cmption board Saturday afternoon and
examined as TO why he mutilated the
ouestionnaire he returned to'thc board.
The questionnalre was so badly multi

members Of the board expressed tho
opinion that Heliberg had maliciously

class, is accustomed to keeping his
own counsel. Mr.. Hellberg said, altho
the elder Hellberg did know that his
son had stamped his QUESTIONABLE. In
asking him about this the young man
replied that ne did so for fear that the
sheetes might become separated. When
he became aware Of the facts Mr.;

CHICKS ON A GRAIN RATION
Superior Method for Forcing Growth
and Maturity Of Cockerels-
Mixture for Mash.

Chicks do well on a grain ration,
but they do great deal better when
once they are started on wet-mash
ration and are fed alternately two
feeds of wet mash per day with three
feeds Of grain, the latter being given
morning, noon and night and the wet
mash being given about ten in the
morning and three in the afternoon.
For forcing growth and maturing
the cockerels for market as quickly
as possible such a method of feeding
is far superior to the ordinary straight
grain ration method. The following
mixture makes very palatable mash :
Equal parts by weight of cornmeal,
bran, middlings. corn gluten feed and
commercial meat scrap.

BELTS KNITTED IN SWEATERS
Models Of This Kind More Graceful
on Slender, Youthful Figures
Than on the Large Woman.

Many of the new sweaters have the
belt knitted In and these models are
very graceful on slender, youthful fig
ures; but the large woman looks bet
ter In a sweater with separate belt,
buttoned or tied like q sash. The lat
ter soft Of belt may be adjusted to
suit the lines of the figure and the
knitted coat does not cling as closely
as one with the waistline drawn IN
by puzzled band.
When the belt Is knitted. the sllp-on
model is favored and for autumn
these slip-on sweaters have sleeves
and very often deep sailor collars.
: A very good looking model of heavy
white wool Is purle din large ribs the
whole length Of the sweater. The
sleeve, set In separately. Is puzzled al
so, and the wide rib makes the sweat
er warm and substantial looking for
autumn wear. Wide and narrow
stripes In purple border the sleeve, the
lower edge of the collar and the waist
band, which Is set into the sweater
with smaller needles.
Brown sweaters are considered
smart this season and a popular model
Is of brown English mohair wool
which has a rough surface like an
CORA. The belt and trimmings are Of
brown Scotch wool with stripes In
lighter brown.
Very high colors are favored In silk
sweaters and the best models have a
corrugated stitch forming heavy rib:
Sashes are wider than ever and are
trimmed with deep fringe; and sweat
er pockets are very large with point
at the lower edge, covered button
finishing the tip of the point.

hibited pen at New York poultry
show, when they attracted attention
as q utility and fancier's fowl. They
have been growing in favor ever since.
They are good foragers, excellent lay
ers, and the hens are docile and make
the best Of settlers and mothers, though
they are not perslstently broody. The
chicks are very hardy, mature early
and begin laying younger than many
others. They lay as good all winter
when eggs bring high prices.
The standard weight Of the cock Is
81A pounds, the cockerel 7h pounds,
the hen 61s and the pullet pounds.
They have long, deep chests, meaty
bodies, yellow skins and are free from
black pin-feathers, making them good
fowls for market or table use. Their
meat has fine sweet taste. Their
beautiful color and fine carriage make
them good fancier's fowl.

CROP TO PRECEDE ALFALFA
Ohio Experiment Station Recommends
Potatoes, Since Soil ls Usually
Well FertiIixed.

For sections where early potatoes
succeed, the Ohio experiment station
recommends this crop as one of the
best to precede alfalfa, since the land
Is usually well fertilized and MANFRED,
and frequent cultivation kills nearly
all weeds before alfalfa is seeded.
The potatoes can be harvested for late
July and early August alfalfa seed
ings, and good seeded can be pre-
pared merely by disking and harrow
ing.
Field peas have also been found
satisfactory when cut for hay as Q
preparatory crop for alfalfa. Such
midsummer seedlings of alfalfa have
been found by the experiment station
more satisfactory than spring seed
ing In oats or barley. Most alfalfa
failures are attributed to competition
with weeds and to nurse crops that
provide excessive shade and leave too
little moisture and plant food for the
young alfalfa.
