Our Work-a-Day Clothes.

If 1t were not for those master de-
signers who devote their talents to
our work-a-day clothes, we might grow
tired of the sensible and substantial
fabrics that are suited to suits and
one-piece frocks that must stand much
wear. Taking the same materials year
after year, they develop them so clev-
erly into opponents Of new styles that
we are strengthened In our allegiance
to tried and familiar goods. Blue
serge is a part Of the play every sea-
son, and we are being continually re-
convinced that nothing else could be
quite as effective. And 1t Is the same
with broadcloth, twills, cheviots, and
ell the other old favorites.
Any of them might be used for the
one-piece frock, shown In the illustra-
ton, with success. 1t rs modish and
graceful and is made to stand much
wear-a utility gown that will not
grow tiresome. Nothing could be SIM
pier than the bodice which achieves q
smart distinction with Its pointed over
lap Mt the front, short peplum at the
back and belt in two widths. The
sleeves, otherwise plain, hold their
own by buttoning over along the fore
srm with row of fiat bone buttons.

BEST ATTENTION TO MEADOW
Some Of Them In England Have Yield
ed Enormous Crops Of Hay or Been
Graxed for Years.

No part Of the farm pays better than
a good meadow and it should, there
fore, have the best attention. In Eng
land we find the best meadows In the
world, Some of them have yielded
enormous crops Of hay or been grazed
for 300 years. They tell you there
that it takes century to make a
meadow. England is also the land OF
great beef cattle. Good meadows and
cattle are inseparable.
Do not fail to top-dress the meadow
with farmyard manure, In which 200
or 300 pounds Of acid phosphate per
acre has been mixed, or the acid phos.
plate may be broadcasted after apply
ing the manure. If no manure Is avail
able, from 400 to 600 pounds Of acid
or half acid phosphate and half bone
meal should be applied. Treat your
meadows right and they will return
long profits.

INCREASE YIELD BY FLOWING
Work Done In Early Fall Is Most Sat
isfactory-Weeds Are Destroyed
and Soil PuIverized.

Repeated trials have shown that
early fall blowing gives much better
conditions for a crop Of green the fol-
lowing year than late blowing gives,
While August is dry, hot month and
other farm work presses. 1t is advis-
able to do as much blowing as pos
sible. On clean land no further treat
ment is needed On weedy land the
August blowing should be followed
by occasional disking or narrowing,
or by replowing in October,
Such treatment destroys many Of
the weeds and pulverizes the soil, 30
that good supplies of plant food are
available during the next season. In
addition, it gives a longer blowing
season and a chance to do better
work. Early blowing and good plow-
Ing are important steps in getting bet
ter than the average yield.

SILAGE TO Cheaper RATION
Moro silos Being Constructed Every
Year Because of Convenience
and Economy in Feeding.

Because of the economy and con-
venience in feeding silage, more silos
are being built every season. This
year will likely see larger number
erected to "can" the corn crop.
Seventeen per cent more milk and
% per cent more butterfat was pro-
duced by dairy cows fed largely silage
than by others fed mainly a grain ra-
tcn in feeding test conducted at the
Ohio experiment station. The silage
ration produced butterfat at 10 cents
a pound, and the grain ration at %
cents. Two pounds of dry matter can
be produced In the form of silage at
less cost than one pound in sugar
beets, other tests have shown.

Writer'S Unfinished Stories.

Several years ago writer published
In magazine the beginnings of half
dozen stories that he had never carried
to an end, with a note saying that all
writer's had such manuscripts tucked
away in their desks. He might have
added that those stories were also
tucked away in the consciousness and
operated silently and inexorably in the
weakening of the will. Those half
dozen beginnings were all good. They
piqued curiosity and they introduced
interesting characters.
The writer would have done far bet
ter to finish them all, better for his
reputation, his income and his force
as worker.
Way down deep in the mind, perhaps
In the sub-conscious, those stories
pleaded to be told, those characters
asked for life.

F'rom the United States Department of
Agriculture)
The same day that seed corn is
gathered from standing stalks as they
grow in the field the husked ears
should be put in a dry place where
there is Il free circulation of air, and
so placed that the ears do not touch
one another.
This is the only safe way, accord
ing to the United States department
OF agriculture which says that much
good seed has been ruined because 1t
was thought to be dry enough when
gathered. Many farmers think that
their autumns are so dry that these
precautions are not necessary, yet
there is no locality where the corn
will not be bettered by thorough
drying treatment. If corn Is left In
the husk 1t may sprout or mildew dur

has the appearance of an extension Of
the plated front and is fastened at

The belt and bodice are both fastened,
with snap fasteners probably, under

A white satin collar Is worn with
this dress, as with coats of tailored
suits. Organdie collars of good lace
are always good style. With these
everyday dresses 1t is well to have
several kinds of collars. since they
must be depended upon to furnish a
little variety In appearance, as neck

CONTROL OF SHEEP SORREL
Cuieklime Can Be Used to Advantage
by SHAKING With Water and
SprinkIlnQ Mixture.

The usual advice for the control of
sheep sorrei is to apply ground lime
stone. two tons per acre, hydrated lime
one and one-half tons per acre, or
quieklime one ton per acre. The quick
lime can be used to advantage by
shaking with water and sprinkling the
mixture freely over the sorrel. The
liquid will injure the leaves of the sor-
rel as well as help correct the soil
actdity.

SOLDLERS' TOBACCO FUND OFFERS
 FINE CHANCE TO THOSE WISHING
 TO SEND BOYS A CHRISTMAS GIFT

What could be a more appropriate Christmas remembrance 10 the boys in the trenches in France than a package l of "smokes?"
 1t has been announced that all gifts
 intended to reach the boys by Christmas must be en route not later than No
 vember 15 This applies to the tobac 70 kits which are being sent to France with the proceeds of The Age-Herald to- bacco fund.
 Although this fund has now passed the S1loo mark. which means that over 400 kits, each containing 45 cents worth of smoking tobacco have been provided, there are still thousands of other boys
 who will be glad to receive one of them. Including the contributions acknowl-
 edged this morning, 1850 different per- sons have contributed to this fund At tention is called to the fact that Christ mas offers an excellent opportunity for some S100 contributions to be made
 Every 25 cents sent in Is appreciated but there are hundreds of men who could give anything from B to S100.
 It seems little thing to give soldier t5 cents worth of tobacco but it means a whole lot to him over there where ne cannot get his regular American brands of tobacco and cigarettes and in many cases where he cannot secure them at all.
 Garnsey came forward with a fine list yesterday, which sent the fund soaring above $1100 The Age-Hernld tobacco fund yesterday stood as follows:
