Three Fine Magazines for 35c
Extra, in Connection with
the Commercial,
Not wishing to handle the
cheap, trashy magazines, of*
ten filled with questionable
stories and advertisements un-
fit for home and children’s
reading, we have made con-
tract by which our subscrib-
ers can obtain splendid read-
ing matter for a mere nominal
price when combined with the
Commercial, their favorite
county paper, which is a lead-
er in quality and circulation.
We are planning to make it
THE leader.
For $1.85 per year, only
85¢ added to the $1.50 price of
the Commercial, we will send
the following with our paper:.
The National Stockman and
Farmer, the world’s Greatest
Farm Paper. Note that this is
a weekly farm paper — not
monthly, as most others. The
advance subscription price of
this paper alone is $1.00 per year and you could not
obtain it for less from the publishers. ;
The Woman’s World, a fine home paper, is the
second on our list, and Kimball’s Dairy Farmer is the
last of our combination offer which we have never
seen equaled for real value.
Don’t forget that you will each week get the
finest farm paper published. Also a monthly woman’s
magazine and a dairy paper, besides the Commercial—
all for $1.85. :

piece, muff and hat, or a neckpiece,
bag and hat, constitute the usual set
of three pieces. Sometimes a four-
piece set includes all the accessories
mentioned, but as a rule only three
are made to correspond.
These matched sets employ fur, vel-
vet, brocades, silk and fur-cloths (or
plush) in their construction, and are
embellished with passementerie beads,
silk and millinery flowers and fruits.
Furs are combined 'with fabrics, or
two kinds of fur may be made up to-
gether. Fur and velvet is a rich and
popular association of material. Satin
and fur-cloth is inxpensive and as
beautiful as the more costly furs.
Velvet alone and velvet embellished
with passementerie stands between
the costlier furs and less costly
plushes in point of price and are less
{ durable than either, but utterly fem-
inine and elegant.
A set of two furs combined in neck-
piece and muff, worn with ;a small

lined with plain brown satin.
The turban needs a border of fitch
fur at the top of the velvet band, or
a group of small animal heads of
fitch or some other decorative touch
of the fur, to match it up with the
other pieces.
A velvet set in black is shown, with
the velvet fulled on the barrel-shaped
muff. Passementerie beads, tassels and
buckle make a novel trimming.
plush is used in the body
pieces and fur in the decoration.

any rate, they are a coming possibil
ity. A circular that has already made
its appearance is made of white taf-
feta. It is fitted at the hips and falls
in wide ripples at the ankles.
Drecoll’s Lace Gown.
In America there is little doubt that
Drecoll’s black lace gowns over satin
will find much favor. He also brings
out the inevitable suit of baby lamb;
Paris is never able to get through the
season without one such costume of
furs. The muff is barrel shaped with

A Few Good Kitchen Aprons
HE up-to-date kitchen apron is by
no means an ungraceful garment,
and much ingenuity is evident in de-
signing it to meet all the require-
ments of housework and good looks
at the same time. The new pat-
terns, that cover the entire figure,
look better and are far more practical
| than the aprons set on to a band, that
| preceded them. It is just about as
| easy to make aprons that protect the
{ whole dress, cover the sleeves and
| stay in place, as to make those gath-
ered to a band, and it is quite as easy
to do them up.
Gingham, calico and percale are
used, cut by plain kimono-sleeved pat-
terns like that shown in the picture
given here. Indigo blue and white,
or black and white, are selected for
permanency in color. Any number of
patterns in figures and checks and
stripes give one a wide choice in
design.
Aprons made of these good substan-

well. The red will not fade in the
least with any amount of washing,
and is therefore liked better than any
other solid color. The apron pictured
is an example of the use of this red
binding on a medium large shepherd’s
check. The neck, sleeves, pocket and
edges are bound with it. It brightens
up the otherwise ordinary pattern and
makes it really attractive.
Some aprons are made of the heav-
ier cotton crepe in gray and finished
with borders in solid colors or fig-
ures. These usually fasten in front
and look very much like home dresses.
They are not closed below the waist
line and are easily slipped on and off.
The front of the dress under them is
protected because, in these patterns,
the fronts overlap.
The new aprons are, in fact, so
like house dresses that they may be
worn instead of a dress. But they are
made with ample sleeves, round necks
and ‘simple fastenings, so that they
tial cotton fabrics having a white
ground with black stripes are great |
favorites for ‘‘cook-aprons.” Shep- |
herd’s checks and polka dots figure
among these also. For sweeping and
dusting the indigo blue cottons with
small white dots for figures are made
up with caps to match and are better
than the more readily soiled cottons
with white ground fer these purposes. |
Tirkey-red cotton fabrics are used |
for making bindings on the shepherd’s i
checks more particularly but are
liked on the dark blue aprons as |
slip on over a dress easily. Sleeves
are short and out of the way. Alto-
gether, well chosen kitchen or work
aprons may be said to be attractive
in themselves. Certainly the neat
housewife knows how to look very
“fetching” in them.

