Since calico has become fashionable
milliners have launched a few late
summer hats, made OF various cotton
materials and labeled "calico hats"
that reflect this wartime fad. If we
are destined to have to come to calico
in our millinery IL Is consolation to
know that IL can be made into such
pretty headwear as that shown at the
bottom of the picture above. We must

The hat at the lower right is a
genuine calico affair-the calico the

polka dot The brim covering Is cut
in a square and edged with rick-rack
braid. The four corners of the square
are turned up over the upper brim
and tackled against the crown. A blue

crown and terminates at the front In
a bow and ends. Little silk tassels
finish the ends. The hat at the left
is made of fine printed cotton crepe
in light pink and white. Instead of
points there are square tabs turned
back over the brim. This brim COW

Fruits and green vegetables Are
canned to supply succulent and pala-
table foods for the family during the
winter. Succulence is just as essen
tlal to the COW as to a human being.
The abundant milk flow obtained from
June pasture to a large extent is due
to the succulence of the grass. Silage
provides succulent feed during winter
when pasture is not available. Sllage
is palatable, and no other feed will
combine so well with dry hay and
a little grain to produce maximum
economical results.
Use Of SiIo Growing.
Dairy farmers especially have appre-
ciated the value of silage as milk
producer. But sllage is a good and
cheap feed for beef cattle, and also
for sheep and horses. It's value for
beef cattle is illustrated by the fact
that the bureau of animal industry OF
the United States department of ag-
riculture,' In cooperation with state
authorities and county agents, at pres
crease the number of sllos on beef cat

Saving Corn Crops.
Silage is regarded as an excellent
way of preserving mature corn crop
or of saving one which for any reason
must be harvested before maturity.
About 40 per cent of the total food
material In the corn plant is in the
stalks and leaves. When the farmer
h8rvests only the ears he loses nearly
Ohe-half OF the crop. On the other
hand, when the crop Is put into the
silo the loss Is very small. When
drought, frost or insects attack a field
of corn before 1t is ripe, the entire
crop may be lost unless the farmer
has silo ready In which to preserve

No feed crops can be so successfully

DO WHAT THE ROMANS DO.

1t Is not always necessary to
live In Rome to do as the
Romans door did.
History tells of Roman farm
ers who carefully chopped fine
their various green. succulent
feeds and packed them In pits
for use during the winter sea-
son. The practice seems to have
been common, and the feed kept
well. From those early times
1t has been good practice to store
various green crops In pits or
alright containers for feeding
to stock. The silo is the present
day result, and a farmer who
raises live stock, be they cattle,
sheep or hogs, cannot afford to
be without one. The advantages
Of the silo are numerous, but
some of the more important are:
Green, succulent feed is avail
able throughout the year.
A silo stores more feed for less
cost than any other farm build
