TRIMMING THE BEARD
1t Should BE Done SO rs to Lend symmetr

to the Face.
Men with long, thin faces should
have round boards, if any. But if a
mans face is abnormally round and fat
he should wear an Imperial" as the
narrow, long variety of the Van Dyck
beard is called. Oddly enough, it is
the Americans who chiefly favor this
form, though their faces, being long
and narrow, need it'less than any.
There is one good argument against
the beard which ought to have some
weight. 1t nearly always robs the
head of hair. 1t is very seldom that a
man can maintain luxuriant growth
of both after the age of forty. Per-
haps this may be one reason
that whenever long boards have been
worn the hair has been cut short, and
whenever the head locks have been
permitted to be long the beard has al.
most entirely disappeared. 1t is mis-.
take for short men to wear the beard
too long. The head should be little
less than one-seventh the length of the
whole body, and the capillary addition
to its size throws it quite out of pro.
portion. On a very tall man, inclined
TO leanness and angularity, long
beard is almost equally mistake, un.
less he should happen to be so bounti.
fully supplied by nature that he can
have it of width proportionate to its
length, and SO thick as to convey an
idea of almost superintendent fullness.
He will probably pay for this, however,
by being very bald on the top of his
head. London News.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due tc .ts presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; efiectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

FARMER AND PLANTER.
LESSON TO DAlRYMEN.
Aim to Get the Most Butter When the
Article Ia Highest.

Aim to Get the Most Butter When the
Article Is Highest.
win not the prevailing low prices for
butter during the summer show the
dairymen, who depend upon the ruling
of the market, that in order to get any
money out of cows they must not be in
full flow of milk during hot weather?
Cows which are to calve in the fall
are going dry. This is as it should be
"a full flow in autumn and winter and
a falling off in summer when butter is
cheap. Taking the country through,
not one farmer in ten has any
other market for his butter but
that afforded by the grocery
stores, where good, bad and in
different all sell alike. While this
seems foolish to the regular customer
dairymen, who, whether butter comes
down to ten cents or not is sure of his
price, it is fact just the same. These
same grocery-store butter makers
might by little forethought avoid be-
ing placed in u situation where the
only alternative lies between selling at
an extremely low price and holding
their butter until fall, hoping for rise
in the price.
The old way of having all the cows
calve in the spring and go dry early in
the winter has obtained so firm a foot
old that it seems impossible to dislodge
it from some mems minds. Yet nothing
but direct reversal of this practice
will bring profit to the general farmer
out of his cows. Plan to have the cows
alive in October and the two following
months. Butter then brings its best
price, while the cows are fresh and do
ing their best. Then when hot wealth
er comes and the price begins to drop,
when pastures fail, when flies are trou-
blesome and the work of making good
butter is almost an impossibility, un-
less supplied with more conveniences
than the average farmhouse possesses,
let the cows take vacation. 1t is just
when all possible time is needed in the
field-another point in favor of not
having much milking to do.
Many men object to winter dairying
because it takes so much grain. Years
ago, when we began housekeeping, we
had but two cows. Upon these cows
we experimental with feed and
watched the results in the millI-pail
and churn. We found that with but
ter no higher than sixteen cents per
pound our cows paid us twice over for
the grain they consumed at market
prices. We often, now that the two
cows have increased to twenty or more
hear men ask: 'How can you afford to
feed so much grain?" But when the
butter pays for the grain several times
over, we do not hesitate to 'shove in
the feed.
Summer dairying will probably al
ways be followed by some men. They
are the men who dislike to milk anC
take care of cows when it is cold
whose stables are far from being com
Portable, and whose cows are of the
scrub variety. They are willing tC
take pail on their arm and go out t.
the barnyard to milk, but can not beal
to milk in a stable. When winter
comes, they prefer to sit by The
stove rather than milk so the mill
dwindles down to enough for coffee
and sometimes to none at all.-Country

HERE AND THERE.

