Providence does not approve of eve
min dinners. The Anglo-Saxons. before
the Norman invasion. were the most
prodigious eaters OF their day, aud the
immense beakers of wine and quantities
of solid meat they consumed made them
stout of body and short of breath and
unable to resist the Normans at Hast
ings. William the Conqueror supped at
. and turned in at .. and In the morn
ing was ready for raids and conquests.
lt was the same with the Greeks as
long as they adhered to suppers of herbs
and fruit and bread they did we'll. but
when suppers gave way to dinners and
things came to such g pass that a guest
on his way to a nocturnal
feast turned back unless he heard a
roaring in the chimney of his hosts
kitchen and saw thick clouds of smoke
ascending from its top, then did Greece
begin to lose its prestige. National in-
digestion brought on by late dinners
predisposed them to defeat by Alexan-
der.
The English Georges were worst OF all,
for their dinners We're always followed
by three or four glasses of brandy and
water for a nightmare, or was 1t a night
cap, and they reeled to bed full of old
English roast beef and fiery spirits.
Pictures of these First Gentlemen of
Europe as they were styled, will show
the most unwholesome-looking animals
In the Dominion. Victoria put her firm
foot down against such doings, and
thereby saved the English nation from
degeneracy.
Americans sometimes eat late timers
despite the foul fend apoplexy and the
imp dyspepsia. and sooner or later get
more than n negative rebuke from ma
ture, and though grace may be said
over inordinate feasts, Heavens benson
is withheld from people who gorge
themselves with inordinate meals.
The refined %epicure win take the last
meal OF the day from 6 to S, with a
game supper or an oyster supper now and
then, and he will tell you that to live
well Is one thing and to live fast an
other. Temperance and regularity In
diet are essential portions Of the esthet-
les of epicureanism.
We are told that In Venice originated
the custom of giving favors to guests.
Henry the Third attended a sugar van
quet in the Doge's palace where plates,
cups and ever napkins were formed
from sugar. and three hundred spun
sugar efigies were given to the Indies.
This dinner of state lasted three hours,
and King Henry brought with him his
own bother. who presided over the
wines.

alone is an important one. The simple

conceal the seams. The skirt is in three
pieces, but beth it and the blouse are
oddly shaped and overlapped to give a
distinctive touch. Linen Is one of the
best possible materials for such a dress.
but it can nevertheless be made from
many others. 1t Is equally appropriate
for pique and other cottons adapted 70

and 1t suits pongee perfectly well. Shan

and shantung would he both handsome
and durable made in this way. The new
suiting known as ratine, and which is
really fine Turkish toweling, is very
pretty In linen or cotton, and the nat

fashionable. II would make a most ef-

Young Man Attracts Her
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS Doous
An attractive young. man has been com
ing into the office where l work to see
my employers on business quite frequently
for over a year. We have never been In
Produced, but sometimes ! have to wait
on him. / can see hat he would like to
be friends, but l pretend not to notice
when we pass on the street. Would 1t be
wrong to. speak? l.. J. j,
In ordinary circumstances the mere fact
that you had met the young man in bust
ness transactions would hardly justify the
exchange of social civilities outside the
Office. II the attraction is mutual. as you
believe II would be a comparatively easy
matter for him to procure an introduction
and thus obviate any possibility of gossip
by ~busybodies who are only too ready to
seie upon any breach of the convention
alities to make life miserable for a young
woman.

H~esitates to Make Apology

Dea MISS doom.
I have had a quarrel with a young man
and we parted In anger. He said a Ger
tain thing was right and I took the
other view Since then / have found ]
was wrong. Do you think 1t would be
proper to tell the u man? He has
not been neal since the trouble, and i
hate to take the first steps. U. A. b.
Ordinarily l should say that the initia-
tive should be taken by the young man.
inasmuch as most disagreements are
over matters thai in themselves do not
count for much. IL you feel, however,
that you we're In the wrong, you might
write a note, acknowledging your error.
It would then be the young mans place
to take steps to restore the old friendly
footing.

