simply growing grain; but even
then the most successful breeder
and feeder of live stock is not ale
ways a good grain grower, for
the reason that he gives his
special attention to his live stock
and neglects his grain growing;
and vice versa. Some stockmen
prefer to market their crop in
the shape of pork, others in the
shape of beef, others in the shape
of wool or mutton, others in the
shape of horseflesh, and still
others-and this is really the
highest type of farming after all
in the shape of milk or butter.
Many grain growers fall down
in their marketing because they
fail to cooperate with their
neighbors in getting the shortest
way to market. Many stock
growers, though perhaps not SO
many, fail because they do not
cooperate in breeding their live
stock or in selling it to the best
advantage.
We have not attempted in this
article to tell farmers in detail
how they should grow their grain
or how they should handle theil
stock. We simply want to put
before them this thought, thai
there are just two jobs before the
farmer. One is production ant
the other is selling either direct
ly or.through live stock.
There are several advantages
| in the live stock route to market
One is that it maintains the fer
tility of the soil, while exclusive
grain growing wastes it. An
other is that it helps to solve thu
labor problem, because it fur
nishes labor to a hired man thu
year around, and helps to dis
tribute the work over the year
Another is that we have betteI
buildings and a better state o
society in the live stock sections
than in grain growing sections
The highest civilization we hav'
is where there is the highes
form of stock growing, namely

The Farmers
Two Jobs.

Speaking in a broad and gen.
eral way, the farmer has just
two jobs on his hands this year
and every year. The first is to
produce the stuff, and the second
is to sell it to the best advantage.
The production depends mainly
on the fertility of the soil, and
this again is largely governed by
the way he has performed the
Job of production in times past.
If we are to produce to advari-
tage, we must absorb and use the
wisdom and experience of the
past. We must have a rotation
of crops. We must give proper
drama ge, if that is lacking nat
urally. We must keep the soil
stored with vegetable matter.
We must select the right kind OF
seed, of the right variety, and OF
good quality. We must plant
and SOW. We must cultivate.
We must harvest and stack, crib,
or otherwise protect the crop un'
til it is time to take up the second
job.
We may elect one of two ways
of selling the stuff produced. We
can sell it as coarse grain direct
~ on the market, or keep it un'
til the market is ready for it
but in either case it amounts tc
selling more or less of the fertil'
ity of the land. The other way
is to manufacture it into meats
that is, stock growing.
Very few men are equally eff
ficieut in doing these two jobs
Some men are expert growers
but don't know how either t.
breed or to feed or to market live
stock. Some men can breed wise
", but fail in feeding. Othel
men breed we'll and feed we'll
and yet fail to market to the bes
advantage. The breeding ant
feeding of live stock is a mucf
higher type of farming than il

AvOid tho Cheap and Zig
Can" RakinQ Powders.

The cheap baking powders
have but one recommendation;
they certainly give the purchaser
plenty of powder for his money,
but it's not all baking powder;
the bulk is made up of cheap ma
terials that have no leavening
power. These powders are so
caielessly made from inferior ma
terials that they will not always
make light, wholesome food.
Further, these cheap baking
powders have a very small per-
ceutage of leavening gas; there
fore it takes from two to three
times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as 1t
does of Calumet Baking Powder.
Therefore, in the long run, the
actual cost to the consumer Of
the cheap powders is more than
Calumet would be. Cheap bak'
ing powders leave the bread
sometimes bleached and acid,
sometimes yellow and alkaline,
and often unpalatable. They are
seldom of uniform strength and
quality.
Why not buy perfectly whole
some baking powder like Calu'
met, that is at the same time
moderate in price and one which
can be relied upon? Calumet
is always the same, keeps indef'
initely and gives the cook thu
least trouble. Received High

Kill Flies Nov.

This is a significant warning
that is being sounded on all
sides by boards of health and
other agencies that are at work
in the promotion of cleanliness
and the stamping out of disease
BY eliminating the sources OF
contamination. And a forceful
announcement in these premises
comes from the committee on
pollution and sewerage of the
Merchants Association of New
York, as follows:
Flies cost the United States
$3.50, 900, 900 annually.
The present is the time to kill
flies; before the weather becomes
warm and the ''hold-overs" begin
to propagate.
One fly now means iunumer-
able billions later on:
The determination of the win
ter fly is the duty of the house
wife and of everyone. Don't let
one escape. Catch and kill them
all before spring. for the winter
fly is the parent of summers des-

SiIOS $50 and Up.

Gus Lundgren, manager of the
Long-Bell yard in this city, tells
US he has 'em all skinned on the
silo proposition this year. He
says he can sell silos from $50 up.
He has the agency for the Tulsa,
Unadilla, Tung-Lok, Cement and
Common Sense kinds, and can
furnish them in any and all
sizes.
Now is the time to figure with
him. He is going to be known
as "Silo Gus" before the summer
is over. He says he can sell a
fine 7s-ton silo for 500. Just
think of that, you fellows who
are keeping a good bunch Of
cows. Or II you want bigger
ones, he can furnish them, too.
No matter how good a crop
you may have this year, build a
silo. Give your stock rich green
feed next winter-get 100 per cent
feeding value out of everything
you put in the silo. You know
it will pay. If you doubt it, ask
the fellows who are feeding ST.
lage this winter.

One that is attractive is made of tango
duvetyn-cotton duyetyn. There is a
belted jacket without sleeves, to the
shoulder of which is fastened a cape that
hangs in straight lines to the hips. The
Jacket and cape both end about eight
inches below the hips. There is stitch
ed and buttoned belt of the material and
self covered buttons. The cape is lined
with lemon-yeilow silk.
Pleated fabrics are much used in the
present fashions. There are straight,
pleated skirts. with flaring tunics or puff
ed panniers at the hips. that are good
models for taffeta frocks. Sometimes
the fullness is held in with a hip yoke
sometimes it is not held in, but is rather
accentuated by the panniers or tunics.
There are some attractive net and lace

Tulle is used in wondrous ways this

effective. Many of the new evening frocks

many tulle sleeves-no more than sasheS

To Fasten Dress Shields.

THERE are several ways of fastening
dress shields into waist other
than sewing them III each time they are
changed, which is too much trouble.
The use of snap fasteners is the surest
and quickest way. Sew the socket to
the waist and the ball to the shield.
Another way is to sew narrow piece
of tape to the waist and another piece
to the shield and tie them in. Another
plan is to pin them in with tiny safety
pins. and still another way is to fasten
them in by means of tiny non-rustable
hooks and eyes. Sew the eye to the
waist and the hook to the shield.
