KILL OUT PERENNIAL WEEDS
Quack Grass and Canada Thistle Are
Most Troublesome and Offer
Greatest Resistance.

Perennial weeds offer the greatest
resistance and require more thorough
and persistent effort to destroy them.
Two of the most troublesome of our
common weeds are quack grass and
Canada thistle. The former may be
distinguished from other grasses If It's
Characteristic features are known.
Whatever method will destroy quack
grass will also kill Canada thistle or
any other perennial weed.
Following or cultivation without a
crop is the most certain method Of
eradication on large areas and may
be used TO good advantage except
on sandy soils and those continuously
wet or very porous. Success depends
upon the depth of blowing and fire.
quent cultivation. The prevention Of
all leaf-growth In weeds means their
certain death. Certain cropping sys-
TENS will usually be successful with
quack grass.

To Clean Doeskin Gloves.

To clean light gray doeskin gloves
let the gloves soak in a saucer with
sufficient gasoline to cover them; take
out, do not squeeze, but let the dirty
LIQUID drop off. Lay on thick clean
cloth, and with dry piece Of rag rub
down, working from the wrist to the
fingers. Constantly change the sur.
face of the rag, for as soon as 1t gets
dirty 1t is apt to smear them. Afte.
this, II the gloves are not quite clean,
put them through the same process
again and hang In the air.

FISH MEAL GOOD AS
SUPPLEMENTAL FEED
Excellent in Hog, Poultry or
Dairy Rations.
Bureau Of Chemistry Knowing High
Protein Content Of Scrap Has
Been Active In Converting
Material Into Food.

The common domestic pig will never
be able 10 write a book on table man.
ners but he knows how to order a
meal as well as anyone. He is In a
fair way TO demand fish course to
supplement his Salad and vegetable
diet. He will take his fish in the form
of fish meal, the refined by-product
made from sound. wholesome raw
material ut the sardine, tuna, and sal
mon canneries, or from the menhaden.
The fish meal is not to be confused
with FISH scrap" Il coarser by-product
much used for fertilizer the meal is
made from clean, sound material and
is intended TO be used as food for cat.
tie and hogs. Formerly, the cannery
waste was all made into "scrap" for
fertilizer purposes, hut the bureau of
chemistry, United States department
of agriculture. knowing the extremely
high protein content of the scrap, has
been active in converting this material
into a high-grade protein feed. The
cleaned, selected portion is ground to a
fine, palatable meal which may be
used TO replace tankage in hog. poul-
try. or dairy rations.
Fish meal has been recommended
as a supplementary ration before now.
but popular prejudice against a badly
prepared product has discouraged its
use. The department of agriculture
has proved by feeding experiments
that fish meal equals the high-priced
tankage as a ration ingredient, and
better methods of selecting and milling
have removed the causes of prejudice.
The oil content of the meal adds
materially TO its feeding value. So far
the experiments have shown that the
meal does not faint the animal prod
uct, whether IL be pork, butter, eggs,
or milk. Moreover, by diverting the
fish meals TO his animals instead Of
supplying 1t directly TO his land as
fertilizer. the farmer loses but a trifle
Of its fertilizlng value and gains its
entire feeding value-thus making the
material yield two profits in the place
of one.

TN THE making of dress accessories
Il ribbons appear to have eclipsed all
othNr materials. Everything from
hats to shoes and from indies TO
wraps looks to ribbon for adornment
and, besides being used for making
garnitures, 1t plays a part in the con-
struction Of many garments. To begin
at the beginning in ribbon accessories,
Is TO begin with sashes. There is
world OF them TO consider, from the
simplest bands of the narrow fash
ionable two-toned, picot-edged ribbons
that have decked sheer summary
frocks, to gorgeous and intricate at
fairs In rich MORE or brilliant brocade
that are elaborated into bodices and
draperies. There are sashes for aft
ernoon and evening gowns and there
are sashes for street gowns, all as diff
ferent In character as the frocks them
selves are. There are sashes that are
prolonged into trains and others that
become draperies for skirts or aspire
into bodices, with the aid Of malines
or net or lace. Frocks are really
merely lovely back grounds for these
ambitious efforts Of the accessory de-
signer.
An affair of this kind claims consid-
Grafton In the group Of sashes pic
tured. This extravagant and ingenious
arrangement consists Of an overbodice
and girdle which becomes a ripple Of
plaits over the hips and blossoms into
loops and four hanging ends at the
back. Two long ends reach the bottom
of the skirt and are edged with frills
of narrow lace. These and the two
shorter ends are rounded. The filmy
gown serves to set off this elaboration
Of the sash into the most important
feature of the costume. 1t would be
effective in any of the lovely colors
used for evening dress.
A much simpler and more popular
sash is made of wide, soft and plain
satin ribbon. 1t is adjusted about the
waistlne in q crushed girdle that Is
brought twice around and raised at
the left side. 1t is necessary to stay
a girdle OF this kind with wire or
some other support. 1t is finished at
the back with two loops and two ends
and over it's fastening at the side, a
spray of small roses takes up the color
of the ribbon and repeats it in many
delightful tints.
description of sashes for evening
frocks might go on indefinitely. there
are so many of them in such varied
arrangements, but their growing i'm
portance in tailored frocks compels
attention. For these there are fine
tailored sashes like that pictured In
the group shown here, and others,
less staid. This one Is made of black
satin ribbon folded and arranged into
two loops and one looped end. The
folds are tackled to place. These tail
ored girdles and tailored hat orna-
ments are very interesting and design
ers find 1t worth while TO specialize
In making them.

Other holiday articles for children
are easy to make. These are the cloth
books. They are made of thin cambria
In bright colOrs with pictures of all
sorts, comic and otherwise, pasted on
the pages. To make them, several
thicknesses of newspaper are cut into
uniform size for the pages. Each of
these pages of several layers of paper
! Is covered with the cambria and but

with bright-colored yarns and several

Turks "Buffaloed ~

Ignorance as to the real Significance

many Anatolians, who, 1t appears, are
greatly puzzled by this word. which
has come into the popular speech only
since the covenant Of the League OF
Nations was framed. This confusion
Is. II seems, In part due to the fact
that the word is extremely similar TO

Influence Of Feeds.
The green feed is sometimes left
out of the ration during the last seven
days of fattening, as it tends to color
the meat and may produce a slightly
fiabby rather than a firm flesh; how
ever, 1t Is easier to keep the ducklings
In good feeding condition on a mash
containing green feed. Boiled fish may
replace the beef scrap, but should only
be fed up to within two weeks before
they are killed, as 1t may give fishy
taste TO their flesh, United States de-
partment of agriculture specialists
suggest. A considerable quantity of
boiled fish is also fed in the mash TO
laying ducks in sections where the
duck farms border on the water and
where fish is available at a very small
cost. This fish aids materially in re-
ducing the cost of feeding.

NEVER KICK HORSE ON FOOT
Lateral Cartilage Is Liable to Be

When examining the foot of horse

the animal lift 1t off of the ground. In
kicking the foot you are liable to
bruise the lateral cartilage causing in

This deposit Of bone cells is the start
