:.. A Song
From coast TO coast men, women
and children are singing the latest
song hit, eff You Had All the World
and It's Gold" It's words go straight
to the heart-they embody sentiments
we all feel. Perhaps that is one rea-
son why eff You Had All the World
and It's Gold" has had such a tremen-
dous success. Here are the words:
I was wishing that | had the riches
to buy
All my dreams as | sat by the fire
What a life | would live, what could
riches not give?
What more could a heart desire?
When my fond little mother drew
close to nv side,
"There are some things, my child,
you can't buy" she replied
Mothers eyes beam on me, in their
depths I can see
Light of love far more precious than
gold.
Silver threads in her hair, and her
brow lined with care,
Tell me she is growing old.
Then I see that the teardrops are
dimming her eyes,
AS she smiles through her tears
can't help realize:
CHORUS:
You can't buy the sunshine at twilight,
You can't buy the moonlight at
dawn;
You can't buy your youth when you're
growing old,
Nor your life when the heartbeat
is gone.
You can't buy your way into. heaven,
Though wealth may hold power I'M
told,
And when you lose your mother, you
can't buy another,
If you had all the world and it's
gold
We are still having a good time, as
our relations are making it as pleas
ant as possible for us, and the best
of it is they won't let us spend
cent With regards to all we remain,
AS ever,

FEEDING sILAGE TO CALVES
Best Results Obtained by Giving Some
Other Feed Rich in Protein, Such
as Alfalfa Hay.

(By PROF. A. T.. HACKER, Lincoln.
Neb)
Silage is q splendid ration but not
complete. To get the best results you
should have some feed to go with it,
which is strong in protein, such as al
falfa hay, clover hay, oil meal or cot
tonseed meal. COttOnseed meal is the
balance for corn silage. Here is
great feeding problem in nutshell.
Good feeding means to supply nutri-
ents with their required nourishment
at the least possible cost. The re-
quired nourishment means a supply
of digestible carbohydrates and pro-
tein in proper proportion.
Corn silage is the cheapest known
form Of carbohydrates s-alfalfa, COT
tonseed meal and clover furnish a
cheap form Of protein. A thousand
pound steer can consume about 35
pounds of corn silage per day. With

HANDY OFFICE FOR FARMER
Room in Farm Home Should Be Con-
sidered Necessity Rather Than
Luxury-ldeal Make-Up.

If you are planning to build a farm
home, make it complete by including
in your plans space for an Office. Such
room in the farm home should be
considered more as necessity than
as luxury.
The business farmer should have
place in which to look over, and take
care of his mail, to file his business
documents, to keep his agricultural
papers and books, and to receive his
business callers. Every farm home
is supplied with a room in which to
receive social guests; why not one for
business guests?
The farm Office should have an out
side entrance, plenty of light, and an
inside entrance. By all means, it
should be cheerful and never allowed
to take on q stuffy appearance from
an overdose of furniture, pictures, or
plants.
The ideal farm office is furnished
with fiat top desk and a filing case
rather than roll-top desk and pigeon
holes. The tendency to stick things
away is thus, to a certain degree, over
come. 1t also contains sectional
bookcase, strong, comfortable chairs,
typewriter and place for hanging
coats and hats.
Men bent on a business deal will
reach an agreement easier and more
quickly in private place where inter-
ruptions are not necessary, where ref
erences and papers are at ones ell
bow, and where business atmosphere
pervades the surroundings.

For the Little Ones.

Encourage the child to wait on itself
and you will be saved much work and
will be giving the child an education
which it will never be able to value
until it has reached years of discre<
.tion. There are SO many little Shelps
that can be offered to make work at
tractive to children. For instance, a
successful way to teach child to put
its soiled clothes out of sight is to
make for it's own use little laundry
bug of some cheerful color and on it
embroider the word Laundry" Hang
1t on a peg low enough for the child
to reach and you will not have to re-
mind the child more than two or three
times of its duty.
If you cannot afford to have nursery
furniture for the child's room, you
should at least let the child share
bureau or dressing table with someone
so that 1t can be taught quite young to
put hair ribbons, handkerchlefs, etc.,
in a certain place. Let it understand
that the space reserved is all It's very
own.

Look back at your childhood days,
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them. how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF

POULTRY FOR MARKET
Wives Believe There Is More
Money in Dressed Bird.
Writer in Commercial Farming Shows
That Greater Profit Is Made by
Sending Fowls to Market
AIive-Time Is Lost.

