HAVING ABUNDANCE OF SUMMER
FEED OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Dry Pastures and Bnrned-Up Hillsides Following Drought
of lOlO Teach Lesson That Shoud Not be Forgotten
Eloquent Though Severe Plea for Sum
mer Silo for All Farms.
A
it
A Modern
' The dry pastures and burned-up
Jhlllsides following the drouth of 1910
made a very strong Impression as to
the Importance of having i.ood sum
jmer feeding. It was an eloquent
though severe plea for the summer
silo and led to some splendid tes
timony In Its favor. The drouth "cut
down the milk flow in most of the
herds nearly 60 per cent., says a writ
er In an exchange. Not one farmer
!in a hundred had provided for this
emergency by a good supply of suc
culent food that would make milk,
it Is the same old story over again
this year. It seems to take a tre
mendous lot of pounding on the part
of Providence, to get It into farmers'
heads that a summer silo Is a grand
thing. The Hoard's Dairyman herd
of cows had fifty tons or more of nice
corn silage to turn to when feed grew
shprt and they rolled out the milk
nicely right along. Besides, they will
keep at it. There Is nothing like a
supply of silage for summer use. It
Is close by and handy to the stable
for use, when you want It And fur
thermore It will produce more milk
than any other kind of soiling feed."
This Is the experience of all expe
rimenters, who find that silage holds
milk flow during drouth even better
than soiling. It Is reasonable that
It should.
I recall the substance of a strong
editorial In Wallace's Parmer, while
referring particularly to the lesson of
the 1910 drouth, applies with equal
force this season wherever pastures
are used or cattle are fed. It Is
worth publishing again and I quote
the folio ving from it:
"The question we are constantly
asked is, 'will silage keep through the
summerf We are glad to be able to
give a direct answer to this, not the
oretically, but from personal experi
ence. We built a silo on one of the
"Wallace farms and filled It In 1908.
rand made the mistake of building It
too large. During the winter of 1908
09 the silage was not all used. Last
all we put In new silage on top of
the old, and during the winter used
'Out of the new silage, leaving the
unused remainder In the bottom. We
are now feeding that silage, and the
man In charge an experienced dairy
man, tells us that after the waste on
top was removed, this two-year-old
silage Is as good as any he ever used ;
that the cattle eat It as readily as
anything and eat more of It than
tbey did during the winter."
This is in entire harmony with ev
ery farmer we ever heard of who
uses summer silage. If silage will
keep two years without any waste ex
cept on the exposed portion of the
surface then It will certainly keep
one.
"Some people say: "We may not
have another summer like this.' To
this we reply that a period of short

pastures during July and August la
the rule In all the corn belt states as
this season and last have demon
strated and lush grass at this season
of the year Is a rare exception. Re
member that seasons come in cycles
o" unknown duration, and the time of
their coming is uncertain; that It has
always been so, and It Is safe to as
sume that they always wltl until the
creator sees fit to change his method
of watering the earth. Therefore,
well-made silage In a good silo Is
Just as staple as old wheat In the
mill. There will be a waste of sev
eral Inches on the surface, lust as
there Is waste of several Inches on the
surface of the hay stack or shock of
corn fodder; but a man can afford
that waste. If he has the assurance
that his cows will not fall in their
milk or his cattle lose flesh even It
there should be little or no rain for
thirty or sixty days. When you put
up a silo for summer use, you are
going into a perfectly safe proposl
tion, provided, of course, you build It
right, and fill It properly."
It Is well to remember that less si
lage will naturally be fed in summer
than In winter and In order to keep
the surface In fairly good condition
at least three inches of silage should
be taken off dally, where two Inches
will suffice In the winter. It will be
found advisable therefore In building
the summer silo to keep the diameter
proportionately smaller. It Is not pos
sible now to get silage to tide you
over the dry pasture season, but now
Is the time to get your silo for next
winter and summer. Don t delay or
you may not be able to get one at
all.