BARLEY AS A FEED.
q. z. Morton, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort CoIllns.)

q. e. Morton, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort coilins.)
The specialized crop districts of
Colorado which have been growing
sugar beets, potatoes and cantaloupes,
have found their annual returns grad.
ually decreasing, and many farmers
have swung back to the old grain and
alfalfa rotation If with this is com
bined the feeding Of live stock, tho
fertility of the land may be kept up
and even increased But II the grain
and alfalfa rotation means growing
wheat to sell and wheat straw to burn,
fertility will rapidly decrease.
The growing of barley for stock
feeding purposes offers a method of
cropping that can be used to advan-
tage. The only difficulty is that many
farmers are growing it to sell rather
than to feed. Barley In the Fort Col
Inns district is this year selling at the
same notch with corn, and that IL
where it should sell for lamb feeding.
After several years work l have sat
isfed myself that a, good, plump, full
kerneled brewing barley is as good !
sheep feed as corn, when fed with A.
talfa hay
Barley Good az Corn.
I know some feeders will not agree
with this, partly because the oil in
corn gives the fleece of the lamb \
better appearance. But actual weigh
Ing of feed and of lambs admits of no
questioning. And no one who has
seen our lambs at the beginning and
end of a feeding period, or who saw
the steers that last year sold for the
highest price ever paid in the open
Denver market, will deny that our
feeding is up to the average of that
done by the ordinary feeder.
Eliminate Prejudice.
Now, admitting this, why should
one retain an old prejudice against
barley as a feed? 1t is true that for
hogs it is somewhat less valuable than
corn, because of the coarse hull en-.
closing it. And am not prepared to
contend that a light weight. thin kerr
neled barley like California feed bar
ley is equal to corn, although even
this may be true, The California feed
barley is a heavy yielder and on that
basis may make up something that
It lacks for feeding.
4 For breeding stock the use of bar.
ley cannot be too strongly advised,
where 1t can be procured cheaply.
Corn seems to burn out an animal
and destroy its breeding powers. and
oats and barley should take its place
In this state.

TREATING SEED FOR SMUT
(sy Professor I. e. Burnett, Amea

(sy Professor {. e. Burnett, AIMEE,
lowa.)
The barley plant ID subject to two
kinds Of smut the .'Ieose smut ana
The covered smut. 2 Tho economic
difference between Theses two sm1uts
ues inSthe fact that the loose smut
lives over winter as q plant inside the
barley kernel, while the covered smut
lies over winter as a spore between
the berry and the hull. This Al
lows the covered smut to be treatsd
and killed with formaldehyde the
same as oat smut; the loose smut,
however, is not killed by this treat
ment, as 1t Is on the inside Of the kerr
mel. Minnesota Bulletin No. 122 gives
= very good description Of these two
Bmuts:
This loose smut Of barley is prob
ably the smut Of barley more common
IN the state, and 1t is at the same
time the more d1h1cult smut to treat.
Il ls hrst OF all Of greatest Importance
that the farmer shall be able to dis
unguish this smut from the covered
smut. The following summary Of diff
Terence should enable him to tell one
from the other:
LOOSE SMUT.
I. Comes out early begins %
soon as heads appear. Maximum smut
about July 1.
a. Often even awns are converted
70 smut.
g. Smut masses break soon after
coming out. and the smut is blown
~ the wind. leaving only the bare
stalks.
=. The smut mass has dark olive
green color. The thin skin around It
breaks very early.
%. Cannot be prevented by formalin
treatment.
COVERED SMUT.
L. Begins to come out about two
weeks later than the loose smut. Max
lmum smut usually about July II
10 Is.
2. Awns are usually not smutted.
3. Smut masses may break, and
some may be blown out, but many of
the smut balls remain on the stalk
until harvest.
4. The smut mass is almost coal
black In color. and has silvery gray
skin aronud it.
Is. Can be prevented by formalin
treatment"
