Eastern CoIors viii Rule

The colors for the coming spring
season have definitely been decided
upon, and 1t is not surprising. con-
sidering the Oriental inspiration for
the newest frocks, that Eastern colors
with suggestive names will be the
vogue. For instance, there Is "Fuji-
yama," named after the famous Japa-
nese mountain, the color being a rich
bright gold. That gold is going to be

varieties OF this color. A dark gold

rightly so. There is an Egyptian pink

Stumbled on Burglars Cache.

A burglars haul amounting to ST.
500 was recently discovered by a gar.
dener while digging up some flower
beds In Kingston, England. He was
preparing the beds for the winter
when he was surprised to find ar
ticles Of jewelry among the earth
turned up by his spade. Then he
called one of the other gardeners, and
the two Of them In a short time
brought to the surface some two or
three hundred articles Of Jewelry, all
In gold. consisting Of gold watches, ex'
panding wristlet watches, finger.
rings. earrings, shirt studs, sleeve
links, albert and neck chains; and
other articles, some of them set with
diamonds and other precious stones
the whole being sufficient to fill the
apron OF one az the men. The police
afterwards sifted the earth and sue.
ceeded In recovering several smaller
articles. Later In the day the jewell
cry was Identified as that stolen from
jeweler whose shop had been broker
into by burglars.

Two Things to Remember

|, There are many hard and fast rules
which the embroiderer should remem-
Der when doing fancy work. One Of
them is that 1t never pays to put lot
Of handwork on inferior material. An
other Is, that the design chosen should
be appropriate. Do not select a heavy
pattern for a dainty camisole OF baby
cap and, on the other hand. don't
choose a dainty design for table rum
ner or pillow for den. And another
very important rule is to observe the
grain of the material when laying your
design on your goods. The reason
round centerpieces so often seem to be
crooked when the pattern is true, is
that the pattern has not been placed
straight with the grain of the goods
when transferring. Be most careful
to place a round design straight with
the lines of the linen and then 1t will
look round.
Keep in mind the grain of the goods
when laundering round centerpfeces.
Place, them on the board so that the
linen threads are parallel with the
edge of the board, and then the iron
will follow the threads of the linen.
You cannot possibly keep the center
piece in a good shape II you iron across
the diagonal threads of the linen.

such plnce In all OF his rented houses,
very much.
The things named above nre only a

'"The loss resulting from feeding in
ferior cattle has been well demon
strated experimentally at the Kansas
station" said Doctor McCampbell. "In
this experiment, well bred--but not
purebred-cattle of desirable beef
type were compared with cattle the
same age and somewhat larger, yet
not Of the type most desirable for con-
verting feed into beef.
"The good beef type-quality cattle
made a daily gain Of 2.22 pounds
while the undesirable type, although
receiving the same amount Of feed,
made gain Of only 1.78 pounds daily.
The gain on the good type cattle cost
SS.15 100 pounds while the gain on
the coarser cattle cost $10.25 100
pounds. This experiment demonstrates
that one Of the essentials in making
beef is the selection Of the right kind
of feeders.
"A good feeder must be close to the
ground, have short, broad head
with strong muzzle, wide, straight
top. wide. deep chest, a capacious
middle, deep flank, deep, full quar-
ters, and withal, plenty of substance
and lots Of quality"

Silo. go.

By r. d. HEBBJ
Something OF what the silo means to
every farm is shown In the above
genealogical tree" The silo is one
Of the greatest conservators of food
values and OF land fertilities on the
farm. BY Its use stock is furnished
with green roughage during the win
ter months when such feed has for
years been thought out Of the ques-
tion. 1t furnishes an ,nomical ra-
ton at a time when foodstuffs are
high.
Increased Fertility.
II means increased fertility to the
soil because the owning Of a siio
means the owning of more livestock.
More feed can be stored in a given
space In the form of silage than In the
form Of fodder or hay. There is less
loss Of food material when a crop is
made into silage. Crops can be put
into the silo during weather which
cannot be utilized in making hay or
fodder. There Is less waste; good
sllage Is all consumed. The accumu-
latlon of more livestock on the farm
means an increased income for the
farmer.
Many county agents are making de-
termined campaigns In their communi-
ties for the building Of silos and these
campaigns invariably result In increas-
Ing the bank account of the farmer.

weapon against drought. Every dry

Destructive droughts sometimes oc-

system Of depending on pasture in
