large sleeves can always be cut down
and the body portion requires but
small pieces, yet with simple waist
of mousseline or Liberty the jacket
will make the whole gown appear new
and up-to-date.
The sleeveless model is cut with
fronts and back only that are extend
ed over the shoulders to form epaul-
cites. At the front are arranged bias
bands by means of which Il is held In
place. The second model is also sim.
pie and fitted by means of shoulder
and under-arm seams only, but Is
turned back at the fronts to form
small, tapering revers. The sleeves are
one-seamed and slashed at the lower
edge. At the meek is stock collar
that, with the jacket fronts, Is held
by tiny straps OF the material.
TO cut the sleeveless bolero one and

Woman,s Fnncy wnIst.

The bodice that gives waistcoat Of.
feet is much in vogue and is attractive
In the extreme. The very charming
May Manton model illustrated in the
large engraving is adapted to theatre
wear and all the many occasions thar
call for semi-dress. AS shown 1t Is Of
white taffeta with black velvet an1
cream lace over white, but innumer.
able combinations can be devised. and
all the popular blouse materials are
suitable. Black, with Turkish en-
broidery and deep cream chiffon, IN
place of the lace, Is chic.
The foundation is fitted lining, the
back and under-arm cores of which
are smoothly covered with the material
and which should be carefully boned.
The yoking material is faced into the
back, but is made separately at the
front, where 1t is included in the right
shoulder and under-arm seams aud
hooks over onto the left. The fronts
proper are laid In three tuclls at each
front edge, and are Joined to the nar-
row vest portions, which are held In
place by shaped straps and trimmed
with tiny enamel buttons. The deep
bertha is joined to the fronts and at
the lower edge of the yoke in back
the stock collar being attached to the
plastron and closing at the centre
back. The sleeves fit snugly at the
upper portion, but flare slightly at the
lower edge where they turn back to
form pointed cuffs. The undersleeves
are full In Paquin style and are ar
ranged over the fitted lining, which Is
cut full length, pointed bands finishing
the wrists.

Misses Thrce-ounrtcr Coat.

The three-quarter coat with box
front and half fitted back Is favorite
Of the season for young girls, as well
as for their elders, and means genuine
warmth as well as style. The May
Manton model illustrated combines
many features, and is in every way up
to date. The high, faring collar fits
snugly at the throat and wldens to
rest against the head and makes n
frame for the girlish face. The revers
are sharply pointed in Dlrcctolre style,
and the back is shaped after the latest
imported designs.
The fronts are loose in box style and
turn back to form the revers. The
back Is cut with slde-backs and u cen
tire seam, which curves gracefully to
the figure. The side seams are open
to the top of the stitching and so pro-
vide additional ease and freedom. The
collar is cut In four portions, high at
the back and rounds off mt the front.
The sleeves are twO-seamed ana fit
smoothly. Pockets, with laps, are in
serted in each front and the coat is

can he made of brocaded velvet or silk,
Of all-over lace or embroidery, or of
jetted or embroidered net, as well as Of
Oriental embroidery and silk. Beneath
it can be worn chiffon, mousseline,
Liberty, lace or such dress materials

Some Practical Points in Milking.


If there is any thing that requires
the dairy ems personal attention
more than any other, 1t is milking.
More good cows az spoiled every
year by careless milking that any
other way. A very little milk left In
the udder at each milking will cause
the best cow to decrease, and eventu.
ally to cease milking entirely.
The milking should not only be done
thoroughly, but it should be done
quickly, and unless the operator sings,
should be done quietly. In Switzer.
land 1t is said they pay an extra price
to n milker who sings. No loud, bois.
terous language should be permitted.
The COW Ia n nervous animal, and any
undue excitement affects the quantity
and quality of the milk unfavorably,
Do not allow persons or dogs to
worry the cows. Heifers that have
been carefully ana kindly handled
from calfhood to maturity seldom de.
velop into kickers, but occasionally
best to determine the cause, IL posi-.
bic, and remove it. The teats may be
sore and tender. An application of
vaselinc, French mixture or lard will
bring relief. If the udder is innamed
and swollen frequent lamentations of
hot water and an application of either
of the abOvenamed remedies will usu
ally prove effectual.
Another very simple and effcctual
remedy Is to mix enough of the cows
milk with few handfuls of salt TO
make thin paste and anolnt the nd.
der four or five times a day. That is
our usual remedy. We have had but
one case in five years that it did not
cure.
With the first calf there is more dan.
ger of the udder being inflamed and
tender than at any later period, and
will demand closer attention and the
greatest care in milking. A cow suf.
fering from any disease of the udder
should be MIXED thoroughly three or
four times per day; under no circum.
stances should the udder be full and
distended any length of time.
Kindness, firmness and fearlessness
a-e necessary qualifications in n good
milker. One who cannot control his
temper, or who is afraid of a cow, need
not expect to become a successful
milker. Kindness is not thrown away,
even to an animal. L know it some.
times requires great deal of patience
to milk kicking cow, but if a person
is determined he can control himself
under almost any circumstances

Growing Potatoes.

