A BOY WHO MAKES GOOD WAGES.
$2.5S a Day for His Work With a
Team Last Year-Expects to Do
Better This Year.

Messrs Editors: have been read
ing your paper for almost two years.
l never miss a copy, and think 1t a
good paper. Could not do without
it for l know it has been a great
help to me.
like farming better than any
other way of making living. Am
living on just small farm; have
only 80 acres of land; about Is in
very good cultivation. Never did
work or want to work SO very much
until began to read The Progressive
Farmer and Gazette.
In 1908 with just one horse,
worked only sc days on the farm,
and averaged $1.75 per day, while
in 1909, with two mules and some
better tools worked 100 days, maxi
ing $2.58 per day, and in 1910 II
expect to do some better still.
Cotton and corn are the crops for
1910, and this fall 1 mean to SOW
crimson clover on some few acres, |
which will be well drained. The
land is loose, loamy, hickory-ridge |
land, of warm nature, all level. What |
could grow on this land for best
profits? The land has no clay foun-
dalton. 0
II would like to grow stock, and
mean to as soon as I quit crawling
and go to walking
Just about how two old gentlemen
scolded me when l told them how I
was going to harrow my cotton: |
They began to laugh and say: "You |
will scratch UP all of your cotton.
It won't do, for tried it once with
the front tooth in and ruined my
stand of cotton, and you know going
crossways is worse. and don't you do
it, for it will not do"
Well, l never said anything, for
my field was one mile away. So.
after \ had gone over about three
acres one OF them walked over to
see about what was going on

seed. He began to look at the
work and was compelled to say, sit
was all right" He tried some Of his
and spoke for the harrow just as soon
as I was through with 1t.
II have narrowed cotton four times
and had half dozen stands left, so

Editorial Answer: Feeds do not
have such fixed or definite value as
to enable any one to state positively
their respective values in a ration.
If feeding stuff contained just one
of the nutrients required, then a
value could be given with a little
more assurance. but as nearly all
feeds contain all the nutrients and
not only vary as to their proportions
but also in their digestibility, palat-
ability, etc.. it is simply impossible
to do as our correspondent asks.
In general terms and subject to
many exceptions and qualifications,
we may state that 100 pounds of
cottonseed meal is worth It's pounds
of corn and that 100 pounds Of
shorts or wheat middlings is worth
about 10 pounds of corn. There is
comparatively little difference in the
feeding value of shorts and bran,
but owing to it's coarser and lighter
| nature possibly the bran is superior
for the feeding of dairy cows, espe-
cially when mixed with finer and
| heavier substances like cottonseed
meal. These values might be en-
tirely changed in certain combina-
lions, according as feed rich or poor
in protein was needed to balance the
ration.
(2) There is no such distinction in
feeds as those that will go mostly to
milf and others that go Ito but
ter" The percentage of butter fat is
only slightly, If at all, Influenced by
the character of the feed. The quail
ity of giving rich or poor milk is an
individual and breed characteristic Of
the cow. BY giving more feed, or
certain feeds. the quantity of milk
may be Influenced and therefore the
total quantity of butter fat; but the
percentage of butter fat or the quail
ity OF the milk is not materially
changed, except that usually the
larger the flow of milk in any indi-
vidual cow the lower the percentage
of butter fat.
| CD We can not give the value of
any feeding stuff without the analy-
sis. Feeding stuffs, like we presume
saccharine" is. must bear a tag

analysis and palatability of this feed.

LINEN BELTS AND HANDBAGS.

Some ultra women this year have had
handbags and parasols, as well as
leather-finished belts, made Of the same
linen as their costumes. Belts, how
ever. are often the sole point Of color
which Is introduced upon the one-tone
tailored gown. and all sorts of old
favorites are coming back into favor
again, including linked metal and fine
leather, beaded and fancy elastic arti-
cles, says Harper's Bazaar.
With linen tailored dresses. as with
the soft, long, one-piece forms, mar
row silk underskirt is worn. generally
of the same color as the gown. This
skirt is made with a messaline top
and ruffle. possibly, though not neces-
sarily, of shot taffeta. Batiste or lawn
skirts are made up with the same pro-
portions and general shape. the idea
being to have the garment as thin as
possible and without a bit of superfiu-
Gus fulness around the hips.

A Stout Little Girl.

you help me in some way? My hair
is very thick and very wavy l wash

SO. TROUBLED.

II / were you. Lots of girls are stout
at your age, and then, when they are
almost grown up. they become quite
slender. Avoid rich. greasy foods. and
do not eat many sweets. Drink plenty
of buttermilk, and in the autumn-or
now, If you can find one-join a gym
nasium and follow the directors advice
as to exercise.
Wash your hair once week with
liquid green soap and hot water. Dry
in the open air Every night. If your
head perspires too much, rub in a good
hair powder, which may be procured
at the toilet counter of any big store.
Then brush until every bit of the pow
der has been removed. This will leave
the hair quite dry. Rubbing the scalp
with alcohol will also check perspira-
ton, but it has q tendency to dry the
natural oil out of the hair.

coLoRs TO AVOID.

The question OF color implies a
knowledge of the compliments of the
different hues. 1t Is this fact that
makes aSshade becoming to a woman,
and when once the effect is recognized
there will be fewer mistakes and great
er beauty for fair and dark women.
A little study of the result of certain
shade will bring to light the fact that
a shadow of different hue is cast
over the features.
Green gives a red appearance to the
skin; therefore, women who possess
ruddy complications should avoid 1t. A
delicate green, on the other hand, Is
favorable to pale blond compilations,
because 1t imparts rosiness to such
complexions-red, its complementary
color, being reflected upon green.
Violet is an unfavorable color for al
most every kind of complexion, be-
cause. rejecting yellow. it increases
that tint when 1t is present In the skin
or hair; 1t gives to an olive complex
ion jaundiced look.
Blue, again, is unsuitable to bru-
nettes, because Ii adds to the darkness
of the complexion.
Yellow, orange and red suit dark
people, because, contrasting with the
dark skin and hair, they not only
show to greater advantage themselves
but enrich the hue Of the black
