tla which best meets the conditions
mentioned the next consideration Is
the arrangement of buildings within
the group. As n general rule the
farmer likes to hnve his buildings so
arranged that it Is possible to see nil
of them from the house. This arrange
ment undoubtedly has its advantages
especially back tind forth between the
house and the ."tallies It Is nn advan-
tage to locate thve buildings us near
the house ns pontile without retting

Drainage afffcfs the arrangement of
buildings since I p order to obtain satis-
factory drainage" each building must
be placed wlirns the soil conditions
and lay of thiiand nre best suited for
tho purpose. The paage of sunlight
uu't not be obstructed. Sunlight Is
the best disease preventer the farmer
can obtain nnd his buildings mut be
arranged and placed to take advantage
of It. Another Influence is the condi-
tion on which Insurance rates nre es-
tahllhd. Of course the same condi-
tions which reduce Insurance rates In-
crease the safely of t&e.farmer.

n paved driveway connected with the
highway either directly or by way of
the houe. Perhaps the greatest
amount of labor In the farm group cen-
ters around the general ham and there-
fore the smaller buildings should be
placed after this mere Important struc-
ture has been given consideration.
Some farmers use n combination of
barns to house their live stock. The ob-
ject Is probably to definitely separata
the horses from the cows more than
anything cle. The Illustrations show

cause of tho freedom exercise nnd

Ope Important feature Is the water

drainage must be provided to carry

RAISE LIVE STOCK
POLAND-CHINA SOW IN FIELD CONDITION.
(Prepared br tho t'nlted States Depart-
ment of ACTlculturo.)
In proportion to the prices that It
brings live stock Is less expensive to
transit than feedstuffs. This fact
makes the production of live stock nn
especially desirable Industry on those
Irrigation projects which are remote
from the large consuming centers. He-
cent experiments by the U. S. depart-
ment of agriculture the results of
which are published ns Bulletin 4SS
Indicate that the most profitable meth-
od on such land of marketing bulky
products like hay nnd grain la to feed
them to hogs. In addition to the In-
Creased prices obtained In this Indirect
way for crops the manure left upon
the farm enriches the soil.
In comparison with other forms of
live 6tock Industry hog raising on Irri-
gated land has attracted more of thosa
with n comparatively smalt amount of
Initial capital and a fanner can get
well started In the business In a short
time.
The necessary buildings nro com-
paratively cheap and It takes less feed
to produco n pound of pork than any
other kind of ment raised on the farm.
The irrigation farmer who has grasped
the fclgnlllcance of these facts nnd
wishes to enter the business needs In
formation on the value of alfalfa as n
hog pasture the valuo of different
kinds and quantities of grain used to
supplement the alfalfa nnd tho prac-
ticability of hogging down corn. It
was prlninrily to obtain data on these
points that tho department's experi-
ments were conducted. Tho results
nro given In detail In tho bulletin al-
ready mentioned.
l'rom these experiments It appears
that under conditions similar to those
which prevail on tho N'orth I'lntte Irri-
gation project where tho work was
carried on It Is much more profitable
to let hogs pnsturo alfalfa than to cut
the fields and sell the "hay j and sec-
ondly that alfalfa pasture can be
made to yield much more profitable re-
turns In pork when n two- or threo per
cent ration of grain Is fed the hogs as

