found too expensive for use in improv-
ing the farm roads. One or more of
the following will. however, usually
be found available and within the
means of the farmer for surfacing his
roads and paths: Gravel, mixtures of
sand and clay, cinders, brickbats from
old buildings, brick-yard waste and
quarry waste. The material selected
should, however, be hard enough to
withstand crushing under heavy loads
and possess sufficient binding power
to compact well and maintain a firm,
hard surface under all ordinary wealth
er conditions.
Drainage and good foundation are
the first considerations in improving
a road with a hard surface. The best
possible foundation is a good earth
road with low crown. Earth Shout
ders may be graded upon each side to
prevent the surfacing material from
spreading, as in the construction of an
ordinary macadam road. The materi-
al used for surfacing should be placed
in uniform layer or layers on this
foundation and should be given a suf-
Gent crown to shed the rain waters to
the sides. If road roller can be Sc
cured the material may be quickly con-
solidated, otherwise considerable time
will be required for it to be consoli-
dated by the traffic. During this proc
ess the read should receive frequent
attention with splitlog drag or other
means for smoothing the surface and
filling the ruts. On steep grades
where there would be a tendency for
the side bitches to wash, this can usu-
ally be overcome by providing out
let's and getting the water away from
the road before 1t accumulates in large
volume. On roads where wagons will
not be required to pass each other, a
width of from nine to twelve feet be-
tween bitches will usually be suffi-
cient. The surfaced portion neeC rare
ly exceed seven or eight feet. There
is no particular virtue in building a
farm road wider than is necessary to
answer the special traffic require
ments. The need or desirability of
moving occasionally extra wide or
heavy implements, such as certain har-
vesting machinery, over the roads
| should. however, not be lost sight Of.
A little foresight in the alignment of
bitches, in providing ample width of
gates, or of giving extra strength to
cuiverts, may save :. great deal of
both annoyance and delay during some
very busy period.

Everybody that is young enough,
and some persons who are not, ap-
pear to have adopted one of those
many styles in hairdressing patterned
after the Bobby" couture. The Gas
tie bob," made popular by the famous
dancer. requires a bare forehead with
the hair drawn back and bob at each
side.
The Bobby couture is youthful look
ing but sometimes unbecoming. Only
the possessor OF beautiful brow
looks we'll with 1t entirely uncovered
To get over this difficulty the wearing
of a narrow band of velvet or other
ribbon bound about the forehead has
come into vogue. Although not much
may be said in favor of this particular
style of hairdress SO far as becoming
ness is concerned, we may thank 1t
for compelling beautiful finish and
neatness in other styles.
The hair may be waved or curled,
or It may be dressed without either,
but whatever else it. is, fashion re-
quires that the couture shall be beau
tifully done, and finished looking.

hairdressing, the French twist. rolled

There are many varieties OF pota

sirable kind. In this country the white
potato. when light and dry. is pre-
ferred. II is especially suited for boil
ing, steaming and baking, also for
soups and purees. The yellow pota

The white and yellow varieties con
tain large percentage Of water. a
fair percentage OF starch, very small
percentage OF sugar and about one pei

eral matter that the potato owes lite
antiscorbutic properties.
Potatoes cooked in dry heat, as by
baking in the oven, roasting in ashes.
frying in deep fat, or steaming with.
out peeling are more pronounced and
savory than when cooked in water. But
the vegetables so cooked must be
served just as soon as they are done.
or else they will become soggy. On
the contrary, boiled potatoes may be
kept warm for an hour or more after
cooking without Ill results.
Potatoes should cook in half an hour
IL ordinary size. Large potatoes should
be given five minutes more. and small
ones two minutes less. These rules
apply to peeled, partly peeled or un-
peeled.
The potatoes should be covered with
boiling water and brought quickly to a
boil. After fifteen minutes add one
tablespoonful of salt to every twelve
potatoes. At the end of thirty minutes
drain off. To make them very white

ter, put the cover on, hold it down
firmly and give the pot a shake. Next
open the window and hold the uncov-
cred pot outside for few seconds, to
let the steam escape. Place the YES

When boiling potatoes in their skins
a narrow band of the skin should be
removed from the center of the vege-

be pricked before putting into the
oven to allow the gases to escape. The
oven should be very hot, as number

Small sweet potatoes will bake in
half an hour, large ones an hour or
more. Those who like them moist and
sweet may bake them two hours.

