tests are absolutely unreliable. The
only way to be sure of the kind of
mushroom is to study it. No mush-
room whf~a is not positively known
should be used for food. Anybody with
a very little training may learn to
identify the field mushroom. which is
one of the most common and best fla
vored varieties. The inky caps are
another which are easily learned.
Study them carefully and take no
risks, for experts are often deceived in
kinds not well known.

country who are victims OF the drug

The Partisan creators OF fashion

to them. No doubt the fashion men,
tors had in mind that the spaces in
tervening between the skirt bottoms
and the shoe tops would be utilized
by some creative genius in the intro
duction of the latest fad.
OF course there was the anklet
watch and the anklet mum to fall back
on. but such tame things as these could
very easily be improved on by some
one with Imagination.
Naturally one must have a dainty
ankle. Yes. indeed, q very dainty

FARM MACHINERY A :.
VERY HARD PROBLEM
Difficult Matter for Farmer to
Determine How Much and,
What Kind Is Needed.

A difficult problem on the American
farm is to decide how much and what
kind Of machinery should be pur-
chased. Some farms are SO over
stocked with machinery that the de-
probation, interest and repairs eat
up much Of the profits.
Assuming the average depreciation
on machinery at 10 per cent, and the
interest on the money invested at 6
per cent, we have an average yearly
expense Of approximately $13 on each
500 invested in machinery. A man
who has $500 worth OF machinery
would have $195 expense on this alone
In interest and depreciation. If his
work could be done with half this
amount, he could save $3.50. This
would be equivalent to the interest on
$1,625 at 6 per cent.
A farm of 80 acres cannot profita-
bly, use four-horse machinery because
three horses should do the work on
farm Of this size. In buying ma
chinery too large in proportion to the
size of the farm unnecessary expense
is added. This comes not only in the
Increased cost of machinery but also
in the maintenance Of any extra
horses required.
