X . in B etter Stock Figures Show Importance of Breeding and Selection— Warron Tuberculosis. <Prepared- by the United States, Department >' of Agriculture.; The improvement of all kinds of iarm live stock through breeding and f selection, the development of better methods'of feeding, the study ôf ani mal diseases and parasites, the pro tection of the industry from plagues which menace It from other countries, and the search for new facts concem- \ ing food values of animal products— in all these directions progress has been made during the last year, accord ing to the annual report made to the secretary, of agriculture by the bu reau of animal industry. The large •figures involved show the great im portance of the work being done for the industry based upon the production o f meat, milk, work, and wool. Animals Inspected. ^ More animals were Inspected by the department at various slaughtering es tablishments during this twelve-month period than during any similar period in the history of the live stock busi ness in this country. The number of animals slaughtered under inspection was more than 73,000,000, which ex ceeded the previous record by 2,000,000 animals. This inspection protects the consuming public against unwholesome meats and In many cases serves to ac quaint producers with the condition -of herds on the farm. The battle against cattle tuberculo sis has been going forward rapidly, ac cording to the report. At the close of the fiscal year there were more than 4315,000 cattle in 28,526 herds officially •accredited as free of (he disease, a T6 per cent increase In the number of these herds over the preceding year. The plan of cleaning out the plague in entire counties at one time is be coming popular. Fifty additional counties were freed during the year, raising the total to 81. In the course -of thç year the tuberculin test was ap plied to nearly three and a half mil lion, cattle, most of these found dis eased being slaughtered under inspec tion and the owners indemnified with federal, state and county funds. Areas In which practically all the tuberculous animals have been removed are now designated as “ modified accredited areas,’’ an arrangement which permits ■shipments of cattle from these areas ■without the usual restrictions. Animal Diseases Watched. There has been no foot-and-mouth ■disease in the United Stntes for a num ber of years, but the danger of its In troduction is great because of the pres ence of the highly contagious malady In Jamaica. The~department’s quarnn-' tine forces have beeh on the alert and so far have prevented its entrance; precautions have, been taken, in case It should pass our borders, to have .the defensive organization ready for im mediate action. During the year, the report says, the dangerous disease known as surra was found in the blood of five dromedaries, offered for Importation and inspected at one of the government's quarantine stutinns. Live stock Improvement Is being stimulated through a movement, called the “Better Sires—Better Stock\ cam paign, In which fanners and breeders •are Induced to pledge themselves to use only pure bred male animals on their farms. At the end of the year there were nearly 12,000 live stock owners who had made this pledge. A questionnaire sent out to several hun dred farmers brought out the most troublesome problems in the feeding of farm animals. As a result of the de partment’s offer to assist, many spe cial problems in animal nutrition have 'been sent in for solution or sugges tions. A study was made of the meat yields of the different farm animals, the results showing that the types rec ognized as best by judges at the lead ing shows are much superior to poorly bred stock from the meat production ■standpoint. The animal industry work has been brought to the attention of the public in various ways, including bulletins, articles In newspapers and farm pn- pers, through exhibits at shows and fairs, and by means of motion pictures. Legume Crops Developed With Natural Limestone Use of its natural limestone re- ■sources has greatly assisted St. ■Charles county, Missouri, in develop ing Its legume crops from a very small acreage to over 30,000 acres of •clover, 1.000 acres of alfalfa, and ex tensive plantings of soy beans and vcowpeas In 1923. according to reports ■to the United States Department of .Agriculture. These are especially im: portant. crops to St. Charles farmers •ns dairying Is one of their principal Industries. No limestone was being used in the county and practically no -clover or alfalfa grown when exten sion work had begun there in 1918. That year the agricultural extension •agent secured the co-operation of •about forty farmers in using lime on acid soil as a preparation for growing legumes. Successful ^demonstrations of the ■benefits of lime have increased each year and community limestone crush ers for utilizing local limestone have ■been installed “to supply the lime. In •three year’s time four crushers bad Peen established and this year 11 fiave been in use. Since 1920 over *3.000 tons of lime have been used In «the county annually, and up to Sep tember 1 of this year, 3,000 tons have «been applied, providing for a consid erable Increase in the legume acreage. Successful;Y_e^ior . Boy^ndGki Growers Youthful Arkansas Fanners Make Money on Crop. (Prepared by the United. States Department of Agriculture.) The Junior Potato Growers’ Associa tion of Garland County, Ark., is com posed of 90 farm boys and eight farm girls, ranging in age from about four teen to eighteen years. They are