DAINTY DRESS CLOSETS.
Perfumed Pads on Ceilings and
Walls Is the Latest kink of
1 Fashionable wOmanhood.

Perfumed pads for trunk trays and
compartments of the dresser have
proved so satisfactory in imparting
that delicate scent which women love
that one woman has carried out the
scheme still further. She had been in
the habit of hanging sachets of her
favorite powder in her clothes closet,
but il did not seem to be as sausfac-
tory as the pads in the bureau. She
experimental by hanging sheets
around the wall and using a liquid
scent, but that evaporated. Finally
she took out the pads from her trunk
and hung them on the hooks in the
dress closet. Then she thought: why
not pad the closet?"
No sooner thought Of than done.
Her best dress closet is now uphol-
stored over all the walls and ceiling.
She did it herself. The backing of the
pads is cheesecloth. Then there is
thick layer of cotton batting thickly
strewn with her favorite violet sachet
powder, and covering the whole is
delicate shade of violet China silk. Be
fore fastening this lining to the walls
of the closet it was tied in comfort"
style with dainty baby ribbon, tied in
bow knots.
The pads are bound all around the
edge with violet satin ribbon, having
loops at the upper edge to hang the
pads to the wardrobe hooks. These
bindings are not "sewed TO stay" at the
top, but may be easily ripped loose in
order to renew the powder at any time.
Pads on the ceiling and above the
hooks are fastened with brass-headed
tacks hidden under the ribbon bows.
This luxurious closet may be imi-
tated in cheaper upholstery and be

CHICKEN IN COCOTTES.
French Fashion That Is Now BEING
Initiated by American Hotel
Men and Caterers.

The picturesque little dishes here il
Illustrated are French stewpans of red
earthenware, in which are cooked in
broth chicken as well as young lamb.
game and other tender cuts of meat.
The stewpans are of about the same
material as Boston bean pots, and, like
the bean pot, it is considered quite the
correct thing to serve them with their
contents on the table. The New Eng
land housewife, we are aware, does not
expect to display a bean pot any more
than any other kitchen stew pan or pot,
but it is not an uncommon thing on the
more elegant tables outside of New
England to see it so displayed in order
TO validate the claim that its contents
are genuine Boston baked beans"
The French cocotte comes in various
sizes. 1t is broad and shallow, so it's
contents are easily cooked. Cut the
chicken, TO cook it in this way, in small
pieces, as you do for fricassee. Sea-
son it well and add a dozen small but
ton onions and some potatoes cut in
tiny ball form. Cover the chickenwith
half a cup of white broth or veal stock
and put the cover on the dish. Set the
dish on hot range, and let the chicken
and vegetables slowly cook for half an
hour. At the end of this time the veg
etables will be nearly done and the
broth considerably reduced and brown.

A PAIR OF COCOTTES.

Toss the chicken and vegetables in it,
add little more broth, and let them
cook about Is minutes longer. BY this
time the vegetables and the chicken, if
the latter is tender, will be well done
and the whole a rich brown stew, Take
up the chicken in a mound on platter
dish, the vegetables around it, and
strain the gravy over the vegetables.
If you wish, the cocotte with its con-
tents may be placed on plate or not
and served on the table. This is the way
the French peasant serves the dish and
the fashion is initiated on some of the
most elegant hotel tables in this coun-
try. Red earthenware dishes, i'm
ported for the purpose, are used. The
stew may be enjoyed if it is prepared
IN any ordinary covered pot of thick
earthenware. 1t would probably be
necessary to allow little longer time
for cooking, as the shallow cocotte
cooks almost as rapidly asa spider.-N.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Don't try to make good butter when
milk and cream are kept in unventi-
lated cellars.
Turn off the old cows. 1t is not wis.
dom to keep COWS after they are eight
years old, as rule.
Whenever you see black pepsin rec
commended for the increase of the but
ter product, count it as fraud.
Do you know what profit each of your
COWS yield you? If you are a butter
maker it is possible and profitable.
If your land is hilly, select that va
riety of COWS which will thrive best.
Heavy cattle cannot climb hills readily.
In selling COW for mixer, be hon
est with the persons to whom you sell.
Establish reputation for fair dealing.
If any of our readers milk eight or
ten COWS they cannot afford to set the
milk in cans. Separate. Get sep
arator.
The dairy is, without question, more
profitable than wheat growing in Min
nesota and in many sections of both
DalSotas.
If, after feeding the proper milk
making food to your cows, you are still
unable to obtain good quality of milk
try giving her fat-making substance
and dispose of her.
When anyone gets where he thinks he
can learn nothing he might as well die
and perhaps he will get somewhere
where there is something to learn.
There is good deal for the best of us
yet to learn in the dairy.

country should grade as prime butter

Asparagus thrives best on combina-
ton of a good soil with perfect drain
age. If the good drainage is absent,
heavy, compact soil is the worst place to
try to grow it. The plant is frequently
grown in sandy land, and is thought by
some to do well in no other, for the rea-
son that the drainage requirement is
not fully appreciated. Asparagus be-
gins to grow very early in the spring,
before ordinary land is dry enough TO
go on; therefore, it requires land in
which water does not stand Aspara-
gus growth, however, is mostly water,
SO that heavy soil which will retain
certain amount of water and not leach
itself dry is really desirable to secure
a long bearing season.

IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR co.
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
in the CastOria Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel w. Eslinger, of ST.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles III. Fletcher is president, is the
sole manufacturer of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The DILL averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by af-
fidavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was a species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, indianapolis
District of Columbia, Texas and New
Jersey, in all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair, of st. Louis, and F. Fl.
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
fendant. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria'
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles H. Fletcher, on the label
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
"Pitcher's Baby Castoria." 1t is said
that criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.

Preventing Calf Scours.

I always feed calf all the milk it will
take from the time it is weaned from
the COW, and when it is week old it is
fed from that time forth on sour thick
milk, says a correspondent of Holrd's
Dairyman. i take a good handful of
the best oil meal and scatter it with
enough boiling water to warm the milk
sufficiently warm and give the cali all
the milk it will drink, and [ have vet
to lose my first calf or have one
troubled in the least with the scours.
The oil meal, besides being excellent
as a preventive of bowel trouble, is
very nutritious, and calf will thrive
and do well on much less milk when
fed with the oil meal than he would
without IL.
