This hns been truo so long that tho

In tho mntter of shoes nnd tho ndvnnco

practlco of pinching tho foot or wenr-

heols moderately high nnd very stronc
and n general npponrnnco of strength
nnd durability In tho cntlro make-up
For such shoes tans and blncks nr
naturally most popular. Ono may gel
thorn In brown gun metal ox blood
nnd probably n similar shoo In othci
colors. Kid nnd calfskin furnish th6
mnterlnls of tho greatest number ol
modols In street shoes. In Fig. 1 nn
Ideal shoo for general wenr Is Bhown
It Is ns trim nnd senslblo looking ns
tho plnln and hnndsomo tailored gown

nnd shows tho samo beauty nnd slm
pllclty In cut tho snmo enro In Its

without saying nlmost is tho first
essential in nny woman's shoe-outfit-
ting. Theso sho must havo be she
poor or rich. Happily tho prico is
not nbovo tho rench of any ono. Two
pairs of wnlklng shoos in good con-
dition should bo nlwnyB on hnnd nnd
worn nlternntcly. Ono should keep
tho pnlr not In use on shootrees nnd
In good shnpo ns to cleanliness. . Oc-
casional attention to tho heols whero
thoro Is n tendency to wenr them off
nt ono Bldo will prolong tho llfo nnd
keep tho shnpo of tho shoo. It Is n
good Iden to hnvo ono pnlr with high
tops so that the ankles will bo protect-
ed In wet weather. Nothing repays
enro better than shoes. A Bhnhby ap
penrnnco Is tho fault of tho wearer
nnd nny Bhoo man will toll us that
proper core In keeping up tho good
nppcaranco of shoos lengthens ttioii
term of sorvico by hnlf tho usual time
of wearing.
Street shoes nro distinctly not fot
tho house. A pnlr of slippers or n sof-
ter dressier boot should replaco them
Indoors. This chnngo Is good for the
shoo for tho wunrcr nnd for tho floors
If ono lives In a liouso with n summet
ntmosphoro nil winter there Is no
reason- why slippers should not be
worn. A lovely slipper Is shown In
Fig. 2. Every woman should provide
herself with such n pnlr. Most of nil
tho business woman who' Is apt to
coma homo fntlgued from n trying or
n monotonous day. A slmplo toilet
finished with n dainty nnd comfort-
nble pnlr of slippers. Tho "feel" of
tho light flexible nnd womanish slip-
per seems to pcrvndo ono. It shows
In tho carriage nnd nmouuts to n posi-
tive refreshment. A little gown fot
evening wenr at homo should bo ot
tho snmo characteristics us this slip-
per slmplo pretty nnd most easily
taken off nnd put on.
A dress Bhoo Is nnother esscntlnl
to tho wnrdrobo. This Is lighter In
mnko than n street shoo and a grent
vnrloty of stylos Is shown to solect
from. Where tho purso allows only
ono pnlr a fine plain 'well-mndo kid
hoot llko that shown in Fig. 3 Is the
happiest choice. This model Is cut on
beautiful "classy" linos. Ono may buy
It with patent leather tip or vnmp
or in dull-finished kid. Tho modornte
French heel Is graoeful nnd redeems
tho model from too severe lines with
just n hint of tho frivolous In shoes
Tho cloth top shoo shown In Fig. 4
Is for those who rcqulro a llttlo more
elaboration in n dress shoo or fot
thoso who wish to match a costumo
It is vory quiot by comparison with
tho footwenr of thoso ultra fashion
ablcs who can indulgo thoraselves Ii
luxuries in shoes as woll as othet
things. Tho cloth top hns a volvet col
lnr and is finished with a silk cord nnc
tassels. Tho Cuban heol brings tin
design down to earth as it wore at
that milady may wear this boot on i
clcnr day with n visiting gown whor
sho goes to pay hor calls or to nttenc
some of thoso gatherings for whlct
sho muBt "dress up" a bit. This beau
tlful boot Is dressy enoutfh for any oo

