Valuable Bulletins

A bulletin comes to our desk
this week that should be particu-
larry interesting to farmers at this
time in view of the strong agita-
ton for more planting of sugar
cane. In this booklet Captain R.
E. Rose, State Chemist, tells how
Florida can produce standard
granulated sugar as abundantly
and as cheaply as it may be pro-
duced in Cuba. He says that
Florida is letting wonderful OPP
portunity slip by, calling attention
to the increasing price of sugar in
the market. He states that we
have an abundance of land adapt
ed to the growing Of cane and that
we require only the erection of a
modern central sugar factory that
will purchase the cane from the
farmer at a fair price, which he
sets at one-half the value of the
sugar content of the cane.
TIE also sends two other bulle-
tins" Analyses of Florida Muck
Soils" and Perfect Drainage of
Farm Lands Necessary to Success
full Farming. Any or all may be
obtained by writing the office of
the State Chemist at Tallahassee.

HIRSUTE ADoRNMENT FOR ALL
Transformation Proves Decidedly
Helpful to Woman Who Have
No Maid.

The baldest oma becomes beauti-
full, or, if her features don't permit it,
at least attractive, under the magic in
1uence of a well-made transformation,
notes a fashion writer in the New York
Herald. The transformations of a dec
ade ago and today are vastly differ
ent, for modern ~hairdressers have so
perfected this hirsute adornment that
only an expert is able to detect that it
is not the real thing. In other days
when a woman took to a transforma-
ton to cover up a scarcity of locks she
deceived no one but herself, for her ar
tiicial aid to nature was wholly ap-
parent to curious eyes. The trans
formations were not well made, and
no one ever mistook them for anything
except just what they were.
Today all this is changed. The mod
ern transformation is a thing of beauty
and a Joy forever, a comfort and a con-
venience without which many a wom-
an could not make an attractive tot
lette. Some folk prefer a side part
ing, others n in the center; others,
again, object to a parting at all. The
modern transformation is made to suit
+! all tastes.
The very fact that the transforma-
ton can be taken off and dressed
before wearing completely does away
with so many of the difficulties against
which the "maidIess'' woman has
to contend.

WITH A NOsEGAY ON COLLAR
Embroidered Flowers in Natural Col
oring Affords Pleasing SprinsIike
Touch to the New GirIish Suits.

Two advance models for misses have
a novel embroidered touch which lends
them a distinct springtime atmos-
phere. Silk floss flowers in natu-
raj coloring embellish the right side of
youthful narrow shawl collars, look
ing as though fresh nosegays had been
tucked in.
A small pink carnation with foliage
is very chic on an Elton suit Of navy
tricotine, which may also be worn as
a dress. Black satin folds r used
to define the tailored shapeliness of
collar and cuffs whose curves match,
as well as a horizontal barlike panel
which offsets the do~uble-breasted clos
ing. Two flying panels, n piece
above shoulder blades, give an unusual
back to the Elton, for the ends Of each
are finished with cord fringe.
There is a one-sided tunic on the
narrow skirt which completes this
model. The other, a hobby suit of navy
Poiret twill, has a bluet embroidered
OF it, tracings of silver thread simply
marking the shadows cast by the blend
ing shades of floss.
Oblong inset panels on the narrow
belt and others of larger dimensions ar
ranged half way between skirt section
and bodice at center back and one at
either side front on the skirt section
help to serve as pockets, are other
features that are different"

mortgage filters. To se-ure the maxi

farrow the pigs early and get them on
the market early in the fall.
To do this you need a good warm
building.
There are many different ways to
plan and build a community hog house,
and most every farmer has his own
ideas. However, there are certain
things that have come to be regarded
as practically essential, and it should
be the aim of every farmer or rural
builder undertaking a hog-house prop
osition to provide for these require
ments.
Professor Davidson of Iowa State
college has summed up as follows:
1. Warmth. Reasonably warm shell
ter, in season, with smallest ranges of
temperature, is demanded by swine. if
best returns in health and profits are
to be counted on.
2. Dryness. A dry, well-drained
1oor and dry, tight roof and walls are
quite essential. Masonry construction
which provides for hollow air space
commends itself.
3. Abundance of light and direct
sunlight. The advantage of good light
ing such as is noticed in Photographic
galleries, not necessarily the direct
sunlight, is very effective and is be-
coming greatly appreciated nowadays
in modern structures. Direct sunlight
should sometime strike every part of
the interior of the house daily, espe-
cially the floors of the pens in the spe-
cial narrowing months Of February,
March and April. Much general diff

What the Horse Has Done.

