need only a light silage ration with
alfalfa hay and corn fodder. Some
times a feed of bright straw is relished
by the ewes.
Sheep kept In muddy yards for long
periods are almost sure to get sore
feet. Give them dry footing and there
will be no trouble.
Raising Lambs Profitable.
Select u bunch Of rugged mutton

March II there is plenty of good feed
for the ewes and warm shelter for the
lambs. Otherwise the lambs had bet
ter not arrive until later when the
weather Is warmer and the eve "a
get some grass to Increase their flow
Of milk.
Some farmers have the lambs born
in January or February and fatten
them for earlier markets. This neces-
sitates much care. abundant feed and
warm shelter, but 1t is a profitable
business when well managed.
When the lambs are ten days old
they will begin eating grain and hay.
Fix a creep for them so they can have
a trough apart from their mothers,
give them some wheat bran and
cracked corn and continue to feed
them all they will eat while on pas
ture, II they are to be fattened and
sold three or four months old. The
best time to sell the lambs Is before
they are n year old.
Some good farmers allow the ewes
and lambs to Craze during the sum
mer with little or no grain, wcan the
lambs in August and turn them into
| the standing corn. There Is "A place
where a lamb will fatten faster than
In a cornfield eating grass and weeds
and weed seeds and the lower blades Of
corn.
Lambs should not be kept on old
pastures that have been grazed by old
or sheep. There is danger Of stom-
ach worms. However, IL tobacco dust
or stems are kept before the sheep at
all times, they will not be troubled
with internal parasites.
Three hundred farmers reports give
$3.50 as the average cost for keeping
a eve and lamb, as against SlO.15 as
the average return In wool.
Nearly all good sheep men keep n
few of the best ewes each year to add
to the eve flock and take the place of
the older and discarded ewes.

MANY HATS OF WASH FABRICS
Bingham Used by Miliiners In Addition
to Such Materials a. Linen,
Satin and Crepe.

Hats of all kinds are fascinating
this summer. Big and little, dressy
and informal, they seem to have re-
ceived especially delightful treatment.
and 1t Is a homely woman who cannot
this season find a hat in which she
will look well.
One of the most interesting groups
in the general melange of charming
things Is that Of the fabric hats. To
be sure we've always had them-hats
Of linen, hats Of satin, hats of crepe.
ETC., but we've never had such a wealth
of them and surely neve were they as
n whole so delectable. And then
we've never made such q feature of
wash fabrics in hatdom. writes a fash
ion authority.
One is even safe In saying that the
mllliners are using wash fabrics this
season that have not before been used
for grownups. There are those plaid
Bingham hats, for example. When
have we seen their like beforee And
yet now that we have them we won

ings that they are, are so late In think

MILKING SH0RTH0RN
D%UAL.PURP0SE COWS
Superior to Farmer Who Desires
Good Mess Of Milk Along
With Ability to Fatten.

Milking Shorthorns nre identical
with the beef Shorthorn so far ms
color is concerned. They vary all the
way from red to white, with numer-
Gus roans. The milking Shorthorn
usually presents the rather rectangu-
lar shape of the beef Shorthorn, but
is somewhat inclined to be more an
gular.
The milking Shorthorn is superior
or inferior to the other dairy breeds
accordingly as dairy performance Is
of greater or less importance. I've
breed, or more correctly strain. is not
as highly developed as a mllch AMI
mai as are the specialized dairy
breeds. 1t properly fills the place Of
u dual-purpose cow, or a COW for the
farmer who desires a good mess OF
milk along with ability to fatten
readily and produce q good market
able carcass.
The farm condition under which a
breed must be kept, the market fnciii'
ties, the likes and dlslikes Of the
owner, etc, are all factors that dc
termine the desirability or undeslra'
bllity of any particular breed. Certain
conditions demand one breed and 9th
ers are best for another.

YOUNG GIRLS DAY
Dressmakers Devoting
Much Attention to Her Needs.
New Three-Piece Costume Of Navy
Blue Serge and Foulard Has an
EminentIy Youthful Air.

The leading dressInakers and tailors
are devoting n great deal Of attention
to the special needs Of young girls, and
very specially the girls of America.
The day of the young married woman
Is clouded over; 1t Is the "jeune file
who now carries all before her, writes
Idalia de Villiers, Paris correspondent.
The sketch shows a very charming
girls costume recently designed In
Paris. The novel three-piece costume
of navy blue serge and foulard is a
Doucet model. The serge skirt falls,
as you can see, In long straight lines
and though 1t is slightly full 1t is new
ertheless very much narrower at the
hem than the skirts of a few months
ago.
Then the smart little coatee. made
Of cherry-red foulard spotted with
blue, is It not delightful? SO cool and
so eminently youthful. with Its pract-
cal side pockets and loose, open col
lar. The mixture Of fine serge and
foulard is finding great favor with our
Partisan elegantes. All the new serge
materials are supple as silk cashmere
and they give splendid wear. And the
newest foulards have something Of n
serge surface. while retaining all the
charm Of soft silk.
The Doucet model might be copied In
any color. For example. it would be
very uncommon and attractive In fine
black %serge--this for the skirt-and
white foulard spotted with black fol-

BEES ARE GREATEST
FARM MONEY. MAKERS
One Hundred Hives More valu-
able Than 80.Acre Farm,
Says Minnesota Expert.

