clean food is used. Some farmers, no
doubt, congratulate themselves that
they have all the corn their hogs will
consume and that there is no better
feed.
I have seen some start their hogs
exclusively on corn at the commence
menk of the fattening period, using no.
care not to give them too much Of 1t,
and finally the result was that the ap-.
petite and digestion of the hogs were
injured and they were given back
set that they did not really overcome.
In feeding corn to hogs it should
be given in small quantities at first.
and the amount gradually increased
as the hogs stomach becomes strong
er. until they are on full feed.
I never feed my hogs very extern
sively on corn. I have found that the
best results are produced by feeding
corn in relatively small quantities in
conjunction with mill feeds, alfalfa
and clover hay, such feeds as turnips,
artichckes and other roots.
TIE profit of feeding hogs depends
upon the cost Of the feed given them.
Therefore, anything that cheapens the
feed increases the profit and especial
ly If it is not done at the expense Of
the health Of the hogs.

arm. falling somewhat lower at the
underarm. The lace of the bodice is
repeated in an overdrapery. Parting
at the waist line in front it slopes to-
ward the back where it falls about
half the length of the figure.
There is long tulle veil, falling
from under very upto-date cap of
point lace. This is novel method for
placing the bridal veil, and gives the
bride an opportunity to indulge in
that ancient superstition which at
tributes good luck to her who wears
something that has been worn before.
The little cap may be made of old lace.
1t is shaped on a foundation of fine
silk-covered wire.
The arms are almost covered by
long kid gloves. A regulation bouquet
of brides roses and lilies of the val.
ley and strand of pearls about the
neck are concessions to customs that
cannot be improved upon in the raj
ment of the bride.

This handsome costume is rather
simple in design, with trained skirt Of
heavy white satin cut plain and fol-

full underbodice of chiffon makes the
loveliest of foundations for the sim

lace is shirred into slight fullness at
the shoulder seams and the bodice
closes surplice-fashion at the front.

Of shot and shell will do much damage
to standing trees, much more than the
damage done similar forests in the
Franco russian war.
Equally serious will be the havoc
wrought by forest fires. These will be
set not only by accident, but also pur.
posely in order to harass the enemy.
This was the case in the Forest of
Compiegne, which is said to have been
fired by the British in order to drive
out the Germans. While the fires may
have been effective from this point of
view, it also doubtless destroyed very
largely the natural beauty of the IA
nous forest and seriously disarranged
the carefully laid plans for its man
agement.
Near Compiegne, the scene of Joan
Of Arcs capture in 1430, lies the state
forest of Compiegne where there has
been severe fighting. This forest,
which is situated at the junction of
the Aisne and Disc rivers, only So
miles northwest of Paris, comprises
36,072 acres and Is the fourth largest
state forest in France. AS in most of
the other. forests in this part of the
country, the principal trees are oak,
beech and hornbeam, with a few other
broadleaf trees and small representa-
ton Of conifers.
Previous to the war the forest of
Compiegne, with its wealth of old oaks
and its network of roads, was regarded
as one of the finest in France, rivaling
even the famous forest of Fontaine.

known as the Beaux Monts and COM
prising some 1853 acres, has in fact
been set aside for special treatment to
preserve its natural beauty.

IN AN authoritative display of fine

insistent demand for fancy ostrich, in
stead Of ostrich plumes, dominates
the minds of designers. Ostrich in
new forms, in fanciful montures, and
in what is generally classed as fancy

Observation-Disclosures hats. And on
the tenth hat. If plumes are used. they
are mounted in odd ways.

SOME EXTRA FEED
DURING THE FALL
Special Care Should Be Given
Cows During Time They Are
in the Stable.

Lei
There Is no time Of the year when
little extra feed will produces bet
ter results than during the fall when
pastures are failing. A COW that goes
into the winter in weak and enact.
ated condition is certain to come out
in a worse condition in the spring.
unless special care and feed are given
her during the time she is in the
stable.
Much Of the poor condition in the
spring, noticeable among dairy cat.
tie, is due to a decline in condition
during the fall.
Cows that freshen in the fall should
have plenty Of forage II the pastures
are short, and sufficient ground food
to get them up to their maximum
yield.
A COW that is allowed to fall away
in her milk yield can seldom be
brought back to her most profitable
yield. and especially at this time Of
the year.
AS q rule I have had better success
In growing fall calves than those that
come in the spring. The average
farmer has more time to devote to
their care and they are not troubled
with flies, and It is easier to keen
them in their normal condition dur
Ing the extreme hot weather.
Then again the fall calves are usu.
ally more vigorous than those that
come in the spring, after their dams
have been kept confined in the stable
all winter without exercise.

