 FACTS
FEED COWS WHILE MILKING?
Much Depends on Temperament of An- imaI and Person Who Milks and
 Attends to Her.

There has been some little discus- sion recently in the various farm pa pers on the matter of whether it is ad- visible to feed cows while milking. It would seem to me that little advantage can be gained from such practice and there are several noteworthy objec- tionS to it, says a writer in an ex- change. Of course, much depends on the temperament of the COW, and the person who milks and cares for her, There are cows with quiet disposi- tion and not of hoggish nature that will stand quietly while being milked. In fact few cows will not stand more quietly during the milking process if they have nothing else to attract their attention. If the COW is standing quiet- ly she sees the milker when he ap- breaches and steps in beside her. She also gives down her milk more freely than when she is attempting to eat at the same time.
 On the other hand, if a COW has her head down in the manager she will probably not see the milker when he approaches, and the first intimation she has of his presence is when he speaks to, or touches her, and if she is of nervous disposition she will probably jump back and then continue to annoy him during the entire process of milking.

PROPER QUARTERS FOR COWS
Suitable Place Must Be Furnished in Order to Get Best Results
 Provide Ventilation.

To give best results milch COWS should be provided with suitable quar- ters for feeding and milking. Stalls should be provided for each COW and feed boxes and manager racks should be So arranged that they will be of easy access for cleaning at least once every day. Twenty-Five dollars, plus the labor, Should fit any ordinary barn with stalls for five cows and the nee essary feed boxes, managers and gut terS.
 Plenty of ventilation is necessary, because the COW is somewhat like the human being, she thrives best where there is plenty of fresh air available. Provision should be made to take care of the manure. This can be done by providing plenty of bedding in box stalls, or, if stanchions are used, by having water-tight gutters about 14 inches wide and 10 inches deep run ming full length of the stable.

 Another thing that they are doing will help the hospital units. All the old scraps of linen, worn-out table linen or bed linen. is cut up into small pieces for making lint. These pieces are laid on board or kitchen table and scraped with a knife blade, con- verting them into lint Small knives such as are used for pairing vegetables or pocket knives, are used for the work. The linen must, of course, be perfectly clean.
 Other clean rags of white cotton are cut up into small strips to be used tC stuff pillows. The strips are less thar an inch wide, and may be frayed along the edges. They vary in length and are used as substitute for feathers These are all things that even the smallest children can do. AS soon as they become expert enough at knitting there are other things to be made be- sides squares and scarfs-such as eye banda a@eS

In the city Schoolchldren are prov selves, doing good work in which they are enthusiastic, and turning out quan- titles of comforts for the soldiers. The supplies they make are gathered up by agents of the Red Cross. so that the responsibility of the teachers ends with the delivery of these supplies.
 Boys and girls along with firemen and policemen and about everybody else with an hour to spare occasion ally are knitting. The children are taught to knit small squares of yarn, to be set together to make coverlets for the Belgians, or whoever else the Red Cross may discover pinched by the cold, where coal is scarce. Odds and ends of yarn do for these squares, and even the smaller children learn to -lr" Ike tbem ~i"siy. The youngsters like the work, and their teachers show them how to least on" the number of articles required, which varies q little, according to the thickness of the yarn. They are taught to make the squares, with even and exact stitches, and also how to take it off the needle when finished. The practice is good for them, for they must undo the work if stitch is dropped. and knit it over again. In some households children

 The poles for the peanut stacks should be three or four inches in diam eter and seven to eight feet long. These poles or stakes are set into the ground 12 to IS inches and are well tamped to make them firm.
 Before starting the stack two pieces of lath, scrap lumber, or sapling cut from the woods, about IS inches in length, are nailed at right angles to in order to prevent the peanuts coming in direct contact with the soil. In starting to build the stack few vines are laid across these pieces and the stack is then built Np by successive layers of vines, the pods being kept well to the center against the stake and the tops to the outside. The stems should have sufficient outward slope to shed water. Occasionally a few vines should he hung around the stake in order to tie the stack to- gether. By this method the pods will be near the center and around the stake, where there is an upward cir culation of air and general protection, When the stack has reached the de- sired height, bunch of vines is rolled together and pressed down over the point of the stake to form top, or

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture
 If Southern growers are to save the largest peanut crop the country ever has grown, now ready for harvest, the best possible methods of harvesting, picking and storing the crop must be employed. Many farmers are growing peanuts this year for the first time. Mistakes in harvesting may result in serious losses. The methods of gath ering and storing described here are in use by the most successful growers.
 Harvesting.
 As no definite rule can be given by which to determine when peanuts are ready to dig, each grower must depend largely upon his own judgment. In the lower South, where frosts do not occur until quite late, the vines assume a yellowiSh color when the peanuts are mature. Peanuts should be dug when the vines have the greatest nurl- Der of mature pods. Beginners in pea nut growing should be careful not to dig too soon, as immature nuts shrivei and are light in weight when cured. A few early formed peas are likely to sprout before digging time, especially if there is period of rainy weather about the time the peanuts are matur' ing, but usually the loss by sprouting is not sufficient to justify premature harvesting
 Peanuts ordinarily are plowed from the ground with a turnplow which has the moldboard removed to prevent throwing dirt over the vines. This blow should be regulated by means of a wheel attached to the beam so that the peanut root can be cut off at any de- sired depth. The machine potato dig ger does very satisfactory work and will dig eight to ten acres day. This machine removes the peanuts from the ground and also shakes off the soil. leaving the vines lying upon the surface. As the machine digger is rather expensive it's use is practicable only where a considerable acreage of peanuts is to be dug
 After the peanuts are dug, a gang of workmen shake the vines free from the soil and throw them In small punches. Where the machine digger is used, this shaking is unnecessary, as the machine frees the peanuts from the soil. The vines are left spread on the ground or in small punches for three or four. hours and are then placed in small stacks around pole to cure. If peanuts are allowed to lie exposed for considerable time after

REFLECTING CHINESE INsPiRAT ioN

It managed to help it's designers to win the iaurels for originality and beauty of design in apparel for all hours of the day and evening and for all occasions that happen in the lives of women of to- day.
 A glove finish material of wool, which may have been velours. was used to make the straight one-piece froc< without waist line and the Chinese coat that constitutes this suit. One might question the origin of the style in the dress but China is proclaimed by every line of the coat. The lining of tan-colored satin makes q facing for the arms and sleeves with edges finished with buttonhole stitches iii black yarn. An overcoat stitch of the same defines all the seams in the frock and outlines the pockets on the coat. They have pointed flaps buttonhole stitched about the edge and fastened down with small fat brown button.

CREAM OF HIGH PERCENTAGE
Keeps in Good Condition Longer Than Thinner Artiele-Easier Cooled
 and Handled.

Cream that tests from 35 to 40 per cent will keep in good condition long CT, is more easily cooled, handled, costs less to transport, leaves more skim-milk on the farm than thinner cream. On the other hand, with heavier cream there is a mechanical loss by sticking to the sides of utensils when handling, and a quantity may get into the milk while separating.

Gray is coming in for leuch atten- ton in the new fashions. It is color that must be worn with care-but. then, that is true of any color if one would wear it to advantage. It is gen erally becoming to the young girl or to the woman with clear coloring, but even on other types it may be worn successfully if good deal of white is used at the throat and if color is in troduced only in the way of some bril- liant fewc or other ornament.
