there 1t may be taken out with a
"spud," which is simply two-inch
chisel with handle, by means of
which the farmer can cut out rapidly
many of these weeds, but where it is
scattered over the field the only way
is to put it through course of rota-
ton.
This is one of the worst weeds, and
is very prevalent in Europe, some of
the eastern states, southern Illinois,
and similar ATTITUDES. In buying seed
examine it with microscope. If you
do not have one, buy one or send a
sample of your seed to your expert
ment station for examination. The
seed is about the same size as a clover
and can only be distinguished from it
by the fact that it is concave on one
side instead of round. Don't SOW
clover containing this seed under any
circumstances.

TaiIor.Made Accessories.

Much of the smart effect of any
tailor-made suit depends upon its ac-
cessories. Needless to say, anything
savoring of the directoire should not be
accompanied by linen collar and a
stiff little tie. These belong to what
is known as the English type of street
suit, meaning the severely tailored
box or semi-fitting coat and gore1 or
plated skirt, minus trimming. With
the French model there should be 2

dition of the wrist ruffies, which
should be of finest hand-weave or

CARE OF SEPARATOR CREAM.
It Should Be Cooled as Fast as II
Comes from the Machine.

The ideal way of cooling separator
cream is to have it run from the cream
spout of the separator directly over a
water cooler. This should reduce the
temperature to as near so degrees
Fahrenheit as possible. The cream
must then be kept at a temperature
below SO degrees Fahrenheit by set
ting the clean cans in cold water. 1t
should be gathered for delivery to the
factory as often as every other day in
the hot summer weather. When a
cream cooler is not used the cream
cans should not be over six inches in
diameter and by setting these cans in
cold water the temperature should be
reduced to so degrees Fahrenheit or
below. This must be done at once and
in order to hasten the cooling, the
cream should be frequently stirred.
A tin disc to which is attached
-trong wire handle two feet long
makes an efficient agitator for this
purpose.-E. H. Harrington, at In
stitute.

ORIGIN OF AMERICAN sILo.
First Built Were of the "Pit" Method
of Construction.

The silo is by no means an ancient
institution in the United States. The
first known American silo for the
storage of fodder was built in 1875 by
DR.. Manly Miles, who was led to make
the experiment through French re-
ports. The result was most satisfac-
tory. The practice grew rather slowly,
however, and seven years after DR..
Miles first experiment the department
of agriculture published a report CIV
ing the experience of 81 farmers and
stockmen with silos in different parts
of the country.
While this early SLIDING was in gen.
eral success, important changes have
been made in methods. 1t was at first
considered necessary to place heavy
weights on the sliced material in or
der to press it down and exclude the
air, but it was later found that it kept
as well without pressure. 1t was also
supposed that the silo should be filled
with great rapidity. Now slow filling
holds the preference.
The first silos were "pit" silos and
these are now sometimes built, but
aside from their cheapness they have
no advantage of consequence over
those built above ground, while seri-
Gus objection to them lies in the diff
Guilty of feeding from them.
Some of the early silos were mas
sive structures of stone, but wood was
soon largely substituted as being
cheaper and less conductive of heat
and cold. Now, however, many silos
are being constructed of hollow con.
crete blocks.

NEW TOUCHES FOR GIRDLEs.
Small Details That Will Be Found to
Prove Charming Additions.

Nearly every modiste has ideas of
her own with reference to .girdles and
belts, which she develops as occasion
offers, and while there is no very great
latitude possible with the ordinary
frock, still many small details may be
used that give original touches to
the costume and prove charming ad-
ditions.
For example, one clever foreign
modiste takes two or three rings COW
cred with heavy silk, buttonholed
around the edges, and through these
the ribbons or folds Of the material
are drawn in various combinations.
Another girdle of ribbon by the
same modiste has for lowered mus
lin or silk frocks a cluster of blossoms
matching some of those in the dress
drawn loosely through knot in the
girdle. In this case the knot should
be at the center front or to one side
Of it.
A young girl, for whom this dress
maker made an organdie lawn party
frock in white with blackberry BIOS
SONS and leaves in lavender and pink,
had a cluster of white berry blossoms
and cluster of unripe berries pulled
through the white silk sash drawn
high at the left side, and her large
white leghorn hat was trimmed with
trails of berry vines showing the
white flowers and also now and then
unripe green berries and an occa.
sional purple one.

For the Drinkers.

Did you know that there is cor
rect and incorrect way to hold the
saucer in which your teacup rests?
The correctness consists in whether or
not it is held gracefully. Watch the
women at an afternoon tea and you
will see that not all, indeed few, ham
die the cup and saucer in the most en-
gaging way. Here is the secret: In
stead of holding the saucer with the
four fingers placed beneath it and the
thumb above the rim-as nearly every
woman does-form half circle with
the thumb and first finger, clasping
the saucer in it, and giving slight
support with the third and fourth fin

puzzled Over Radiun.

Radium is still puzzling the French
scientists. The latest conundrum is:
where does it come FROM" One
scientist says that radium comes to us
from the sun in some form of solar
emanation. He does not believe il to
be something inherent in certain earth
born substances, such as the pitch
blend. from which it was first extract
ed. He thinks that it comes to earth
continually in infnitesimal quantities
with every ray of light, so to speak,
that reaches US from the solar orb.
This accounts, he says, in a measure
for the traces of radium being con-
tinually discovered in all sorts Of
things. gaseous and mineral alike.

MOTHER AND CHILD
Both Fully Nourshed on Grape-Nuts.

The value of this famous food 10
shown in many ways, in addition to
what might be expected from its chem
zeal analysis.
Grape-Nuts food is made of whole
wheat and barley, is thoroughly baked
for many hours and contains all the
wholesome ingredients in these ce-
reals.
It contains also the phosphate OF
potash grown in the grains, which Ma
ture uses to build up brain and nerve
cells.
Young children require proportion
ately more of this element because the
brain and nervous system of the child
grows so rapidly.
A Va. mother found the value of
Grape Nuts in not only building up her
own strength but in nourishing her
baby at the same time. She writes:
"After my baby came did not re-
cover health and strength, and the
doctor said / could not nurse the baby
as l did not have nourishment for her,
besides 1 was too weak.
"He said 1 might try a change of
diet and see what that would do, and
recommended Grape-Nuts food. /
bought a pkg. and used it regularly.
A marked change came over both
baby and /.
"My baby is now four months old,
is in fine condition, I am nursing her
and doing all my work and never felS
better in my life" There's Reason"
