FIGHTING THE FARMER FOR HIS
OWN coon

Uncle Sam" is carrying the cru
sade of better crop methods into
the places that are being devastated
by the boll-weevil and other enc
mics of agricultural prosperity, in
Guiding the dry rot of one-crop
farming says Forrest Crlssey in
Success Magazine This crusade
aims at the agricultural salvation of
half a continent and it one of the
greatest home missionary projects in
operation anywhere in the world.
More than $350,000 was spent in
this work In the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1910. To be exact. the
United States Government furnished
s207,000; the General Education
Board of New York gave S1O2,O 600
and about $4,000 came from public
spirited men and organizations in
the states where the work is being
done. Counties. cities, boards of
trade and private individuals have
come forward with contributions
sufficient to pay in part or in full
the expense of maintaining an agent
In order to get the services of one
OF these farm missionaries in their
immediate localities and to get him
without waiting.
This principle Of local supports is
encouraged not only because the de-
mands upon the farm missionary de-
partment are greater than the funds
at Its command, but also because Of
the fact that men and institutions
which put money into this enterprise
feel the solid personal interest in
the work which comes from putting
a cast investment into 1t. They get
behind it with a moral support and
stimulus which helps to keep the
wheels moving. But, no matter
where the money ZONES from, the
men employed are under direct and
exclusive control OF THE Farmers

OBJECT TO CALEB POWERS.
Kentucky Democrats Raise Row Over
Seating Notorious Republican.

Washington, April 6.-There is trou-
bic ahead in the house for Representa-
tive Caleb Powers OF Kentucky, who
came into prominence in connection
with the assassination of Governor
Goebel. Mr.. Powers is a Republican,
and the Democratic members from
Kentucky have served notice that they
will not serve On any committee of
which Mr.. Powers is a member.
Some believe that the only way to
get rid of him will be to pass a resolu-
ton of expulsion. 1t is by no means
certain, however, that either plan will
be followed. 1t all depends upon
whether the Kentucky Democrats can
get the support Of the majority Of the
house to carry their threats mo effect.

That DAY In OCTOBER

The poet Lowell has said of June,
Then. if ever. come perfect days"
True. but what of that day in October
after the first frost? 1t began in n
rosy fingered dawn dispelling night
chill and developed into the molten.
golden glow of a perfect autumn day.
The poplars. birches. naples, su-
macs and Virginia creepers added their
tribute of color to the carnival Of
beauty. The crow. the jay. the belated
nuthatch or chattering squirrel gave
the one touch of life and sound to the
pensive stiffness of the splendid woods.
Grapes in fragrant clusters and nuts
and apples dropping of their own ripe
weight were mute witnesses of the
seasons wealth and prodigality. Rod
In hand. the nearby placid pool. bear
ing a feet of fallen leaves, was sought
and the gamy bass lured to the sur
face with the tempting fy or minnow.
A swirl and the nerves were a-tingle
and the reel musical with the efforts
of the fish TO gain its freedom. 4 bit
later a swapping fire was blazing. and
a picnic lunch was spread and the
keen appe' tie of the human animal
satisfied: al sunset, still Of molten gold.
the return home through the peaceful
woods. their brilliant leaves she'd
ding that mystic afterglow and add
ing moments to the day. Perfect days
in June? Yes. and in October.

LIME WET LANDS IN FALL.

Caustic Forms Are Best and Cheapest
if Spread When Finely Powdered.
The period of late July and August
affords the best time for the drainage
Of many wet areas Of land which are
SO saturated that they are filed with
water at other seasons, says Professor
E. o. Fippin of the New York State
College Of Agriculture. Particularly is
it desirable to drain heavy clay land
at ehis season in order that the soil
which is thrown out may have an op-
portunity to thoroughly dry before be-
ing returned to its position over the
tile. This period Of slack work is also
worth considering for the drainage of
those other wet areas on the farm
which show themselves in the field by
the dwarfed crop and the distress
which it suffers during these dry pc
RODS. Those places which suffer most
from drought are often the same
areas which have had an excess of
water in the early spring.
The application Of lime ON old mead
ows and upon other land which is to
be plowed for a crop next spring
should now be considered. Caustic
forms of lime which are generally
most economical in this state are best
applied in the fall. provided they are
distributed In the finely powdered
form. Fall applications followed by
late fall or early spring blowing are
prefera BILE

TO TELL POISON IVY.

