Farm and Stock Notes.

A good way to feed molasses to
horses is to put it on the hay. This
ration will keep them thrifty.
Alfalfa pays if you get good stand,
but remember that good stand comes
only with faithful preparation of soil
"Do you know that your hens come
over into my garden?" II thought
they were" why so?" Because
they never came back"
About the only treatment which the
sheep-killing dog deserves is bullet
where it will put him out of business
for good and all.
Give the hens good dust bath. Put
the box in a sunshiny place in the hen
house. 1t will do your heart good to
watch them wallow in it.
Leaks in the roof and cracks in the
walls of the hen house will lead you to
conclude before the winter is over that
chicken raising does not pay.
Without comfort how can you expect
that your dairy COW is going to fill the
milk pail. Shiver and shake and a
poor food ration never yet secured a
profit from a COW.
Never get the conception that it is
clever scheming that brings success.
It's hard work that brings enduring
success. The genius of hard work is
the best asset in life.
Before worrying over the fact that
your neighbor has more land than you
have. just study over the question
whether you are getting as much as is
possible out of the land you already
have
Canadian thistles can be cleaned out
of field by thorough cultivation of
the ground for few years. making
sure that none of the thistles go to
seed. Not an easy job, but it can be
done.
One farmer who has had success
raising calves takes them from the
mother after the third day and feeds
skim milk with handful of rolled oats
to 2 quart of milk The oats before
using are boiled up with little salt in
the water.
Protect the young fruit trees before
the snow comes and drives the rabbits
and mice to eat the tree bark. An
excellent way of doing this is to wrap
laths, building paper or strips of wood
veneer around the base of each tree,
reaching two or three feet up from the
ground.
Get the boy a camera and get him
interested in taking pictures of the
buildings and the stock. 1t will be one
more link to bind him to the farm and
will be step toward improvement in
the appearance Of the farm and better
farm animals. Pictures tell stories,
and where the camera is on the farm
to bring their tell-tale messages of
neglect and disorder and poor stock,
you are apt to spruce up bit and to
want stock that will look well in a
picture.
Save your coal ashes for mixing with
heavy soil in the vegetable garden.
They have almost no fertilizing value,
but help to loosen up some soils. SCOT
should always be saved when flues and
chimneys are cleaned. for it is invalu
able. especially for roses. 1t is benficial
as fertilizer and drives away insects.
For radishes. onions and cabbages it is
helpful, for it discourages the cutworms
and grubs. Wood ashes are especially
valuable as fertilizer and should
always be saved.

FARM SURVEYS.
How q stralght.Edge Board and Spirit
Level Can Be Used.

A means Of surveying for the farmer
without investment in any expensive
equipment has been offered by a cor.
respondent. This can be readily prac.
ticed by any one, and requires only a
board with straight edge and spirit
level. The way to 60 about 1t is this:
First determine the only two points.
the levels Of which you desire to de-
termine, and drive stakes in the ground.
Then take q board with an even edge
and tack 1t to tree, II one happens to
be available within the line of the two
stakes. Otherwise drive third stake
in the ground between them. Put the
board at such q height that you can
readily sight over 1t, and carefully
level this board by means Of the spirit
level. Then sight over 1t toward one
Of the stakes, having some one at that
stake who will by means of a small
piece of paper locate the point at
which your line Of vision cuts tin
other words, where a line projected
from your sighting board would strike
the stake. Make some sort of a mark
at this point, and then sight to the 9TH
er stake in the same way. and mark
the point where the line would strike
It. BY measuring distances that these
two points are above the ground you
can get the difference in levels with
reasonable accuracy, says the Journal
Of Agriculture. For instance, II your
line Of vision has cut one stake eight
feet from the ground, and the other
one five feet from the ground, then oh.
viously the difference in level Is three
feet, or, in other words, the vicinity Of
the stake on which the mark is fve
feet from the ground is three feet
higher than the other stake. and you
will have three foot fall from drain.

KANSAS CITY THEATRES
"THREE TWINS.