BLACKLEG IN CALVES
NOW WORE VIRULENT
Vaccination Will Prevent Disease
' in Most Cases but Not All-
Serum on Market.
(By oeorgi: n. aLOvnn. Colorado Ag-
rlcultural College. 'ort Collins Colo )
Itlncklcg In calves seems to have
become moro virulent of late. Vac-
cination will prevent the disease In
most cases but not nil. Another dlfll-
culty lies In tlio fact that after ad-
ministering tho vaccine calves are
not protected against tho disease for
a period ot about two weeks nnd In
tho meantime If the herd Is Infected
mnny of them may die. There Is now
n blackleg serum on tho market which
will give Immediate protection nnd
Cfmblncd with tho virus will give
lasting Immunity. The serum also has
curative value If given early In tho
course of tho disease.
Tho Kansas Agricultural college
makes the statement that "a highly
IKicat blackleg serum can be pro-
duced from the horse." The claim Is
also mado that tho filtered lluld taken
from the diseased tlssuo of the
shoulder has great immunizing proi-
ertles This marks n great advance In the
control of blackleg but does not In
tho least detract frdm the importance
of absolutely destroying the carcass of
every animal that dies from blackleg
and adopting nil other possible pre-
ventive measures.
ALFALFA NEGLECTED
BY SHEEP BREEDERS
When Carefully Fed and Pas-
tured Hay Is One of Best
Roughages for Animals.
Alfalfa when carefully fed and pas-
lured Is one of the best roughages for
sheep. In the opinion of A. 21. Pater-
son instructor in animal husbandry So
tho Kansas State Agricultural college.
"Tho rapid Increase In tho produc-
tioa of alfalfa In tho United States
during recent years lias resulted In
a more careful study ot Its possibilities
ns n food for all classes of live Aock"
aid Mr. X'aterson. "Formerly it was
ON IRRIGATED CROPS
rlgatlon project $0.00 a ton for nlfalfa
hajln the stack Is considered a good
price. This figure was adopted by tho
Investigators In their experiments
and they fixed the value ot com at
$1.07 a hundredweight and of gains of
pork nt 7 cents a jmund. The labor
cost of caring for the hogs was as-
sumed to be the same as that of har-
vesting the hay crop.
On this basis U wns found that tho
net return per acre ranged from $45.03
when the hogs had nothing but nlfalCu
to 51CS.23 when they were fed In ad-
dition a S per cent ration of com. The
rate of gain and the carrying capacity
of the pasture Increased with the quan-
tity of grain fed. As n supplement It
was found that ground barley was ap-
proximately as efficient pound for
IHjund. ns shelled corn.
Uy allowing the hogs to graze the
alfalfa It was found thnt they re-
turned In pork an equivalent of from
$S.1C to $a0.-JS for each ton of hay
that would otherwise have been har-
vested from the alfalfa fields. The
lowest figure $3.10 Is considerably
higher than the market prices for nl-
falfa hay nnd the highest figure
$30.4S obtained when the hogs re-
ceived c p per cent ration of corn. Is
obviously much more thnn the fanner
could hope to obtain from any other
method of disposing of his alfalfa
crop.
The practice of hogging down corn
proved to be. much more profitable
when hogs had access to alfalfn pas-
ture as well. In two years experi-
ments the nverago gain without the
pasture wns placed at $o2.03 per acre
whereas with alfalfn pasture it roso
to $Co.l0. Put In another way. It was
found thnt without supplementary feed
hogs paid $1.34 per hundredweight ot
corn nnd $1.55 when they had alfalfa
pasture ns well. With the use of tank-
age Instead of alfalfa the return was
$1.C0 per hundredweight of corn. It Is
evident therefore that the use of
cither alfalfa or tankage with com re-
sults In more rapid nnd cheaper gains
than when the hogs nie turned Into
tho com and receive no other feed.
used primarily as n cattle feed but
now It Is used widely as a fcea for
horses swine end sheep.
"Less uso has been made of nlfalfa
for sheep however than for any other
class of live stock. Experience and
experiments have shown Its wonderful
value as a sheep feed. Its vnlue for
this purpose will be still greater In tho
future than nt present.
"When alfalfn Is pastured great caro
should be taken to prevent bloat. If
tho alfalfa has become woody or Is
mixed with other grasses tho danger
Is somewhat lessened. Care bhould bo
taken at all times however. Before
turning the sheep on alfalfa they
should be filled up on hay fodder or
other roughage and turned out only
when the alfalfa Is free from molsturo
ot nny kind.
'They i-hould he allowed to pasturo
only n short time tho first day mid the
length of tlmo should be Increased a
HtUo from day to day until the sheep
aro accustomed to the feed. Tlock-
piasters have found that It Is never
safe to give sheep free access to al-
falfn pasture.
"Alfalfa hay Is ndapted to tho feed-
ing of sheep because It Is a cheap
source of protein and also because It
supplies enough bulk so thnt sheep
may bo fed to advantage on It ulone.
The amount of alfalfa fed will de-
pend upon the price and the nroouut
available. When It Is cheap and plen-
tiful nnd other roughages are scarce
alfalfa could compose the entire ration
for tho flock. On the other hand when
bay1 Is scarce nnd high priced the ra-
tion could be made up partly of straw
fodder.'nnd like roughages. Compared
with other roughages nlfalfa ns a
sheep feed has tho advantage espe-
cially where grown In largo amounts.
"In experimental feeding trtujs av-
eraging 100 days each alfalfa was com-
pared with timothy and prairie hay.
Tho lots fed alfalfn mado greater gains
nnd required less feed per 100 pounds
than did the lottf fed timothy and
prairie hay."
LIME NEEDED FOR ALFALFA
Most Practical and Satisfactory Plan
Described to Determine Per-
plexing Point.
If there is soma doubt as to the ne-
cessity for liming for alfalfa tho most
practical nnd satisfactory way to de-
termine this point Is to cow a small
field to nlfalfa liberally llmlng-a part
of It and leaving; a part uifllmed. Tha
growth ot alfalfa In the two parts wia
be a good test of the need for lime.

The sketch shows a very becoming

erence. Bands of black velvet give
thu necessary trimming touch. The

erally much more comfortable thnn
one requiring hooks or buttons to keep

The back of the negligee shown has
the coat skirt of lace running straight
around the redlngote type of opening
appearing only In the front. The
double velvet belt or girdle may bo
secured with n metal buckle or the
ribbon velvet may be tied In a loug
loop and end bow.
Turquoise bluo chiffon for tho nc-
cordlon plaited skirt ecru filet laco
nnd black velvet nre suggested as an
attractive fabric and color combina-
tion for the negligee shows. The
bride might udd n garment of this
type to her trousseau employing
color and fabrc to suit her purse and
individual taste and complexion.

