the product. Well--don't you believe

you were boy sitting beside the
blazing log in the cabin fireplace went
out long years ago as a commercial
product. The 'evaporated apple" Of
the trade is a whittier cleaner, differ

isolated places where the tradition Of
doing and making things for oneself
survives is the oldfashioned dried
apple to be found-and it isn't dried in
the firelight's glow. For the glow and
the crackle are but memories of a van

CARE FOR s1ALL.FED cows
Al Regular Hours Animals Arc Turned
Into commodious Barnyards for
Fresh Air and Exercise.

Somehow many dairymen have
reached the wrong conclusions when
reading of dairy farms where the
cows are stall-fed the year round. II
is by no means intended that the cows
shall have no outdoor exercise; on the
contrary, except for cows that are On
pasture entirely during the summer.
few cows are more intelligently exer
cised and proper ventilation furnished
them than stall-fed animals properly
brought up. At regular hours the ami
mails are turned into commodiOus
barnyards for air and exercise. Dur.
ing the winter this outdoor exercise
is as carefully looked after as during
.he summer. and, in the majority of
cases, the cows occupy only sleeping
hours and milking hours in their sep
arate stalls, the balance Of the time
being spent in large sheds.
Don't be afraid of the fresh air for
your animals during the winter; sea

The Last Shot.

There was probably no incident in
the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 more
dramatic than that which marked its
close. Herr Forckenbeck. president of
the Prussian chamber of deputies. was
sent with colleague to Versailles to
congratulate King William upon his
election as emperor.
Bismarck, who had just concluded
the terms of peace with France, in
vited them to supper. and in the
course of the meal said:
This night, at twelve o'clock. the
last shots will be exchanged between
our troops and the French. and I have
conceded to the French the honor of
the last shot"
Frockenbeck and his colleague left
their host before midnight drew out
their watches, stood underneath a lam
tern of the Hotel du Reservoir, and
waited. First there was a cannon shot
from the German lines; then a solemn
stiffness Then followed the last reply

kitchen and back porch introduces a
combination which produces a domes-
tic workshop that renders housekeep-
ing pleasure. The rear porch is in
tended as sort Of annex to the kitch-
en-a screened outdoor wOrkroon.
The kitchen is fitted with built-in
cupbOards along one side to take the
place Of the stereotyped pantry.
The bathroom is properly placed to
be easy OF access from any part of
the house. This little bathroom is
finished in white enamel with white
hexagon tile floor blocks set in ce.
ment. The wainscoting Is made OF
white tile. and the walls and ceiling
are coated with white enamel paint.
No other finish is quite as suitable for

The manner Of placing a bungalow
on the ground has q good deal to do
with its artistic appearance. Bunga
lows are low down. A real bungalow
sits down close to the ground and
snugsles comfortably in amongst the
shrubbery. To obtain this effect. how.
ever. 1t is not necessary that q
bungalow should be damp. The effect
is produced by the grading up of the
ground. The foundation. to begin
with. is built rs high as for . two

graded up and the shrubbery SO placed

however, where the scarcity of water

Careful investigation has shown that
The soil is always changing. Water

For the most part this is beneficial

exhausted. AS 1t is. new. unweathered
and unexhausted fragments of the un-
derlying rocks are continually adding
to the fertility of the soil zone by TAX
ing the place Of the wornout particles
which nature removes.
Under certain circumstances, how
ever, It frequently happens that this
process takes place too rapidly. that
the particles of topsoil are removed
before the underlying rock fragments
have been sufficiently prepared to take
their places. This is the case especial
ly in the arid and semiarid regions
and in sections where the soil Is par
ticularly sandy in character. Under
such conditions soil blowing" may be
the cause of serious damage. In the

plants
Few General Expedients.
The best remedy. according to the
United States department of agncul-
ture, for the farmer who finds himself
confronted with difficulties of this sort
is to adopt system Of crops which
will cover his land with vegetation at
seasons when strong. dry winds are
most prevalent. The exact system
which the individual farmer should
follow depends, Of course, upon the
climate. the available markets. and
other local factors. There are, how
ever, a few general expedients which
it would be well for him to bear in
mind. For example. il fall blowing is
not necessary, the stubble of the last
crop should be left on the soil as late
as possible in the spring. or oats or
barley may be sown In the late sum-
mer or early fall. The plants will be
killed by the frost and will form a
protective mat on the soil surface.
Another expedient is to protect slow
growing crop from wind damage by a
nurse crop which. planted at the same
time, will grow more rapidly and
shield the former until it is sufficiently
far advanced to take care of itself A
thin seeding Of rye and barley used in
connection with alfalfa is a common

able to abandon the summer fallow
altogether. substituting for 1t . iegu-
minous crop which may be plowed
under In the fall. This practice has
the great advantage Of adding humus
to the soil. thereby not only increas-
ing its fertility but also its resistance
to wind action. The presence of hu-
mus In indeed one of the best prOtec-
tions against blowing. the presence of
organic bodies in the soil increasing
its water-holding power and therefore
aiding in keeping the surface moist.
The sandy trucking soils of the East
may nearly always be made naturally
resistant to wind action by the addi-
tion of humus through the Systematic
planting OF leguminous crops.
Another Protection Method.
Another method Of protecting fields
Is to plant rows Of trees or bushes or
to build fences as windbreaks. This
is effective but apt to be expensive
not only because Of the actual cost
outlay involved but because Of the
amount Of land which is left unpro-
ductive. For this reason the use OF
such artificial windbreaks can hardly
be recommended for extensive agri-
culture. and Is usually restricted to
the cultivation OF fruits, garden vege
tables, etc. Where windbreaks are
erected care should be taken to see
that they are composed Of trees or
bushes which do not harbor insect
pests and whose roots will not spread
out into the adjoining fields.
