TIME grass is getting greener
every day, especially on the
- links, and judging Yrom the
number Of caddies I've seen in one
office building around 4 o'clock Of an
afternoon, golf promises to be as
popular as ever this spring. Men
are looking for natty golf suits just
about this time of year, and Mac
Donald & Campbell, 1334-36 Chest
nut Street, are prepared to meet the
demand. They have a remarkably
fine assortment Of tweeds and home
spuns, as we'll as the knitted chew
lots. These are materials Of excel
lent wearing quality and the pat
terms have been carefully chosen.
Their golf suits are not only good
looking, but serviceable and-a fac
tor which most men appreciate
comfortable as we'll. They have also
caps, hose and other accessories.
THERE is no reason in the world
why such a useful article as a
watch should not be beautiful
as well, and once you have seen the
marvelously beautiful wrist watches
at the store Of Bailey, Banks &
Biddle Company, you will agree
that, even did they not perform the
useful function of registering the
Spassage of the hours, their lowell
ness would be sufficient excuse for
wearing them. One exquisite little
timepiece Is of platinum and dia-
monds. 1t is cushion shaped and the
diamonds, outlining its edge, add
much to its beauty. Another pretty
little watch is Of gold and has
souare-cut corners. Its edge is of
blue enamel. But the most salts
factory argument for buying your
watch at Bailey's is that you can be
'ertain that it is dependable.
THE decorator has a great deal
to say concerning the inadvisa-
bility of placing a four-poster
in an Italian Renaissance room and
other crimes of like nature, but,
sometimes, I think, he does not
stress sufficiently the Importance of
having a comfortable mattress on
ones bed. And this is most impor-
tant, for, no matter how graceful of
line the frame of the bed may be al,
uncomfortable spring and mattress
render it useless in the performance
of that most important function Of
inducing healthful rest. A box
spring is, of course, the most desir-
able and the box spring made by
H. d. Dougherty 4 Co.. 1882 Chest
nut Street, is scientifically con-
structed. Their curled hair mat.
tress is not only most sanitary, but
most luxurious and restful as we'll.
A ONE-PIECE dress Of navy
~ tricotine, which ] saw at the
Caspar Gown Shop. 1920
Chestnut Street, had for trimming
bands Of embroidery in oyster-white
on its belt, on the short sleeves and
on the hem Of the skirt. For fur
ther trimming there were two rows
Of steel ball buttons down front and
back. The neck was collarless.
An inexpensive little frock of
blue taffeta had a simple basque
waist. The skirt, which was
draped in bouffant effect, had
rows of blue ribbon velvet appliqued
in horizontal lines. Loops Of the
velvet, turned pertly upward on the
short sleeves. The vestee of lace
was gathered on a tiny silver cord.
This shop is disseminating its line
Of suits, and there are some very
good-looking tailleurs Of navy tri-
cotine to be had at remarkably low
prices.

INN MES thought and taste are
reflected in the car one pre-
fers just as in the kind of
house one chooses to live in. Those
who demand that their automobile
have distinction and individuality
that 1t combine utility with beauty
will want to see the Milburn and
Rauch & Lang electric cars at the
showrooms Of George Hugh Smith,
Inc, 1885 Chestnut Street. Many
make the mistake Of supposing that,
because electric cars are preferred
by people Of refinement, they are
expensive to operate, whereas, in
isct, the cost Of operation is only
about 2 cents per mile. The even
flow Of electric power to the wheels
and comparatively light weight Of
the car save tires. 1t is possible to
get from seven to ten thousand miles
from a set Of tires.

The chief obstac4e-in-the way Of
getting the new Certified Poultry
Breeding Project into operation as
outlined by the University of Mis-
sour Agricultural Extension Service
is the scarcity of high-class breeding
males with a definite egg record back
OF them. Nationwide inquiry has fail
ed TO locate in some Of the popular
varieties OF poultry a single avail
able cockerel which can be sold with
a guarantee that the mother OF the
bird laid more than 200 eggs in ono
year. In only one variety, the White
Leghorns, is there anything like an
adequate supply available of pcdi-
greed high egg strain males. Twenty
five flock owners have already agreed
to cooperate with the Extension
| Service and the County Farm Blu,

While the ar1y-wnrnBS were so
active in the destruction of Mis-
souri's crops this summer, spraying
was one of the measures taken to
control them. Agent Flancry, Dunk
lin County. sprayed several fields Of
corn the first week in August. Two
weeks later he visited the dcmonstra-
lions and saw that the spraying had
effected control of the worms. In
his report 10 The University OF Mis-
souri, College OF Agriculture he says:
You can tell 20 an inch the height
Of the corn when it was sprayed,
lhr worms stopped eating and the
corn grew out nice and fresh with
not = purcturc in the blades or stalks,
We had a good opportunity to make
comparison with an infected field not
sprayed This field of coru looks
very inferior TO the one sprayed.
About halt the blades are entirely
gone and all are more or less punct-
urcd and chcwed up Both fields
arc now in silk and tassel. The
SPRAYED field promises an ordinary
crop, while the field not sprayed
looks as IT ii will make no more
than a half crop"

Experimental and demonstration
work by the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture has shown
That the proper use of supplement
tary feeds like tankage, linseed oil
meal or wheat middlings increase
profits derived from swine feeding
With corn worth $1.2O per bushel, a
ton of tankage saved corn to the
value of $203.64-likcwise, a tor of
linseed oil meal was worth $ll380
and wheat middlings $45.80.
That fattening hogs gained
200 faster on a ration of corn and
middlings than on corn.
32% faster on a ration OF corn and
linseed oil meal than on corn alone.
32.6% faster on a ration of corn
and tankage than on corn alone.
1857 faster on a ration of corn
and Soybeans than On corn alone.
1867 faster on a ration of corr
and germ oil meal than on corn
alone.
That f~attening swine gain 7.4%
% faster when self fed than when
hand fed, the same ration.
That settled hogs require no more
feed to produce a given amount o
gain than when hand fed. Hence, tn
practice can be recommended as {
method of decreasing labor.
That when each feed is placed in
separate self feeder the hogs will
choose the different feeds so that tn,
gain will be both rapid and ccono
mical.
That the saving of grain resulting
from the use of pasture crops is from
20 to 50 per cent.
