WHY TRIMMING ON LEFT SIDE
Custom Now Universally Followed
Goes Back to the Days of ChiV-
airy and the Rapier.

Did you ever wonder why it seems
natural to put trimming on the left
side of the hat? Of course this year
we are not natural, so far as trimming
is concerned. We swathe our waists
with thick folds, we gather our skirts
in front, we fasten buckles, bows and
other decorations at our knees, and we
blithely wear the trimming of our hat
at left or right, front, back or in the
middle. Perhaps this fashion will dull
our feeling that the left side is the
suitable side for trimming.
This is the reason, anyway why we
have had to hold ourselves in check
lest we put our hats on backward or
sideways to bring the trimming to the
time-honored left side:
|, In the old. old days, when men went
about with swords instead Of pen
knives at their sides they wore trim
ming on their hats; not the small,
neat ribbon band and folded bow they
wear now, but big, waving plume or
two. These plumes, if they were fast
ened at the right side, interfered with
the sweep Of the sword when it was
swung high in air to gather force
swung, naturally, with the right hand
on the right side. Hence the trimming
was placed on the left side, and there
it has remained, on and of, ever since,
until the fashions of the last few years
! came in.

POTATO CROP SAVED BY PUMP
ory Weather Now Has No More
Terrors for StueWe Brothers
of Alma.

Every year someone in Kansas is
demonstrating the value of a small
irrigation pumping plant in sections
of the state where irrigation is not
generally supposed to be necessary for
successful farming. a little water by
irrigation to supplement the deficient
rainfall az critical periods of plant
growth makes a big difference in the
yield.
This is what Stuewe Brothers, Of
Alma. found out last year. They
grow potatoes When the hot, dry
weather arrived last summer they
could not bear to see their potatoes
wither up and die Accordingly they
purchased a centrifugal pump and In
stalled it on the banks of Mil Creek,
which runs through the farm. a gas
oIine engine furnished the power, and
soon the water from Mill creek was
flowing over the thirsty potato field
There was a difference in the yield,

DON'T LET WRINKLES COME
Use Preventive Measures to Keep
Your Face Smooth, and Con-
troll the Emotions.

l once heard a woman say: THE
best way to treat wrinkles is to avoid
getting them" This may sound absurd
but it is true. Wrinkles are caused by
bad facial habits
Laughing, crying, frowning or smil-
Ing will not make you wrinkled, unless
you do one or the other habitually.
then the face becomes set" To keep
the muscles of the face exercised will
not give you wrinkles. Scowling and
wrinkling the forehead when reading
or studying, or when conversing, will,
if continued persistentIy, soon show
deep wrinkles in the forehead, and
about the eyes. You can check your
self of these habits and thus avoid
acquiring wrinkles.
If the eyes are weak or over
strained it is easy to fall into the habit
of drawing the forehead down in
wrinkles about the eyes, thus giving
yourself a cross look, that you prob
ably do not deserve. Pressing gently
the nerves around the eyes and stop
ping now and then to close your eyes
is very restfuI to them. If your eyes
are troublesome, however, better con
suit an ocuIist.

THE SORGHUM CROPS FOR SILAGE-
EXPERIMENTS WITH DAIRY CATTLE
Results of Some Interesting the State Agricultural College
Comparisons Made Between Cane and Corn Siage
Producers of Milk and
Butter Fat.


On the college farm. One-third of the
field was drilled and another third
was listed in. The remainder of the
field was in corn. The drilled cane
made 12.5 tons of siIage per acre, the
listed cane 8 tons, and the corn made
3 tons per acre.
In the fall of 1912 one silo was
filed with cane, one with kafir, and
one with corn. The following yields
were obtained this year: Corn, II
tons of silage per acre; cane, 50
tons, and kafir, 6 tons. The yield OF
kafir was not representative one.
The season Of 1912 was not a good
season for kair and the early frost
cut down the yield considerably.
Here, again, we had the same results
with the cane as we had previously.
1t made a good quality of silage, and
after anaIyzing the different silages
for acidity, it was found that the cane
siIage did not contain as much acid
as the corn siIage at any time during
the winter.
In the first years experiment, cane
silage was compared with corn silage
as a feed for dairy COWS giving milk.
Two lots of four cows were selected
from the herd for the experiment.
These lots were handled in the fol
lowing manner; Lot I. was fed for
the first twenty days on corn silage.
The second twenty days, latter a pc
riOd of ten days intervening) they
we're fed on cane silage, and the third
twenty days they were changed back
to corn silage. Lot II. was fed cane
silage for the first period, corn silage
during the second period, and again
changed to cane silage during the
third period. It was planned to get
a direct comparison of these two
feeds by comparing the average Of
the first and third periods with the
second period in each case. The
COWS gradually decline in milk flow
and the average production of the
first and third periods would be about
equal to the production of the second
period. These COWS were fed a grain
and hay ration in addition to the ST.
/ Iage. The hay ration was kept con-
slant and the amount fed was based
on what the COWS would consume.
The grain ration was fed in proper
tion to the amount of milk produced,
The following table gives the re-
suits of the experiment:

