TENSTRIKE x P e R PR S P R R SRR Last Thursday evening Mrs. James G. Rice and Mrs. P. E. Mattison en- tertained at a. five hundred caxd par- ty. Cards. were played at four tables. Evyery one present had a most delight- ful fime. Mr: Eli- Ritchie won first prize’ while Paul Haluptzofl brought up the rear squad-'witn. the 'foot prize. After. the card ‘party a most delicious lunch wasserved. This new five: hundred ‘club’ expects to give card parties at various homes during the winter months. ¥ Last Saturday the entire communi- ty was surprised’ when the news flashed throughout the = community that W, Lorn Taylor, son of Mr, and Mrs, James Taylor, was to take unto himsélf a wife. Lérn Taylor and Miss Mary Grace were married at the Epis- copal ‘church in Bemidji at 3 p. m. A ‘dance was given in the Community Commiercial hall in the evening at whickwedding cigars.and apples were passed. to_the guests. Al very large crowd took pazt in the'charivari, The wedding has quite a romance ¢iduality, Then again they |t somfe ':ngr ;n the family, get a sample of it. Then trace the ’{nttem and carefully match the colors, to use for decoration of he table mats. When your friend discovers that the. set nLatc_hes her hangings she ‘Wil be dou ly ‘pleased witn your thoughtful gift. Among the needlework gifts wom- en love to make for each other are aumbrs of dainty trifies. For those of more practical turn of mind gifts of lasting qualities can be fashioned. These latter are. especially exem- plified in the quaint “kitchenette” aprons with caps to match. Sets can be found all stamped on unbleached muslin, reaily to work, at some of tl_\e stores. But where these are not avail- able, & clever woman can make her own designs with materials at hand. One of the aprons had gocketa of “brown-édyed susans.” The petals were of yellow percale appliqued about brown centers. On’itheicap another “susan’’ “appeared. Still another had blue tea cups for pockets. Another apron “and flower pots of blue and white ‘checked gingham, Above the pots, on the apron itself grew stiff little 'round flowers appliqued with embroidered: stems. Om eagh cap for each apron was a matehing design.” Among the dainty trifles to be given each its measure of handwork, are colored handkerchiefs. -How very, very sweet they look, two of them, each a different. color folded in a little box, “One for blow, one for show” seems to be_the motto, for a plain one- associatés’ itself with. a very frilly, filmy one side by: side. Most of the plainer omes, some- times cqlored, sometimes white, have drawn_threads of colors for decora- tion. Tiny embroidered flowers are often added in fascinating groups. Frilly “hankies’ are new this season being edged with net. Colored ones are edged with white, and then again with contrasting colors,. Wee spots of colored embroidery are added. A pretty camisole of wide lace.in- sertion_and ribbon can be. quickly made. Wide ‘pale pink ribbon forms the lower half with a narrow casing for elastic. ‘The upper, half is inser- |,tion, with an-edging-of lace and a attached to it, similar to the romance a person reads about in fairy tales. The correspondent joins with the rest of the community in wishing the young miarried couple a happy mar- ried life and success. During the dancing intervals at the hall, James. Taylor sang his favorite songs, “Down Where the Water Lilies] Grow” and “My Little Sarah.” Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor alsq danced for the large audience.. A wedding supper was served at the Davis hotel to eight. Miss Amelia Hofer acted as bridesmaid while Mr. Berger Ander- son was best man. Mr. and Mrs. James Taylor and Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Taylor entertained Mr. and Mrs. F. X. Betz Saturday evening after the wedding dance. . Bepjamin Carter, Jr, and Roy Travis motored to Bemidji Tuesday. That is they motored part of the way and walked the rest, as they had a blowout this side of Bémidji. Mrs. W. L. Taylor left Monday af- ternoon for Minot, N. D., where she will visit with her relatives. James G. Rice and W. A. Rice PRACTICAL HELPS "FOR DAIRYMEN (Prepared by County Agent D. C. Dvoracek) DAIRY FEEDING A dpiry cow may well be considere __a‘mill-producing machine whose duty it is‘/to. transform feed 'into milk. Just ‘s some machines: are not effi- cient ‘or econdmical’ in performing their-work so do cows vary: as.to their ability to produce milk efliciently and econémically i. e. some cows will pro- duce;more milk of a certain fat con- tent from a given amount of feed than will others. But nio-eow, no mat- ter what,her ability can do her best without proper feed in sufficient quan- tities,” and comfortable quarters. Therefore” feeding is an important factor in milk production, and many & cow that is not paying for her keep, but i§' a boarder, might pay a fair profit.'if ‘proper_ attention was given to her {food and care. In'spite of the fact that butterfat i5 chemper than a -year ago, its pro- duction is'more profitable on account of the' chedper feeds and labor as the following flgures submitted by W. G. Sc¢hraeder show. = A herd of thirty cows should pro- duce 1,000 pounds of 4 per cent milk o1 40-pounds of butterfat daily. Cost in AN 1920 1921 500 pounds bran’ and shorts «.