STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT

Just as the clergyman was about
to enter the pulpit to conduct the SER
vice, couple from a nearby town
presented themselves, making known
their anxiety to be married as quickly
as possible. The clergyman, an ex-
tremely methodical man, replied that
he could not oblige at that moment
but that Immediately upon the conclu-
sion of the service he would take pleas
ure in making them man and wife.
So, after some demurring, the cou-
pie seated themselves in the rear of
the church. When the minister had
finished his remarks he cleared his
throat and made the following an
nouncement:
"The parties who are to be Joined
in matrimony will present themselves
at the ehancel Immediately after the
singing of hymn 425, Mistaken Souls

SILLAGE FOR HORSES

During the recent Farmers Week
at the Missouri College of Agricul-
ture, E. H. Hughes, of the Department
of Animal Husbandry, discussed ex-
periments made to determine the pos
sibilities of using siIlage for horses.
He concludes that sillage may be fed
in limited quantities if care is exer-
cised, but calls attention to the fact
that the horse canno consume the
large quantities of roughness used by
the steer or COW, and that the amount
of sillage given to horses on full feed
must be limited. Silage is especially
useful in wintering mature horses or
mules which are not doing more than
ordinary work and are not expected
to become fat enough for the market.

Care of Sick

Care of Sick
The widespread prevalence of sick
ness throughout the country suggests
some simple rules for taking care Of
the sick. Not every person can have
well-trained nurse. The majority OF
patients must be taken care of by
members of the family. The follow
ing suggestions may be helpful
The sick room should contain little
furniture. All surplus rugs, draper
les and furnishings should be removed
This gives more space and makes dis
infection easier after the sickness is
over.
All cases of sickness, including
pneumonia and catarrhal infections,
do best in a cool, we'll ventilated
room. Ventilation without draft
should be provided for by means of
window boards or similar devices to
throw the air up toward the ceiling.
The patient should be kept clean
and quiet. A single thin garment,
such as night gown or nightshirt,
is all that is needed. The building up
of sick persons with plasters, rags and
wooden is bad from every standpoint.
Patients should not be annoyed by
having to ask for everything. At the
same time, they should not be asked
every few minutes whether they wish
something. The nurse, guided by the
physician, should know what the pa
tient needs and supply it at the pro-
per time.
Visiting is, as a rule, to be tabooed.
When conversation is necessary, it
should be in a moderate tone of voice
without excitement. Whispering is
generally worse than loud talking.
Food, prepared well and daintily,
should be brought to the patient at
the necessary time. The patient should
not be asked what he wishes to eat.
The sick person should not be an
noyed by hard-luck stories, either the
personal experience of the nurse or
of the neighbors.
The nurse should invariably obey
the instructions of the physician.
If the disease is one in which the
sputum carries the contagion, the spu-
tum should be promptly disinfected
by burning, if possible. Handker-
chiefs should either be burned at

Stock Parade Shows the
Value Of Good SireS

Probably no parade in the world
has ever represented so many prize
winnig and state and world record
animals bred by one educational in
stitution as that seen by Farmers
week visitors at the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Missouri
at Columbia last week.
The parade was to show that what
the College Of Agriculture has done
with few good animate, any individ-
ual breeder of moderate means may
do. The entire Hampshire flock, for
example, was bred from three Hamp-
shire ewes, and the Holstein herd, one
of the finest in the country, was de-
scended from three COWS purchased
for about $500 in 1902. This herd
now includes thirty-six cows that
could not be replaced for $4,000 and
that have produced surplus stock
which sold for $6,218 in cash, while
the milk more than supported the
herd.
The parade was led by Honorable,
the imported Percheron stallion--a
sire of many prize-winners, followed
by 16 other draft horses. Among
these was Josephine 1864 and three
of her foals which are owned by the
College of Agriculture. Three others
have been sold for $1,1O0.
Among the dairy cows was Grace
Briggs, probably the holder of the
worlds long-distance record. So far
as is known, no other COW has ever
equalled her production of nearly
10000 pounds of milk and 5000
pounds of butter in sixteen years that
she has been in milk. She was bred
by the dairy department of the col
lege,
With the exception of one animal,
all the Hereford cattle in the parade
were those raised on the University
farm. The larger part of the herd
is descended from two cows purchase
ed in 1904.
Among the sheep, the most striking
lesson was in the exhibit of the diff
ferent crosses of a medium priced,
pure-bred ram and grade western
ewes. The daughters and grand
daughters of the typical, ninety
pound western ewes looked so much
like the pure-bred sheep that in many
cases they could hardly be distin-
guished.
The entire parade was designed to
show the value of good sires on the
stock farm.

Habit Of Promptness.

Once you form habit of being
prompt to meet all your engagements,
you will find 1t just as easy to be
prompt as to be tardy. Work con.
scientiously until the habit is formed
and the whole of your life will be
the easier for 1t.
Occasionally, of course, with the
best of intentions delays occur that
cause us to keep others waiting. 1t
is always good plan, therefore, when
you are going to meet somebody in
strange place to arrange beforehand
that If you are detained you viii tele-
phone to some point to which the per-
son you are going to meet can tele-
phone-and SO you can let each other
know what has happened.

ton of standardized dress for wo-
men, is the idea followed by the de-
partment of home economics of the
University of Missouri at Columbia
in devising standardized garment.
The new dress is intended for all wo-
men on all occasions, variations COM
ing only in fabric and color.
The present style of woman's dress,
on competitive basis, produces an
enormous annual waste, both by FREE
quent changes and added material,
says Miss Ethel Ronzone, who design
ed the standardized dress. Women
spend too much time not only in Sc
lecting garments but in making over
those that are no longer appropriate
on account of changes in popular style.
Dress is woman's stock in trade, used
to show pecuniary standing and sex
attraction under present conditions,
Miss Ronzone says.
HYGIENE conditions are considered
as well as economy in the dress de-
signed by the instructor at M. U. In
design, it is two-piece garment, with
the skirt suspended by an undervest
to prevent compression at the waist.
The skirt is of four pieces, about two
and half to three yards around the
bottom and reaching within four and
a half to six inches of the floor. The
waist is modified form of the Rus
sian blouse, hanging straight with a
very loose belt or with the fullness
gathered in belt and the lower part
cut in the form of peplum. 1t is
simple and easy to make, and one can
be cut by any woman with a fair
knowledge of sewing, Miss Ronzone
says.
The standardized dress is not rad
ically unlike the prevailing styles in
appearance. Almost every girl in
the sewing and clothing classes has
made one or more of the standard
lied dresses and many of the girls and
all of the instructors wear them. 1t
is certain that the woman of the home
economics department cannot be read
lily recognized by their clothes.
