Straw Sheds for
Cattle in Winter
Shelter Will Have Marked
Effect in Saving Of Food
Supplied.
By W. A. FOSTER, Agricultural Engineer
Ing Department. College of Agriculture.
University of Illinois.-WNU Service.


Many grain farmers with plenty of
feed and no favorable market will
turn to cattle feeding this winter as
temporary outlet. Those without
equipment or shelter will have to build
straw sheds or some other protection
4 they save what little margin of
profit they will have. Should the win
ter be severe, the saving in feed alone
will ray for the time and effort In
building, he pointed out.
A dozen posts cut from the timber,
four poles 20 to "a feet long, IL short
er poles IA feet long and 30 rods OF
4-foot fencing is ample for IL by 40
foot shed, which is large enough for
carload Of heavy cattle. This allows
for an 8-foot height and for four rows
of wire on the roof to hold the straw.
Old boards or brush may be used IN
place Of the wire to hold the straw
on the roof.
Each of the sides and the end OF
the shed is formed by two parallel
rows Of fencing with straw packed be-
tween them. Like concrete form,
the two rows Of fencing must be tied
together at Intervals to prevent bullying
Using heavy posts, such as telephone
posts, with fencing on both sides will
hold enough packed straw to break the
wind and shut out storms. Close
mesh wire is preferable so that the
animals cannot eat or pull out the
straw.
Two widths of wire should be used
to get 7-to-S-foot height at the rear.
Sloping the shed roof upward to the
front not only will give slight water
shed, but also will assist in ventila-
ton and lighting. Snow-fence crib
bing may be used.
Another type of straw shed can be
built on the south or east side OF the
straw pile. One can easily cut down
one side of the stack with hay knife,
build the necessary frame work and
use the removed straw for the cover.

AS to the evening gown in the pie
ture, its coloring In the original is SO
lovely, mere black and white print can
not come near to conveying its real
charm. The transparent velvet of
which it is made is in the new hya-
cinth blue which is most fascinating.
The gray of the chinchilla fur which
forms the youthful looking pulled
sleeves together with the blue of the
velvet produce an Intriguing color
study. The slender silhouette and the
very high waistline which is lower in
the back. are noteworthy style details.
A climax in fashion thrills is
reached in the jewelry which this
modish debutante is wearing with her
fur-sleeved gown. for her bracelet and
necklace are also of velvet. That is,
they are of velvet cording, a late
Paris fancy by the way. A pendant Of
pearls hangs from her velvet cord
necklace! and pearl clasp centers
the bracelet.
OF course you have already taken
mental note of the handsome cloth
and fur coat pictured in the fore
ground of the illustration. It goes to
show how very effective sleeves which
make fur their medium can be- The
material for this striking street coat
is a quality-kind gray velvet wooden
with gray krimmer for the sleeves and
scarf collar. Gray is very impor-
tant color this season.

Choose Becoming Hats,
Tip Them as You Will

Paris hats this season show vast
amount of imagination. They do not
run true to set formula nearly as
much as they have in past years. but
break out in all sorts of original ways.
They are worn absolutely straight on
the head, low over the eyes, or tipped
at mad angle. set firmly well down
onto the head, or shallow, perched
dangerously. They dip deep into the
back Of the neck or are pulled to the
front (this most frequently. Trim
ming is either straight in front, shad.
owing the eyes, or high in the back.
It's grand time for you to indulge in
just the sort of hat you think does
the most for you and be perfectly In
the picture whether you like your
crowns square or pancaked, your
brims rolling or straight.

Danger in Imported Seed

Imported wheat seed has been sus-
ceptible to anthracnose or scorch in
several southern states in which twas
tried. The tests showed that where
anthracnese is prevalent, seed pro-
duced in, the region did better than
that from some other region. Seed
hardy to cold winters is not neces-
sarily disease-resistant. The Canadian
seed did well in states where winters
are severe.
There were $50 lots of seed tested
at 21 stations in Indiana, Iowa, Ken

Missouri, New York, New Jersey.

Preparing Roughages

Processes of preparing roughages,
such as grinding, chopping or steaming
and "pre-digesting," had their greatest
advantage, in tests at Wisconsin. in
making the stock eat the coarser parts
Of the roughages. Soybean hay was
improved to the extent Of 20 per cent
for dairy cows. but alfalfa hay was not
improved for either dairy cows. beef
cows or calves. The commercial adj
vantage depends on the availability or
amounts on hand Of the coarser rough
ages and the number Of animals.

LARGE MONOGRAMS
ACORN 'KERC CHIEFS


Handkerchiefs of fine French linen
embroidered with mammoth mono
grams are vogue in Paris now. The
monogram takes up practically a
fourth of the entire kerchief, and If
done in color, two shades of the same
are used, the central letter slightly,
darker than the two on each side. If
only two letters are used, they should
both be dark with the curlicues
around about them in lighter shade.
Another novelty hanky comes from
one of the big shops in the Grand
Boulevards and is of white chiffon
printed with the map of France. Great
Britain, Spain, Italy or South Amer
lea. These are extremely colorful bits
Of feminine finery.

