Variety of Ornaments
in Fashionable Shops
Quantities of ornaments, clasps,
buckles and large trimming motifs are
shown In the fashionable shops. Case
after case holds a display of amazing
variety, for few wraps or gowns are
seen on which some sort of ornament
is not used to hold the drapery or to
serve as a fastening.
Of enamel, real or imitation, are
showy clasps, coral, white and scarlet,
amber, jade, topaz. Ivory and metal,
set with colored stones.
Large conventional flowers are made
of pearls and brilliants, with tassels
and fringe of the beads. They are
worn usually over one hip of an eve
ning dress. Some of these, done in
and gay colors, are bizarre,
some are simpler, and their assortment
is almost without limit.
Exquisite Embroidery

Not so long ago one heard that em
broidery was passe; that its vogue was
dead, and that no woman of fashion
would dream of appearing In the flam
buoyant embroideries that dominated
the fashions of the season just past.
True enougli in one sense, for the day
of crude, vulgar embroideries is past,
but the day of intricate, exquisite ex
amples of the needle worker’s skill is
here and few things exceed in beauty
the embroideries of the present season.
They reveal a marvelous sense ol
color values, a deftness if toucli In the
delicacy of the design, and a knowl
edge that Is the result of years of
study of the handwork of many eras
and many nations.

PIGS* PARTY
“Grunt, grunt," said Grandfather
Porky Pig.
“Squeal, squeal,’’ said Miss Ham.
“What is all the excitement?’’ usked
Brother Bacon.
“Yes, tell me,” said Sammy Sausage.
“And I want to know too," said Sir
Benjamin Bacon.
“I’d like to know," said Sir Perci
val Pork.
“You have something to tell us,
you two," said Mrs. Pink Pig, as she
looked at Grandfather Porky Pig and
Miss Ham, and pointed her snout in
their direction.
“Mrs. Pink Pig, is right," said Pinky
Pig’s mother, and Mr. Pinky Pig said,
“She is right. Squeal, squeal, she
is right.”
“Well," said Grandfather Porky
Pig, "It is hard to get the chance to
talk when all pf you are speaking."
“It Is hard," squealed Miss Hum.
“Well, we will not say anything ex
cept to ask you to tell us,” said Broth
er Bacon. “Will we, Pigs?"
“No," squealed all the pigs.
“Now, let us all say, all together,’’
Brother Bacon added, “Miss Ham and
Porky Pig, tell us what you have to
say.”
And when Brother Bacon said “One,
two, three,” all the pigs said together
what Brother Bacon had said before.
“In the first place," said Grand

a party.
“Miss Ham would be the hostess and
entertain all the guests and I would
be the host and receive them all as
they came.”
"Why that sounds fine,” said Broth

“Simply splendid,” said Sammy Sau

“Magnificent,” squealed Sir Benja

“Gorgeous,” grunted Sir Perclval
Pork.
“Of course,” said Brother Bacon,
“you’ll have a delicious banquet.”
“Oh, yes.” said Grandfather Porky
Pig.
“We will Invite every one of you,”
said Miss Ham.
“Not one will we leave out,” said
Grandfather Porky Pig.
“How truly delightful," squealed all
the pigs.
“When is the party to be?” asked
Brother Bacon.
“We thought of having it tomorrow,”
said Miss Ham.
“At three In the afternoon If that
would be convenient,” added Grand
father Porky Pig.
“Then we could lie around after
ward and have a cozy snooze,” he
added in much the tone that someone
would use In saying,
“And then we can have time for a
nice talk.”
“We could have a good rest before
supper,” said Porky.
“Well,” said Brother Bacon, “I’m
sure we’d all be delighted to come.
Simply delighted, and we all accept
with pleasure.”
“We all do,” said the pigs together.
“Then at three tomorrow." said Miss
Ham.
“At three tomorrow,” said Grand
father Porky Pig.
“We’ll all be there,” said the other
pigs.
The next afternoon at three all the
pigs were on hand—-or on foot for the
party.
“As hostess of this party," said Miss
Ham, “I mean to entertain you all
this afternoon by showing you how
much a hostess can eat. I have a
splendid banquet here for myself.”
“And I mean to show you the same

Picric Acid Big
Help to Farmer
Surplus War Explosive Used
to Remove Stumps—Soda
tol Now Available.
(Prepared by the United Statea Department
of Agriculture.)
Some 45,000 farmers in 28 states
have used picric ucid, a surplus wur
explosive, says the bureuu of public
rouds, United States Department of
Agriculture, which has bud charge of
tile distribution. These farmers have
used 7,500,000 pounds of the explosive
lo rlear 250,000 acres of land and to
remove stumps from about 80,000 acres
in cultivation. It Is estimated that
the actual saving to the farmers over
| the cost of commercial explosives has
; amounted to $750,000, but the actual
benefits have been more far reaching,
as thousands of small farms have had
the acreage of cultivutuble land In
creased.
The government has also delivered
some 4,000,000 pounds of picric ucid
for road construction by state and fed
eral agencies.
Sodatol Now Obtainable.
The last of the picric acid was dis
posed of a short time ago, but fanners
may obtain sodatol, an explosive
which has recently become available
and which many farmers say Is even
better for stumping than picric acid.
The only charge to be made is for
eartrldging, and preparing for shipment
and transportation cost which In gen
eral amounts to about one-third the cost
of an equivalent amount of dynamite.
In most states arrangements have
been made with some agency, usually
the state agricultural college, for dis
tributing sodatol. Information ns to
what agency Is handling the distribu
tion In any state can be obtained from
county agricultural agents or from
the stnte agricultural college.
Picric Acid Shipped.
The total amount of picric acid
shipped to the various states is as
follows:
Alabama 100 *bs.
Alaska 6,600 lbs.
Arizona 1.100 lbs.
California 90.400 lbs.

