Red was a popular color, with
grays and fauns also in favor. A

Doeuillet contrived to give the full
hip effect in his evening costumes
and at the same time preserve the
slender silhouette. Most OF his
gowns had long narrow trains fall

but not exaggeratedly full skirts.

September Is. This is cut and fed in
the dough state the following spring.
A bushel of wheat and ten pounds of
hairy vetch make a very satisfactory
mixture This mixture usually follows
peanuts and is cut in the dough stage
for feed in the spring.
OF course there is a silo on the
farm. The Cotton silO provides a cheap
and convenient place to store all the
corn grown on five or six acres. The
silo takes care of all the corn crop
early in the fall; insures succulent
feed for winter and in long dry spells,
when pastures fail; provides a bal
anced succulent ration when fed with
such protein feeds as cowpeas, peanut
hay and cottonseed meal; and makes
it possible to properly feed more dairy
cattle on the small farm.
The 60-tOn silo holds enough siIage
to feed the Is milk cows for six months
feeding about 80 pounds per day to
each COW. The silage is fed with pea
vines or peanut hay and some cotton
seed meal. The grain ration consists
of about six pounds per day of mix
ture of 800 pounds Of cOttOnseed meal
and 200 pounds of corn and cob meal.
On an average, Is cows are MIXED
the year round. The main source of in
come is the money obtained from the
sale of cream, milk and butter TWEEN
ty per cent cream is sold at Peters
burg, Is miles away, for rs cents per
gallon the year round. A small guam
tity Of ice is used in the summer time
to cool the cream when it is separated
Cream Is Sold.
One five-gallon can Of 20 per cent
cream is sold from the Is COWS every
day in the year They have check
rate of IL cents for fve-gallon can,
but this makes it necessary for the
buyer in Petersburg to meet the train
to receive the can, whereas the ex-
press rate will deliver it, and in small
quantities the express rate is cheaper
in the long run
An average of SIS worth of butter
is sold every month, to regular Gus
toners. The cream and butter sold per
month brings in about $125. The in
come from the sale of young cattle
amounts to about 5000 per year, and
the profit from feeding hogs On skim
milk is about 5000 per year, making a
total income Of 1t least $3.50 per month
from the cows.

sized herd is not bad investment.
One may correctly assume that II
these animals are placed in healthful
surroundings and given the best OF at
tention the best results may be expect
ed of them. This may be accomplished
at very reasonable expense by the
construction of separate stable, which
will easily be paid for by the increased
returns made possible by the better IA
cilities for giving the herd the atten-
ton which modern practice indicates is
necessary for successful dairying.
The particular building shown here

silo. It's main interior is devoted en-
tirely to the housing of stock, it being
assumed that there are other buildings
on the farm devoted to the storage of
roughage to be used in the dairy barn.
This stable has a solid concrete
foundation with walls that extend UP

the wall shall be waterproofed TO keep
moisture away from the foundation.
Inside the foundation walls is a
solid concrete floor which is laid off
with hangers at the sides Of the center
feeding alley, and cow-standing floors,
the front portions being on level with
the manger floors. The standing floors
slope from the center to the cutters.
The alleys behind the cutters are sew
eral inches lower than the standing
floors and are wide enough to make
room for the manure carriers which
run on overhead tracks, This arrange
ynent is excellent for the cleaning Of
the stalls, it being possible to put the
barn in good condition easily and
quickly with minimum of hand labor.
There are doors at each end Of the
litter alleys, opening into the yard, so
that it is possible to have easy access
to the stable from any direction. The
litter carrier track may be carried out
at either end of the alley, but it is
usually found to be most satisfactory
if carried out at the end near the silo,
thus leaving the other end Of the struc-
tUye clear.
There is well-made ceiling over the
COW stable which gives eight feet of
headroom in the clear above the floor
OF the center feed alley. This ceiling

MAKE BIG GUNS ABs0LETE
Western Inventor Devises an Aerial
Torpedo That Gives Promise
Of Effectiveness.

What may eventually prove to be a
highly effective war implement, and, it
so, possibly render present heavy ar
tillery obsolete for long range opera
tons, is a self-controlled aerial tor
pedo that has lately been developed in
Colorado. It is described in the Au-
gust number Of Popular Mechanics
Magazine. In general way, the in
strument attempts to accomplish over
land what the United States navy's
new wireless torpedo does at sea. Its
principle and method of operation, of
course, are entirely different. AS is
to be inferred, it consists of small
aircraft much like an ordinary BIZ
plane carrying large, high-explosive
torpedo which it is designed to drop
at any predetermined spot within a
certain radius. The projectile, which
is about twelve feet in length, forms
the body of the machine and is divided
into two compartments. The propel-
Ter is mounted at the front end of it,
while the shaft extends through the
entire torpedo to the rear compart-
ment where an 18-horsepower motor
is housed. The speed and course of
the machine are regulated by means of
a gyroscopic mechanism, while a tim
ing device Of some sort releases the
engine containing missile at the prop
er instant for it to strike it's target.

HEAD HUNTERS GETTING Bust
Natives Of Solomon island Take Ad.
vantage of War to Gather
Trophies.

