A Successful 37-Year-0ld Farmer
on a A7-Acre Farm

In the current issue OF Farm and
Preside, the national farm paper
published at Springfield, Ohio, ap-
pears an interesting account Of q
Wisconsin farmer 81 years old who,
starting 10 years ago with nothing,
has made a splendid success on a
i7-acre farm. This farmers name
is August Fisher, and he lives in
Dunn County, Wisconsin. Follow
ing is an extract from the article:
They are raising five children,
the eldest OF which is nine years. all
as bright and healthy as any chill
dren you ever saw. A house and
barn have been built, both Of which
are well suited TO their needs. The
house is a ten-room structure, built
and planned throughout with a
view to promoting the health and
happiness of the family.
Now remember, please, that all
this has been accomplished in ten
years on forty-seven-acre farm,
not all under cultivation, and that
without mourning any debt ex-
cept the one thousand dol
lars which Mr.. Fisher Dor
rowed from his. father, and
which he used in the beginning
when he was buying the farm.
MIG. Fisher has had two princi-
pal sources Of income-his dairy
and hogs. He had eight cows be-
sides eight or ten heifers when we
were there, and he sells about
twenty hogs each year. His cream
checks at a local creamery have
been about one hundred dollars
per month from the eight cows"

Every year thousands of colts are
lost through the bad handling of brood
mares. AS a general rule 1t is safe to
say that farmers do not appreciate
how easily q mare with foaI can be in
jured.
1t does a brood mare no harm to be
worked gently up to within ten days
or two weeks of foaling. but if she Is
subjected to sudden strain by being
forced to pull big load out of tight
place OF Is driven through heavy mud
or deep snow drifts. trouble Is almost
sure to follow.
One of the most common causes OF
injury to mares in foal Is slipping on
the Ice in the early spring. If the
mare must be driven she should be
shod with light, sharp shoes, but she
should never be used on the road
when it is avoidable.
Swinging doors of box stalls are
also prolific sources of danger as a
mare may be caught in half closed
door. A blow on the body with a
heavy halter in the hands of hot
tempered man may cause the loss of
q foal Mares with foal should never
be driven, but always led.
Mares with foal, particularly when
close to the foaling period, are apt to
be quarrelsome, and If two or more
are permitted to run together, there is
always danger that they may be in
tured in fight. A kick in the abdo-
men has caused the loss of thousands
of foals.
The mare with foal should have
light exercise, but it is always safer
to work her gently than to allow her
to run in the pasture with other
horses, particularly If they have free
access to the open door of the barn.
Mares are frequently injured by be-
ing crowded against the door jamb by
other horses when entering or leaving
the barn.
If the mare is with foal in the stable
keep the premises perfectly clean at
all times, with plenty of clean, soft
bedding. AS soon as the foal arrives,
all the bedding should be at once re-
moved and burned, and the floor
should be thoroughly cleaned and
sprinkled with disinfectant.
The colt should have constant care

The soaking over night is valuable

ders must be delivered for the early
morning trade.
Our onions are sent to market in
lots of dozen punches each, wrapped
in plain wrapping paper and tied
loosely with stout cord, to prevent
dust from settling on them in transit.
The yellow Danvers variety is our
favorite for green onions because of
their quick and uniform growth, fresh
white color and mild flavor.
Sprouts Of red onions are tougher
and streaked with purplish color
which dealers do not like, invariably
prefering pure white onion for
bunch onions.

THE taste of Paris designers has
i 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 it does not
always blossom out into things beau
tiful. 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 kimono sleeves and
is full about the waist in the kimono
fashion. Two flouncings of the figured
silk muslin (for which lace may be
substituted) are gathered to the un-
derskirt. The upper flounce droops
a few inches at the back.

GETTING SPRING
ONIONS TO FRONT
Fresh Vegetables Put Up in Neat
Packages Are Always in De-
mand in All Big Cities.