Many Old Apple Trees
Carrying Too Much Wood
Prune, brother, prune with care.
This paraphrase of Mark Twain’s fa
mous phrase might be taken as a
motto by the orchard men, say the
pomolcgists at the Ithaca State Agri
cultural college, who declare that
many old apple trees are carrying too
much wood. They warn, however,
against cutting out the large branches,
since this Is likely to Injure the tree
rather than benefit It.
The proper way to make this thin
ning Is to cut out a number of small
branches about the size of the finger,
or possibly up to an Inch or an Inch
and a half in diameter, throughout the
tree. This practice avoids water sprout
growths and rejuvenates the remain
ing fruit spurs.
The college Ims studied enough
orchards where this practice has been
followed to know that it usually re
sults In a better set of fruit of larger
size.
Use Lights on Poultry
Very Early in Morning
It is better to Increase the chickens'
day early in the morning rather than
in the evening, according to experi
ments conducted at the New Hamp
shire Agricultural college. The hens
come off the roosts quite early in the
morning to get their feed. In the eve
ning many of them go to roost regard
less of the light
Witli pullets the amount of light
should be increased gradually, begin
ning with eleven hours of total light
about the first of November. Tills may
be Increased to fourteen hours by the
first of February. After April the arti
ficial light should he gradually re
duced at the rate of about thirty min
utes per week. With old hens the
artificial Illumination should begin in
the full when egg production Is on the
increase.

Agricultural Census
• in 1925 of Big Value
Figures May Be Used in
Planning Future Growth.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The value of the proposed agricul
tural census In 11)25 as an aid In de
veloping national agricultural policies
Is emphasized by Dr. H. C. Taylor,
chief of the bureau of agricultural
economics. United States Department
of . jriculture.
"In working out the details of a
properly buluueed system of national
agriculture under normal conditions,
the basic agricultural statistics col
lected In lfl-io are Inadequate," Doctor
Taylor says. “At that time Ameri
can agriculture was still in a period
of readjustment from wur conditions,
and the statistics reflect the transitory
effects of the war rather than to pro
vide data from which nutionul agri
cultural policies may be developed.
“The various branches of American
agriculture are now gradually working
toward a more normal basis, and by
1925 will yield figures that may safely
be used in planning the future healthy
growth of the Industry as n whole.
The plan to make agricultural enum
erations In other than population
census years Is also merited In that
the results can be made available
nearer the date that the agricultural
census Is taken.”
Doctor Tnylor says that basic agri
cultural statistics compiled by the
census bureau are continually used In
connection with the department’s
forecasts and estimates of crops and
live stock, in measuring the financial
status of farms and farmers, and In
gauging shifts In furm population.
Every plan for agricultural progress
Is necessarily based upon this infor
mation, he says. The figures also pro
vide business men wlsh the Informa
tion needed to plun sales campaigns
and general Industrial activity, par
ticularly In commodities purchased by
farmers.
Plenty of Exercise Is
Essential for Horses
Plenty of exercise through the win
ter is absolutely necessary to the wel
fare of the horse. They should be
given the run of nt least a lot or yard
In the daytime. The yard should be
provided with n protected shed, by
rights, one that Is dry and well
bedded.
In agreement with the adage again,
hold down the amount of feed. Bet
ter rougli the horses through. Tills
fits In with die need for economy in
feeding hlso. On account of the
smaller amount of work to be done,
and the consequent loss of return from
the horses, the feeding should be as
economical as possible.
Given good roughage, the grain can
usually be eliminated from the ration
Idle work horses given (lie run of a
well protected lot with a well pro
tected siied or shelter will do well on
a ration of hay, out straw, corn stover
and sorghum or cane, as much ns they
will eat. Of course, it depends on what
shape the horse is in when he goes Into
the winter, ns to the umount of grain
fed. He should receive enough grain
to bring him Into shape If he is low In
condition but In the Interests of econ
omy and the horse’s own welfnre, the
grain ration should be the minimum
necessary to bring him bnck Into con
dition. Let good roughage do the most
toward carrying the horse through.
Toward the end of the season, say a
month and a half or two months be
fore the spring work begins, start feed
ing a light grain ration. Increase the
ration gradually until the horses nrs
on their working rations.
Necessity of Legume.

Whole wheat Increases the feeding
value of the mash, it is claimed, nnd
saves buying brun and middlings.
With middlings at S4O a ton, wheat is
estimated to have a value of around
$1.20 a bushel when thus fed.
