TAILORED suit IS ■
SEASON’S FAVORITE
Outfit Serves Admirably to
Show Off Many Charm
ing Accessories.
Mi =s springtime Is not wearing the
straight nd slmple tailored suit f ° r
£own sake. She has chosen its se
vM ity as a background to Indulge a
nste for charming accessories.
The boyish-cut suit, with its smart
little upper or lower pocket, is delight
fiillv adorned with a watch fob or a
bright, dainty handkerchief. The nar
row, nionogrammed tie or the gay
scarf, so difficult to choose from a mil
lion ingenious creations, looks well
under the long lapeled jacket.
And what is a buttonhole for if not
for naively bright spring ttower'or bou
tonniere? The yellow tulip is a de
lightful touch with a tie anti a “lmnky ’
of the same shade.
If Miss Springtime cannot boast a
pocket in her new suit, and pockets,
after all, are not the most essential
things In her life, she can wear her
dainty net-edged handkerchief strapped
about her slender wrist on a little bead
ed wristlet. The fluttory edges of net
peek alluringly from under the sleeve
and the narrow bracelet gives an old
fashionet,] charm to the wrist.
Then there are Luckies. And there
are hat ornaments and canes. And
there are vests and collars and sheer
hose and novelty gloves. All these
things are really more important than
the frock or coat or tailored suit.
Everybody knows the well-dressed
young woman who buys expensive and
tasteful hats and shoes and gloves
every season, and her simply tailored
frock perhaps only once In two or
three years.
Of course, some women over-empha
slze the Importance of these costume
accessories. He warned, no one can
wear them all at the same time. Soon
er or later one sees a young creature
strolling down the avenue wearing a
watch fob, a bracelet, a scarf, a neck
tie, a handkerchief and a boutonniere
all at once. And the same young per
son has buckles or. her shoes and car
ries a cane. Sadly overdecorated.

neckpieces dyed in strange and won

“Life,” said the Alligator Snapping

“Here I am in a Southern river, and
I’ve been about for a long time.
“But the fishes are as silly as ever
they were. Of course I am delighted
they are so silly. That is what I find
so amusing about life.
“Here I am in the water. I lie very
still. My color is of a muddy brown

where I am.
“I have a part of my lower jaw
which I can move about and which
can capture my prey.

“I keep my jaws open, though, and I

“I have the nicest of table manners,
or should they be called river man

“At any rate I eat so nicely. I cut
the fish Into neat sections, taking one
piece at a time.
“I am quite friendly with snapping
turtles and with alligators, especially
alligators not too grownup.
“I’m a relative of both in a way,
and I am very much like a large-sized
snapping turtle and ray ways are like

“My looks are much the same,

“No, I like it better, much better,

“I would become so tired out rush

“And then, too, I think to myself
that it is so much better to keep from

“I like rest, plenty of rest. I’m not

“I never twist and turn about. I

“Of course that makes it very nice,

Illinois Now Has
Many Bull Clubs
Champaign County Organi
zation Has Fine Idea
of Pulling Together.
Illinois now has twelve co-opera
tive dairy sire associations, the mem
bers of which are banded together for
co-operative ownership, use uud ex
change of superior dairy bulls as the
first step toward building up their
herds for higher production and bigger
profits, according to C. S. lthode, dairy
extension specialist of the college of
agriculture, who lias charge of their
organization In the state. The Cham
paign County Co-operntive Guernsey
Hull association is the most recent ad
dition to the ranks of these organ
izations.
It is the third association in the
group of twelve in which the Guern
sey breed is being used, and is said
to be tiie largest co-operative breed
ing establishment In central Illinois
and the one that owns the most prop
erty. The association, which was or
ganized through co-operation of tiie
extension service of the agricultural
college and the Champaign county
farm bureau, has 5S members who are
the owners of 300 cows, most of which
are grade animals.
Stock for Each Cow.
Members of tiie association bought
stock iu the organization at the rate
of $5 for each cow in their respective
herds, this money going to finance the
purchase of live bulls. Each of the
five blocks or communities making
up tiie association will have the use
of one of tiie bulls for two years, at
the end of which time tiie animals
will be rotated to new blocks. This
process will be repeated every two
years until each block lias had the
use of all five bulls, thus giving each
member of the association the use of
an outstanding sire of the breed for
ten years nt u cost of only $5 for cncli
cow in his herd, or about 50 cents a
service.
Each of the association bulls has n
long line of good breeding and high
milk and butterfat production behind
him, tiie butterfat production of their
five dams averaging well over 000
pounds a year. Three of them were
bought from the Wuddington farm,
Wheeling, W. Vu„ and carry tiie blood
of Border Raider, one of the breed’s
greatest sires, while the fourth was
bought from the Massachusetts Guern
sey Breeders’ association, and the fifth
from the herd of John Williams, Wau
kesha, Wls.
Pull Together.
Like those in other co-operative hull
associations in the state, members of
the Champaign county organization
will hnve the community idea of pull
ing together to develop good cattle,
they can use superior bulls at low
cost, all of them will be using the
same line of breeding, the county will
be known ns the center for good
healthy, Guernsey cattle, good herds
will be developed at a minimum cost,
the superior bulls will sire high pro
ducing cows and each member of the
association can have the use of n high
class bull regardless of bow small his
herd is, Mr. Rhode said.
Control Codling Moth
by Spraying Knowledge
The codling moth is at present the
most serious Insect pest with which
the apple and pear growers of the Pa
cific Northwest have to contend.
Losses in some years average as high
as 20 per cent of the total crop, and
losses sustained by Individual growers
are often more than 50 per cent of
their crops. But, by using proper
methods, many growers keep their
losses well below 5 per cent.
A knowledge of the habits of the In
sect is essential for the Intelligent ap
plication of control methods. These

