Increased Need and Use .
for Home Ground Feed
Increased use and need for ground
feed among dairymen and poultry-
men have led to many developments
In feed grinding equipment An in
crease in the amount of available
power on farms In the form of trac
tors; electric motors and gasoline en
gines has made farm grinding^ an
easier and simpler matter while Im
provements in the construction of the
grinders themselves have made them
more efficient fend cheaper to operate.
Observations Indicate that both
home grinding and custom grinding Is
on the Increase. Under average con
ditions, custom grinding Is generally
considered cheaper for the farmer
who needs less thdn 200 bushels of
ground feed per year. On farms us
ing more than 400 bushels of ground
feed In the course of a year, grinding
can be done at home with Individual
equipment at a considerable saving.
If as much as 700 bushels of grain are
to be ground annually, an individual
grinder on the farm will do the job at
about half the cost of the custom
grinder.

Roasting Corn Borer
in Very Practical Way
The European corn borer has been
“roasted** continually for years by
those who hove had their fields de
vastated as well as by those who fear
Its Infaslou. Now It la found that It
can be roasted In a practical way, aays
the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
There Is a danger of spreading this
peat by way of seed corn. Some one
might bring a single ear of seed corn
Into a dean district and from that
might spread the scourge. It Is found,
however, that tbe borrer In the cob
or grains can he killed by heat.
Tbe United States Deportment of
Agriculture re|»orts that a tempera
ture of 11)8.4 degrees, maintained for
24 hoars, will kill IL Tbe same le
an It will come from 140 degrees for
eight hours; 145.4 degree* for five
hoars: 150S degrees for three hours,
or 1M4 degree* for two and a half
hours. This would he a very low oven
temperature. This la a good tiling to
know and may help In preventing (be
spread of this daogeroita peat.

“Five acres of poor sandy land were

“Th. first crop was com and soy

This was turned under ahead of cot

og cholera seems to be slightly less
revalent this year than last, and last
year losses from the disease were the
lowest since the United States Depart
ment of agriculture has been keeping
records. Dr. U. G. Houck, associate
chief of the bureau of animal industry
announced In a summary of informa
tion assembled from thirty-one states.
In four of these states, however—
Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska and Ohio
—hog cholera is more prevalent than
last year. Approximately the same
amount of cholera as last year was
reported for Colorado, Kentucky North
Carolina, Texas,' Illinois, Mississippi,.
Tennessee, and Wisconsin.
Less Cholera Reported.
In Alabama, California, Georgia,
Kansas, Maryland, Oklahoma, South
Dakota, Virginia, Washington, West
Virginia, Arkansas, Iowa, Florida,
Idaho, Louisiana, Missouri, South
Carolina, Utah, and Oregon observers
report less cholera this year than last.
With the exception of three states the
decreases are slight, but Oklahoma re
ports a redaction of 50 per cent, Lou
isiana 40 per cent, and Idaho 30 per
cent.
“The hog cholera situation. In gen
eral,^ said Doctor Houck, “teems to
be somewhat better than last year.
According to our Information there
has been considerable Increase this
year over last year In the amount of
Ituronnlcatlon agalnat hog cholera In
fifteen of the thirty-one atatea. There
was do appreciable difference In nine
states and seven states report leas I
munlzatloo thso Isst year. 1 *
Doctor Houck referred to a report
from Idaho stating that most of tbe
hog cholera of gtcent mouth* occurred
on farms where there bad been pur
rhaaee at public grounds of onlmmun-
I zed animals. A middle-western vet
crioartan explained occasional “break* 1
of tbe serum usually occurred when
“too little attention Is given to the
condition of the herd Immediately
prior to Immunisation.** the cot
queore of administering virus when
the animal* were not In fit physical
condition to receive It. In such cases
losses are likely to be severe.
Harm Dana by V and ora.
Doctor Houck also quoted an ob
server of tbe swine Industry In Ne
braska at saying that “vendor* of
swine remedies have become Inc teas
Ingly prevalent during the last few
years In Nebraska. In many cases
they have caused owners of sick herds
to delay In securing competent veter
inary assistance until too late to snve
their bogs, la other cases the reme
dies fed to prevent sickness have ac*
tually caused sickness." This otiaerv
er ilao emphasizes the desirability of
raising hogs under the IcLean C'omf *
ty system of sanitation as sponsored
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, comments on the deslra
blllty of feeding balanced rations, and
emphasizes the advisability of Imme
diately employing a competent veter
inarian when disease appears in a
herd.