all members of the boys’ and girls’ potato clubs in which, under the guidance of the county . agricultural extension agent, they are learning to practice the best-known methods of growing pota toes and preparing them for market. These young farmer« organized their own growers’ association, according to reports to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, elected officers, appointed committees, -including a buy-> ing and a marketing committee,, and selected one variety of .potato which all mémbers agreed to grow. They finished harvesting their 1923 crop and on October 16 rendered a businesslike account of their year’s ac complishments to the Hot Springs Lions club, which has given the asso ciation support. The members gçpw, the report states, 786 bushels of. No. 1 grade potatoes and over 500 bushels of No. 2’s, pro ducing altogether 1,300 bushels. They marketed their crop co-operatively, re ceiving $1,644 for It. The cost of pro duction was $058; the net profit $986, about 74 cents per bushel. The mem ber making the highest yield harvested 27.5 bushels from one-eighth acre plot A number of the members, according to the report, have started bank ac counts with their earnings and prac tically all expect to continue the work next year. The report, signed by the president and secretary, is written on the print ed letterheads of the association, which bears the names of the boys and girls who are officers and members of the buying and marketing committees. Plant Potatoes Before Com to Get High Yield Planting potatoes after the corn has been put in, a practice followed by many com-helt fanners, does not pro duce the best results, according to a five-year experiment conducted co operatively by the United -States De partment of Agriculture and the Iowa experiment station. The fact that the minimum growing temperature for po tatoes Is fully 10 degrees lower than for corn would make the reverse of this prnctlce seem advisable, and yields from plantings made on various dates from early April to the middle of June have proved this contention to be sound. The early planting also has the advantage of an early fall market when prices usually are bet ter than a little later when marketing is In full swing. In this experiment the Rural New Yorker variety was used and the dates of planting were set at ten-day Intervals, beginning April 10. The seasonal rise in temperature reaches the 40-degree line in central Iowa usually a little before the middle of April. The best yields were obtained from plantings made shortly after the temperature pnssed the 40-degree line. Plantings made after the middle of May produced a successive decline In yield, and between the first and last plantings there was a spread of 65 bushels an acre. The average for the five years for the April planting was 124.4 bushels and for the plantings made the first half of June 76.2 bush els per acre. Hen House Ventilation Is of Much Importance Ten hens breathe off over a pint of water a day. Are you providing ventilation to get this out of the house, or do your hens take a continuous cold bath day and night, without a towel for a rub down? Even you would get the roup under such conditions. Watch out for moisture on tlie windows and frost on the walls. Put In one square foot of thin cloth curtain to every fif teen square feet of floor. Keep this curtain open whenever weather per mits. Draughts and damp air and floors cause more colds than zero weather. Exercise helps to prevent colds. Light feeding In a clean, dry litter eight Inches deep induces exer cise.—O. C. Krum, Poultry Specialist,' Colorado Agricultural College. Destroy Chinch Bugs by Burning Off Vegetation Considerable damage was done by chinch bugs last year. This pest Is carried through the winter in the ma ture state, hiding in fence rows and other places where they can find pro tection under grass and weeds through the winter season. They are now all congregating In places of that sort and the way to get rid of them Is to burn off the vegetation. This will de stroy many of them and those that are not killed In that way will find no pro tection and sooner or later will suc cumb to the cold. Mid-Season Afternoon Frocks Pretty Caps and Headbands t t 1 t || ,| | | | J | | | ! t | , a I I t i g 9 ~T~ T i l I f t t f t F ASHION has presented a fascinat ing throng of afternoon gowns this season. More than in anything else— unless it Is a beautiful hat—women take pleasure In a successful gown of this kind. It Is a pleasure which must be shared by designers, since they find in these dresses opportuni ties to use all the meins at hand, for telling elaboration and for the expres sion of original and clever Ideas. They have had the short-sleeved and the long-sleeved modes to Interpret—It appears that the midseason finds long sleeves leading—by a nose. Chiffon velvet has been 'a favorite all season. Nothing drapes more ef fectively and nothing gives colors a clencles, and some that point with pride to a well-made coiffure. Their name is legion and In any store that carries them they make up'un-allur ing company. Just the same things that have'been used are again used to make the last arrivals in morning headwear, nets and laces, ribbons, little flowers and occasional ornaments. It Is in the manipulation of ribbons that these new things are particularly interest ing.v A n example appears in the pretty breakfast cup pictured, which Is sim ply a full cup of cream colored net with a band of closely shirred, narrow satin“ ribbon edged with frills of val lace, about the face.

