Small and medium-sized hats will
take the lead. There will be q VS.

inent are the sailor, mushroom poke.
and the small hat with the left side

given poke effect. The front brim II
often made shorter than the back.
and a slight bend In the center front
gives decidedly poke effect. The
mushroom poke Is small, and the;
brim 10 perfectly straight The crown
is medium high and soft. This ap-
plies to nearly all fall shapes.
The season will start out with fab

Every farmer who Is growing corn
should plant some standard variety
which he knows has been tested and
gives the most profitable yields In his
locality, and from this he should SCI
llect, each year, seed that comes near

make this selection each year because
If 1t is not done the corn will soon
revert to the original type and lose
those qualities which the farmer has
been striving to get. Il
In your selections, instead Of look
ing for an ideal ear only, look for an
ideal stalk made up Of an ideal stem.
OF ideal foliage and of an ideal root
system bearing an ideal ear or ears
covered with ideal husks, and support
ed by an ideal shank. Possibly this
will he hard to find; but you can find
something which approaches 1t and

can select continuously until you have

{Bys L. r. wADRoN Superintendent

Alfalfa is of great value as milk
producer, for it is well known fact
that an ample milk flow requires rich
feeds. Good June pasture produces
an abundance OF milk. It has been
demonstrated that alfalfa hay, when
used with proper kind Of grain, and
with little succulence, such as en-
silage, will practically duplicate .
June pasture.
When cows are properly fed. before
turning onto pasture. they show no
increase OF milk flow upon the pas

larger percentage of protein than
is found in common hays or in most
OF the grains. Protein is supplied
through bran, linseed meal or some
other concentrate. To pay high prices

to such an extent that milk ia pro-

# Let the nozzle OF the hydrant drip

little pool Of water, or by some other
means provide pool somewhere in
the yard. To this pool the robin will
come for mud to build the walls Of

with the mud. In it she will wet
herself before flying to her nest to

When the young fill the nest every
child in the family will want to climb
up to- see them, and the older chill
dren will be tempted to lift them out
OF the nest, hold them in the hand.
and possibly take them into the house
a moment to show mother what bird
babies are like. But to do this Is all
but sure to result in the death OF the
young. A young bird once lifted from
the nest has found his legs" and
viii never be satisfied in the nest
again. He will climb upon it's edge
and go humping down on the lawn
long before he is able to fly, and the
neighbours cat is sure to- get him.
Young birds should never be handled
until they leave the nest of their own
accord. TIL, Ss8it II
AS the parent-robins search the
lawn for worms to feed their young,
hopping a little way and then stop
ping to look and listen, you will often
see an English sparrow following
close behind and a little to right or
left He is expecting the robin to
pull a worm from the ground when
he will dive boldly for it. snatch it
away, and make OF with 1t. In this
.piratical enterprise the sparrow Is not
infrequently successful. X.
Note your robins carefully. Dis
cover upon them If possible some dis;
tinguishing mark, and see whether
they return to you another year. A
male with left wing dropping almost
to the ground as it hoped, returned
three successive years to the same
yard. It has doubtless been injured
In a fight, which ls not an infrequent
occurrence. One may not be certain
that plumage markings Of exceptional
character win recur year after year,
as plumage may vary with moulttngs.

Moving Alfalfa Hay.

An Ohio alfalfa grower has con-
cluded that the loss Of moisture that
takes place in the heavy alfalfa in the
afternoon is more rapid in uncut hay
than in that cut in the early morning
while it is full of the moisture accumu-
lated during the night. For this reason
he does not start the mower until
about noon.
When this plan is followed the rake
is often started to advantage the fol-
lowing morning, as soon as the dew
is of. Especially is thus true in the
case Of crops harvested late in the
season, when the conditions are more
favorable fur curing. AZ

JOHN LIND NAMED MEXICAN MEDIATOR

i The first step by. the Wilson ad-
ministration looking to the pacifica-
st1on OF Mexico was taken the other
day when former Governor John Lind

turbed country under instructions to
act as mediator between the oppos-

"Ex- Governor John Lind Of Mime

AN ELEcTRo.mAchET DERRICK.

A great many interesting expert
ments can be made with an electro
magnet, and 1t can be used in the con.
struction Of a number Of homemade
tops, among which is the electro.mas-
net derrick shown in the illustra.
tons. Lots OF fun can be had with
this derrick in hosting nails and 9th
er small pieces of hardware from the
floor to table top, and 40 the
boom" or arm OF the derrick can be
swung from side to side, and raised
and lowered, loads can be swung from
place to place in just the same way
az with large derricks. The derrick
can be used for loading and unload
ing your toy wagons, carts and trains
of cars, provided. Of course, you use
iron or steel of some sort for your
loads. It ls easy enough TO get nails,
tacks, screw-eyes and odd pieces Of
hardware for the purpose.
An electro-magnet consists of a
center core Of soft iron encased in q
coil OF wire, through which an cleo.
trio current is passed. The core Of
iron and wire becomes magnetic and
remains so just SO long as the current
is allowed to flow through the coil,
and while In this condition will at.
tract metal in the same way as any
permanent magnet.
The construction of an electro-mag-
net Is very simple. You will need .
machine bolt or carriage bolt, q X or:
8 inches long and X inch in diameter.
for the core, some insulated electric
bell copper wire for the coil. some
cardboard and paper, and q battery
cell. Cut three cardboard washers .
trifle larger diameter than the bolt
head Gig. 81, and slip these over the
bolt as shown In Fig. lone at the
head end, the other at the nut end.
Slip one end Of the wire between the
washers at the nut end. allowing 4 or,
inches Of the end to project for con-
nections Zig. ~. Then starting at
that end wind the wire around the.
bolt, keeping the turns even and
pressed close against the preceding
turns. When the other end OF the
bolt has been reached, wind back to
the nut end; then wind back to the
