WHAT TO DO WITH THE FROST

just what to do with a badly FROST
ed corn crop is question that is puz-
cling many farmers in the northwest.
Those who have silos in which to put
it need not puzzle long over the ques.
tion. The best place for a frozen corn
crop is in the silo In no other way
can so nearly all Of the nutriment be
saved and fed to advantage. Those
who have no silos should choose what
will be, under their circumstances, the
least wasteful method Of handling the
crop. There are three or four options
as follows:
Cut and shock tie corn as soon rs
possible. When dry and before win
ter sets in, husk out the best ears and
feed the stover and immature ears to
cattle, sheep or horses. This plan OF
handling saves most Of the feed and
provides for a wise distribution Of
supplies. It requires, however, the
maximum amount of labor.
Let the corn mature on the hill as
thoroughly as it will. Pick or husk
what is worth saving as soon as 1t is
DRY enough TO keep; Lnen- turH SIOcA,
preferably cattle, into the field to
clean up the fodder and immature ears
This plan calls for the least possible
labor. but wastes some food.
Cut and shock at once in large
Shocks Haul and stack after freez
ing weather comes on, or feed from
. the shock as bundle corn. 1t is best
adapted to the needs Of cattle ane
, sheep, although horses NAV be fed lin
tied quantities. This pan saves al
of the feed and calls for but little ex
ira labor. However. it does not pro
vide grain feed if desired for specla
feeding through the winter.
Turn stock (catt'e. sheep, or hogs
or all three). into the field: at once +
eat down the stalks and consume tn
corn. Judgment must be used in &C
custominr the stock to such feed an
thew should be put on for only shcl
time each day at first. This pan WI
save the feed but does not provide
, si,pplv for the winter-Andrew Bos

HEALTH WORK FOR COUNTRY
CHILDREN


Health work for rural children is
commanding much attention in Mime
sofa counties. Four counties have en-
culosis, and babv-welfare work the
year through. These are Goodhue,
Ramsey, Renville and St. Louis. Com
menting unon this work, DR.. I. J. Muir.
phv Of The Minnesota Public Health
association, says: =
"More than half vi the children are
attending rural schools; surveys con-
Quoted by this association show that
country children are less healthy and
are handicapped by more physical de-
ffects than children Of the cities. For
the children in the cities nurses, medi.
cal dispensaries and dental clinics are
available. Every county in Minnesota
should provide at least part time
nurse for the rural schools. The coun-
.tv commissioners in several counties
allow from $500 to $4,000 for health
work the year through. In other coun-
ties from $500 to $1,000 is allowed for
the employment Of a, nurse for a few
months for an ANIMAL Inspections -
FARMERS uRGpD TO SAVE LIVE
STOCK
The farmers Of northern Minnesota
VINO on account of the drought are
short of roughage, are being urged by
the State F'eod Committee not to sell
their COWS and heifers unless it is all
solutelv necessary.
An appeal is being made to them, bv
the livestock, the markets and the
crops divisions of the State Food Com
mittee to keep the livestock because
the country needs it. and because the
animals will be worth more later than
thew are now.
While these divisions understand the
shortage Of the roughages, thew be-
ieve that much livestock can be saved
if the farmers will:
Cut all hay possible.
Save corn fodder. slower and straw. !
Sow winter rye for a grain crop ear
~. then use for fall and early spring
pastures.
Get hav and straw from other narts !;
of the state if need oe.
Feed with the utmost care to avoid
waste and if necessary borrow money
with which to buv feeds.
"A GOOD SUGGESTION

