STRAW UTILIZED IN EUROPE
Made Quite Paiatable BY Mixing With
eeets, Manoeis, siiaoe and Other
Forage Crops.

In effect, a recent bulletin Of the
United States department. Of agricul-
ture asks why the American farmer
cannot put straw to the same use as
It Is put by the European farmer. In
Europe the farmer knows. as well a.
the American farmer that straw Is not
liked by stock, but instead Of burning
It, Or otherwise wasting Il, the Euro
pean farmer chops It up. mixes It with
beets, mangels, silage or Other feeds,
and makes 1t 50 palatable that II can
be fed to good advantage.
The report states that the bureau OF
crop estimates has found that Is per
cent Of the straw produced in the
United States is burned. In many dis
trfcts there are n cattle and remote
ness from a suitable market makes the
sale Of the straw Improbable. But In
such cases farmer would profit BY an
Investment In a few cattle.

When Father Time comes along
with a birthday to celebrate, or q
danclng-school party, or other great
occasions In the life of a little girl. it
means a pretty frock for her. Even
in,party dresses there is a difference
Of opinion as to whether they should
be simply or deliberately made, but as
the little girl is sure to look pretty
in either sort, fashion smiles approval
on both.
White, pink, blue, pale green and
light yellow are oftenest selected for
the little girls party frock, with white
a favorite choice. Wolfe, batiste, or
candle, and taffeta are the materials
used for making them. Some of the
prettiest light voiles are made. up with
no other decoration than tucks headed
with herhstitching, and smacking about
the waist and yoke. This is done in
heavy white silk. Taffeta is managed
with about the same simplicity, but

for fine swiss embrolderies and val.

GUESSING AT COST OF ROADS
Need Of Standard System Of Account
Ing for Highways-plfTculty Of
Iowa Commission.

There are SO many conflicting state
,ments regarding the cost Of road work
that the desirability Of a comprehen-
sive method Of highway accounting is
evident In order that, taxpayers may
not be misled concerning the total ex-
pense of such work, according to
American Highway. The Iowa state
highway commission has had consid-
cradle difficulty in finding out what
the counties In that state have been
spending, because Of this failure to
have q complete system Of accounts.
One rich county reported collecting
$4,000 for road work, but after in
,vestigation the commission found $780,
800 had been collected. An investiga-
ton Of the accounts Of another
wealthy county reporting 1920 col
'lected revealed a total collection Of
$4,000. The discrepancies were not
due to an intention ia ,hide the amount
Of the funds but merely to lack Of
good accounting.

The time for breeding gifts depends
upon their size and vigor as well as
their age. However, 1t Is seldom adj
yisable to breed a gilt before she 10
eight months old, and In many cases
ten or twelve months is a better age.
What is gained by getting a litter Of
pigs soon may be lost in getting a
small litter. And II the usefulness OF
the SOW as q brood sow be impaired
the total loss in the end ~overbaIances
the gain in getting her to produce
early.
Too young gifts almost invariably
have small Htters. Then their mann
mary organs do not develop right, and
this In turn affects the size OF litter
they will raise next time. II q sow
gives milk out Of only six teats she
cannot raise a dozen good pigs. Also
too young Bows cannot stand the strain
Of nursing a litter. They do not have
the vitality to produce a large flow Of
milk and grow at. the same time.
II q gilt is once really stunted in this
way she never develops as she other
wise would. She is likely never to
raise such strong and vigorous litters
as she could II allowed more maturity
before breeding.

SENSIBLE ARGUMENT.

ILlS IRON tne Dalty OklanOman:
''The ardent prohibitionists make ex-
%travagant claims for their policy, with
which it is not necessary to agree. But
If anybody can produce one sensible
argument in behalf Of the saloon, he

VAMPIRE TRADE.

VSWp bhSA06s " tg q.
The following quotation Is from q
speech delivered at a business mans
meeting in Liverpool, England, by Mr..
Alfred Booth, head Of the Cunard
Steamship company. The American
citizen who advocates preparedness"
for peace or for war-will do well
to ponder these things:
..The most glaring example Of a form
Of consumption which we could per-
fectly well dispense with is the drink
traffic. ! am not thinking now Of the
temperance side Of the question. I'M
p0rtant though that is. we have got far
beyond that now. I am thinking of
the demand which the trade makes
upon the services Of our ships, our
railways and carts, and of u labor.
Thirty thousand tons a week Of barley
and other products are brought into
this country for the brewing and dis
filling tradesi Think of the demand
which this makes on the depleted re-
sources of our mercantile marine.
Then all this stuff, together with the
larger quantity which is grown at
home, has to be carted and hauled by
rail to the brewery or distillery. Then
it has to be brought back again and
distributed to the consumer. In addi-
ton to this, e,000 miners are kept per.
manently employed in getting coal, and
10000 tons of coal to be sent every
week to these breweries apd distil-
leries. Taken In the aggregate, the
services absorbed by this trade r
a gigantic scale, and the net result
Of 1t all Is a decrease In national eff
cheney. I say in all seriousness that.
II we are to maintain our armies in
the field, we shall before long have to
choose between bread and beer"

Appalling Loss Of Cream Due to Uni.
versaI Tendency Of Operator to
Work Machine Slowly. q

At Purdue university the experiment
station collected and published a lot
Of data showing the appalling loss in
cream due to the universal tendency Of
separator operators to turn the ma
chine too slowly. Their bulletin No. 116,
volume Is. was revelation to many,
many %dairymen, who had been losing
anywhere up to 500 per year worth Of
butterfat, simply by turning their sepa-
rators below speed.
At the fairs recently, a leading
speedometer manufacturer had thou
sands Of tests run to get further proofs
positive that a great majority of op-
orators turn their machines below
speed! Over 95 per cent Of the dairy
lei turned their machines too slowly.
And a majority turned them so far be-
low speed that they were, losing
pounds and pounds Of butterfat every
week.
