the proposed Navy and Marine me-
mortal, the Public Buildings and Pub

S5 possible sites for memorials The
site suggested for the Navy and Ma

Dean Swift Learned
Thrift From Monarch

king William III taught me the
Dutch way of eating asparagus" wrote
Dean Swift in his journal to Stella"
What Dutch Williams method was we
may guess from the following story:
1t was about the time of a certain
year that Dean Swift was acting host
to his Dublin publisher, George Faux
ener. Asparagus was served and the
guests asked for a second helping.
Swift, however, pointed to the others
plate, and said. "Sir, first finish what is
before you" "Whati" exclaimed
F~aulkener, 'eat my stalks?" "Aye,
sir" replied Swift. in his most i'm
perious manner; 'eat your stalks, or
you will have no more. King William
III always eats his stalks" When
relating this story Faulkener was asked
If he really did eat the stalks. To
which he replied: "Yes. certainly;
and If you had dined with Dean Swift
tete-a-tete you would have been obliged
to eat your stalks, too !"-London Post.

Drying Off Cow Often Is
Difficult for Dairymar

Often it is difficult to dry off a COW.
Many practices are followed by differ
emit farmers. The practice of milking
COWS but once a day is most common.
It is often the sole method used to
end the period of lactation.
There are, however, other ways to
assist in drying up the COW. Some
milk at irregular intervals. Others
milk often, but do not milk dry. Elm
mating the grain from the ration is a
practice that Is quite commonly fol-
lowed. Feeds rich in protein, like
grain and alfalfa hay, and also succu-
lent feeds, can be taken advantageous
~ from the animals while drying them
off. There appears to be a general
notion among the best dairymen to
let up gradually on both the feeding
and the milking to encourage the COW

Once planted, cover crops take care

Many a good apple is spoiled by the
unnecessary rough handling that at.

Since good air is, just as essential
to a COW as food and water, it should
be provided in the barn with just as
much care and certainty.

HI CROSS
Rx rHoMAs ARKLE CLARK

"TF THOU cast away n cross
\ wrote Thomas attempts, 'with-
out doubt thou shalt find another, and
that, perhaps, more heavy"
If anyone would come after Me-"
said the Savior of men, "let him take
up his cross and follow Me-"
Everyone has some cross to bear,
and to him who bears it, often it
seems very heavy. The back grows
weary, and the heart aches, and the
sharp edges cut into the tender flesh.
1t seems, sometimes, that any other
burden would be easier to carry than
the one that has been laid upon our
shoulders, and we would fain try an
other.
Susan McCord thought so. Her lot
in life was not an easy one. She was
left alone when she was a young girl.
She earned her living by teaching, and
the salary was small, and the cost
of living high. She barely made
enough to live decently, to dress re-
specially, and to take two weeks va
cation in the summer. The future
looked pretty uncertain, for she could
save almost nothing, and she had no
relatives from whom to expect a leg
acy Il make her old age comfortable.
Then Sam Walton came along, and
he found Susan pleasant to look
upon. 1t was true he was thirty years
her senior, and he had few personal
charms, but he had a good house and
a comfortable income, and when he
asked her to marry him, it seemed as
If good fortune and freedom from
worry had come to Susan al last, so
she married him and moved into the
house.
He proved a rather niggardly and
exacting companion, and she became
at once little more than his slave who
toiled all day for a mere living. Old
age came upon Sam pretty rapidly,
and Susan was his nurse. Over and
over again she longed for her former
life of freedom. The cross she had
taken up was heavier and more gall
ing tina the one she had discarded,
and there was no love on either side
to help her to carry 1t.
She looked like an old haggard
woman when Sam finally went. All
the joy and youth had gone Oh of
her. The cross she had been carry
ing had crushed her, and she could go
little further. She would have been
better off If she had kept on carry
ing the old one.
Sometimes as we look back upon
our lives that are going fast, we long
% go back to the crossroads where

Packing Apples Is Most
Important Harvest Task

packing apples is a most important
part of the harvest" says Prof. Joseph
Oskamp of the New York College of
Agriculture at Ithaca. More atten-
ton should be given to racking or
shaking the barrel to settle the fruit.
ITO get a tight pack, rack the bar
rel after adding each ~half-bushel.
O~ver-flling the barrel will not take
the place of racking, as the apples
will settle later on and the pack will
become slack.
IA common fault in packing apples
is to %overfill. Contrary to what might
be expected, it does not insure a tight
pack, and is apt to bruise the fruit
all through the barrel. A properly
racked barrel needs but little press
ing, and the fruit need be but slightly
above the top of the barrel before the
press is applied.
eff the fruit is Of good quality, and
the crop is large, a grading machine
may be used economically. The sort
ing table is an important part Of the
grading equipment and makes grading
a quick and sure job.
1.-THE grower should be governed by
his own conditions. however, and If
there is a large percentage of culls,
he may be wise to sell the crop or
chard run without b%othering to grade
it,"

