With an insistence that is surpris-
ing and an effect that is undoubtedly
becoming, tunics are still shown on
all types of gowns. Your husband, poor
dear, probably wonders at the same
line that is suggested on new gowns.
He remembers, vaguely, that he has
seen that same double or triple effect
before and, if he be fearless, will sug-
gest that there seems to be a needless
repetition. But that only proves that
he knows little of the vagaries Of
Nine. La Mode
TUNES that vary from ripples of hip
length to long skirts that drop to
within few inches of the ground are
still in great favor. They can be OF
any material that you choose, and
can be weighted down with beads,
fringe or braid They can be straight
or with modified lower lines, but they
are the accepted lines for skirt trim
ming, and that is the main thing.
And why not? Do they not solve the
question of yelling one material with
another, and solve it successfully? Is
there not a wonderful field opened up
when colr is considered? And last OF
all, 10 they not afford excellent oppoE-
tunity for combining two remnants?
Oh joy to the unlimited purse!
So much for the figure can be done
by tunic that one does not wonder at
the continuation of favor of this style.
A short figure can have several inches
added in appearance by cleyerly ar
ranged tunic down along the skirt. A
tall, thin figure can be rounded and
shortened by double or triple tunics,
to break an abnormally long line.
SO gather your tunics around yoE,
madam, and enlighten an erring hus-
band anent the factor Of lress that
will be carried over into new season.

MAINE TO VOTE on PROHIBITION.

It is accepted as a fact by those on
the ground that nothing contributed
more TO the sweeping Democratic VIC
tory in Maine last fall than the Demo-
cratic promises to resubmit to popular
vote the question of constitutional
prohibition, and the census of opinion
is that the Democrats could not have
won on any other issue. Now the
Democratic Legislature has kept faith
by passing an act to give the people an
opportunity to amend the constitution
al provision at a special election to Je
he'd next September, when the ques-
ton whether Statewide prohibition
shall continue OF be abandoned will be
settled at the polls.
The almost unbroken continuance
Of prohibition in Maine" says the
Boston Transcript, for a period Of
more than sixty years has not been en-
tirely due TO mistaken faith in It's
moral efficacy, because those who
have been in constant contemplation
of its operation could not help but
know that it was honored in the breach
as often as in the observance. But
there has been a certain feeling of
popular pride in the fact that the
Dirigo' state was the pioneer in this
class of legislation. 1t has given it
prominence, not always enyiable, yet
still distinct The Maine law has
been the foundation upon which other
states have built with variations, and
there are thousands of the citizens,
long convinced that the policy has
failed in its purpose who are too hyp-
ocritical to confess it.
In this connection it is we'll to re-
mark that a majority of the older
states that followed Maine into the
prohibition column have returned 20
local option, and among these are
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Vermont But up to the present time
Maine has refused to give up prohibit
tion and in recent years has been rath-
[ er conspicuous because of its futile at
tempt to enforce the law. For instance,
/ the Legislature passed what is called
/ the Sturgis act, which created a COM
mission with powers, as one politician
expressed it, TO go over the state look
ing for trouble
This law was so obnoxious that
popular detestation of it caused its
repeal, and then another bill was in
troduced in the Legislature providing
( for six months Imprisonment without
alternative OF fine for any one that
manufactures, keeps or sells intoxicat-
ing liquors, except for medicinal or
mechanical purposes. This measure
was so drastic that it added materially
to the weight of sentiment in favor OF
cutting out prohibition and returning
to local option as a more effective way
of regulating the liquor traffic.
Whatever may be the decision of the
Maine voters on the question Of pro
hfbition next September, it is crafty
ing to note that a Democratic victory
in that state has been followed by
redemption of the campaign pledges
which the party made

, Some good people manage to be
lappy even if they are lonely.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-03-15

Permanent and successful agricul-
ture cannot be maintained without live
stock. Agriculture based upon the eX-
elusive grain farming must be of
necessity short lived. 1t leads to a
system of soil robbing when all crops
are sold through the elevator and
nothing returned, and results in an
impoverished soil and consequent
low Yields. 1t has been the history
of all countries that the number Of
live stock and the value OF farm lands
bear close relation. Decrease the
number of farm animals and the price
of real estate and farm lands go down.
Increase the number of farm animals
and the value of farm lands go up.
This being the case, there ought to
be, and we think there is, very de-
cided reason for it.
Keeping live stock helps to maintain
the fertility of the soil. Different
crops take certain chemical elements
from the soil, and unless this be re-
turned in the way of barnyard manure
or the droppings of animals while
grazing in the pasture, it will lead to
reduced yields, often below the actual
cost of production. Commercial
fertilizers would in a way prevent
this, but they are both expensive and
unsatisfactory as means of conserv-
ing the soils fertility.
The keeping of live stock necessi
tates large acreage of pasture lands.
The average farmer does not nor will
not, manufacture enough barnyard
manure to keep his soil rich, yet, in
the growing pasture, plants fill the
surface soil with millions of roots,
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-03-15

it is at it's very best-that is, just as
soon as made.
Experiments time and again have
demonstrated that yields have been
almost doubled the first year, and
that the beneficial influences of one
application have produced favorable
effect for period of 10 or 15 years.
Farmers have often realized S25 to $50
by one days work with man and team.
1t requires no longer to cultivate a
field of corn that will produce 60
bushels of grain than one that will
return only 30 bushels. The CO. bushel
crop will be enough better in quality
and stronger in feeding value to
liberally compensate for the extra
time consumed III harvesting. Every
farmer should be on the lookout for
the weak spots in his fields, and then
during the winter make it a point to
apply sufficient manure to make these
parts just as productive as the rest of
the field Therefore, wherever pos
sible, live stock should be made a
leading part of the farmers operation,
that he may at least expense keep up
his soil.
THE BY-PRODUCTS COUNT.
By keeping live stock the farmer
provides home market. Tons Of
rough, bulky forage crops that are not
marketable can be fed to live stock
and converted into finished product
of the farm. Cornstalks, straw, beet
tops and small potatoes can be fed to
cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and poultry
that would otherwise be wasted. If

ment for thrifty and vigorous growth
of plants.
DOUBLING THE CROP YIELD.
The average farmer does not begin to
live up to his opportunity when it
comes to utilizing the barnyard
manure. One should never get too

busy with other work, or under esti-

farm. Not one pound that accumu-
Iates about the barnyards and sheds
should be allowed to go to waste.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-03-15

Every scintilla of old straw, hay and
cornstalks should be converted into
manure. Uneaten portions should be
used for bedding; let the animal Ire
upon it, tramp it, and mingle their
discharges with it, and then see that
it is hauled out upon the field when

That helps to hold the moisture,
aeration of the soil, and gives to it
that physical tilth that admits the
heat and provides a congenial environ
