ChiIdren,s Fashions.

Children's fashions are miniature re-
productions of the modes for grown
up people just as far as small gowns
can represent the varied details of
fashion within their limited space and
the bounds of good taste. There are
double skirts. skirts with a circular
fiounce and skirts with plaits in the
back variously finished with the inev-
liable rows of stitching. Then there
are gimps, yokes and vests of all kinds,
not too elaborate for children's wear.
Tucked taffeta silk yokes seem to be
a special fancy, and yoxes of white
cloth striped with double rows of SOU
tache braid, one of white and one of
black, sewed close together, are very
effective. Plaid silk is useful, too, for
the yokes of serge school gowns, and
a plaid silk waist trimmed with mar
row braid and made with velvet vest
is another useful adjunct to the school
girls outfit.

whera servanta Are Cheap.

A recent issue of The Transyaal Crit
ic contained this suggestive bit of
news: THE man Uys who thrashed
two native servant girls to death in the
Wakkerstroom district some months
ago has been sentenced to two years
hard labor Mild as the sentence will
appear to those who correctly estimate
the value of human life, it has astound-
ed the relatives and friends of the ac-
cused. It says good deal for the jury
that they did not decide on an acquit-
tai, seeing that the state attorney stated
in the raad not long ago that to thrash
native servant to death was not a
dishororjng crime"

The old Mill Pond.

Did you ever brave the perils
OF the vastly deep,
Where the bullfrog means and mumbles
And the tadpoles weep?
All, but have, ai,d | cherish
Recollections fond
OF those days Of navigation
On the old mill pond
There were Charlie, Frank and Oscar
And myself we four
Sailed that vast ezpanse of water
Very often DER
Brave, intrepid, were the seamen;
Steady was our craft
Odds and ends Of bits Of lumber
Made into raft.
Once we visited an island,
Wishing to explore,
And we moored our trusty vessel
On the islands shore.
While we roamed, the land exploring,
Unconcerned and gay,
Ruthless waves our craft belabored,
Washed the raft away.
But to seamen such as we were,
Traversing the wave
Shipwreck was a trif1ing matter
We were dauntless, brave.
Tying up our clothes in bundles,
So they dry would keep,
Naked swan we to the mainland
Through the vastly deep
Many years have passed since that day;
Sailors still are we,
Buffeting the waves that roll on
Lies tempestuous sea,
But through all the storms cherish
Recolleetions fond
OF those days Of navigation
On the old mill pond.

Laces and Furs.

Having chung to lace during the sum
mer season, we are loath to leave it.
and softly tinted lace is layishly ar
ranged midst our sables and other
brown furs. Chiffon is also used to
form dainty jabots and frills, which
fall out from full fronts and set in full
plaits round fur collars and form cas-
cade plaitings on either side of our
muffs. Brown furs are to be much
worn this winter, but where the small
coat or tailor made costume is not con-
cealed by a wrap the complete white
fox muffs and boas are in the ascend
ant and are infinitely becoming and
uncommon.

Chilling the Flock.

One of the chief principles of the art
of breeding is the right selection of the
breeding stock, says The American
Sheep Breeder Selection, we think,
stands first Accident operates greatly
in this, for after all our work and jul
dicious care there will be some failures
where successes were expected and
some unexpected successes. In breed
ing one can scarcely be sure. 1t seems
very much of lottery, but of this we
may be sure-if the best part of the
flock is selected every year and the
culls got rid of, there will be a steady
improvement in quality of those that
are kept The condition of the flock
will be then steadily improving and
the value of it increasing. This is
one of the most important points in the
conduct of a flock, for whatever pur-
poses it may be kept, whether it is for
the sale of breeders, for market lambs,
for mature muttons or for the fleece
This latter purpose is important, for
enough in the matter of improvement
of the fleece, and this should be one of
the first considerations of the breeders
for quantity and quality Of wool. In
the selection of rams for the improve
ment of wool flock the fleece should
be the first consideration. And the
requisites for this are, first, fineness
of staple, then length, then density of
the fieece-that is, the number of fibers
to the square inch. All other qualities
of the fleece depend on the manage
ment of the flock

NeatsfOot Oil.


When it was the custom to kill one
or more beef cattle on the farm ev-
cry fall, says The American Cultivator,
we could not save the waste and offal
from them as do the great packing
houses who boast that their profits
come from such savings, but we did
save one part which many threw away
or buried. The hoofs and feet as cut
off by the butcher when slSinning were
saved and put to soak for a few days,
then scrubbed clean and put in a ket
tie to boil They were boiled slowly
for some hours and then set away to
settle. Before the fat hardened the fat
and oil were taken off and put in an
other kettle, which was allowed to boil
for awhile until nearly all the water
was evaporated. Then it was cooled
until the fat hardened, which was
taken off for soap grease while the
oil which did not harden was turned
off and strained. If much water re-
manned in it, it might be boiled again
till the water was all out of it, and
there would be nearly q quart, if we
remember rightly, of pure neatsfoot
oil from set of feet that we thought
was the best oil to be had for oiling
boots and shoes, harnesses or any
leather that we wanted soft, pliable
and weather proof.

l do not know what the average val
ne of farms in this county is, but it is
not crest amount writes Alya Agee
in The National Stockman. A normal
interest on such an amount would be
small. A farm worth $4,000 is a good
farm, several times more valuable
than an average farm. Five per cent,
tax paid, is a satisfactory rate, high
er rate than investors in safe securities
can secure net. The $4,000 thus in
vested would secure an income of $500
n year, an income far from burden
some. The owner of a $1,000 farm
would receive net only $3.50 if the
value of his farm were converted into
money and loaned safely. Such an
income would not go far toward meet
ing all the expenses of the family If
the farm home were exchanged for a
rented home on town rot. am try
ing to emphasize the point that the
farm is valuable to most farmers large
ly because it affords opportunity for
investment Of labor that provides
cheap living and some compensation
for labor and skill in producing and
marketing cash products. 1t is not
question of what is saved or what in
terest is obtained on the investment,
but what pay can be secured for the la
Dor and skill that go into the bust
ness each year. This, in connection
with comparatively cheap food,
amounts to much more than the in
terest in the case of the average farm.
The farm is desirable because it fur
nishes home, labor that is not done
at others dictation and premium
upon skill in management
