FARM
REDUCE TIME AND
LABOR ON SILAGE
Will Enable Farmer to Put
Up Higher Quality.

Modern equipment and improved
methods greatly reduce the burden
of ensiling grasses and legumes,
save time and enable the farmer to
put up higher quality silage.
Any green crop that is harvested
for grass silage should go into the
silo just as soon after cutting as
possible. In good haying weather,
not over two hours should elapse
between moving and ensiling. Dur
ing cloudy or rainy weather some
what longer time may be permissi-
BILE. If the crop becomes partly
dry in the field, water should be
added at the silo in order to re-
place the lost moisture and insure
high quality silage.
In moving the crop it is a good
plan not to keep more than one
half day ahead of the needed sup
ply. A windrower which may be
attached to either a horse-drawn or
a tractor mower will eliminate one
field operation. The windrower
works especially well on level fields,
or fields that are not too rolling.
The use of modern cylinder rake
bar leaders saves a great deal of
labor. When selecting a loader it
is well to purchase one specifically
designed for green hay. They will
handle dry hay as well as green
hay.
Many experienced operators use
square-shaped racks or dump truck
bodies, and allow the hay to fall as
it will from the loader, without hav-
ing anyone on the load. When the
green hay is hauled to the silo con-
siderable time can be saved by
dumping the load on the ground.
Providing the silo filler is set in
trench or set with it's wheels in
the ground up to the axles, the labor
of feeding the machine is greatly
reduced. Standing on the ground
and with the cutter lowered, two
men can pitch ton of green hay
into a silo filler in 10 minutes or
less.
Almost any cutter that is in good
condition may be used in ensiling
green crops. Modern machines with
feed rolls designed for handling hay
crops are easier to feed than stand
ard ensilage cutters. The silo filler
should be set for cut of one-fourth
to one-half an inch. Longer cuttings
do not pack satisfactorily and may
result in some spoilage."

Egg Grading Important

Egg grading is not only practical
and profitable, but it soon will be an
absolute necessity if the egg indus
try is to 60 ahead. The purchasing
public is beginning to demand a
quality graded egg and the producer
must, sooner or later, famiGarize
himself with standard egg grades
and qualify as a producer of such
product, says the North Carolina
state college. Not only do eggs of
known grade command the high
price on all markets, but the grad
ing gives the producer an oppor-
tunity to Gull his flock to better adj
vantage and save only those hens
that are producing the best eggs.

Suggestions on How to
Keep Weevils From Beans

If you store beans in a warm
place they are likely to be infested
with weevils. 1t is better to store
them at temperature not over SO
degrees. They can be treated with
air-slaked lime, using one pound
of lime to four pounds of seed.
In storing beans for food consump-
ton it is recommended that they
be placed in cold water, brought to
a temperature of 40 degrees and
dried. This kills the weevils, does
not interfere with either the food
value or termination of the beans.
A weevil is tiny insect that lays
its eggs on the green pods in early
fall, the eggs Matching to very small
white grubs which develop and re-
produce in the beans. There may
be six or seven generations in a
year.-Prairie Farmer.

Youth Reflected
In Spring Styles

The short skirts that swirl and
flare at their widened hemlines car
ry little grip air about them
that makes you feel sure that Dame
Fashion surely must have partaken
of the fountain of youth. The pro-
gram of dress planned looks just
that way. Of course if you are not
of the type to wear school-girlish
clothes then you can find models
that bring fullness to the front in
impressed pleats.
Speaking of fullness, you see the
new movement toward fullness and

