THE GARDEN.
August 8 to IS.

Keep the tomato wipes on. the
stakes trimmed.
Save seeds of all plants possible.
They will be useful next year.
Celery will require some water
this month as the weather is dry.
1t pays to keep it growing till ready
to harvest.
Watch for insects on the melon
vines and aster plants. They must
be destroyed quickly or they will
destroy the plants.
Do not let sweet peas suffer for
want of water. Thoroughly soak the
ground and then cultivate 1t as soon
as dry enough.
Dahlias must have plenty Of water
when they come into bloom.
Late cabbage and celery need rich
land or must have fertilizers worked
into the soil.
Icicle and Charter radishes may
be sown now for fall use. They will
do well during the autumn.
Keep the canning machine going.
We must save all the products pos
sible for the next year.
Cut out the old canes of rasp-
berries and burn them as soon as
the fruit is picked. This will get rid
of many insects.

THE RIGHT WAY
TO SHOCK GRAIN.

1t is very unwlse to grow a good
crop of gain. cut it with a self binder
and then put 1t up in shocks that
permit 1t to spoil. 1t Is not uncom-
mon, however. to find field after field
OF grain OF good quality that has
been put up in poorly made shocks.
In many instances the shocks are
too small to stand up well. In 9TH
ers, the bundles have been carelessly
thrown together and the shock in
settling has drawn out of shape and
gone down with the heads of the
bundles resting on the ground. In n
great many cases Of shocks are left
uncapped. Under any Of these
circumstances the grain can not help
deteriorating in quality, II allowed to
stand in the shock for any length of
time.
In order to save grain a good sys-
tenn of shocking should be learned
and then conscientiously followed.
One Of the most satisfactory
shocks to build is what is known as
the twelve bundle, round shock. 1t
will answer for any kind of grain.

put in better condition for winter.
On farms where aftermath Is not
available and where the pastures are
bare. a good supplement Is offered In
an early-sown crop of fall rye. With
rye sown at the rate of two bushels
per acre on we'll prepared land there
Is a possibility OF excellent pasture
for the various classes of animals
Fall rye is best adapted to the needs
of sheep and they do exceptionally
well upon II. A thick growth of fall
rye Is also acceptable pasture for hogs
and gives the opportunity for a ma
terfal saving of grain. When well
grown, fall rye makes an excellent
fall pasture for cattle of any kind. 1t
Is especially useful in quickening the
milk flow from dairy cows. Best of
all, fall rye crop can be pastured by
sheep or cattle during the fall months
without in the least reducing the
yield OF grain from II the spring fol-
lowing. Anyone who Is short of pas
ture should pillow up a piece of land
and show II to fall rye by Aug. Is.
Where the rye crop Is not wanted
or rye seed Is not available, good fall
pasture can be provided by sowing
mixture of oats one and one-half
bushels, barley a bushel, and Dwarf
Essex rape two pounds per acre. This
mixture sown by Aug. Is will furnish
an excellent growth of rough forage
that Will be very acceptable when the
grass pastures are gone.

CALLS FOR MORE
WINTER WHEAT.

The winter wheat crop in Minne-
sofa Is slightly better than was ex-
pected. Both yield and quality pro-
mise well. According to the United
States government the average yield
of winter wheat for the last four
years was 17.3 bushels; of spring
wheat 1873 bushels, and of rye Is
bushels. The farm price per bushel
in 1915 for the three was 1882, $1.62,
and 1927 respectively. There is US
Ually some spread in price between
winter and spring wheat-more when
spring wheat is plentiful and less
when the demand for wheat is keen.
The crops division of the Minnesota
state committee of food production
and conservation in the light of pre-
vious results feels justified in urg-
ing the farmers of southern Mime
sofa to increase the acreage of win
ter wheat as it's production In their
part of the state is beyond the ex-
perimental stage.

FALL PASTURES ARE

It is important that livestock go

Good flesh and vitality gained during
the fall months lessons the cost of
carrying through the winter. 1t is
difficult to make stock do as well any
place as on good pastures and an at
tempt should be made to provide the
best of grazing facilities during the
fall months. In many instances the
regular pastures have been eaten bare
while the crops have been growing
and must be supplemented. II best
gains are to be made.
on most fields on North Dakota
farms there is an excellent growth of

RAPE IN CORN AS A
TANkAGE SUBSTITUTE.

To hog-oh corn is practical, but to
secure maximum returns, the corn
must be supplemented. OF tankage
at least three pounds are required to
each bushel of corn. II the field
yields only 80 bushels per acre this
means using Mt least 80 pounds of
tankage, costing from $3.50 to 1885.
Rape seeded in the corn g to 4
pounds per accc) before or just after
the last cultivation makes an excel
lent substitute for the tankags and
costs much less. At retail the eeed
now costs about 20 cents A pound,
but where one Is able to buy from
successful farmers elevators the
price is considerably less.
Seed rape Ia the corn wherever
the soil Is heavy enough to promise
a crop.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather, cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.

SEES SUCCESS
IN Cash PLAN
BOARD ADOPTED
Stickney Hopeful Defense
council Will Become
Real Force in State

Bismarck, N. D. Aug. s. - The
North Dakota defense council has
been hampered since it's organization
by a complete lack of funds, but
Pres. v. H. Stickney of Dickinson,
who was in the city yesterday, be-
lieves the plan of financing recent
~ adopted will work out, and that
by the last Of August the council
will have attained its stride.
War was declared after the North
Dakota legislature had adjourned.
Not a penny was appropriated by
the Fifteenth assembly for war work.
When the defense council of this
state was organized there was no
fund which 1t could draw on. All OF
the work ii has done to date has
been carried on $500 appropriated
by the emergency commission. The
states emergency fund is so small
that IL will not stand another nib
Bile, and the defense board has volun
tarily assumed the task of financing
the council the next eighteen months
through funds raised on personal
notes. About $1,000 will be required.
and DR.. Stickney is confident that
notes to that amount will be forth
coming. Governor Frazier has as
sured the council that the next legis-
lature will reimburse it for every
penny expended.
In Wisconsin, where the legislature
was in session when war was deClar-
ed, fund of $5.000,000 was
appropriated for the work OF the
defense council. AS a result, the
badger state has made a splendid
showing in patriotism. It's Liberty
Loan issue was Oversubscribed as
was It's quota for the Red Cross. It's
national guard was quickly recruit
ed up to war strength; it's registra-
ton was handled most satisfactorily,
and the drafting of men for the ma
tional army is progressing success
fully, all largely due to the cam
paign carried on by its defense Coun-
Gil. Vermont, New Hampshire and
other eastern states with a smaller
population than North Dakota's were
able to supply their defense coun-
ellis with appropriations of $4,000 to
$4,000.
In spite Of the lack of financial
support, the North Dakota council
has accomplished much. Local coun-
ellis have been organized in every
county and a ground work has been
laid for an energetic campaign to be
directed from the councils general
offices in the Bismarck federal build
ing.

Pointers on Farming

1t is built by setting up three pairs
Of bundles in row, preferably
starting with the center pair and
placing another pair on each end.
Two bundles on each side completes
the foundation for the shock. All OF
these bundles should lean slightly
toward a common center. The other
two bundles should be used for caps,
breaking them down we'll at the band
and placing them over the ridge OF
the shock which will run in the
direction of the three center pairs Of
bundles. The heads OF the first cap
bundle should be covered by the Sec
ond cap bundle. In this way only
one bundle of heads out Of the twelve
is exposed to the weather. Such a
shock when we'll built will preserve
grain almost as we'll as though 1t
were stacked.
