to be slightly less than that of last
year, when the income for county ex-
penditures was S135.454.i3.
The levy this year is made on an
assessed property valuation of s1s.-
34o,s10. Twelve months ago the

KILLING WILD ONION PLANTS
Secret of Vitality Lies in Bulb Which
terminates in FaII-Destroy
Pest by Flowing.

The secret of the vitality of the wild
onion lies in the two sorts of under
ground bulbs. Each plant produces
one large bulb which terminates in
the fall and four or five small ones
which start growth In the spring.
Late fall blowing, followed by early
spring blowing and planting the in
tested land to some clean cultivated
crop destroys the wild onion pest by
killing both sorts of bulbs as the
growth from them appears and before
they have had a chance TO multiply.
The fall blowing should be deep and
care should be taken to completely
bury all green tops of the onion. If
very much top growth has been made,
a harrow run before the pillow will IA
cilitate the thorough covering of the
tops.
Another interesting ard valuable
point about the wild onion is that the
spring bulbs rarely produce heads
consequently, If the infested land is
plowed in the fall, spring oat crop
practically free of onions can always
be secured. But for complete eradi-
cation of the onion, both fall and
spring blowing is necessary.

MAKES HANDY WRITING PAD
or Woman, Can Easily Be Made
by Amateur.

Here is q handy suggestion for q
birthday gift which should be highly
appreciated, for the gift will do for
either a man or woman. A portable
writing pad will prove quite useful to
the person who has no writing desk in
her room, and will be more than valu-
able To the transient person. The
beauty about this particular writing
pad is that it can be easily made by
the amateur.
First of all cut 15-inch circle from
stiff cardboard. Cut the circle in half,
laying the halves about an inch apart,
the straight or diameter edges facing
each other. Now cover each half with
two circular pieces of cretonne or
denim. You see, the space between
the cut edges will make it possible TO
fold the pad. The cretonne or denim
can be pasted 70 the pasteboari semi
circles or their edges can be whipped
together. 1t will be necessary 10 stitch
the material along the straight edges
of the half circles SO that the paste
board will not slip. On the inside Of
each semicircle stitch material 10 form
pockets fer envelopes, writing paper.

tied at the back with wide black rib
bon.
One of our favorite French actresses
is trying to make the "Polaire head
dress" popular again, but this style is
too remarkable for the taste of refined
women. At the same time the effect of
short curled hair Is, as l have just said,
in favor. In Paris they are making
lovely bands for the hair of seed pearls
intermingled with scroll work Of
silver filigree.
l have also seen plaques of silver
filigree fastened to bands of turquoise
blue velvet, to form hair ornament.
The style of headdress which we have
decided to call "the headache band" is
again creeping into favor. These bands
are really very pretty when correctly
arranged and when they are not too
large. But 1t is not every woman, or
girl, who knows how TO arrange band
of this genre effectively. 1t is not
enough TO pass length of ribbon
round the head and tie it-just any
where.

FALSE CABBAGE APHIS
Found in Injurious Numbers in
Fall of the Year.
Possibility Of Its Importance as Green
house Pest Sooner or Later Is
Evident-Insect Injuries by
Sucking Plant Juices.
(By ]. ] DAyISl

The false cabbage apais, which
closely resembles the cabbage aphis,
is to be found in injurious numbers
more often in the fall Of the year and
In large colonies on the undersides
Of the leaves of such crops as turnips
and radishes. In addition, il occurs
In greater or less abundance on cab
bage, kale, mustard and rape, as well

tard and shepherds purse. While it
seems to be primarily a pest of gar
den and field crops, the fact that it
, occurs on ten-week stock and rad
ishes In greenhouses makes the pos
sibility of its Importance as a green
house pest sooner or later evident.
This insect Injuries by sucking the
plant juices, usually weakening the
plant and causing the leaves to be
dwarfed or deforned. 1t is more pro-
life than any other species of plant
louise that has been sufficiently studied
for comparison, giving rise TO an av-
erage of II or Is generations annu-

an average of 90 young.

SENSIBLE RATION FOR HORSE
System Used by lumberman Keeps
Animals in Hardy, Healthy and
Vigorous Condition.

A gentleman engaged extensively In
the lumber business in the North has
a large number of horses which ne
feeds by q system which makes and
keeps them healthy, hardy and vigor-
Gus.
In feeding them he cuts the hay and
grinds the oats; the hay being well
soaked with water IA hours before it
is fed: A little bran is added to the
ground oats and this mixed meal is
then mixed with the hay.
The feed is given morning and night,
oats alone being fed at noon.
The ration per head a day is ten
pounds of the hay, ten pounds ground
oats and one pound of bran, with eight
pounds of dry oats fed at noon. Dur
ing seven years of such feeding the
lumberman has not lost q single horse,
while previous to that he often lost
one from some digestive disorder.
Horses on the farm would not re-
quire such heavy feeding, but the COM
bination of food and manner of feed
ing could be followed by farmers with
profit.

PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT
Plant Requires Abundance of Food
for Satisfactory Growins-Good
Seed Essential.

Wheat is n plant that responds very
readily TO good preparation of the SOIL
The plants require an abundance of
available plant food for satisfactory
growth. For this reason many thin
lands would give better results with
fertilizers.
Phosphoric acid has generally been
found to give good results on worn
soils. This is the constituent that
stimulates the production of grain.
But the use of fertilizer always re-
quires good preparation of the seed
bed. Wheat needs a very fine soil, the
finer the better, usually. To get 1t In

Good seeds are essential for strong
plants and good stand. Nothing but
heavy, clean seed should be sown.

TRIMMINGS.

Trimming, always of paramount i'm,
portance, is very interesting this au.
tumn and is as varied as the winds.
Here are some of it's striking phases /:
Worth uses ostrich for trimming
evening gowns and, of course, many
American dressmakers have followed
suit.
BrOcade is much used for trimming
afternoon and evening frocks.
Embroidery in Chinese and Japanese
style is much employed, especially for
blOuses and evening wraps.
Real lace is used again for trim
ming and will probably grow in favor.
We may see a return of Irish lace to
the place it held half a dozen years
ago.
Wool embroidery is much used on
frocks of serge, and silk and bead en-
hrOiderieS are also used.
A good deal of fur is used for trim
ming. 1t takes the form of hens and
wide bands on the skirt and of buttons
and cuffs on the bodice.

PROPER RIPENING OF CREAM

Until Added to Churn.

BY the ripening of cream is meant
the changes Ii undergoes from the
time of separation until it is added to
the churn. Upon these changes de-
ponds very largely the quality of but
ter as regards texture and flavor. The
temperature at which cream is held
determines the frmness or texture,
while the flavor is dependent upon the
by-products from the bacterial growth
The purpose of ripening cream is
fundamentally that of giving the but
ter the desired flavor and aroma, but
In addition lit increases the ease and
efficiency of churning. Cream is ripen-
ed in one of two ways:
First, it sours or ripens as result
of the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk and cream
or,
Second, it ripenS as result of &C

deau of cut jet is passed right round
the head and pressed we'll down on the

To add to the early Josephine effect
there is a little string of cut jet

made of seed pearls, transparency set,

My sketch shows a pretty couture
for a young girl. Here the hair is
made to look as though 1t had been
cut short and curled. This effect was
obtained by clever manipulation of
the long hair at the back and sides, the

curved hairpins.
