Winsome Combinations.
Combinations never dreamed of by
the dressmakers who evolved the old
time print frock are now offered as
the latest tiling from Paris, translated
by the American importer who deals
in exclusive and individual models.
One of these Is built in tiers, two tiers
forming the skirt, flat, nnd slashed at
one side. The tunic, of a length to
form a third tiered flounce, opens at
the side, corresponding in line to the
slashed flounces of the skirt. It is
quite Russian in feeling and is belted
loosely at a low line. The blouse Is
cut a shallow square nt the neck and
has long, plain sleeves fastening tight
at the wrists.
The frock might be worked out In
crepe or fine wool twill, but it Is done
in calico of a stiffly printed pattern in
pale beige, blue and green. A plain
blue cotton material is used In a fold
about the edge of each tier of the
skirt, outlining the opening of the
blouse, the neck and the sleeves, nnd
forms a narrow stitched strap belt
fastened with a blue enameled buckle.
pother calico frock has a white
background with a pattern of email
black dots wide apart. A tunic, tfiirze
quarter length, Is beltiess and is
trimmed around the bottom and around
the slashed openings at the sides v.-Ith
a fold of black organdie, which a!;?
forms cuffs on the long, straight
sleeves nnd outlines the square neck.
A white and blue calico one-piece
frock of the light, smooth weave called
percale Is trimmed with graduated
folds of white organdie on the bottom
to the knee. The bateau neck is fin
ished with a collar of the organdie
made with a double bias fold drawn
to fit the curve of the neck line. Tills
In some of the lighter colored per
cales, especially those of small flower
patterns, frills of muslin, butiste or or
gandie, white or In a color to harmon
ize with the frock, are used in unique
ways to give an effect of lightness that
is altogether sweet and summery.
A decorative cotton material that
appeared among the imported dress
materials earlier In the season was
taken to be an upholstery material.
But lately it has been sent out by
some of the leading American design
ers in most charming frocks. The pat

These cretonnes are employed by
clever American artists In reproduc

which, becuuse of their simplicity,
work out well, conspicuously In the

CHIPPY AND SHARPY
"Let’s have a frolic and a game nnd
a race,” said Chippy Chappy the
squirrel.
He had been named after his
grandfather, Chippy Chappy nnd there
wns a famous chipmunk named Chippy
Chappy too.
Sharpy, the squirrel, looked at
Chippy nnd said: “All right, Chippy,
I’m always ready for some fun.”
So Chippy Chappy and Sharpy
started to play.
"We’ll play tag first,” said Chippy
Chappy.
“Good,” said Sharpy, “you can be
‘it.’ ”
“No, you he ’it,’ ” said Chippy
Chappy. And Sharpy agreed, because
if neither of them played “it” they
couldn't have the game.
Sharpy chased Chippy Chappy from
one tree to another. At one time
Chippy Chappy jumped a great big
jump, but Sharpy was after him.
Then Chippy Chappy jumped another
enormous big jump, but Sharpy didn’t
like that so well.
lie jumped though nnd tugged
Chippy Chappy so that Chippy Chappy
was "it.”
Then Chippy Chappy chased Sharpy
and Sharpy ran down the side of a
tree and along the lawn and came to
another tree.
He got quite far ahead of Chippy
Chappy doing this ns Chippy Chappy
hadn’t thought lie would run down the
tree nnd along the lawn.
But Chippy Chappy hurried ufter
him when lie saw what he wns doing.
And after a time he caught up with
Sharpy and Sharpy once more was
“itT*
They played this game for some
time and then they decided they
would play hide-and-seek.
Sharpy had a beautiful hole In one
of the trees in which to hide.
And he was anxious that Chippy
shouldn't find him for awhile, as In the
There They Sat and Scolded
tree was a most delicious nut whici.
had been put there some time before
and which had been forgotten about.
But Chippy Chappy cume Just as
Sharpy was enjoying the nut.
“Let’s not play hide-and-seek any
more,” said Chippy. “I feel the need
of a little nourishment."
“Ah, but it’s my nourishment,” said
Sharpy.
••But I am willing It should be mine,
too," said Chippy Chappy.
