For Wear in
r'
Autumn Days

An attractive frock of satin and
ge0rgette crepe shows very conserv-
ative Interpretation Of the new mode
which sometimes leaves the spectator
In doubt as to whether the garment is
p coat or q dress. But In this instance
the coat indication is not very strong.
An underpetticoat of crepe is finished
at the bottom with band of the satin,
and a narrower band at the front dec
crates the panel effect.
The bodice is simply cut and plain,
but 1t sets close to the figure and but
tons at the front. where there is a
square cut-out at the neck. This ia
mlled In with small vestee Of crepe.
and wired frill is set about the edge
of the opening in the silk. The square
opening corresponds with the style of
the bodice and saves the day for it.
The plain bodice buttoning straight
down the front cannot lay claim to
ibecomingness.
The sleeves merit little attention.
They are straight and rather full from
the shoulder to the cuff. The cuffs

TRAIN YOUNG TREES
DURING THE SUMMER
Where Too Many Limbs Are
Starting They May Be Trimmed
Remove Rank Limbs.

From time to time during the sum-
mer go over young trees to guide their
growth. If too many limbs are start
ing from a given point, they may be
thinned to, the required number. If q
rank limb tends to fill the center or
cross other limbs, 1t may be removed.
If the strongest limbs all grow in the
same direction, thus giving one-sided
tree, they may be pinched back, thus
encouraging other limbs to start on
the opposite side to balance the frame
work of the tree. In the case of up
right growing varieties, particularly,
the main limbs often tend tc grow
straight upward instead Of spreading.
In such cases the tips of these upright
limbs may be pinched back. This will
induce side limbs to grow outward,
thus securing q spreading form.

TIMOTHY HAY BALED
In THE OPEN FIELD
Many Good Points to Recommend
PraCtice-Being More Gener-
ally Done Every Year.

The practice Of baling hay In the
field has many good points to recon-
mend it and is being more generally
practiced every year. Experience has
shown that if timothy hay is cut at
the right stage and thoroughlyecured.
it can be baled in the field and placed
In closed barn Immediately without
danger.
There is probably no, better time for
cutting timothy hay to be baled than
when. practically all the bloom has
fallen and approximately one-tenth the
heads are beginning to turn yellow.
With good weather. for curing, fair
amount of sunshine and drying wind,
it is possible to cut hay one morning
and bale it the following day, provided
the hay is reasonably free from hank
growing green weeds :

START SLOWLY BUT
RIGHT WITH SHEEP
Expert at Madison Station Ad-
vises Use of Purebred Ram
of Strength and Vigor.

Two outstanding hints for new set
tiers or any farmer who contemplates
going into sheep raising are included
in a bulletin by Frank Kleinheinz
which has just been published by the
agricultural experiment station at
Madison, Wis. These are "use pure
bred ram of vigor and type. and start
with a small flock"
Ewes from the western range may
be bought and used with purebred
sires of good mutton breeds with ex-
cellent results, offspring from the
first cross having made splendid rec
ords in repeated trials at the station
and other farms in the state. A
small flock handled right will develop
in short time into large and profit
able one.
Copies of the bulletin may be OBJ
tanned by writing to the college Of ag-
riculture, Madison.

CARRIED for the
Dancing Party

When little Marie. dances she may
wear the very simplest of all frocks,
like that shown in the picture. 1t is
nothing more than straight piece Of
hin silk, chiffon Or crepe, accordion
plated, and sewed into a narrow band
of fine embroidered batiste or lace or
Drgandie. The plated material Is cut
out under the arms IN A'shallow curve,
to make room for the arm, and the
bodyless skirt is suspended BY shoulder
straps Of velvet ribbon. A rather wide
hem weights the silk little'ands gives
the dress pretty "set."
Under this very simple affair, which
hardly requires that one should think
twice about;it, an ample .pettlcoat and
small boomers of batiste are trimmed
with furbelows of lace and ribbon and
disclose much more work In their
making than is needed for the dress.
Short sox and strap slippers are worn

ALFALFA HAY NEEDS
PROPER PROTECTION
WelI-Cured Crop Is Worth Extra
Expense Involved in PrOVid-

(By RALPH KENNEY, Kansas I.sricul-

(By RALPH KENNEY, KANSAS Ilgricul-
tural College)
Alfalfa hay should not be left unpro-
tected from rains, as is now the prac-
tice on many farms. Well-cured al
falfa hay is well worth the extra eX-
pense involved in protection from ex-
posure to rain and unfavorable wealth.
er. Such hay will command a high
price on the market If sold, and VIII
all be in a salable condition. Like
wise, if fed on the farm, it will have
more nutritive value than if exposed
to all kinds of weather.
Cheap sheds for storing alfalfa may
be constructed from poles 20 feet long
set into the ground and supporting a
pitched roof of corrugated steel or
some prepared roofing. The sides need
only be walled for the upper 5 or Z
feet, thus preventing dashing rains
from beating into the stored hay.

EIGHT COUNTIES YET TO . SETTLE FOR 1915 TAXES

Little Rock, August 17.-There are still eight counties, including Pulas- Xii and Miller, that have not settled for the taxes of 1915. Under the law, the collectors are given fifteen days to settle after their settlements have been approved by the county courts, but no time is prescribed for county court to act. Many of them met on the first Monday in July, and approved the settlements at that time, in which instances the limit of settlements this year should have been July IS. Frequently, however, settlements are delayed until Sep tember 1 and even later It has been suggested that some legislation on the subject to make settlements more uniform would be desirable, and to prevent such great delays.
