Allen, of Rochester, N. Y., • suffered for year* with rheumatism. Many times fits terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaasless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated Imparities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved In the Joints and muaclas and expelled from the body. With this Idea in mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely save his discovery, which hs called Allonrhu. to others, who took It with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. He has therefor* Instructed druggists everywhere to dispenss Allenrhu with the understanding that if ths first pint bottle does not show the way to complete recovery he will gladly return your money without comment. Mall orders filled by BUCK & RAYNER DRUG STORES CHICAGO, ILL. The burden of going forward has shifted from the ingenious hand of the Paris designer to the graceful shoulders of the fashionable woman, observes a fashion writer to the New York Herald-Tribune, A' short time ago the Paris couturier was industiiously offering his artistic product to a waiting world. New ideas, some quite radical, were exhibited--certain old motifs were retained, and descriptions and sketches of the new Paris suggestions were broadcast to wherever smart women gathered. The readers know that the new Paris silhouette Is straight and affectedly simple, that French skirts mfts the ground by some fourteen inches, that elaboration Is the essence of the current mode and that plait, flounce and tunic are Its principal manifestations. They have seen sketches of the beltless frock And of the low waistline, the severe tailleur and the three-quarter length coat. The next and, to most women, the most Important phase of the springtime mode concerns the extent to which the recent innovations will be indorsed. For femininity, despite ideas to the contrary, does not leap boldly from one extreme to another, preferring rather to slowly absorb about ten Inches above the ground-- and it marks a decided Improvement both in poise and dignity over the French frocks. Another instance wherein the word of Paris was accorded something less than its wonted reception concerns Itself with the widely bruited strictly tailored suit. Not that there has been any hesitancy about accepting the O'Rossen styled costume. Far from It The trim, severe lines, the short hip-length jackets and above all the One of the Most tactical Ways of Disposing of • Corn CrofpTr fftrei T&y the United Statsa fJepartmsnt of Agriculture.)

Seated on its peak, she would wack it vigorously with a riding crop. The other boarders were much puzzled over this procedure and a delegation was appointed to make discreet Inquiries. Thus the question was put direct. "Why are you sitting on that haystack, Bluebelle?" "Preliminary practice," explained the dear girl. "After a little of this it doesn't seem so far from the ground when you get on a horse." Paris-designed tailleur place it In the front ranks of the new clothes. But in France the suit is a necessity, an absolute essential. No Parlsienne dares complete her wardrobe without at least one of these mannish costumes, which is not the case on these less impulsive shores. Whether from a fear that the.suit would become vulgarized through a too extended vogue, or from a sense of innate conservatism, the fact remains that the response of the American woman to the rigidly tailored vogue has not nearly measured up to expectations. Of course it's a safe acquisition--the severe suit will be decidedly en regie this season and even more so next-- but it is not prescribed. And If it doesn't become you, you may neglect tug stock.: farming and market demands. Where once the whole operation of breeding the cows and raising the calves, growing them on pasture and roughage to the feeder age and then fattening them for the market, was carried on at the corn belt farm. It has been gradually becoming more and more impractical to keep herds of cows to raise calves and to thus grow their own supply of feeders. Not more than a score of years ago there was an abundance of pasture and land was comparatively cheap. Today practically all iand capable of being tilled Is used for crop production.

