There Has Been a Revival OF the Use
OF Pompeian Floors as Dress Deco
ton, Thru the Efforts of Worth of
Paris, and America Is Ready to
Accept Tito = Certain Extent,
New York.-If there il any way of
getting away from capes no woman
has discovered IT. To the mind of the
observer there is no effort to break
loose from this fashion. 1t suits the
needs and the desire of the hour.
Capes are more available for general
usage in American life than top coats.
The French coat. which was exploited
to an unusual degree IN this country
two years ago. was not comfortable
over any kind offrock but the simplest
one of soft fabric, because OF its slim.
narrow body lines and Its long, tight
sleeves, put into small round arm
holes; and IT was utterly impossible
to adjust over a tailored coat suit.

SALT PRESERVES SOFT CORN
Successful Treatment Reported From
Prophetstown, iII.-Good venti-

prepared by the United States Depart
.ment of Agriculture)
Some farmers In the corn belt are
having success in preventing soft or In
sufficiently cured corn from spelling by
applying eight to ten quarts of salt to
each wagonload as 1t is being cribbed,
Farmers about Prophetstown, ILL.,,
where this plan was practiced rather
generally in 1915 and during last fall
and the present winter, report that the
sailed corn keeps well, while similar
corn without salt spoils. They report
that the salt draws water from the
ears and prevents heating, souring or
rotting where there is sufficient venti-
lation to carry away the moisture.
Although observations and investiga-
ton along this line by the office Of
corn investigations, United States de-
partment of agriculture, have not
progressed far enough to give definite
results, means of saving mature corn
of unusually high moisture content are
so urgent and tests Of the preserving
power of salt are so promising Of
economic results as to warrant trial
by farmers who find Ii advisable or
necessary to crib corn containing 20
per cent or more of moisture. The
cost of the salt will be less than one
cent per bushel of corn. Even with
the aid of salt, good ventilation Is nee

table. They are the breeds best suited
for poultry farms where the produc-
ton of eggs Is the main purpose. The
Leghorn breed, and in particular the
Single Comb White Leghorn variety,
is the most popular and widely kept.
The egg breeds are smaller than the
genernl-purpose types of chickens such
as the Plymouth Rock. For that rea-
son they do not make particularly de-
sirable meat fowls and are not so well
favored by the poultry packers as are
the larger general-purpose breeds.
Surplus cockerels, however, sold as
broilers when they weigh from three
quarters to a pound and half, find
ready market.
The bulletin mentioned describes the
different breeds and varieties of lay
ers in the two classes and illustrates
them. However, the purpose of the
bulletin is to give only general de-
scriptions of appearance and charac-

FARMERS BOUND TO WIN.

The record of farmers last year,
made In the face of obstacles, Is ground
for confidence on their part that with
equal application and organization
they can overcome the difficulties this
year, according to Secretary Houston.
Unquestionably there will be difficult
ties to surmount--difficultie In re-
spect to labor and In respect to fer
tiliZers, both rs to price and quantity.
Prices of farm machinery. also, with
other things, have risen. In some re-
spccts the farm-labOr situation may
not be quite so difficult rs last year, al
though 1t Will continue to be especially
acute In certain sections Of the coun-
try. The environments have been built
and there will not be n renewal of ur-
gent demands In many sections for
labor for such work. The draft regu-
lntions provide for the deferred classi-
ficatlon of skilled farm labor. The
population Of the country has In
creased somewhat within the past
year. The secretary Of war has asked
congress for power to furlough sol
dlers OF the National army for agrl-
cultural service IL necessary.