At first sight there does not seem
to be a very close connection between
the war in Europe and head hunting
in the Solomon islands. Nevertheless.
the one arises from the other.
Previous to the outbreak of the
war, according to a Vancouver Worlds
Sydney IN. S. W. correspondent. Brit
ISL, and occasionally German war;
ships patrolled the islands and en-
deavored to keep down cannibalism
among the natives. who are largely Of
Papuan or Malaysian stock. How
ever, the requirements for the trans
port of troops led to the recall of the
British warships the happy head
hunter has been free to follow his own
devious courses.
In one raid made by mountain
tribe upon small village near the
coast no less than 26 heads were Sc
cured. No punishment followed be-
cause the whites were unable to or
ganize in time. AS a consequence
the raids are growing more dangerous,
and although as yet, no Europeans
have been attacked, planters have con-
stantly to keep on their guard.

production. The mares are intelligent
~ handled, do all the light work that
is required, and, in addition, produce
colts every year which rapidly develop
into marketable animals. The colts
are usually kept until four years of age
and the surplus sold for about 5000
each. Mr.. Doyle estimates the cost OF
raising a colt at about $25 per year.
There are good meadows and pas
lures on this farm. Every square foot
of the meadows and pastures is well
covered with nutritious grasses ana
elovers instead of broom sage, briars
and weeds. The land is thoroughly pre-
pared, MANFRED and sown in sapling
clover, orchard grass, timothy and
small amount of alfalfa. The mixture
usually consists of three pounds OF al
falfa, five pounds of timothy, eight
pounds of sapling clover and three
pounds of orchard grass to the acre.
The alfalfa seed is put in to gradually
inoculate the soil so he can SOW alfalfa
at any time, on any part OF the farm,
and be sure that the soil is inoculated.
From the above grass mixture three or
four tons of good hay is usually OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Doyle grows what he needs and
feeds what he grows. Only small
amount of ccttonseed meal is pur-
chased to feed his dairy cows. The av-
erage farmer in his section buys the
larger part of his feed. Many thou
sands of dollars are sent out of his
county annually for feedstuffs.
Rotation Practiced.
A rotation of crops, including legu-
minous crops, is practiced on his farm.
The corn is usually followed by wheat,
the wheat by peas or peanuts. The
corn is cut in September or October
and German clover is sown on a part
of the corn land. This clover can be
sewn On his farm as late as October

of blooming German clover are also

by the crops, or net earnings, for one
year or for five years. By devoting
the larger part Of the farm to clovers,
feeding the clovers to dairy cattle and
spreading manure over the land he
averages more than 20 bushels of
wheat per acre, and has averaged, in
good seasons, as high as 80 bushels.
He averages mere than so bushels Of
corn per acre, and has averaged as
high as rs bushels.
This farm raises framework stock
for home use and to sell. The colts
are raised to prevent the spending of
money for teamwork stock and to be
sure Of having enough horse power for
the most economical production Of
crops.
Can't Afford GeIdings.
Six head of work stock are kept on
the farm and two mares bring colts
each year. Mr. Doyle figures that he
cannot afford to keep all geldings and,
for this reason, keeps two brood mares
actively engaged in light work and colt

straw for bedding The straw is let
down into the feedroom between the
stable and the silo, there being no
other connection between the stable
and the storage room above. The only
objection to keeping bedding in such
a storage room is removed by having
it dropped into this separate feed
room, the door into the stable being
closed, thus keeping out all dust which
may be stirred up in handling the ma
terial. The special construction of the
floor overhead makes the sitting of
dust down from the storage room very
slight, and the air in the stable is
therefore kept in the best condition at
all times.
The chute used for the bedding is
also used to drop silage from the diff
ferent silo doors as required. All out
side doors are hung with special roller
tracks, so they open and shut very
easily and fasten with heavy iron fas-
teners, which may be operated from
either the inside or outside. These de-
tails have very desirable effect in re-
ducing all possible waste of time and
energy in the maintenance of the herd.
There have been~a great many de-
vices placed on the market during re-
cent years which aid the small dairy
man to carry on his business in the
best possible manner. With modern
methods helped out by these appliances
the dairying business has lost many OF
the disadvantages which it formerly
had to contend with. By installing his
dairy COWS in a separate stable which
is arranged to assist him in every way
in establishing systematic and SAM
tary method of conducting this branch
of his business the farmer OF today

and more to the attention of those who
have contributed to the rapid advance
of improved conditions in this business
during recent years. The new methods
have found basis for operation in al
most every community and the public
has been aroused to such point that
the dairyman who does not follow the
trend of the times is very likely to
have shrinking market for his prod
ucts. The days Of the old tumble
down dairy barn have passed and the
modern structure must pass the ap-
prevail of the critical age in which it is
erected.
One of the modern principles is
shown in the tendency, in some parts
of the country where farmers are do
ing special dairy work along sanitary
lines, to house the dairy COWS in such
a separate stable as is shown here.
The purpose of this practice is to
eliminate the dirt and dust occasioned
by handling of feed or other material
from the air in the stable. Clean air
is as important as clean feed or clean
floors. This purpose is further aided
by the ease with which the problem
of ventilation may be solved when the
herd is kept in, building by itself
The practice is an admirable one and
it should be given the hearty approval
of every man interested in improving
the conditions of his property. 1t may
be the thought of some that the ex-
pense involved in adding building for
the purpose of housing few dairy
cows is not compensated for by the re-
turns from the business. This is not
true in a great many cases, for the ex-
perience of many farmers, who, with
the help Of one man, are able to make
