HINTS FOR FALL WORK IN THE GARDENS If the Cabbagei Are Slow About Heading or the Heads Lack Firmness, Sprinkle With Salt and Water. If tho gnrden has been thoroughly cultivated early In tho season, there Is little weeding to bo done. Yet, a few autumn weeds will strive for suprem acy unless conquered. Ono of tho most persistent now, as earlier, Is tho chlckweed, which grows in such denBO masses as to choko out everything else. Keep It cleaned out. If thrown Into a pile It will be decomposed In a few weeks Into a light soil, rich In humus. If an early frost catches the beanB before they aro quite ripe, shell, scald, and dry, and they will keep during tho winter. An old blanket, papers or straw used In protecting tho tomatoes from the first frost may prolong them through weeks of good weather yet to follow. If tho cabbages are slow about head ing, or the heads lack firmness sprin kle with salt and water. This will also tend to keep tho worms down If a few cucumbers get too largo for ordinary use before you discover them, pare, slice in cross sections an inch thick, soak In salt water a few hours, and mako into sweet pickles. They are delicious. A fow rows of strawberries along tho edge of tho garden will not re quire much extra Inbor, and they will udd greatly to tho luxuries of farm life. One man, who tried tho experi ment of seven rows lnst year, reports seven bushels of berries this season. Because you have plenty of land do not think It Is of no value. Have you used your garden to the utmost ca pacity? Intensive gardening has al ready come whore there Is most profit in tho occupation. If you havo not ap plied this principle, see how you can get more out of tho ground next year, i Dandelions aro coming into general I use In America for salad greens. Tho flavor Is greatly Improved by blanch-' DEPTH OF THE TILE DRAINS Type of Soil and Fall of Land Must Be Taken Into Consideration Before Starting Work. (Dy n. G. WEATIinRSTONr: ) In putting In a system of tile drain age we must consider the typo of tho soil to bo drained as well as tho fall of tho land before wo decide upon tho sizo of tho tile and tho depth it Is to bo placed. On a coarso soil, whero tho object of tho drainage system Is to remove tho soil water from around tho roots of tho plants, the tile should be laid threo or four feet deep, but on a clay soil, I believe that tho tllo should bo laid as shallow as Is consistent with tho climatic conditions and tho fall of tho land. On clay soils the chief object of tilo drainage Is to remove tho surfaco water as iapidly as possible after (heavy rains before it ruins tho grow ing crops. To do this It must have an easy access to tho tllo and for this reason they should not be put down moro Uian two or two and a half foet deep. On a clay soil it requires longer frv the tilo drainage system to become efficient after it I1? installed, because It takes longer for tho watercourses to form through tho cracks, decayed root passages and animal burrows, henco wo will secure better Imme diate results from a shallow system of drainage than when the tllo aro placed deep. It has required a number of years for some of the s stems of drainage to becomo efficient In clay soils and few farmers can afford to wait a number of years for results. On ono of our farms tho tllo drains svero Installed 20 years ago and aro doing far better work today than they Jld the first ten years they were put n. Theso drains wero put In from ,hree to four feet deep nnd for tho first few years they did very poor service. Understand the Silo. Before any man builds a silo or uses ono that sonio ono elso has built ho should secure tho numerous bul letins nvallablo and read up Silos aro slmplo enough, but they must bo understood. Have Vaseline Handy. Keep a can of vnsellno handy about tho milking placo. Dip tho flngors in this and thus soften tho teals and prevent cracking. ing tho leaves. To do this, placo an Inverted flower pot over each plant for awhllo before tho leaves are gath ered. This salad Is greatly enjoyed In Europe Before applying liquid manuro to plants tho soil should bo moistened by watering with clear water, unless tho soil Is nlready moist Apply tho liquid manuro to the soil without sprinkling it over tho plants Where manuro Is available, a spade ful or moro tied up In coarse