Consider first the skirt length, which has been a much mooted question sli>"e the revolutionary days of the war. One season long, one season short, its only consistency Is Its certainty to change. This season Paris has insisted on very short skirts, reaching on an average to no more than eight Inches below the knee. It Is not surprising that the American woman, the sllmness of whoseuankles Is proverbial, should have espoused this style with some degree of enthusiasm-- but, always a little more dignified than the Parlsienne, she has tempered her acceptance with a becoming modesty. Admitting the influence of Paris, but subjecting it to domestic revision, the approved skirt length this side the Atlantic has been established at portions. And where the silhouette la straight and plain the details, of course, are extremely elaborate. Yet we dare this prophecy: Along about the middle of the season there will be a reaction toward a more Involved silhouette, perhaps bouffant, perhaps flaring to one side, and with it, as a necessary consequence, will come a greater simplicity of trimming. The certain prevalence of the short skirt for spring has placed an added Importance on the new footwear. Shoe styles change with lightning rapidity, and this season a wealth of entirely new Ideas Is offered. Lines are sharply drawn between daytime and evening slippers and the same type of shoe is not appropriate for both occasions. For Informal wear, with short sklhs and youthful line* short and medium vamps in combination with medium toes are worn, while the medium point Is en regie In the evening. The cut-out effect, with one or two straps, Is a universal and invariable note at all times. Among the fashionable leathers fot daytime lizard Is the most emphasized. Alligator, despite much propa ganda. Is quite out of the picture The popular suedes are brown and graybut decidedly not black, which Is both clumsy and demode. For wear with black cloth--and black is widely worn this season--black patent kid, trimmed with white piping. Is both smart and effective. When the color scheme of the costume Is brown, tan &hoes trimmed with brown, gold or white are appropriate. The bronze shoe Is back after a prolonged absence and is worn In conjunction with brown-hued frocks. In the evening fancy suedes are far and away the most Important shoe fabric. Blue shades predominate, challenged closely by green and red In the order named. Gold and silver kids, both as a trimming on the suede and as the basic leather of the shoe, are widely noted. The smartest combinations among the satins are black trimmed with sliver kid sad brown trimmed with gold kid. Decorated Footwear It !• most Important to bear tn -Ifflnd, tn connection with the question of ysur new evening shoes, that the color of the dress must be closely approximated In the slipper--the smartest and most modish ensemble touch of the season joins evening dress and shoes in an Identity of color. .It Is evident that the most popular type of shoe for the country club will be the white suede slipper trimmed with lizard. Buckles, In varying shapes and sizes, sre the most Important of the shoe accessories. They are made from numerous materials--some are steel, 'either plain or studded with rhinestonesf some bronze, others enamel and some few are developed In the finest of leathers. The tendency is away from the steels and toward the more striking effects such as brllllunts idded with colored stones. In addition to the conventional square, oval and round buckles there are novel wing motifs, butterflies, circlets, crescents and snakes. Tb6 jeweled heel Is the dernier oil at the evening mode.

