"A wild GOVT" repeated young
Mr.. Kane. "One of the snarling,
vicious brutes that infest these for

"Quick, quick!" ordered the
young. farmer. Then he grasped
her carefully. reverently, and strid-

a young maple. A rich. brassy
tinkling came from the direction
of the purling branch. nearer. near

flecked head through the bushes
and regarded them almost mildly.
But the girl shivered charmingly,
"Oo-ooh! How can you be so
dreadfully brave, Mr.. Kane? Aren't
you going to climb up?"

man. I'm going to stand right

There is a craze for all tones Of
violet from deep purpl eto palest
shades Of pink mauve and laven-
der blue.
Never before have beads been
seen in greater profusion. The
most fashionable are the small
ones Of Opaque glass, worn In one
long, single strand.
Norfolk suits are well liked now
for small boys. They are made IN
linen, duck, khaki and even cham
bray for summer wear.
The very latest fad of the society
girl is the breakfast cap, made up
in swis, sheer lawns, lace and rib
bons.
It is predicted that dull finished
fabrics are to be used for the
smartest frocks this fall.
Extremely stylish belts of black
patent leather, with genuine har-

heard someone call, "Mr. Duck, Mr..
Duck" He ierked his head up. and
there on the bank stood a chicken
Mr.. Duck didn't like chickens,
but he swan over to see what was
wanted.
"A weazel Is chasing me, and I
want to so to my home across this
river. Because I'm a chicken
can't swim; won't you please carry
me over on your back"
Now Mr.. Duck never had heard
a chicken talk before, so he was
surprised. But he was kind
hearted. too. so he said, Get on
my back and I'll carry you over"
The chicken perched on his
back. and Just as they neared the
other side OF the river the weazel
came running down the bank. He
was very angry when ne saw the
chicken across the river. He said,

In the evening coiffure the real
popularity of the bangs is seen.
Until recently bangs did not play
any part in hair dressing for even
ing affairs, but so many fashion
able women have fringed their
hair that the girl who wants to be
stylish must fringe hers.
Here are two views of the very
latest method of dressing the hair
for full dress occasions, and 1t de-
flies description. 1t is just an elab-
crate mass of waves and puffs and
curls, and the more you can pin on
the better, and the more fashion
able you are.

FEEDING sILAes.


Perhaps some Of my experience In
regard TO my silo and the use OF silage
on the farm will be OF interest to 9th.
ers, writes a Michigan farmer In Farm
ers Review. For a great many years
I have made n specially OF breeding
registered oxford down sheep. A few
years ago | was unable to obtain any
information In regard to feeding silage
to breeding ewes, and so ! concluded
TO try some ewes on silage three years
ago and since then during the winter
months, have been feeding corn
silage az least once each day to my
entire flock. | find that the ewes give
more milk when fed on corn sllage
than any other feed. aside from early
grass pasture.
II is not necessary for me 10 say
that Il is one OF the most valuable
feeds for the dairy COW or the fatten-
ing steer, for almost every farmer has
learned that corn silage is one OF the
best and cheapest feeds to be had for
all cattle A great many farmers are
so slow In seeing the advantages of a
good silo. Compare this method Of
harvesting the corn crop where all Is
saved, with the old way. where. the
loss is at least one-third Of the crop.
When you build a silo. build a good
one that is air tight. My silo Is a
Lansing" silo. i4x30 feet. and holds
100 tons About eight acres Of good
~. s.Ia n
corn too thick. Adjust this as II you
wanted a good crop OF ears and you
will not go astray. During the past
two years have planted my corn with
an ordinary 11-hoe grain drill. about
az feet apart In the rows. and seven
or seven and one-half quarts OF grain
per acre. Next use the spike tooth
harrow and harrow the corn often. be
fore II is us and until three or four
inches high. Give II a good harrow
ing to destroy all small weeds that are
coming up close to the corn.
In conclusion. a word about the oat
crop next spring. Do not neglect TO
SOW about two quarts Of iaxseed. Mix
Il In with the seed oats In the drill or
SOW II broadcast 1t will ripen at the
same time with the oats. and you will
find II a valuable grain to have mixed
with oats to feed TO horses. cattle or
sheep. II will cost nothing except the
seed. Try II. The fax straw viii not
injure the feeding OF the cat straw,
the horses and cattle viii eat II in
preference to the oat straw. IL they
can get It.

DAIRY MATTERS.

Do not compel the cows TO bunk
about the strawpile until the chilly
nights are past. Dry spots for them
to sleep on are usually very scarce
at that season Of the year.
Don't turn the cattle TO pasture too
early. A good plan TO follow is TO wait
until you conclude the grass is sum
GENTLY large TO turn them on. then
wait a week or ten days longer.
The measure OF satisfaction secured
from the dairy Is dependent upon the
profit returned TO the farmer for his
feed and labor. Front can be- realized
only through the medium OF a good
COW and intelligent feeding and care
taking.
