DID THE WORK
Grew Strong on Right Food.

You can't grow strong by merely ex-
ercising. You must have food-the
kind you can digest and assimilate.
Unless the food you eat is digested
it adds to the burden the digestive or
gans have naturally to carry. This
often means a nervous breakdown

KAFIR SELAGE THE WINNER
Gave Best Results in Calf FEEDING
Experiments at State AgricuI-
turaI College.

In the To-day feeding experiment
carried on at the Kansas Agricultural
College this year, the most rapid and
economical gain was made with kafir
s1lage. Cane sflage ranked second
and corn silage third. One hundred
and two Hereford calves were used in
this experiment. They were divided
into six groups, to demonstrate the
value of the different feeds commonly
used by Kansas feeders. The average
daily gain for each calf for the 100
days ranged from 1.12 opunds to LAG
pounds. The average cost Of the gain
was between six and seven cents a
pound. ". A. Coehel, head Of the
animal husbandry department Of the
agricultural college is well pleased
with these results.

THE taste OF Paris designers has
1 been called much in question Of
late. So much, that our faith is
no longer pinned to it. But in Paris,
as elsewhere, there are designers and

originated and developed this gown
for young girl need have no mis-
givings as to our opinion.
There are designers who are origi-
nal and also spectacular No one
doubts their genius, but 1t does not
always blossom out into things beau
tifuI. They launch many things which
are interesting, but are not followed,
except at a considerable distance.
But the pretty gown of silk muslin
shown here may be faithfully copied,
and the result will revive our admira-
ton for French refinement
The silk underskirt is straight, with
its scant fulness gathered in to an
underbOdice, Of the same silk, at the
waist line. The underbodice is cut
with very short kmono sleeves and
is full about the waist in the kimono
fashion. Two flouncings of the figured
silk muslin (for which lace may be
substftuted) are gathered to the IN

Queen Poor conversationaIIst.

Queen Mary is a poor conversation
alist- On some one being brought up
to her it is said she will begin to talk
with remarkable felicity, setting the
other at ease and delighting him
Then, all of a sudden, she suddenly
ceases, an acute silence supervenes
and the other does not know whether
to break the pause or slip away. The
fact is the queen talks well by dint Of
concentration; this does not always
last until the end Of the conversation,
and once the thread is broken she
grows distracted, thinking of some
thing else.

A good example of a fashionable

classed as a tie" but finished with
buckles, and goes by the pretty name
Of the "Mignon" tie. The vamp is OF
patent leather with figured cloth
quarters. One can buy shoes Of this
kind with colored quarters, as well as
all black, for manufacturers make
them up with dark blue, green, purple,
gray or brown figured silk cloth with
black vamp and heels.
From the standpoint OF economy, the
al[black shoe is the best choice, since
it is dressy enough for any sort of
dressy wear. But for those who do
not need to consider the item Of price,
the coIored quarter to match a cos
tune is worth considering, even If its
wear is limited.
Considering all that is embodied in
shoes OF this character, the prices
asked for them are not extravagant
They sell at ten dollars a pair, with
the cut rhinestone buckles included
They are lined with satin to match
the color Of the quarters. The buckles
are an item of considerable expense
but their usefulness is not confined to
one pair OF shoes, OF even to shoes at

with a narrow ruff1e OF the same ma
terial. 1t falls over a bias fold Of
light rose-colored brocade, which is
sewed to the foundation skirt
founce of lace falls from under
this fold and over a wide finishing fold
of the brocade. This last fold ex-
tends from the right side to the left
over the drapery and terminates under
the crushed girdle just to the left
of the front. The gird1e is wide and
fastens at the back under a fat bow.
There is a haring lace collar across
the back of the neck, which is sup
ported by fine wires. A double rufhe
Of chiffon is arranged in sUrplice eff

mates at the left side under the girdle.
There are wide finishing rufhes on the
short draped sleeves. The rufles are
joined to the sleeve with a fine mar

This design, appropriate as it is for
the young girl, may be followed in a
general wey for an older person. The
underbodice in this case would not
be made quite so high and the girdle
might be somewhat narrower. Drap

and live stock farming is the best
system
It pays to seed alfalfa in fertile
or fairly rich field even though it is
a crop that adds fertility to the soil.
Alfalfa adds nitrogen to the soil and
increases fertility to that extent, but
since alfalfa yields heavily it uses
large amounts of the other elements
of plant food. In order to produce the
best crop, it is necessary to have a
field that is rich in substances that
go to make the stem and leaves of the
plant.
The seed bed for alfalfa should be
firm, and well stored with moisture
and available plant food. The firm
seed bed allows free movement of the
water from the sub-soil and at the
same time furnishes the plant with
proper root hold. The ideal seed bed
is made by fall blowing and surface
working in the spring. Some growers
who are inexperienced with alfalfa
make the mistake of blowing deeply

the seed A satisfactory bed for fall

blowing Of wheat stumble soon after
harvest If the alfalfa is to be planted
in the spring an excellent seed bed is
often obtained by simply disking clean
corn stubble land This is much bet
ter than spring blowing, though if the
ground could have been stirred deeply
in the fall a better seed bed would
have been the result.
The best rate of seed planting va
ries greatly in different parts of the
state. On river bottom land, in east
ern Kansas, many farmers think it is
good practice to plant as much as thir-
ty pounds of seed to the acre. If
fields which are not well supplied with
moisture, were planted SO thickly as
this the crop would not do at all well.

ings is by applying whitewash made
by Stacking lime with water. One
pint of crude carbolic acid should be
added to each four gallons of this
whitewash.
The most effective method of dip
ping hogs is by the use of a dipping
vat which compels them to swim and
which is deep enough to allow them to
be showed under. In applying dip care
must be taken to wet all parts of the
animals body, as lice are commonly
found on the inside of the legs, be-
mind the ears, on the breast, back of
the fore legs, or in the folds of the
skin on any part Of the body. Use
some reliable dip, and if necessary
repeat the treatment several times.

LIZ
If a drove of hogs are not thriving
we'll they are commonly pronounced
''out of condition. or off feed" and
a patent stock food or condition pow
der is administered If careful ex-
animation of the animals is made, in
such cases, the cause of the unthrifty
condition is often directly traceable
to the presence on the skin of large
numbers of lice or other external
parasites.
When lice increase to large num-
bers, as they are likely to do if not
destroyed, the skins of the animals
become covered with scales and sores.
In extreme cases swelling and inf1am-
nation develop as a result OF the par
asites piercing the skin with their
mouth parts hundreds of times each
day in an effort to secure blood for
food
The irritation thus produced is an
annoyance and worry to the hogs, evil
denced by restlessaess and by rub
bling against any convenient object.
Such affection interferes with the
growth and fattening of hogs, especial
~ SOuuS pigs. LIZ ~ pigs CcnAOI
give nearly SO good returns for feed
consumed as can clean pigs. Lice not
only produce direct injury to hogs. but
also leave them in a debilitated con-
dition, which means a greater suscep-
tibflity to various diseases.
Any treatment to prove effective
against lice on hogs must in clude pre-
wentive, as well as destructive, meas
ures. The sleeping quarters of lousy
hogs become infested with lice, which
crawl from the hogs and hide in the
crevices of the building, and in the
bedding. Eggs on the hair that the
hogs shed viii hatch ont young lice
