Colored Slips Under Lawn Dresssa
Rickraol< Again Used.
The custom of wearing slip under
Meath thin dresses has made it possible
to wear them winter and summer
And the new spring styles show these
thin gowns over washable lawns in
white, pink, buff and blue, and they
also show them over taffeta founda-
tons.
Odd effects in lawns and muslins are
obtained by printed figures, which give
the impression of eyelet embroidery de-
signs, showing q contrasting color be-
low the openwork
1t may be that the DAYS of rickrack
are returning, for one sees dresses
trimmed with braid made into lace
with such fine design that very little
of the actual braid is recognizable.
For instance, there are braids that are
twisted and turned and made up with

IN THE sHEEPFoLD.

There is as much difference between
lamb and mutton as there ! between
a spring chicken and three year old
rooster.
There is limited period in the life
of the well fed animals for growth.
Every factor in the problem of pro-
ducing mutton points to early matur-
ity. TITS the early lamb that gets
the coin"
At eight weeks old, If in a condi-
ton and seasona BILE to meet the very
select trade, the lamb brings the high
est price ever attainable per pound.
A very narrow limit at this time and
the tide of prices fades away and 1t
will be necessary to keep him until
another time or season that calls for a
lamb three to five months old. but at a
price considerable less per pound.
The lambs marketed at four months
of age do not as a rule bring as much
per head as those sold at eight weeks
of age. The longer they are kept the
lower class of markets they satisfy
and S on until they are full grown.
Even then it takes good one to
bring as much as an excellent eight
weeks old lamb will in It's season.
With sheep as with all other things it
pays to keep up a high quality and
cater to the best customers

NOTES OF THE HOG lot.

A good many farmers leave the
small potatoes right on the ground at
digging time, where they will waste
and be lost. They would get far more
good out of them by picking them up
and boiling them for the hogs Hens
like them, too. frst-rate.
Save some Of the best shoats for
wintering.
Fix up the hog houses so that they
will be warm. Cold takes lot out OF
hogs. Feed that goes to fatten cracks
is Just about thrown away.
Straw is not wasted when used to
make beds for the hogs.
Hogs will work over the horse
manure piles and get lot of good out
of them. 1t is not bad idea to throw
some Of the straw in for them to
lie on.
One hole in the floor of hog pen
may break the leg of a hog and hog
with broken leg is spoiled hog.
Can you think Of anything that
grows into money faster than pigs7
Before you know 1t they are ready to
turn Off and they bring in good lot
Of money.

HOW TO ABUSE HORSES
Depend Upon Them Absolutely Yet
Take Poor Care of Them Too
Often.
(By William H. Underwood.)

HoRSES are the most valuable anil
mails we have on the farm.
For there is little work on the
farm IN which their assistance is not
required to perform and we cannot
execute greater feat than to give
them our very best care and atten-
ton at all times.
1t costs no more in the long run
to keep horses in healthy, thriving
condition than it does to neglect
them.
The farmer that neglects to give
his horses the care and attention they
justly deserve is very likely to be neg
lectful in other of his farm duties
During the winter, many farmers
will often permit their horses to run
down In flesh and be in bad condition
to do early spring work when this
could easily be prevented by giving
them the proper care and attention.
have known some farmers to
leave their horses in the barn for days
at time without exercise, allowing
them water not more than once a day
and feeding them at irregular inter-
vais on full feeds of grain. giving no
hay at all.
Now, while grain is the main feed
for horses. still, If they are fed ex-
clusfvely on 1t without the addition of

Double up the corn ration TO the
hogs that are pretty nearly ready to
turn off. Push them along. Get them
out of the way so that the rest may
have a better chance.
Throw cobs out Of the pen often.
Floors that have incline enough to
permit the liquid manure to run off
are best. But don't have them too
steep.
Don't dope your hogs. Keep them
healthy by giving them plenty Of good
feed. clean quarters. and the best oil
care.
Beware Of long-legged hogs They
will run more feed off than you car

Get the kind of hogs that you llka

THE MAN AND THE COW.

Improvement should be the Sc

give 1t as nearly as is possible the care
and food 1t had in its native home.
never use cross bred or native
sire.
II you select Jerseys give them ISL
land of the Jersey care. IL Holsteins
such care and feed as they receive in
their Holland home,
In selecting sire do not be gov
erned by pedigree alone. There are
thousands of pedigrees that do not
amount to the paper that they are
written on. Don't back on pedigree
but make performance the test.
Pedigree is valuable in way but 1t
must be backed up by the perform
ance of ancestry at the pail. When
you have such sire test with the
scales and Babcock each COW in the
herd. Select the best ones and be-
gin breeding for milk and butter.
Don't try to run dairy, without
special purpose cows.
Beef and butter can not be devel-
oped in the same COW. Either breed
for one or the other for there is no
half way road to success.
Wheat and middlings are as good,
II not better than any other foods.
Gluten, oil. meal and many Of the
other foods are good for milk but are
deficient In minerals that the animal
requires. We are too apt to look for
protein alone, but the cows should
have mineral matter.
There is a larger amount of mineral
matter in wheat bran than in any of
tie other feeds. But a mixture of
wheat bran and gluten half and half
with good ensilage will make very
good ration and Is more commonly
led than any of the boughten feeds
in the best dairy sections.
The best remedy for COW that has
become run down and got off her feed
is a good warm bran mash IL she can
be induced to eat it. Dont't spend a lot
OF money for these prepared stock
foods and tonics.
Some of them are good in way,
but they cost ten times as much as
they are worth. AS rule they con-
tain about 30 per cent. oil meal.
They are just about on par with
oleomargine. Don't buy them.
If cow is ailing call q good veter-
mary or else some farmer who has
had experience in doctoring sick cows,
seek his advice for as a rule he will
know what is the matter and what TO
prescribe.
Think of farmer going along year
in and year out not knowing how to
feed good COW even when he has
her.
There is no money in being the tail
end OF the end procession.
The breeders of the pure bred dairy
cattle should keep in view the real
and not the fancied wants of the prac-
tical dairymen who form the largest
portion of his customers