Ensllago may bo roughly defined as

ing material. Tho succulent material
Is usually green corn In this country.
Other materials sometimes UBCd are

horso beans ensiled alono or with
corn. Green rye wheat oats and oth-
ers of tho grasses nro sometimes
used.
Soino practical ensilage users think
that certain of tho legumes such ns
alfalfa clovor field peas cow peas or
soy beans mixed with corn mnko a
much moro desirable ensilage than
does corn nlonc. Three reasons nro
offered for thli preference:
1. Stock enjoy this mixed ensilage
better.
2. Stock thrive better upon it.
3. Such nn ensllngo approaches more

It Is better to cut It but It Is not Im-

the nlr can bo kept most completely
from coming In contact with tho en-

A silo may bo defined as a deep
chnmber with air-tight walls In which
green fodders nro preserved in n mild-
ly fermented condition for future feed-
ing. in n good silo tho wnll should bo

get Into tho ensllngo nnd promote

GOOD FEED PLAN FOR HOGS
It's tho nature of hogs to bo hog-
gish. Unless prevented they will climb
Into their troughs and upon each oth-
er thereby wasting their slop and nn-
noylng their feeder. A swinging door
supplied with Iron nrms such as aro
Illustrated In tho sketch given below
has proven of great service Tho iron
arms keep the hogs separated and
prevent them from piling upon each
other. The doors aro swung Into tho
pen and fastened there by means of n
wooden peg and pocket whllu the
B. Inner
tween tho ensllngo nnd the wall ol
tho silo ns tho ensllago settles. The alt
will work Into these spaces with the
affects mentioned above.
Tho walls should bo strong and rig
Id. If they do not possess theso quail
ties they will crack or spring nnd alt
will bo admitted to effect tho spoiling
of the ensilage.
The walls should bo sufficiently
non-conducting ("warm") to prevent
extensive freezing of tho outer por-
tions of tho onsllago In cold weather.
Such portions ns ndhero to tho walls
by freezing nro likely to spoil if they
thaw out slowly.
Dullt of stone brack or coment tho
walls may bo mado sufficiently strong
to produce a perfect silage tho round
silo being the most popular type.
Tho Illustration shows a view of tho
hollow-wnlled cement silo of L. A. Por-
ter Adrnln Mich. It hns an insido
dlamater of 12 feet and stands 3C feet
high above tho floor. Tho floor stands
4 feet below tho Burfnce of tho
ground and six Inchos nbovo tho bot-
tom of tho foundation.
Tho lower three feet of the founda-
tion Is of cobblo stones and coment;
tho upper two feet Is of concrete. Tho
foundation Is 10& Inches wldo nt tho
top and brondens Inwnrd and outward
to about 17 Inches nt tho base tho
floor having a diameter of only 11 feet.
Tho silo wnll nbovo ground hns n uni-
form thickness of eight Inches nnd Is
unique In Its construction. Forms nro
used In Its construction but tho wall
Is rendered "hollow" first by tho uso
of forms and second by tho building
Into tho wnll of tiers of No. 2 three-
inch drain tiles. Tho Illustration rep-
resents n horizontal cross-section of
tho wnll. It shows not only tho nr-
rnngement of tho tile and other hollow
spaces but also tho outer and Inner
forms tho plan of the door frame and
tho manner of re-enforcing tho wnlls
with tho vitro cables. Tho hollow
spaces formed by tho tile and by tho
forms are continuous. The tiles begin
six feet nbove the foundation form
spaces lying bolow the tile. Tho Inner
form was built of 2xx26 Inch pieces of
pine nailed upon two circles of elm.
Each of theso circles was built up of
two by three Inch pieces. All of theso
pieces were cut to circles of proper
radius.
The outer form was built of five by
one-half Inch strips nailed outside and
nt tho ends of tho ribs. Theso forms
wero clamped into placo by means of
two one-half Inch bolts In each form
swill or slop la being emptied Into the
troughs. This prevents spilling and
wasting which Is practically neces-
sary whero tho feeder has to fight
with tho herd to got the slops Into the
troughs.
Care of Boar.
Do not pen up tho boar and stuff
him with corn or other feed. Ho needs
exerclso musclo-mnklng feeds and
green forngo If possible. Vigor and
health must bo present If the best re-
sults; aro to bo expect.

