JAMES D. DoUGHERTY: 1t is
gratifying to note the enthusiasm
with which the several Carnival COM
mittees are taking hold of their work.
There is a lot to be done before the
arrangements for the celebration can
be completed, and an early start in
the work is absolutely essential.
CHARLES E. WRIGHT (Hilo):
Perhaps the people. of the Big Island
did not buy very much stock in the
Mid-Pacifc Carnival, Limited.
think l can explain it. You see, the
Hawaii residents intend raising at
least $1,000 for float in the Floral
Parade and some more money for
other forms of participation.
DIRECTOR GENERAL DOUGH-
ERTY: Now that the time is getting
short, all sorts of athletic events are
being proposed for the carnival. Bas-
ketball players, bowlers and walkers
all went to get on the program, but,
as it will be big job to run off what
we now plan successfully, these apph-
cations can't be considered.

Bride Hats,

The mode for wearing chin straps Of
silk or velvet with the small hats of
the present day has been in vogue for
some time, but among the latest ar
rivals in the millinery world are wide
brimmed velvet hats trimmed with
bands Of fur, other narrow bands of
fur being brought down from the
sides to fasten beneath the chin. One
model, for instance, was of brick.red
velvet trimmed with skunk, with a
skunk chin strap attached to the brim
beneath a knot of brick-red velvet rib
bon. Ermine is also being used for the
purpose. but its peculiar yellow white
color is not particularly becoming to
eve the most perfect Of complexions.

from fall pasture to dry feed is always
followed by the shrinkage in the
milk.
In changing from the pasture to
the silage is not so great, and
often the cows increase the flow when
started on silage.
Silage is not a complete ration for
a dairy COW. Silage is high in carbo-
hydrates and some concentrates or
roughage with a high protein content
should be fed with it; such as wheat
bran. oil meal. %cottonseed meal or
alfalfa or clover hay.
At the Illinois experiment station
it is reported that a selected herd Of
dairy cows were being maintained on
alfalfa hay and corn silage alone.
The cows are in excellent condition.
and have made good yields and a good
profit.
Every dairyman should make an
effort to grow alfalfa and put up sill

profits, and should be eliminated as
far as possible.
When It is considered that corn
can be grown so easily and in every
section of the country, it stands at
the head Of the list of forage crops
for this purpose.
The yield in feeding value and the
convenience of handling makes it the
best silage crop.
The yield will range from 10 to
20 tons per acre on good soil, and
even higher yields have been re-
ported. At Is tons per acre. one
acre will furnish roughage enough for
two cows for every day in the year.
or four cows during a feeding period
of six months. What other crop will
do that?'
Other crops can be used, such as
sorghum or Gov peas In combina-
ton with either sorghum or corn. The
COW peas improve the silage, for 1t
adds protein. but the yield Is small
and difficult to harvest.

DAIRY PROSPERITY
BY USE OF A SIL0
Dairymen Should Take Advant-
age Of Every Opportunity to
Reduce His Expenses.
tBy j. F., woRMAN.)

If a dairy farmer were told that
he could roll silver dollars down a
hill and then pick up two dollars
for every one he rolled down, and this
statement was verified by some of
his n%eighbors, and hundreds of 9TH
er dairy farmers in the country, that
farmer would stay up nights to roll
the dollars.
But when told that he could double
the profits by the use Of the silo he
becomes very Indifferent and keeps
on in the same old rut, feeding dry
feed, wasting nearly half of his corn
crop and doing a lot of unnecessary
work.
In these days. of close competition
dairymen should be ready to take ad-
vantage of every opportunity to re-
duce the cost of production. and it
will be found that 1t is easier if the
proper methods are used to do that
than to raise the selling price of the
dairy product. The results are the
same: a large net profit.

of the feeding value is in the stalk
and 60 per cent. in the ear. When the
ear alone is fed nearly half of the
corn crop is wasted.
Where the dry stalks are fed at
least half of them remain %uneaten.
while if stored in the silo the loss is
almost nothing.

atable and the conditions for a max,

conditions. however. do not last very
long.
The silo comes as near to supplying
the ideal conditions as anything that
can be found, and It Is available every
day in the year. 1t provides a uni
form feed for every n Of the Il
months.
Highly sensitive dairy cows resent

