BUYING FEEDERS THIS FALL
Crop Conditions Point to Need Of Care
In Selection.

The problem of buying stock this
fall to fatten and put on the market
later is one which requires careful
consideration, says H. w. Vaughan Of
the animal husbandry division at the
Minnesota Experiment station, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul.
Present indications, continues Mr..
Vaughan, point toward plentiful sup
ply Of hay and small grains for feed
Ing purposes during the coming fall
and winter. The trouble Is it is not
possible to predict at this time with
accuracy the yield and price of the
1924 corn crop, which will determine
in large measure the extent of fall
and winter feeding operations.
II, as now seems probable, grains
are to be high in price next fall, those
who feed cattle and sheep will select
stock capable of handling ration COM
posed more largely Of low-priced
roughages, with less grain, than during
the last two years. In this case, says
Mr.. Vaughan, the farmer who feeds
cattle will look with greater favor on
the two-year-old or three-year-old steer
OF medium quality and thin condition;
the kind which can most profitably use
a ration containing little grain and
much silage, fodder, and hay.

| models that will please the fancy and
comfort the heart by keeping youth
and grace in the figure.
The fashionable woman Of a genera
ton ago was unaware of the arChi-
lecture that reconstructs the figure to
the present model. To summarize, she
wore stays, and crinoline, and bones.
These belong to the Dark Ages, as Ear
as concerns the modern woman; which
greatly slmplifies the task Of the
modiste who helps the middle-aged
woman to express taste and style In
her appearance.
The waistline dropped to the point
Of the hip was the life-saving innova-
tion. To that is drawn the long
V-shaped neck, the gracefully tapered
shawl collar, the wide cascading cape,
the Jabot. The skirt, in slight drapery.
Is caught usually with motif of flow
ers or jeweled ornament, or garni-
ture that trails in lengthwise line to

SUMMER MASH"
MAKES HENSLAY
Bug-Chasing Not Best Way to
Keep Up REPRODUCTION
In Summer.
Edited by the Agricultural Extension
Dept, University of Minnesota.

Edited by the Agricultural Extension
Dept. University of Minnesota.
1t is not good idea to put hens on
hard grain rations in the summer time
and let them rustic for. the animal
food they need by chasing insects;
not II the egg yield is to be main
tanned, says A. c. Smith, head Of the
poultry division, Department Of Agri-
culture, University of Minnesota.
Mr.. Smith says that summer is gen.
orally regarded as the most favorable
season for poultry, yet there is de-
plorable dwindling of profits in warm
weather. This, he adds, is caused by
lax methods.
First, food Of the right sort Is too
often omitted in summer. In winter
the flock is fed a laying mash contain
ing not only ground grains and their
by-products but mineral matter and
animal food. The summer ration need
not vary greatly from the winter ra-
ton. In summer 1t is a good plan to
use more wheat by-products and more
ground oats in the mashes and more
wheat in the grain, IL wheat Is not too
high in price, and the feeding must
be liberal and regular.
This Is right in line with the &C.
copied rules for feeding dairy cattle
in summer. To maintain milk produc-
ton, cows of good production must
have grain. This not only keeps up
summer production but brings the
p COWS through into cool weather in bet
ter condition to 60 on giving good re-
turns.
Second, in summer poultry houses
should be we'll ventilated by removing
windows, in order to keep them COM
fortably cool.
Third, mites and lice, which multiply
rapidly in warm weather in a house
not kept cool, must be kept under con-
troll.
Fourth, young and old stock must
be kept separate.
The observance Of these four rules,
says Mr.. Smith, will mean sustained
returns through the summer, and bet
ter conditions generally.

RAISING CAIN WITH CANES
Time to Cut Raspberry Canes Is Just
After Gathering Crop.

The time to clear out the raspberry
canes is just after the crop Of the se&
son has been harvested, says r.. s..
Macintosh, horticulturist of the exc
tention division, University Farm, st.
Paul.
: Just after gathering the crop is the
best time to cut the canes because they
are easier to cut at that time than in
the fall when they have become dry
and hard and because the old canes,
IL allowed, to stand, are likely to spread
disease to the new shoots. :.

Brown Swiss dairy cattle seem to

Mr.. Kirkpatrick's report said that
more than 800 persons attended q

OF Gnstave Roehlke, near the Burscl1-
vile creamery few days ago. A tea
ture Of the meeting was an exhibit Of
Brown Swiss cattle.
H. r. Searles, dairy specialist Of
the extension division at University
Farm, told the crowd that the breed
had splendid qualities of ruggedness
and ability to use roughage for liberal
production on scanty pasture, and that
IL produced strong calves. 1t was re-
ported at the meeting. ako, that Roehl-
ke's neighbors, noting the develop
ment Of his herd, had become inter-
ested and were buying Brown Swiss
registered sires. So much interest had
been developed that the neighborhood
was likely to become a Brown Swiss
center, attracting buyers Of stock from
the outside.
