DAIRY AS FOUNDATION
One Never-Fahing Money-Making
 Resource on Dry Farm.
New Settler Who Takes Herd of Milk ing Cows With Him Can Start Steady Cash Income With First
 Day in His New Home.
CBy H. NJ. COTTRELL.)

VI.
 Dairy is the one never-failing money making resource in dry land farming for the family with little capital. The native wild grass is dependable dairy feed. Kafir and sorghum, when given good treatment, never fail to produce feed crops. These sure feed crops make good silage and for ten dollars outlay and his labor the dry land farm. CT can built pit silo. Buyers of cream pay cash at the time of each purchase. The dry land farmer with a herd of good dairy COWS receives a cash income every week through the year, whether the season is wet or dry.
 The new settler in dry land coun- try who takes a herd of milking COWS with him can go out the first morning he is in his new home and milk the cows while his wife is getting break fast. He can separate the cream and begin a steady cash income with the first day in his new home. The regu. lar weekly return from the sale of cream enables the new settler to pay cash for his household supplies and he need not have. store bills. The skim milk fed to hens and pigs adds to the profits.
 The countless losses and failures in dry land farming in the Southwest have come from attempts to make a living from exclusive grain farming and no stock. A careful dry land farmer in eastern Colorado raised six profitable crops of grain in IS years. The 1914 grain crop is heavy through out the Panhandle. The last generally good grain crop in that district was in 1908. The man who depends entire ly upon raising grain finds the wait between crops too long. It is particu. larly hard when the new settler comes at the beginning of a period of dry years. Where the main income is fur. nished by the dairy COWS, the dry land farmer lives comfortably every year. He sows grain only in those seasons when there is ample moisture and the money that the grain brings is a sur plus that can be used for investment
 When the dry land farmer has suf. ficient capital and is not obliged to have weekly or monthly income. beef cattle, horses and mules are money makers. Beef cattle can be finished to top the market on silage made from kafir or sorghum fed with kafir or milo grain and cottonseed meal. The gains are more rapid than the usual gains made in the corn belt.
 When you think of dry land farm ing think of dairying. When you move to dry land farm take ten to twenty good dairy COWS with you. Make your main crops feed crops for the dairy COWS. Store the surplus in cheap pit silos. Take good care of the COWS and of the cream You will prosper.

BEST LOCATION OF
 HOUSE FOR SWINE
Structure Should Be on High Ground, Well Drained-ven-
 tiIation Is Important.
CBy A. B. WILLIAMS ,

Locate the house for the hogs on high ground That is the first and one of the most important things to drained, and if the soil is light and sandy, or porous, so as to afford good soil-drainage, so much the better.
 The house should have direct access to the pasture if that is possible, even if it is a short walk from the barn. In fact, the farther away from the barn and the dairy house the better.
 If 1t can be located near a stream of running water it will be a decided advantage, because hogs like to cool themselves in clean water or clean mud; and running water affords this. as well as pure drinking water, which is absolutely necessary.
 It is all well enough to say that hogs do not like to wallow in mud, and do so only from necessity. but that is not so. They like mud because it is cooling, and it is an effectual lice killer.
 It is not good for hogs to be com pelled to lie in mud,s and keep con stantly covered with it, but good wallow, occasionally, seems to agree with them.
 Of course hogs may do without mud, provided they are able to reach clean water, and are kept free from lice by spraying.
 There are many styles of hog houses, and every man must decide for himself which is best under his conditions The best house is one that has perfect ventilation, plenty of light.
 For farrowing purposes or for indi- viduals, the movable house is excel lent. This kind of house is easily set up and taken down, and it also may be placed on runners by which it can be easily moved from one pasture to another.
 The roof should be sloping enough to allow the rain to run off quickly, and there should be enough windows to let in the sunlight and air.

STRENGTH. Without Overioadins The Stomach.

