Reception at Days
In honor of her house guest, Mrs.
Edward Chrisman, Mrs. Jerome ]. Day
on Saturday week was at home to
more than two hundred frien0s who
called between the hours of three and
six in the afternoon. AS is the case
with all the social affairs over which
Mrs. Day presides, the reception was
marked by delightful informality, and
the eagerness of old-time friends to
visit with Mrs. Chrisman had the
felecitous effect of making the occas-
ion more of glad reunion than a
conventional At Home.
Mrs. Day at the head of the receiv-
ing line was beautiful in an exquisite |
gown of old-gold lace and silk. Mrs.
taffeta Miss Maud Mix in a change
able taffeta frock of dull blue tones
looked as if one of the lovely illus
trations of an 1880 Godey's Magazine
had stepped from those Fascinating
pages. Others who assisted in receiv
ing guests were Mrs. Gainford Mix,
Miss Abbie Mix, Mrs Frank Mix, Mrs.

CEMENT FLOORS FOR STABLE
Cutters Should Be Laid First With
Slight Fall at One End-Use
Wooden TroweI for Finishing.

When laying cement floors, cutters
should be laid first with slight fall
to one end. These should be to
inches deep and Is to 18 inches wide.
The distance from gutter to STAN
chion should be about feet 6 inches
for ordinary cows. Large cows may
need 4 feet 10 inches or feet, while
small heifers require only 4-foot
stall.
The floor should slope to the gut
ter from each side. The passage be-
hind the COWS should be at least 8
feet wide to allow cows to pass with
out crowding. The floor should be
finished with wooden trowel rather
than. a steel one, as the latter makes
a smooth, slippery finish that when
wet is very difficult for the cows to
walk on safely.
II drains are to be laid to carry off
the liquid manure or the water used
in washing the floors, they must be
put in before the floor is laid.

TEST ALL THE DAIRY COWS
Wise Move for Farmer to Send Un.
profitable Animals to Butcher
Many Are Nero "Boarders.'

If a COW Is not we'll qualified for
dairy purposes It does not pay to keep
her for dairy purposes. There is econ
omy in testing all the members Of
dairy herds and sending the unprofit-
able cows to the butcher.
Farmers in San Joaquin county, CAL,
have organized for this purpose.
Farm Adviser Lyons, who is directing
the efforts of the organization, says:
"The movement is one that means a
great saving to farmers, and it is
bound to spread over the entire state.
1t will probably be found that 20 and
25 per cent of the COWS in the average
herd are not paying for their keep.
The dairyman will make money by
selling these cows for beef"

PLANT SOME FRUIT
TREES EVERY YEAR
No Better Way of Utilizing Spare
Time in Fall After Crops
Have Been Harvested.
CBy MEADE FERGUsoN.)

In the economy of man and Of ma
ture trees are of great value not only
through the products which they yield
as food and materials for industrial
purposes, but through the influence
which they exercise upon climate, soil
and the healthiness and beauty of a
community. The village home to be
beautiful and complete must have
shade trees and, IL space permits, fruit
trees. The farm from an economic
standpoint must have trees for shade
and protection from the winds and to
produce wood for the various uses,
such as building, manufacturing tools,
burning, etc. Whenever soil cannot
by any ordinary process be rendered
fit for corn or grass and will bear
trees 1t may be planted as the only,
perhaps the best. mode of turning 1t
to profit. There are some tracts OF
thin, stony or gravelly soils covered
with no growth of any value which
will pay for no Improvement whatever
except starting a tree growth.
In the fall and early winter. after
the crops are harvested and the fall
seeding Is finished, one could utilize
some spare time to no better advantage
than planting trees. There is always
room and suitable place for them
Landlords could easily effect On agree
ment between themselves and their
tenants under which the tenants
would be required to plant and care
for trees upon suitable areas each
year.
In driving through the country and
particularly in and around small towns
one observes with regret neglected
shade and ornamental trees, Of which
there are so many beautiful specimens.
Perhaps a short list may encourage
trial For Towering trees there are the
double Towering crab, English haw-
thorn, pink horse chestnut and catalpa.
For striking characteristics there are
the camperdown elm. weeping beech,
variegated elder, Rivers purple beech
and the linden.
Nothing adds more to the welfare of
a family than fruit, besides which
there is pride and Joy in producing IT
at home. Think Of the big red apples
and the long winter evenings Of your
childhood. Then go out and put the
old orchard in shape. plant new trees
to take the place Of the old and be
happier. II you have only town lot
and not space for the standard sorts
plant dwarf apples and pears. They
occupy little room and will bear in two
or three years. Anyway. plant trees
every season. for they will grow while
you sleep, add comfort to your old age
and make your children glad, all rea-
sons worth consideration.

