Hogs In the Apple Orchard.

Keeping hogs In the apple orchard
was 90 satisfactory last season that 1t
will be prsctised again. One orchard
that bore fruit for the first time last
year, good sized trees, has quite heavy
turf. As soon a. the grass on it is we'll
started, shall turn In hogs enough to
Craze closely and to root It all over. It
is already fenced on three sides, 90 We
only need to tack wire fencing onto the
trees along one side. Posts would be
better, but can't spare time or labor for
that.
Our 10-acre apple orchard has bee q
cultivated for years, until the soil lacked
humus and washed freely. It was sown
to winter rye and clover, which were
hogged down last summer, without
gnsWipg the trees, the rs hogs worked
over every inch Of the ground, especial
" In early fall, when there seemed to be
many worms and grubs in the earth.
The hogs ate the windfall apples, the
trees bore heavily and were most
thrifty.
Part of the orchard was sown to sweet
clover last fall, another part to winter
rye and winter vetch and the remainder
is being sown to peas and oats this
spring. These will make good hog pas
ture In succession. Will follow the
sweet clover with crimson clover or
Sudan grass, for late summer and early
fall feed. After the rye has been grazed
of, will plow and SOW to barley for
late fall pasture. In this way, We are
going to get Q lot of feed for the hogs at
comparatively small cost. Will SOW to
winter rye and vetch In September for
early pasture next spring.
The hogs get grain in q self-feeder,
the amount depending upon the condi-
tion Of tho pasture. This method saves
all hand labor in feeding. and keeps the
orchard In splendid condition with
minimum labor costs. In few years
when times become normal and labor
cheaper, I may return to the former
system Of cultivating the orchard, but
the all.hog method suits both the
orchard and my pocketbook just now

Az to Butter Fat.

Milk and cheese, and both OF them,
but above all-fat, fat, fail That's the
cry heard from every front, the call
made back to tho folks ct homo In every
country, every nation. We here In
America must meet the demand, must
supply the fat that does the soldier the
most good. And that fat is butter fat
the easily digestible, the vitali1ing,
the body-satisfying fat OF the dairy
COW.
This call for fat 10 90 loud, so insistent,
that It must be needed, even though II
means fluid milk converted into butter
channels. But, above al, It means say.
ing millions OF pounds of butter fat
now annaully lost by out-of-date meth.
DDS. The amount of butter fat lost In
this country bv using crooks and tin
pals, gravity, make-shift cans for stor-
Ing milk and collecting cream, is 90
great a. to stagger the mind.
Furthermore, In these days when but
ter fat is 90 sorely needed 1t is almost
crime to let this waste 20 to the pigs
and calves. A pound Of butter fat 10
worth more today than ever before, and
that same pound has many substitutes
In corn, linseed meal and middlings at Q
| fraction Of the cost, for pigs and calves.
Don't waste Il, please; humanity IL call
ing for every pound. Fling away primi-
tive equipment, get good cream sep
ator, and then be pleased with the in
creased quantity of butter fat you will
get, be enriched with the more money
that comes to the farm pocket, be glad
that you are adding to the worlds butter
fat supply.
Remember this: The cost Of sep
arator at present prices Of butter and
butter fat soon will be returned. The
saving of this fat when cream separator
is used will pay the separator cost In q
very few months. 1t will pay that cost
even IL you have only two or three COWS
In your herd. The cream separator to-
day is an economy. It is to dsirying
what the grain separator Ia to wheat or
oats. It is to the creamery or cream
route what the threshing machine is to
grain farming.
Whether you make butter, sell cream
to the cream wagon, or ship that cream
away, get cream separator; not because
someone tells you to do 80, but to get
more butter fat, which means more
money, more profit. II you are trying
to get along with half worn-out
machine, you are wasting precious but
ter fat. Every machine that runs poor
~ or is giving trouble is wasting cream.
You can't afford to keep such machine
on your farm another day. It's costing
you more to use 1t than 1t would to buy
new one.
These statements are not the opinions
of one man; they are the experiences of
good dairymen In every state, the re-
ports OF every experiment stest, sthe ab-
solute findings Of every dairy investigator
dairy farmer, dairy worker. One and
all, then, togetber-save and conserve
the butter fat. This means you, your
neighbors, everybody. 1t means to the
dump pile with the crooks and In the
devices. It means the use of one dairy
tool that will collect all the fat-it means
q cream separator on every dairy farm.

Since il is expected that the every
day serviceable dress of today, will be
quiet as to color and simple In con-
struction, great demands are made up
on the ingenuity of designers. Their
cIeyerness must come to the rescue
TO redeem frocks from somberness and
lift them out Of the commonplace. In
the face of these restrictions, they
have done wonders with the means at
hand. We are more charmed with their
original ways of doing things than with
any of their past achievements. They
have thought out ways Of combining
black with gray or beige or any neu-
trail color, that more than reconcile
us to the absence of bright color. 9th
er dark colors are managed with the
same cleverness.
The dark blue, onepiece frock shown
in the picture is fine example of good
designing. Imagine it in velours or
duvetyn with gray duvetyn providing
the needed contrast. A band of the
gray set in about the neck makes place
for a cut-out applique in blue. The
front Of the bodice is extended below
the waistline and two large disks OF
the gray cloth find the best of posi-

The veil, long loved Of women, some
times undergOes a short period of re-
tirement. but is never wholly forgot
ten or neglected. Except for small
face wells and much abbreviated mo-
tor wells, the season just passing has
not occupied itself with this particu-
lar prerogative of womankind. Even
SO the small-face veil, in considerable
variety, is a fact of every well-regu-
lated wardrobe. 1t is often incOnspicu-
GUS to the point Of being nearly invis-
ible. The plain, open-mesh varieties
of finest threads almost reach the van
fishing point. But signs and tokens
are pointing to the return of wells, and
suddenly they have appeared on all
four corners at once.
Some rather startling things happen
to the face when wells of fine mesh
that are hardly discernible, indulge in
one or two bold figures in applique
or embroidery. These figures can be
seen long before the veil itself comes
into view and they play curious tricks
on the eyes that follow them. Except
for the plain mesh face veil they are
the most popular Of the wells Of today.
An example of this bit Of feminine
waywardness appears in the picture,
showing a next-to-inyisible veil with
two large and aggressive clover leaves
on 1t. One Of them obliterates about
half Of the mouth and the other threat