MAKING THE HOGS HUMP
The Most Successful Breeder III tho
Country Asks Some Poia.cd
Questions.
(By A. j. Lovejoy)

\ RE you taking proper care or tho
~ brood sows this month?
Remember that on the care
and feed brood sows receive depends
much of your success or failure in the
coming litters
DO not think that because you have
gotten the sows safely in pig that your
future crop of pigs Is assured.
Are your sows getting all the exer-
else they should have?
Do they have warm. dry sleeping
quarters?
Is the bedding damp and cold? Go
out personally and see that the bed
ding is absolutely dry. Think what a
damp cold bed means to any animal.
All bedding should be changed and
the sleeping places swept out at least
twice each week and thoroughly disin-
fected before putting in the fresh
beds Do not use oat straw, 1t is not
good for pigs: use either good rye
straw or In the absence of that use
good, dry wheat straw. 1t neither are
at hand use shredded corn fodder.
which makes an excellent bed, FREQ
from dust and easy to handle.
Are you feeding the brood sows
with view to strong, vigorous litters
or are you simply throwing them what
corn they can eat every day? If the
latter you may look for small weakly
litters without vitality enough to hunt
for their dinner with the SOW full
OF fever and cross, not giving enough
milk to raise even the few that may
survive the first few days
See that the sows during the period
Of CESSATION have we'll balanced RAJ
ton which can be made up from the
different grains and grasses OF the
farm with some of the by-products Of
the farm and mills.
The ration should contain certain
elements to grow the frame and
bone of the coming litter and at the
same time some little bulk. which can
be found during the winter when
there is no grass, in either well cured
bright clover hay or, better yet, bright
we'll cured alfalfa.
We use the latter and by running 1t
through the cutting machine and
chatting 1t, 1t can be added to the
mixed ration Of. grain and fed in the
thick slop.
A good ration for the brood SOW we
oats and shelled corn. equal parts
ground finely, and to this add an equal
amount of good wheat middlings. or
what is known as "Ship Stuff" and
to the whole add about ten per cent OF
Digester Tankage which contains 80
per cent. protein or bone and muscle
elements Mix this in thick warm
slop for the morning feed.

SKIM MILK FOR COWS.

10 the Editor: Do you think 1t
pays to raise calves on separator milk
alor !, or should they have some other
KIND OF feed? G. N. B. Harrington.
Me-
We have found 1t Impossible to
grow a good. thrifty calf on skim
milk alone and would not think Of
growing them unless we fed fed some
grain feed to replace the butter fat re-
moved to the separator to properly bal
ance the ration We like oatmeal
with the hulls sifted out, little oil
meal and some corn meal to mix with
the skim milk as soon as the calf is
put on to skim milk ration which
should not be done until two or three
weeks after 1t is born and then the
change should be gradual.

ENEMIES OF THE APPLE.

Even in spite Of the manner in
which the fruit buds are protected
by nature there Is the apple blossom
weevil. beetle quarter of an inch
long with a snout half the length of
Its tody, which goes straight to the
bud and fixing itself firmly works
away boring hole through the
scales right into the middle of the bud
where 1t places an egg.
A little footless, creamy white, mag
got soon develops In the precious APP
pie bud which becomes rusty color
and dies away.
Another bud enemy is the apple
sucker. She lays her eggs in Septem-
be- upon the fine hairs that cover the
shoots. As soon as the weather is
mild in the spring very small flat
grub comes out Of those September
laid eggs and as soon as Matched
hastens to the nearest buds and in
some way manages to slip between the
scales.
There 1t remains sucking all of the
rich juices Of the apple blossoms until
May or June when they become per-
feet an full fiedged insects, flying
away SO fat and we'll nourished that
they can live until September without
any food.
When these dangers are past and
the nice young apples are half formed
there comes along the coddling moth.
This creature gets busy enough. laying
about SO eggs-but only one on each
apple. And that is put in the one
weak spot. right at the top in the
hese IF ha aor-on nj, ,
grub tunnels down to the core where
1t feeds on the seeds until they are
entirely destroyed, then tunnels
straight outward to the skin,
Apples which have been marked in
this way are readily noticed as these
tunnels are always conspicuous, spoil
ing the looks SO that no one wishes
to eat or buy the fruit.
