Superior Type Of Farm Horse.
(By ]. T. GRANGER.)

(By ]. T. GRANGER)
The farmer, like any other business
man, should study the most important
question of economy.
Much Of the. farmers capital is in
vested in work and breeding stock. If
he feeds them economically, at the
same time keeping them in good
working and salable condition, he is
following out business principles.
If, on the other hand, he either
stints them or allows them to waste
provender and grain, he loses money.
The writer, in, travelling among
farmers, sees many methods of feed
ing employed. One friend gives his
horses and mules hay and corn in
abundance, but is very careless about
watering and cleaning out the stalls.
Old and young stock are treated
alike. The colt three months old gets
his corn and hay ration, less in pro.
portion, but still just the same feed,
irrespective Of cost or age of the ami.
NAL. No attention is given to details
of stable management.
By the time winter is past the
stock on the farm Told and young)
have eaten tons of hay and quantities
Of corn, but with the advent of spring
they are not in salable condition.
Another farmer friend feeds liberal
grain rations to his horses and mules,
but sells off his good hay and feeds
only refuse forage.
Here we have misplaced idea of
economical feeding on the farm, for
this mans stock will be rough and in
poor condition when spring comes.
Another instance of poor judgment
in feeding. The writer saw farmer

way; and if not cared for properly,
even until his childhood days are over,
he cannot be expected to make a high
figure.
There is no objection to weaving in
fairly good time, but it is absolutely
essential to give some good substitute
for milk.
BY way of grain, good crushed oats
may be served as generously as they
are cleaned up. Carrots are good and
sweet hay may be given whenever
eaten with a relish.
The oats should be old and the hay
not of the present years crop. Too
many foals should not run together,
else the weaker go to the wall.
Economical feeding means good,
solid feed, fed regularly, no waste,
yet no stinting. Good warm quarters,
good bedding, fresh water in liberal
supply at least twice day.
Follow these simple rules and the
appearance Of your stock next spring
will justify the extra trouble.

this winter who was selling off both
grain and hay and putting the money
in his pocket and feeding reduced ra-
lions 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
neglecting 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 slower with grain will do from
now until the first Of April. but brood
mares and weanlings, also one and
two-year-olds. will require some bran
along with corn ration, or they will
not be thrifty after the winter season
Is gone.
All stock should be we'll housed,
well bedded and well watered. No
amount Of food will give good results
unless the stock is taken care of in
every respect
With regular work horses and
mules on the farm during the winter
period good feed of corn morning
and night, with plenty of cut corn
slower, will do. With brood mares and
colts some hay and bran should be
added.
Take brood mare, for instance.
Give her six ears or two quarts Of
shelled corn. with two quarts of bran,
morning and night. Give a feed Of
hay, clover preferred, for the morning
meal. and the same grain ration. with
plenty of slower, at night.
For the young stock little less
corn, but plenty Of hay and slower.
and probably q little less bran.

M UGH ingenuity is evident in the

Finish for Lingerie.

An exquisite finish for lingerie can
be achieved by crochet work, says
the Modern Priscilla Instead of but
tonholing neck and sleeves, cut
smoothly, following the lines of the
pattern. Turn from you with fore
finger of left hand, following the
method known as rolling or whipping.
Over this crochet with fine cotton,
white or colored, using four single
stitches, and picot of four chain. Set
all close together. 1t is substantial,
dainty, producing effect similar to tat.
ting, and is rapid work.

HINTS FOR ALL SEASONS

Pot Easter lilies in good, rough,
open soil in clean pots.
Shower the ported plants daily and
keep clean.
Stick to the standards unless you
are experienced.
Do not try to grow ferns if you can
not give them moist atmosphere.
It is hard to keep flowers in a room
or house where gas is used.
Get the hanging baskets and plants
for them ready for use.
Put a box of good soil, sand and
old manure under shelter for emer-
gency work.
If you must buy plants, get those
especially grown for window garden
culture.
For early lilies pot by the first week

give them small pots. Some kinds
will bloom later.
Give water sparingly to all freshly

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

(By A. B. WIIILIAMS.)
Locate the house for the hogs on
high ground. That is the first and
one Of the most important things to
consider. The location must be we'll
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 short walk from the barn. In
fact, the farther away from the barn
and the dairy house the better.
II it 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 we'll as pure drinking water, which
is absolutely necessary.
It is all we'll 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.
1t is not good for hogs to be COM
PEELED to lie in mud, and keep con-
stantly covered with it, but a 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 narrowing 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 OF quickly,
and there should be enough windows
to let in the sunlight and air.

moderate in design as we'll as price.
Parasols of shepherds check, Dor
dered with bright-colored bands, are
not new in designs, but they are. like
the all-white ones, always in style.
They look especially smart with out
ing hats and dresses, and will be
seen with the Panama hat decorated
with sash in the same color as the
band on the sunshade. They are among
the least costly of all and stand near
the head of the list of desirable access

The Hair at Nloht.

