An inexpensive Way OF Making .
Very Pretty Article

Very pretty picture frames may De
made IA the following manner: First,
make a frame OF any size desired OF
wood or stif pasteboard- Fasten
firmly at the corners and paint, or
stain, with any shade desired; then
fasteu on with glue any small orna-
ments you may hSppen TO fancy, and
over Il put n coat Of varnish- Brown
LazIeuuts ot an even size look well
when vanished, and pine burrs with
tiny aCoTus and cups TO ill out the corn
prs look very pretty indeed, and are
constant reminders OF sunshiny days
and ramlles in the woods. have seen
some very beautiful frames when beads
0f various shapes, sizes and cOlOrs were
used for ornament. They may be put
on plain or arranged IN leaves and
flowers according TO the fancy, but the
beauty OF the frame must depend
greatly on the skill and ingenuity in
arranging the ornaments. Tiny shells,
common river shells, when vanished
have 4 very pleasing effect, and my lit-
Tie boy has male some very pretty
frames, using only red, white and yell
low grains Of corn for ornament, AZ
ranging them with care and putting
over all good coat OF varnish, and
YOU would lie astonished to see how
really pretty they look
In using pine burrs they may be put
on whole II small, but II too large the
little leaves may lie pulled OF and ar
ranged in rows overlapping each other
about oue-Lalf inch, thus making
solid frame. Acorn cups may be used

quite inexpensive and pretty for

SEAsONABLE SUGGEsTIoNS.-Al-
though the dairymen are gradually be-
coming educated to a knowledge of
the advantages of pure-bred dairy
stock, yet many of them require train
ing in the art of making butter. To
learn TO make "gilt-edge" butter is
equivalent TO Learning a trade, and
millions of dollars are annually lost to
our dairymen through imperfect know
ledge in making butter. In Europe
schools of instruction are rapidly in
cressing, and there is a necessity for
something of the kind in this country.
The best results in modern dsirying
will be secured by those who IntelIigen-
tly seek for better knowledge of the
art OF buttermaking, especially in con-
nection with the creamery system, who