“Oh, but I’m not,” said Sharpy.
“But I am,” said Chippy.
“That's not fair,” said Sharpy.
“Who says it Isn’t fair?” asked
Chippy.
“I do,” said Sharpy.
“I don’t,” said Chippy. “And I’m
us good a judge as you are.”
“You’re not,” said Sshurpy.
“I am,” said Chippy.
“But I say you’re not,” said Sharpy
"But I say I am,” said Chippy.
And there they sat and scolded each
other until the afternoon had almost
gone.
And the great joke of it all was that
wiilie they were scolding over one nut
the other squirrels had been Jumping
from place to place and had had most
astonishing luck in tindlng good things
to eat.
But the quarreling of Chippy and
Shurpy took so much time that they
missed all the real feast.
It wus night-time when they had
finished arguing, hut by that time both
of them were too tired to scold any
more.
And so they went to bed and to
sleep, weary und worn out. And also
with very empty little tummies.
The exercise they had had made
them hungry, hut alas, they were too
tired to gi/. their food and no one else
seemed to feel like handing It to them
on a tree tray.
No, the others did not seem to feel
like waiting on Chippy Chappy and
Sharpy the squirrel hut seemed to
think it was a great Joke that they had
wasted their time in an argument over
one poor little nut.

Soy Beans Make
Very Good Feed
Experiments Prove Worth of
Valuable Crop for Increas
ing Flow of Milk.
In a number of tests made by sev
eral experiment stations with soy
beans, the results showed this crop to
be a very valuable feed for dairy
cows, ns the animals used in the test
showed good gains in flesh und milk
production.
The Tennessee agricultural experi
ment station conducted a feeding test
with milk cows, comparing soy bean
nnd nlfalfa hay in combination with
corn silage and corn and cob meal.
Each lot of cows consisted of four
Jerseys and the test lasted through
three periods of 30 days each. At the
conclusion of the tests, the results
showed that the lot fed soy bean hay
produced 245 pounds more milk and
20.5 pounds more butterfat tfian the
lot receiving nlfnlfn hay.
Average Hay Yield.
The soy bean will yield from one to
three tons of hay to the acre nnd oc
casionally four tons, depending upon
the fertility of the soil and the season.
Under favorable conditions soy beans
should average two tons to the acre.
The soy bean nlso forms n valuable
supplement to corn for ensilage. Corn
In itself makes rather a wide ration
and should he supplemented with
feeds richer in protein to balance the
ration. The Maine agricultural ex
periment station, in an experiment
with six cows, comparing soy beans
nnd corn silage with corn silage nlone,
found the cows on soy bean and corn
silage with one pound less grain did
prnctlcally ns well ns on corn silage.
In nil feeding tests with soy beans
and corn silage, the animals showed
good gains in flesh nnd milk produc
tion.
Fertilizing Value.
The fertilizing value of a crop of
soy beans compares favorably with
that of other legumes. The Kansas
agricultural experiment station re
ports an Incrense of 14 bushels of
com to the ncre where com followed
soy beans In alternate yenrs ns com
pared with corn grown continually.
Soy beuns may be plnnted any time
after com planting time.
Not Necessary for Roof
on Cement Manure Pits
Where a manure pit is built of
cement and no real opportunity for the
liquid manure to leach away, there
would be no real necessity of having n
roof on the pit. However, one of the
objects of a roof is to hnve the manure
In a place where it is not so objec
tionable and the ammonia does not
evaporate so rapidly if the pit is
closed in. However, tills evaporation
can be prevented providing the manure
Is kept moistened.
Where a griuit deal of liquid manure
Is obtained, which is usually the case
In up-to-date dairy barns, the manure
would not dry out, especially if there
was not too much bedding in It. If
there was considerable bedding and
not sufficient liquid manure going
with the manure from day to day Into
the pit, it would he necessary to use
hose or some other means of wetting
down the pile. With horse manure,
which dries out very rapidly, It nearly
always Is accompanied by a large
amount of dry litter and it Is very es
sential that the manure be packed and
dampened frequently. Tills would nlso
be true in dry times even though it
had no roof. Unless a very good ab
sorbent is used for bedding, horse inn
nure will go info the pit somewhat dry
and consequently it needs n great deal
of wetting down in order to prevent it
from heating to such an extent as to
dry It out. —It. A. Moore, Wisconsin
College of Agriculture.
