DAIRY HERD IN WINTER
BREED JF OR THE FARM FLOCK
First Essential Is That Cows Be
Kept Comfortable
Right Kind of Feed Goes Long Way
Toward Bringing About Contented
State of Mind — Several Im-
portant Factors
(By W M KELLY)
Good stable management Is an Im-
portant factor in determining tbe
profits from tbe dairy herd during tbe
winter Tbe first essential Is that tbe
cows be comfortable because-a cow
kept otherwise can never do ber best
Sbe must have a comfortable place
to lie down stand up move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body Sbe must have sun-
shine and plenty of light She must
have pure air to breathe and this
means that tbe stable must be pro-
vided with some system of ventila-
tion to give a frequent change of air
- This need not be expensive only a
little forethought and -a few dollars1
worth of material and labor Sbe
must have good pure water at least
twice a day or better still have an
automatic water basin at ber side
The stable should be cleaned dally
and be thoroughly disinfected Tbe
ceiling floor and sides should be all
smooth and of concrete construction
and tbe fixtures largely iron It is not
expensive and they are sanitary and
permanent
Large smooth concrete mangers fot
feeding are about the best we know
of today Judgment and common
sense must be exercised in the meth-
ods of feeding and handling the cowb
Fixed rules in feeding are not prac-
tical Overfeeding is wasteful underfeed
ing is unprofitable The cows must be
well nourished at all times but if
given more than they need for main-
tenance and production they waste
it as a rule
Never stir up- dust or roul odors at
milking time If you do a lot of it
is sure to get into the milk
Whether to feed the cows just be-
fore milking is a much debated ques-
tion It is not at all dangerous to
feed them a little grain provided you
stir up no dust or disagreeable odors
As a rule the cows will give down
their milk more freely when they have
Farmer Must 8ult Himself and Market
Conditions In Selecting Variety—
Discard the 8crub -
As with most of our domestic ani-
mals there is absolutely no best breed
of bens if there was there would soon
be only that one breed left while
now tone hardly dares say bow many
good breeds there are without first
consulting the very latest issue of
the Standard of Perfection
Then suit yourself and your mar-
ket conditions in selecting your
breed but select some one breed and
stick to it” nntil you the best
flock of that breed in tbe county or
state The color of the shell of tbe
egg has much to do with the market
demand for San Francisco demands
SMOCKING WELL LIKED designed forwarm days
DAINTY ADORNMENT POPULAR
WITH ALL
Grown-Ups as Well as Children Have
Their Garments So Beautified—
Developing Color Sense In
- the Little Ones
That charming art of smocking is
very prominent this season and both
grown-ups and children wear garments
that are daintily smocked in self-stitch-ing
or contrasting colors Loose
wraps particularly are often smocked
and this work not only makes tbe
wrap set well but serves as an adorn-
ment too
Perhaps from association of ideas
and perhaps from the very daintiness
of the needlework smocking has al-
ways been considered especially ap-
propriate to and undoubtedly is ever
becoming to little children Tbe dress
illustrated gives a very simple
smocked dress with smocking at tbe
wrist as well as around the yoke
Some lovely little blue and pink frocks
are smocked with white and vice
versa and a mother with a sense of
the artistic will add sash and hair rib-
bons to match the color of the smock-
ing The writer saw one little girl lay
her ribbons upon the stripes in her
school frock and pick out tbe shade
that matched the stripe she consid-
ered most effective The child's sense
Fine Type for Farm
a clear white egg while Boston wants
a rich brown color and the interme-
diate cities all the way across may
in a way take almost any color but
most city retailers find it to their
advantage to separate the colors to
suit individual customers
But never no never fool away very
much time with "scrub" or mongrel
stock on the farm and don’t try to
keep too many breeds or you may soon
have a lot of mongrels yourself
Even on the regular poultry ranch
where many breeds are kept strange
“mixeries” sometimes happen in
some most unexplainable way
It is often claimed that mixed
breeds or "scrubs” lay better than
purebreds but a careful investigation