Growers association last year spent
100000 in advertising in thirty maya
zines. Several private concerns are
spending large sums for advertising
and all are getting results, yet some Of

and the drivers of other vehicles. bu' that New York conductor bore ms burden like a Christian anG gen : tleman and will doubtless be re- warded.
 BIT OF LONDON TRANSPLANTED
 l lunched at the Ritz one day last week Except for a good deal or au ditional Eorgeousness of gold ana mirrors and lights and warmth, l might have been back in London once more There was Lord Robert lnnes- Kerr in his smart guards uniform sur - rounded bv the usual bevy or fem mine charm: there was Mrs. oscar Lewisohn (Miss Edna May) sitting at a table with her husband ana q party of friends, while at my own table was Lady Chetwynd amaIlnsly pretty with a tall crowned hat of tur- ouoise blue and gold shading her gold en hair and blue eyes.
 Another echo of London life came to me on Sunday afternoon when Lady Chetwvnd and went to tea at Sacha Votichenko's wonderful studio in West Sixty seventh street. Sacha is a Rus sion musician who had a great vogue in London during the days when Mir. Asquith was still prime minister and Mrs. Asquith held her own artistic court in the historic drawing rooms of No. 10 Downing street. And now here in New York I find an echo of the same exotic atmosphere, the same blend of society and high Bohemia, the same air of somewhat decadent mystery and artistic beauty! Truly there is nothing new in this great and wonderful world except the war--and that has a horrid novelty that could not bear repetition.
 But this studio of Votichenko's in- terested me vastly. The dim lofty room with it's queer lights, it's shad- owy corners. it's suggestion of bizarre Russian elegance gave an impression of a hall set for some strange drama, Groups of people revealed themselves gradually as the eye became accus toned to the low toned illumination, and the ear became tuned to the strange music made by couple of Russians. One with shaggy hair and wild rather humorous. eyes played the piano, while beside him stood a blind man with glorious voice who sang song with words by Rabin- adroth Tagore (the Indian poet of which the burden was a chant on the joys of being "gloriously, superbly drunk!'
 And then out into little pool of light stepped a strange, fantastic fig- urea woman-in a quaint gown ot stiff black satin brocaded with a tiny pattern of red roses. On her head was a curious fan-shaped hat of spread ing feathers while great diamond rings dragged from her ears and on here hands were short grey gloves with frill of fur about the wrists, On the first finger of each hand outside the gloves she wore huge diamond rings And this was Tortola Valencia, the SuaniSh dancer I had seen her last in London and she reminded me of the fact, and once more did I feel that after all, though thousands of miles of water separate us, the old world and the new has it's interests and it's arts quite closely drawn together, and a bridge of time and space is, after ali very quickly crossed.

A Habit of fhe English

Harrison Rhodes in Jarper's Masa-
 zine.
 If we as a nation often seem te see the worst side of England, it is partly because England has singular sift for putting the worst foot forward The way you knew an Englishman, in the years before the war, was that he abused England. sterne's phrase that they order this thing better in France" grew to be typical of English thinking, if for France" you sub stitute anywhere abroad" The typ- teal Englishman often appeared 10 be anything but pro English. And the habit is hard to give up. Even dur ing the third winter of the war an English playwright thought in the mo- ment to bring out in New York bril- liant satiricaI comedy which proved If it proved anything-that fashion able wartime London is so hard and so immoral that the American mem bers of it have lost everything which could recommend them to their com patriots at home. And yet the gentle man who so seemed to throw mud at his England and his England's new ! ally had risked his life for them on the western front!

 One of the picturesque sights of Pet rograd is the women soldiers that one sees in considerable numbers. Those have seen seem to be about 21 or 22 years old. outside of Petrograd we talked with one girl soldier who had been wounded three times and was anxious to get back to the front. She was 20

The Nations Weakness

Bern Macfadden, in Physical Culture,
 Is it not about time for us to come to our senses? Can we not now begin to give the physical trainer his true rank? II is he who builds the human foun- dation. And is not the foundation of greter importance than the superstruc- ture? If the foundation is insecure, if it is improperly built, of what value is the superstructure?
 An architect gives the most careful consid eration to the building of the foundation of his house. He knows that If the foundation fails to stand the test the house will tumble in ruins. It is the same with the human house. It must be built to stay" Weakness in any part means that the body in it's entirety is affected.
 The human house must be strong It must be built of rugged material. 1t must be vigorous in its every part.
 And that science that appertains to
