No more important question con-

cannot be entirely successful unless
each room has Il favorable exposure.
A living room having windows on
its east and west side may capture
both the morning and afternoon sun.

A porch facing the south makes

weather and CHEEKY. glassed-in sun

For the dining room, an easterly ex-

Of the pen, in troughs or kept before
the birds in hoppers It is not gen
orally considered advisable to feed the
grain on the ground, especially on
heavy sell where it may get wet and
moldy. Unless the floor is kept clean
1t is better to feed the grain in troughs
than on the floor. The troughs should
be nude so that the pigeons will not
reost ON them and soil the feed with
their droppings.
Hoppers are used with good success
but may attract rats in some pigeon
houses. They should be fitted with
wires or nails about two inches apart

the appetite of the birds, giving them

FOR PART OF DINNER MENU
Dish That Experts Have Recommend
ed as Welcome Addition to
the Table.

Little Chicken Aspics.-Line some
plain individual molds with cool aspic
jelly, decorate this with cooked peas
and put them into cool place until
they are required. Put quarter of
pint of thick mayonnaise sauce into
a basin and mix it with quarter of
pint of whipped cream. Then add
by degrees quarter of pint of cool
aspie Jelly (Which is still liqulO.
Have in readiness some of the white
meat of n cooked fowl cut into small
diee-shaped pieces, mask them quickly
with the mayonnaise cream and fill
the individual molds. Turn out the
little individual aspics as soon as the
mixture is quite firm, arrange them
close together around small platter
which has been covered with chopped
aspic and fill the middle of the dish
with salad composed of young peas
(eooked) and lettuce.

fRESHEN COWS IN THE FALL
Many Advantages Over Spring as
CalVing Season-Lactation Pc
riod Is Heightened.

The dairynan with an eye to profit
according to L. A. Higgins of the Mis-
siSsippi A. and NJ college, who is urg-
ing the farmers to adopt the best dairy
practices. It has been determined by
experience that the fall has many adj
vantages over the spring as Il calving
season.
Winter prices for dairy products
are easily % per cent higher" Mr.. Hig-
gins declares. than at any other time
of the year The lactation period,
too, is heightened, as the COW is sure
to milk heavily in the spring. when
grass begins to come up. Another adj
vantage is that the COW will be dry
at the time of year when prices are
lowest and the other farm work de-
mandS the attention of the farmer.
The labor on the farm is thus evenly
distributed throughout the year. en-
aiding the farmer to hire permanent
labor of a high class.
Fall calves do much better than
those dropped in the spring. The
former must be kept up throughout
the winter, and when the grass starts
in spring they are at the right stage
of growth to profit most from the pas
ture. Spring calves are deprived Of
pasture just at the time when it is
most essential to their development,
and the result is that they become
stunted.

Put Bones Under Ground.

Most people do net suspect the great
ferlilizing value there is IN homes TO
the ordinary amateur gardener there
is a wide difference between the bone
he holds in his hand and the soluble
plant food SO necessary TO plant de-
velopment. But the fertilizer compa-
MES know that bones are the highest
class fertilizers (not counting war
prices eff potash) except dried blood.
Ground bones sell ut over $50 ton
wholesale when other fertilizers sell
around $50 To S2j Il ton. The scientific
farmers use large quantities of ground
bone, even in the growing of such
crops as wheat. corn and oats. Re-
member this next spring.

