A COOP FArrENINo FEED.

At the Pennsylvania experiment station
a rather interesting test was recently con-
Quoted in regard to the value of corn sil-
age for fattening steers, says the Farmer.
Two lots OF six steers each were provided
and these were given the same grain ra-
ton which consisted of broken ear corn
and cotton seed meal. These two lots were
also fed equal quantities OF mixed hay IN
the beginning. Gradually this hay ration
for one feed a day was suppianted by corn
slower, which Is corn fodder without the
ears, In one lot and corn silage In the
other. Ii will of course be noted that
while the corn slower contained no ears
the silage was composed of stalks and
ears together. In both cases II was In
tended that the steers consume as much
slower or silage as possible. At the be-
ginning OF the test, the stoyer fed steers
averaged % pounds heavier, while at the
end the silage steers outweighed the 9TH
ers by four pounds each. 1t was found
IN ascertaining the cost of the different
rations that the silage fed steers had cost
about s1.50 per head each more than the
other lot, but this was more than over
balanced by their better condition and
finish.
While experiments on six steers as far
away AS Pennsylvania may seem TO have
but little bearing on the steer fattening
question In this territory, this article was
quoted 20 bring out II possible the value
OF silage for a fattening ration where 1t
was plentiful. On many farms In the
northwest where cattle feeding is carried
on extensively, every stalk OF corn upon
the place is cut and fed IN some manner.
When the field corn is OF a large enough
variety to mature big ears, the fodder is
SO coarse by the time II is harvested that
a large amount of II is lost in the feeding
operations. Could this same fodder have
been cut up and put into a silo at the
proper time, the gain, both in the amount
Of digestible God and nutriment, would
nave beer considerable. With these facts
in mind IL seems apparent that wherever
steer feeding is followed to any consider
able extent in the northwest the silo will
become an important factor In these oper-
ations.

YUKON GOVERNMENT
IS TEN YEARS old
Since Famous Gold Camp Was
Organized 1t Has Produced
500, 100000.

Special Seattle Correspondence: Ten
years ago on September 5, the first
territorial government of the Yukon
territory was formally installed in
office at Dawson, the capital OF
the Yukon. Governor William Ogfl-
vic, the first commissioners, with
II assistants, arrived on that day
from White Horse by the steamer
Ora and Immediately established tenn
porary headquarters in a big log cabin
building that had been erected for the
purpose.
Since thai time the famous Klondike
and adjoining creeks have produced a
total of over 500, 900, 900 In gold, all OF
which has gone into the worlds Golfers
and is being used in the conduct of the
worlds business. Ii is to properly cele-
brate this fact and bring about further
development of h gold OF
the Yukon and Alaska that the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition is being held
at Seattle next summer. Gold has done
much for the world and this is the
first time hat an exposition has been
held to give it honor.
The Yukon territory is still a great
gold producer. Within the last few
wears. while the methods of gold extrac-
ton have been undergoing a change,
the production has dropped off. but
with the installation of dredges, hv-
draulic appliances and huge water svs-
tens the gold production will receive a
big impetus that will soon put the
Yukon back in the front rank.
Governor Ogilvie is still in the Yukon
now engaged in dredging. He is one
of the enthusiastic workers for the ex-
position and will be present, as will
many others OF the first government.

GENERAL SURVEY OF
FASHIONABLE MODES
Directoire Ideas Adapted to AL
Parts of Costume This
Season.

The d%irectoire styles have now to be
reckoned with. but no woman OF prop
er taste in dress will forget that there
are many occasions when they must
either be greatly modified or forced m
TO allegiance altogether. The tight,
clinging skirts, il worn properly. 90 not
end themselves to ordinary pursuits,
nor even TO street wear. for they only

that is only possible In the house OF

by all and sundry who hug their fet-
tiers of their own making In their pima
anxiety to be in the fashion, irrespec-
tive OF suitability. The loose, long
tailed coats, which are essentially Ill
rectoire. hardly look amiss on n cos
tune, nor for n occasion.
Fancy a dull, purple suit worn with
a hat of Indian red trimmed with pur-
pie and rcses) and a blouse OF the same
red: you may imagine il rather dread
full, but as the two colors were aufnlr-
ably chosen and blended the result was
very smart, but such a color scheme
can come TO hopeless grief In incapable
hands.
Decorating the Net.

