" l^%V - *• <flom the drifted States Department of Agriculture.) Sound, clean, healthy seed is the first requisite for the largely increased "wheat crop which the United States department of agriculture hopes to see harvested next year. Whatever the source of supply, farmers will firid it to their advantage, says the depart­ ment, to see that only good seed is planted. What has been said is equally true of seed for the rye crop which the department hopes to see much larger than usual next year. If a farmer has seed from his own' crop which is satisfactory so far as variety and general condition are con­ cerned, he should lose no time in get­ ting it into shape for storage until planting time. The fanning mill is the farmer's best friend in this task. The farmer by all means should have such a mill, and if he has not and is unable to obtain one, should borrow or rent his neighbor's mill, oft* several farmers can join in buying one. A fanning mill removes weed seeds, smut and shriv­ eled grain and leaves only plump ker­ nels, practically every one of which may be depended upon to produce a thrifty plant. After it is cleaned, how­ ever, the seed should be treated in or­ der that the smut may be prevented. Scab is more likely to be prevented by seed treatment, but the use of the fan­ ning mill will assist materially in im­ proving the crop grown from seed known to have contained scabby ker* nela. Buy Se$d From Neighbor. If the farmer Is dependent on Out­ side sources for his seed, he should buy from his neighbor if possible, so that PLOWING TO CONTROL PESTS I Remedies for Effective Check Mutt Be Applied During Fall and Winter Season*. After the corn-root louse, rootwortn, grubworm, and wireworm have at­ tacked the cornfield, it will be too late for effective control measures. Reme­ dies for these pests must be applied during fall and winter. These insects feed below ground and are most effec­ tively controlled by fall or winter plowing, clean culture and crop rota- tion. The root louse winters as the egg In the nests of the small cornfield ant. By winter plowing these ant nests are broken up and the ants, as well as the louse eggs, are destroyed. The eggs of the Northern rootworm are de­ posited by the beetle during fall in he may be more likely to get seed well adapted to his conditions. It is advis­ able to buy as soon after haryest as possible, as at this time prices are likely to be lowest. If the i'urmer de­ lays, his neighbors may dispose of all their surplus grain and he may be forced to plant seed grown und.?r con­ ditions radically different from his own. If the farmer patronizes a seeds­ man he should insist on getting Seed grown as near his section as possible. If seed is affected by diseases, care­ ful inspection will usually disclose the fact. The presence of stinking smut ip wheat is indicated by the odor and the presence of scab by the appear­ ance of the kernels. Purchased seed should, of course, be cleaned and treat­ ed for the destruction of the spores of disease-producing fungi, If the exam­ ination shows this to be necessary. Selecting Varieties. In choosing varieties of wheat, the farmer should be guided by the ex» periences of his neighbors and the ad­ vice of his state experiment station. This is true also of rye, but there are available fewer varieties of rye than of wheat. The stations can furnish com­ parative statistics on the yields and behavior of a number of varieties of the two cereals. After the grain farmer has procured a supply of satisfactory seed he should store it carefully, so that it will keep in good condition and will be safe from the depredations of rats, mice and In­ sects. Bins which are supposedly rat- proof are available on practically all farms and it will pay farmers to see that they are kept in good condition to keep out the rodents. DISPOSITION «OF DEAD HOGS Mighty Poor Practice to Bury Cholera Victims or Permit Them to 'Lit Around in Open. Only too' often, when1 an outbreak of hog cholera is investigated it is found that last fall or winter, a pre­ vious tenant lost several hogs, buried them about six Inches deep and your hogs dug them up. Other cases are found to be due to some dog which has been feasting on dead, unburned hog carcasses left out in the open by some person a mile or more away. The dog brings home a bone, a piece of skin or a chunk of meat, and leaves it in the hog lot. The pigs promptly consume the morsel,.... hog cholera germs and all. The only best way of combating this method of spreading disease is to burn every cornfields and since the grutx on hatch- doad h«8 completely.

A very large proportion of all <@lta are foaled in the spring. However, some who have raised a fall colt or two each year have found the advan­ tages are not all in favor of the prac­ tice of exclusive spring colt raising. A colt foaled In September or early October will get a nice start before the pasture dries up and winter ap­ proaches. Then the mare and coit should receive a plentiful and nour­ ishing ration through the winter. The colt can be weaned in the spring when the grass is beginning to come, and the pasture will help wonderfully to keep it in condition and to keep it going.* LAOST PROLIFIC OF BERRIES liVeey Few Blackberry Bushes Will : ;r » Furnish Family With AW Fresh Can ,, Kij '"Wacl&ehies are the | of the berries, generally speaking.

The Job Is to. York.--New clothes are pass­ ing before the eyes as quickly, as a vital and dramatic series of motion pictures. - s " One has only sufficient mentqj vision to catch at the leading points as they •ivrirl by. These things will not go into, oblivion. They will return as do the moving films; but the world of wopien want's to get at the gist of, the movement at this moment. -- The whole continent of women Is buying autumn clothes. Those who preaclu-d economy, suspension of fash­ ions, standardized uniforms for wom­ en, the turning of women buyers in the industry of apparel into the work of war relief, must feel that they have preached in vain. The reel of clothes that is running off quickly before the eyes of every woman is not nearly so confusing if one brings to bear upon it a well- adjusted Judgment. The first Impression one has is that the vital changes are few, but this Im­ pression gives way after a day or two to the feeling that the changes, what­ ever they are, are very important. , The majority of women look at now 'clothes in the light of a contrast to old ones.

