warmer quarters, thus saving high
priced feed and horse flesh.
Try a measure of kindness for a
balanced ration.
The work-horses must have exer.
else and fresh air when not in use.
Turn them out during the warm part
of the day, and let them enjoy them
selves.
Are you simply feeding the horses
to keep them alive this winter, or are
you feeding and caring for them with
an eye to their good flesh and useful
ness when next springs work opens
up? 49,,
Honestly, now, how many men did
you ever see salt their horses in win
ter?
Don't allow tine offer of good, stiff
price for the best colts to tempt you
in letting go of them. You'll need
some fresh young teams one of these
days, and it takes an almost fabulous
sum of money to buy span Of young
horses suitable for farm purposes.
If you can't get competent black
smith to shoe the horses, they are
better off without any. The cause of
most hoof troubles may be traced
back to ill-ftted shoes.

All Shades of GRAY.

Gray in all possible shades is one Of
the colors of the season. Pearl gray
is being most successfully combined
with white velvet and ermine for real
ly rich tea gowns; and a deep shade
OF smoke gray is being very much used
for mantles in conjunction with bands
of smoke gray fox. All shades of rich
blue are in demand in such materials
as velours de laine and liberty cash.
mere Costumes in these materials are
trimmed with bands of sable or of
black fox, and the craze of the moment
seems to be for Chinese embroideries
of the finest description.

The recipe Of doctor for those who
have suffered from blotchy complex
ions and fatigue is worth trying. For
two months, he advises, eat nothing
whatever for breakfast but fruit.
Do not eat again until luncheon,
when you return to your ordinary fare.
No tea, coffee or cocoa is permitted.
For heavy and obese women the
latest idea is that they should eat
very little of ordinary food. but sub
sist only on boiled fish, cold meat and
toast and of that sparingly, but of let
tuce as often and as much as they
like. If they can bear it, their break
fast and supper should be of lettuce
and lettuce alone.

HOG PARALYSIS is
COMMON DISEASE
Trouble Is With Nervous System
and Not With Kidneys as
Generally Supposed.

CBy L. L. LEWIS, Oklahoma Experiment
Station.)
Paralysis is very common disease
among young sows after narrowing
and in young rapidly growing shoats.
The trouble is most commonly known
as kidney worms, and is frequently
referred to as some kind of kidney
disease. The trouble is with the nerv-
GUS system and not with the kidneys.
Before narrowing the sow should be
fed on ground oats, bran, milk, etc,
with very little corn. Knuckling over
in the hind legs is generally the first
symptom. Should partial paralysis
begin to appear the following treat
ment should be given: Five to fifteen
grains of powdered nux vomica in
feed twice day, the dose depending
upon the size of the animal; also give
ten to fifteen grains of sulphate of
lime il feed twice day. This treat
ment should be continued for weeks
if necessary, as Lervous troubles OF
this character are not to be remedied
by any treatment in a few days.

PROTEIN is NEEDED
FOR WINTER FEED
Oats and Peas are Becoming
More Popular Each Year
Easy to Cut and Handle.
(By w. NJ. KELLY

Every year I am coming to appre-
ciate the value of oats and peas as a
summer forage for the dairy cattle and
as source Of protein for winter feed
ing. These crops are becoming more
popular every year. They are very
palatable and nourishing, easy to cut
and handle, and come at a time when
the pastures are short and dry.
A succession of sowings will afford
green feed for a number of weeks
These crops should be sown as early
as possible and the ideal way is to
SOW the peas broadcast and pillow them
in about four inches deep with a one
horse pillow. After four or five days put
in the oats about two inches deep.
They will come up about the same
time and the peas will fill better and
stay green longer for being planted
deep.
On account of the rush of work
during the spring and uncertain
weather conditions we usually mix the
two kinds of seeds and compromise
by drilling as deep as possible, putting
in both kinds of seeds at one opera
ton.
The ground should be rolled and
planked so that the crops can be cut
with a moving machine or scythe.
prefer to use about two bushels of
peas to one of oats, although l fire.
quently vary the amounts according
to the price of the pea seed.
For cutting green it is best to make
a number of sowings about a week or
ten days apart. Two or three acres
Of good land should furnish enough
forage for twenty-five or thirty cows
for a number of weeks during the
summer
For winter feed they will produce
more tons of good feed than clover
hay and will greatly reduce the bills
for grain feed. They should be sown
the same as for forage and cut when
the oats are heading and the peas are
we'll in bloom, then the stock will eat
them more readily with no waste.
Do not wait until the oats are
formed or there will be difficulty
experienced in feeding the fodder.
This mixture is worthy a place on
every dairy farm.

