IN the winter keep the cow warm and

Never use rusty cans under any con-
sideration.
Don't keep hard-miIking COW, if you
value your time.
Always milk as quickly as possible,
and do it with clean dry hands.
Cream should be taken III the milk
while it is still sweet. IL possible.
Clean. bright food, in sufficient yari.

Two or three degrees of temperature
will make a great difference in ehurn-
ing.
Be on friendly terms With the calves
from the very first. Talk TO them and
pet them. -
Neye, disturb milk When cream is
rising or the butter globules will sink
never to rise again.
The good looking. round bodied COW
Is never a good one. The best dairy

MANY girls will have noticed | am
sure. that as our lives advance our am
billions are apt to become more sim
pie" writes Helen Spencer in the
Ladies' Home Journal 1.-The great
plans we had as girls of thirteen or
fourteen settle gradually in simpler
ambitions. We learn gradually to
know that in smaller duties better fit
ted to our hands lies the greatest hap
piness. and the possibility for fullest
and richest development. Almost ey-
cry girl, when she first begins to realize
that she will probably never fulfill all
her girlish ambitions because they are
many of them beyond her possibilities,
will have the inclination to give up as
the children say. This is apt to be the
beginning of real discomfort, and it
ought to be battled with. Let a girl
once try to fully realize what it means
to be the inspiration of some one per-
sons life, the sunshine in the darkencd
lives of some one or two people, and
she will then understa pd how it may
fill her life almost toHthe brim with
hardness

Rented Farms.

There seems to be lack Of system in
renting farms in this country. The
owner seems to expect that the tenant
will make no Improvement to land or
buildings, and to recompense himself
for the expected deterioration he
charges high rent, and to pay this the
tenant must take everything that he
can from it, and expend neither money
nor labor in making any permanent
improvement. In this way the rented
farm soon becomes rundown farm,
and after a few changes of tenants is
likely to be an abandoned farm. 1t
would be we'll if some one would study
the system of farm leasing in Great
Britain, where certain improvements
nre to be made each year by the tenant
and certain others by the landlord, and
where the farm is kept improving
while, in many cases, generation after
generation has lived in the same place,
paying about the same rent as they
would have to pay as interest, taxes
and repairs if they were owners of the
farm. When landlord and tenant are
each trying to skin the other, it usu-
ally results in SHINING the farm.

man Killed and Several Injured.
Fire broke ont at $3.50 a. m. Sunday in
the fve-story brick building at Broadway
and Franklin avenue, ST. Louis, occupied
by the dry goods firm Of Penny & Gen
ties and in a few hours had consumed
81 800 900 worth of property, caused the
death of one fireman and the serious in
jury of many others, and alarmed the
entire city The cry that the city was
burning succeeded in almost breaking up
the services in many downtown churches,
and for time it looked as if the cry
was to prove true. Only by the most
strenuous efforts of the tiremen was the
commission district saved.
Soon after the flames broke out the
entire building of Penny x Gentles was
enyeloped Sparks and brands were
blown in every direction by a strong
northwest wind, and the destruction of
adjoining property was threatened. A
general alarm was turned in, and soon
every engine in the city was at the scene
On the south OF Penny q Gentles' the
flames communicated with the buildings
occupied by Schaper Bros, dry goods,
and The Famous dry goods. The burn
ing area increased minute by minute, the
flames gaining great Roadway and leaping
across to the east side Of Broadway. In
short time a large empty store building
on the corner of Franklin avenue was
destroyed, with those directly south oc-
cupied by the Peoples House Furnishing
Company, the Marks millinery store,

1t is often desired to put tight foun-
dation under barn or other structure,
already built This is difficult mat
ter, particularly if the building is close
to the ground The foundation should
extend down below the frost line. How
shall the ditch be dug under the edge
of the barn? The illustration. from the
New England Farmer, shows an excel
lent plan. Dig a trench close to the
barn, and then dig in under the barn
to the required distance to accommo-
date the foundation stones. Exactly
under the edge of the barn, at the bot
tom of the wide trench, drive stakes
and put down a rough board. Now fill
In behind the board with loose stones,
put on another old board and continue
to fill in the loose stones until they
stand level with the surface of the
ground. The part of the trench outside
the boards can now be filed in with
earth, packing it down solidly, leaving
the old boards where they are. The fiat

The Wheat Harvest.

We scarcely realize that the wheat
harvest lasts the year through, yet such
is the case. In January they are har-
vesting it in Australia and in Argen-
tine. Through February and March
they will be busy in the East Indies
and in Upper Egypt. April will find
them busy at it in the wheat belts of
Asia Minor, India, Persia and in Mex
lea. One might finish in Mexico in
time to help his neighbors in Texas or
Florida in May, but he could scarcely
reach Japan or northern Africa in time
to do much. From June to September
he could, and many do, work north
ward within the limits of the United
States, and even into Manitoba. Peru
and southern Africa harvest it in No
vember. and Burmah in December.
So says a writer in one Of cur maya
zines.

GOEBEL PASSES AWAY
CLAIMANT TO KENTUCKY Gov

Victim Made Brave Struggle for
Life Beckham Assumes the Fnnc-
tons of Chief Executive.