1T pays to take considerable pains
to prepare the soil in good filth be-
fore sowing the seed
Trying to farm without an agri-
cultural paper is as absurd as novel
without out a hero, or dinner with
out potatoes, or town dude without a
mustache.
With stock, as with nearly all other
farm products, the best time to sell is
when they are fully ready. There is
usually very little advantage in feed
ing later.
Look after the shelter tits better
to have the shelter ready two weeks
before it is needed than to be one day
behind and have the stock exposed to a
cold storm.
The early chicks will make the
early layers when eggs are high next
spring. In good warm quarters they
will begin business in midwinter and
keep it up, if properly fed.
While with nearly all classes of
stock it is usually advisable to let run
out during the day as long as the
weather will permit, it is often a good
plan to commence sheltering at night
in good season.
The most important point in milch
COW is digestion. No matter about
blood color or temperament, if digestive
power isdefcient she will not be profit
able. A COW is simply machine for
converting animal food into human
food.
There is better health among row
ing fowls because they get the food
which is best for digestion, and get the
necessary grit to help the gizzard do
its work. We should make this study
and profit by it.
In beginning with thoroughbred
poultry, it is best to begin with the
best. If you are not able to buy as
many as you would like, buy what you
can, but get them good.
Some farmers who try to make and
sell butter not only do not know how
to make good butter, but do not know
good butter when they see it. The
writer partook of some recently at the
table of an old and intelligent farmer.

New Plan Suggested Which Should
Prove Very Popular.
Those who have skill in painting
flowers, either in oil or water colors,
can find chance for the exercise of
their skill in mounting photograph,
according to the plan suggested in the
accompanying illustration. If oil col
ors are to be used, let piece of "ac-
ademy board" be selected, upon which
background is to be painted in bold
strokes, but little blended together.
The one from which the illustration is
taken shades from rich brown in the
lower left hand corner to light golden
brown in the upper right hand corner.
The morning glories, or other flowers,
if preferred, should be painted from
nature, if possible, using only the col
ors that will hormonize well together
and with the background. If water
colors are to be used, let q piece OF
pulp board be cut of the right size and
piece of water color paper wet and
stretched over it, the edges pasted at
the back. The mount Is then ready for
decoration. After the background is
laid on perfectly fiat photograph, it
self mounted, but preferably UNI
mounted, is to be pasted to the academy

vide a small neclSlet by taking the two
sides of the original crown. Then,
again, it is possible to have merely q
single-stone necklet from the junction
of the two slender bands of the coro-
net. The achievement is the more re-
markable since it has not so far been
found possible to obtain flexibility in a
floral design. This trinket is valued
ut the modest sum of 800.
Another model, comparatively low
priced, but also worthy Of much ad-
miration, is diamond and pearl
aigrette for the hair, which can he de-
tached and worn as brooch. The
third figure is shell hairpin sur
mounted by two dainty little Mercury
wings united by knot of diamonds.
In these days of much dressed heads
handsome hair ornaments are becom-
ing daily more popular
1t is far cry from these jeweled
playthings OF the wealthy to the simple,
little, ribbon ornament Of the every
day girl is probably just as happy as
she Of the diamond crown.
Many a young girl manages to look
delightfully."- pretty with dainty rib
bon bow in her hair instead of gilt
tering jeweled one. Two styles are
particularly popular. For the first,
four bows of velvet ribbon are tightly
tied, with two outstanding ends of the
same. Rose-colored velvet is the IA
vorite, and when tiny bow Of white
lace is introduced the effect Is
charming on pretty brown hair.
These can be worn with a rou-
leau of velvet or can be fastened
in the hair with fine, steel crescent
hair pin. The other popular bow real
ly consists of four ends of crossway
velvet, arranged two on each side, with
tie In the center. The outer ends are
longer than the others and are cut in
vandykes. On orange, blue, or pink
bows of this kind narrow jet trim
ming is run on little way within the
edge. Another dainty ornament for
the hair is rouleau Of blue velvet and
five rosettes of blue silk lisse. The
rouleau IS worn across the top and
around one side of the coil Of the hair.
Near the front end butterfly is light
ly placed above a good-sized rosette.
The smaller rosettes are placed on the
band at intervals, two being quite at
the end.

AT THE HOLY sEpuLoHRE.


