There are times when II is easier to

You will say, probably, that the or

little time TO ride around on errands
of pleasure and that If his errand is
one Of business, he'd better hook up a
wagon or carriage and either haul
something to town or bring something

Also that the telephone and the ru-

necessity OF going on errands. Well,

STRAW FOR FERTILITY
Practice Of Burning Piles After
ThreShing Is Wasteful.
Soils In Many Sections Would Be
Greatly Benefited by Addition Of
FertllIzlno Constituents
Present In Stalks.

From the time the prairies were first
cultivated up to year or SO ago 1t
was the general custom to burn the
piles of straw which dotted the fields
after the fall threshing. In fact, 1t Is
yet very common practice and very
wasteful one.
II Is an established fact that Or
ganic matter is essential for soil fer
tility. No one disputes the fact that
our prairie soils are already rich In
this essential, but in many sections the
soils would be greatly benefited by
the addition Of the fertilizing constitu-
ents which are present in the straw.
Hopkins Of Illinois gives the value
of oat straw for manurial purposes at
$3.50 per ton. Wheat straw is valued
at $25S per ton. The same relative
comparison gives the value of fresh
farm manure at 1922 and barnyard
manure at 1924 per ton. Anyone who
destroys ton of wheat or oat straw,
therefore, destroys more fertilizing
elements than are contained In the
average farmyard manure.
The best method of handling straw
is to feed it to stock and return the
manure to the land. Thus 1t serves
a double purpose-fodder and manure.
When fed to horses or cattle on
maintenance ration or those doing
comparatively little work, oat straw
b considered by Hoard's Dairyman to
be from one-half to two-thlrds the
value of good clover and timothy hay.
The manure from one ton of wheat
straw is worth $1.52, and that from
ton Of oat straw is worth 1924. Thus
the wastefulness of burning straw is
evident.
When sufficient live stock Is not
kept, however, to use all of the straw
in this way, the straw can be returned
directly to the land. 1t may be spread
and plowed under or used as top
dressing on grain or pasture.

They could use this animal for rid.
Ing, driving, and in the busy season
they would be mighty glad to let him
help In hay harvest, working the ted
der or cleaner and also let him prove
his usefulness in some valuable work
around the garden.
Everybody on the farm likes a horse
back ride occasionally. Even the boss
himself, although he may be nearing
the three-score-and-ten mark, feels
like a boy if he can mount q horse
and ride to see a neighbor.
The good wife, many times, would
come back from horseback ride feel
ing like the young girl she was, when
to ride to school, church, or sociable
was something to talk about and look
forward to with pleasure.
Automobiles are good In their way,
so are wagons, carryalls, Surveys, bug
gies, each and everyone Of them In
their place. Traction engines, steam
plows and al. up-t0-date things have
thex place in the great movement Of
agriculture. Every modern conven-
fence or contrivance win no doubt con-
tribute Its share of usefulness to the
general welfare of the farmer, but
just let me say that there are thou
sands Of farmers who will be con-
fronted with the fact that some of the
children want to go to the city for a
change, at least, leaving out pecuniary
advantages.
If a good cheap saddle-horse or pony
win make them love farm life better,
don't begrudge the small price neces.
sary to secure one.

HAVE LIVE STOCK INSURANCE
Movement First Appeared Along the
Atlantic Seaboard and Is Rap
idly Moving Westward.

CBy ]. o. RANKIN, Missouri College OF
Agriculture.)
Mutual live stock insurance was the
first form Of agricultural cooperation
to develop In this country and Ia some
others. 1t appeared along the Atlantic
seaboard but has moved steadily west
ward until 1t is found in practically
every part of the country. The mere
fact that 1t is SO prevalent is pretty
good proof that it is needed, but II
is not nearly so urgently needed in this
country yet as 1t Is In Europe, where
1t has reached a very much greater
development that has many lessons for
us. Many a man In Europe would
be left destitute or at least embar-
raised for life by the loss of a horse
or COW not covered by insurance. Many
a man who prefers to buy one good
COW would buy two poorer ones for
fear that one good one would die and
he would lose all he had II he could
not protect himself by live stock In
surance. In England he may insure
not only the COW but practically every
thing else on the farm from the labor
er in the field to the bees in the hive.
Conditions in this country are every
year becoming more and more like
those across the water which demand
such great development Of live stock
insurance. Free farm land is no long
er of very good quality, and soon the
government will have none at all.
Competition win be keener and keen
er, and the struggle will no longer be
to amass farm-made fortune, but
only to make living and keep what
we already have, at least for most
of u.s.. Under such circumstances live
stock insurance, now desirable thing,
will become absolutely necessary and
each man will have to decide whether
to join mutual company or patronize
commercial company.