,Bx R. G. wEATHERsToNEl

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Haymaking is an art which great
many farmers have not yet learned.
The modern method Of making hay
is far different from that of the old
days when the grass was cut with
scythes, turned with pitchforks-if
time permitted-and slowed away in
lark, musty barns, or stacked in the
open field to keep or spoil as might be.
In modern haymaking. time Is es-
sential. If the crop should be cut
day too soon 1t will easily spoil. If
a day too late it's quality may be i'm
paired by it's dry, woody growth. If
it is allowed to lie on the ground "a
hours too long before being tossed and
cured, its quality may be reduced one
half.
Modern haying machinery makes
haymaking easier, but even with all
the appliances that ingenious manu-
facturers have given us, the proper
tion of farmers who make a sure
thing" of their hay crop every year
IS all too small.
There always has been a great deal
OF trouble in curing the clover hay
crop. Much Of its value Is lost be-
cause of the lack of help necessary to
properly cure it and take care Of 1t
after it has been cured. The hay
tedder has helped greatly, and this
kicking machine is now seen on every
good farm where the best modern
methods are employed.
The side rake is another fine ma
chine which helps us in saving the
crop, and IL clover is cut at exactly
the right time the use OF these two
machines will enable any farmer to
save all there is Of his crop, with at
least SO per cent of its feeding value.
The Clio messenger., 1915-08-27

Heretofore, much o. the hay OF
this country was lost through allow
ing 1t to stand in stacks in the field.
The hay barn is now q necessity on
every good farm where the most is
made OF everything. Where hay is
still stacked, canvas covers help a
great deal, but the only way to prop
erly care for clover hay is to put it
into a we'll ventilated barn.
The value of the hay crop depends
largely upon the man who makes It.
He must have exact knowledge Of
the time to cut 1t, just how 1t must be
cured In all kinds Of weather, and
understand the use Of all haying ma
chinery, and know how to make the
most of every hour of the haying sea-
son with his human help as well.
The proper use Of machinery is the
most important thing. Too many
farmers in their haste to get the crop
off the ground crowd their moving
machines beyond their capacity,
which always results in considerable
loss. Nothing is more indicative Of .
poor farmer than the sight Of hay
field in which little rows Of grass,
varying from two to six inches are
left standing, the result Of trying to
make a seven-foot cycle bar cut a
seven-foct six-inch swath.
The machine should be set and so
driven as to cut every spear of grass
slick and clean, and lay 1t down even
ly. Then, when the raking comes on.
there is another source of loss in the
careless way in which the ground is
covered, or rather not covered. Lit.
tie punches of hay left here and there
count largely in the aggregate. and
mean large money loss.

PROPER AMOUNT TO
FEED TO CHICKENS
Some Hens Require More Food

Also in Preference.

The old rule is that five pecks Of
grain will support hen for year,
and one quart day for IL hens is a
fair allowance; but II is well known
that one hen may consume even six
pecks, hence any attempt to feed hens
by fixing upon a certain portion Of
food will fail in securing expected re-
suits. They differ also in preference

less at noon and a full meal at night.
For dozen hens three or four pounds
birds allowed to eat until the last one
has walked away, then the quantity
left over can be weighed, which will
show exactly how much was eaten.
Then the next morning give them
half as much as they ate before, but
scatter the food in litter and let them
work for 1t. 1t Is better to keep them
little hungry than otherwise. At
night fill the trough full of all sorts
Of food that is at hand and suitable
for the purpose intended, and let them
eat until they walk away from it, then
remove the remainder. In thus feed.
