Blue Raincoats.

To be sartorially correct on a rainy
day now, you must wear blue rain
coat. These coats, made of rubberized
silk, are in the exact shade of rain
coats worn by French officers. OF blue
also, are coats of pontine, waxed ma
terial that is perfectly waterproof and
has q reverse side Of silk or satin in
contrasting color. POntine coats are
slightly more expensive than ordinary
raincoats of rubberized silk. but they
are vastly smarter, for this material
is in great vogue and is ultra smart
just now. A coat of blue pontine with
a reverse Of white satin is in mannish
bOx-coat style with good flare below
the arms. Rows of silk stitching in
white and big white pearl buttons EN-
phasize the tailored effect, and the
white satin side Of the material is
turned back to show like a facing, in
collar and cuff.

LIVE STOCK AND LEGUMES

A ton Of average Iowa or Illinois soil
contains but a few pounds of actual
Fertility; that IS plant food material
Fhich is available or ever can become
available for the use Of crops. The
Semainder Is simply waste material
and cannot be used by plants as food.
When this fertility has once been ex-
haUsted, remember that it is gone for
ever and will not return except as it
is purchased.
The actual value of soil Is shown by
Us power to produce crops. This pro-
6uctiveness depends not only on the
kind of soil, but upon the condition
az It The soil must be well drained,
contain sufficient amount of vegeta-
hle matter or humuS and be well
worked, in order to be in proper physi-
cal condition to produce crops. These
conditions are brought about principal
y by tillage and crop rotation.
If it is possible then for the farmer
Go control the air circulation in the
soil, its water-hOlding capacity, the

is surely profitable for every farmer
TO give his land careful, personal
study so that the conditions in it are
the best for the production Of the

Productive Land.
On farms where live stock is kept,
the land is much more productive

without fail, the impoverishment of

To Avoid smnka

A simple way of avoiding the smoke
and gas which always pour into fbe

er or fireplace on a damp day is to put
in the wood and coal as usual, but be-
fore lighting them ignite handful of
paper or shavings placed on top of the
coal. This produces a current of hot

not be allowed to shrink, which it is
apt to do if shoes are taken from
moist feet and left in warm place.
If trees are used the shoes will keep
their shape. Wet shoes should never
be dried at a stove, or on a radiator
or near a heater Of any description
The effect of heat so applied is to dry
the oil out of the leather and cause
the shoes to crack.
Another thing not to do Is to let
shoes stand in a damp place, or in
not be allowed to become dry. 1t
should be kept soft, quite the same as
when it is in it's natural condition on
the animal. Natural animal oils
should be rubbed over the shoes occa-
siCnally. In many cases if one would
rub banana skin on the shoes it would
be sufficient. This not only cleans, bqt
keeps the leather soft. For brown
shoes this is especially good, as it
takes off all stains, and one using this
simple cleanser Is astonished at the
result.
The two principal things to be re-
membered regarding the care of shoes
are that the shoe trees should be
slipped in as soon as the shoes are
removed and that the leather should
be kept clean and soft.

word Of the best farmers in America
for many years. 1t is the only safe
system.
Living on the farm means more
than most Of us realize. Not just to
live there, but to make 1t a home.
Not just to grow corn, wheat and al
falfa, but for the benefits that may
come to our homes and to our chill

duce.
It does not make much difference
how much wheat we raise or how
much corn we grow, but it does make
tremendous difference what we do
with the profit that we get from the
corn and the other things that are
produced from the soil.
Farmer Was Power.
The pioneer American farmer Of
the nineteenth century WAS a power
in his day. Ee did we'll his work OF
clearing away the forests, establish
ing homes, building roads and settling
the wilderness. And if he did moi
cultivate and care for the soil as he
should have done, we cannot blame
him, because the need was not press

The care of the soil is the problem