NEW RAILWAYS IN
CENTRAL CANADA
AMERICAN SETTLERS WELCOME
AND DOING WELL.
Tho Portland Oregonlnn of Port
land Oregon published n cartoon on
tho immigration of U. 8. pcoplo tc
Canada in Its Issuo of Octobor 5
1909. Tho picturo was accompanied
by tho following article:
"Losing American Citizens. Tho ex
odus of Amorlcnn farmers to Canada
continues to bo a phenomenon of the
first Importnnco. Moro of them im
crossing tho border this fall than
over beforo and they nro flocking
from all parts of tho country. Former-
ly It was tho Mlddlo West alono which
thus lost tho heart of Its citizenship.
Now all sections of tho Union suffer
nllko. Tho regret which we cannot
help feeling over tho migration ot
many thousnnds of excellent citizens
hns an economic sldo which causes
soino concern. Tho 70000 fnrmcrs
who will go to Canada to livo this fall
will tako with them some $70000000
In cash nnd effects. This Is by no
means n negligible sum and makes a
very appfeclablo drain on our yro-
sources. But of course tho mosrs-
rlous loss is the men themselves and
their families who havo forsaken tho
land oi tho free and tho homo of tho
bravo to dwell under tho rulo of a.
monarch.
Why do they go? Naturally tho
cheap and fertllo land of Western Can-
ada nttracts them. Each emigrant
goes with n rcasonablo expectation of
bettering his fortune. Indeed in n
fewyears ho may grow rich through
tho abundant crops ho can raise and
tho Increaso of land values. But per-
haps that is not tho solo reason for
tho astonishing migration. Thcro is
a common notion nbroad that in Can
ada llfo nnd property nro appreciably
safer than thoy aro here. Murdors
nro not so frequent nnd nro moro
speedily and surely punished. Mobs
and tho so-called 'unwritten law' aro
virtually unknown in Canada. Again
tho law is a vastly moro ascertainable
entity there Canada does not per-
mit Its judges to veto nets of tho leg-
islative body. When a statute has
been enacted It is known to bo tho
law of tho land until It is repealed
this naturally Imparts to Canadian
civilization a security and stability
which wo havo not yet attained.
"Wo must remember in the same
connection that tho Canadian protec-
tive tariff Is far less exorbitant than
ours and much less boldly arranged
for tho benefit of special favorites.
Hence thero Is an Impression very
widely diffused that the Canadians
aro not so wickedly robbed by tho
trusts as wo aro in this country. Ron-
tons llko these sufficiently account for
tho oxodus of a body of citizens whom
wo can 111 afford to lose but thoy do
not much nssunge our regret that they
cannot bo retained in tho United
States."
Speaking of U1I3 n Canadian Gov-
ernment representatlvo says that tho
Americans who cross tho border nro
most welcome Tho splendid areas
of virgin soil n largo quantity of which
Is given away as freo homesteads. Uo
closo to existing railways and to thoso
under construction. Tho railway lines
that aro asslstiug in this development
nro tho Canadian Pacific tho Cana-
dian Northern nnd tho Grand Trunk
Pacific. Tho latter Is built entirely on
Canadian soil and hns opened up a
wonderful stretch of land. Along this
lino during thoyear about closed thou-
sands of American settlors havo mado
their homes. They havo built tho
towns nnd Immediately began ns fac-
tors in tho building up of tho great
Canadian West.
Agents of tho Government nro lo-
cated In vnrious cities throughout the
United Stntes who will bo pleased to
glvo any Information that may bo de-
sired to further tho interest of tho
settler.