will generally prove that the feed
care and perhaps the age of the birds
has more to do with the egg product
than the simple fact that they are
cross-bred
But while different markets demand
different colored eggs there is no mar-
ket on this continent at least that
demands a dirty or stained egg or
an egg that has been under a broody
hen for a night or two or one that
has been out in the sun for several
days Gather dally at least and ship
at least weekly
Profitable Dairy Type
contented minds and a little of the
right kind of feed goes a long way
toward bringing about this contented
state of mind -Never clean the stables
Just before milking for it will stir up
a tenfold worse odor than any feed
the cows will eaL
Surrounding conditions have much
to do with the milk-producing value of
any ration
Dairy cows cannot make as good
use of whole grain as they can of
grain that has been ground
In the generality of cases heifers
with their fl-st calf do not show as
high a test of buttertat as they do at
a more mature age
A period of rest before freshening
will usually produce a larger flow of
milk than where the animal is milked
close up to calving
A man can better afford to sell but-
ter at the cost of production than to
sell grain that Is when the selling
price of the butter Includes the feeds
and labor at their market value
Fall Job In the Garden
After garden stuff is all gathered in
the fall cover the entire garden with
straw then burn the straw This de-
stroys all weed seeds as well as insect
eggs and larvae leaving the garden
clean for the following year Then
cover the garden with manure so as to
keep the charred straw or ashes from
blowing away as well as to fertilize
the soil for next year
HOW TO GROW BLACKBERRIES
Fruit Will Not Thrive In Dry Places
- Plenty of Moisture Is Needed—
Cultivate Constantly
Blackberries need plenty of mois-
ture and it will not pay to plant them
on the top of some dry knoll for tbe
fruit will not grow to perfection in
such dry places and it will be hard
and sour ' Choose a place where the
ground is of good quality and where
there is plenty of moisture
Prepare the ground thoroughly by
'plowing and harrowing before plant-
ing and make the ' ground -mellow
down quite deep where you set the
plants You cannot be too particular
in this respect — remember you are set-
ting them out for profit and not simply
to see whether they will grow or noL
They should be set about four feet
apart one way and eight feet the
other way
Keep the ground loose by constant
cultivation and the sooner you can
get a good large bush the sooner you
will get fruit and keeping tbe ground
loose will help to keep It moisl
Look Out for Horse’s Shoes
Rough up the shoes of the team that
has to do any hard work these sleety
days for the slipping and Blldlng that
is Incidental to work on the road in
smooth shoes is a continual strain
on the muscles and has the tendency
to make the horse not only stiff hut
very sore
Essential to 8quab Raising
Good breeding stock is essential of
success in squab raising but as it is
difficult to tell the age and sex of
pigeons (and age Is very Important)
it Is necessary to buy from reliable
breeders and preferably those who
guarantee their product
Grapes and Waste Land
There are thousands of acres that
from year to year scarcely furnish
feed for one cow that would do well
if planted with the right kind of
grapes and properly cared for
Dormant 8praying
The "dormant spraying” which de-
stroys tbe bark scale and the eggs of
Injurious Insects is the most Impor-
tant Bpraylng of the year in the judg
ment of some orchardists
Change Feed Gradually
Changes in feed when necessary
should be made gradually Unneces-
sary changing about of poultry la to
be avoided
The Dry Cow
Some cows should go dry longer
than others but every cow will need
a season of rest of at least a month
or six weeks
Pruning Fruit Trees
Some kinds of fruit trees and vines
need to be pruned annually while
others may be but rarely and little
pruned -
This charming set of hat cushion and
workbag are primarily designed for
the lazy days at Palm Beach when
one can sit on the sand and while
watching the waves be engaged in
sewing shirts for soldiers or other
good deeds accomplished with
needles and thread The entire com-
bination Is of old rose The sweater
Is one of old rose and white stripes
The hat la an old rose creation and
the skirt Is a white corduroy one

