Coats For All Who Travel
Automobile Goats of Linen $2.45 to $3.50,

Automobile Goats of Linen $245 to $3.50,
and between these two prices is a variety that, it
seems, must include about every style that women
could want.
1t may be surprising of what good material the $2.45
coat is made and how carefully and neatly it is
tailored. 1t is very plain and very serviceabe.
AS prices mount the novelties become more nuner-
Gus The materials turn fromthe plain natural linen
towards the rough and fecked lnens---son1e with
long shawl collars inaid with contrasting shades
others with the close buttoning collars, smoked
pearl buttons as trimmings and straps placed eff
fectively at the back waist, while others are loose
fitting. Among them all is that quiet distinction
that is never unpleasant to the woman of good
taste.
The Mohair Goats at $3.50 are calculated to
please those who prefer the darker shades of grey
navy and black. Close-ftting collars loose backs
and be assured they shed dust.
Goats for the Train $1,000 to $1o75
of light weight serge in navy and black with man
nish notched collars and long shawl collars---semi-
fitting and fitted backs, often trimmed with large
covered buttons OF pongee in natural shade
frightened now and then about the sleeves and col
lar with touches of brown grey and light blue with
braided embroidery and with black silk stitched
with rows OF yellow.
Steamer Goats at $780,
No so heavy as they look but having in their loose
folds all the warmth and comfort that chilly nights
upon deck mgh call for.
The materials are hecked and striped and mingled
Scotch .weaves, fashioned big and loose with
collars that button tight around the neck proof
against cold breezes. Much style is given to them
by the huge buttons andsraps that grace the back.

SETTING READY FOR THE SHOWS,

Not much use to send your bird to
tie poultry show unless it Is in prime
ondition. This means that not only
must the bird be we'll fed, plump and
n good health, but that its plumage,
beak. legs and feet must be up to the
mark.
The birds must first be washed.
Pour into tub water Of q tempera-
ture Of about 30 degrees and to a
depth Of or 10 inches; in another
tub the same amount Of water 10
degrees cooler, and then third still
lower in temperature by ten degrees.
IA small amount Of blueing should be
added to the water OF the last tub.
Immerse the bird In the first water,
loosening the feathers with the fingers
gently, and rub a good quality Of soap
into them. Never rub the feathers the
wrong way but always from the skin
outward. The wings should be spread
out and well washed.
After the bird has had a good wash
ing, rinse it in tho second water and
then in the third. When the feathers
have been thoroughly rinsed 60 over
the bird with a sponge, remove all
superfuous water and then dry with
a soft towel. ..
In washing the bird soft tooth

cactus. The hedge in many places is
nearly 20 feet wide and keeps grow
ing broader as time goes on. 1t was
planted many, many years ago and
bids fair to become a perennial bar
rier, for the new shoots constantly
spring up as the old stalks grow aged
and die.
AS may be readily understood, this
cactus hedge is absolutely stock
proof. Cattle, horses, sheep and hogs
stand no chance whatever Of forcing
a passage through the labyrinth of
fearful thorns without being cut to
pieces.
More than that, even the sly cow
ardly, skulking coyote wolf the cum
ming fox or the nimble, soft-footed
Jack rabbit cannot penetrate such a
formidable hedge.
So hardy is the cactus plant that 1t
flourishes best III the most waterless
regions, amidst the sand and the rocks
in the sterile desert soil. In the near
future the cactus hedge will, no
doubt. be used very extensively in all
warm climates. Mayne Baltimore.

For intensive farming the soy bean
Is the best annual legume to grow lot
forage from the southern part OF the
cotton belt to the southern part OF
the corn belt
The soy bean, whether used as, nay
grain. straw or ensilage. Is very valu-
able as feed for live stock.
Soy-bean hay is practically ident1cal
in feeding value with alfalfa and yields
from 2 to 8 tons per acre. To make
good soy-bean hay the crop must De
cut when about half the pods are full
grown or when the top leaves hrst
begin to turn yellow.
Soy-bean grain Is more valuable
than cotton-seed meal as supple
mental feed in the production of pork
mutton, wool, beef. milk and butter.
A bushel Of soy beans is at least twice
as valuable for feed as bushel OK
corn. AS the grain Is hard 1t is usually
desirable to grind 1t into meal for
feeding. This is best done by mixing
with corn before the grinding to pre-
vent cumming up the mill.
Harvesting ordinarily should be
done when the leaves first begin to
turn yellow, as the quality OF the
straw rapidly deteriorates thereafter
and tho yield Of seed will be prac-
tically as large as at any later time.
From 20 to 80 bushels of grain and
~ to z tons Of straw per acre are
not uncommon.
II soy beans are grown for the SEED
alone. and sometimes this Is pie
the harvesting can be done most easily
by waiting until all the leaves nave

soy-bean straw, If the crop Is cut
before the leaves fall Is fully as Valu-
able for feeding as timothy hay for
cattle. and is eaten by stock with much
relish. Even when the harvesting IS
delayed until all the leaves have fallen.
stock will eat the straw readily.
Mixed with corn. soy beans are ex-
cellent for ensilage. The two crops
may be grown together. but 1T Is
usually a better practice to plant IN
separate fields and mix when putting
into the silo.
1t is necessary to give the soil thor

For harvesting soy beans mower
with or without side-delivery at

self-binde- can be used. A binder
can be used only with the tall varieties.
The threshing can be done with
grain separator by using blank con-
caves and running the cylinder much
slower than for small grains. or by
the use of mac hines specially designed
for handling soy beans and COW peas.
Soy beans and COW peas can be
