POTATOES GROWN
IN STRAW STACKS
Unless Ground Is Reasonably

Years and years ago potatoes were

, expense OF operation. The motor
truck has its place on the farm. IL
can be used for blowing and heavy
hauling. but can never replace tho
draft horse. II the draft horse is
permanent part OF agriculture. more
attention should be given 10 its pro
duction.
There is an increasing demand for
heavier horses on the farms Deeper
and better tillage must be practiced In
the future. and this requires heavier
machinery and more motive power.
There are two ways OF increasing this
power One is by increasing the mum
Der OF light horses. But the most eco.
nomical way is to increase the weight
OF the horses This will reduce the
farm labor force: will decrease the
amount OF equipment necessary in re-
quiring less stable room and less
harness. and the cost OF feed will be
lessened
All farmers and breeders who are
breeding horses for commercial pur-
poses should replace their small maras
with heavier ones. This must be done
gradually by adding few good draft
mares to the herd every year and sell
ing the poorer ones Sometimes good
colts may be reared from inferior
mares by mating them TO a good stall
lion. but better ones always will be
the result OF the mating OF better
mares TO the same stallion There are
plenty OF good stations throughout
the state. but the mares are lacking.
and until the farmers come to realize
the value OF the right kind OF mares
the profit in breeding will be low.

DAIRY
FACTS

Whole Wheat or Graham Flour Mush
Takes Place Of Cream-EIimi-
mates Danger Of Scours.

In feeding calves. separated milk

milk.
Make mush of graham or whole
wheat flour and add to the skim milk
and the calves will do as we'll as on
whole milk. A pint of -four will mako
feed for three or four calves, says
a writer In Farm Progress.
Take boiling water and stir flour

have 1t lumpy so 1t will mix we'll
with milk when added to II.
Give the calf new milk the first
week or until the mothers milk Is fit
to use. then begin to add some skim
milk with little of the mush added.
Decrease the new milk and increase
skim milk and mush till calf is about
three weeks old. when you can feed
all skim milk and mush.
Calves fed in this way are not SO
liable to have scours as when they
are fed on cornmeal. as the cooked
wheat Is good for troubles of that
kind In calves.
Care should be taken to not over
1eeo calves. as that sometimes
causes trouble with handled calves.
They should also have a nice green
pasture to run in in summer, or II in
winter. have some kind OF bright.

Two-Year-Old Percheron Stallion.

The breeding OF heavy draft horses
is one OF the most profitable branches
OF live stock farming. Few farmers
realize the importance OF size in a
draft horse when put on the market.
either in public or private sale. A
horse that weighs less than 1900
pounds is not considered a draft horse
In any OF the horse markets OF the
country. yet the mares kept on the or
binary farms are usually lighter than
that. This accounts for the small.
scrubby lot Of horses that are CON
stantly being put on the market at a
loss to the breeder
This was well illustrated at a sale OF
grade horses recently held in the La
mer sale barns at Salina. says the
Kansas lndustrialist. Here the horses
OF good size were readily bought at
good prices. while some OF the lighter
ones could scarcely be sold at any
price. There is an increasing demand
for heavy draft horses in the cities in
spite OF the fact that many firms are
using the motor truck in their delivery
work. The motor truck can be used
profitably only on long. heavy hauls
where the roads are good and speed is
essential. The motor REQUIRES good
roads for its best operation and can
De used to advantage only in the
paved streets of the city or on good
country roads. These remarks we're
made recently by the manager OF a
large express company at Chicago.

Vest Effects Featured.

Vest effects are to be featured ex-
tensively on tailored costumes. Sashes
also, are to be important features
Gold and silver threads worked into
designs of heavy laces of varying
widths enrich the garnitures of several
dresses for afternoon wear The au-
|tumn tailor-made of 1913 has it's advan-
|tages in spite of it's dressiness, because,
it easily can be changed into an after
noon toilette by changing the simple
shirt waists of the morning to fancy
blouse in the afternoon.
The feature of the new nantes
which are heralding the styles for fall
is the collar There is no attempt at
fitting in the collar. After the many
many years when the fit of the collar
made or married the garment, it is
a bit startling to learn that the collar
should not fit. The bunchier, thicker
and clumsier the collar is, the smarter
the wrap becomes. Naturally, it gives
a very thickset look to the back of the
neck One might also pity the wearer
for her hunched shoulders, if there
were any pity left to waste on those
who accept the freaks of fashion. This
effect can be produced in fur very east
ly, and, strange to relate, it does not
look as clumsy in the fur. One natur-
lilly expects a fur collar to be the thick
est. The new fur collars are straight
pieces of the fur which often only
crosses the back of the wrap. Occa-
sionally they roll toward the front and
join a band of fur that is used to out
line the edges. Let not the fact that
his is midsummer deter one from
adopting fur collar, for this distin-
gushing touch is shown on the smart
,st wraps. The dyed furs, especially in
orange shades, are the latest novelty.
New Style Collars.