When sleeping. the head should al
ways be uncovered and the hair will
retain its beauty and luster much
longer. Brush the hair thoroughly,
then raise it nearly to the crown Of
the head and braid 1t in one long
braid. 1t can then be thrown over
the pillow and you can sleep on eth
er side or the back without lying
on the hair. and the hair is getting a
good airing all night.

DAISIES ALL YEAR ROUND

In the mild climate of California and
some of the southern states, daisies
bloom all the year around In Cali
fornia these flowers grow very much
larger than those of the East, as do
all Pacific coast flowers; but they
seem to lack brilliancy, and to many
persons are not as satisfactory.
In the colder climates, of course, it
is impossible to keep daisies bloom
ing every month; but by planting diff
ferent varieties some of them may be
kept blooming the entire summer. The
daisy is really not a domesticated fow-

Liberty in Sleeves.

There is a delightful liberty in the
realm of arm covering. To each arm
its sleeve is evidently the creed of the
designers at the moment. If woman
wishes to let an admiring public see
that she has been given the rare gift
of lovely arm she may adopt the
Grecian shoulder drapery which
serves as sleeve, but is careful not
to hide a fraction of the arm.

Is Claim.

Washington. Sept. 25.-No further
doubt remains that Great Britain.
while restraining the trade of the
United States and other neutrals. is
making use of the military situation
to promote her own foreign trade.
The British government refuses to
allow certain forms of raw or partly
manufactured products which originate
in Great Britain and which are needed
here to reach the United States unless
the American business man pledges
that he will not ser the articles man
ufactured tnerefrom to any country
without the consent Of the British
government.
On it's face this is intended to pre-
vent shipment to Germany. Austria or
Turkey. Actually, Great Britain has
compelled American business men to
refrain from shipments to South Am
erica except with her consent.
Taken together. it appears that
British exporters are allowed to reap
the ream of the trade in the Euro
pean neutral countries and that, just
when America is talking about build
ing w Latin-American trade, England
is hampering his country there and
at the same time trying to float an
enormous loan in the American money
market.

Road on Alleged Abuses.

Aberdeen. S. d.. Sept. 25.-Local
milwaukee railway officials nave taken
up the investigation of alleged in
stances in which it is claimed Greek la
boring mcn on the Milwaukee road
have been grated by their fellow
countrymen and forced to contribute
portions of their earnings Zach month
on the ground that the men making
the collections had secured their jobs
for them, and if they did not come
across would see that they were dis
charged.
Formal complaint against the alleged
peonage system was recently made by
Alex kippis, Minas Econas and Jim
Benarls all Greeks in the employ OF
the road here. who sent Frank Sukulis,
another Greek who talks fluent Eng
tish, to the state immigration depart
ment at Pierre in an effort to secure
redress, the Greeks being under the
impression that the immigration de-
partment was devoted to looking after
the interests Of immigrants who are
unfamiliar with American ways.
The immigration department turned
ment, which, after investigating the
complaint, wrote the compliments in
Aberdeen that there was no procedure
under the South Dakota state law by
which the alleged padrones could be
prosecuted, but that the attention of
MllWhuhee ~eGuQudTtelS al Chicago
would be called to the situation. On a
suggestion from headquarters Detec-
tive Byron McVeigh. formerly United
States deputy marshal for out Da-
kota, started an investigation.
According to the statements made by
the compliments. the graft system has
been prevalent for some time. Minas
cona says that since July, 1913. he
has been mulcted Of $73 Of his wages:
Alex kippis says that in September,
1914. ne paid $50 to get his job on the
railroad. and that since that time he
has paid $31 in monthly payments to
retain his position. or a total of SOL;
Jim Benaris says that since July. 1913,
he has paid $81 in graft money.
Milwaukee officials declare the mat
ter will be sifted to the bottom, and
that II it is found that a graft system
really exists in the Greek colony here,
and that laboring men are being robbed
on the pretext that the collector has
power to get them discharged, the
grafters will be prosecuted.
