KNITTED BEADED BAG
EASY TO MAKE, THOUGH PRETTY
AND DURABLE.
According to Taste, 1t May Be Con-
strucsed of Entirely Black Material,

ployed-Directions.

| saw a knitted, beaded bag which
the owner told me was at least 25 years
old. 1t was so pretty but so simple
that anyone who knows how TO do the
plain knitting stitch could make one
like it.
This bag was made entirely in black,
but one could use a eolored silk with
white beads, or beads in gold or silver.
One needs a spool of Knitting silk, a
pair of steel needles and several
punches of beads. To make the bag
cast on say 10S stitches and knit back
the second row plain. Break off the
silk and thread on about three feet of
beads, choosing those that go through
the silk easily but not loosely. If the
holes are too small the beads will
YEA the silk, while. If loose, they will
stand away from the silk. Tie the
spool end and the loose end of the silk
together at end of second row and
start the third row. Knit off the first
two stitches and then knit a bead into
every stitch all the way across except
the two end stitches. These are plain.
The fourth row is knitted plain all
the way back.
The Fifth Row-Knit in the beads
as the third row and come back plain.
Then go on knitting alternate plain
and beaded rows until the piece of
work is half it's width. 1t is impossible
to give the exact number of inches,
but when the piece is folded once it
should be a square. Also. do not for
get to leave two plain stitches at each
end and two rows of plain knitting at
the beginning and the end of the work.

be finished with a fringe of beads.

SOME ADVANTAGES
IN STACKING GRAIN
Practice Improves Quality and
Permits Early Flowing for
Crop of Ensuing Year.

The farmer in stacking grain ought
to select a high spot, preferably en-
tirely off the field, which has natural
drainage but not far enough to make
useless hauling. Break up the sur
face and harrow it to a finely pow
dered mulch, to keep the ground mols-
ture out of the stack. If possible, hold
the grain off the ground, giving as
much ventilation as possible. Your
own ingenuity will tell you how to do
this with the material at hand.
Start in the center with two bundles
precisely as you would build a shock,
laying up the bundles against the sides
as large as the stack you wish to
build, slanting the butts from the cen
ter, the heads of each row fitting up
snugly to the heads of preceding row.
After you have built this fiat cone,
begin the second layer from the out
side, breaking joints" by laying the
bundles snugly in the hollows of the
first layer, heads in center. The main
purpose Of the stack is to shed water,
and this should always be kept in
mind while building the stack.
Be careful to get the first four OF
five layers very solid before you begin
to bulge" continuing the stack pre-
cisely as a matched roof is built. Have
plenty of pitch to your bundles, laying
them with the short side up, always

How to restore and maintain the

prodigality. In many of our older
communities soil fertility has been re

is now necessary that intelligent and
vigorous effort be made to farm cor

soil. The domestic animal, with we'll
managed pastures and rational sys-
TENS Of crop rotation, is prominently
adapted to the development of perma-

Land owners must realize this and
must take steps to improve renting
methors by stocking farms with a full

where the renter is not able to do this
for himself, and by giving longer
leases, whereby the renter may reap
the reward of intelligent management

quality to the grain threshed from the
shock.
3. Threshing is made considerably
easier, and nothing like the amount Of
help will be required, as in the case
of shock threshing, so that the total
cost will be practically equalized.
4. There is a big crop this year, and
there are not enough t~hreshers at
hand to thresh 1t, nor cars enough to
haul it for weeks or perhaps months,
and this will give you good storage
at absolutely nc cost. 1t will also pre-

This is an important factor in the re-
ent increase in the cost of food.
The problem of cheap and abun-
dant food is a fundamental one in all
industrial development. 1t was the
abundance and cheapness of food that
made possible the marvellous progress
witnessed in this country during the
past century. During the last sixty
years we have brought into cultivation
the largest and richest body of agrt
cultural land in the world. While this
land was new and rich the production
of abundant crops was accomplished
at little expense and with little knowl-
edge of the principles of conservation
of soil fertility. This period of *
ploitive farming is now past. The o
of production is now enhanced by
low yields, or the use of expensive
methods of maintaining high yields.
Whether the era of cheap and album
dant food is past depends on u abik
ity as a people to develop cheaper and
better means of production than now
prevail. We no longer have unlimited
~undeveloped agricultural resources,
Future increase in production must
come largely from better methods
of farming. Whether we, as a nation
shall attain these improved methods
after a long period of depression, a0
companied by slow adjustment to new
conditions, as has been the case ii
older countries, or whether we shall
attack the problem resolutely and in
diligently and adopt improved meth
DDS as soon as the situation demands,
depends on the efficiency of those
agencies that in recent years have
been built up in this country with q
view to meeting the problems of soil
conservation and agricultural readjust
ments.
The effect of live stock on the fer
tility of the soil needs no demonstra'
ton. It is we'll known to every in
telligent farmer. Up to the present
time, at least. no system of agricul
ture has been permanently profitable
without the use of domestic animals
as a means of maintaining the pro
d~uctiveness of the soil.
