LITTLE THINGS ABOUT THE HOUSE
BY GRACE MARIAN SNr1x Of the H c Service
Brrcau

Time was when people who could
not afford expensive jewelry and real
lace, owned no jewelry and wore their
garments untrimmed. Our ancestors,
with a foolish pride supposed to indi-
cate birth and breeding, eschewed
limitations. This was protest against
pretenss, but the medicine became
worse than the disease. Gaudy, cheap,
shoddy material is an oTense against
good taste, but inexpensive things
need not be inartistic. Because you
cannot take trip to Europe is 40
reason for refusing a days outing.
You cannot afford the original Ange-
lus, but you can have good print Of
1t, and most Of us with unframed
eyes will see quite as much in the
print as We would in the original.
There Is . difference between the
inexpensive and cheap, SO don't let US
derfdea thing simply because it didn't
cost mint Of money.
How many things are you going with
cut that you could bay for very
modest sume Suppose it is nothing
more than sharp Enifs fer pairing
vegetables and you have wasted time.
wasted vegetables, spoiled your own
tsnper, and annoyed the men folks
BY trying TO get an edge on knife
G1S was worn oSt years ago. Yetfor
ten cents-ten cents-you can buy
pairing knife that will last at least a
year.
You have spent hours beating up
eggs with . fork A Dover egg-beater
costs quarter, and a whip ten cents
You are short Of pans, Of crooks, OF
kettles, which can be purchased TO.
from ten to thirty-fve cents. You
are going without spoons enough to
set the table when there are guests,
because you can't afford to pay eight
dollars for them, but you can buy
artistic spoons Of white metal which
No one unless accustomed to seeing
them would distinguish from real
silver. Sometimes 1t is china towels
you are using worn, linty rags: you
can get al the towels you need for ten
cents apiece. Or, you are wearing All
old dress, too heavy and warm, instead
Of the cool, fresh-looking one you
could buy ready-made for from sixty
cents to one dollar.
No. am not advising cheap, shoddy
shings. Always buy the best you car
afford. If your means are limited buy
the inexpensive yet most satisfactory
articles that you can. Only don't
make the mistake Of complaining be-
cause these inexpensive things don's
last ss vel IS the mere costly ones.
s0The sr; thing you forget about an
article is hat you paid for it." So If

ROTATION OF CROPS
Reply to Michigan Correspondent

'I am growing sugar beets and my
land seems to be decreasing in produc'
tion. What rotation can I,use?"
In some localities it h&s been found
that beets do best following alfalfa
corn and small grains. A very good
rotation is as follows: First, wheat;
second year, beets: then clover for two
years, last crop being plowed under;
then potatoes, and the rotation re-
peated. II alfalfa can be grown in
your locality it is a good plan to in
clude this in the rotation.
In Montana the best rotation for
beet raising is as follows: Wheat,
clover, oats, sugar beets, barley and
peas. In Utah the following rotation
gives good satisfaction: First year,
sugar beets: second year, peas and oats
for forage; third year, sugar beets;
fourth year oats, seeded to alfalfa;
ftth year, alfalfa.

Hay at the present market prices
or even considerably lower, Is very
good money crop. Farmers are now
planning on feeding corn fodder anu
selling their hay. l believe this IS
good plan. Don's you?

FEEDING CALVES
Reply to ". T. TURNER. Chic, 0.