College Professor’s Explanation Must

tory to Old Lady
Unless a cyclist is a "scorcher"
there is no need generally speaking
to make any efford to avoid him He -will
look out for the collisions -
A lady was crossing the street "
when she saw a bicycle rider coming
toward her She stopped then dodged
backward and as he had swerved in
brder to pass behind her there was a
collision and both took a fall but
neither was hurt!
“If you hadn’t wabbled sir” she
said angrily as he assisted her to
rise "this wouldn’t have happened!"
“Neither would It have happened
madam" he replied “if you hadn’t
wabbled or if you had wabbled in a
sontrary direction from my wabble
it was our concurrent and synchron-
ous wabbling so to speak that
caused it"
Then the cyclist a college profes-
sor doffed his cap mounted his
wheel and rode off

HELPS IN THE SEWING ROOM
8mall Hints That Will Be Appreciated
by Matron Who Haa Work to
Do at Home
A plain broad hem is always an ef-
fective finish to a tea or tray cloth It
will stand repeated launderings and is
far better than using a cheap lace or
badly worked crochet edging
Any piece of fancy work will show
to tbe best advantage if care is taken
in matching linings ribbons or cords
used in the making up Do not be con-
tent with a shade that is not exactly
right
Have you tried coffee grounds as a
filling for pincushions? They should
of course be well dried and packed
very tightly into the case Needles
and pins kept in such a cushion will
not rust
The old-fashioned emery cushion is
a most useful possession to the needle-
woman especially when working in
hot weather Passing a needle through
an emery cushion two or three times
polishes it and makes it pass through
materials smoothly -
Crocheted laces and edgings will set
better if they are shrunk beforB being
sewn to the article to be trimmed
Black and White
Hats of black and white continue to
command their share of popularity
and street hats of black velvet or
satin are trimmed with white plum-
age black and white striped ribbon
white braid or white beaded birds or
Sowers
Regarding skirts aside from their
greater width and their maintenance
of short lehgths the most remarkable
feature about them is the use of crino-
line and haircloth The latter have
actually arrived For many weeks and
months there have been rumors to
the effect that they were on the way
and at last these rumors have been
substantiated in many of the dresses
sent from Paris to America and re-
cently exhibited
A model from Jeanne Lanvin for
Instance uses black malines in count-
less yards cut in flounce arrangement
and mounted over crinoline without
any interposition of satin or other
softening material 1 The malines is
gathered very freely and thereby part-
ly conceals the unlovely foundation
The hem of the crinoline is stiffened
with an inch-wide band of haircloth
also uncovered
The skirt shows two flounces mount-
ed over the stiffened foundation The
malines forming the flounces is
striped around by bands of black satin
ribbon whose edges are defined with
white crystal beads These ribbons
are again used on the blouse hanging
free from the edge of the semidecol-
letage and serving to break the stiff
line of the mode— which by the way
the designer calls Velasquez
The truly Spanish feature of this
frock aside from its farthingale sug-
gestion lies in the odd collar of close-
ly plaited white mousseline which is
placed across the front of the gown
to edge the round line of the low neck
This collar is in reality an adaptation
of the sort of ruff seen in the por-
traits of Philip U' Its application to
the modern gown is unique because it
does not touch the throat and more-
over it does not extend across the
back

8klrts Cover Boot Tope
Skirts are short but not too short
which means that for the street they
cover at least the upper edge of the
buttoned boot Dancing frocks worn
with slippers may be a trifle shorter
In many Instances outer tunics of
chiffon or indestructible voile fall sev-
eral inches below the foundation skirt
of silk or satin and the ankles appear
to be covered until one glimpses the
smart buttoned boots through the
transparent tunic

PRE88ED HARD
Coffee’s Weight on Old Age
When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the better health
that a change to Postum can bring
they are usually glad to lend their
testimony for the benefit of others
“My mother since her early child-
hood was an inveterate coffee drink-
er had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years and complained
of that ‘weak-all-over’ feeling and side
stomach
“Some time ago I was making a
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the mer-
chants of the place I noticed a some-
what unusual flavor of the ‘coffee’
and asked him concerning it He re-
plied that it was Postum
“I was so pleased with it that I
bought a package to carry home with
me and had wife prepare some for
the next meat The whole family
liked it so well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely
"I had been very anxious concern-
ing my mother’s condition but we
noticed that after using Postum for
a short time she felt much better had
little trouble with her heart and no
sick stomach that the headaches
were not so frequent and her general
condition much Improved This con-
tinued until she was well and hearty
"I know Postum has benefited my-
self and the other members of the
family especially my mother as she
was a victim of long standing” Name
given by Postum Co Battle Creek

Postum comes in two forme:
Postum Cereal— the original form—
muBt be well boiled 15o and 25c pack-
egos Instant Postum— a soluble feowder—
dissolves quickly in a cup of hot wa-
ter and with cream and sugar makes
a delicious beverage Instantly SOo
and SOo tins
Both kinds are equally dellcloui
and cost about the same per cup