When the writer was a boy the
method of planting potatoes was as
follows: The land was covered with
barnyard manure, furrow was
struck, and the seed dropped in the
furrow about a foot apart. Perhaps
draw into the furrow the manure from
an area of three burrows. Generally,
however, the manure was plowed un-
der as the plow came to it. The pota-
row. This method did well enough
in sandy soils, but think of planting
potatoes in this way in heavy clay
land. The system is not entirely oh.
solete yet, but 1t is with the best po-
tato growers. Still, as a rule, potato
ground is carelessly prepared We
read columns of advice as to prepar.
ing land for the potato crop. My land
is the black prairie soil of Illinois.
l am an advocate of fall plowlng In
general, but If / fall plowed for no
other crop, should do 1t for potatoes.
Just as soon as the ground can be
worked in the spring, I disk 1t both
ways. Just before planting, l disk
again one way. This destroys the
weeds and puts the land in good con-
dltion for planting.
Select the largest and smoothest
potatoes for seed, and cut to two
eyes, after having treated them with
a corrosive sublimate solution as fol.
lows: To from eight to ten ounces
of corrosive sublimate-which Is dead
ly poison and must be handled with
care-I add n gallon Of boiling water,
stirring 1t until the subllmate is thor
oughly dissolved. Then this is put
into a tight barrel and fifty gallons OF
cold water Is added, and the mixture
is thoroughly stirred. Put the solu-
tion in some kind OF a receptacle which
will enable you to immerse the pota-
toes properly. 1t can be divided Into
different barrels each holding enough
to cover n lot Of potatoes that have
been placed in gunny sack. Place
the potatoes In such sack, and put
them into the mixture, letting them
remain there for an hour, stirring the
sack occasionally in order that the
potatoes may become thoroughly wet
If the whole mixture can be put into
convenient tank, the potatoes can
be emptied directly into the liquid. In
a
hour to a drying door, which should be
so constructed that the potatoes can
drip, and the drlppings should be
saved In some way. When dry, cut
and plant, and If there are many good
potatoes to plant, potato planter VIII
be found economical, though many
good potato growers still plant pota-
toes without planter
In recent issue n writer stated
that he made the furrows with a
shovel plow, and 1t is an excellent
method. The rows ought to be about
three and q half feet apart and the
seed about fifteen inches apart in the
row. Cultivation should begin very
soon after planting at least as soon
as the weeds begin TO show. Ordlna-
rily potatoes may be narrowed with
profit, twice before most people begin
cultivation. Put in the cultiyator as
soon as the potatoes are well up and
the weeds start, and cultivate as long
as you can get through without injur
ing the vines, but after the second ol
third cultivation the ground should be
worked very shallow.-William Cor
ley, in Agricultural Epltomlst.

HELD TO A MINE SECRET
TRAGEDIES WHICH SURROUND A
LOST GOLD DEPOSIT.


Mollie Foxwater, an Indian squaw, Fur
nished Her Husbands with Plenty of
Money, But Murdered Them When
They Tried to Find the Source.
This Is the story of q lost gold mine
and the tragedies that surround it.
writes the Wichita (Kan) correspond.
ent of the Chicago Record A few days
ago an Usage Indian woman. Fox
water by name, was arrested at Tulsa
and placed in Jail on charge OF having
murdered four white men who have
been her husbands within the past ten
years. Their bleached bones were
lately found by Il prospecting party
Mt least they are supposed TO have
been the remains of the white men
and later the woman confessed to the
fact that they were. She confessed
that she killed these men because they
tried to wiring frcm her the secret of
the lost gold mine which she claims TO
know the whereabouts of. She refused
to tell them and they went in search
of 1t and with the knowledge they had
from time TO time picked up from her
were in good way to locate it. Then
she said she was compelled TO slay
them, as she would any one else who
would seek to carry away the gold of
her forcfathers.
Mollie FoXwatcr is not an ugly,
coarse-featured woman, rs many
squaws are, but she possesses many
of the refining features of her white
sisters. She has been well educated
and has also Travelled much. Ten
years ago she was married to n young
man by the name Of Mercer. He came
from Illinois TO the Indian country.
There had always been more or less
romance surrounding this maiden and
the fact that she possessed a secret
of lost gold mine was enough to
cause any young man with romantic
tendencies to seek her out Mercer did
so to his sorrow. He was married to
the young half-breed squaw, and she
furnished the money to take an ex.
tended wedding trip. He was given
plenty of money to spend and did not
nave to work, but all the time he
sought to know from whence this gold
came. One day he was missed by his
companions. She said he was tired of
living with her and that was all there
was to 1t. People supposed he had re.
turned to his home in Illinois.