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfulIy says:
THE West still calls with impera-
tive voice To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast Of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close to 5000 a year, that OF
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, max
ing total Of 100000 per year, there
is a strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. 1t is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many Of them continue westward, the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at once set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work of mans hands,
even in the cities with their record
breaking building rush, is the small.
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on a journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
uncOnquered half continent
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the ''home-making spirit The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universe
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no DISPOSE
ton to regard the country as a tenn
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar-
atOry to going back East or becoming
q lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure of the West is strong. II
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages Of the plains
are empowered in trees and vocal
with the song of birds-Advertise-
ment.

Exoneratina the Kinabird.

The department of agriculture has
granted a certificate of good character
to the k1ngbird, sometimes known in
the rural districts as the bee martin.
q species OF fly catcher which inhabits
nearly every part Of the United States
The kingbird has been under indict-
ment in many sections as q destroyer
of bees and a foe of apiarists.
Experts now declare that If kills
only the drones and the useless bees,
and is, therefore, a boon to the bee
raiser. Besides that, it preys on many
harmful insects and protects farmers
chicken yards from depredations OF
crows ana chicken hawks, which ii

Butterflies as Jewels.

Brilliant butterflies, brought back
by travellers who have been exploring
distant countries, serve only to en-
rich the collections of naturalists. It
is only recently that the muIti-coIored
wings of these brilliant and charming
insects have tempted artistic jewel
ers. They have imprisoned in the
crystal some of these variegated
wings and have made of them jewels
which not only are Tavishing but
which reveal very tempting origi-
nality. A brooch has been made with
the two wings of one of these butter
flies. They were arranged in the
shape of a butterfly between two thin
sheets of crystal. The edge of the
wings was set with diamonds and an
opal formed the body of the fly.

q ORGHUM CROPS, both the sac
~ charine and non-saccharine,
can be used for silage with
good results. The corn plant has con-
siderable prestige as a silage crop, and
it has been more generally used for
this purpose than any other crop. In
fact, its use has. become so general
that some of the farmers and stock
men have believed that it was the
only crop fit to be used for silage.
Two years ago the Dairy Depart
ment of the Kansas Agricultural Col
Iege planned an experiment to deter
mine the value of sorghums for 81
lage. In most parts of Kansas the
yield of the sorghums, such as kafr
and sweet sorghum, is a great deal
larger than that of corn, and some
seasons the yield is several times
larger per acre. 1t was thought that
if these crops could be made into
silage they would be of particular ad-
vantage to the farmers and stockmen
of western Kansas, where they have
difficulty in getting a, crop of corn.
The first sorghum crop put in the
silo was the sweet sorghum, which is
commonly called cane. Previous ex-
periments with this crop, and the eX-
perience Of some farmers, has given
the general impression that the cane
contains too much sugar, and that 81
lage made from it would be very sour
and stock would not eat it. Our re-
suits the first year show that silage
made from the cane did not contain
as much acid at any time during the
year as did the silage made from
corn. This, of course, is quite con-
trary to the belief heretofore held by
many, but it is easily explained after
little thought and investigation.
Where cane had been made into 81
lage it had been put up entirely too
early. Those who tried it had put it
into the silo at the same time that
they cut their corn for silage. At
this stage of maturity the cane con-
tains entirely too much moisture or
sap, and if put up at this time it is
certain to result in a sour siIage The
cane was not put up until three weeks
after the corn silage was made. At
this time the cane seed was hard, but
the stalk was we'll filled with sap,
yet it did not contain an excess OF
moisture The cane used in. this ex-
pertinent was grown on upland soil

Corn is the most important Amer
lean cereal. It was not known TO the
civilized world before the discovery
of the western continent, but because
of its value as food for man and for
live stock it has come to occupy its
present Importance. In localities
where corn thrives well it will pro-
duce a much larger amount OF food
per acre than any other cereal, and
it is now grown extensively over all