sacking, suspended In a tub of water affords a good way to mako tho liquid. After strawberry plants havo borno tho second season's crop remove them and plant somo other crop on this land. Set out a now bed of strawbor rles from tho runners from tho old vines on n.iother new piece of ground. Holland bulbs now aro exported all over tho world and If tho demand con tlnues to Increase either prices will likely advance or now territory will have to bo found to propagato them Viola cornuta purpurea somewhat re sembles tho slnglo blue violet, produc ing flowers freely on long, slendei stems, making them dcslrablo for cut ting. The culture Is tho same as that given pansies. Autumn bulb planting will soon bo hero; make an early selection of tho ones you want, thus securing tho best specimens. Planting is not to be don,o until tho lato frosts, when tho beds now In uso will bo unoccupied nnd ready for tho bulbs. Beds planted this autumn will begin flowering almost before tho snow disappears in tho spring This is a good time to thor oughly clean tho greenhouse, to put In new glass where needed, roputty and paint tho roof, and look out for leaks. Plant sweet peas in tho open ground next November nnd thus secure an early crop of flowers next year. ACCIDENTS MAY BE AVOIDED Three Simple Rules to Observe In Us ing Silo Filling Machinery for the First Time. By observing threo slmplo rules, tho farmer who is using silo filling machinery for tho first tlmo may avoid somo of tho accidents which oc casionally damage new machines bo yond repair. Hero arc tho things that, accord ing to W E. Markoy, Wisconsin uni versity agricultural experiment sta tion, tho Inexperienced man should do: 1. Bo sure that tho machine is be ing run nt tho proper speed. 2. Take caro that corn Is never put Into tho machine until tho motion is up to full speed. 3. In stopping bo careful not to shut off tho power until tho elevator Is empty. If tho elevator Is not empty tho cut material will fall back and lodge In tho fans. Then when the mnchlno is started again, tho cut corn Jams tho fans n.id aB a result thoy are bent or broken INOCULATE ALFALFA FIELDS Soil May Be Taken From Field to Depth of Four to Six Inches Avoid Exposing to Light Alfalfa fields may be Inoculated with soil taken to a depth of from four to six inches fiom an nlfalfa or sweet clover field whore tho plants aro known to bo Inoculated, at tho rate of about two hundred pounds per acre. It Is well to avoid exposing tho boll to tho sunlight for nny consider able length of time. Part of this soil may bo sifted and from ten to twenty pounds mixed thoroughly with tho seed for each aero. Tho seed should bo slightly molB toned before mixing and tho mixture shoveled over frequently until dry enough to sow. Tho flno soil particles and tho bactorla cling to tho seeds nnd aro ready to begin work no soon as tho plants start growth. Tho re maining soil mny bo scattered broad cast at seeding tlmo und hnrrowe'd In Immediately Corn Crop In the Silo. The feed cutter should ho In uso on every farm, tho corn-hhruddor Is an ex cellent thing, but why not put all ot tho corn crop in a silo no tho best probablo position to got ivci-v pountf of valuo out of It GRADING OF COUNTRY ROADS Great Care Should Do Exercised In Se lection of Material for Bridges and Culverts. Ono of tho most serious wastes In connection with our highway building Is the necessity which Is often met with of destroying miles of gravel or Btono road-bed, hardened and cement ed by years of travel, but which Is found to bo out of lino or ojt of lovel with tho requirements of tho highway as determined by tho best englnoorlng practice. When such a road Is too high It must bo excavated, at a cost consider ably in excess of that of ordinary soil or gravel, and when too low, It Is cov ered by tho now material, with a total loss of tho original investment, writes B. O Mnrshall In 1'rogresslvo Farmer. The labor expended upon roads that have followed tho lines ot least resistance, after tho manner of "Tho Path tho Calf Mado," may bo found, when theso are relocated according to modern methods, to offer but slight assistance In the ostabllBhmont of the permanent hlghwny; but whore they aro tho ordluary dirt or clay trails of many districts wo may con solo ourselves with tho fact that thoy never