MODES IN WINTER COATS;
LATEST AFTERNOON FROCKS

Although many of us looked
askance at the new fall modes
when they were first presented and
required them to be more or less dis
guised until we got used to them
all that is changed now. In language
something like that of the poet, we
first endured, then fitted, then en-
braced, the new elaboration, the fuller
skirts, long sleeves and hint of form
fitting in the bodice.
Two charming afternoon frocks, as
shown here, make clear the steps by
which women were led to abandon the
straight and narrow way of last sea-
sons styles. Easier and more flowing
lines, much greater intricacy In cut
and more elaboration distinguish the
styles of today. Both the frocks pic
tured are made of crepe satin and
may be developed in any color. The

GTYLISTS had their doubts this fall
~ as to whether women would
accept flaring lines In coats, so they
launched two silhouettes-the straight
line and the fiaring line. These, like
the two Dromios, came into the world
of fashion as brother and brother,
and are journeying through it-"not
n before the other, but hand in
hand together" The doubts Of the
stylists were very well founded, but
the flare has been gaining ground, es-
pecially the side flare which does not
interfere with a straight back or front
line. Fullness is added to some coats
by means of fiat plaits at the sides
a compromise between the straight
and flaring styles, which has proved
popular.
Two late models, shown in the illus
t~ration, introduce fullness at the sides

Velvet Beans Good
Ration for Steers
May Be Substituted for Cot
tonseed Meal.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.1
Velvet beans and corn silage In
equal quantities form a satisfactory
ration for fattening steers. In such
a ration velvet beans may be econom-
ically substituted for cottonseed meal,
provided they do not cost more than
half as much per pound lin the podl
as that product. These facts were es.
tabIished In feeding experiments CON
Quoted in Mississippi by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
cooperation with the state agricul-
tural experiment station, and in SINH
lar Investigations carried on by the de-
partment at it's experimental farm at
Beltsville, Md. In one Of the expert
ments native steers showing no evt-
dence of improved blood were used.
In all the others, high-grade feeder
steers were employed. The expert
ments were undertaken primarily to
determine the value of velvet beans
when fed with corn silage or sorgo
silage as compared with ~cottOnseed
meal when similarly fed, and also
whether velvet beans should be fed
whole or ground, dry or soaked.
Two pounds of velvet beans Tin the
pod were found to be about equal in
feeding value to one pound of cotton
seed meal. When the whole velvet
beans were substituted for ~cottonseed
meal in the ration for the steers,
only about two-thirds as much silage
was eaten, the large amount of rough.
age formed by the bean hulls being
responsible for the reduced consump-
tion of silage.
Whole velvet beans when soaked are
more palatable than the dry beans, but
the latter are more economical when
the labor required for soaking them
is considered.
Grinding of velvet beans is not ad-
visable, since 1t renders them less pal
atable and impairs their keeping quail
ity. While from 5 to 10 per cent less
of ground velvet beans than Of dry
whole velvet beans are required to pro-
.duce 100 pounds of gain, this saving
does not compensate for the cost OF
grinding. Furthermore, ground velvet
beans are so unpalatable that steers
will not eat enough of them to make
good gains.
In the course of the experiments 1t
was found that cottonseed meal is
more ~palatable than velvet beans in
any form, and that 1t produces more
rapid, though not more economical
gains than velvet beans. The palata-
bility of velvet beans may be improved
by the addition Of a small quantity Of
~cottonseed meal to the beans. The
most economical form in which to
feed velvet beans is in the pod with
out soaking. Velvet beans of the thin.
podded, speckled variety are much
higher in feeding value and more
palatable than several varieties which
| have a very thick pod, and consequent
ly a low Smelling percentage. Velvet
beans of this variety are, moreover, a
valuable protein concentrate.

Remedy for Myopia

Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a
condition In which the rays from a dis
lance are focused In front of the retina
of the eyes, which results in the image
being blurred. Such an eye is per-
manently focused for near objects, but
may be corrected by the wearing of
concave lenses which diverge the rays
and in this way prevent their coming
to a focus too soon.