Not for many scores of moons has
brown so taken the world of style as
at the present
time. And. tbe
masculine lords of
creatlo n have
meekly followed
along with their
women folk; so
that much brown
is seen in suits for
men's wear on
practieiUy all oc
casions. except
those where black
is the. only admis
sible garb. When
these brown suits are matched in silk
and leather for hose and shoes—per
haps with hat and top coat, and s
flash of brightness given In the tie,
what more could the average man
want?
In the meantime, black velvet Is
forging ahead In feminine approval—
that material which never will go out
of style so long as water runs over
tbe river beds. Many of these curious
little short evening wraps will be
made of black velvet perhaps heavily
banded with fur. The black velvet,
net or crepe evening gown has an
Important place this year and never
loses Its dignity.

Tractors Are Gaining
on Many Truck Farms
In regions around large centers of
population where truck gardening pre
vails and in other places where small
road crops are grown, the garden trac
tor is gaining a strong foothold.
Poultry, fruit or truck farms use
this mechanical power very advantage
ously In seeding, cultivating and har
vesting. as well as In other draw^bar
and belt power tasks.
The garden tractor fills a demand
which results from the ImpractfcabfHtjr
of maintaining horses In thickly set
tled truck or fruit-producing areas. !n
such areas land Is expensive and the
cost of home-grown horse feed is too
high. ' 9
These garden tractors are small and
compact and can' he operated advan
tageously in gardens, orchards or oth
er close quarters since they may be
turned sharply ufid since the tools that
operate are close to the source of pow-
generally between the driver and
the engine.
Legume Crops Are Not
Satisfactory for Silage
crops do not make good
fertilizer as a rule. They are so high
in nitrogen and low in sugars and
starches that they do not keep well
in a silo. At the University of Mis
souri some years ago Professor Eckels
was able to make very good silage ow
of alfalfa hay that be allowed to wilt
before potting in the silo. Most ex
periments. however, have not been so
successful. It Is necessary to save
some sngar and starch ferraentitloa to
develop a good keeping quality.
More and more stanzas might be
written about little beads of wood,
little leaves of golden metal or swing
ing pendants of many a shape and
kind. One thing Is certain, beads are
appreciated, and It la a wonder that
no bride, so far as Dame Fashion
knows, hat been given a "bead
•hower."
Those who have attended grand
opera this year In New York report
the gowns to be more resplendent and
the jewels more flashing than la any
year since the World war. Emeralds
seem to be special favorites. Yet bow
often It has been whispered that In
these days of danger many owners of
genuine jewels wear careful replicas
of their possessions. So why should
not the rest of us indulge In a few
green crystals? j
It might as well be admitted that
knees are nearer the vanishing point
than they bare been for a number of
years. Ami no man nor woman can
prophecy how long tbe changed con
dition wilt remain. One thing la cer
tain. tbe length of skirts Is a vital
topic of conversation north, south, east
and west.
The same powerful fashion wlsartl
which sent skirts do* n lower also said
“darker, darker** to txwlery. snd worn
en are obeying. This dark cry has j
been raised In several chill seasons. I
hut without gaining so much of a re
sponse as this year. Perhaps the dark
hose are accepted aa a sort of corol- j
lary to tbe longer skirts. Just as prop
ositions In geometry have little “bitch*
ona** or big imposing bills In congress
have little “ridem" that sometimes
cause more discussion than tbe orig
inal hllla.
Dame Fashion, being of a frugal
mind, thought the other day ahe would
try to find the mystic shade of dark
hose which will look just right with
black pumps and also be the very
thing to wear with ton oxfords. A
fisherman choosing artlficlnl files Is
not ahead of the hoalery-chnoser In
care necessary. One shade, wonderful
with tan leather. Is out entirely when
put with black, and just the reverse
with other shades. But It can be done
—that Is, Dame Fashion thinks It can.
To name the shade Is another matter.
Each must hunt until she can say.
“Eureka, I have found U!*’-T-und then
she wMI be mtisfied.
