dent, President Kerr says, that there
will be the greatest difficulty in
financing the work in Oregon on the
appropriation, but that by co-ordinat-
ing closely all the various agencies of
the state interested in the work much
can be done to add to the nation 3

We all know that in most cases the

his house was built. Go around to him
after two years, or even less, time has

The point is this: the average man

SPREAD THE MANURE
DIRECT FROM WAGON
Several Good and Substantial
Reasons for Condemning
Practice of Piling II.

CBy II. T. FRENCH. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
A common practice in farming sec
tions is still followed, that of hauling
manure from the yards and stables to
the field, and instead of scattering the
manure, placing 1t in piles. There are
several reasons why this should not be
done; first, 1t offers a breeding place
for flies and insects, and harbor for
mice and other vermin. Second, and
more important, there is Il consider
able loss in the effect of the manure
by teaching and unequal distribution
of its fertilizlng ingredients.
Wherever the piles are made the
ground will receive more than its share
of the fertilizer and other portions will
not get fair show. 1t Is a mistaken
notion that much of the fertilizing
value will escape In the air If the ma
nure is spread at once. The soil will
catch the valuable constituents from
the melting snow and rain, and even
dew will carry some of them into the
soil. The third reason is important
also, and that is In the economy of
spreading the manure direct from the
wagon as soon as hauled to the field,
rather than to handle 1t again In
spreading from the piles.

PEACOCK FAN NEWEST FANCY
Fashions From Orient and Spain Have
Given Impetus to Revival Of This
Appendage to'Woman's Costume.

The fashions from the Orient and
those from Spain have been an Inn
petus to the revival of fans. This is
an appendage to the costume that few
American women have cared to take
M, except mt short intervals OF fash
ion. This Is strange when one con-
siders that the American hands are
excessively nervous and that the wom-
en- often use them in needless and fu-
tile gestures because they cannot learn
to let them rest Idly In the lap. The
fan offsets this nervousness and gives
grace.
The small fans Of Peking and Mad
rid are not adopted today, for wom-
en- are using immense affairs of bril-
liant colored feathers that show up
in direct contrast to the costume. The
large peacock fan is the newest fancy,
and the long, graceful feathers with.
their brilliantly colored eyes are
mounted on ivory, on amber or on san
dalwood.
The fan with the amber tips and
the long, broad. fiat ostrich feathers Is
also most desired accessory.

MINERAL MATTER is
ESSENTIAL FOR cows
Ordinary Rations Do Not Contain
Sufficient Amount of Mate
rial for Milk.

Dairy cows ordinarily cannot digest
from rations of the usual character
sufficient mineral matter to meet the
demands made by heavy milk produc-
ton. This conclusion has been reach
ed by nutrition experts at the Ohio ex-
pertinent station after two years in
vestigations with cows yielding large
quantities of milk.
These specialists also say that even
when the common practical rations
are supplemented with large amounts
of calcium carbonate and bone flour,
the cows still give Off more lime than
they can digest from their rations. To
meet this demand for heavy milk pro-
duction the cows must draw upon the
mineral substances of their skeletons.
Further attempt Is being made, by
the use of more readily soluble lime
salts, to learn whether COW can alb
sorb as much lime as she gives Off
during heavy milk production.
The results obtained thus far en-
phasize the value of leguminous rough
ages in milk production. Without lib
eral allowance of such feeds the loss
of minerals from the bones becomes
excessive, and predisposes to disorders
of nutrition.

The man who Is building his first
home and has the problem of com
pletely furnishing it on his hands, may
not think so, but lie has an advantage
over the man who has rented home
and collected n more or less. complete
assortment Of furniture, curtains, etc.
To the average man or woman the
word home" has meaning which
does not include brand-new house
which every day yields new delights
previously overlooked. IL has far
more stable meaning than that. The
true meaning of the word is cstab-
lished gradually as the years pass.
The point is this: The man who is
planning his first house Is laying the
foundation of the home which will be
his most valued accomplishment, If he
builds WELL through all the years of his
life. The true home starts with the
house and gradually assumes It's mean
ing, as, year after year, memories are
built up around 1t. This man who
starts with nothing but the desire to
build up home and the ability to pro-
vide the means of doing II, has the nd

C0L0RS THAT MAY BE USED
II is Not Always Those That Har-
monize That II 10 Proper for Smart
Woman to Combine In Clothes.