Just one such fur ensemble as this
and the woman of fashion is provided
with an accessory set which will make
her the envy of her less fortunate
neighbors. 1t is so designed as to be
worn over the collarless, likewise fur
less, cloth coat or 1t may top milady's
newest cloth suit or it will pose smart
Iy over one-piece wooden street dress.
These instances are only part of its
program. With her sealskin or beaver
or moleskin coat, the happy possessor
of this charming set, which we almost
forgot to tell you is of brown shaved
lambskin, wears simply the hat and
the mum thus offering a pleasing d.
version. This is a season when sepa-
rate fur pieces are being featured with
an enthusiasm which is increasingly
manifest as autumn and winter fash
ions become definitely established.

Cilet Can Be Worn With
Any Costume This Winter

A gilet-or vestee-may mean al
most anything this season. It can go
on outside the dress and look like a
very short waistcoat effect with a belt
above the waistllne. as Schiaparelli's
does. Or 1t can go inside. as you're
used to. and look like mans shirt
front with narrow bow tie. as Cha
nels gilet does
Whatever kind you select, they're
fine accessories to trim up most any
tailored dress.

Simplest Costume Is the
Smartest One This Year

}rhe Paris dressmakers have learned
at least one important lesson this
gear, that the simplest costume is
often, after all. the smartest one. In
previous seasons more than one de-
signer has fallen by the wayside in an
extreme effort to be different, when
the most obvious and simplest type
Of dress would have made him into
q success-a process in the making
and planning and wearing of clothes
which is repeated at least once In the
life Of every woman who plans her
own clothes.

Prepare For Holiday Hazards

Prepare For Holiday Hazards
AS the Christmas season ap-
proaches. State Fire Marshal Frank
| G. Henry reminds ue that special
| care should be exercised to insure
the fullest enjoyment of this fes-
! tival.
! Every precaution should be taken
in setting up the Christmas tree.
which should be firmly set in a
stand, SO that it will not easily top
pie over. The tree should be placed
several feet from any heating or
lighting fixtures. The hazard OF
candles on Christmas trees has now
been largely eliminated by the sub
stitution of electric tree light, but
! defective tree lighting outfits may
themselves be hazard, and cere-
monial candles are a frequent
source of fire. All lighting fixtures
should be installed by expert elec-
tricians, and the insulation Of tenn
porary wiring during the holiday
season in connection with decora-
tfons, should be carefully inspected
to make certain 1t is In perfect con-
dition.
Only metal tinsel, fake asbestos,
powdered mica or other non-inflam-
mable materials should be used for
decorative purposes in the home or
on the Christmas tree.
A lighted Christmas tree should
never be left unguarded, as a short
circuit or other mishap may cause
fire at any time
Curtains, drapes and shades
should not be allowed to come in
contact with Illuminating devices.
Under no circumstances should
package wrapping be allowed to ac-
cumulate in the house All such
material should be promptly dis
posed Of, and not left lying around
loosely, as is frequently done.
Smoking should be discouraged
in rooms which are profusely trim
med with quick burning decorations.
Every home should be provided
with hand extinguisher, which
should be conveniently placed. If a
fire extinguisher is not available,
bucket of water or pail of sand,
with which to smother an incipient
blaze, should be in a convenient
place, should an emergency arise.
The Christmas tree should be
promptly removed from the home,
after having served its purpose, and.
in all cases, before it becomes dry,
as should all material used for
decorative purposes.
Remember that 95 per cent OF
accidents are preventable.

Lesson " ~ M!y}

| Lesson /. The Christians De
votional Life: Prayer is the basis Of
the Christian life. If our prayer
standards are true, the entire life il
firm and upright. 1t is not the
length nor the repetition of prayers
that counts, but the sincerity of the
one praying.
2. The Christian In the Family:
If we are not true to Christ at home,
are we really true to Him else
where? If Christ is not the center
of our home life. can He be the Gen.
ter of our life at all?
3. The Home and the Coming
Generations: A generation that
lives mainly for itself leaves the
world poorer than it found It. We
should always be planning for the
world to come after US, and the
way to do it is to nurture the chill
dren in Christian faith and love.
4. Problems of the Modern
Home: The religious problem is
solved by Joshua. as he enthrones
God in the. home. The parental
problem is solved by Paul, as he
pleads for the nurture of the child
in the home. The parental prob
lem is solved by Paul, as he stresses
the mutual duties OF masters and
servants in the home.
S. The Christian and Law OBJ
servance: Being born in . repub-
lie makes us careless in law OBJ
servance. Because we happen to be
our own bosses, we often 30 easy
with ourselves. We forget that our
example is being closely followed by
child and neighbor.
S. The Christian and World
Peace: The reign OF Christ is es-
sential to the attainment of world
peace. The regeneration Of men Is
essential to the maintenance of
world peace.
Z. Making Living: Money
earning may be made an ennObling
and broadening occupation. or an
ignoble and narrowing one. We
can make a life with Christ's help,
while we are making a living. We
can SO earn money as to earn with
it Christ's approval and blessed
eternity.
s. Stewardship of Money: Moses
taught the stewardship of money, in
view of the fact that God Is the
source of wealth. Paul taught the
of life. in view of the
fact that God is the source OF
wealth.
9. Stewardship Of Life: God gave
us our life, and he has the right to
the use of our time and strength
and all our powers-the entire use
II he desires. The dedication of our
lives to him Is the one thing we are
to do; he does the rest. All success
in life depends upon this.
10. Living With People of Other
Races: Our population is made up
OF so many races. from all parts Of
the world. that our national pros
perity and peace largely depend up
on the way we treat them. We
must regard them as our brothers
and seek their advancement AZ our
own. to be really Christian.