TRIMMING FOR TUB FROCKS
Stitching Will Be Popular Sometimes
' Done With Heavy Thread to Sim-
ulate Narrow Braid.
In making up tub frocks for the com-
ing summer stitching Is a popular
trimming touch-and sometimes It Is
done with a heavy linen thread so
that n narrow braid Is simulated. An-
other popular decorative touch Is the
use of narrow bands or bins pieces of
contrasting fabric stitched on. For
exnraple frocks of sheer cotton voile
nre trimmed -In bands of heavy linen
usually In contrasting cojor.
Lingerie frocks will bo popular this
summer. Early appearance In the best
shops promises n vogue not based sole-
ly on torrid weather. Usually lingerie
frocks are not pushed at all by the
shops until May or .until tho near ar-'
rival of hot weather but this year they
came In along with tho major style
showing.
Many sljeer voiles organdies dotted
mulins etc are shown and this
trend In frocks has also served to
stimulate a demand for ribbons which
trim them In various ways and nro
used as sashes girdles etc.
FOR THE TWELVE-YEAR-OLD
Wool Edging Used as Trimming for
Novel and Picturesque Party
Dress for Young Girl.
This season the designers havo cre-
ated some very charming dresses for
children. One of the most novel and
picturesque was a party dress for a
girl of twelve.
Tho dress was of apricot pink crepo
de chine made with a simple little bod-
Ice open In the front with a wldo box
plait which concealed tho buttons be-
l ninth. Tho small flat collar was ot the
..-.''tafc:!.'.'"v1 T "
rme material aiJ the cuffs were the
same width as tho collar. The skirt
wns a plain gathered one With a wldo
hem.
Around the bdttom of the tf rcss and
down tho front on either side of tho
box plait white wool wati threaded
through tho material In plnln running
stitch.
The most novel feature was tho wool
edging used as n trimming. Around
the edge of tho collnr nnd cuffs also at
the top of the hem an edging wni
crocheted with white wool and thon
with n row of china blue.
The box plait wns ornamented by5
three largo tight halls ot china bluo
wool suspended by wool chains two
Inches long.
At tho belt line a cordlike nffnlr was
used. It was composed of eight or ten
strands of the bluo yarn couched nt
Intervals! of three-quarters of an Inch. '
The color effect was charming nnd tho
dress was really beautiful.
TUNIC BLOUSE IN NEW FORM
Made of Filmy Fabrics and Richly Em-
broidered It Is Different From
Those of Other Daye.
The French dressmakers hnve Intro-
duced a variation In the tunic or
basque blouse which Is merely a re-
production of nn. old Egyptian gar-
ment whlcli Is belted In nt tlio waist-
line mnde of tranpnrent nnd colorful
fabrics and lavishly heaped with em-
broidery In beads paillettes and silk
lloss.
Tho Introduction of this garment
does not strike one n3 particularly new
for we have worn the tunic In one
form or another for two seasons; but
when the new version ot It Is dropped
over a narrow or a straight plaited
skirt and mndo In Its most approved
manner it tnkes on n different aspect
from the tunics of other days says a
fashion authority In the New York
Times.
It Is cut somewhat In the manner of
a Chinese kimono and the material Is
so filmy that It falls ngalnst the skirt
without ungraceful fullness.
The buyers have brought out subtlo
shades of coloring for these tunics and
the embroideries hnve Introduced old
methods of needlework such an
shadow scallops In gold nnd sliver
with symbolic designs ot Egypt In
terra cottn nnd turquoise blue.
The woman who has a good skirt
for afternoon or evening wear may
find these Alexandrian tunics n Joy
and n blessing.
Jenny brings out n number of theso
tunics that reach to nnd sometimes
below tho knees. They nre of chiffon
nnd tulle and sometimes In the thin
gauzo tissue that has been revived
from the looms of the thirteenth cen-
tury. RARE BEAUTY AMONG SUITS
There are hundreds upon hundred!
of varieties In the latest fashions dis-
patched from Dame Fashion's shop
but there are few to compare with
this. It Is perfectly made of Paisley
satin with a sash of plain king blue
satin that Is knotted In front. Th
collar and cuffs are edged with the
same material. The skirt has not the
clean-cut effect but a baggy Turkish-
trouser effect. The sporty hat tilted
at Just the correct angle Is covered
with embroidered silk.
Tip for Home Dressmakers.
When you are dressmaking nnd you

Bib Collar Something New.
The bib collar Is decidedly new and
different. Designed for wear with tha
slip-on blousn or dress It is tho same
back and front puzzling as to ways ot
getting In nnd out of It. It Is achieved
by a deep sailor back and front built
on a moro or less rounded neck.
