IS RACE TO BE HARDEST
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason,
That Coming Generations
VIII Be Bald.

That the man of the next century
~ill have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again. and the fact
that many men under forty are bald
seems 10 indicate that this may be
possible, the men OF the coming gen.
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally hairless
specimen of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But it is through no fault OF
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps I'M
consciously getting ready TO become
hairless females OF the species. and
while they may be only working out
the will of Providence, they are doing
IL deliberately by "bobbing" their hair.
The fashion was introduced, IL is
said, by Russian women. who disguised
themselves trying TO get out Of their
bolshevist-ridden country. Coming 10
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention, was first taken up
by the bohemian set i'm New York,
and now Is rapidly spreading. Some
of the older women, not wishing TO
sacrifice their locks, are said TO be
wearing false bobbed hair.

AUTUMN is CLEARING
TIME FOR FARM LAND
Convert An Waste Places Into
Revenue Producers.
Goats, Sheep or Cattle Are Favored In
Order Named for Keeping Down
Sprout Growth-Methods
for Removing Stumps.

The fair-weather days OF the autumn
afford the. farmer an opportunity To
undertake the clearing of land for
which he has no time In the busy
summer months, and which can not be
done while the land is wet in the
spring. On thousands of farms there
are cut-Over tracts which should be
converted into revenue producers as
soon as possible. If the owner de-
cides that the land In question is bet
ter suited TO crop production than TO
forest growth, careful study of the
most economical method of removing
stumps and small growth should be
made. Most cut-over land passes
through three stages before reaching
Its greatest agricultural value. The
waste and small growth is disposed Of
first, then IL is allowed TO remain in
smaller stumps are dead and decayed,
during which time 1t is used for pas
ture or may be cultivated. Finally,
all the stumpS are removed.
Generally Ii Is best to cut brush as
close as possible to the ground and
avoid leaving sharp points that might
injure stock. However, If the wood is
Of no value and the ground Is not 70
be cultivated before the stumps are
removed it may be best to cut the
trees rather high above the ground. If
the stumps are left three feet high
there will be less sprOuting than If cut
low down. and such stumps are more
easily pulled.
The most successful method Of keep
ing down sprout growth is by heavy
pasturing by goats, sheep, or cattle. in
the order named. Any sprouts not
killed by pasturing should be cut or
knocked off with the head of an AK.
There are a great variety Of meth

means Of burning, pullers and dyna-

pASTURING HOGS
MOST ESSENTIAL
Interesting and instructive Ex-
periments Made With Sows
at illinois Station.
SIZE OF LITTER INCREASED
Popular Belief Substantiated That
Young Mothers Produce Smaller
Pigs-variation In Length
Of termination Period.

A careful study OF records relating
to the birth of 100 filters of pigs at
the University of Illinois reveals many
sldelights for those Interested in hog
raising. The TO filters contained
$50 pigs Of seven distinct breeds.
The following conclusions are drawn
in bulletin No. 226 of the University
of Illinois agricultural experiment sta
ton.
On the whole, the belief that young
sows produce smaller pigs than do
older sows Is substantiated. Likewise
the data substantiated popular belief
that up to a certain age, about three
years, there Is an increase in the
size of litter as sows grow older.
The older sows narrowed 1913 per
cent OF dead or immature pigs as COM
pared to 81 per cent by the younger
sows.
1t is doubtful whether there are any
variations in farrow attributable 30
the season at which pigs are farrOwed.
Increase in Litter.
In succeeding filters from the same
sow there was an increase In number
of pigs per litter and In the weight of
individual pigs until the fourth litter,
at which time the sOws were three
and one-half years old.
The records obtained from $40 lit
ters showed a wide range, % to 124
days, in the length Of CESSATION period,
with an average of 114.5S days. How

PREPARE LAND FOR ALFALFA
One of the Best Ways to Get Moisture
and WeI-Packed Soil is by
Disking and Rolling.

Fall seeding of alfalfa requires
moisture and soil which is well pack
ed. One of the best ways of getting
such a condition is TO disk the ground.
as soon as oats or small grain is taken
off, then pillow 1t and pack it thorough
~ by narrowing it or rolling. Soil
which has been in cultivated crop
and removed early, such as early po-
tatoes, makes good ground for fall
seeding. On ground of this kind
thorough disking and narrowing will
Often put 1t in good shape for alfalfa.
On many of our types of soil alfalfa
will do better if limestone is applied.
This limestone should be applied after
the ground has been plowed and then
narrowed in to give best results.

POTATO DISEASE EXPLAINED
So-Called Blight Due to Tip-Burn or
Small Insect Known as the
leaf-Hopper.

Much of TIE s0-called potato blight
which is to be found is due to what is
really tip-burn, or 1t may be due to a
small insect known as the leaf-hopper.
The tip-burn Is caused by the dry
weather and extreme heat as the sun
and wind draw the water from the
plant faster than the roots can supply
it from the ground. The leaf-hopper is
small, greenist-like insect, which
will be found jumping from one plant
TO another as the plants are moved.