If the pretty suit for spring, which

In making a hotbed the gardener

time the bed is made. A hotbed has
artificial bottom heat while a cold
frame does not. This heat may be
supplied in a number of ways but the
farmer will find stable manure from
the horse stable the most satisfactory
for heating.
The common type of hotbed frame
is made feet wide, IL feet long with
IL and 6-inch sides respectively. The
depth OF the frame varies according
to the plants to be grown. Two by
3-inch cross bars are placed at inter-
walls to support sash and give the
frame firmness. II frames are to be
used each year. it is advisable to make
them of good pinch material with
bolted parts so they can be readily
taken apart and stored until needed.
Standard hotbed sash are made feet
by 6 feet. Thus 12-foot frame re-
quires four sash.
The manure used should be made
uniform in composition by forking it
over several times before placing it
in the pit. Hotbeds which are in
tended to last for two months should
have from two to three feet of ma
nure. The longer the heat required
the more manure should the bed con-
tain.
A layer of coarse material is first
placed in the bottom Of the pit to
keep the manure from coming in con-
tact with the ground. When fermen-
tation has developed sufficiently in the
manure, place it in the pit, tramping
1t firmly. A layer of leaf mold or
some coarse material is then placed
on top of the manure. Soil is then
placed to a depth according to the
requirement of plants to be grown.
An average depth of soil is six inches.

is admirable because 1t corresponds
with the skirt facing, as it should.
The plain, wide belt is of the serge
also and the sleeves are finished with
cuffs of it.
The sailor collar is made of the tae-
feta and stands rather high at the
back. 1t is protected by white or
candle collar with scalloped edges,
and this is decorated with black hem
stitching, another of the new-style
features for spring. In the coat, as
in the skirt, most of the fullness is
gathered in at the sides at the waist
line, where 1t is apparently confined
by the belt.
1t would not be easy to find more
dependable style in spring suit than
this. 1t is one of many in which two
materials are combined, but it is not
always done with such nice balance.
The silk and cloth are of the same
shade and usually in dark colors.
Less practical but very elegant suits
are made in light gray and in tan

an abundance of succulent foods dur

CORN ADAPTED TO MONTANA

Fresh from the press and ready
to be mailed to all the corn growing
districts of the state, Circular So,
entitled Corn in Montana" by Prof.
Alfred Atkinson and NJ. T.. Wilson,
state leader OF county agriculturists
III Montana, promises to be Of great
practical interest to the farmers of
the state. The circular is made up
OF extracts from bulletin No. 107,
which gives the history Of the de-
velopmelt Of corn and its varieties
i'll the northwest. and which will be
sent to any person on request. The
profUsely illustrated circular deals
klth the adaptations Of corn in Mon
tana. the results OF extensive corn
growing experiments conducted at
The various experiment. stations, and
gives the origin, distribution and
characteristics OF five groups and
tWenty-seven varieties OF corn, and
their adaptability to the different
sections Of the state.
The fifty-four pages OF the circu
lar emphasizes that corn is the hub
Of a system Of FARMING in the Unit
Cd States east of the Rockies around
which circle all the economic and
social benefits of a diversified system
OF agriculture. This condition is
equally true in the northwest under
systems of dry FARMING. Investi-
cations reveals that corn has long
been grown in Montana's climate by
the Indians, and the varieties grown
by them suggest adaptable varieties
which might be bred up to be Of
great economic Importance in this
state. The limiting factors in corn
production in Montana are heat
units and moisture. 1t is a fact,
however, that much Of the state is
admirably suited to the cultivation
Of corn. Distinctive types OF corn
differing from corn belt corns in
amount OF leaf, height and stalk
and height and size of ear, and de-
handing different methods of har-
vesting from those ordinarily en-
ployed in the corn belt have been
found for the various corn growing
sections of the state. Nothing should
stand in the way Of rapid develop
ment of the corn growing industry
in Montana.
