In the styles so far presented for
fall and winter there are no radical
departures from those of the passing
season. Usually when the time comes
to buy new clothes, the attention Of
the feminine public is almost wholly
centered on incoming styles. But just
now other absorbing interests are TAX
Ing so much time that women are best
suited with conservative ideas in
dress. They are readjusting their lives
In order to become helpful in time
Of war.
The most noticeable difference be-
tween the tailored suit for fall and
those of last spring Is in the length
Of coats. In coat suits the coats are
longer. But q plain three-Quarter
length even II 1t did service last year,
will find itself much at home among
the plain suits just turned out. Be

stitching find place.

SUPPLY CORN FODDER
TO cows IN SUMMER
Feed Small Quantities at First
Until They Become Accus-
toned to New Feed.

Cows, unless the pasture is unusual
ly good, should have q feed Of corn
fodder twice a day. If very succulent,
1t should be cut and allowed to wilt a
few hours before feeding. Feed small
quantities at first until they become
accustomed to 1t. If too much Is fed
at first it will cause hoven. Green
feed may be saved by giving the cows
feed Of old hay or wheat straw in the
morning before they are turned out
the straw is readily eaten and less
green feed will be needed.
Cows need plenty of water, especially
when the weather is hot; they will
drink frequently If the water is handy.
Keep the stables clean and dry.
The better plan Is to have a day
and night pasture; very few dairymen
can have this; the next best way is to
have a roomy yard adjoining the
stables, with trough Of pure water in
1t.
In the busy driving season of hay
ing and harvesting the live stock on
the farm is very often neglected. Be
on your guard against this. Make 1t
your personal business to see that the
horses, cows, sheep and pigs are well
fed and properly stabbed.

quiet colors, are characteristic of the
season. Colors most popular are those
classed as "the fur cOlors" including
taupe, gray, brown castor, beige. Dark
wine and the shades Of amethyst in
the richest tones relieve range that
would otherwise be too grave. Dark
blue is good as always.
One of the new fall suits is shown
In the picture and'is a model which
looks well in any Of the popular wool
materials. The skirt has panel with
two plaits at each side down the back,
which correspond to plaits in the coat

The coat Is semifltting with tive
straps of the material across the back
at the waistline. Below these Is

A panel finished with three rows Of
braid at the bottom Is set In at each
side below a long side body which
fastens over 1t with a button.
The pointed muffler collar is new
development Of this admirable and
popular style in collars. From every
standpoint this Is a fine example
among well-tailored suits.

The performance of the Canadian
soldiers in the great war will reflect
glory on their country and race, as
long as history lasts. But their rec
ord is matched by that Of the women
Of Canada who have thrown them
selves heart and soul into war work Of
all kinds. They have shown energy
and endurance and bravery equal to
that of their men. There Is no calcu-
latlng the value Of the services they
have given and the sacrifices they
have made.
The same disposition to help shows
itself among women all over this coun-
try. There are few among US so dense
as to fail to see that 1t is dlsgraceful
to be a Stacker In times like these.
The government cannot do all the
work that must be done for the SOL
dlers and for those he leaves when
he goes out to war. The soldier must
be provided with clothing, socks, un-
derwear, shirts, sweaters, muffiers and
mlts, when on duty. These things wear

must be supplied with sleeping gar
ments, slippers, bandages, dressings,
and an endless stream of surgical sup
plies must flow into them, besides
sheets, pillow cases and other things
that are made by women. Comfort
kits are to be furnished for every
fighting man, and every one is entitled
to messages from someone back home,
whether he has relatives and friends
there or not.
Prisoners and the men in hospitals
are to be remembered with letters and
provisions, when possible. And be-
sides all this, for the soldiers, there
is the work of looking after the well
fare of the poorer families left at
home.
All these things require the volun-
teer work Of women, money and more
money. Women are showing them
selves equal to the task set them. The
thing for each one to do is to decide
what part Of the service she will enter,
and TO enlist in that and serve as long

The corn grower can scarcely be too
enthusiastic about gathering more
seed corn than is apparently needed.
One thing which tends to lessen gen.
erous selection Of seed consists in not
providing some convenience for get
ting the corn easily and rapidly out Of
the field.
For selecting seed corn on a small
scale, grain sack with short, wide
band connecting the top and bottom,
SO it may be conveniently carried over
the shoulder, is good for carrying corn.
II desired, two satisfactory bags can
be made from one grain sack by cut
ting 1t in two, making each bag just
half the length of the grain bag. Such
a bag should be provided with wide
band sewed to opposite sides Of the
open end, so when carrying over the
shoulder the mouth of the bag will
hang about even with the waist. The
bag may be made slightly more con-.
venient by having wire hoop about
the top, which keeps 1t open and
makes dropping the ears into 1t easier.
By the use of such q bag one person
can by steady work select and carry
from fairly good field from seven to
ten bushels Of well selected ears. At

and aerated by flowing in a thin film
over a corrugated metal surface cooled
by water which circulates through on
the inside.
Not only does this cool the milk
but some Of the bad flavor Of fresh
milk may be eliminated by exposure
to pure air. The temperature of the
milk will depend on the coolness Of
the water used. If the milk is to be
sold 1t should be kept cool by allowing
the cans to stand in a tank of cold
water.
If only cream is sold from the farm
the milk should be separated imme-
dlately after milking and the cream
cooled at once. The keeping quality
Of the butter made from this cream
will depend upon the way the cream
is handled at the farm. Creamery
men are coming to realize that in or
der to produce good quality Of but
ter they must have good cream to
start with and in many places they
are paying premium. 20 the farmers
who deliver cream Of good quality.
Cream must be cooled Immediately
after being separated, and any other
cream that is separated later should
be cooled before being added to the
first cream. The cream, If delivered
three times a week during summer,
should reach the creamery in first
class condition and should make but
ter Of good quality.
The cheapest and most simple ar
rangement for keeping cream and milk
cool on the farm is made by allowing
water that flows to stock tanks to
pass through sheltered tank in which
the milk and cream cans are placed.

the close of each half day he should
properly string up the corn, or ar
range 1t for cutting.
This method is irksome If large Sc
lections are to be made. A sledlike
frame either on runners or low wheels
narrow enough to go between two
rows of corn and long enough to carry
five or six bushel-slze baskets or boxes,
is very convenient device for use in
carrying the seed ears selected in the
field. AS this Is drawn through the
field by q horse, one or two persons
may select from as many as the four
nearest rows or three persons may
EASILY select from six rows. At the
ends Of the field the full baskets or
boxes may be replaced by empty ones,
or they may be dumped, to be gath
cred up by wagon at the close Of
each half day or day. This device may
break down occasional stalks Of corn,
varying with the amount of bent or
twisted stalks, but the damage is more
than paid for by the time saved. Such
carrier makes possible a more rapid
selection of the ears, and relieves the
operators Of carrying heavy bags Of
corn when all energy Is needed In
judging the ears and the stalks for
the selection.