COME Of the new coiffures 90 to ex.
~ tremes in the matter of height, but
here is one that is conservative and
very attractive. 1t shows several items
that go to make up the new styles.
There Is the loose wave of the hair,
the fringe across the forehead and the
hint Of ringlets at the sides. There
is a glimpse of the ear and the quaint
and "old-timy" jet earring which
makes the skin look so dazzlingly
white when the wearer is passably
fair.
It is noticeable that the hair Is
coiled very loosely at the back, after
all Of it has been waved. 1t falls to the
nape of the neck. This feature Is es-
sential in order that our millinery may
be becoming. No matter whether the
hair is orn moderately or extremely
high, 1t is not to be drawn up or back
tightly at any place.
The hair across the middle of the
forehead is trimmed and curled under.
At the sides the loose ends are curled
into soft light ringlets (inconspicuous,
but we'll cared for), while the mass Of
the hair is combed back and the ends
twisted into a soft fiat coil. This is
pinned fiat to the head, and plain shell
pins are best liked for this purpose.
Speaking Of %pins-wire hair pins must
not be in evidence, no matter how
prodigal the hairdresser finds it nee
essary to be in using them. They are
to be concealed, invisible and rein
forced by plain shell pins either large
or small In size.
For heavy masses Of hair, or what
appears to be a great abundance. the
larger pins are appropriate. They are
not jeweled and are often black in

pleted In strength. Frequently she Is
absolutely exhausted, and requires
many weeks to regain flesh and
strength, II 1t is possible to regain the
loss. There is no doubt but that this
frequent flesh and vitality weakening
impairs the health and value OF the
animal. We're she kept in good round
flesh at all times there is no question
but that she would live longer and be
more productive in advanced years.
The young SOW often grows until
after her second or third litter OF
pigs. Then is the period when matern-
fly tells on an animal most. II to the
physical strain Of giving birth to pigs
and sucking them is added the stunt
ing effect of too light feeding the
young SOW cannot possibly attain her
highest development. This will not
only affect her future earning power,
but will also affect the profits In he-
pigs. They will to some extent inherit
her undersize and weakness, and the
future stock will therefore be small
and poor.
II the young SOW is kept In good,
round flesh until after full maturity
she will have a chance to develop into
a large mother animal, and be able to
transmit her size and strong vitality
to her offspring. II she carries an
abundance Of flesh and some fat near
ly equal to that Of the prime finished
hog for market she will have a sur
plus for the draining weeks OF matern-
ity and not become SO poor at any
time that her system is materially
weakened.
1t is much easier to maintain a SOW
in good flesh than to restore 1t after
1t has been lost, and 1t is better l n
every way for the animal. A good SOW
may be fully half the herd in giving
quality to the pigs If she is given suf-
ficient feed and care to make mani
fest her full powers.

NEW BRICK CHIMNEY
FOR CITY WATER WORKS
Stands 81 Feet High and Cost Over
Thousand DoIlars-OId Metal
Stack Was Unsafe

The new brick chimney at the city
water works plant was completed last
week and accepted by the city
council. 1t was built by John
Richardson and is a fine piece of
work. The chimney is eight feet in
diameter at the base and about five
feet at the top, and towers 81 feet
from the ground.
The old metal stack had been in
use for many years and when taken
down was found to be in such a rust
eaten and generally unsafe condition
that it is matter of wonder it had
not blown down long ago and put the
pumping plant out of commission,
and perhaps fallen upon the building
and done considerable damage.
The chimney costs the city about
$500 and was used for the first
time last Friday.

state by auto, getting in persona
touch with the people and discussing

staff correspondent of the Milwaukee

word of favor for the conservative
element of either the republican or
democrat party, says in its issue of
Friday last: cit is only fair to
state that Mr.. Philip measures up
well in the estimation of those he
meets. His convictions on public
questions he is frank to state, but he
makes it clear that he is actuated by
real convictions and that he has no
sympathy with the petty practices
which have discredited toryism in
Wisconsin politics. Mr.. Philip
stands, to great extent, for the
policies that have been advocated by
the non-partisan conventions held
during the past few months.