Increasing tendency on the part of cattle feeders to purchase their feeder supply direct from the range which Is more adapted to raising and growing calves to the feeder age than to fattening them. The range cattlemen are realizing the situation and are attempting to produce a high grade of feeder cattle. The corn belt cattle feeders, with an abundance of fattening feeds and limited pasture areas, see where they can better afford to purchase feeders from the range area than to raise them on land which Is suitable for crop production. Organizations of breeders are being formed In many sections of the country for the purpose of^assembllng several droves of feeder cattle and selling them at auction. Sales of this kind are usually extensively adver tlsed In order to get a large number of buyers to attend. Buying" direct eliminates marketing expenses at the live stock markets nnd insures against "stale" cattle, that Is, cattle held at the markets for several davs. Buying at the large live slock markets Is preferred by many feeders, because there may be a saving of time, and there Is the possibility of buying on a "glutted" market, which usually results in much lower prices. When the receipts are normal, however, there is usually considerable competition, resulting In a price considerably higher than the range price. Buying and selling ability plays as Important a part as skillful feeding In the successful handling of feeder cattle. Successful feeders study market conditions. In some seasons certain weights and classes of cattle may be purchased more economically than others. The cattle feeder should study the demands of the market for certain seasons and feed the kind of cattle that will be »n demand whan-lhey are ready for market. * v Objects In Fattening. The primary objects in fattening steers are to utilize roughages for j which there is little demand, to keep the soil In a high state of productivity by feeding the crops on the farm and returning the manure to the land, and to Increase the income from farm operations. The fattening of cattle throughout the corn belt area la of two types--dry-lot fattening and fattening on grass. Most cattle fattened in the corn belt are dry-lot fed and are marketed before July 1. Veryfew cattle fed heavily on grain during the winter and spring months are ever put on grass the following sum mer. In some sections of Missouri feeders purchased In the fall are "roughed" through the winter largely 0^ cornstalk fields, straws, hays, stover and silage. In the spring the cattle are turned on grass and fed a halfgrain ration. Cattle handled In this way usually are marketed before September 1. There are various • rations used in dry-lot feeding, but two combinations ' v'.- • .:.v ••••: i of feeds stand out rather prominently. In those areas where legume hay, such as clover and alfalfa, is produced abundantly, the standard ration Is corn and hay. In other areas, where legumes are less thrifty, silage and protein meal, such as cottonseed or Unseed, are fed In combination with corn and a mixed hay. Available Rouoh Land. High-priced land suitable for grain production in the corn belt area can hardly be profitably kept for pasture j for the production of beef for the! market. However, there are many farms having rough land that can be utilized best as a permanent pasture. Gains made by cattle on pasture are usually the most economical. When cattle are "roughed" through the winter, largely ftn cheap roughages, they can be marketed early the following fall at a cost materially lower than would result from dry-lot feeding. Cattle to be finished in the summer on grass, with possibly the addition of a little corn or other supplement in the fall, should not be fed heavily durtng the winter, but they should receive enough to maintain their weight. If they can be kept in a healthy, thrifty condition during the winter months they will do better on grass the following summer than If heavily grain fed during the winter. Where pasture Is available there are three practical methods of fattening cattle on grass, namely, grass alone^ grass and additional feed throughout the entire feeding1 period, and gfass with additional feed the last few months of the feeding period. The grass season Is usually from May to j November, Inclusive, which Is approximately 210 days. Two acres of good pasture are usually allowed per anl- I mal. After September the average pasture begins to decrease In value very rapidly, and cattle should be mar-^ keted at this time or given additional feed. Prevailing prices of corn and concentrates, the type of pasture, and the quality of cattle should largely determine the supplement to pasture, | which, tnlght be corn alone, corn with protein supplement, or the protein supplement by Itself. Where grass alone ts depended upon, from four to five months of grazing will usually give best results, because pastures are at their best from June to October. Plenty of Oyster Shell Helpful to Egg Layers Several flock .owners have, at various times, asked my opinion as to the cause of soft-shelled eggs, says a writer In the Successful Farming. Hens may occasionally lay a ^oft-shelled egg even when supplied with plenty of oyster shells. Sometimes this Is caused by an overfat condition or a poorly balanced ration. If any of your hens lay an occasional soft-slielle'd egg, make sure that they are getting plenty of green food and that they are made to exercise In the straw litter. If this Is done, and the balanced ration and oyster shell do not put a stop to the soft-shelled eggs, you may be sure that the trouble Is due to some abnormal condition that prevents the fowls from manufacturing the Ume as fast as It is needed. When this is the £ase the only cure seems to be to cull out any hens that are known to lay soft-shelled eggs frequently. Such eggs are not only a frequent loss, but the breaking and eating of them by the other fowls encourage the habit of egg-eating.

Speaking about white shoes brings about memories of reports current to the effect that whltis. kid leather will be the most popular of Reduction ill Losses From all white materials for footwear. t Leaf-Spot Disease. Satisfactory Space for Roosts in Chicken Coop Seven to eleven inches of space should be allowed per bird on the chicken house roost and each roost should be 15 Inches from each of Its neighbors. These allowances should b<p varied within the range given according to the size of the breed kept The roosts shoaid always be placed In a horizontal position and at the back of the house; 2x2's or 4x4's with the top edges rounded off make the best perches. # No poultry house Is complete without a dropping board under these roosts to prevent the droppings from falling Into the litter IQ» which the birds are fed. These boards should be placed to hang eight Inches below the roosts and 35 Inches from the floor of the house. They should be cleaned at least ouce a week; the oftener the better.

Spraying strawberries for the control of leaf-spot diseases has frequently been recommended, and a few growers In widely separated localities have sprayed regularly for fruit rots and have reported an apparent reduction In losses. The first systematic experiments. however, for the control of fruit rots by spraying were made by the United States Department of Agriculture last year, and although the results of this one season's work must be regarded- as inconclusive, some favorable results seem to be indicated. Various sprays were used, and no one seemed to show a marked superiority over another, indicating that no really satisfactory spray schedule Rajah silk dresses for young girls has yet been worked out.