represented nny very heavy In vestment. Tho lnmontnblo thing Ib tho laying of what should bo perma nent construction under strictly tem porary condltionB tho building of tho houso upon tho sand. Even In tho counties whero tho population and tho amount of tnxablo property aro very smnll In proportion to tho road mllenge, It should bo tho practlco to mako any extenslvo Im provements or alterations only aftor securing tho advice of n competent highway engineer. Tho temporary employment of such an otllclal is qulto practicable; and tho returns will bo mnny hundred por cent on tho out lay. Tho loss on bridges and culverts In a relocated and graded road is gen erally heavy. Most constructions, oven If found In fairly good condition, aro totally destroyed by removal. An exception Is tho corrugated Iron pipe. When mado from high purity Iron, theso culverts aro but slightly affect ed by rust, and can thus bo rightfully classed aB permanent Improvements, but thoy aro nlso Ideal for a tempo rary location, "aB thoy suffer no dam age In being dug out nnd rolnld. Brick, stone or concreto should only bo employed whero tho location Is fixed for all time, and whoro nlso an absolutely rigid foundation can bo as surod. In America, wo do a vast deal of work which has to bo undone a fow ears later. Wo want results, and want them quick; as a nation wo havo tho energy nnd folly of youth. It Is highly Interesting to note tho vast amount of labor on tho farm, tho highway and In tho stores and factories which has to bo performed as a result of earlier errors and mis calculations. Wo build barns ami silos and establish a milk routo; urn,' two years later decldo that our cir cumstances' or our Inclinations aro better adapted to fruit raising; nnd an expensive dairy plant becomes ldlo and useless. The storekeeper stocks up on a lino that his customers don't want nnd can't uso nnd tho goods encumber tho shelves until thoy aro sold nt a sacrflce. Tho manufac turer buys machinery nnd employs experts to effect a minor Improve ment in his product, and tho next year finds the nrtlclo displaced in tho market by somo totally different and superior dovlco. In Bovernl directlonB, however, Indications may bo observed of tho rule of a maturer Judgment. Wo aro learning to consorvo still moro niunblo things tlinn lumber nnd wa ter power. Tho wasto of tlmo nnd of labor Is beginning to bo understood as sacrifice of humnn life. Transporting Farm Products. If tho roads from tho farm to tho place of marketing wero good It would moan better prices for tho farmer and cheaper food for the city consumer. If tho fnrmer has a solid road with a rea Bonablo grado ho greatly prefers to draw his products to tho city personal ly and soil them from his wagon. Register Tractive Force. A dynamometer mounted on nn or dinary dray is used by tho United States department of agrlculturo to register tho tractlvo force requlrod to draw various weights oor difforent kinds of roadways. Betterment of Children. Let us havo bettor roads and schools and better neighborhood co-oporation, in order that our children, in their day, may faro better than wo have done. Why Not More of Them? Oood roadH lessen tho distnnco to town and choapen tho cost of market ing. Why not moro of thorn? Should Think Again, Tho man who thinks bad toads x uecMBlty slu.uld think again.

'a. -sk:aw - ""s?5BS3&x ' jsnr THE most otriklng colffuro which made Its nppearauco in mldsummcf showed tho hair brushed back from the fnco, without curl or wavo, and tho forehead entirely uncovered. Where tho hair is naturally wavy nnd the forehead well shaped this stylo was possible. But, ovon so, only youthful wearers could carry It off; It proved generally unbecoming. Theroforo tho now ofMho-fuco coiffures aro waved and tho hnlr brought down over tho forehead for n llttlo way, when such nn arrangement Is found to suit tho style of tho wearer. Tho hair is most conveniently dressed In those new styles by parting off a portion of It all around tho bend and waving It. This leaves tho back hair to bo combed up to tho crown and colled Into a support for tho end of tho waved portion. A very small and rather flat hair roll placed around tho head boforo the waved hair Is combed Millinery That 1 THE three hats which graco this page aro entitled to be called faultless millinery.