There used to be an old-time bellel
that It was necessary to have the nest

the nest egg. and that Is to teach the
hen to lav In particular nests, but
the nest egg has no Influence what

Hard Work Running Dairy.
The dairy farmer has the consola

A Comfortable. Attractive Prison.
New South Wales, Australia, aince
the advent of woman suit a re, has
proceeded upon the principle that
I nothing is too good for the women
even for those who are being deprived
of their liberty. The new peniten
tiary for women at Long Bay is prob
ably the most up-to-date, tonfortable,
and even luxuriua, place of its kind in
the world. It is fitted up with hot
and cold baths, with well ventilated
cells painted in pleasing colors, elec
tric lighted and stocked with suitable
reading matter. The prisoners are
graded according to the most advanced
ideas and special privileges are award
ed for good behavior. The wardresses
are all educated and refined women,
and a committee of ladies of Sydney
has charge of those who are dis
charged from the prison. Gardening,
dressmaking, cooking and washing are
. taught.
If incarceration is, supposed to be an
example to wrong-doers, there is un
doubtedly 'a point at which comfort
' and luxury in prisons may be carried
too far. On the other hand, it is
' doubtful whether anyone is ever in
jured by kind treatment if intelligent
ly directed. The Australian state has
set a good pace in regarding these un
fortunate women as in need of treat
ment rather than of punishment.
Long Bay is a moral and physical hos
pital; not, in the strict sense, peni
tentiary. Success Magazine.

