There is no prospect now of respite
from the necessity to knit and if such
a respite were in sight there are many
women who would not take advantage
OF it. This knitting for the soldiers
turns out to be q fascinating Occupa-
ton that quietS the nerves and salts
Res the hearts desire to do something
worth while.
There is no end to the demand for
WARM sox, for scarfS and sweaters and
helmets, and there is no limitation to
the Willingness Of women to make
fheln: so we are destined to go on
knitting. Even the end of the war will
hardly see the end of our devotion to
tsae good Old-fashioned art. BY that
finse we shall have become addicted to
a-and also to the necessity of being
xSeE1i.
The knitting bag is the outward and
visible sign of our patriotic industry
ansl every day brings out new ones.
The last arrivals are somewhat smaller
than the sweater bags that were so
numerous in the summer and fall fol-
lowed by knitting bags patterned after
the.rn. Satin and ribbon are used for
making many of these new bags. in
nIain and printed weaves and in bro
ended and embroidered patterns. They
srp designed so that they can be cas-
ny carried on the arm and to make
the knitting so accessible that every
where their wearers sit down for a
quarter of an hour. or even less time
abe knitting goes faithfully on. Three
ribbon bags are shown in the group
illustrated. The largest bag is made
sf roSe-cOlNred ribbon in five strips,
herringbone-stitche together. The end
strips are trimmed in 4 curve and the
edges are finished with a narrow plait-
lug of inch-Wiide satin ribbon matching

FEEDING BONE TO CHICKENS
Much Depends Upon Purpose, Age Of
Fowl anS Condition of Material
Valuable In Ration.

The method Of feeding bone to poul
try largely depends upon the purpose
Of the feeding, the age Of the fowl and
the condition Of the bone. Bone meal
or ground bone should not be consid-
cred as an exclusive source of animal
food. 1t is valuable in the ration for
protein, but not to the extent Of meat
or fish scraps, which should also be
used but in smaller quantities. 1t is
chiefly valuable as a source of lime
and phosphates, being especially valu-
able as muscle and bone builder for
young chicks and broilers. Green bone
usually has some meat attached and
the portion Of meat or fish scraps can
be reduced if it is fed.

GOOD SHELTER WILL
SAVE CATTLE FEEDS
Careful Consideration Must Be
Given to Relative Cost and
Value of Feed.

(By H. H. KILDEE, University Farm,
st. Paul, Mimi
Concentrates and roughages make
very costly fuel with which to warm
dairy cows sheltered on the leeward
side Of wire fence these cold wlntry
days. Proper shelter decreases the
fuel, feed cost, and results in increased
milk production.
Successful dairy farmers do not
overfeed, and do not feed from dirty
pals, but they do feed regularly the
heifer calves that are to grow into
profitable cows. They also provide
dry, well-lighted, and ventilated pens.
Careful consideration must be given
to the relative cost and value of feed
stuffs this winter, and the dairyman
with silagr, roots and clover and al
falfa hay has even more advantage
than usual.

American Power Already Felt.
If Germany fears American military
prowess and wants peace before the
American army is in the field, she Is
taking a long view. But the blockade,
and the financial power of the United
States, are already making themselves
felt. The popular feeling in France
and England that our soldiers and
ships are going to do great things in
a few months is too optimistic; but it
is probable that Britons and French
men do not sufficiently realize what
has been done by American bankers,
and by the stOppage of supplies to neu-
trails which during the whole war have
filtered into Germany in enormous
quantities.

DRIED BEET PULP is
GOOD AS STOCK FEED
Almost Equal to Corn in Feeding
Value and Much Cheaper,
Says Colorado Expert.
nv CHARLES I. BRAY, Colorado Agri-
cultural College Fort Collinsl

by CHARLES T. BRAY, Colorado Agri-
7 cultural College, Fort Collins.)
Cattle feeders should make consider
able use of dried beet pulp for da'ry
COWS and fat stock. Eastern dairymen
ship large quantities of dried beet pulp
for the use of their dairy cows, Paying
much higher prices than need 10 be
paid in the West. The dry pulp rehen
soaked with water swells up to three
or four times it's dry bulk, and Is chen
as good a succulent feed as silag'' or
roots. Many of the high-record aws
In eastern herds have this dry Seet
pulp as part of their daily ration
For feeding steers, the dried pulp
Is almost, if not quite, equal in feed
ing value to corn, though it is not
quite as palatable and cattle may not
eat quite as much Of it. The sugar
factory at Brighton, Colo, is being
equipped with drier this year. Since
beet pulp is being priced at $50 ton,
it should prove very economical feed,
as barley and corn will probably be
around $43 and $50.

