HornIess Cattle.

A herd of horned cows was bred to a
polled bull, whose mother wore horns;
ninety per cent. of the calves had no
horns, says the Wisconsin Agricul-
turist These young hornless heifers
never had horned calf. This shows
how easily the horns may be bred away,
and, although slow, this way Is the best
of ALL Horned cattle require twice as
much stable room as polls, for the
young cattle Of the latter kind can be
herded In pen like sheep until ready
to drop their first calves. No chains,
stanchions or halters; never disturb
ing one another as they crowd around
the feeding trough. If we look through
stock yards we shall find the horns ac-
tually gone from nine-tenths Of the
stock brought there. Whether this Is
due to the chemical dehorner, the saw
or to breeding, 1t shows that horns are
no longer the fashion. The chances ara
that they never will be again.

help them over her ears. Ii her hair IL
thin on top, as 1t is eminently proper 1t
should be, she wears a lace cap, fierce
affair that is drawn over the top of her
head and that hangs i'm tier of ter
races about her ears, to the amaze Of
all, the alarm of many and the enor-
nous augmentation Of her own dignity.
She has Il lot of wraps. and Is usually
done up in elegant furs. These furs ex-
tend in long tabs in front. and the tabs
take toboggan down the front like
that OIL the back, only it Is not so long
and is little more abrupt. She alway,:
seems to be i'm frightful temper. and
If she really Is fish Of any size in the
social pond, her hostess will be in per-
feet anguish unless everything seems
to suit her, while the best-looking man
in the room will drop the prettiest girl
in the place at the summons Of the
dowager's fan.
If you haven't seen this new type. all
this will seem strange to you, but there
Is no exaggeration In it as applied to
the individual. 1t really looks as il
well-to-do women of advanced years
and receded charms had planned to
surrender absolutely and to be as ugly
rs they can be. Or it may be that the
dressmakers. who were always most
sinfully neglected OF these women, have
chosen the easiest way out of 1t and
gone in for elaborate ugliness, giving up
striving to disguise defects. But no
matter how stylish the dowager may
become, no sensible woman will con-
sent to take after her. In loose house
dresses particularly there is no excuse
for it. for in such gowns the middle
AGED and pudgy woman can compete

The stock collar with its bow in back,
and the belt are of rose pink satin rib
bon. A change of front Is practically
n necessity with such dress, and II
Is an excellent idea to have them quite
different. one from the other. One of
lace would prove particularly handsome
for this dress.
Miss Demurity can be depended on to
get herself up In many extremely Mt
tractive ways, but here's a new trick
for her In this last picture, Il device that
will he difficult 10 equal for quaintness.
This simple blouse waist is finished at
the neck with a plain collar band, and
attached to this Is a collar Of white
stiffened null, much like the standing
collnrs worn by men sixty years ago.
The cravat of those times Is too severe
for women to copy so a bow Is put at
the front, It's ribbon going around the
neck. A plain ribbon forms the belt,
the material of the whole being brown
silk.
or the simple house dresses that lend
an air Of domcstlcity to their wearers,
aprons are an important factor, and
these are now plain, the day of the
dainty berufflcd apron being gone.
Such aprons are now on the bargain
counters. which means that they are
no longer fitted to the latest wrinkle.
The right apron looks delightfully."- do

other challenge, enough to make man

out Of that bib. Such nm apron backs

Regulating the oven.

When particular baking Is receiving
attention and several unfamiliar dish
es are being manufactured, it is Of
special Importance to have the oven In
perfect condition, and as far as possible
under the control Of the cook. The best
of stoves, says an experienced house
wife, are tricky sometimes, and bear
watching. Nearly each one has Its pet
pecullarity--a tendency to burn at the
bottom, or habit Of scorching at the
top, while the lower part remains raw
and sodden. Familiarity will enable
the cook to correct these difficulties.
She will overcome the first fault by
placing the grating or pan under the
baking dish, and the other by covering
the cake or loaf with pan or paper
until the bottom is done. A plain piece
of MANILA paper laid over the top OF a
cake will insure thorough, even baking,
when without this arrangement the top
would become scorched long before the
cake was baked through.

japanese Chrysanthemums.

While the great mop-headed chrysan.
themums continue to attract attention
with the multitude, there are signs of
change among. the more refined In favor
Of the smaller, more varied and moro
delicate forms, chiefly of Japanese orr
gin. At the recent exhibition of chrys-
anthemums grown in the Washington
Park greenhouse, Albany, says the In
dependent, the most attractive section
was that devoted to Japanese seed
lings. Here was every variety Of form
and color, from daisy-size to largest
chrysanthemum form, delicate shades
and rich, dark colorings, petals OF every
variety Of form and length. Each fiow-
er seemed striving to escape from con-
ventional form, and the whole collec-
ton formed perfect flower garden in
itself. The gardener in charge told me
that the best people of Albany express
ed a decided preference for these Jap
anese seedlings, especially for vase
adornment One Of these park seed
lings, in another collection, made very
vigorous growth, and was trained on q
fan-shaped trellis. 1t bore over 400
beautiful white blooms.

Weight Of Fodder per Acre.

weight OF FOduer per acre.
AS an acre of land contains 43,56O
square feet, a yield Of two tons of hay
per acre, which Is considerably above
the average, ought not to be thought
extraordinary. 1t Is only at the rate
of one pound for eleven square feet.
The green grass Of course weighs more
than this, but Ii loses fully half or more
Of it's weight when dried into hay. Con-
sidcring how large an acre is, the yields
Of twenty or more tons of fodder corn
per acre ought not to seem Incredible
twenty-five tons is really only one
pound per square foot. English farm
ess I'm very rich land grow still heavier
crops OF mangel wurtzel and Of ruta-
bagas But with both fodder corn and
roots the large yields are best gained
by thin seeding, allowing each plant to
make the best development Of which 1t
Is capable. II two roots grow side by
side neither will amount to much. 1t Is
not uncommon to grow roots which will
singly weigh three or four pounds, and
each take up less space than square
foot. But there must be room between
the plants to do this. Trying to grow n
three-p0und root on every square foot
viii make a failure of all.

suing a stately toboggan from the nape
of her neck adown her back to the tip of
her far away train. She always wears
a train, and she dresses In the most
magnificent brocades and silks. AS Il
rule they are of all-over and very hid

set In at her waist that spread joyfuliy
down the skirt. She wears rich lace
fichus which reach down to where her
waist ought to be in the back, and the
ends of which are drawn to the point
where it has been decided her waist is
in front. In point Of fact, she has no
waist. She wears her hair, which is
either flercely black or iron-gray, parted
in the middle and drawn over her ears.

To Grow Profitable Crops.

"A windmill to irrigate such land,
with all the necessary material for
utilizing the water need not cost more
than $500. In one season the crops will
more than pay for this cost, says the
Connecticut Farmer. Several years
ago a dry spell swept over Long Island
and Eastern Jersey, almost running the
market gardeners crops. Only few
had their land irrigated by windmills.
The prices for all farm crops went up
amazingly in price, and the few who
could raise their crops made sixty per
cent. more than usual. In short, they
made enough to pay for their wind
mills several times over. 1t Is not a
good plan to mortgage the farm for
anything, but If there is any one thing
that will be sure to bring in the money
to pay off the mortgage and interest it
is good windmill and n perfect irriga.