fruit is the breakfast of the average
person. 1t is the meal which most
housewives complain about the often
est, being hard to give variety.
Grapes are ole of the fruits most
enjoyed in the fall and are most
wholesome fruit; apples, pears and
peaches all have a wholesome acid,
very beneficial to the digestion
Plain boiled rice makes a welcome
breakfast cereal; omelets of various
kinds give change from the every
day shell-cooled, poached or fried egg.
A most appetizIng method of serving
eggs is to drop them into individual
rame5ins, cover with cream, dot with
bits of butter and season with salt
and pepper; place in the oven in n
dish of hot water and bake until the
eggs are set.
Where fresh maekerel is obtained.
no more tasty dish can be offered than
broiled mackerel or the fish backed in
cream. Place it in dripping pan
with n little water skin side down.
anu IldNt III ire lAhl bNNH With tile
water has evaporated pour over the
fish cupful of good cream; heat
through and serve, adding the season
ings at the last, not TO curdle the
cream. although that need not entirely
spoil the dish, but it does detract from
its appearance.
Chops, liver and bacon. sausages of
various kinds, are all meats used for
breakfast. Only a small portion should
be served, as it is much better for the
health to eat meat but once n day and
that at the heavy meal, or dinner.
Hot breads are liked for breakfast,
and griddle cakes the year round
never seem to lose their popularity.
For the Sunday breakfast it is wise
to have an entire change. As it is a
meal of more leisure thai everyday
breakfasts, it may be little more
elaborate.
A fruit that is subacid is best to
serve in the morning; cereal with
cream is given. though the practice Of
serving acid fruits and cereals With
cream is quite general.

PROTECT COTTON CROP
Manner Of Handling Has Marked
Influence on Grade.
Growers Have Great Opportunity to
Profit hy Increased Care in Pick
ing Assembling and Ginning
Product This Year.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The manner in which cotton is han
died from the plant to market may
have marked influence on the grade
which is given the baled fiber and so
on the money returns to the former.
Because the present cotton crop is
short, demand strong and prices high,
there are greater differences than or
dinarily in the increase in value for
each higher grade. The present sea-
son, therefore. according to market
specialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, affords cotton
growers one of the best opportunities
of many years to profit by increased
care in picking, assembling and haul
ing seed cotton. in ginning, and in han
ding the bales after ginning.
Ordinarily the matter of grades does
not receive nearly enough attention.
AS q result, farmers lose several mil
lion dollars annually. This loss would
be proportionately greater under the
high ruling prices this year if there
were no Improvement in handling prac-
tees In 1911 the average price of
middlng was $50 cents; in 1912, 1920
cents; in 1913, 1910 cents; in 1914,
794 cents; and in 1915, 100 cents.
Middling is now selling around 16
cents.
The following suggestions for prac-
tees which will tend to raise cotton
grades are made by the cotton market
ing specialists of the United States
department of agriculture.
Don't pick cotton before it has ma
tured. This will insure stronger fiber.
Pick carefully TO avoid mixing leaves
and trash in your seed cotton. Don't
store the seed cotton on the ground
Such precautions will help TO keep the
lint clean and white.
Don't have cotton ginned until it is
thoroughly dry. Ginning while the cot
ton is wet produces rough, neppy
lint which causes great waste in spin
ming. Such cotton. therefore, will not
bring the best prices.
When practicable have the ginner
run MS lllNliliiti y NlbNlS NiipdSh "
produce an even, smooth lint, and pay
willingly slightly increased fee.
Protect your baled cotton carefully
from dust, smoke and moisture, wheth-
er hauling it to market or storing it on
the farm or elsewhere.
1t also pays to handle and store cot
ton seed carefully. This product is
easily aaWaged if stored on the
ground. permitted to get wet, or other
wise carelesSly handled. Cotton seed
is now selling at high prices and the
farmer, therefore. will profit by keep
ing it in such condition that it will
top the market. 1t viii also pay him
to kee. the seed in good condition for
planting. Whereas cotton seed sold
for S1710 ton in 1911, it was bring
ing $500 Il ton August Il, 1916.

RAISING SWINE ON PASTURE
Grain Feed in Addition Is Required
Where There Is Not Plenty of
Corn Save Barley.

Raising hogs to advantage on pas.
ture requires grain feed in addition.
It is we'll to remember this when de-
Gliding what to do with the corn and
barley crop this fall. If hogs are to
be run on pasture next year, better
save plenty of corn-or if there is not
much corn, barley will do quite well.
The prices for these are on good
level now and there is strong temp
tation to sell. But one year with an
other, more money can be got for grain
after it has been put into rapidly
growing hog in good pasture.

The value of the silo can scarcely

show increase when silage is being fed
The analysis would probably show no
more food units than many other foods
but the silage is palatable and succu-
lent, giving it similar properties to
grass. That is to say, stock will eat
more silage than many other foods