Rich Shades of Color.

Among the colors which dyers have
produced of late are the various
shades of red, including beetroot.
They have also found an odd purple.
These shades will be seen largely in
winter tailored suits, and in millinery
they are attractive, for nearly every
woman can wear velvet hat in the
beetro0t shade. If a gray gown is

rough appearance, indicate relatively
large amount of waste and cheaper
cuts in proportion to valuable meat.
Quality.
Quality is an evidence of refinement
as opposed to coarseness. Usually 1t Is
associated with good breeding. Quail
ity is important in the mutton sheep
class because it is associated also with
ability to fatten rapidly, and because
with sheep OF good quality the percen-
tage of waste is lower than with sheep
of inferior quality. Good quality is
indicated by head and ears of me-
dunn size which appear lean and clean
cut: fine, dense bone of medium size;
mellow skin, pink in color; soft, silky
hair on face and legs and those por-
tons of the ears not covered by wool.
Indications of lack of quality are u
general coarseness as shown by
large, rough head; coarse, large ears;
large, open frame, with coarse bone
and rough joints; thick, wrinkly
skin covered with heavy, greasy wool,
or a coat of wool that is harsh and
coarse, and containing more or less
kemp.
Condition.
The term condition or finish
when used in connection with mutton
sheep refers to the degree of fairness.
Fat animals are preferred by the
butcher because they dress a higher
percentage of edible meat than do thin
animals; their carcasses present a bet
ter appearance; they lose less weight
in refrigeration and cooking; they pos
sess better curing and keeping quail
ties; and the edible quality of the meat
is improved when considerable
amount of fat is distributed through
out the lean. A good mutton sheep
will have a smooth finish; that is, the
fat will not be in punches, but have an
even distribution over the body.

one just what conditions are necessary,
Briefly these conditions are, good
warm construction, tight windows, pre-.
ferably Of double glass, tight-fittlng
doors, suitable intakes provided for let
ting in fresh air, and then one or more
warmly constructed, properly located
fues extending from near the floor to
a point above the highest part of the
roof. With these conditions, the heat
from the animals warns up the air In
the flue and this creates circulation,
just as starting fire in stove does,
and in this way the foul and damp air
is taken out and fresh, dry air ado
mitted.

Embroidery on Velour.

Women are used to wool embroidery
on street suits. And now they find
floral designs, worked in silk, on suits
of velour-foral designs such as once
could have been considered suitable
only for centerpieces!

The first evidences or the concrete
war were available last spring. Profit
ing by the lessons Of the Somme, the
Germans installed thousands Of mix
ing machines behind their lines, and
began constructing the little "pill box
es," as the troops call them, or ca
moufiaged blockhouses built of blocks
of concrete ten and twelve feet thick,
big enough to hold garrisons of twenty
or thirty men, with narrow Sits to per-
nit machine-gun fire and flame throw
ing.
These pill boxes are the backbone OF
the German defensive system today.
They are so strong that nothing but a
direct hit from the heaviest kind of
shell will demolish them. They shed
ordinary field gun and hOwitzer shells
like raindrops. Next to the pill box,
the ruined house now proves the hard
est nut to crack. Steel Orders are
placed across the cellar, then upon
them are poured many feet of concrete,
and below crouches the garrison, safe
against bOmbardment, with machine
guns, bombs, and emergency rations in
case they are cut off. Whole days are
sometimes required to reduce these re-
doubts, unless cases Of high explosive
can be brought up to settle them.
Shell holes are also concreted, and con-
nected by underground passages, invis-
ible, unlike the trenches, from hostile
airplanes.

SYMPTOM AMONG
 THE STRICKEN.

Dr. George K. Stephens spent Sun day at Swifton, where he had been called to investigate the alarming conditions reported there from in fluenza. On arriving there he found about four hundred cases, and stated what was all the more pitiful, was that the physicians were among those stricken and of course were unable to look after the many sick ones. Dr. Stephens wired Little Rock for phy- sicians and nurses to go to Swifton and immediately Dr. Cooper and one nurse were dispatched. More nurses were expected this afternoon. Mrs. Spitzer is there and Dr. Stephens hopes to be able to go again this af- ternoon. He states that the people in that vicinity are vehy Respondent and have almost given up hope, but every aid that can be given will be extended them.