The business man, especially, needS food in the morning that will not over load the stomach. but give mental wig or for the day.
 Much depends on the start man gets each day as to how he may ex- pect to accomplish the work on hand.
 He can't be alert with a heavy, fried meat-and-potatoes breakfast. requiring a lot of vital energy in digesting 1t.
 A Calif business man found a food combination for producing energy. He writes:
 For years I was unable to find a breakfast food that had nutrition enough to sustain a business man without overlooking his stomach. caus- ing indigestion and kindred ailments
 Being a very busy and also a very nervous man, I had about decided to give up breakfast altogether. But luck fly was induced to try Grape-Nuts.
 Since that morning have been a new man: can work without tiring. my head is clear and my nerves strong and quiet.

this winter who was selling of both grain and hay and putting the money in his pocket and feeding reduced ra- tions to his work and breeding stock.
 Here was the very worst example of mismanagement, entailing loss hard to make good.
 Make these resolutions: Don't give all your best feed to your work teams or breeding stock, at the same time neeIecting all sanitary arrangements; don't think that liberal grain rations with common forage will fill the bill.
 Don't sell the grain and hay to such an extent that you may have to buy from your neighbor next spring.
 Corn stover with grain will dc from now until the first of April. but brood mares and weanlings. also one and tvo-year-olds. will require some bran along with corn ration, or they will not be thrifty after the winter season is gone

 With regular work horses and mules on the farm during the winter oer,od a good feed of corn morning and night. with plenty of cut corn stover. will do. With brood mares and colts some hay and bran should be added

The Spanish influence in fashions of
the day is more evident in evening
gowns than in others, although it
may be detected everywhere. A model
recently shown by a famous New
York house developed the idea in the
cleverest way in an evening gown
made Of fiesh-colored satin and
canary-colored tulle. The skirt was
full, round and short, cut true to the
original form, and two wide bands of
gold applique and rose brocade
adorned it. One of them was placed
at the height of the knee and the
other halfway between this and the
girdle, which was of the same band
ing. The bodice was merely a baby
waist Of the satin.
The canary tulle yelled the skirt
with full overskirt, cascaded at each
side, and it covered the bodice, falling
in ripples over tie top of the girdle
A red rose was worn in the hair, Span
fish fashion.
The gown of light pink satin pic
tured here is less full and less short
than the model just described, but be-
longs to the same style. The plain,
moderately full skirt is caught up at
each side with silk ornaments and

The story of this winters styles in
way for that of the styles designed
for tourists wear. Palm Beach has
bestowed its world-famous name on
this class of hats and they are inter
esting in themselves, and as hardin
gers of spring, whose influence will be
felt in its modes. But the millinery
of the hour displays the high standard
that was set for harmony by the intro
duction of the hat with neckpiece to
match, and now to these is added the
veil to match also.
Neckpieces to be worn with mid
winter hats are made of some ma
terial appearing in them and take the
form of ruffs, boas, or scarfs, with the
preponderence of favor given to ruffs.
An example of each Of them appears
in the group of matched sets shown in
the picture above.
The familiar ostrich neckpiece is
worn with wide-brimmed dress hat
trimmed with a cluster of four short
plumes at the front, Below, at the
left, is a small felt hat with round
crown and graceful upward-turning
brim. A band of velvet in black and
one of faille ribbon in coral pink cover
the side crown, and fiat bow of the
ribbon covers the mounting of an or
nament of steel and fur at the front.
The neckpiece to match this hat is
wide plating Of velvet like that
used for trimming, with band of fur

like that in the ornament. 1t is fas-
tened with loop and end of velvet in
which a rose made Of the coral ribbon
is set.
At the right a turban is draped
with plain blue velvet and Roman
striped plush, and trimmed with g
band Of dark hackle feathers in bronze
and iridescent colorings. The scarf
is made of the plush and lined with
plain blue silk.
Fur is SO universally used in winter
millinery that 1t has been an easy
matter for the designer to fashion
three-piece sets, consisting of hat,
neckpiece, and muff employing velvet
and fur in combination. These sets
are very smart with tailored suits.
The hats are usually small and so
are the muffs. The neckpieces are
high and few Of them are much longer
than necessary to reach comfortably
around the neck.
