to prevent them from being ruined by the exactons

Do the members of alien races hate one an

Thcnth is the prejudice of color Do not the
white people instnctively hate the colored people?
Anyone who thinks about the matter at all
knows that they do not. Such hatred is taught.
In it children receive some of their earliest les
sons from their elders. The white child loves a
coored nanny who is kind to him just dearly
as he loves kind white woman, dearly as he
loves his own mother. too if the nanny is his
nurse. Very early, however the child becomes
adept in Distinguishing. The other white people
regard the colored nanny as an inferior. So an
inferior she becomes to the child The love may
persist; but through it works the poison of preju-
dice and the degrading sense of advantage, OF a
superiority that passes itself off inborn

long for the width, select 4 rug which
will nearly cover the room in width

and failure On this account the farm
ers machinery should be adapted to
covering large areas well In the short

machinery or tractors.
With these explanations it will be
seen that the non-irrisated farmers
working equipment must contain the
following:
Four or five good horses.
One quarter horse disk.
One quarter horse adjustable har-

One quarter horse sulkey plow or
deep tillage machine.
One walking plow.
One grain drill that can be adjusted
to seed grain. cain, millet. peas. etc.
Six to twenty milk cows.

these:

BENEFIT BY WINTER FALLoW
Land Is Best for Crops and Aeeumu-

Deeply and Left Rough.

When land is plowed or disked in
the fall. leaving 1t in good shape to
conserve moisture, 1t is called the
winter fallow. g..
Winter fallowed land is the best for
spring crops and accumulates most
moisture when plowed deeply and left
In the rough until the frost leaves
the ground in the spring. AS soon as
this happens evaporation commences.
and the field should be smoothed over
with the harrow in order to mulch 1t.
When stubble fields are pastured to
cattle there Is not much loss Of moist
ure. for enough dust is raised to flll
the cracks and prevent evaporation:
but as soon as the cattle are taken
Il good disking or plowing Is of
l.enefit. When land is not plowed In
the fall and NO cattle are on 1t. 1t
should be thoroughly disked to save
the winter moisture.
Land which is left all winter in a
packed. hard, cracked state will lose
moisture right along. sometimes
enough to make half a crop. Land
which blows will fallow nicely by ieav-
ing it as plowed In the rough. with
the burrows always running across the
path (at the right angles) of the
wind
In cultivating or narrowing. the
same rule should be observed. and the
rougher the field the less the chance
OF blowing.
All spring grain crops should be
planted on fall plowed land, and II the
land settles heavily during the win
ter 1t will often pay to plow again In
the spring. especially for such crops
as potatoes, corn and beets.
Some good crops OF corn this year
We're made in spite of the dry spell by
blowing in the fall and listing across

ways help to a crop to plow as much
ahead Of planting time as possible to
allow the soil to settle. and absorb
some rain or snow. For this reason
corn land plowed in March is ahead
of ground plowed in May or June. and
will raise more crop.
When plowing is done the soil al
ways breaks up better and makes
superior seed bed II the harrow fol-
lows the plow.
When a single team is used for both
blowing and narrowing. all the land
plowed In the morning should be har-
rowed before dinner. and all the land
plowed in the afternoon narrowed be-
fore supper.

The bodice Is q drapery OF lace over

design is likely to be changed little.
The voile underwaist is to be made

several styles for gowns Of the same

them she can ring changes on her

Small Fruits

Fruit of small size on berry bushes
Is not always chargeable to poor vari-
cites, but is usually due to poor cul-
ture and no pruning. Currants are
largely borne on VOID three or four
years old. Wood that is older than
this should be pruned out and enough
young canes allowed to take their
place. This may be done at any time
after the fruit is ripe. Keep the
plants well cultivated and fertilize
with barnyard manure.
