MATTER OF COMMON SENSE Girl Who Would Retain Her Beauty \ Exercise Reason in ttia Selection of Food. In the Woman's Home Companion, jJJice Farnham Leader, a New York physician, tells how girls can keep their good looks. She says that health depends upon food, sleep and fresh air, and not upon pills and prescriptions, tier article is full of practical sug gestiona as to diet, sleep and exercise. Following is a brief'extract from what she has to say about food: "Rich pastry, frozen creams and candy are difficult to digest and. in addition to menacing the health, they cause positive homeliness. They con tain more sugar and fat than the sya tem can possibly assimilate, and the surplus is carried to the skin, where it makes its appearance in the form of pimples and blackheads. To avoid such foods doesn't mean giving up all desserts. Let your choice rest be tween light custards, frtiits and ices. "Coffee and tea are not always in jurious. provided they are taken in moderation. Never drink more than one cup of coffee for breakfast, and add cream and sugar with a grudging hand, ' Drink plenty of water, hot and cold. Nothing will promote digestion and prevent sickness as will a glass Of water slowly sipped immediately upon arising in the morning. The hu man body requires at least a quart of water a day. that is about a half pint every two or three hours. "If the average woman gave as inucb attention to that much abused jbrgan. the liver, as she does to her linger nails, her face would need less attention. No wonder the liver rebels and reacts upon the complexion, its Spite being betrayed in the form of pimples, sallowness and black shad ows under the eye?.** \ v \ Girlish Evening Frock of Fins Lace. letage and there Is a flatly applied bowknot at this point.

In the Trunk. If there Is an abundance of space in a trunk, it is a good idea to leave coats on hangers, first filling out the sleeves and fronts, but if this is dot convenient, fold the coat inside out. placing the sleeves together, front touching front, then fold once length wise, with tissue paper in between, the sleeves also being kept In shape with a slight stuffing. Some soft gowns are kept smooth er by being rolled over a heavy newspaper roll that has been first covered with sheets of tissue paper, then by straight packing. This, of course, depends upon the material and whether you can accommodate it to a given space. FALL AND WINTER CREATION SHRINK THE COTTON FIRST Will Be Found to Make Big Difference In Results When the Garment Is Laundered. Cotton naturally shrinks when wet. This property is greatly increased in the weaving, as the warp threads are stretched to their full length and held In place by the sizing and starch used In finishing. If the garment is to be laundered it is better to shrink the material before making it up as it is not easy to make the proper allowance for shrinkage. Fold the material smoothly and place flat in a tub or large receptacle, the bath tub is excellent. Pour in enough cold water to cover. When the material is thoroughly saturated, pour in hot water, gradually Increasing the temperature until the water is as warm as the hand can stand. The hot water is needed to loosen the sizing. The material should stand in the water over night when possible, but at least two or three hours. Pour off the water .and press as much out of the material as possible, but do not wring. Hang on a line in the open air, stretching out smooth and pinning along one selvage. Before the material is thorbugbly dry take it down and press. One must be sure that the colors In the material are fast before attempt ing to shrink it--Charlotte E. Carpen ter, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins. Colo. High Collars.

NORMAL DAY'S WORK IN HARVESTING CORN An Excellent Field of Corn. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) The office of farm management of the department of agriculture has gath ered data from 25,000 farmers in dif ferent parts of the United States and has made many direct observations as to the amount of work that can be expected in harvesting corn with dif ferent machinery and by hand. The number of acres that can be covered with different kinds of machines and different numbers of horses a day has Getting Seed Corn Ready to Keep During Winter. been averaged, and whlle^ these aver ages should not be taken as indicating the minimum or maximum amount of work that should be accomplished on any individual farm, they are of serv ice in enabling the farmer to judge the rate of work, and also to lay out his work so as tp give enough time tor each operation. WJ^ile op some farms the average may be exceeded. In many cases, it will be somewhat high, but at any rale the average can be used on the average farm in fig uring the least amount of time that should be allowed.- Of course, in O- ing such averages due weight has to be given to the fact that rainy weafh- er may interfere with the harvesting campaign, and allowance must be made for such operations. The following table shows the av erage acreages harvested with a bin der for a normal day. using different numbers of horses t Number Of Harvested Horses. YIeM Per Acre. Per Day.