~""' WI" inherit the Privilege of Levy
Ing Tribute on the People.
One OF the most homogeneous sights
at the Holy Sepulchre is the Turkish
divan just inside the entrance, ON
which n couple of INDECENT Moslems
recline, gazing with apparent indiffer-
ence at the deyout pilgrims who pass
through the gate, but really scrutiniz-
ing them with view of soliciting
baksheesh. These men may be STYLED
the Jailers of Christendom, for they
possess the right of opening and
closing the Basilica. This privilege
has been hereditary in two families for
centuries. To one of them belongs the
right of keeping the key of the gate,
and to the other one the privilege OF
opening 1t. Whom any one of the
three communities living inside the
Basilica desires the gate to be opened,
a servant is signaled to call the
representatives of the two farai-
lies. After long delay--because
an oriental is never in a hurry except
when he wants favor-the two men
appear. The gate can be unlocked only
In the presence of the two, the old reg
ulations prescribing the attendance OF
both, as the one holding the key is not
allowed to open the gate, and vice
versa. After having performed their
duty they repair to the divan and pro-
coed to light the nargileh and fan the
brazier upon which they make their
coffee. Charcoal and coffee have to be
furnished them by the fathers, besides
stipend of money, the price of all
reaching about one dollar for each
opening. The gate only remains open
till about eleven o'clock in the fore
noon. On festivals, when any of the
patriarchs make their solemn entrance,
both wings of the gate are thrown
open, and the price of this ranges from
five dollars to ten dollars, consuls and
other distinguished visitors being ex-
pected to give extra baksheesh.-

THE SPRING GARDEN.


IL You Want a Good One Begin To fre-
pare It Now.
Now is the time to prepare for next
springs garden. II you haul out the
manure about the barnyard, clean out
the COW stalls and horse stables and
scatter upon the garden and turnip
patches, and then plow under, you will
not need to make an expensive compost
heap during winter. Turned into the
soil now, during September or Octo-
Der, the raw manure will rot and be-
come thoroughly incorporated with the
soil before spring work begins.
Have you tried green soiling as a
means of improving the fertility of the
soil? We mean by planting peas in
summer or early fall and turning
under the green crop just before
the first killing FROST the lat
ter part of October. This plan
puts new life into the soil for next
years gardening besides, the shading
during the dry fall months consumes
the heterogeneous elements that are in
the soil, and so maintains supply of
some of the most important integers
that constitute the food supply of both
trees and plants.
Does the orchard need fertilizers?
That depends upon several contingen-
cies-the age of the trees, the time the
land has been in cultivation and the
natural fertility of the soil. The or
chard being young, the soil of virgin
freshness, with sufficient fertility to
produce thirty-fve or forty bushels of
corn per acre, the orchard will do well
for number of years without fertiliz-
ing But when the trees come into full
bearing and make heavy drafts upon
the earth to mature their crops
the time will come when it will
be necessary to fertilize, else the
trees will begin to starve, the fruit
will become smaller and of inferior
quality, and SO be worthless for mar
ket or home consumption. We have
observed such results time and again
in the past thirty years, so we can put
it down as an axiom that even the best
orchard lands will soon or late fail If
attention is not given to judicious feed
ing. Those trees planted on lands
that have been cropped in corn and
cotton till they have begun to fail will
need fertilizing from the first. What
fertilizers to use upon the orchard is
an important question, well deserving
earnest, intelligent study, conjoined
with scientific experiments, worthy,
we think, to be undertaken by our ex-
pertinent stations. We hope Mr.. Price
our A. and NJ. college horticulturist,
may find time to inaugurate a series of
experiments that will help to solve the
importont problem. Home and Farm.

A Common Mistake.

A common mistake of farmers is
their habit of neglecting crops when
prices are low, with the sentiment that
it will not pay to give it extra care at
present prices. The reverse is true. 1t
will not pay to neglect crops for this
reason. 1t is the part of wisdom to
fertilize and cultivate with greater
care the lower the price, for it has been
demonstrated that good cultivation
gives products at the least cost by in
creasing the yield more rapidly than
the cost. Twenty per cent additional
labor will often increase the yield SO
to Is per cent.-Farm and Ranch.

the fruit that much later. The crop
