Protect SILK Stockings.

When you want to squander your

let your toe nails grow and then
buy and wear silk stockings, Each
pair can be safely guaranteed to de-
velop nice large holes In two days
time.
But for the rest OF us who dote on
silk stockings and have only one or
two pairs to 90 through the season
with, devices such az the toe guard
and top protector are welcomed. be-
cause they will prolong the life OF our
fragile silk treasures.
The toe guard Is a mltten effect
which slips first over the toes before
you draw on the stocking and pre-.
vents the friction against the stocking,
The top protector is most practical to
prevent the hose supporter from tear.

made Of chamois skin. and Is fastened
TO the hoe Importer In the first place
and regularly laid between stocking
and supporter fixture. so that the

CARE IN SELECTING CROPS
Those That viii Mature Early Should
Be Chosen for Dry Farmlng-Tur.
key Red Wheat Leads.

The careful selection OF crops and
seed is necessary for success in dry
farming. Crops must be chosen that
will mature early. Turkey Red wheat
has averaged yield Of better than
thirty bushels to the acre for twenty
years, giving 1t easily the first place
as a dry land crop In this state. says
the Denver Field and Farm. Other
promising dry land crops are hulless
barley. the earliest spring crop to ma.
ture; macaroni wheat, a spring crop
which natures early, but for whch
the market is uncertain; some early
maturing oats, the Six Day variety
for instance. although oats are not an
especially strong dry land crop. Corn
requires constant cultivation and rela-
lively but little moisture and can take
the place OF summer following as soon
as proper varieties are developed.
White Australian is the most satisfac-
tory thus far discovered, but It lacks
in feeding quality. Alfalfa and Can.
ada field peas. which put nitrogen into
the soil for the grain crops and which
will mature good yield with little
moisture, are very valuable. Broom
corn Is coming on as something OF a
dry crop. while first rank must be
given to the non-saccharine sorghums,
such as kaffir, milo maize. durra and
rice corn.

STONE MOVED BY THE SUN

FIVE years, so 1t is said. this ball has
turned a fraction over l3 inches.
When the ball was placed In position
an unpublished spot six inches in diam
eter was purposely left in the socket
Of the pedestal whereon 1t rested. A
little later 1t was noted with astonish.
ment that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side Of the monu-
ment. This curious revolution Of the
polished ball, to lift which would re
quire a large derrick, is supposed to
be due to the suns rcuon. in the fol-
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly In the shade
does not expand to the same extent
thus causing the ball gradually tc
shift its position by turning.

PROGRESS OF DRY FARMING
Those Who Followed Scientific Meth
DDS Last Year Had Good Crops
Others Made Failures.

(By ". C. PALMER. North Dakota)
The opposition to the name DRY
Farming" is dying out In North Da.
kota. The dry weather which charac-
terized the last crop year has been
a good school master. Those who had
followed the dry farming methods had
good crops, while those who had not
often did not have crop enough to be
worth while cutting. 1t looked queer
to see field of grain on one field that
would go 80 bushels per acre and the
next one go four or five, both having
had the same rainfall. 1t Is not hard
to understand. though. The evapora-
ton from water surface Is 80 inches
In the state during the spring and
summer months. This Is more than
the rainfall for a whole year amounts
to. which In the state varies from l5
to "a inches. To have any left for the
crops 1t is plainly necessary to take
steps to save the moisture. Those who
had grown corn and potatoes. who had
disked after cutting the grain. who
had summer fallowed. who had plowed
under clover or added organic matter
to the soil-that Is. where It had been
done In accord with dry farming prin'
ciples-had from fair to very good
crops this year. It Is generally con
ceded that II there had been two
inch rainfall at the critical time, good
crops would have been assured all
over the state. BY cultivation. this
could very easily have been saved
and more, too.
At farmers institutes there Is more
call for talks on dry farming than an,
other subject The question Otter
comes in this way: What shall de
to be ready for dry year?"
While some real estate men ars
opposed to the term dry farming.
yet the putting into practice o
these principles Is what will assure
the farmer OF a crop every year. a
least az far as moisture Is concerned
1t is those who practced dry farming
methods last year that have demon
strated what the state can do In a dr.!
year. They have been the salt OF th'
earth.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Good draft horses. though high in
price, find eager buyers.
Southdowns are supposed to lead all
other breeds in quality Of mutton.
Young pigs cannot thrive in cold
sleeping quarters. or where It Is the
least bit damp.
A good feeder can make corn worth
so cents a bushel by putting It
through hog.
Sheep have good warm wool coats.
Do not be afraid to turn them out
even on cold day.
In considering cheap feeding and
feeding for the best results. the silo
must not be overlooked.
Keep sheep out while they're out
and In while they're In. Don't leave
doors open to cause draughts.
Now that breeding sheep can be
bought at a reasonable price more Of
them should be going to the farms.
Who has not seen the hogs piled
upon each other in cold weather. shiv.
ering. fighting to get into warm
place?
Rough. brutal treatment that keeps
sheep In constant fear and nervous
excitement Is not conducive to good
growth.
Do not allow too many head oi
swine to nest together. for they will
pile up cold nights, generate moisture
and take cold. .u
One Of the first needs Of the pig,
is a comfortable place In which tc
