This Is the time Of year when, more
than at any other, one longs to loaf
and invite ones soul to be far away
from the complications Of life and
from such vexing matters as that Of
dress, writes a fashion correspondent
In the New York Times.
Happily, this Is a day when every
thing goes" when one Is expected to
express ones self, and when indi-
Wduality Is approved, even when 1t
might properly be translated as "pe-
culiarity." Such diversity Of styles,
such latitude, such extremes in dress
have never been known in the past.
and never before In the history Of
modern fashions has the unconven-
uonal been so conventional.
Originality Is at premium The
demand for the unusual has become SO
keen that artists having a high quail
ity of talent are devoting themselves
without apology to the designing Of
women's clothes. There have result

CLOVER, A SEED CROP
Best Practices in Harvesting and
Threshing Outlined by Uni
versity Farm Authority.

Red clover should be cut for seed,
says A. c. Army, who is in charge of
farm crops at the Minnesota Expert
ment station, when the heads are dry
and dark brown in color. Usually
this condition is apparent the latter
part of August or the first week in
September. The safe rule for the
grower to follow, says Mr.. Army, is to
make careful examination Of the
field before cutting Is commenced.
When the heads are deemed to be
about the proper stage for seed it il
wen to thresh out a few in the hand
and thus make confirmation sure. II
the seed crop is cut before the seeds
are properly matured, the result will
be shrivelled seed Of low market
grade.
The crop is usually cut with a NOW.
er equipped with "buncher" attach.
ment, says Mr.. Army. 1t Is usually
left lying in lunches until 1t is dry
and readily hulled. If a huller is not
available at that time, the crop should
be stacked. Mr.. Army says that many
parts Of the state will have a good red
clover seed crop. Seed from France,
Italy, and Chile are not hardy in these
ATTITUDES and farmers should, there
fore, make early arrangements for a
good supply Of home grown seed.
Regarding sweet clover university
men say 1t should be cut for seed
when preponderance Of the hulls
have turned black. OF course not all
Of them will show black at the same
time. The usual method followed is
to cut with a binder in the forenoon
| when the crop is somewhat damp in
| order to lessen the shattering of the
seed to a minimum. The bundles
J should be set up in long shocks, ap-
proximately eight to the shock and
usually allowed to stand in the field
until threshed. Much Of the crop is
threshed by ordinary threshing ma
chimes. This will leave the hulls on
good many seeds which should not
be planted until removed later by
scarifying.
Farmers Bulletin No. S36 deals par.
ticularly with harvesting sweet clover
for seed purposes. Copies can be Sc

Says Learning Will
Disploce LAUGHTER

An age without laughter, somber
and scientific period, when the jokes
and comicalities Of the present day
will be preserved rs curlosities In the
dusty tones of museums, was predict
ed as a possibility by DR.. Charles
Gray Shaw, professor of philosophy,
In a talk before the summer school Of
New York university.
The disappearance of laughter from
the world will be caused by the spread
Of learning, Doctor Shaw said. He
argued that, in distant day, men will
know too much to laugh, just as print
tive men knew too little to smile.
Men no longer laugh at things they
used to laugh at, Doctor Shaw pointed
out. Among the things which laughter
now passes by, he said, are: Old
maids, bobbed hair. matrimony and
the drunken man.

SILAGE NOT A CHEAP FEED
But Its Moisture Content Makes It
Very Desirable for Winter Use.

Studies made at University Farm
as to the cost Of si1age per acre and
per ton show it is not ordinarily a
cheap feed. Costs are determined by
the farm management group at Uni
versity Farm by basing the study on
the market value Of the corn plus the
cost of putting it into the silo. George
A. Pond in study Of detailed cost
accounts embracing more than $500
acres of silage finds that the total cost
per acre was $685. and the total cost
per ton $4.S4. The charge for the silo
included interest. depreciation, taxes,
insurance, and upkeep. Corn was val
ued at GA cents bushel less charge
Of eight cents for husking.
Just why silage Is valuable feed
IL explained by Andrew Boss, vice d.
rector of the Minnesota Experiment
station: 1.-THE bodies of growing ami
mails contain a large proportion of wa
ter. Animal products, such as milk
and eggs are composed largely Of wa
ter. 1t is a matter Of common knowl-
edge that all classes Of herbiverous
animal thrive best on succulent grass
es and forages. With the development
of winter dairying and winter livestock
feeding has come the necessity for sue
culent winter roughages. 1t is in this
connection that silage has peculiar
merit Silage contains approximately
75 per cent Of moisture and therefore
more nearly approaches summer grass
es In feeding qualities than most other
farm feeds. Few progressive farmers
who make business either Of feeding
beef cattle or winter dairying can af-
ford to do without silage for winter
feelings" ~

COWS RELISH
SUCCULENT FOOD
SiIage or Green Crops Furnish
Excellent Roughage to Sup
plament Pastures.

Edited by the Agricultural Extension
Dept University of Minnesota.
Falling of Of the milk flow at this
time OF year is mostly a question of
feed, says DR.. c. H. Eckles, chief of
the dairy division of the university.
Hot weather, which can usually be
counted upon in this latitude, and flies
are factors in causing the reduced
flow as they discourage the animals
from grazing as they otherwise would.
Even II the pastures are abundant the
cows will not Craze enough, preferring
to spend the day in the shade. Fur
thermore, in many regions a shortage
Of rainfall in midsummer results in
very poor pastures.
DR.. Eckles finds that one other fac
tor must also be considered. Because
the grass is nearly ripe at this time
1t Is far less palatable than the sue
culent fresh grass of early summer.
AS result OF the combination of fac.
tors the cow that started off with a
liberal milk yield In early summer
may be little more than good strip
per by September. When a cow gets
down in milk once it is difficult mat
ter to bring her back. For this reason
and for the sake of the cream check
1t Is very important that the milking
herd be kept from falling off any more
than necessary during the late summer
period.
Keeping in mind that the problem
is fundamentally one Of getting enough
feed into the cows, the question is
what to feed and how much" says DR..
Eckles. Even when pastures are
good the heavy milking COW should
have some grain, and it is assumed
some grain is going to be fed, the
amount being varied to meet the needs
Of each animal. Some succulent rough.
age is needed besides the ration OF
grain. The choice is between silage
and green crops, usually spoken of as
soiling crops. Alfalfa, and, late in the
summer, corn cut green, make excel
lent roughage to supplement the pas
lures. A series of crops may be plant
ed that will furnish green feed through
out the summer.
Probably the best plan for the ma
jority Is to use silage when something
is needed to help out the poor pas
lures. In order that silage may be
fed under summer conditions without
serious loss the silo should have a
small diameter so that deeper layer
will be fed than is necessary in the
winter. For summer feeding a silo IL
feet in diameter is ample for 80 COWS.
II the silage held in reserve is not
needed 1t may be used in WINTER or
will keep over for another summer.
