RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER MAKES
YIELD GREATER THAN CORN
Silage Adapted to Localities Too
Cool for Corn-Yield 20 to 30
Tons Per Acre.

Silage made from Russian sun
flowers has attracted considerable
attention in western Colorado and
parts of Montana. All who have fed
it are very enthusiastic over the re-
suits obtained. For dairy cows,
sheep and beef cattle it is proving
an excellent feed. G. S. Ray, of the
Colorado agricultural college, has
the following to say regarding the
growing of suntiOwers for silage:
'sThe yields obtained from sun
flowers are much greater than from
corn. Twenty to thirty tons per acre
under irrigation are the ordinary
yields for suntiOwers while corn I'M
Ter the same conditions will yield
but ten to twelve tons. In Mon
tana, % to SO tons of sunf!Owers per
acre are reported. The Nevada ex-
Deriment station harvested % tons
of sunflOWer silage per acre, while
corn in the same experiment made
about IA tons On dry farms, sun.
flowers have produced from to S.5
tons Otsilagc per acre.
"Sunf1Owers also seem we'll adapt
ed to localities too cool for corn.
They will make silage crop in a
shorter season than will corn. They
may be planted very early in the
spring; light frOsts after the plants
are up are not injurious
"Sunf1Owers are usually drilled in
3iA foot rows with the plants inch
es apart in the row. Planting is
done with an ordinary corn planter
or a grain drill Where grain drill
is used, a sufficient number of feed
cuts must be stopped up to give
the required distance between the
rows. On irrigated land, or 8
pounds of seed per acre are used,
while ) pounds are sufficient on dry
farms. Seed bed preparation, culti-
vation, and irrigation are practically
the same as for corn.
"SunflOWers are ready for the silo
when the seed is in the milk stage.
They should be harvested with q
corn binder Tor by hand if the acre
age is smalD and run through a
silage cutter which will chop the
plants into pieces u to W inch in
length. To prevent spOilage, thor
ough packing in the silO is very
essential. Ordinarily, no water
need be added to the silage as the
plants contain sufficient amount
themselves"

For The
Homemaker's Eve
Dress Accessories

A separate slip-on vestee makes
a plain gown quite dressy. These
vestees are made long enough to
come down below the waistline
and are usually one with the collar.
They are slipped on over the dress
and held in place by the belt.
Brocaded silks, piques and corded
silks are used for them.
Pleatings or Pierette frills in
white have been very popular with
round necked gowns all winter.
Many of the spring gowns and
blouses also show a frill at the
neck. Victory red is especially
popular as are various shades of
yellow.
Corded frills outlining pockets
and applied at the bottom of the
skirt to give the poplar hobble eff
feet are seen on many of the new
and made over spring dresses.
Fruit trimming is again worn on
the modest hats. A combination of
fruit and flowers in many colors is
used effectively on many hats.

Vegetables are Blood and Bone
Builders
Vegetables are necessary to keep
us we'll and properly nourished.
Vegetables are blood and bone
builders and we must therefore
watch our diet and see that we
eat plenty of them.
A diet enriched by fruits and
vegetables has a tendency to pre-
vent or correct anaemia, to pre-
vent constipation and its attend
ant ills, and to improve general
health conditions in that it increas-
es the amount of iron furnished to
the blood and helps to prevent a
putrefactive condition in the in
testine.
Those cereals and cereal foods
that contain the larger part of the
grain should be given preference
in the dietary.
While such a ceretal food as
white flour retains all the original
energy yielding ingredients and
most of the muscle building ma
terials, it has lost in the milling
process the substances occurring
in the outer layers which stimulate
the activity of the intestines and
which help in such body functions
as bone building and the formation
of red blood corpuscles.
White bread is entirely whole
some if thought is given to in
Guiding, in forms other than bread,
the substances lost by the flour
during the milling process.
This may be accomplished by u.s.
ing fruits and vegetables for their
laxative properties, milk for it's
lime and eggs for their iron.