TRUE VALUE OF WOOD LOT NOT REALIZED |
1
j
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
Most farmers already own wood
lots; every farmer ought.to own one.
Yet the wood lot is frequently not a
paying proposition financially, and is
almost never as profitable as it should
be. Why? Simply because the farm-
er does not realize its true value. As
a result he neglects to care for the
trees during their life, and is at a dis-
advantage when it .comes to selling
them. Any effort to improve present
| conditions must, therefore, take these
{ two facts into consideration.
The essential point for every farm-
er to recognize, is that the trees in
his wood lot are just as much a farm
crop as are his corn, oats, hay, or oth-
er products. Moreover, they have
many advantages over other crops—
they require comparatively little care
and labor; they can be harvested dur-
ing the winter when other work is
slack; there are no storage charges
on the crop because trees can be left
standing without deterioration an in-
definite time until they can be sold
profitably or used to advantage on the
farms; and they furnish protection to
buildings, to cattle, and to crops, from
wind, drought and frost.
Unquestionably, then, the wood lot
deserves better than the present neg-
lect, or often worse, to which it is
: now subjected. No farmer would think
for a moment of burning over a Crop
i of young wheat. Yet that is just what
many do with their crop of young
trees. Nor is the damage confined to
the young growth; even the larger
trees, though seldom destroyed out-
i right, are weakened so that eventually
{ they will fall a prey to insects, fungi,
or wind; furthermore, the fertility of
the soil is greatly lessened by fires.
Every fire that runs through a wood
lot is a direct source of loss to the
(owner. The absolute exclusion of fire
| is, therefore, the first and most im-
! portant step in the rational manage-
ment of the wood lot.
Closely connected with this is the
exclusion of stock, which do much
damage in destroying and retarding
young growth, particularly of broad-
leaf trees, and in packing down the
soil and exposing the roots of trees.
Finally, the farmer should select the
trees to be cut in such a way as to
improve rather than impair the wood
lot. Too often the reverse has been
the case and the wood lot has de-
teriorated steadily through the re-
moval of the best trees, leaving the
less valuable species and poorer indi-
viduals to take possession of the
ground. No knowledge of technical
forestry is necessary to enable the
farmer to recognize the trees which
are defective, crooked, unusually
branchy, or of undesirable species; or
to realize that the cutting of these
for fuel ard other uses to which they

the Stand.
can be put on the farm will greatly in-
crease the /value of the remaining
stand.
Equally important with the raising
of the crop is its final disposal. Every
farmer knows what his wheat is worth
and what is the best way to sell it.
Very few have any similar knowledge
regarding their trees. In that fact lies
the real explanation of the present un-
profitableness of the wood lot. So
long as the average owner knows less
concerning the value of the timber
than any other crop on his farm, he
cannot hope to sell it at its true value.
What kinds of produgts (posts, poles,
ties, mine timbers, lumber, etec.), are
in greatest demand in the locality ?
What species of trees are best adapted
for each? In what sizes should the
material be cut? By what unit of
measure (cord, lineal foot, board foot,
piece, etc.) should they be sold? What
price should they bring on the basis
of their value to the purchaser?
These are samples of the questions
that every farmer should be able to
answer to his own satisfaction before
attempting to dispose of his wood lot
products. Even then he may be at
a disadvantage when dealing singly
with a purchaser who is more expe-
rienced in such matters and may have
more or less control over the local
market. Co-operation among wood lot
owners in the disposal of their timber
is consequently as necessary as in the
disposal of their fruit, vegetables, or
grains, and is frequently the only way
in which they can secure its full value.
Above all, the secret of success in
handling the wood lot, lies in the reec-
ognition of the fact that trees are a
distinctive farm crop. When this is
once thoroughly understood and the
same attention is paid to their produe-
tion and marketing as to other Crops,
the wood lot may confidently be ex-
pected to become one of the most
profitable portions of the farm.
Roots for Feed.
Roots are excellent feed for dairy
cows and are especially desirable for
the fall and early winter, as they are
palatable, easy to digest and stimulate
the flow of milk. Less grain is re-
quired while roots are being fed. The
change from roots to more grain
should be made gradually, adding
grain at the rate of one pound for ten
pounds of roots withdrawn.
ee
Build a Strong Fence.
It takes time and some money to
build a good fence, but it costs quite
as much of both to rebuild a rundown
one. One of the most important parts
of a fence, above all others, is the
quality and setting of corner and
gate posts. On the corner posts de-
pends the stability of the fence, and
time and expcnse should not be
spared in setting them firmly.
