teen days. All thrashing is completed
in seasonable time, so that the grain
may be saved to best advantage.
There are two general methods Of
ring cooperation, the most common In
volving the hiring of thrashing out
ft, the other its purchase.
Thrashing rings are beneficial inas-
much as the thrashing calendar in a
neighborhood may be so arranged that
the work can be carried out with the
least possible loss of time in moving
| from farm to farm. AS job nears
completion the first men through,
knowing their assignments in the next
place, may go there Immediately and
have the grain ready to thrash by the
tine the outfit arrives and Is set up.
No time Is lost either in contracting
for an outfit or in securing a thrash
Ing crew. Certain men may be used
to best advantage by assigning them
to one kind of work for the season.
Unless the weather man prevents
thrashing continues until all the Jobs
are completed In the circle, and thus
little extra work Is required In shift
ing wagon boxes or hay leaders. Usu-
ally the thrashing season Is greatly
shortened and this favors the timely
completion of the subsequent fall
work, such as plowing, seeding, dis
tributing manure, and so on. The
thrashtng ring reduces the work Of the
housewife, as there are less men to
feed during the harvest season.

amounts to $1,000 or $4,000. When II

equipment, 1t may not be advisable to
buy.
Thrashing for the various members
of the ring is performed on business
basis, an average days work being re-
garded as 1000 bushels of oats, OF
about 1000 bushels Of wheat or rye

A frock of unusual charm, and one
that might easily be made at home, is
of white chiffon fowered with pink
roses. This is made like front and
back apron falling full length over an
overskirt of plain white chiffon. These
panels are bound with rose ribbons of
a tone to blend with the flowers in the
fabric and are tied together at inter-
walls down the skirt by bows of the rib
bon. Around the very low-cut neck
line falls bit of fine white lace shad-
owing a rose ribbon which ties under
the lace at the front in bow.
The same treatment Is carried out
on the very short sleeves. The lace
makes turnback cuffs under which
goes the ribbon. The Idea is very sim
pie but clever. 1t is just the sort Of
little dress that, seen or described,
makes you feel that you want to set
to work and make one, because in
every feminine heart Is the creative
clothes instinct. which, If fostered to
any degree, is bound to find express
sion.

similar factors have caused grain
growers in the corn belt to organize
cooperative thrashing rings for the
purchase, maintenance and efficient
operation of thrashng machinery.
Benefits of the thrashing ring are
shown In an instance reported by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. One large thrashing ring which
has been particularly successful and
which has met all expenses and paid

RATIO MAKES FOR HARMONY
Peculiar Arrangement of Chinese Musi.
cal Instruments Said to Be Work
of Chinese Emperor.

The characteristic musical instru-
ment Of the Chinese is a series of bam-
boo tubes, the longest of which meas
ureS about nine inches, and of which
the remainder diminish in length at
a regular ratio, each being just two
thirds the length of the one before.
This arrangement was devised by the
Chipese-they say, by the Emperor
Huapg-Ti-on the following principle:
Between heaven and earth there is per-
feet harmony. Now, the number three
is the emblem of heaven and two of
earth. If then two pipes or tubes be
made in the proportion Of three to
two, they will harmonic in tone as
perfectly as earth and heaven. So the
base tube of the instrument was made
nine inches long and the second two
thirds that length, or six inches. OF
course, the third has to be two-thirds
the length of the second, or four
inches; and so on. The result was
that the note of the second tube was
what we call an interval of a fifth
above that of the first, that of the third
fifth above the second, and SO on
through the whole range.