back to the coil and over it. The
hair at the nape of the neck is first
brought up and the ends tucked under
the coil or pinned around it. The ends
of the front and side hair are then
disposed Of in the same way.
Then the lock at the middle of the
forehead is parted and brought down
at each side over the ears to the nape
of the neck. The ends (the lock be-
ing Light are tucked under the waved
hair covering the coil and pinned into
place with invisible pins.
A light fringe of hair curled in fiat,
short ringlets, is cut across the fore
head in a line more or less curved or
straight, as best becomes the wearer.
These ringlets must be dattened to
the head to preserve the correct lines
in this couture. This may be done by
tying them down with light veil for
a few minutes.
The couture is finished with an or
namented band and single, curling
spray of Paradise. The band in this
costume is made of fat jade beads
matching those worn with the cos
tune about the neck. But there are
innumerable bands, THOSE of black
gauze or velvet and rhinestones being
among the most effective.
The costume worn by the handsome
brunette is of black velvet and silver
embroidered net, with a skirt which
appears to wrap about the figure, ter
minating in a high waist line. The

WORKS ALL DAY

A bran mash, once week, is q
renovator for the driving horse. Two
quarts of shelled oats and the same
quantity of wheat bran, scalded about
midday and then covered with Q

add pinch of salt and feed at night.
Give no other grain with this mash,
but of course the regulation ration o.
hay. This once a week mash, given
preferably Saturday night, will do
your driving or riding horse all the
good in the world.
The work stock will also appreciate
the mash, too.
Sell off the old stock. Corn and
hay are both high this year, and it's
long time before spring. Il is hard

cold weather, SO you had better sell
them for what they will bring, and
thereby save feed and incidentally ex-
pense.
The plan of blanketing work
horses is very good one in many
respects, but you must remember
that when once you put the blanket
on. you must be very careful as to
how you take the blanket off.

shown with patent vamp and gray
buckskin top, and others with patent
vamp and tops in shepherd check or
in cloth or suede leather matching

shoes are effective, but not essential
to proper shoe Quitting for the av,
erage woman.
For evening dress there is variety
in slippers to choose from. Black satin
with French heel is great favorite.
The range of ornamentation for the
toes of evening slippers is quite wide
also.
In black or bronze there is the
strapped slipper with bead embroid-
cry. 1t is a graceful shoe and fine
choice for those who need only one
pair of slippers with which to look the
seasons full dress occasions in the
face. 1t is dressy enough for any
wear.
The price of good shoes has adj
vanced because the materials of which
they are made cost more than they
have heretofore. There is no economy
in buying cheap shoes. The expendi-
ture at the end of year will be
greater if one keeps the feet respecta-
bly, clothed, If cheap shoes are bought
than if the better grades are worn. If
one must economic let it be in some

T. VERY season finds women more
wear. Shoes and stockings must be
faultless for the we'll dressed and up
to-date member of modern society,
whether she be devotee of fashion,
or engaged in business or simply de-
voting her time to the business of be-
ing a woman.
The styles now prevailing and those
Just preceding them have brought the
fact into prominence. 1t is not the
fashion to conceal them, but to clothe
them daintily and set the flimsiest of
draperies about them. Lace and chit
fon petticoat, slashed skirts and in
hanging draperies all bespeak atten-
ton to fine footwear.
For general wear a neat looking, in
conspicuous shoe all of leather, or of
leather and cloth, should be chosen.
Perfect fit and neat finish are the
matters of Importance for shoes to be
worn for shopping, travelling and gen.
eral utility. Two pairs are more econ
omical than one, If such shoes are
weZn every day, and one should alter
nate them. They are easily kept in
commission in this way. One pair
dressed and on the shoe tree stands
always in readiness. Properly cleaned
and aired and polished, they will pay
for the attention with long service.
For dressier wear in tho winter
there is the shoe with patent calf

mer lace it would be much prettier
and more in keeping with American
ideas of modesty, which criticism is
made without apologies to the great
designer, who, with such wonderful
fabrics to work with, yet missed the
final finishing touch by placing a glori-
Gus skirt with an Insignificant waist
on so splendid a model.
The couture suits the style of the
wearer and her costume. 1t is one of
those that almost any one will find
becoming, except women with very
thin faces and necks. For them
there are other designs which soften
or conceal their defects.
