YOU HANDLE EVERY CORN EAR
FIVE TIMES--LET HOGS HELP

Have you ever thought about how
many times every ear Of corn has to
be handled in the ordinary course of
things? Here are the essential
landings:
1. When the ear is pulled off the
stalk and thrown into the wagon bed
2. When it is thrown from the
wagon bed into the crib:
g. When the husk is removed from
the ear, either in the field or in the
crib.
l. When the basSet is filled at the
crib to be taken to the horse stall or
hog pen.
. g.. When the corn is fed to the
animal.
With labor-saving systems the
number may be reduced by one or
two. Under certain systems of har-
vesting, on the other hand, it is fire.
qitently increased by one or two. But
five will be about the average num-
Der.
Now five landings of an ear of
corn, with farm labor at present
prices, cost enough to make a pretty
considerable chargB item against the
value of the ear.
Every farmer doubtless, does more
or less thinking about how to avoid
it. -
Under general farm conditions the
log is the solution--not for too much
of the corn grown on the farm, of
course, but for a considerable por-
ton of it, enough to help out the
labor supply materially. ...,.
Plan Before Com is Laid by
The hog does not merely reduce
the number of landings. He elimi-
mates handling completely. All that
is necessary is to open the gate and
drive the hogs into the field with a
good fence, around it. They clean

/ The joss has disappeared from the
! famous Chinese temple at No. 16
LONGER does the symbol of China $
, old religion occupy the place Of
prominence in the council hall on the
top floor of the old building in the
helrt of Chinatown.
A Christian clergyman, the Rev.
Lee To, heads the Chinese associa-
ton. which now holds sway in the
temple, and presides at the confer
ences, and the idols are not in iveW.
1t is only another and one of the
final steps that for the last decade

like most of the other Americanized
Chinese, have cast aside most of the
old traditions. The society is regard
ed as. the most powerfuH organiza-

methods of the old tongs with a sys =

Lee To was elected head of the as

carried through several changes that

OF these was the elimination Of the

out the sum total of hog feed. The
blowing under of the corn stalks and
the vegetation left by the peas or
beans and rape adds to the soil the
humus necessary to increased crop
yields.
Six hogs for each acre of corn to
be hogged off is about the right num-
ber though it should be reduced TIC
five or even to four if the yield OF
corn is low. That is another matter
that should be given thought in adj
vance OF turning in the hogs, in or
der that enough hogs may be on hand
to eat up al 1.-The corn. yet not Sc
many. thar they will exhaust it toe
Oae of Economical Systems
In some instances 1t is advisable
that a part OF the field be set off by a
temporary fence and the hogs not
allowed to cover too much ground al
one time.
1t requires six hogs about 60 days
to eat the corn grown on an acre OF
good ground. 1t might become neces-
sary. to sell or kill them before the
work is finished. The temporary
fence, in such a case, would leave the
corn that the hogs had not consum-
cd still unchanged and it could be
gathered in the usual way. a good
enough fence can be made by setting
anchor posts at the sides OF the field
stretching 25-inch woven wire and
tying it to the hills of corn. BROOD
soWs with fall filters should follow
fattening hogs to gather up what lit
tie corn has been left.
r. The hogging down of corn, properly
managed and combined when feas-
:ble, with; hogging down rye and pas
turing clover. results in one of the
most economical and efficient of al
farm systefnSg according to the de-
partment,oeHp &c.. ..-..lu
The department does not stop at

with hogs, 1t asserts that, under
present conditiQnG almost any kind
of meat animals can be used 10 cd
vantage in harvesting practically
any crop. Both cattle and sheep can
be used in harvesting corn. Sheep
make particularly good use of coyn
with peas or soy, beans between the
rows or broadcast at the last Gull
tivation. The use of cattle for har-
vesting corn succeeds well if some
hogs are turned in later to clean up
what the cattle may have left on
the gorund.
Grass crops can be utilized to ad-
vantage by pasturing with sheep,
and much less labor is required than
when the crop is cut for hay. Beef
steers consume large amounts Of
clover or alfalfa in the field and
harvest the crop rapidly, usually
with good profit The labor requir-
and young stock are.~also very eff
fective in pasturing clover and al
falfa. Usually some care to pre-
vent bIoating is necessary when the
cattle are first turned in.
A field of soy beans may be mar
vested successfully with lambs. 1t
not only affords abundant forage,
but is free from the parasites COM

bean crop is equally desirable for
hogs and may be harvested by them
either as forage or after the beans
have ripened In either case the la
Sor of cutting, shocking, and haul

Harking Back to the

NOTHING but a change of sill
houette, which is surely coming,
will settle this hectic discussion
about skirts, because the bouffancy
of a skirt must from an artist:
standpoint adjust it's length. So
should skirts be billowing, and
there is more than a hint that they
will be, We may look for some in

gives an inkling of revision in
fashions to the days of Louis XVI
appears in the high powdered
coiffures seen at the opera in Paris.
The last words from Paris come
to US from the houses of Callot and
Cheruit. These two houses create
clothes that are nothing short of
works of art. To buy a model from
either of these grandes maisons is
an investment. The Maison Cheruit

Modesty Merely Is
A Point of View

NOW, as never before, there is a
chance for every woman to be
we'll gowned, for the best dressed
woman is the one who wears what
looks best on her and not what she
has seen some one else wear with
good effect. This idea associates it,
self in my mind with the discus
sion about the length of skirts, and
the only way for each woman to
settle this controversy for herself is
to wear her skirts the number of
inches from the ground that she
finds most becoming.
In no way do we better get our
proportions than by the length of
our skirts, and a woman dressed out
o. proportion is woman badly
dressed. AS for the assertion that
the very abbreviated skirts worn in
Paris are immodest, that is entirely
point Of view. The most modest
women in the world wear trousers.