Care and Attention
for Homing Pigeons
For Best Success Procure
Well Performing Stock.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
1 borough training is as essential
as breeding in the successful manage
ment of homing pigeons, according to
banner’s Bulletin 1373, limning Pig
eons; Their Care and Training, Just
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Only a little
training should be given at a time, and
this thoroughly learned before longer
(lights are attempted.
It is very Important that pigeons
liuve complete confidence in their
trainer. Their future performance de
pends greatly on the care and atten
tion they receive when reaching home.
Home to the racing pigeon must mean
the place where it gets good attention
and plenty of food.
To make u success of the flying of
homing pigeons It is Important to pro
cure stock that Ims performed well in
competitive flights. It does not pay to
breed from struy birds or birds of un
known purentnge, as it takes about
three years to determine the qualifi
cations of a good homing pigeon for
u 500-mile flight. Select a pigeon
which has n good, broad skull, a long
face, and a V-shaped beak. There is
no standard color for homing pigeons,
nnd tills feature Is not considered In
selection or breeding except that white
birds are undesirable because they can
be readily seen by hawks. The body
conformation of the bird greatly influ
ences the distance it can fly, the long
keeled birds being better adapted for
long (lights nnd the short-keeled ones
for short (lights.
Close inbreeding Is not advisable. Any
unnatural matings of son to mother, fa
ther to daughter, or brother to sister
should bo changed and new matings
made. A strong constitution and plenty
of vigor are absolutely essential In the
selection of (lying pigeons, and nil
matings should be with these chnrac
istlcs In mind.

Clean High-Quality Eggs
Will Bring High Prices
If eggs are dirty, don’t wash them,
Is the advice offered egg producers by
the United States Department of Ag
riculture. Washed eggs deteriorate
more rapidly than unwashed, and de
tection of a few washed eggs may
cause buyers to penalize the entire lot.
Unusually large quantities of washed
eggs are reported tills spring, the de
partment says. Although dirty eggs
are discounted In price, washing eggs
will generally cause producers n great
er loss.
Only clean, unwashed, high-quality
eggs bring top prices. Production of
clean eggs Is accomplished by keeping
ben house floors nnd nests clean, gath
ering the eggs dally and keeping the
laying hens during muddy weather In
dry quarters until afternoon when most
of the eggs will have been laid. Pro
ducers will find it more profitable to
use the soiled eggs on the farm, and
to market only the Lest quality prod
uct, the department says.
The farmer who falls to provide a
home vegetable garden may have
muny excuses, but none of them Is
any good.

Moot pigs will have to be weaned at
eight weeks of age if the sows are to
raise two litters every twelve months,
says an Ohio live stock specialist.

The best method of seeding alfalfa
In the spring Is with a small grain
nurse crop. Oats is probably the most
commonly used grain for this purpose.

Soys will grow without Inoculation,
and on rich soils the absence of nod
ules has little noticeable effect on the
plant. On poor soils the lack of In
oculation often seriously Injures the
crop.

In thinning appies, always remove
the smaller, mal formed, diseased or
Insect-infested specimens. The ap

thinning time will be relatively small
at harvesting time. Sava tlie best In