Shake up Times kaleidoscope and
see what the horse has done: 1t was
Caesars bay charger that helped to
put bay leaves on Caesars brow. 1t
was Norman Williams war horse that
helped him to do his conquering. And
if it had not been for Bucephalus how
do you suppose Alexander could have
made himself a present of the world?
Joan of Domremy vas burned at the
stake and her horse was killed in bat
tie, but they come down the ages to-
gether. And look at Bavieca! That
horse began to live a thousand years
ago and he will keep on living as long
as his master, the Cid, which means
forever. Consider the Black Prince
putting John of France on the most
splendid white charger to be found in
the kingdom, so that the captive might
enter London as a royal guest, that
the people might not know him for a
prisoner'-the horse representing the
difference, between friends and foe!

rapidly boiling water which has been
sailed, and allowed to cook until every
grain stands out by itself, is tender
and yet not mushy. Now take a cup
full of cooked rice, put d layer Of it
in O well-buttered dish, then cover
with a small layer of chopped chicken,
giblets or any minced meat, with n
broth or white sauce well seasoned
and added with each layer. Bake until
thoroughly hot and serve rs a main
dish or as a substitute for meat. To-
matOes, with onion and n little chopped
beef and rice. prepared in this way is
another good dish.
Swedish Rice.-BOil a cupful of rice
until tender in sailed water. Drain
and dry in the oven. Stir into 1t two
tablespoonfuls of sweet fat, the yOlks
of two eggs well beaten, a teaspoonful
of onion juice and salt and pepper to
taste. Stir over the fire in q dish set
in hot water, using a fork to stir with.
Turn into q round bowl to mold, then
unmold on a platter and heat in the
oven. Serve with drawn butter sauce.
Rice With Eggs.-Take a quarter of
a cupful of washed and drained rice,
add a tablespoonful of sweet fat and
stir until a light yellow over the heat.
Add broth, potato or any other vege-
table water, and cook covered until
the rice is tender, then season well
and stir in two or three fresh eggs I;
stir until cooked, then serve at once.
This dish tastes like scrambled eggs,
but a very few eggs need be used to
serve five. Milk may take the place
OF the broth in cooking the rice. Skim
milk may be used in many such dishes
to advantage.

all help to extend the general utility
of the hog house. To secure the larg-
est housing space with the least ex-
pense is the goal.
10. Sufficient size to shelter advan-
tageously. The capacity should be con-
sistent with the demands for housing
space.
II. Durability. In general, that build
ing giving the longest continuous serv-
ice Is the most valuable.
II. Reasonably low first cost. Con-
sistent with the service rendered, the
initial cost per pen should be kept low.
IS. Minimum cost of maintenance.
A maximum of satisfactory service for
the lowest possible upkeep charges is
the ideal.
IA. Pleasing appearance. To har-
monte with the general agricultural
surroundings; to be neat in architectu-
raj design; and to be sensible in con-
struction, are the three leading con-
s~iderations in planning for the attrac-
tiveness of the community or other hog
houses.
The hollow tile hog house illustrat-
ed combines to a remarkable extent all
of these desirable features. 1t is a
building % by Sc feet, containing 10
standard-size pens and a feed room.
Direct sunlight is admitted to both
rows of pens by windows set in the
roof. The upper windows light the
pens at the back, and the lower win
doWs those on the neal side. These
window sash and their frames come
in galvanized sheet metal designed in
a way to be weather tight and very
easily put in place on the roof.

ONE SIDED EFFECT
Promises to Be the Next Logical
Spring Experiment.
Fiber silk, Similar 20 That Used for
Sweaters, viii Be Popular for
Sport Suits and Dresses.

The use of jersey weaves or knitted
fabrics in both silk and wool continues
to be a dominant feature of garment
and style development. For veal dur
ing the coming spring season fiber silk,
much on the order of that used for
sweaters, will be used in both sport
suits and dresses. Several textile
houses have brought this fabric out,
giving it fanciful trade names, but it
is nothing more nor less than fiber
silk, which every lne knows is not silk
at all, but which serves as an excellent
imitation and substitute for silk at a
much cheaper price.
The smart little spring frock showp
in the sketch may be developed effec-
lively either in wool jersey or fiber
silk, or it could be made of serge or
gaberdine. The real feature of this
frock is its side fastening arrange
ment, and it is interesting to note that
the fancy for one-sided effects is evil
dent in all lines of outer apparel for
women.
Some of the smartest frocks have
draperies or tunics that fall low at one
side and are scarcely visible at the 9TH
er side, and the same rule applies to
the separate skirt.
Inasmuch as the hip drapery giving
a bOuffant silhouette has had it's day,
and the back flare, or hustle, is also
passing after a brief lease of life, the
one-sided effect is logically the next
experiment. So far many satisfactory
results have been achieved.
The dress shown may be trimmed
with braiding in self or contrasting
color or merely in stitching with heavy
floss. Or if some more elaborate trim