Pretty Cap for Christmas

Boudoir or breakfast caps are among
the pretty Injuries that women delight
In and every year at holiday time they
flourish anew. It seems that they are
more captivating than ever this year
and II is certain they were never shown
In so great variety of designs. There
is no end to the original and beautiful
combinations Of ribbon and lace and
tiny flowers, made Of ribbon or chif-
fon, that go to make up this most
fanciful headwear.
Two Of the prettiest Of the new caps
are shown in the picture and 1t is evil
dent that they are easy to make. At
the top a cream-colored, silk lace is
made into a small puff which is mere
ly a circular piece gathered about the
edge to fit over the top Of the head. A
frill Of the same lace is sewed to the
puff. Over this little lace cap a shaped
piece made Of ribbon or silk or satin
is slipped. It is made of two pieces
wide at the top and narrowing to a
bride under the chin, and is lined
with silk. A narrow, corded piping
finishes the edges, set between the out

paper. At little distance they cannot
be told from the gorgeous real flower.
At the right a small dark willow
basket bears asparagus fern and a half
blown rose, together with two buds
made Of satin ribbon. This is the most
elegant of artificial flowers for the
table.
A basket made of rose petals and
a lace paper dolly is shown at the
bottom Of the picture. The foundation
is of pasteboard, with a handle Of
green silk-covered wire. The petals,
which may be of either satin ribbon
or paper, are glued to the foundation,
which Is a circular piece of cardboard.
Millinery rose foliage and two buds
either Of paper or satin ribbon trail
over the handle. The heart of every
housekeeper will rejoice over such
gifts as these.

GROWING DASHEEN IN SOUTHERN STATES

The dasheen Is a vegetable which
the United States department of agri-
culture ha, recently introduced into
this country, and which is already be-
Ing grown quite extensively In some
Of the southern states.
This vegetable is a tuber that may
be made a very satisfactory substitute
Tor the Irish potato, yet different
enough from 1t to go on Its own mer-
It's; and that the plant producing the
tuber resembles a lily In manner and
growth and shape of leaves and stalks.
The agricultural department bulletin
telling about the dasleen states that 1t
belongs to The botanical family Of Ara
seae, to which also belong the Gala,
the Indlan-turnlp and caladlum, or ele-
phant's-ear.

QUALITY is MOST ESSENTIAL
Greatest Profit Can Be Expected Only
From Live Stock Of the Very
Highest Grade.
(By q. A. TRowBRIDGE.)


Quality becomes more essential to
profit in live stock farming each sea-
son. When labor, land, and feed were
cheap 1t was possible to realize a prof
1t on live stock of an inferior grade,
but with the present high cost of these
production factors and a constant dis
elimination on the market against the
SCRUB" 1t has become evident that
the greatest profit can be expected only
from live stock Of good quality. 1t
may be possible for the feeder or deal
er to make a profit on inferior live
stock If he is able to buy it sufficiently
cheap and sell quickly, but usually
someone has not realized the greatest
possible profit when ''scrub" goes to
market. If it is not the feeder, 1t is
the man who produced the animal.

utilized under the name of malanga.
A plant that furnishes the daily
food of a people must be one of no
little value. But 1t is yet a question
to what extent the food value of this
plant will be utilized In the United
States, as yet comparatively few peo-
pie are personally acquainted with 1t,
and generally 1t may be said to be al
most unknown In most localities Of the
North.
But for large portions Of the South
1t is probable that this crop could be
made a much more successful and
profitable one than Irish potatoes. For
family use it could nearly or quite
substitute for the potato. The culls
and surplus-if no market is found for
them-can be fed to live stock, pigs,
cows, or poultry. Pigs especially have
been found to thrive on dasheen with
almost no other food, ration largely

The cap below is made Of two
wheels Of fine net Joined by gathered
band of satin ribbon, about five inches
wide. The wheels are made of straight
strips Of net shirred together and edged
with narrow val lace. This lace ex-
tends around the cap.
Baby ribbon is gathered and set
about the wheels where the strips of
net join and inside the lace edging. At
the back bow with long loops and

SWEET CLOVER is VALUABLE
One Of Greatest Soil lmprovers and

Seed for Market.

Sweet clover, once regarded as a
weed, is worth $1,000. 100000 to South
Dakota, because II Is one of the great

omist at the state college. He says:
Sweet clover helps to maintain the
nitrogen supply In the soil; 1t makes
good hay, and II produces large
amount Of valuable seed, for which
there is ready market. There is no
danger whatever Of its becoming a
field weed, which has been demon
strated by experiments where 1t Is
