FOR HOME DRESSMAKERS.
The Amateur Dressmaker Finds 1t Di6l-
cult to Put in sleeves Correctly.

The Amateur Dressmaker Finds 1t Diff
cult to Put in Sleeves Correctly.
The amateur dressmaker is apt to re-
gard the full, large sleeves as neces-
stating less care in the putting-in pro-
cess, but this is a fatal mistake, and
ruins an otherwise well-made bodice.
1t is quite true that the armhole may
be slightly larger where the sleeve is
so voluminous, but on a small or mar
row figure it is even better to have the
armhole too small, as, if much sloped,
the bodice is made to look much
smaller and narrower, and the big, full
sleeve has an almost grotesque feet
In sloping the armhole let it clear the
arm all around and be so curved in
front that when the arm is brought
forward it is not straining against the
armhole, nor does it impede the cir
culation and thereby make the hands
look red and swollen.
Where the under-arm seam fits into
the bodice there should be quite q
scoop" in the bodice, to clear the arm
and allow it to move forward, and I'M
derneath the arm the bodice should be
almost straight and about three
quarters of an inch below the arinpit.
The back is almost straight and close
up to the arm, and it should not be
forgotten that if the back is sloped
out and made quite narrow, the sleeve
must drag and prove uncomfortable,
as it practically has to do the duty for
part of the bodice.
A very much sloped and too narrow
back also looks even less against the
wide sleeves, and make the waist look
unduly large. Keep the back as broad
as possible, even on large figure. as
big sleeves will greatly lessen the ap
parent width.-Chicago Times.

HERE AND THERE.

Push the corn-gathering and get it
all under good shelter.
Fruit trees may be planted until
the soil freezes too hard to work.
The value of nearly all rough feed
is greatly enhanced by being run
through cutter.
1t will nearly always pay to keep
at least one good team on the farm
well shod during the winter.
The fattening hogs should be
pushed this month, as usually much
later than this the cost of feeding. will
be increased.
1t is better to feed little now and
keep the stock in good condition than
to be obliged to feed more later to keep
alive.
The man who invests in fine stock
and neglects to give it proper care is
on par with the ne'er-dowell spend
| thrift.
Lessen the cost of feeding as much
as possible by providing comfortable
quarters, feeding regularly and supply
with plenty OF water
Fowl never become tired of milk;
they may be given too much grain or
too much meat, but they will not eat
nor drink more milk than is good for
them.
Breaking land in the fall is two
fold benefit; it buries all grass and
other trash, thus fastening its decom-
position; and it assists Jack Frost in
putting the soil in friable condition.
While mulching is often beneficial
especially to young growing trees and
among the small fruits, it should not
be applied until the ground freezes suf
ficiently hard TO bear up wagon.
1t is waste of good feed to turn
stock in to a good straw stack or to
scatter fodder or hay upon the ground.
The most economical plan is to provide
good feeding racks for feeding all Of
this kind of material. Even when feed

Plymouth Rocks. There is no doubt
that Plymouth Rocks are the most
popular of the American breeds, and
/ am not sure but they are the most
popular of any of the breeds now rec
ognized by the standard. / do not
mean by this that they are the highest
priced, for some of the newer breeds
are held at much higher prices, but go
where you will and you will see yards
with Plymouth Rocks in them. Their
color is great recon mendation, for
the cuckoo or dominique color has al
ways been favorite one with poultry
breeders, but this is not their only rec
ommendation to public favor, for they
are hardy and prolific.
The proper color of Plymouth Rocks
has been the subject of much discus
sion, some claiming that the bars
should be pure black and white, and
others that the darker bars should be
more of blue colur. This breed
sprung from two distinct sources and
these two branches were somewhat
different in color and shape, but they
have now been SO thoroughly amalga-