Many farmers wives dress chickens
for the market rather than sell them
alive, on the theory that there is more
money in bird dressed for the oven
than in one sold alive. A good way to
determine that for oneself is to keep
notes on the weight of the live and
dressed bird, and the prices for same.
some time ago, T. e. Orr, in CONNER
cial Farming, gave his experience in
this line, as follows:
"We sorted out 40 birds that weighed
200 pounds. Then we divided them,
the 20 larger ones weighing 100 pounds,
the twenty-nine smaller and harder to
dress, weighing the same. OF course,
at IL cents a pound, each lot would
have brought us $12.
"Of the largest, eight weighed as
follows: Alive, 45 pounds; beheaded
and plucked, 81 pounds-a loss of one
pound each on head and feathers; fully
dressed, 33 pounds-a loss on crop and
entrails of one pound each. (They had
had no food for IS hours.) The total
NOSo was @OsUO pCA SCllI' 1AAANO tHCy
would have brought rs $5.40; dressed.
they brought us $5.61, so we had 81
cents for dressing.
'The smaller II of these 20 birds
weighed as follows: Alive, 53 pounds;
fully dressed, as the others, 80 pounds
"a loss of 1.25 pounds each, or loss
of 90 per cent in dressing. Alive, they
would have brought us $500; dressed,
they brought us S6.63, so we only had
total of "a cents for dressing 20 birds.
We saw that we should lose our time
and some money also if we dressed
the other %; therefore, as we had
killed the most misunderstanding birds,
we decided to let the others go alive.
We estimated that they would lose 35
per cent, or dressed 65 pounds to the
100, thus bringing us about 81 less
dressed than alive, and it would have
cost us fully $1.50 to have dressed
them. On growing cockerels, the loss
averages not far from 80 per cent; ;
even on particularly good ones, it cam
not be less than 25 per cent"

Two hats that do not commit them
selves to any particular season or
cline, and one that announces its de-
vOtion to winter, are shown In the
group of new millinery pictured here.
It would seem like beginning the win
ter all over again to invest In winter
millinery at this late date. So, If Oc-
casion demands something new in. the
way Of headwear, the ever-ready lady
betakes herself to some smart mil
linery establishment. There she views
the new things made in anticipation of
the spring for those who journey
south to meet 1t.
There she will find hats of satin,
hats of silk, hats Of combinations of
three fabrics with straw 4braiGls, and
hats of many other things. They are
not the hats Of summertime, but will
not find themselves out of place under
sunny skies. Neither are they winter
hats, yet they are not too airy and
fragile to face snow hurries. They are
hats Of the demi-season, and you may
wear fur scarf or no scarf at all with
them.
At the left a hat Of nattier blue
faille silk Is shown, embellished with
black silk sOutache braid and lovely
little handmade roses of silk. They
are in soft rose color and are set
fiat against the hat. A lot of fine
handwOrk makes this an expensive bit
Of luxurious headwear, but its excuse
for extravaganza is It's lovellness.
At the center of the group Is hat Of
black satin, simple narrow-brimmed
shape It's claim to originality rests
upon the deep flounce of black lace
that ealls from the top of the crown. 1t
falls over a collar of silver ribbon, and
terminates at each side of the front.

lace or rich embroidery is to be made

ROTATION TEST WITH WHEAT
Ten Bushels More Per Acre Secured
Where Crop Followed Soy Beans,
Potatoes or Oats.

Yields of wheat at the Ohio expert
ment station this year were ten BUSH
els more to the acre where this crop
followed soy beans, potatoes or oats
than where it was seeded ON land
growing corn last year. In all these
rotation tests the treatment Of the
soil as regards lime, manure and 9TH
er fertilizers is the same.
The wheat was all seeded at about
the same date. The yield Of wheat
after corn was % bushels per acre,
while the yield when wheat followed
the other three crops was about 38

Wherever it is set on to the net in the
bodice metallic ribbon joins them.
The bodice opens over small

worn over skirt of striped silk and
a low underbodice Of silk, which re-
peats the colOrs in the skirt. In the
model the underskirt and bodice are
in black and white and the ribbon used
is silver gauze.
The low shoes and the hat are both
in black and white, and the entire cos

liant contrast. 1t is nearly always
good and in this instance it is superb.

TO SECURE PURE SEED GRAIN
Bulletin Issued by Expert Of North
Dakota Experiment Station on
the important Subject.

How to secure seed grain that is
free from mixtures and diseases is
the subject matter Of circular No. II
just issued by the North Dakota ex-
pertinent station.
Professor Bolley advises securing as
pure seed as possible, cleaning and
treating it and sowing 1t so as to leave
every seventh row for a path to walk
through to pick out weeds and the
plants that are diseased or that are
not true to type. In this way pure
disease free seed can be secured for
next years sowing.
