SILAGE REDUCES BEEF COST

Made at Missouri College of

A Ktwr-ftHMllne test recently com
plftoil at the Missouri College of Agri
culture Illustrates the possibility of re
ducing the cost of beef production by
the extensive use of corn ullage, ax
teen head of two-year-old (teen fed
for 130 days made an average gain In
live weight of 822 pound* per head.
They were fed 3.16 torn of corn silage,
750 pounds of alfalfa hay, and 603
pounds of cotton-seed meal and old
graces* linseed oil meal per steer.
They received no corn other than that
contained In the silage. Jly this meth
od of feeding a fairly satisfactory
grade of beef can be produced, and It
Is possible to fatten three steers on an
acre of good corn Instead of one,
which was usual under former meth

Why Not Make
Some Gifts
This Christmas?
SOME philosopher or other (aid long
ago that we do not appreciate
that which we do not work hard
to obtain and that we love more the
people whom we do for than we love
the people who do most for us.
If your best friend motors mtfke her
a cap, a la sunbonnet, out of some dur
able silky material that matches her
motor coat Btlffen the visor with
buckram, line It with plaid Bilk and
use the rest of this for a building that
ties carelessly In front
Smoking jackets, suspenders, bath
mules, necktie and collar cases for
travelers, knitted golf gloves, throat
mufflers and tooled leather picture
frames are some of the gifts you can
make for the men in your family.
Nothing "boughten" could compare
with the joy furnished a youngster by
these toys that daddy made himself.
Pine or sweet gum wood are easily
manipulated, and the delight enters
with the gay enamel paint that daddy
B ' MifW
so skillfully applies to the elephanfs
howdah, the parrot's wings and the
sailor boy's middy.
Mother may like something new and
attractive In the form of luncheon nap
kins made of one and a half yards of
white linen (a good quality comes at 78
cents a yard) cut Into six squares and
bordered with a plcot Irish edge after
merely rolling the edges.
Or she may prefer a theater bag
made of brocade velvet la any of the
new colore and lined with a soft silk in
contrasting color. They are made with
a pocket In the bottom, either oblong
or round, and the top has a casing
through which gold ribbon is drawn.
Now that patriotism runs high make
hubby a red, white and blue pillow for
his morris chair. The cot suggests the
embroidery done on a background of
linen crash.
A quickly made gift for a little girl
and one which serves to teach her a
lesson of neatness Is a set of ribbon
rolls for her hair ribbons. Small paste
board cylinders, such as are used for
ipalllng purposes, are first covered with
cotton wadding and sachet powder and
then with silk or satin. The material
may be plain or flowered, but must be
of a quality not to "run."
For the friend who boards a glass of
homemade Jelly or orange marmalade
would be useful as well as ornamental.
Apple Jelly and orange marmalade can
be made at the holiday season as well
as In the summer, and then one can
truthfull" say on the little, card of
greeting that It was made expressly
for the friend to whom it Is sent.
AN OLD MAN'S STOMACH.
As we ({row older and less active
less and less food is requireJ to
meet the deands of our bodies. If
too much is habitually takes the
stomach will rebel. When a man
reaches the advanced age of 83 or
90, you will find that he is a lifh;
eater. Be as careful as yoJ will,
however, you will occasionally eat
more than yoii should and will foel
the ne«d o'f Chamberlain's Tablets
to correct the disorder. Thest
tablets do not contain pepsin, out
strengthen the stomach and ena
ble it to perform its functions nat
urally. They also cause a gen

4 What ShaM;
I Give My
Friends?"
CHRISTMAS comes on apace, and
the usual question confronts ev
ery woman, "What sbpll I give
my friends this year}" If the outlay
cannot be very much then It Is a good
Idea to make some useful article to
serve.
Purchase enough white georgette
crepe to make" a collar and cuff set.
Perhaps the collar con follow the out
line of a coat difficult to fit with a
ready-made collar of white, or a dainty
shape may be designed for use with a
ElyV*
fancy waist. The point Is to keep the
edges straight rather than rounding,
for we will have the border machine
hemstitched, or the edge can be stltclw
ed or hemstitched with fine white silk
and finished with tiny embroidered
dots of white silk or French knot* of •
faintly contrasting color.
Or make sister a fetching breakfast
jacket of georgette crepe, voile or dim
ity. Close it on the left side, hand em
broider the front and gird It with her
favorite shade of satin ribbon.
Candle shade patterns may be stamp
ed In a grape design, which could be

effectively carried out in cut work, and
another design is of an iris pattern.
The shade pictured Is more conven
tional, being Intended for an electric
candle. Fluted paper is neatly pasted
together the desired size nnd decorated
with gold or sliver gimp.
Toddlers and babies always need
new dresses. Try the pattern illustrat
ed in either chambray or linen and
■mock the front In any harmonizing
color or a contrast.
A doaen or so of homemade cruller*
wrapped separately In oiled paper and
parked In a dainty basket such as can
be purchased for from 10 to 25 cents
should be an acceptable gift for some
man friend who lives In a hotel. For a
bachelor friend a gift of atmllar nature
Is a homemade cake done up In white
paper and placed In a holly trimmed
box. Most men have a secret sweet
tooth, and Christmas seems to be the
time to have it filled.
Men as a rule do not like to receive
wearing apparel as gifts, especially
sock?, bet embroider a man's mono
gram on the said socks and you will