Joseph M. Gates Three Twins"
which will be seen at the Willis Wood
Theatre Oct. 1S, 10, 20 and 81, has
been described as the smartest OF
musical comedies. 1t is the work Of
Charles Dickson, who wrote the book,
and Carl Hoschna the music, o. A.
Hauerbach providing the lyrics.
"Three Twins" was produced last
spring In Chicago, where 1t ran for
five months. going from there to New
York, and opening at the Herald
Square Theatre, where II Is now In Its
sixth month. and one Of the strongest
attractions in the metropolis. There
are number Of songs that have be-
come immensely popular, the "Yama
Yama Man" and "Cuddle Up Little
Closer, Lovey Mine," being the prin-
cipal hits. The scenery is unusually
pretty and thee costumes are Of great
variety and most artistic color scheme.

FOR CLEAR, vELvETY SKIN.
Plenty Of Fresh Air and a Good Mas
sage Cream Are Essential.

Good teeth, sparkling eyes and beau.
tiful hair are all essential to personal
attractiveness, but probably the great.
est charm of woman Is q clear, fresh.
velvety skin. Queens have paid for
tunes to attain this one charm alone.
But cosmetics and artificial beauti.
fiers won't accomplish what aiding ma
ture will. A muddy or otherwise I'M
fortunate complexion is best overcome
by the following plan. Give up greasy
foods and heavy pastries. Take daily
exercise out Of doors, or when driving
all the lungs with good blood-purifying
air. Breathe deep. hold the breath
and then exhale .forcibly. This expels
the stagnant air in recesses Of the
lungs. 1t is this stagnant air that lit
orally poisons the system, making bad
blood which in time shows on the face.
House dust in the country Is almost
as bad for the complexion as is the
dust of a big city. Notice sunbeam
coming through the window into a
room. You will see thousands Of small
dust particles floating in the air.
These get into the pores and work
havoc unless ones eliminating system
is unusual. A cleansing or massage
cream works down into the pores and
brings out these dust particles which
soap and water cannot reach. More
over, the massaging Of the face Is In
itself beneficial, as 1t starts the red
blood coursing to the cheeks. Care
must be used to select reliable mas
sage cream. A good massage cream
plus plenty Of fresh air and proper
diet will work wonders in preserving
and identifying ones complexion
woman's dearest charm.

HINTS ON CLEANING IVORY.
Much Care Necessary to Prevent
Spelling Its Tone.

Ivory toilet articles are quite as
fashionable as silver ones now, and
the fact that they are more difficult
to clean in no way detracts from their
popularity. It is not easy to remove
stains from the mellow, creamy ma
terial without spelling its tone. Some
useful hints on cleaning ivory are
given herewith: When the stains are
very slight and do not seem to be
permanent, though they cannot be
rubbed of with dry cloth, wash the
ivory thoroughly in warm water and
soap suds and then, without drying
II on a cloth, place 1t in the bright
sunlight for a few minutes. This ex-
posture will usually remove the stains.
After they have disappeared wash the
ivory again in soap and water, rinse 1t
thoroughly and dry carefully with a
soft cloth.
Where the stains do not disappear
entirely after contact with the suns
rays the ivory should be washed again
In soap and water, then rinsed In clear
water to which a little lemon juice
has been added. Care must be taken
to have the temperature Of the water
right, as too great heat will injure the
ivory.
Very dark discolorations require the
services of an expert to remove,
though one may be fairly successful
by rubbing oxalic acid solution, not
too strong. and applying this to the
dark spots or streaks with a brush.
Afterward wash the ivory well in clear
warm water and dry with absorbent
cotton or q soft cloth and then leave
in the sunshine or In warm place to
bleach.
The acid Of lemon is not harmful
to the most delicate piece Of ivory; In
fact the juice of a lemon can be APP
piled with a mixture Of cleansing pow
der or whiting directly to the ivory
without running any risk OF spelling
its tone or texture. 1t should. how
ever, be removed quickly and the
ivory thoroughly cleansed afterward
with plenty of warm water. Cabinet
pieces that become discolored can be
cleaned in this way and will be great
" improved in color and appearance.
