with it and draw this through your hair
taking one small strand at a time; by

after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

CLOTH COVERINGS PROTECT
PLANTS AGAINST FROST.

Coverings of rather heavy cloth
laid directly over garden truck or 9TH
er low-growing plants are effective in
protecting against moderate frosts.
The heat from the ground and the
plants is thus conserved, and the
losses of heat by radiation from the
plant to the sky are cut off; more
over, the air movement is so slight
near the ground that there is little
tendency for the cold outlide air to
be forced under or through the COW
ering.
The temperature of the surface of
the cloth exposed to the sky is low
cred by radiation and may fall to a
low point, but as both the cloth itself
and the air underneath it are very
poor conductors Of heat, the temper
ature of the covered plants falls much
more slowly. The heat that has pen,
etrated a few inches into the GROUND
during the day is slowly conducted t
the surface during the night and aid
III keeping the temperature under thu
cover above the freezing point.
1t is evident, therefore, that GOV
erings of this kind should be places
early in the evening when a frost i
expected, before much of the heat &C
cumulated in the soil during the da.
has been lost. Tin cans or othe
metal coverings should not be use
to protect plants from frost. Metal
are good conductors of heat and ar
also good radiators unless very high
ly polished. Therefore the tempers
ture is likely to fall nearly as To-
under a covering of this kind as j
the outlide air.

to keep themselves busy. The boys
have only odd jobs to do on Satur-

summer they are hired out to some

Some of our "first families" date

England and Virginia tobacco plant
ers when a shipload of "poor maids"
were sent from England to the
colony, greeted and married by the
bachelor planters who cheerfully laid

fair to say in passing that IN those
days tobacco was cheaper than now,
when the rapacious tobacco trust and
the equally rapacious dealers are in
struments for the punishment of the
vice. Anyhow, the experiment turned
out pretty we'll and was of much as
distance to the census of the New
World.
Now England is going to play the

what to do with them unless, follow

VET. BUREAU TRAINEES RAISE
POULTRY.

There are approximately 140 dis
abled veterans taking project train
ing in agriculture in the five colonies
located at Orchard Gardens, Veter-
ansville, Moose Lake, Silver Star, and
Onamia, Minnesota. With the coming
of spring they are planning many new
departments in their work, and the
first to attract attention is the foun-
dation they are laying for a big poul-
try output from their productive poul-
try stocks.
AS a rule, they are buying day old
chicks in preference to buying and
incubating eggs. In every case the
chicks come from selected laying
strains of hens. The principal vari-
ETY. is the White Leghorn. 1t is esti-
J mated that 400 day-old chicks will
give a man 100 very choice laying
pullets. Losses, rejection and sale Of
unprornisi ing birds and cockerels viii
account for the other 300.

16 men near Onamia will go into pOul

DRIFTING HOMES

How about your home, Mr.. Hus-
band and Mrs. Wife? The average
husband is a coward and the aver
age wife a bully. Are you?
Many have either yielded to the
spirit Of the day and have permitted
their wives to dominate the dOmes-
tic circles to its disgrace, or they
have practically abandoned their
homes.
Consequently, they occupy one
section Of the city, namely, the bust
s and the club sections, the
saloon or the pool hall, while the
wives take a similar direction in
another part Of the city: the home
stands between these two factors in
a neglected condition.
Women have been thrown ont into
the world and seem to care more
for the activities, excitements, gai-
eties and outside glares, than they
do for the domestic drudgery, Sc
clusiOn, responsibilities and glories
of home.
Women ought to be forced to go
home. But their husbands are too
cowardly to force them, or they are
too Indifferent to their responsible
ity, or they would rather glide or
travel the road of least resistance,
and let the home drift.
The home is drifting; children
are roaming; wives are gadding.
Their husbands are practicing fraud
and dishonesty on their families.
They are c0wardly.
The time has come to re-establiak
the home with the sovereignty OF
the federal head, the sacredness OF
domestic seclusiOn, and the prOpe1
adjustment of domestic duties.
The dark spot in the present civ
ilizatiOn is the neglected home
Cowardiy husbands are responsible
for every phase of domestic decline
Let the men awake, reassert them
selves, re-establish their homes and
build again the dOmestic-the ma
tional fortihcati0n-namely, a well
organized domestic circle.

