Cut Steel Is Used to Adorn Milady’s Clothes An interesting new-old note Is the return of cut steel to favor in the field of costume jewelry. We are more or less accustomed fo it~ use in buckles of various sorts and it makes beads for our embroideries, and passementeries, but along with the resurrection of cut steel ornaments for shoes and evening slippers we are being introduced to its use in ear rings, which are looped, of course; bracelets, of considerable width and set with colored stones; and the smart sautoirs that depend from a ribbon of black. The fashion of cut steel is a distinc tive one, none the less welcome that It Is decidely practical.

DADDY’S HI EVENING mßTrmEilJp wwcrrr gy <ygwtfi /VKJAiPen JACK AND SPELLING Jack is a dog. He Is a very clevei dog, a very wise dog, a very beautiful dog. That is almost enough for any dog, hut still he would not be a natural dog if be didn’t want affection, too. And lie receives a great deal of affection. Oh yes, Jack is dearly loved. Then, too, he is very brave. Jack has risked his wife to suve others. His mistress is very proud of him, but Jack is not conceited, nor does lie think he has ever done anything won derful. He thinks lie has only done what Is natural when he has saved lives. He had the opportunities. That is what he thinks. Jack Is a police dog—and when Jack was younger he belonged to a policeman, too. It was then that lie helped the policeman to stop a runaway and Jack was hurt then. The policeman thought that Jack had hud quite enough hard and dangerous work in his life and that he should lead a more restful life. It was at that time that Jack took up his life at the home of his dear present mistress —the one lie hoped he would always have. Now and again the mistress would go to the city and he would see his big policeman friend and there would be such joy. The children around would see the dog greeting the policeman and they would see the policeman greeting the dog and the sight was quite a wonder ful one. But there was just one thing Jack couldn’t do. He couldn’t spell. No, not a single word could lie spell, nor did lie know which words were which when people took them apart, as it were, and put them together letter by letter. He couldn’t do the other lessons the children did in school, but lie didn’t mind about that. It was spelling he wished he understood. But his mistress took care that he didn’t learn to spell. That was something she didn’t want him to know. He would never have to write or to read und so it would never be awkward for him if he couldn’t spell. And there was one Important reason why she didn’t want him to learn. Jack knew the meaning of prnctlcal ly every word that was used. When anyone said it was dinner time Jack was all excited. When any one said It was time |f Jack 16 Dearly Loved. for a walk, or that, maybe, a walk would be nice, Jack was up and ready! When anyone said that it would he nice to sit before tlie fire as It was still quite chilly Juck went and sat before the fireplace and looked around to see who was going to strike the match. Or when someone said that It would be well to build the fire Jack was ready to go out to the woodhouse and to help bring in some wood. When anyone said that a bone would be nice—well, Jack thought so too, and barked a “Yes, thank you.” A ludy came to see Jack's mistress one day, and after she had been there for a while she said: “Dear me, I didn’t know it was get ting so late. Mercy 1 I must hurry home for din ” But she didn’t get any further. Jack had pricked up his ears. “Don’t say the word,” Jnck’s mis tress cried, “for it’s not time for d-l-n --n-e-r yet (and she spelled the word out) and Jack will get so excited and will hardly be üble to wait If he hears the word. “I have to spell everything I don’t want him to understand.” And the lady looked at Jack and S aw that he looked a little sad that the talk was going to be partly in spelling, and he felt a little bit hurt that they spelt before him. Who wants to have people spell w-ords be fore them? Well, for one, there la the dog, Jackl Cause of Losses to Pea Canners Seed of Right Variety Is One of Most Important Considerations. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) One of the most important consid erations in the commercial growing of peas for canning is seed of the right variety, as a few plants of the wrong kind may ruin the entire pack, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The Alaska variety, which is the basis of a very large percentage of tiie acreage used for canning pur poses, must be kept reasonably pure if the crop is to be grown at a profit, and no matter how good the seed is otherwise, if there is a small per centage of peas known ns Bnngallas, the crop wii! be undesirable for can ning becnuse of the discoloration pro duced by this variety. Test Samples of Seed. During the past two years the de partment hns collected samples of seed of canning peas on the open mar ket and grown them side by side in trial grounds; some surprising facts regarding the quality of the seed hnve been brought out. In 1923 the growing tests of Alaska pens comprised 219 samples, and of these 11 proved to be true to name with no off-type plants. Sixteen samples were off-type only In the slightly greater length of vine, while tiie and character of the pods would admit them for can ning purposes; 67 samples showed less than 10 plants per rod of row of off type peas and vines. Of the remainder there were 51 samples which showed from 10 to 25 plants per rod having long vines not characteristic of the Alaska variety. The samples which had more than 25 plants per rod of long vines numbered 39, while 35 samples were either not Alaskns or were so-called “wild Alaskns” or field peas. Of all the 219 samples, 4.0 per cent were high-grade Alnskns, 7 4 per cent showed only off-type vines, find 81.1 Tier cent had less than 10 plants per rod off-type in character. Of