Gently unenviably prominent in the
war dispatches.
ITO the southeast of Valenciennes
and Maubeuge, where the big fortress
wis captured by the Germans early
MIhe war, lies the region known by
de general name of Ardennes. Long
ago:in the days of the Roman occupa
ti0n this region occupied a vastly
greater area than at present, and ex'
tended eastward as far as the Rhine.
Caesar in his Commentaries described
it under the Latin name Of "Arduenna
silva" as the largest forest in Gaul
With the advance of civilization, how.
ever. the forest was gradually cleared
away until now the region is restricted
to an area some 100 miles long by 404
miles wide, divided about equally be,
tween France and Belgium.
South Of the Ardennes is the forest
Of Argonne, concerning which so much
has been heard in the present war as
the scene Of many vigorous encoun:
tiers. The region to which the name lie
commonly applied comprises a rocky.
forest-clad plateau some 63 miles long
| by 10 miles wide. extending from the
Eplateau of the Ardennes on the north
Ito the plateau of Haute Marne on the
south. On the east it is bounded by the
River Mouse and on the west by the
l:Aisne and the Ante. In this district
have been some of the most sanguin.
airy engagements Of the war. The
plateau has an average elevation Of
about 1,150 feet and, like the Ar
dennes, is much dissected by many
lprecipitous gorges. In addition to ita
numerous forests Of oak and beech.
the region is excellently suited to form
q natural barrier to any hostile inva.
sion because Of the fact that the Aire
and other rivers traverse 1t lengthwise
Lparallel to the French border.

cover vary widely. In the roughly rec
tangular area to the northeast of the
Seine and northwest of the Disc, the
country is for the most part very fat,
and is almost wholly given4upsto agri-
culture To the south Of the Disc and
the Aisne, it becomes more undulat-
ing, with low hills. and here the farm
ing land is interspersed with patches
Of forest and woodland. Still farther
to the south and east along the Mouse
river and in the Vosges mountains, the
country becomes still more rugged and
the forests more abundant. NY
The Topography and the Distributed
of the forests throughout this region
probably account largely for the decA
sion Of the Germans to hurl their main
attack against France through Belgium
rather than through the more difficult
route to the south. To these factors
can also be attributed in large measure
the rapid advance Of the right wing
of the German army in the early stages
Of the war, while the left made little
or no progress. In the north the com.
parative level, unwooded country in.
terposed practically no obstacle to the
free movement of the armies, and as
q result the early advance of the
Germans here was almost incredibly
swift. During the same period, farther
to the south in the region Of verdun
and Nancy. the rugged. heavily wooded
country. in conjunction with fortitica-
tons and strongly entrenched troops,
held both armies practically station

be written, it will probably
be found that the forests Of
the regions involved have
played much more important part
than is suspected by. the ordinary
reader, says Samuel T. Dana in Amer
lean Forestry. A hint of this is con-
tanned in a German news dispatch
which read, Heavy fighting continues
in the Argonnes. Our troops are NOV
ing through dense underwood in very
difficult ground with siege trains for
use against the Notifications. The
French troops offer obstinate resis-
tance, firing from trees where machine
guns are posted"
1t is stated that this same forest of
Argonne, which has been the scene Of
such vigorous and continued fighting
during the present war, enabled the
French to repulse the Prussian attack
of 1892, and nearly eighty years later,
in 1870, at the time of the Franco.
Prussian war, concealed the maneu.
vers of the Germans before their crush.
ing defeat of the French in the battle
of Sedan. To the westward the forest
Of Orleans is said to have given the
French the opportunity of rallying for
their final stand in 1871; while to the
eastward the forest of Soignes. by the
shelter which it offered to Yelling
toms forces, contributed to the defeat
Of Napoleon at Waterloo. hs
That the French government itself
recognizes the forests as a means of
defense is shown by a provision in the
Code Forester, adopted in 1927, and
still the forest law of the land, that
private owners can be prevented by
the government from clearing away
forests at the frontier wherever these
are deemed necessary for defensive
purposes. There can be noluestion
but that they are in fact ~ decided

BREEDING OF YOUNG
STOCK Is HARMFUL
Practice, If Carried on for Sue
cessive Generations, Is Sure
to Result Fatally.
DIV III q. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

(By R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)
II there Is any one thing more than
another that will cause the flock on
farm to run out" it is the practice Of
breeding from immature stock.
I am aware that the temptation is
strong to allow a big, strong eve lamb
to become a mother at one year old
and doubtless many are so bred that
do attain their normal strength and
deyelopMant in time, but this practice,
|,f, carried On. for successive genera
tions. is sure toresult fatally.
~ The great feature that helps to sell

! The profit from such lamb is more
than Offset by the loss in size and USE
| fulness of the ewes.
| An animal comes into the world
with series Of fixed characteristics,
and its size is one of them. The exact
size depends upon the matured size
Of each and every ancestor.

the rich pastures and heavy nutritious
feeds Of England. The little Shetland,

They have the same common an

By a scarcity of feed we have the

tons of breeding have fixed these
characteristics. yet 1t is possible under
q system Of scanty feed continued for
endless generations to reduce the size
Of the Shire. Certainly it is possible
by heavy feeding for centuries to
cause the midget Shetlands to become
considerably greater in size.
One generation will work no ap.
preciable change, but 1t is the eternal,
everlasting sticking to the same sys-
tenn that brings about the results.
So with the breeding of the eve
lambs, one generation may do little.
The eve may take a little longer to

early breeding is followed to its ulti