FACTS
FEM
and
FANCIES
Ni:V YORK. The Inconsistency of
modern fashions Is well expressed
In the picturesque flower muffs tuut
have luttly appeared over the sar
torial horizon. Nevertheless these un
usual creations are considered among
the daintiest accessories introduced lu
many a day. Frequently the muff Is
made to correspond with the covering
of the pnrusol or its decoration. One
of the prettiest flower muffs we have
seen was made of rose petals In
shades of pink running from the
plainest tints of Prides' roses to the
softer tones of the American tleauty
rose. The sunshade that accompanied
the muff was lined with w hite mouase
llne caught across the ribs with nar
row shirrings. The rather deep shade
of pluk silk forming the foundation
of the parasol showed through Just
enough to give a lovely mellow effect.
Another charming outfit consisted
of muff, parasol and hat In violet,
running from the various purple tints
to the pinkish shades of the lilac.
The becoming little hat was fashioned
after the style of the Ilrlttany peas
ant caps, which furnish the Inspira
tion for many plays on smart head
wear Just now. In this particular In
stance the cap covers the features
almost completely. The crown Is
covered with violets and the llttlo
brim is faced with point venlae lace
In Its natural color. Such hats re
quire a pretty young face to bring
out their best lines. Other models ot
this type are fashioned after the style
of the Normandy caps and trimmed
with numbers of tiny wings. One
model boasted of as many as fifty of
these wings hardly bigger than a
humming bird's.
Smart Veils of Raw Silk.
The smartest veils of the present
hour of odd fancies are the raw silk
ones with meshes large enough that
the end of the nose may pass comfort
ably through. Then again others are
as fine as a cobweb, with a floral de
sign traced over the surface. White,
cream and champagne are the favored
tints and the tracings, or rather the
patterns are outlined with black. The
designs are aranged in border effects,
with the ends traversing the upper
part of the veil.
gome of the snappiest little hot
weather frocks for morning wear are
made of Japanese crepe, such as was
once used only In kimonos. These
proctlcol dress;s are an Important
feature when It comes to laundering,
for they may be washed In the basin
and require little or no ironing. If
the collar and sleeves have trim
mings of different material, tnen It
may be necessary to employ an Iron
for these particular parts. The crepe
Is found In a long range of colors,
including many charming border pat
terns. The summer tourist with many
long trips before her, stopping only
briefly here and there, will do well
to provide herseir with a stock of
crepe blouses; she will find them both
practical and cool.
! Just at the beginning of vacation
time the striped silk skirtings are
about the most popular item of the
silk counter. These silks are wash
able, which makes them altogether
desirable, and they come In a variety
of different colors and markings.
Stripes lead In favor, while checks
and broken plaids In endless varia
tions of design and color are too
abundant to attempt to describe,
fihlrts of these silks are often or
dered of the shlrtmaker by the dozen
and even more by women who do not
KJ
consider the cost of their wardrobes.
They are so soft that they tuck Into
a little handbag for an over-nlgbt trip
or go luto numbers Into the suitcase
without danger of being mussed.
Midsummer Novelty.
One of the midsummer develop
ments that might be considered a nov
elty Is the use of striped skirts with
plain little satin coals, cut on Dtreo
tolre lines. Frequently bright tones
are employed for the stripes and the
pluln coats emerald green, corona
tion blue, fruit red and old rose and
the like. A very stunulng suit of the
kind had the skirt of golden brown
and white striped silk serge and a
coarse net blouse embroidered with
brown. The coat was of plain golden
brown satin. The model In this In
stance wus one of the open effects
with a single huge rever. The oppo
site side of the cout showed a vry
lurge full frill of Ivory tinted lace.
White flannel and white serge cos
tumes stitched with bright colored
silk and with hat, purasul, shoes and
stockings en suite are the latest whim
of a society leader whose clothes are
always more or less out of the ordl
uary. This same young matron ap
peared at au uptowu restaurant the
other duy attired In a white serge
tailor-made stitched .with bright green
thread. Sue wore a becoming little
drooping hut iu the same shade of
green trimmed with swirls of uncurled
ostrich feathers arranged high at the
back. Her long handled sunshade was
In corresponding color, and was
mounted on a green glass stick that
scintillated at every turn. The glass
was cut In crystal effect. Her green
suede pumps were decorated with big
oval buckles lu tarnished gold.
Dainty Lswn Party Frock.
A dainty and effective little frock
worn at a lawn party was of cream
colored batiste of sheer quality
trimmed very effectively with cre
tonne. The skirt was straight and
scant, and gathered ever so slightly
Into a raised girdle. There were
three narrow bauds of cretonne near
the foot, the bands being made up ot
a delicate rose and vine pattern. The
bodice was a cunning little affair, fas
loned after the style of the "baby
waist and finished with a gracefully
draped fichu edged with double pelisse
of white mallue. The coat was of dl
rectolre style and made of the cre
tonne with old blue collar, revers and
cuffs. The short tails or tabs at the
back were lined with the blue and fur
ther trimmed with big buttons,
AU the smart bags this season have
handles of heavy silk cord from one
to two yards long. Sometimes they
are carried with the cord knotted or
twisted Into big loops, but the latest
fad is to put the cord over the shoul
der and allow the bag to come almost
to the finger tips, so that It may be
In place to open conveniently. Some
of the novel bags are of dull gold lace,
representing ancient designs. Other
come In cluny and Irish lace effect
made of metallic threads, and all are
so Immense that they look more like
albums than anything else. Black and
white stripes are liked for costume
In the same combination. Such bags
are mounted on metal rims and have
handsome clasps often set with col
ored stones. '
In Neckwesr.
Fads In neckwear are so numerous
that one hardly knows which to men
tion as being smartest. Perhaps the
most practical of the better collars Is
the one of Irish lace worn over an
other collar of exactly the same shape.
wntcn is or plain organdie. Some
such colters have long fichu ends that
tie across the bust or Just below it
Fichus remain In favor and have giv
en on end of easy drapery possibilities
to simple little blouses. Many are
very elaborate, being of fine handker
chief linen and handsomely em
broidered by hand. Some of the young
er girls are wearing their fichus out
side their coats, securing the ends
with a very long bar pin.
The liking for cerise, or chcrrv. as
It Is called by many, has not abated.
When touches of It first anenared In
the early spring it was thought to be
merely a passing fancy, but now we
see cerise trimming all kinds of gowns
from the tailor-made to the elaborate
evening frock. One of the latest uses
to which the collar has found Its way
Is In the separate collar and cuff t
of satin and worn with white serge or
linen tailored suits. The collars are
enormous In size, and likewise tha
cuffs. Pocket flaps, cravats and often
me nanntjag, carry out the color
scheme to perfection. We have also
noticed such sets In reversible silks
plain on one side and strlned on tha
other. They are very striking, wheth

and white piped with color.