(By H. j. Metcalf.)

One of the real problems of the av-
erage farm in the past has been the
question of how to keep the young
folks on the home place. 1t is not so
great a problem today, because the
modern farmer has come to see the
necessity and the practicability of in
teresting the boy and girl by making
them partners in the farm, rather
than dependents; this is especially
true of the boys.
It is interesting to learn of the
methods employed by some farmers
in holding the young people on the
home place. D. A. Van Cleve, in
structOr of agriculture in a Missouri
valley high school, has been gathering
material along this line for some time.
Mr.. Van Cleve says that one of the
discouraging and sad things on many
of our farms at the present time
is the fact that so many of our farm
boys and girls have become discour-
aged and ~disinterested and take up
some Othef occupation.
Mr.. Van Cleve believes that the
boys and girls raised on the farm
should stick. 1t is not to be sup
posed, of course, that all boys and
girls of the farm will remain there,
any more than that all boys and girls
daughters and sons of doctors and
merchants in the towns will follow
their fathers business, but a large
percentage should stay on the farm
fdr they generally make a better
success of farming than those WHIT

ments.
AS we look around over the state
we find some outstanding cases wher,
fathers have been especially success
full in retaining the interest of tn
boys and girls in the home place AM
have them comfortably located wit
them in the conduct of the farm.
believe that aside from the great per
sonal interest which has been mani
tested by many parents in the son
and daughters on the home farm, clu'
work in the various counties has ha
as much to do with the retention o
the boys and girls on farms as an
other M agency.
Mr.. Van Cleve had occasion recent
ly to talk to n farmer whom h
knew had been very successful i
keeping his children together on tn
home farm. This farmer said:
"YOu ask me what my problem
were in keeping my boys on the far
and how l solved them. Well, l CUES
there wasn't any problem. My boy
never said a word or made a NOV
towards leaving the farm. Perhap
however, l did leave undone a fe

the opinion that if the cattle are kept
in pastures where the grass is ample
the gain in these months will be not
far below the average of the cooler
months" &.
"The second condition we have
found" he said lis that the majority
of the landowners should cultivate
their pastures. 1t is our belief that
if each pasture was given a thorough
working each spring with disc OF
harrow tearing up the matted places
and airing the sod, it would make
these pastures much more produc-
tive"

Pasture only Best
Breeds of Cattle

Here in the Gallatin we sometimes
wonder if we can make any money
from our high-priced land when we
use it for pasture. Farmers who run
any number of cattle will be interest
ed in some Iowa experiments on this
very subject. While we consider
our land high priced, it is in reality
worth only about half the market
price of Iowa land. 1t would seem
that if these Iowa farmers can pas
ture successfully, the same procedure
should be nor or less possible in the
Gallatin.
The only way the farmers of Iowa
can get the maximum out of their
pastures is by placing the best breeds
of cattle in them, is the contention OF
the directors of the Des Moines Live
stock Exchange, who have been con-
Quoting extensive feeding experiments
on Iowa pasture land with a herd of
1900 head of Hereford steers. The
results of the experiment show an av-
erage increase in weight of from
two to three pounds per day per
head, and the methods employed in
feeding are on exhibit at the state
fair, and are attracting much at
tention from the farmers and cattle
r~aisers of the state.
The 1000 Herefords are now pas
tured in Guthrie, Carroll, Adair, Tay-
Tor, Clark and Decatur counties. One
entire train load of cattle of approx
imately so cars was shipped from
Lubbock, Texas, in April, and pas
tured on Iowa farms; more were
brought into the state on May l..
Upon arrival in Iowa the cattle
were put on pastures which had beer
used little or noone during the pas
twelve months and which had al
abundance of feed already on the
ground, according to directors of thu
experiment. One group of $50 wa
fed on corn and hay in dry lot flo,
. approximately Is days to give tn
grass time to get well started in tn
pastures. 1t was believed that tn
grain consumed in this time woul
l give the cattle a quick start. Thi
belief was borne out, the director
stated, when it was learned by care
I full checking that the steers gained
from May 10 to June 6, over thre
4 pounds per day after being placed o
pasture.
The cattle were practically all I;
