NEGLECT OF GOOD ROUGHAGE
Meat Production Must Be Put on
More Economical Basis-value
of Straw Overlooked.

The Importance of roughage as a
feed Is coming to be recognized. AS
long as grain was not high in price,
IT was rather Unfortunately SHOW
eled into live stock and much coarse
feed was allowed to go to waste.
Such II practice now, however, would
destroy all possibility Of profit In
feeding. While we are learning
through grim necessity to make full
use of roughage, it might be we'll to
learn the lesson so thoroughly that
we shall never forget it. Meat pro-
duction in this country must be put
ON more economical basis.
Millions of tons of straw are burned
every fall. Probably a third Of the
corn stalks grown are wasted. Straw
and stover with a little grain will
carry cattle through the winter. AL.
falfa hay can be the large part Of the
brood sow's winter feed with only a
small amount of corn. Why stuff her
with corn? Roughage Is money.

isfactory-Weeds Are Destroyed
and Soil PuIverIxed.

Repeated trials have shown that
early fall blowing gives much better
conditions for crop Of green the fol-
lowing year than late plowing gives.
While August Is dry, hct month and
other farm work presses 1t is advis-
able to do as much blowing as pos
sible. On clean land no further treat
ment Is needed. On weedy land the
August blowing should be followed
by occasional disking or narrowing,
or by replowing in October.
Such treatment destroys many of
the weeds and pulverizes the soil, so
that good supplies of plant food are
available during the next season. In
addition, 1t gives longer blowing
season and a chance to do better
work. Early blowing and good plow-
ing are important steps in getting bet

New York.-Theso are stirring times

The French gowns .are here. New
American gowns are not only exploit
ed, but tremendously admired and
approved. The effects Of those who
have taken the French silhouette and
built gowns in their own workrooms,
made of American materials, should
be commended In an entire chapter.
Some of the best houses In this
country have tried out experienced
designers and colorists in producing
several hundred gowns that are first
cousins to the French In that they
express the adopted Paris lines. Each
of the designers gives full tribute to
the fact that Paris has laid down the
laws for the season; but every de-
signer boasts with honest pride that
the clothes are the product Of Ameri-
can study and workmanship.
In every case, the houses that
showed these American gowns called
upon their experienced French work
ers to produce them, and the only
ones that were successful were the
gowns that had been given into the
hands Of those who had studied the
Paris methods with reverence and
earnestness. The result was that the
clientele of these houses saw extra

| ton of alluring colors and an excel

DRY PLACE IS RECOMMENDED
No Locality Where Crop viii Not Be

Treatment-Poor Storage viii
Impair Vitality.

tFrom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
The same day that seed corn Is
gathered from standing stalks as they
grow in the field the husked ears
should be put in n dry place where
there Is free circulation of air, and
so placed that the ears do not touch
one another.
This is the only safe way, accord
ing to the United States department
Of agriculture, which says that much
good seed has been ruined because 1t
was thought to be dry enough when
gathered. Many farmers think that
their autumns are so dry that these
precautions are not necessary, yet
there Is no locality where the corn
will not be bettered by thorough
drying treatment. If corn is left in
the husk it may sprout or mildew dur
ing warm wet weather, and it is more
likely to become infested with weevils.
Poor Storage Impairs Vitality.
The vitality of seed may be reduced
by leaving 1t in sack or in pile
for even n day after 1t has been gath
cred. During warm fall days, with
some moisture in the cobs and kernels,
the ears heat or mildew In q remark
ably short time.
The best and cheapest treatment i'm
mediately after the ears are gathered
and husked is to tie the ears singly on
binder Irvine at about eight-inch in
tervals, the Irvine being Topped about
the middle Of the ears so that they
hang balanced and horizontal. Ordi-
nary binder Irvine is strong enough
to support from 10 to 20 ears.

run and more convenient. A good

Red flickers through the color

chology that the colors of war should
be exploited while war Is on.
1t is better to be sane than foolish
when one approaches the subject of
red In clothes. The scarlet danger
sign should be put over all the coun-
tiers where red fabrics are placed, and
1t should be worn by the mannequin
who parades In red gown. 1t Is
the color of conflict; 1t is not the color
of peace. The woman who can wear
it well is thrice blessed, sartori-
ally speaking, and she is apart from
her neighbors, because she Is a rare

This season, however, all doubts
are dispersed by the superior tones
which the dyers have impaired to the

There is moonlight gray, which may
spell peace, but 1t is in close prox
unity to artillery gray, which stands
for death. There is the gray Of granite

is the gray Of New England see

gets from the glitter of cut steel.
