DAIRY
PROPER TIME TO FILL SIL0
Begin Operation Soon as Corn Has
Reached Right Stage for Fod-
der-Let the Siage Settle.

(By ]. G. WATSON, Missouri Expert
ment Station)
Don't wait too long to fill the Silo.
Begin as soon as the corn is right for
fodder The kernels should be in the
dough stage but denied and the lower
leaves turning brown. Let the corn
mature as much as possible without
becoming so dry that water must be
added to make the silage pack solidly
and ferment properly.
Cut into pieces half to threefourths
of an inch long to make them pack
well and to prevent waste in feeding.
This takes more power but is worth
1t. Pack well with concrete hampers,
keeping the silage higher at the wall
than in the center.
Fill slowly, II possible letting the
silage settle a day or so at time.
This makes 1t keep better and in
creases the amount the silo will hold
This amount may be still further in
creased by using woven wire to hold
more silage at the top. 1t will grad
ually settle into the silo but tends to
spoil while doing so. II more silage
Is added after such settling, take out
the spoiled layer at the top.
II caught by frost, the corn for sill
age should be cut before it dries out
After that, add water The corn may
even be shocked to put in at a more
convenient time or to refill the silo
IL enough water is added.
The experiment station has pub
lished bulletins on shock corn for
silage; silo building; and silage for
horses, mules and steers.

THIN MUSLIN AND NET POPULAR.
BY ANNE RITTENEoUSE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. July 3--France may
Suggest the ideas for the best muslin
clothes suitable to the American eli
mate, but her prices for these are pro-
hibitive to all but the ultra-rich.
Over here the opposite is true. We
can adopt the French ideas of cut and
combination of colors and create &C
eeptabie muslin frocks at such small
prices that every woman can use them
freely TO Offset the sun
1t is not easy to find out just why
Paris holds her thin summer frocks at
such exorbitant prices. The plea that
they are made by hand has no force or
excuse behind 1t: the French make
everything by hand that is built of
thin fabric. and as the price for such
work is only franc day to the
workers, and as there are thousands
who are glad to take it at that price.
one cannot see why $3.50 should be
asked for muslin frock.
The American importers admit that
thev nav more than that for p:n-striped
n1uslins that are only suitable for the
American womans house in the morn
ing or for the porch of a country club
Evidently Paris ranks such clothes
above satin silk. chiffon or serge. The
house that will make an admirable
serge coat suit for $40 will ask s176
for a lingerie frock. and will point to
a splash of embroidery as an excuse
for the price.

Watermelon Dainties.

Smart hostesses serve watermelon as
an appetizer. 1t is cut in small balls,
chilled on the Ice, piled in long-stem-
med glasses. sprinkled with lemon
Juice and powdered sugar and served
very cold.
Watermelon preserves are well liked
by many persons as a winter condi-
ment. They utilize the rind of the
melon. and are. therefore. very cheap
ly made delicacy. To make them. re-
move the hard. green skin from the
rind so that the white part. about
quarter of an inch thick remains. Cut
this into even sized squares. In the
bottom of a porcelain preserving kettle
spread a layer of the rind, sprinkle
with little powdered alum and cover
with layer of grape leaves that have
been washed. Fill the kettle in this
way. using altogether not more than a
half teaSpoonful of alum. Cover with
hot water and simmer for two hours.
Then drain. cover again with hot water,
add two two-inch lengths of green gin
ger and simmer for three hours. Weigh
strip of a pound and a quarter of
graduated sugar and pint of water
that is, two and a half cupfuls to two
cupfuls Of water. Boil this strip for
ten minutes. skim. put in the pieces of
rind. simmer until tender, and. while
very hot, place the rind in glass jars
Boil the strip down until it is very
thick. Fill up the Jars and seal while
hot.
Watermelon should always be very
ripe and it should be served very cold.
Perhaps the best way to serve it is in
wedge-shaped pieces; for in this way
everybody gets a section containing
both center and the outside portion.
Delicious fruit combinations can be
made with watermelon as one Of the
ingredients Cut the watermelon,
which has been thoroughly chilled. IN
dice, and sprinkle very lightly with
sugar and lemon juice. Then mix.
either with diced pears or peaches. and
serve for dessert. A little port or
sherry can be used with this dessert If
desired.
