possess luxuriant locks from the time OF
glrlhood never again attalns its original
length after having once been cut.

adds that there is u general opinion that
frequent cutting of the hair increases it,

week to week compared the Intensity OF
growth of tho shorn place with the resi-
OF the hair. The result was surprising
to this close and careful observer, as he
found In Bome cases the numbers were
equal, but generally the growth became
slower after cutting, and he lhas nevc,

The farmer is getting the advantage

The farmer is getting the advantage
Of the inventive faculty of tho present
age. Steam thrashing machiner are
slowly but surely displacing the old
method Of thrashing by horse power.
1t takes moro help to keep the machine
running up TO Its full capacity than IT
did by horse power, but then much
Steadler motion is given, and the much
dreaded "thrashing Gays" are shortened
by one-half, which is q great boon to
the farmer and his wife. There is only
one team needed, and that the thrashipa q
men furnish themselves, and use it for
hauling water for the steam engine.
Where the thrashed grain has to be tax en-
any distance, of course teams have
to be used for hauling 1t away. The
steam thrashing.mach!nes arc made ex-
ira large, with big cylinder at which
two men stand to feed it. These ne
cessitale two band cutt ers and and ex-
ira two men to pitch to them. These
steam thrashera, confined with the
improved machinery for putting the
grain into the ground IN the spring 1--WE
refer to the screw pulvorlzeD and the
self-blnd1ng reaper, make the farmer
practically independent of tho hired
help. for crop Of 100 acres Of small
grain can be sown, raaycd, and thrash
ed MS on sy as 20 acres could by the old
and slower methods.
This is very important item in the
farmers economy, for in some sections
help cannot be obtained during the
rush of harvest at any price, and whore
it can be got it is generally OF an in
ferlor character and has to be paid the
exorblt ant prlce OF fro m 50. 90 to $3. 90
por day. Tue steam thrusher is OF I'M
monsa benefit to the farmer, and the
day will soon be here that every neigh
borhood will be supplied with u ma
chime. Farmers can uee the steam
power that it takes to run the thrashing
machine for ali tho necessary purposes
OF grinding grain, shelling corn, an d
cutting hay with chaff- cutter, when
the machine is not in use for thrash
ing.
Suitable arrangements must be, how.
ever, provided for guarding against
fire. Where possible the engine should
be placed far enough away from the
farm buildings so there will not be the
remotest chance of fire. The best way
to carry this power from the engine to
buildings is by wire rope, as O belt
cannot be used to carry power as far az
wlre rope; and then, too, the belt,
when used in wet weather will got wet
and slip.

SCRAP BAsKET.-Seleot q medium

plain ground and gilt figures is pretttest.
The knob or pint is to be securely glued
into large square or circular block,
which it will be necessary to have made
by carpenter, rs it must be smoothly
finished to look we'll after it has been
painted. This block must also he heavy
enough to aot rs stand for the UNI
brella to hold it steadily in it's upright
position, that it may not be easily
knocked over. The block is then to be
painted the color of the umbrella, and
decorated like it with gilt figures. TO
prevent tho umbrella from falling open
the points Of the ribs which PROJECT
beyond tho paper covering are inter
laood with sntin ribbon. Either several
shades Of the narrOwest ribbons are
turned in and out of tho ribs like basket
work, or wide ribbon may be used.

shade of tho ribbons. Tho umbrclla

from whence 1t is difficult to remove

tho lncings, tic bunch OF them round

and their many colors make gay trim

This can easily be done without i6juring
tho covering of the umbrella by touch,

or gum, and press the paper asaints it.
When 1t dries the paper will adhere and
keep in place nicely. They are very
