PROPER CARING FOR HORSES
Comfortably Bedded Stall IL Great
Boon for Tired Anlmal-Should
be Amply Protected.

The proper caring for farm horses
begins with the careful selection OF
farm work, avoiding the use of light
horses for heavy work or extremely
heavy horses for work which could
more easily be done by horses OF
lighter weight.
The horse which Is not suited for
It's task is so heavily handicapped that
no care that can be given 1t can alto
gether compensate for the natural
ineficiency. Lack Of comfortable sta
bling, the essentials of which are lit
tie more than fairly roomy quarters
in dry. light, well ventilated shelter
which protects the animal from heat
in summer and from cold in winter,
may interfere with the horses great
est usefulness.
A comfortably bedded stall is a
great boon to the tired horse, and
such a bed should be supplied as will
encourage the horse to lie down du-
ring much of the night Wet bedding,
uneven stall floors and extremely mar
row stalls are circumstances that too
often interfere with the comfort Of
the horse.-Farm Press.

METHOD FOR CURING MEATS
Animals Should Be Killed Early In
Morning, Allowing Carcass to
Hang All Day to Cool
az WILLIAM HART HARRISON


AS butchering time is at hand and
since we have the reputation of hay
ing the best hams in our neighbor-
hood, our methods may be of some
benefit to those interested in the
curing Of this meat.
We always kill the hogs early in the
morning, allowing them to hang on
the pole all day SO as to get thorough
ly cooled, as more meat is spoiled by
being cut out and sailed before 1t is
thoroughly cold to the bone than from
any other cause.
The day after killing, also early in
the morning, cut out and salt up.
say early, that the women folk may
have the best portion Of the day for
securing the lard, as it is quite a Job
for them when a farmer kills eight
or ten fine hogs.
Before sailing, sprinkle saltpeter on
the hams and shoulders, then rub in
the salt thoroughly, cover with it and
pack the meat in a box. Let it stay
In this condition for from six to eight
weeks, according to the size of the
meat, when it should be taken out,
washed, hung up and smoked.
Wash nicely in q tub of hot water,
using a rough rag to take of all the
old salt and mold. When the water
becomes too greasy, throw 1t out and
put in clean.
AS soon as the piece is washed the
helper stands ready to lake 1t, sprink-
ling lightly with borat, which keeps
it from getting "skippery," Then it
Is covered with all the black pepper
that will stick. when 1t is hung up
ready for smoking.
Always allow it to drip day or
two. Try and smoke 1t before the
weather gets too warm, as it is likely
to get over-heated If hung anywhere
near the fire.
Never use pine wood in smoking
meat. Many use green hickory, but l
always use wet, rotten oak wood. This
smokes freely and does not burn rap
idly nor make hot fire, and / con
slider 1t best for the purpose.

ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY cow
TurnIps and Other Like Root Veeeta-
bIes Make Fine MIX Producing
Feed--Add to Variety.

No matter what some people tell
you, turnips and other roots make
fine milk-producing feed. Turnips
will not affect the favor Of milk, If
fed at the right time.
II turnips are fed in large quaint
ties and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but if fed
directly after milking, no flavor
whatever will be noticed.
A peck Of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient in most cases.
A good plan is to feed directly after
hay in the early morning, and once a
dayis often eonugh.
A little salt scattered over the tur-
nips, which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller, add to their
palatability.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter ration, because they
add to the variety Of the feed, and no
animal on the farm appreciates va
riety more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin, Iowa and otker
western dairy states the root crop
Is becoming very important part Of
the crop Of the farm.

KIMoNo SLEEVE STILL USED
style Which Has Much to Recommend
II Has Not by Any Means Lost
It's Popularity.

The very newest evening gowns
show the kimono sleeve more often
than not. On heavier gowns there is
usually an armhole, even though low
In cut, but for lace and chiffon and all
the sheer materials the hmono cut
is still considered most graceful. In
the silk gowns the sleeve is set In
sometimes with tiny frill or with
cord or a bit of insertion. The arm
hole may be large or small round or
oval, or square cornered. With these
fancy arrangements of the armhole
the shoulders is always long. Some
times the sleeve comes from an in
side guimpe and is not attached at all
TO the waist itself. There are many
charming variations on this idea. Din
-ner gowns are made, In some in
stances, with a square opening at the
neck in front and high at the back.
This sounds old-fashioned, but 1t Is
quite new, nevertheless, The cut Of
the neck is often square this year,
and many models will be seen with the
square back as well; but one must be
assured of good shoulders frst-for

Amber iewelry is in vogue this win
Ter, owing to the fact that touches OF
amber shaded materials have ap-
peared on many Of the smart gowns.
Amber buckles, necklaces, bracelets
and earrings are being sold at nov
city shops and new uses are being de-
vised for old amber ornaments. Odd
beads can be converted into long ear
rings and the proverbial amber cross
can be worn on narrow black rib
bon or at the end of argold chain.
Amber combs, once popular, are
among the novelties shown at one ex-
elusive shop. The long strings OF
beads, If Of the small variety, are sug-
gested for lorgnettes. But no matter
what the amber trinkets happen to be,
they just can be put to good use and
give just the smart note of color thai

where about the costume.

A GOOD BREAKFAST.
Some Persons Never Know What Il
Means.

A good breakfast, a good appetite
and good digestion mean everything
to the man, woman or child who has
anything to do, and wants to get q
good start toward doing it.
A Mo. man tells of his wife's good
breakfast" and also supper, made out
Of Grape-Nuts and cream. He says:
81 should like to tell you how much
good Grape-Nuts has done for my wife.
After being in poor health for the last
IS years, during part Of the time
scarcely anything would stay on her
stomach long enough to nourish her,
finally at the suggestion Of a friend
she tried Grape-Nuts.
Now, after about four weeks on
this delicious and nutritious food, she
has picked up most wonderfully and
seems as well as anyone can be.
Every morning she makes good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten Just as
it comes from the package with cream
or milk added: and then again the
same at supper and the change in her
is wonderful,

There are very few instances when