CONSERVATION
APPLIED TO HOUSE.
HOLD PROBLEMS
Saving in Labor Just as Neces.
sary as Saving in Food

The world war has added new words
to our vocabulary and given to other
words added or different significance.
Conservation, for example, has taken
OF. new meaning-has in fact be-
come in a very real sense the watch
word of America. This does not mean
conservation in food alone.
To the housewise conservation is
synonymous with doing things well
and easily and in the quickest time
possible. Doing them easily is con-
seypation of strength, and doing them
with the right kind of instruments or
utensils is conservation of both tin e
and strength.
Now that the value of the vacuum
cleaner has been established many
women need no longer plunge through
a mad swirl of broom-corn dust when
cleaning day arrives. Simply by at
taching the cleaner to the plug with a
minimum of effort, dirt is mysterious
ly transported into large bag. And
best of all there is no after dust to
settle silently on the living room table
The fireless cooker is another great
convenience Now that there are the
extra pans for the cooker, ranging
from one to four quarts in capacity.
the housewife is enabled to prepare a
larger variety of food with the mini
mum expense of fuel and very little
work.
Our grandmothers used the heavy
iron roasting pans, which produced
Just the right brown and rich juici-
ness, because they kept eternal vigil
lance over the cook stove. That is the
reason why we should not go on using
the same kind of a pan. The newer,
self-basting roasting pan insures an
even browning on all sides and pre-
vents burning. When the roast is
served the hostess who lacks cook

Rhubarb

Rhubarb, known to our grand
mothers as pie plant is one of the
first of the growing things to make /
it's appearance in the spring. Used
alone or in combination with fruits
and preserves it makes a welcome
change at this time of the year.
A variation from the usual two
crust pie is the Rhubarb Meringue.
The recipe follows: One pint rhu-
barb, cut in small pieces; two
thirds cupful sugar, one table
spoonful cornstarch, one-third cup
full cold water, one teaspoonful
melted butter, plain pastry. Mix
the rhubarb and the sugar, and
cook the sauce until it is thick.
Add the cornstarch dissolved in
the water, and cook the mixture
until it is clear. Add the melted
butter. Invert pie pan, and cover
it with plain pastry, fitting the pan
carefully. Trim off the edges If
necessary, prick the top with a
fork, and set the pan on a tin sheet
in order that the edge of the crust
may not touch the floor of the oven.
Bake the pastry in quick oven for
about fifteen minutes, or until it is

Then try soaking the spot or gar
ment in two tablespoonfuls of
household ammonia to gallon of
water. If some trace of stain still
remains, sponge with peroxide of
hydrogen. If stains are on thick,
unwashable material apply paste
of starch and water; let dry and
brush out.
Lemon juice and salt remove the
average rust stain.
Sponge paint, tar or pitch stains
with turpentine or benzine; then
wash with hot soapsuds.
For stains from acid, use am
monia or chloroform.
For chocolate stains - soak in
coal oil and wash in cold water.
Coffee stains yield to boiling
water if treated when fresh.
Fruit stains should be soaked
when fresh in sweet milk or oxalic
acid solution.
Grass stains should be rubbed
with molasses, then washed with
soap and water.
Grease spots should be rubbed
with French chalk or Fuller:
earth.
For ink use salt, cornmeal
magnesia. Use dry first, then tr,
paste by mixing any one of thes
with water. If dry absorbents fail
try milk or oxalic acid solution.

are as follows:
l. One part sour apple juice,

2. One part currant juice, six

3. One part red plum juice, one
part sour apple juice, three parts

WOMEN AND MONEY
BY Chancellor James r. Day, Syracuse
University.

The balance which self denial holds
in the home is the balance of pros.
perity and peace. Here woman has
her place and office. Is she equal to
self denial? Can she wait?
There is nothing so persuasive, so
irresistible, as the love of man for
the wife whom he loves. No money
is spent with SO much Joy as the money
that goes to her and the children.
Happy is that man whose wife loves
him too much to permi+ him to be fool
ish when he should be wise, who is so
judicial in her temperament. so prudent
in her domestic economy, as to add her
decisive voice to the months allow
ance, and so brave as to insist that
the expenditure must always be at
least little less than the income. She
ought to say:
Il am not seeking o" consenting to
support. There will be two of us. If
cannot earn as much as you, | can
save more. We will plan together. |
will be the home side of your life"
Since Chancellor Day uttered those
words the United States government
has made it possible for the wife to
add her decisive voice to the months
allowance" War Savings Stamps is
the way.
