PROPER FEED FOR DRY cows
Animals Digestive Organs Should BE
Given Rest by Giving Materials
to Build Up Calf.
(By W. F. PuRDuE.l

AS soon as COW stops giving milk
feeding should begin at once for the
following year There are three spe-
cific purposes for which she should be
fed during her brief vacation.
First If she is good, Woodworking
cow, her last years work has been
wearing on her and her digestive APP
paratus should have rest as far as
practicable. To accomplish this pur-
pose feeds of a cooling and light, bulky
nature; as pasture grass, In summer
and silage in winter should be sup
piled.
Secondly, in feeding the dry COW 1t
is essential to build up the future calf.
heterogeneous or protein feed must be
given for this purpose. About all the
alfalfa or Glove, hay that the cow will
eat. combined with little bran, is ex-
cellent
The third purpose IN feeding is to
store UP in the cows body fat to be
drawn upon later. as well as stamina
for her coming work. To make fat
nothing is better than corn, with a
small amount of other grains. And
there is nothing better for imparting
stamina to an animal than oats.

NEED OF SOIL INCUBATION
Different Kinds Of Bacteria Required
for Each Plant With Exception Of
Alfalfa and Glover.

Leguminous crops such as clovers,
peas. beans, alfalfa and the like, may
fail to do well sometimes, even when
the soil is in good condition and good
seed is used. These plants take their
nitrogen from the air, and they can
not do this unless there is in the soil
a certain kind of bacteria which
changes the air nitrogen to form the
plant can use.
The bacteria develops on the roots
of the plants, If present, and the pres
ence or absence OF them may be
known by examining the plants. Pull
up few plants and if the right kind
of bacteria are in the soil there will
be nodules-smal wart-like lumps-on
the roots A different kind of bacteria
Is required for each plant, with the
exception of alfalfa and sweet clover,
which have similar requirements in
this line.
The bacteria, if needed, may be
supplied in either of two ways. One
way is to drag or drill into the soil
about 200 pounds to the acre of soil
from field where the kind of crop
to be planted has been grown sue
cessfully. The other way is to treat
the bacteria wanted.
The United States, department Of
agriculture viii supply any farmer
with enough of this culture, free, to
treat two bushels of seed.

The new deeply ribbed grapes make
up into the most attractive hats that
have been shown for those who are in
mourning. This Grape is lustrous and
seems more nearly transparent than
has heretofore been put on the market.
In the two hats shown in the picture
given here the exquisite workmanship
appears which one always looks for in
hats made of Grape.
These hats fulfill all the require
ments for correct mourning millinery
They are conservative in shape, of
medium size, graceful, and made en-
tirely (both trimming and shape) of
one material. Black Grape is used only
for mourning wear and is therefore
the correct material for first mourn
ing. 1t is no longer heavy. or even
somber looking, as may be seen in
these pictures.
Both of the models are trimmed
with a butterfly of Grape. beautifully
made over a wire form or outline. 1t
seems appropriate that this lovely en-
blem of the soul should be used in this
way.
In making mourning millinery, neat
and exact workmanship is used in
fashioning the folds, tucks and cords

using on this class of hats. Grape

Faced RuffIes on skirts.

A very new note brought out on
dresses copied after the nineteenth
century period is the facing of the
many rufties which add to the bouffant
lines of gown. One dress Of wood

ruffies around the bottom of the skirt.
Each rufie is faced with sand-colored
silk. Wider rufles outline the neck of
the pointed bodice and edge the cuffs
of the full sleeve. These are also
lined with the contrasting color.