In sapphire or Egyptian blue It Is espe cially effective, but so it is In certain shades of brown. The model Is clev erly draped and fastened at the side with handsome clasps. Steel or sliver In the clasps look well on blue and Ivory, topaz or gold on brown. In either case dark fur contributes u rich finish—fitch recommended on brown and vlntha squirrel or dark natural squirrel or hlue. The gown at the left is developed In blue satin with cuffbnnds and a girdle across the front of brilliant embroid- ribbon divides the crown In two,Jines of It crossing at the center, and loops of It are posed agnlnst the cap nt the left side, where three strands of rib bon are braided together to form n bunging loop. A band of this nurrow ribbon Is knotted at Intervals nnd tacked over the upper frill of lace. Narrow black velvet ribbon, wider sarin ribbon and lace edging form the pretty headband shown. Little chiffon roses are set along the velvet band, alternating with knots In the ribbon nnd satin ribbon forms ties that fasten the hnnd at the buck of the neck. Chiffon, georgette, thin sllka and satins are used, with laces and rib bons, In many ways for making tlies» Solve Wheat Problem by Feeding All Live Stock Bread-saving habits formed In war time and needlessly continued now are limiting the consumption of wheat In this country to the disadvantage to both producer and consumer, say offi cials of the Department of Agricultnre. They assert that a return to pre-war | food habits in the use of wheat by the ! public and the feeding of low-grade wheat to live stock would greatly! help to solve the wheat problem. I Caps and Bands for Morning Wear. -jry—in black, red and gold. The em broidered bonds are edged with fur and a long sash of the satin is posed under the girdle at the right side. This model is best suited to a slender figure— It has a slightly bloused bodice and a- full, draped skirt. The other dress Is adaptable to either slender or full figures, since Its drapery Is arranged in lines that are_almost un broken. “ Oh, what a difference In the morn ing!’’ between the woman who looks like a wreck of the dream she was the night before and the one who manages to look pretty at the break fast table. When we consider what jrenkfost caps and headbands for morning wear will do to help out in a good cause, we feel like giving them i rising vote of thanks. And now along come the new ones, gay and dainty—some that conceal the lack of hairdressing zad make up for defl- beeoming bits of finery. They are thlugs that can be bought everywhere so that no one need be without these flattering accessories. (©. 1923, Western Newspaper Union.) Etched Glass Perfume Bottles.

INTERM EDIATE AND BENIOR TOP IC— Knowing and Obeying God's Law YOUNG PEO P L E AND AD ULT TOP-. IC— The Foundation of IsraoVs Life. Deuteronomy, the book from which our lesson Is taken, means “ second luw.\ It Is a second law In the sense that it Is a restatement and interpre tation of tlie law given at Sinai, for a new generation in a new country. Till? new generation needed a true concep tion of God and also an apprehension of the wonderful grace which had selected them and mude them a chan nel through which God’s grace would flow to the world. I. God’s Unparalleled Goodness tc Israel (Deut. 4:32-34). This was shown: 1. By Speaking. Audibly Out of the Midst of the Fire (vv. 32, 33). This honor conferred upon them was unique. It was unequalled. (1 ) I d past history— “ the days that are past since the day that God created mam upon the earth.” (2) Anywhere— “ from one side of heaven unto the other.” (3) In character—“there hath been no such great tiling ns this great thing Is.\ (4) In story or rumor— “or hath been heard like it I” (5) In dignity and majesty—“ did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire.” * 2. By HIs Marvelous Deliverance of Israel From the Egyptian Bondage (v. 34). Here, too, His grace Is unique. (1) In liberation—“ take him a nation from the midst of another nation.\ (2) In the method employed, (a) By temptations—testings, that is, plagues, (b) By signs nnd wonders—crossing Red sea, pillar of cloud, (c) By war (See Exod. 14:4; 15:3-10). (d) By out stretched arm—Divine Interposition, such as opening the Red sea for Israel and closing It upon the Egyptians, (e) By great terrors—the death of the first born. II. The Reason Why the Lord So Dealt With Israel (Deut. 4:35-38). 1. That They Might Know That the Lord Is Unique In the Midst of a World of Idolaters. God’s aim was to establish a nation who would know Him as the\ only God and make this essential and blessed truth known to other nations. 2. That They Might Know HIs Love for Them (vv. 37, 88). He loved them for their fathers’ sake nnd through them would make real HIs covenant purpose. III. The Obligation of Israel (Deut. 4:39, 40). They were to consider and receive In their heart the thought that the Lord was the alone God. What we think about God Is revealed In our lives. The law to which obedience was to be rendered was that-set forth In the Ten Commandments, as record ed In Exodus 2:1-17. 1. The first emphasizes the unity of God and enjoins the obligation of single-hearted worship and service (v. 3). 2. The second is directed against the worship of the true God under false forms. 3. The third is directed against the taking of God's name In vain; that Is, in a lying, deceptive, unreal way. 4. The fourth enjoins work on six days and forbids work on the seventh. 5. The fifth rests upon the fact that parents stand to their children in the place of God—therefore enjoins obedience to them. 6. The sixth shows the sanctity of human life and that the one who mur ders has sinned against God, for man was created In the likeness and image of God. 7. The seventh Is the bulwark thrown around the home. This com mandment may be broken by unclean thoughts and affections as well as by outward acts. 8. The eighth strikes at the sin of theft. 9. The ninth strikes at the sin of lying. 10. The tenth strikes at the desire for that which is unlawful to own.