One hundred hives of bees are
worth as much, or even more, than an
SO-acre farm, says Francis JAEGER Of
Minnesota university farm, st. Paul.
For capital invested and labor re-
quired, adds Mr.. lager, bees are far
the greatest money-makers n Il
keep on the farm. One hundred
pounds Is n fair average production
under good management of the bee
yard. At this rate 1U0 hives would
produce 10000 pounds of honey In one
year. This, ut ten cents n pound,
would give a return of $1,000 for one
year.
None of this has to be used to pay
for feed for the bees, for all their food
and honey comes from the flowers of
the roadsides, woods, and meadows.
Further, little or no rent Is required
for the land, for the beehives q be
placed along roadsldes and In meadows
where the bees have food at their very
doors.
The oulS large expense Is for equip
ment such us hives and supers. and
this equipment will last a lifetime. II
can be supplied for $500. This means
a yearly charge Of only about $40
| The bees can be obtained free by
| catching swarms in summer. Then by
the use OF purebred Italian queens
these swarms can be multiplied Into
n purebred apiary.
The total annual cost Of the bees
for one year then Is less than $50 ex
elusive of labor. The actual labor re
quired is worth $134 at the rate o.
500 per year, for only one-shird o
the time Of one man is needed, nc
cording to Mr.. jaeger, who finds tina
one man can easily care for 800 hives
This leaves Q net profit Of $40 for on

In good farming allow nothing to go
to waste.
On many farms every year grass and
weeds around buildings. In barn lots,
along fences and roads, In corn or
stubble fields, go to seed and become
waste material. These weeds could be
turned to good account II there was a
bunch Of sheep to ent them.
No farm animal will respond more
readily to care and feed than sheep.
They need but little attention IL such
as they require Is given them ut the
right time.
There Is a worldwide shortage Of
sheep. The consumption Of mutton Is
on the increase. The wool supply Of
the world Is about exhausted. Fat
lambs and wool bring good figures. Not
on account of the war, but from q
genuine demand of the people. There
Is wonderful interest In sheep-growing
everywhere, but the demand for NUT
ton and wool is so great that producers
cannot meet 1t. There should be sheep
on every farm.
Sheep need a change OF pasture.
Turning them from one field into an
other furnishes this change and keeps
the sheep healthy.
Expen ,ive housing Is unnecessary,
Warm shelter Is essential only when
the lambs are very young. The roof is
the important part Of the sheep
house. Keep the sheep dry during the
winter season and the fleece will pro-
vide the warmth. A bunch OF good
ewes will return good profits. Their re-
quirements are simple and their re-
turns in fleece and fat lambs will sur
prise you.
There Is no better winter feed for
the ewes than good silage and alfalfa
hay. A good W will give more milk
for the feed consumed. than will the
best dairy cow. Her lamb will do the
milking, and by converting the milk
into fat lamb, the farmer can get much
more per 100 pounds for the ewes
milk than for the cows, and In add
ton, the W furnishes a fleece each
year to sell.
Care should be taken not to feed
sour or moldy silage to sheep. 1t Will
kill them. Large ewes raising lambs
can be fed sweet silage up to four OF
five pounds per day, after they have
become accustomed to 1t. During the
winter before the lambs arrive, the
ewes, IL In good condition at the start

There nre, however, difficulties and
limitations which no farmer can con-
troll. Climatic conditions In the win
ter time nrc such as to render this
kind OF disposal almost impossible for
days together. There are weather Pc
RODS when the ground Is too soft for n
load and II Is difficult to have a field
prepared to receive manure mt all
times. II Is possible to forestall such
difficulties to a certain extent by start
Ing operations on the land during the
summer and fall. making ready for m
ergenclcs.
In order to obtain the best results,
the manure must be spread on the soil
evenly. The theory is that a small
particle Of manure carries different
kinds of bacteria that are beneficial
to the soil. Even distribution will
scatter these different forms Of bac-
terla and distribute them to every
square foot Of soil surface. Growing
plants protect these minute forms of
life and encourage their m%ultlplica-
ton In the soil and the bacteria break
down the particles of manure for soil
enrichment.
Manure left In piles viii soon lose
Its strength. The old-fashioned idea
Of pillng n to rot 1t has passed
on Its way. Very few farmers pile
manure nowadays, md It Is noticeable
that n pits are very scarce and
the few that are In use are much shall.
lower than those formerly used. In
fact, tho new ones are nothing but
d~epressicns to collect liquid manure
from stable drains. When the value
of stable absorbents and their proper
nse is well Understood, the manure
pit will become obsolete and the e
preston "well-rotted manure" will dis.
| appear from agricultural literature.
The COW barn shown in the illus.
trations Is a sensible building so de.
signed that the farmer may exercise
his judgment In the arrangement OF
one-thlrd OF the stable. fitting 1t close
~ to his needs. Every provision MAJ
be Installed for the economic handling
Of the stock and because Of the efficient
lighting and ventilation Of the stable
this barn Is excellent for Its particular
purpose. When a farmer starts in tbs
dairy business. he is not always SURF