fused light supplemented with direct
sunlight is a happy combination.
4. Shade. The shade of trees can
hardly be improved upon, but provision
should be made in houses for the best
tree substitutes. Shade is most es.
sential in the hot and dry months OF
midsummer, although highly desirable
and effective at other times.
5. Ventilation. An abundance Of
fresh, pure air Of satisfactory humid.
ity. provided without draft, is de.
manded.
6. Sanitation. The cleaning and dis.
injecting of the hog house is impera-
tive. Smooth walls and floors without
inaccessible crevices are to be empha-
sized. Masonry construction offers su-
perior sanitary advantages. The re-
moval of litter is to be encouraged.
Clean, dustless floors encourage
healthfulness, especially inasmuch as
the hog always breathes, eats aud
drinks close to the ground. To have
everything conducive to cleanliness is
correct in principle and in practice.
Z. Safety and comfort. Provide low
sills; even, smooth, but not slippery
floors; wide and relatively high door
ways; li~fe-saving pig tenders; closed
drains; comfortable, roomy pens, and
suitable doors, to avoid unfavorable
consequences.
s. Convenience. The possibilities of
arrangement which may lessen the
time and labor required is to be kept
uppermost in mind. Particular IN
s~ideration is well given to suitable
alleyways, doors and windows; abund.
ant water supply and storage bins; adj
Unstable ventilatOrs and shade devices )
handy litter carriers; feeding trOughS !

nience.

Crack the bones, cut up the giblets and
with the meat put all into three quarts
of water with a bunch of herbs and a
pinch of allspice. Remove the bones,
thicken the gravy, season well and
serve hot.
Other combinations of meat may be
used with the giblets and a smaller
amount will make a good soup for a
family of four.
PURGE of VegetabIes.-Cut a turnip,
a carrot and a potato in thin slices;
add to them a few celery tops, a bay
leaf, a cupful Of tomato and two quarts
of liquid in which beef has been
cooked. Simmer gently for one hour;
press through a fine sieve; return the
mixture to the heat, add a tablespoon
full of fat rubbed with two tablespoon
fuls of flour, stir until it reaches the
boiling point; add a grated onion, a
teaspoOnful of salt and a saltspoonful
of pepper. Serve hot with croutons.

chased.
Waldorf Salad.-Cut the tops from
the blossom end of nice red apples,
coop out the centers with a sharp
edged teaspoon. Cut the apple in cubes
and mix with an equal quantity of cut
up celery, mix with highly seasoned
mayonnaise, squeeze a little lemon
juice Over the apples to keep them
from discoloring before adding the
dressing. Fill the cups, set in nests
of watercress, and serve. French
dressing may be preferred to mayon-
naise, depending upon the kind of a
meal with which it is served.

Timely Economics.

Coming, as the reform does, at the
hour when spring and summer fash
ions are being conceived, the necessity
for being careful with worsted mate
rial brings less hardship than if the
reform had been launched last July.
1t is true that the great mass of peo-
pie who do not live in the South and
Southwest buy a vast quantity of
lightweight worsted clothes for Febru-
airy, March and April; but they are
quite willing to have the worsted en-
livened by chiffon, satin, silk or georg-
cite crepe.
If the women of this country under
stand what is behind the new fashions
they will enter into the spirit of con-
servation with as much eagerness and
jealous desire to do right as they have
in the saving of meat, wheat, sugar
and cereals.

That Which We Do Not See,

That which can be commonly seen
and handled and conceived is inferior
to the eyes by which it is taken in,
and the hands by which it is touched,
and faculties by which it is discovered;
but that which is infinite is known only
to itself. This it is which gives some
notion of God, who is yet beyond all
u conceptiOns-our very incapacity
of fully grasping him affords US the
idea of what he really is. He is pre-
sented to our minds in his transcend
ent greatness, as at once known and
unknown. And this is the browning
guilt of men, that they will not rec
ognize one, of whom they cannot pos
sibly be Observation-Disclosures

AN OLD FASHION is REVIVED
Head Coverings in Shape of Hoods and
Caps Have Returned to Favor,
Coupled With Wartime Simplicity.

Once upon a time women wore loose
head coverings in the evening. That
was before closed limousines and hair
nets. Such bits of comfort and inery
have been discarded for years, but
they have returned to fashion for some
reason, probably connected with the
wal and it's economies, observes a
fashion writer in the Chicago Herald.
They are made in the shape Of hoods,
some astonishingly like Little Red Rid
ing Hoods bonnet, done in sealskin
and scarlet or Italian blue velvet.
Others are caps, gathered tulle in
three or four colors, one layer super
imposed on the other to build a rain
bow foundation.
Again, others look like the Red Cross
nurses cap, fastening at the back,
with broad scarfs of velvet and fur
that protect the neck above the line of
the evening wrap.

The hog house is the building of
most Importance from a standpoint of
direct returns to the farmer. The re-
verse has generally been thought by
the average Western farmer, for it
was generally supposed that all a hog
required was warmth. However it has
been found hat hogs are very sensi-
tive to drafts, poor ventilation and
damp surroundings in cold weather.
That dry, warm, well-ventiIated and
lighted quarters for the hog make sur
prising gains in the profits is now firm

favorable circumstances eats less and
gains more rapidly.
It is the hogs that are provided with