It Is not always the colors that har-
monize that are properly combined in
the clothes women wear. For there Is
vast chasm between things that are
smart and things that are pretty, and,
of course, the woman of fashion cares
very little for mere prettlness. She
must above all else be smart.
For this reason though there are
many colors that would tone well
enough with navy blue-this spring as
always is one of the leading colors for
the street suits and frocks-there are
just three, or possibly four, colors that
are smartly combined with 1t. One
is green--the bright green that now
goes by the name Of Shadow Lawn
green, another Is violet, dark dull vio-
let preferably, the third Is lime and
the possible fourth is cherry. Only
very little of these colors should be
combined with the navy blue, facing
of she collar or cuffs, buttons or
stitching brings In the color. 1t Is
never combined In wholesale quanti-
ties.
With black one must be very care
full. Preferably white should be used.
And remember that nowadays black
and white never has anything to do
with mourning. Black-and-white COM
binations are the antithesis Of mourn
ing. They are as daring and as brill
liant as any colors could possibly be.
Black and gold are good and so are
black and silver In evening clothes. One
may use deep rich blue or green
with black in evening things-but care
'ully.

slx-Room House With Many Special Features.

before the house is entered. The bun.
galow idea Is evident in the broad, low
lines of the roof and several unique
features have expressed themselves in
the exterior design. The heavy ex-
posed timbers arranged in pairs under
the roof given an air of distinction to
the house. The gable of the porch
roof materially sets off the front of the
house and the entire porch design is
very effective. The rail is low and Is
carried out TO extend the porch be-
yond the columns in line with the side
of the house. Two posts are set at the
outside corners of this extended por-
tion of the porch. Flower baskets set
upon these posts would produce a very
artistic effect, The sides of the house
are finished with beveled siding and
the window trim is a little out of the
ordinary, in keeping with other fea-
lures of exterior design.
A small vestibule is entered from the
porch, and this leads into the hall
from which the various rooms of the
first floor and the stairs to the second
rioor are reached. The large living
room has a fireplace set into one cor
ner. Four windows are built into the
side wall of the house in this room, and
one large window is placed at the
front. The living room is always Il
pleasure room in which the fireplace Is
set into one corner, but 1t is seldom
that this is possible without interfer,
ing with the arrangement of some 9TH
er part of the house.
The dining room is in the rear of the
living room. The buffet is built against
the rear wall with wide window
above it. -Four windows occupy the
side wall in this room, similar to the
arrangement in the living room. A
hall leads past the pantry to the kitch-
en-. The kitchen Is fitted with n sink
set into the corner opposite the hall.
A chimney has an outlet, between the
door to the rear porch and the pantry,
for the kitchen stove. The pantry Is
an ideal one. with a counter and cup
board. The refrigerator is placed In
the pantry and is iced from the rear
porch. A little den and toilet are
also placed on the first floor.
Two bedrooms, bath and a stor-
age room occupy the second floor. A
long hall extends parallel to the stair
case, a feature which gives the neces.
sary privacy to the sleeping rooms.

SECOND THOUGHTS ARE BEST

Second thoughts are best" so the
saying goes hence the second thought
that makes one put aside garment de-
signed for the ragbag is surely good
one II economy Is the theme. A girl
who always has the loveliest blouses
and plenty of them gives as her reason
for being well bloused that she al
ways pays good price in the begin
ming, and keeps her waists In good re-
pair. She gains by this second thought,
Cor when her blouses are apparently
gone ut the wrist, the silk all frayed
and the cuffs probably stained from
much dirt accumulation. she cuts of
the collar and turns 1t into cuffs, buys
n new collar Of white georgette or
satin and just bastes it on In place
of the blouse collar.