$15.00 $ 5.00 600 pé)\mds ha; 6.00 3.00 600 pounds silage 4.00 3.50 Labor, “three “men’. 7.00 3.50 Total ‘daily cost...... $32.00 $14.00 40:pounds: butterflat $22.00 $16.80 Daily oss in 1920 $10.00 Profit’in 1921 $2.80 i While these figures are only ap- proximate, they show a daily profit of $2.80 for 1921 and a daily loss of $10 £or;1920; indicating that a farm- mer cmf‘ ‘afford to feed his cows better this' ygar’ than last. Another point worthy ofconsideration is that a dairy cow offers more hours ‘of profitable d employment to the farmer than any other enterprise on the farm, espe- cially this winter when dairy products and poultry are the only farm markets ‘flnd‘mg a ready market. It, therefore, {behooveg the farmer to give his pro- diicing cows the best' feed and care possible, FEED NUTRIENTS 7 Much could be said about the three nutrients fould in feed—protein, carbohydrates or starch and sugar, and fats—their soyrces, which feeds are rich in each, their uses in the vari- ous classes of anipal bodies. Protein, found most abundantly.-in clovers, alfalfa and all legumes of our farm crops, is the most important because it is the most expensive and most fre- quently lepking in rations or dnflx feeds. Oats and ‘bran are also ric in protein, Corn and barley are rich in starch’iand: oil. Ongipound of oil is equal td two and a quarter pounds of starch. . Each nutrient has a definite use in animal bodies, Young growing ani- mals of all classes require more pro- tein’ than old, mature ones, because protein is used in making bone, nus- cle, hide, hair, hoof and horn. Old animals need only ‘enough protein to replace worn-out or cast-off tissue. All females carrying young need a liberal supply of protein. Dairy cows need more’ protein than beef cows as the protein enters into. the manufacture of milk, and. is essential, Starch and fat supply the fuel that gives the body ‘eriergy or ability to work, and incidentally keeps the body warm. They make fat, as deposited on the body of beefcattle, and lard hogs, or ‘delivered ' as butterfat in|, milk, While protein has the same fuel value @y starch ‘and can replace starch pound for pound, it is an expendive substitutevw«Stareh- cannot {replace protein, £ narrow beading for the ribbon draw strings. Shoulder straps can be rib- bon or insertion. 9 For those who enjoy doing drawn work there are several varieties of collars and cuffs, on which to bestow one’s dainty stitches, for the pur- pose of making very acceptable gifts. One set of _collars and cuffs was hemstitched with “an inch hem of canary, yellow linen. A.nother.. was vety simple and smart with a single line of drawn work inside the hem, and a narrow edging of filet. _Embroidered dots’ make clever trimmings for these tailored sets and if outlingd with black, where a col- ! ored material is used, are very ef- fective. g An unusual handbag designg.d for use” with a summer costume is one ‘about eight inches deep, crocheted with colored raffia, The bag has a wired top covered with raffia and closes with a loop fastening over an oval knob, A _wide handle or strap with which to carry it is slso made of crocheted raffia. One of these !in dull petunia color had raffia pan- sies for decoration about its top. | Others had clusters of matching flow- eérs and of various colors. Combs and fans similarly decorated are . to be worn with party frocks this winter and the making of them presents an interesting problem to the designer. Velvet petals may form the entire fan while the comb is adorned with balls to match. A round comb for milady of the bobbed hair is completely covered with tiny rosebuds whilst a knot of them decor- ates her chiffon fan. White velvet flowers as a corsage on a black gown can be repeated in one’s hair atop a high comb.'In fact when one really gets started on the subject, there is 0. end to the variety of delightful cambinations of colors and flowers to be thought out, and so constructed as to makg gifts of unusual- charm, The gift one makes surely ex- | presses love to the recipient. For wighout a_real affection, ¢ne could not ‘possibly desire to put in all those little stitches, or careful touches of }Jnin;ing that ;the made- gift' shows orth. took a ton of beef to Bemidji Monday for Swift & company.
