In our issue of Sept. 4th we
made appeal to 775 of our sub-
scribers who were in arrears at
that time.
Since then 94 have respond-
ed, and to them we make grate-
ful acknowledgment of their
promptness in coming to relief of
the financial strain we are under.
We are still hoping that the
remaining 681 are not going to
fail us.

—Scrub bulls are a prolific source
of scrub cows. Weed out scrub

it is possible for him to improve
the working ability of the herd. If
he cannot measure up to that stand-

—In producing quality eggs it
helps to provide one nest for every
4 to 5 laying birds. Locate the
nests as far as possible from water

—A noticeable decline in the prev-
alence of sheep scab, a parasitic
disease especially troublesome in
range flocks, is reported by the
bureau of animal industry. During
the last fiscal year the number of
scabby sheep found by federal in-
spectors was approximately 15 per
cent
year. The inspectors, working in
co-operation with state officials,
made inspections of approximately
25,000,000 sheep and supervised the
dipping of more than 4,000,000.
—A one-pound square of honey
nominally sells for 25 cents. Bees
fly between 50,000 and 75000 miles
to gather that amount, according to
Dr. William C. Wilson, on whose
three farms 6,000,000 bees dwell.
Other interesting facts revealed
by Wilson:
The best honey is obtained when
bees have to fly from one-half to
one mile for the nectar.
A queen bee “at her best” lays
from 1,800 to 2,400 eggs a day.
The eggs she deposits in 24 hours
‘weigh more than she does.
A bee often will fiy from six to
eight miles for one drop of nectar.
A bee will sting to protect her
home “but it's hard to pick a scrap
when she is away.”
—There are few classes of live
stock that can pay returns for pur-
chased feeds. This is particularly
true if the purchased feeds are
roughages or feeds that can be
readily grown in the community.
The late summer months reveal the
probable supplies of feed for the
coming winter. A little thought
may indicate ways in which ade-
quate supplies of rough feeds can
be assured for all classes of live
stock that are to be wintered.
—Smothering out a patch of Can-
ada thistles by the use of straw
piled over them to the depth ot
three or four feet is the most suc-
cessful method we have found in
fizhting this much born weed, says
‘a writer in the Ohio Farmer.
Previous to the use of the straw
method, we had tried varions means
to kill the thistles. But in spite of
such methods as cutting them off
above the ground, at the surface of
the ground, and even grubbing out
part of the underground stems, the
patch persisted in spreading.
A year ago last August we were
confronted with the problem of do-
ing something with an old straw-
pile. After some consideration we
decided to haul it out on to this
patch of thistles. Here it lay all
winter and until plowing time in the
spring when it was scattered around
and plowed under. Only a few
thistles, weak specimens of their
kind, survived and attempted to
w after this course of treatment
and a minute's work with the hoe
completely put the patch out of
business. We haven't been trou-
bled with this patch of Canada
thistles since.
—Work horses can be comfortably
wintered in a shed that is well-bed-
ed and dry, with access to good
quality forage much more cheaply
than when stabled and fed grain,
according to M. W. Harper, New
York State college.
Remove the horses’ shoes when
turned out for winter to prevent in-
jury in playing or fighting, Harper
warns. Inspect the feet weekly to
see they are in good condition. Cor-
rect all irregularities with a rasp to
prevent long hoofs throwing the
feet and pasterns out of shape and
making the horse unsound.
Since horses eat mostly roughage,
their teeth will need attention, occa-
sionally. The upper and lower
teeth do not mesh exactly and sharp
edges are often left on the inside of
the lower molars and the outside of
the upper molars. If the teeth re-
main uncared for they will make
the mouths sore and animals will go
lout of condition. Sharp edges
should be rasped down with a
guarded rasp.

Instead of worrying about be-
ing the most smartly dressed girl at
the ball, Washington debutantes are
wrinkling their brows over quite an-
other problem. One of the most
fashionable dances of the season ip
Washington is to be the “tacky
party,” an entertainment organized
last year by some of the debutantes,
which has proved so popular that
they are giving one again this year.
Regardless of all the fancy balls
she may be invited to, the Washing-
ton bud feels considerably ‘out of
things’ if she is not included on the
invitation list of this dance to which
she must wear her most disrepu-
table frock.
Prizes will be given to the out-
fits that are most in keeping with
the spirit of the occasion.

--“A woman's beauty reaches its
most triumphant stage at 40.”
Miss Barbara Gould, well-known
beauty advisor, believes that at this
age, with years of experience behind {i}
her, a woman has poise, charm and J}
actual loveliness. mn
“The teens and twenties are glow-
ing years—the thirties are a warn-
ing stage—and at 40 womanly
beauty emerges triumphant,” says
Miss Gould.
The modern trend toward feminine
furbelows has created a need for
more femininely alluring make-up,
more natural blending of colors, is
Miss Gould's opinion. “Men like to
think that the loveliness of their
wives and sweethearts is natural,
and not taken out of a little box.”
And it's stylish to have curves.
But that doesn't mean a woman can
eat all the rich sweets she wants.
Quite the contrary. Miss Gould is
a firm believer in regular health
habits as beauty aides, and among
them is a fairly simple diet.
“Exclude everything you really
want to eat and you'll be all right.”
Strenuous exercises, such as swim-
ming and horseback riding, as well
as eight hours sleep each night, are
inducements to beauty. Miss Gould
also believes that right thinking
makes for loveliness of the eyes and
mouth.
European women know much less
about the care of the skin than
American women, but they are more
adept at make-up, however, Miss
Gould thinks. In the teens the
skin needs only cleansing; in the
twenties, protection, and in the thir-
ties and beyond, nourishment. Euro-
pean women have not learned those
rules, says this beauty expert.