Calves for Baby Beef
Feeding calves for the baby beef
market is the safest kind of cattle
feeding and a larger number of calvei
is being fed for the market this year
than ever before. Feeders of this kind
of cattle too often send them to mar
ket before they hnve become fat
enough to command a price that will
insure the largest net returns. No
other class of cattle is discriminated
against so severely as a hnlf-fut baby
beef. The fatter the baby beef the
more profit he makes.
Seed for Hog Pasture
For a hog pasture sow about four
bushels of oats per acre, about five
pounds of rape, about four pounds of
sudan grass and, If your land will grow
clover, you should add some sweet
clover seed and some alsike clover, sev
eral pounds each. You may think this
Is heavy seeding, hut these plants are
to be kept pastured down from the
time the oats have made enough
growth, so they need to be thick if you
get wucb pasturage.
Change in Official
Grain Grades Made
No. 1 Hard Spring and Mixed
. Durum Added to List.
(Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
Changes iu the ollicial grain stand
ards of the United States promulgated
by Secretary Wallace, May 17, Include
the establishment of anew grade to
he known as No. 1 hurt! spring to be
added to the sub-class dark northern
spring of the grades for hard red
spring, and the uddition of anew pro
vision for grades for mixed durum.
The changes become effective August
15, 1924.
Number 1 hard spring includes wheat
of the class hard red spring, consisting
of 85 per cent or more of dark, hard
and vitreous kernels; shall be cool and
sweet and shall have a test weight per
bushel of at least GO pounds. The
grade may contain not more than 14
per cent of moisture; not more than
1 per cent of foreign material other
than dockage, which 1 per cent may
include not more than 5-10 of 1 per
cent of matter other than cereal *
grains; not more than 2 per cent of
damaged kernels, which may include
not more than 1-10 of 1 per cent of
“beat-damaged kernels; not more than
5 per cent of wheat other than hard
red spring, which 5 per cent may in
clude not more than 2 per cent of
durum wheat nnd may contain not
more than 5 per cent of wheat of the
variety humpback.
The new section providing grades for
mixed durum reads as follows:
Mixed durum shall be mixed wheat,
consisting of 70 per cent or more of
durum wheat other than tlie variety
red durum nnd may contain not more
than 5 per cent of soft red winter
and white wheat, singly or combined.
Mixed durum shall he graded accord
ing to the requirements of the grades
for mixed wheat. The grade designa
tion of mixed durum wheat shall be
mixed durum, preceded by the number
of the grade, or the words “sample
grade,” as the case may be.
Other changes In the now regulations
include changes In the definition of the
terms wlieut and cereal grains, grades
for weevily wheat, nnd a change In the
definition of western red wheat andi
increase in test weight of this sub
class. The speelal limitation ngntnst
white wheat In wheat of other classes
In grades Nos. 1 and 2 of all sub
classes of hard red spring nnd hard
red winter wheat Is eliminated, nnd a
change Is made In the grade designa
tion of mixed wheat. Some changes
are also made In the standards for
corn, oats and rye.
Rolling Poultry Houses
Beneficial to Keepers
Poultry houses on wheels are not
popular in the United States, but It
may be beneficial to some poultry
keepers to know a little more about
such houses. On every farm are tracts
of land where during certain periods
of the year there Is much food for the
liens, hut which will be wasted un
less the flock is moved out to the
fields. Dragging houses around on
runners is not a popular Job hut they
are quite easily moved when mounted
on wheels. A house on wheels can
he used as brooder house, luying house,
or for special matings, and Is especial
ly adapted for hospital use us It can
readily lie moved away far enough to
protect the healthy birds from infec
tion. The construction is very simple
—all that Is needed Is Just an axle and
a couple of wheels. Most every farm
er has some old wheels around his
place, which lie may never use for any
other purpose and an old axle usiinlTy
can he found also. If the axle is lo
cated so that the house will he fa !rly
well balanced on It It can readily be
handled on two wheels, If not too
large.