I can wear my blue gown of last year." Lead-Pencil Figure. There will be a hundred or more remarks like this made by the women Who view the clothes of the hour. Prance has not changed her silhouette as much as America has. She pro­ duced the lead-pencil figure late lust spring, but America takes It up this season with an enthusiasm thut is usually given to what is original. A few of the American designers uive exaggerated the French idea. There have been certain gowns sent out by a well-known house and exten­ sively copied by those who deal with the trade over the country, which put a wbirmn's figure back to where it was In 1880. The Skirt is pulled about the figure until movement is actuuily Im­ peded. It has all the symptoms of the famous pull-back skirt to which the bustle was attached. That appendage is also in fashion, but uiade so incon­ spicuous that it canuot offend even the most, conservative taste. Odd as it may sound, many of tfyese pull-back skirts are longer than any­ thing we have had for four years. They have to be of decent length, for their tendency to lift at the hack and pull across the knees would bring the front hem higher than the law allows. It is mockery to refer to a law in dress, probably, in the light of what we have' seen during the last two years, for what the French call "a souveidr of a skirt and a regret of a bodice" has been combined to make the average woman's costume. However, as one reviews the skirts of the moment, there Is definite rea­ son tb believe that the figure will look much as it did last spring. Trimming I# lifted from skirts; the, hem is often lfi inches from the ground, Instead of HEMMED PATCHES ARE BEST Method Found Most Satisfactory For All Garments That Must Bo ; Laundered F requently. ' For garments laundered frequently, «uch as aprons, house dresses or mus­ lin under garments, hemmed patches are best. In this patch the edge of the hole is trimmed into square or rectan­ gular shtffJe to make matching of fig­ ures easier. Then the edge is turned under and "hummed to the patrh piece and tfie 8; the fullness at the waistline kg* almost vanished; tha fastening at the fror.t or side is not tolerated. But all' of these features of fashion are merely, accentuations of an accepted style. The designers have cut. down to the bolste, as it were, and given us all in the way of grace^cleverness and beau­ ty after they sacrificed every inch of material that might have been super- - fluous. | The Tunic Persists. That the medieval chemise frock that came in with such a ringing of bells and blowing of trumpets "has decided that it will continue to be a welcome factor In fashions. There are a good mauy women who are tired of tt, as we are not proof against that weari­ ness that comes from seeing one thing multiplied through every phase of our existence, and it has pot been humanly possible* to escape tunics since they made their appearance. There were not as many of these gowns put out by the American de­ signers in the early trade of the sea­ son as by the French, who evidently are not in the least tired of the one* garment. They have repeated it in J leasing ways. They make It in thin and in thick fabrics; they offer it as a coat, on an evening gown and as an elongated blouse for the house. The entire movement of French clothes shows this tunic coming in and out of I the film. | Possibly, the one .new feature thut is most noticeable about It is the slnsh- j ing at the sides. The house of Doeuil- | let Is credited with having started I this movement, it looks well and It is .part of the universal tendency lb | clothes to present, panels from waist to ankles. There is an epidemic of these panels. They are put by every tailor and dressmaker where they do the most good or the most harm. They are Egyptian or, as some critics said. niid-McKlnley. They have allure aud they have u,tst evil possibilities of ugliness. The selection of the good and the avoidance of the bad in tlds movement of dress is up to the individual. The part of the reporter is to say that panels are ubiquitous and that the tuuic is slashed. A woman with large hips cannot af­ ford to in for indiscriminate slash­ ing below the waist. She should always bear In Inind the fact that an open line at the sides shows the curve of her hips where it is most perceptible and often gives her a rotund Took that could be easily concealed by another kind of drapery. Belt Is Important. The question of a belt on these tunics is another matter M impor­ tance. One may call the w/itst drap­ ery an accessory to the gown, but the artist and the expert dressmaker con­ cede the fact thut it is the kind of trifle that makes or mars the whole. It is well that every .vouiau remem­ bers this truth during the remainder of this season. She will find, as the months follow each other, that It will take all her ingenuity to deal with the extraordinary Influx of belts, girdles, snshes and waist drupery of pleasant und sinister kinds. There are evening gowns that seem to be all sash. An Immense piece of drapery Is wielded by an artist dress­ maker Into a dominating feature of the rock by wrapping it below the bust, at or below the waistline, tlien resolving it into a deep panel that drops down the ler.gth iif the skirt at the back or into a bulging bow with long, fringed ends that covers the en­ tire side of the figure. There are belts on some of the new coat suits which are almost corslets, and an accessory of this type on the wrong figure would turn a good look­ ing woman into u caricature. There is a nest of belts, four or five of them, linked together by some com­ mon cord at the side and back and dis­ posing themselves over the entire mid- dfe of the body."" - " * ~ There are actual corslets of floriated jet, of Egyptian tissue worked in tur­ quoise and jet beads, of black silk braid on a satin or serge foundation, and these reach from the bust to the point of the hips, with the ends ad­ justed by hooks and eyes or by ivws of cloth-covered buttons.