stripe effects in multicolor against
dark grounds. Trim spring details
such as tapped patch pockets,
grouped pleat treatment at bodice
and skirt fronts and interesting nov
city buttons and belts are typical
of the fine workmanship finish of
these inexpensive gowns.
Dressmaker styling and soft drap-
ing are important in the somewhat
more dressy types, done in colorful
spaced floral prints in formal vine
and wreath motifs, and in close
allover prints of tiny flowers such
as forgetmenots or diminutive but
tercups. Softly draped necklines,
gored or pleated skirts, gracefully
tied or draped or shirred sleeves
are all dressmaker details of def
mite f1attery.
In the new collections, one charm
ing slenderline frock for little wom-
en- is especially smart in black with
widespread red and white poppy
print of great distinction pictured
to left at top in group. The fresh
white accent is carried out in a row
of white buttons at the blouse front
below nicely draped Wine neck
and the simple buckled belt is of
self fabric to retain the unbroken
line which adds inches to stature.
The smart little front-buttoned
frock as shown in foreground to the
left for slender young misses has
borrowed from it's peasant cousin
the close-fitted shirred-in waistband
and the softly bloused bodice al
though the fared skirt is not
dirndl. In smooth rayon crepe with
a distinctive clustered dot pattern
ing done in stripes, this attractive
frock is nicely adaptable to any day
time occasion.
The gown to the right is especially
planned in women's sizes. Although
you would not guess from it's APP
pearance, it is really among the
moderately priced daytime frocks.
The fine rayon crepe that fashions
it presents one of the new Chinese
porcelain print patternings with
large white chrysanthemums against
a soft luggage tan background. A
full-length buttoned front closing
banded in matched solid color, soft
ly draped sleeves and action-pleated
skirt front are important details.
The scarf-draped hat worn is
leader in the millinery realm.

Agricultural Notes

Uncle Alb says success in farming
requires three things: Good soil,
good weather, and good farmer.
Approximately one out of every
twelve pounds of meat produced in
the United States is made into sau-
sage.
The beef cattle industry seems to
run in cycles. The last peak was in
1884, and the low was about the
first of 1888. Since that time there
has been slow expansion which is
expected to continue for several
years.
Farm account books can be start
ed most conveniently when the in
ventory of feeds and supplies is at
low point.
Forty-seven states are now in the
modified accredited area after state
wide tests for the detection of cattle
infected with bovine tuberculosis.
Sheep that are fed all of the good
quality legume hay they will clean
up will need less grain than sheep
that receive poorer-quality rough
ages.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS
Elmo Scott Watson
The Redoubtable
Nine. La Cornpt

N THE year 1884 a daughter was
: born to the La Flammes,
French family living at St. Joseph
on Lake Michigan. While she was
still little girl, her parents moved
to Mackinac and there she grew up
and married her first husband.
Pilette de Sainte Ange.
In 1765 Sainte Ange took his wife
to the site of the future city of Chi
cago where they lived for several
years. After a time she became IA
mlliar with the language of the
Pottawatomies and other tribes,
studying their character and acquir-
ing great influence over them.
When Sainte Ange died, his widow
moved to the French village of Ca
hokia on the Mississippi. She soon
married again, this time to Ca
madam named La Compt. During
the Revolution, the Cahokia villag-
ers, whom George Rogers Clark had
won to the American cause, were
in constant danger of attack by the
Indian allies of the British, as were
the American settlers in the early
days of the Territory of Illinois.
Many times Nine. La Compt
was awakened in the dead of night
by Indian friends who urged her to
seek safety in St. Louis. But, in
stead of fleeing, Nine. La Compt in
variably set out alone to meet the
hostiles and dissuade them from
their purpose. Sometimes she
stayed with them for days before
she succeeded. More than once the
fearful villagers of Cahokia, armed
and ready for an attack, saw a
strange procession coming out of
the woods-a band of warriors with
their war-paint freshly washed
away and humbly obeying the or
ders given them by the tall white
woman marching ahead of them!
After rearing a large family of
children, Nine La Compt was wild
owed again. Again she was mar
ried, this time to an American
named Tom Brady. She outlived
him for 80 years and died in Ca
hokia in 1843 at the age of 100 years.

' Tenn, was 16 years old and go
ing to school in Ohio when the Civil
war broke out. She Immediately
asked for passage through the Union
lines to Tennessee and was refused.
So, when the Union flag was first
raised on the. school grounds she
shot every star out of it, one by one.
The results were immediate and
most favorable-she was expelled
from school and sent home to Mem.
phis, which was just exactly what
she wanted.
She was not only good marks
woman-she was pretty and self
confident Her beauty and other
charms enabled her to become en-
gagged to 16 young Confederate army
recruits, all at the same time. This
wasn't very honest, she admitted
years later, but it made the young
soldiers feel good and didn't make
her feel bad.
AS the war went on, Gen. Sterling
Price appointed her special agent
and she carried + dispatches and
other information back and forth
from Union to Confederate territory.
Several times she was arrested by
Northern soldiers, being acquitted
on one occasion but found guilty and
served short sentences on others.
She was the only Confederate
woman spy whose unusual career
did not end with the war or with
spying. At the age of rs she be.
came movie actress in Hollywood
She appeared with Pola Negri and