We have your letter of recent date IT
which you ask for some information
on feeding calves, but you do not state
how old your calves are. Young calves
should be fed on whole milk for some
time, and changes in their feed should
be made gradually. After week OF
ten days the whole milk feed may be
changed to one Of half skim and
half whole milk Decrease the whole
milk until you are feeding the cali
entirely on skim milk. 1t is well to
have a quantity Of grain convenien,
so that the calf will have an oppor.
tunity to learn to eat as early as
possible. 1t probably will not learn to
eat grain for some little time. This
may be hastened, however, by mixing
q small amount of bran with the milk
or you may add small quantity OF
low-grade flour.
Skim milk contains some more
S7sse;a1d S7SSsaa ana carbohydrate than whole
milk, so for feeding it is best to pick
q grain that will not supply large
quantities of these materials. lnsome
instances calves may do very well on
hiehly-concentrated feed. but these
feeds are usually very expensive, anG
there are other substitutes that are
lust as good. Usually no be,terresults
can be obtained from high-p-iced con-
centraJes than from feeding such grain
IS corn. katlir corn, sorghum, barley or
oats. The following mixtures have
been found to give very good salts
faction:
Whole oats and bran.
Whole oats corn, barley, and
bran.
a mixture of Is pounds Of whole
oats, 9 pounds of bran. pounds OF
corn meal, and ) pounds Of linseed
meal is also very good feed for calves.
Together with these concentrates
the young and growing calf should
have plenty of fresh water, and be
allowed to play in the sun. tshould
also haze free access to good clover or
alfalfa hay. II these are not avail
able, timothy hay and corn fodder are
perhaps the next best. II you have a
silo, small quantities Of ensilage will
keep the calf in good condition during
the winter months.
II the calf does not gain when taking
the whole milk, it should be weaned.
Try half skim and half whole milk for
awhile. sometimes the addition OF a
spoonful of lime water to each feed
will correct the difficulty.
Calves may suffer from sccurs whea
put on grass but usually there will be
very little difficulty if they are allowed
to feed but short time at first, then
gradually increasing the period each
day until they become accustomed to
the change, Sudden changes Of feed
are not good and should be avoided.

THE SELECTION OF A CREAM
SEPARATOR

By F. wn.GouGHBr Of tie nc Service
Bureau
The selection of a separator is not a
difficult matter if the farmer will
bear in mind few simple facts.
Cream and skim milk are separated
in the cream separator by the action
of centrifugal force. Centrifugal force
is a force exerted outward from the
center of the separator bowl and is
produced by revolving the bowl at a
high rate of speed. Just what the
action OF centrifugal force is can be
best explained by a simple and often
used illustration.
When a ball attached to the end Of
string is swung around in a circle.
the ball, because Of its weight, will
exert an outward pull. The force
exerted on the ball, which makes it
try to get away from the central point
around which it is whirling, is centri-
fugal force. When whole milk enters
the separator bowl it is acted upon by
centrifugal force and the heavy milk
solids are thrown to the outer wall OF
the bowl. The butter fat, which is
the lightest part Of milk, Is not 50
strongly affected, and gathers near
the center Of the bowl where it mixes
with small amount Of skim milk and
forms cream.

DISEASES Of cUcUMBERS
Reply to c. v. Fox

III have trouble with my cucumber<
dying too early. They get some kline
of yellow spots in the leaves and the
vines die before they get done bearing
have been using Bordeaux mixture
| used blue stone. Is this the same
as copper sulphateS When should
lime be added to the soil9'
The disease attacking our CORE
spondent's cucumber vines is known as
"downy mildew,"a a parasitic fungus.
Bordeaux mixture Is the best remedy
YOU can use: but this will have no
effect If the fungus has gained con-
siderable headway. Bordeaux mixture
should be made as follows:
For young plants lbs. copper sui
phate, 6lbs. lime to 50gallons Of water.
When the plants get older, use lbs.
copper sulphate. 6 lbs. lime to 50 gal
Ions of water.
Blue stone is the commercial name
for copper sulphate.
The beneficial element in lime Is
calcium, and it should be applied on
soils that are acid in nature. On sons
that are not IL this condition, lime
will be OF little or no benefit. Tbs
acidity Of the soil may be determined
By the use of litmus per, which may
be obtained at almost any drug store.
Press the moist soil around the blue
lit.mus paper for ten or fifteen minutes.
II the paper is low red or pink in color
it will indicate that your soil IS acid.
There are eight or ten different kinds
of commercial lime, but where it is
possible to obtain finely ground lime
stone, this is the most desirable form
to use. It supplies the necessary cal.
cium, and yet the action on the vege-
table matter is not as severe as it IS
with other forms Of lime.
We regret to say that the Service
Bureau does not have Farmers Bulle-
tins for general distribution, but you
will be able to obtain these by writing