A great many attractive things have
danger for those who come in contact
with them. Among those in the nat
ural world is poison ivy. which in the
fall in most sections is one of the
most brilliantly colored vines to be
found Many boys and girls and not
q few older people do not know the
vine. and a word about it is in place.
The most important distinctive fea-
ture about it is that it has three leaves
In a cluster instead of five. as in the
case of the well known Virginia creep
er, which. though to be found in wood
lots all over the country. is frequently
used as porch climber. Another
mark Of the poison ivy is the cluster
OF numerous small whitish berries
which it bears. not at all like the pur-
pie berries of the Virginia creeper.
In spite of fits name the poison ivy
does very little climbing. vi rather
sprawls and. as a rule. is a short vine.
making comparatively slight growth
In q single season 1t cannot stand
cultivation and hence is most often
found along river courses. In pasture
lots and in fence rows and corners.

Aseins With Grace.

A great many women have a
horror of growing old. With
pitiful efforts they will try to
prolong their youth, long past
the period for its usual depart
ure. While every woman should
try to keep young as long as
possible by her manner Of dress
and actions, still, she makes her.
self look ridiculous if she tries TO
be "kiddish" when she has
reached the period that demands
dignity and poise.
To grow old gracefully, should
be the desire of every woman,
and one cannot do this if one
pays attention to mere externals,
The sweetness and richness of
matuer years come from the
heart and mind, and it is the
woman whose sympathies are
broad, whose outlook is charita-
bic and cheerful, who is going
to carry her age well. Next to.
Being a lovely young woman
there is nothing more to be deg
sired. than to be a lovable old
woman.

May Adorn Cow, but Often Lead 20
Serious Damage.
Since Pietertje Maid Ormsby made
me great record that won first place in
the thirty day division and had her
picture so widely published many let
tiers have come to me in regard to her,
says superintendent NJ FL. Gardner of
the Holstein Registry at Delavan,
Wis, in letter to the American Culti-
vator. Several breeders show curios-
fty as to her lack of horns, one or two
commenting unfavorably. AS an indi-
vidual proposition a neat pair of short,
nicely curved waIy horns on a cows
head may be something to be admired
AS a general proposition the cow of
today has no need of such weapons,
and if she has them will surely use
them on her mates In the herd and
cause more or less loss to the owner
Ages ago when the ancestors of Pie
tertje Maid OrInsby ran half wild in
the forests of Europe it was necessary
for the COW TO protect her calf from
the depredations of wolves and other
beasts of prey, and the horns which
nature had provided for that purpose
were necessity. but such conditions
no longer exist, and our breeders may
well ask themselves as to what useful
purpose can be served by horns on the
head of a COW.
Pietertje Maid Ormsby never had
any horns because their growth was
prevented. When calf Of about three
weeks old. as soon as slight swellings
showed where the horns were to be. she
was laid on her side and the hair close
~ clipped from both swellings. Then
the swellings were moistened with wa
ter and carefully rubbed with q stick
of caustic potash, and the work was
done with absolutely no pain to the
little animal.

.HANDKERCHIEFS
OF LAWN AND LACE
Designs With Hand Worked Mon
ogram Are Preferred.

Occasionally round handkerchiefs are
to be met with. but these are apt to
have the appearance of dOilies, and
the old fashioned square shape will be
found the best. The scrap of muslin
or lawn trimmed with lace or embrOid-
cry today finds place in the ward
robe of every well dressed woman. To
make q handkerchief very fine linen
may be used, and lawn and even
muslin are pressed into the service.
The size will naturally depend upon
the owners individual taste. but
square measuring from six to ten
inches across will usually be found
quite sufficient.
For a small handkerchief it will be
found best to make the hem quite mar
row, half q dozen threads drawn an
inch and q quarter from the edge.
which is then turned in and hem
stitched, being about the most suitable
The hem being thus disposed of. the
question which next arises is that OF
ornamentation.
Drawn thread work is always pretty
and appropriate and may take the form
of narrow insertion running all
round. half or a quarter of an inch
inside the hem. or. better still. a square
or more or less triangular piece OF
work in one or each corner. The
threads for this should be drawn in
squares. and there are innumerable
charming and quite simple patterns
which may be found i'm any book on
drawn thread work and which are sin
gularly adaptable to this purpose.
For those who do not care about
