man that believes in spraying
should spray whether there seems the
least call for it or not. Spraying does
not make up for losses already sus-
tained from the attacks of fungi or
insects. 1t will not cause new leaves
to grow where the old ones have
been eaten off, and it will not cause
the fruit to improve after it has been
shrunken by reason of being deprived
of food that the leaves failed to elab-
crate, they having been destroyed by
either insects or fungi. Some of our
most enterprising horticulturists have
accomplished wonders by simply
spraying, on the principle that they
would thus insure themselves against
the presence of their enemies in the
fruit orchard. Their trees have re-
sponded remarkably-so well indeed
that they have been led to believe that
previously their trees were. assailed
far more seriously by insects and fun
gous pests than had been supposed
There is no other way to spray sue
cessfully. The man that does not
spray till the leaves of his trees are
eaten up by insects, or till they have
turned brown from the attacks of
fungi, will pronounce spraying to be
a failure.

Poor Feeding and Fat Percentage.

Poor Feeding and Fat Percentage.
The question of feeding fat into milk
has been long and heatedly debated.
The experiment stations generally
have demonstrated, by a multitude of
tests, that cows capacity to produce
butter-fat cannot be increased beyond
the normal of that animal. On the
other hand a few isolated cases of
carefully tested cows have seemed to
show that it was possible to feed but
ter-fat into milk. The problem has
been recently attacked from ohother
side, and the experiment tried of re-
ducing the fat content of the milk by
poor feeding. This has been accom-
plished both at home and abroad.
Cows were fed on insufficient rations
for period of two weeks or more. In
that time the average tat content of
all the cows dropped from per cent
to 1926 per cent of butter fat. This
will explain some of the cases where
it was claimed that the feeding of
richer ration increased the amount of
butter fat. Cows that were too poorly
fed ha6 been used and naturally tend
ed to come back to the normal of
their capacity. The practical ques-
ton, however, is not, if poorly fed
cows can be made to give normal milk
by normal feeding, but if COWS that
are being fed normally and are giving
normal milk already can be forced to
give abnormally rich milk by feeding
richer food than usual. We believe
that it is well demonstrated that this
cannot be done.

Good Breeding Stock.

Very few men can make money out
OF hogs If they have poor breeding
stock. 1t may be that here and there
a man can raise scrubs and make
money out of them, but it has to be
under conditions where the feed costs
practically nothing. That is not the
circumstances under which most OF
our readers are raising swine. With
them the competition with other
breeders is strong, and feed has to be
purchased often at a very high price.
This high-priced feed must be put into
an animal that can make the most
possible out of it in short time, and
this is the reason why good breeding
stock only is safe for the farmer on
high-priced land. Then the farmer
must have good breeding swine be-
cause he wants animals that will give
him numerous progeny. 1t is safe to
buy sows from men that make busi-
ness of breeding and who consequent
ly feed their animals in a way to give
them both strong bone and muscle.
Such animals have vitality and tend
to produce a large number OF pigs
rather than the small litters that
some are in the habit of bringing
forth every year. 1t is no easy mat
ter to secure the kind of stock a man
needs. A good many herds will need
to be looked over before the purchas-
es are made. The good animals will
cost considerably more than the poor
ones, but. for the foundation of herd,
the expensive ones are likely to prove
the cheapest in the long run.

DESERT LAND ENTRIES
WILL BE CANCELLED,

Thousands of settlers on desert land
in North park will be compelled soon
TO cancel their entries, as it has been
discovered by Special Land Agent J.
f. Jenal, who has returned to Denver
from an extended investigation of that
region, that almost the whole of North
park is undertake with a blanket for
NATION of valuable marketable coal,
and is, therefore, coal land and is
open to entry as such, says the Denver
Pest. The settlers on desert land have
been notified of this discovery and
summoned to appear before the land
office here, where their entries will be
Cancelled.
By this discovery many jewellers in
North park will be made homeless.
Most of the desert land entries were
made in good faith by people ignorant
of the rich coal deposits underlying
their lands, inc the cancellation will
fall the hardest on these. The atten-
ton of the land office officials was di-
rected to that region by the large num-
Der of applications for desert land
made there. The recent applications
were made by persons who knew of
the coal deposits and hoped to profit
thereby. An investigation followed,
and it may result indirectly in the
opening up of the largest coal beds in
the state.