these samples, 94 could lie used for canning purposes, but 125 were such decided departures that they could not tie suc cessfully handled in commercial plant ings. Results of 1923 Tests. The results of the tests In 1923 paralleled those of 1922 and It Is be lieved these tests give a good Index Unique Slogan of Bank of Petersburg, N. Dak. “We bank on the cow, the sow, the ewe, and the lien.” The First National Bank of Peters burg, N. Dak., hus this slogan on ils unique bunk statement recently issued. Pictures of cows, sheep, and swine rather than moneybags are the decora tions used. On the same page with a statement of the bank's financial condi tion is one of the agricultural status of the community. The report points with pride to the improved live stock and diversified nature of the farming in the district: The 6,000 breeding ewes with pure bred rams at the liead of every flock, the GO pure bred bulls, the 100 or more registered cows besides a great num ber of high-grade females, the large acreage of Grimm alfalfa, the $51,000 worth of produce shipped out during the past year, and the activities of the Petersburg Live Stock Shipping association, which handled HO cars of live stock last year. The officials of the bank have been active in co-operating with the United Suites Department of Agriculture In encouraging the use of pure bred sires and in general live stock Improvement. GROWERS LIKE OILED • WRAPPER FOR APPLES Use Is Suggested as Result of Thorough Trials. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) The use of oiled-paper wrappers for preventing upple sculd Is finding in creased favor urnong glowers, par ticularly in the Northwest, says the United States Department of Agricul ture. Approximately 15.000,000 boxes of apples were wrapped for storage last fall, whereas in 1022 there were about 600,000 bores so treated. The practice of using oiled paper for wrap pers is suggested by the department as a result of a number of years of trials with various methods for pre venting the appearance ol the disease in storage apples and apples In transit, which annually causes great loss to dealers, buyers und shippers, and ul timate disappointment to consumers. of the character of the seed being offered to the trade by many seeds men. The requirements of the com mercial growers are very much more exacting than those of the market gnrdener or home gardener. The planting of extensive acreages of spurious or off-type Alaska peas has resulted In great losses in the eastern part of the canning area. In some cases the pack lias been absolutely ruined by the presence of n small per centage of lhingnlins, which discolor the liquid In the cans. The only Insurance against such losses is high-grade seed true to varietal type. Eradication of Cattle Tuberculosis Costs Less In the eradication of cattle tubercu losis It is now possible to get better use out of the money expended than ever before, according to tiie experi ence of the veterinarians carrying on the campaign for the United States Department of Agriculture. During the past year the average cost per head of testing cattle under govern ment supervision was 35 cents, a re duction of 11 cents from the figure of the preceding year. Tills reduction, which was brought about largely through tiie spread of the area testing plan, makes It possible to advance much more rapidly with the eradica tion work. Most of tiie areas In which all of the cattle have been tested at one time are counties, and counties free of cattle tuberculosis may now lie found in nearly all parts of the coun try from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Gulf. Every one of the four cor ners of the country has at least one free county or one In which a cam paign Is now being carried on. Up near the extremity of Maine Is Pis cataquis county; In southwestern Ari zona is Maricopa county; Island coun ty, Wash., Is free; and work Is Just starting to make the final clean-up In Dude county, Fla.* Sweet Clover Requires Well-Settled Seed Bed Sweet clover requires a well-settled and firm seed bed, with Just enough loose soil on the surface to permit the seed to be well covered. When sown in the spring on winter grain, the seed bed Is as a rule In good condition, and the seed will he covered by al ternate freezing and thawing. When sown witti spring grain, the seed bed is often not so firm ns It should he for rapid germination. In such cases It Is a good plan to roll the ground after seeding. When seeded without a nurse crop it should never be sown on land which has had no chance to settle. For this reason the land should be plowed some time before seeding and worked down by thorough cultivation. In the West, where spring seeding Is always necessary, the best results are secured from fall-plowed land followed by early spring seeding. Serviceable Floor for New House for Poultry Here’s u way to make a dry and serviceable floor for that new poultry house. Use four Inches of good grado cinders covered witli two layers of tar paper and three inches of cement on top. The cinders should not give any trouble from disintegration or allow the floor to sag or break, for they are often used in a similar way. A thoroughly dry floor for the poul try Is essential to success, according to the department of agricultural engi neering at lowa State college, which offers this suggestion. Where In the past It has been cus tomary to wrap the apples In ordinary paper, as Is done with the western crop, the use of oiled paper does not entail any additional effort or trouble and adds but two cents to the cost of each box. Apples wrapped in oiled pa per of the proper kind come through the winter In excellent condition and have been received with special favor on the market, especially during the latter part of the season. In May, 1923, oiled wrapper apples were sell ing on the New York auction for $1 more per box than similar ap ples In tinoiled wrappers.