Harvesting Corn by Hand The tables given below, which show a normal day's work when harvesting is done by hand with the ordinary corn knife, are interesting for com parison with the result accomplished with machinery. Where corn is cut. shocked and tied by hand, increases in yield add to the ,bulk of stalks and reduce the acreage cut daily. The av erages indicate that from 1.4 to 1.7 acres can be harvested daily by one man. In tying and shocking corn, the average indicates that a man can cover from three to five ac^es, depend ing on the yield. The following table shows the av erage for a normal day's hand work In harvesting corn: TWO DEAD BESIDE STOPS,TRAIN V^r Operation. Cutting, shacking and tying corn by hand Yield Per Acre.

Where corn is husked continuously from standing stalks, about 60 per cent more can be husked. Where one man husks, hauls and un loads from standing stalks, it Is seen that corn can be husked about 25 per cent more rapidly than can be done from shocks piled cn the ground.

Many alfalfa raisers are in the habit of planting barley in their alfalfa in the fall and the practice is so good that it is unfortunate that it Is not done oftener. It provides green stuff during the winter and makes the land productive at a time when it ordi narily is pot producing anything, ex cept. perhaps, some foxtail. And not the least valuable feature of the bar ley is that it keeps down the foxtail. The several floodlngs that an alfalfa field gets during the summer, plus the packing of the soil by the mower, the horses' hoofs, and the hay making and hauling, or by the stock, if the field has been pastured, compacts the soil in a way that would almost be ruin (or an orchard. A stirring up of the soil, when these conditions exist, is almost the same kind of. a stimulant to the field that good cultivation and a soil mulch is to an orchard. That is why it is so profitable to use a disk, an alfalfa renovator, or a spring tooth on an alfalfa field. With the soil torn up a bit it is pos sible to sow barley and get excellent results. Land on which alfalfa has grown is always rich and contains lots of nitrogen. Although the al falfa takes up much of the space and the barley naturally cannot do as well as if the land were really plowed in stead of scratched, a good stand can be secured. It is possible to either pasture the barley or to let It go for hay. In the first case a heavy seeding is usually best. In the second a light seeding so that the alfalfa will have plenty room when it starts growth In the spring. In either case the land is producing something Instead of lying almost idle, or growing only foxtail, and the mixture of barley and alfalfa hay is excellent and a vast improvement over the mixture of alfalfa and foxtail. Blowing aCom Crop Into ftilo. especially good for husking, the fig ures may be found from 10 to 20 per cent high on farms' where conditions are not so easy for the worker. . Value of Feedstuff. There are books and tables telling the feeding value of every feedstuff the cow eats, and it will pay every dairy farmer to study tljem. RIGHT DIAMETER OF A SILO Measurement 8hould Be Determined by Amount of Ensilage tq Be Fad, Says Dakota Station. The North Dakota experiment ela tion advises that the diameter of a silo should be determined by the amount of ensilage to be fed, If less than one and one-fifth inches of en silage are removed daily, molding is likely to start. The warmer the weather, the greater the depth of en silage that should be removed. In winter 12 dairy cows fed 40 pounds a day will use up the right amount from a 14-foot silo, while In summer it woulj require 18 cows to use up the amount of ensilage that should be removed daily. For the 12-foot silo nine eowa in winter and thirteen in summer; for the 16-foot silo, seventeen cows in win ter and twenty-five in summer. Let the amount of ensilage fed daily determine the diameter of the silo and let the height determine the capacity. SILO MOLD QUITE HARMLESS Pronounced Nonpoisonous by Scien tists of Missouri College--Farmers Feared It Killed Stock. Red moid, which has been found forming in silos in Missouri and other states, has been pronounced nonpoi sonous by scientists of the agricultu ral department of the University ol Missouri. Several farmers feared it was killing their stock. The mold is caused by the silage not being sufficiently packed. It is also caused by silage being put away too dry. A similar mold is us&I by Chi- nese in coloring food matter. Importsnt 8wine Factors.

BOY CUT OUT THE POISON Presence of Mind of South Dakota Youth 8aves the Life of His 8ister. Dupree, 8. D.--The presence of Mind of Lawrence Minker, the thirteen-year- old son of County Commissioner Mink er, saved the life of his nine-year-old brother Neil when the latter waa bit ten by a rattlesnake. The older brother whipped out a knife and cut around che spot where the reptile's fangs had entered t he flesh, and then sucked the poison from the wound. He then tied a whip lash tightly about his brother's leg above the •wound, tightening it by means of the stock of the whip to preventthe poison reaching a vital spot, and then walked home with the little fellow, causing him to walk slowly In order to avoid heating his blood. A physician found but very 'little poison was left in the wound, and stated the prompt action of the older brother had saved the younger one's life.
