the horse needed ten years from now

The farm horse does most of his
work at walking gait. and he must
have the weight to pull sufficiently
large loads to more than make up for
any deficiency in speed as compared
with lighter animals. The greatest
need on southern farms is for better
work. Texas. for instance. has used
more horses as means Of doing
more work. cuitivating more acres.
but the real need for heavier farm
horses is to enable the farmer to do
better work The best work cannot
be done with one-horse plows and
ether one-horse implements. Large
pluws and disk harrows require larg-
ct horses

Certain patterns ii Cretonne are
suited to dresser scGfs. pin-cushion
covers, slipper bags, candle shades
and other little furnishings that are
required for mems rooms. In the pic
ture dresser set is shown, including
scarf, pincushion and candle shade.
The cretonne shows red rose and
green foliage against a black and
white striped ground. So decided a
pattern is to be most sparingly
used, and the scarf is therefore only
bordered with the cretonne. A
square pincushion is covered first on
one side with small square of the
cretonne sewed smoothly over it. For
the other side considerably larger
square is hemmed about the edges and
pinned over the cushion.
The candle shade is made over a
wire frame and consists of a circu-
lar piece stretched over the top and
sewed to place. A hemmed strip hangs
from the edge of the frame to which
it is sewed.

The Cows Burden

Indulgent treatment pays, believes
Mrs. Ada f. HOWE, a member OF the
State Board of Agriculture of Wis
consln, and especially when it is APP
piled to cows. Mrs. HOWE has com.
manded that all her employees observe
the axiom whether or not they be-
lieve in 1t. The result Is that the How
lie cows are living 10 Eiysium, bovine
ly speaking. Helpers must greet the
COWS cheerily each morning, and
music machine accompanies the gen.
tie stroke of the mixer. Mrs. Howie
it Is said, would install porcelain feed
boxes and have the walls Of the barns
calsomined a delicate cream color.
She has requested the state board OF
agriculture TO put lace curtains on
the stables to be built for the school
of agriculture at the Wisconsin uni
versity. Cows have their tempera-
ment" she says, and they are sensi-
tive to their surroundings. Make the
stable CHEEKY and beautiful and the
cows will respond with wonderful
milk production. Mrs. Howie's idea
while not new exactly, is interesting.
1t is only when we take it to its logi-
cal conclusion that it might become
embarrassing. If music is good,
why is not art also desirable? Would
not copies OF the old masters, hang
ing from gilded rafters, cause the
cows to loosen up to the tune of a
quart or nOreY Hidden orchestras
could send forth sweet music from
behind potted plants, and famous
singers could be booked each season
for stable concerts. Why not meet

PROsPERITY-AND THE TARIFF

PROSPERITY-AND THE TARIFF
December finds the business of our
country at high tide. The basic in
dustries such as iron and copper,
telegraph and telephone are in full
blast, while the railroads are break
ing all records for money earned in
moving the gigantic output of our
fields and factories. The business
year is closing in a great rush of
work we'll done, and the industrial
power OF the United States is proved
again to the satisfaction Of all but
the croakers. The signs Of this
change had been clear for some time.
In the great textile region about Phil
adelphia the manufacturers had had
it dinned into them for months that
low tariff meant ruin even though the
war had practically stopped all i'm
ports. The turn upward caught these
factories short of everything, and now
they are refusing orders while hust-
ling for workers, materials and tools
with which to enlarge their produc-
ton. To win business here one must
have clear-eyed faith in the United
States and its future. Our country Is
all right and will be more so. 1t Is
entirely possible that the end of the
war may bring conditions which will
make tariff changes expedient. II
such conditions come, this nation
must achieve the efficiency and gov
ernmental mobility to meet them
as quickly as they arise. The best
means toward this end is tariff

bushels to the acre planted. In
fact wheat has been 50 generally
planted in Lee county this year
that there is considerable agitation
of flour mill being, established in
one or more communities in the
county. As it is, our farmers have
10 ship to other counties to have
their wheat ground, and as many
are going to plant extensively the
next year, it will be absolutely nee
essary to have a -four min OF more
in the county, and now is the time
for some progressive citizens to get
busy and get the -four mills estab-
lished, before the harvesting Of the
next bumper wheat crop, which is
sure to be made in the county next
year.
The laising Of tobacco is some-
thing that has been abandoned in
Lee county, since the war, until
lately. But the past year demon.
strates that it can be raised here as
well as any state in the union. One
only has to take look at the to-
bacco growing in the Central Set
Element in the Southern portion Of
the county to be convinced. The
samples that have been produced in
Lee county are satisfactory to show
the possibilities Of the culture of
this valuable plant, and the oppor-
Unity the tobacco grower could
have in growing tobacco in this
county. Before the Civil war it was