By LAVILLA WRIGHT MACOMBER)
Having discovered, after several
seasons of experience, that large size
sets yield better than the small ones
and occupy no more space, we sort
out our small, even sized sets in early
spring and sell to the stores, retaining
all the medium or large left over
onions to set for marketing.
Often grocers who have large
amount of grown onions left over in
their cellars are glad to get rid Of
them for little or nothing and they
make the best Of sets even when the
sprouts are spindled for they soon
straighten out Of doors and have near
~ week the start OF those not al
ready sprouted.
We set our onions just as soon as
the ground can be plowed and roughly
leveled. leaving enough space between
the closely set rows to cultivate with
q wheel hoe. A cold snap or light
snow does not hurt them except to
retard growth and we find that the
sets must be placed In the ground and
pushed along for market at the earli-
est possible date to meet the first de-
mands, which. before town gardens
begin to bear, are brisk.
Our onions are placed on the mar
ket as soon as the bulbs begin to
show slightly rounded bottoms and
our customers prefer them at that
stage rather than when the bottoms
are nicely rounded and the onion
flavor more pronounced. The extreme
tips of the bunch only are clipped
to give neater appearance and they
are tied well down onto the tops that
the string may not cut into the tender
white part.
AS our orders are usually sent In
the day before. the onions are pulled
In the evening and left standing, bot
toms down, In tubs Of water over
night. The water loosens the rotten
outside skins which may be easily
slipped down and the roots clipped
mot too closely or the cut ends will

sewed to the foundation skirt.
A f1ounce of lace falls from under
this fold and over a wide finishing fold
CT 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 girdle is wide and
fastens at the back under fat bow.
There is a flaring lace collar across

feet about the open neck. 1t termi-
mates at the left side under the girdle.
There are wide finishing ruff1es on the
short draped sleeves. The rufaes are
joined to the sleeve with a fine mar
row beading.
This design. appropriate as 1t is for
the young girl, may be followed In a
general way for an older person. The
underbodice in this case would not
be made quite SO high and the girdle
might be somewhat. narrower. Drap-

birth to insure a good start in life
Contrary to the prevailing opinion
among farmers, the bot which infestt
the stomach Of the horse is oftei
harmful to both young and old ami
mails, and may be especially disastrous
to colts. The bot is the larval stage
of the horse botfy. The botfly repro
duces by depositing light yellow, ova.
eggs, which are attached by the adult
female to the hair of the legs, breast
and neck. The eggs hatch; then the
horse ticks itself and some of the
small larvae are taken through the
mouth into the stomach, where they
attach themselves firmly to the lining,
BY their parasitic tendencies large
number Of bots covering the lining OF
the stomach damage the interior OF
that organ, prevent digestive action
and in some cases cause the horse to
remain In such poor condition that
death may ensue. 1t is probable that
many cases Of poor condition in horses
thought to be due to worms are really
due to heavy infestation with bots.
A very effective treatment which
will remove bots within "a to 4S hours
Is as follows: The day preceding the
treatment a small amount of hay and
a moderate amount of oats is given in
the morning; in the evening food is
withheld and purgative given-Bar-
bados aloes, 1 ounce; or raw linseed
oil, pint. The day of the treatment,
at o'clock in the morning, give 8
drains of carbon bisulphid in gelatin
capsule; at 7 o'clock repeat the dose
in the same manner; and at o'clock
give the third and last dose, making
in all 9 drains of carbon bisulphid in
three geletin capsules.
The above treatment is for the adult
horse. For a yearling colt half the
quantity of carbon bisulphid used for
mature horse will give the desired
results.
If properly administered, the gela-
tin capsule reaches the stomach in
tact, but soon dissolves, and the car
bon bisulphid rapidly evaporates, suf-
locating all bot larvae and other para
sites with which it comes In contact,
but not injuring the horse. Worms
are quite often expelled as well. This
remedy has been used with a large
number of animals, and has proved
successful.

wearer's millinery is anything but q

A good example of q fashionable
shoes is shown in the picture. 1t is

buckles, and goes by the pretty name

all black, for manufacturers maka
them up with dark blue, green, purple,
gray or brown figured silk cloth with
black vamp and heels.
From the standpoint Of economy, the
all-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 colored quarter to match cos.
tune is worth considering, even II 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 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.