TO establishment with the narrow
soutaches and ribbon embroidery en-
HANGED with needlework in satin stitch.
To execute this work the square mesh
foundation, whether machine or hand
made, is usually stretched on an oblong
or square wire foundation, n on 1t is
invariably sewn according to design the
meandering ribbon. knotted at intervals
in the manner of n lovers Knot from
which springs u a graceful spray OF
lily of the valley, forget-me-nots, or
other florets. These decorative sprays
are embroidered with satin and stem
stitches as soon as h ribbon work is
finished. However, for this second part
of the work the piece of netting has
to be tackled on some solid foundation
OF linen cloth. or any material, which
is cut away after the padded flowers
have been well modelled with the
needle and cotton or silk, which has
evidently to be carried through both
the square meshes and the backing.
Clever fingers will find little difficulty
in utilizing these suggestions in turn
ing Il a handsome yoke or trimming

Vests and Revers.
Vests for the directoire coats are gen
orally of a different material and color
from that of the suit. A lovely comb
nation is a veGtee of lime green satin
or of a copper colored suede with a
jacket of dull green. These colors are
beautifully combined with collar and
long jabot of soft Chantilly lace. The
tight cuffs must have a ueep frill of the
same lace, almost covering the hand.
Then, too, the revers of the direc-
toire coat must be very carefully exc
cuted in regard TO the proper lines, the
size and the color which should be the
same az the vest. The least error in
correct proportion takes away from
their effectiveness and quickly carica-
lures the style.

PICKLES AND PRESERVES;
A FEW SUGGESTIONS


In winter. as each jar OF fruit is
opened for use, the jar and top should
be washed and thoroughly dried, then
the top screwed Jack on the jar and
set away for the next summer When
the time comes In hot weather to put
up fruit the jars simply ave to be
rinsed out on the outside. This W
the dreaded work Of washing jars and
tops.
Crisp Gherkins.
II you will add one ~teaspoopful OF
powdered alum TO your vinegar for
small cucumber pickles il viii keep
them green n also snappy and crisp
like fresh cucumbers.
jelly Covers.
White paper covered on one side with
white of egg wiz make a good substi-
tute for jelly glass covers TO cover jelly.
Save Fruit Juice.
When canning or splicing fruits ave
the surplus juice in alright jars and
when you make your home made mince
meat pour these juices into the mince
meat. You will IND this saves sugar
and at the same time gives the mince
meat a richie flavor.
Hint for Preserving.
Take a silver fork and prick holes
in the skin OF peaches or plums. That
will keen the skin from cracking and
coming off when canned.
Preserve Catsup Color.
AT this time Of the year. when
kitchens are permeated with the odor
OF cooking catsup, this suggestion may
be in order: Keep the skins removed
from the tomatoes, dry in the sun or
oven, then pulverize the dried skins,
and when catsup Is about ready to bot
tie add the powder. This will retain
the tomato red color, which catsup so
often loses.
Canned Grapes.
Wash n separate the skin and pulp
as usual, put the pulp through a col
ander to get the seeds out. then, in
stead OF putting the kin in whole.
put them through a food chopper.
which makes them just the right size
and does away with the large. tough
skins otherwise found in grape sauce.
This AXE the sauce extremely good
and is an excellent idea.

HOW TO INCREASE CORN YiELr

ne mIIittSOla idIIicIE Stihd
bureau gives the following pointers OF
corn raising.
The total cost of growing and har-
vesting an acre of corr Is between
$40 and $12. 1t therefore takes 36
or 40 bushels at the average price OF
80 cents to cover the cost OF produc-
ton.
The yield of corn depends. frst, upon
the fertility of the soil: second, meth
cd of tillage and cultivation; third.
character Of seed corn; fourth, weather
conditions. Three OF these conditions
farmers can control. Character OF
seed Is the most important factor OF
all.
One 10-ounce ear per hill Will give
a yield OF 20 bushels per acre: two
~10-ounce ears 56 bushels, and three
"a bushels. The average yield OF
corn In Minnesota is about 80 bushels
per acre. We are growing about one
third OF a perfect stand. The sue
cessful corn grower can control the
tan OF corn, and with a near per-
feet stand" can secure 90 to rs bushels
OF corr per acre with average methods
OF cultivation. The stand OF corn de-
Ponds upon the quality OF seed corn.
One OF the most desirable places from
which to get seed corn for any farm
is from the field of corn grown on that
farm. Select at husking time a few
or the best ears as they are found on
good stalks, and place them in a bas-
ket or sack. If II Is desired TO get a
variety to ripen earlier, go through
the field before all the corn Is ripe
and select good ears that ripened frst.
This Will probably reduce the size OF
the corn but II Will make II earlier.
AS shown by the above figures. large
ears of corn are not necessary TO get
a large yield. A good yield depends
On a good stand of stalks that VIII
bear ripe ears.
When seed corn is selected In the
fall 1t should be placed where ii Will
dry out quickly, where II cannot heat
and where IL will not freeze. The at
tic over the Kitchen is a very good
place for seed corn. Every corn grow
er should have his aim set for 100
bushels per acre. 1t can be realized
in a large part Of Minnesota