William Goehel the Democratic claim
ont to the Governorship of Kentucky,
d:eiln his chambers at the Capital Hotel,
Frankfort, at 6:44 o'clock Saturday
evening from The effects of the gunshot
wound inflicted by an assassin. Mr..
Goebel fought against the end with all
the vigor and fortitule of his nature, and
persisted till he lost consciousness that
he would live, but the arch enemy slow
Iy bur surely conquered the wounded
leader.
Mr.. Goebels sister. Mrs. Herman Brun-
necke. and his brother, Arthur Goebel
of Cincinnati, were alone with him when
he died. They. remained with the lifeiess
form until the arrival, at 7:lO o'clock, Of
Justus Goebel, another brother. who had
been hurrying from Arizona to Frankfort
on special train. AS soon as dustus
Goebel reached the capital he hurried TO
his brothers apartments, where he found
Arthur Goebel and his sister weeping
over the body of the dead man.
The news of Mr. GoebelS death. al
though expected came at a profound
shock. 1t spread like wildire, and awful
consequences were again feared. At the
State House grounds extraordinary pre-
cautions were taken to put down any
disturbance which might arise.
Mr.. Goebel rested well Friday night
and early Saturday morning announced
that he felt better than he had at any
time since he was wounded. At his re-
quest ex-Congressman John II. Kendrick,
one of the Goebel leaders, was called into
his room and they We're in consultation
concerning the situation for an hour.
After that Mr.. Goebel asked for some
thing to eat. and light food was given,
but he could not retain it in his stomach.
The patient then began to sink and his
physicians realized that the end was but
question of q few hours, The doctors
tried to keep Mr., Goebel alive SyS The in

until his brother from Arizona could ar
rive but in this they We're unsuccessful.
The news of Mr.. Goebel's death rap
idly spread over the State. In half a
hundred cities Saturday night mass meet
ings were held deploring the assassination
and calling upon the people not to resort
to violence, but to allow the law to take
its course. AT many meetings Gov Tay-
Tor and the other Republican State Off
GERS were severely denounced.
Twenty minutes before the death of
Mr.. Goebel was publicly announced j. w.
Beckham, the Democratic Lieutenant
Governor, was duly sworn in as chief ex-
ecutive of the State by one of the Demo-
cratic Judges of the Court Of Appeals of
Kentucky.

was as easily carried about as is q good
conscience. The much be-plexted skirt is
heavy and grows heavier. Its advocates
claim that sheath skirt distributes the
weight and that the skirt band does not
pull Bit. But wearers know! Yet pull
az it may, skirt rleated all around but
for a plain panel in front is becoming
and stylish. In such the pleats are stitch
ed to the knees and from there are al
lowed TO fare. That means many yards
of material and unpleasant weight in win
ter stuffs. That fault could not be laid
to the skirt of this Sort that appears IN
the next picture, because it was biscuit
colored batiste. Its blouse bodice was
trimmed with embroidered white lawn
and was over a white lawn yoke. 1t was
dress that will serve very nicely now
| for informal house receiving. and later,
with a hat, will do in change with other
garden dresses. Apparently biscuit color
will have again the voguesit enjoyed last
season. Ribbon of that shade IS album
dant on the counters, biscuit colored
gloves are offered with an air of conf
dence when one asks for the latest, and
biscuit batiste, lawn and silk are already
| in great demand. which shows what color
the early spring dresses are to be.
The out and out automobile coat is
quite different from the garment of the
same name that is permitted in dressy use.
The severe sort is long all around so that
| the skirt worn is not shown. and 1t IS of
ample width so that when the wearer is
seated the skirt still is not exposed by
the parting of the coat fronts. The more
dressy long coat is likely 10 be trained in
the back as long as is tile skirt beneath,
while towards the front the garment
rounds up. These coats lap over. but do
not fasten except perhaps at the bust.
The idea of this is that the coat must be
easily slipped on and off. A high collar
is supposed TO protect the lower part of
the hair. and cozily to close in throat and
chin. When it comes to the sleeves the
question of getting the garment on and
loft has scant consideration, for the sleeves

in collar, yoke and front were polka dot
ted red silk. Between this and the
mauve cashmere of which the dress was
made was band trimming of gilt and
white silk passementerie. This was re-
peated for the narrow belt.
Such an arrangement will serve for
those who do not wish to go far from
well-establshed standards. Others who
have taste for experimenting and means
to crafty that taste, will give more atten-
ton to dresses of the grade of which the
three in the next illustration are repre-
sentative. In respect TO their belts they
display a fancy that appears in several
forms and that is likely to last. Fash
ionable women. at least, have become a
bit dissatisfied with the narrow round
belt, no matter how handsomely finished
the buckles or ornaments. They are
showing decided liking for bodice belt
of the peasant type, which begins just
under the bust line, clasps the figure firm
ly, is fitted to the waist at back and sides,
and is rounded down in front. Such a
belt of black velvet or of some dark, rick
color is a very pretty addition to a gown
of delicate material The first Of these
gowns was biscuit colored pastel cloth
handsomely elaborated with insertions Of
black net set over white silk and edged
with scroled white silk bands. a bodice
belt of black satin gives character TO the
bodice, which opened to show a pointed
yoke of white satin. Worn under jacket
fronts, as in the gown shown beside this
one, such a belt is made a little higher
and serves to give waistcoat effect This
gown was planned for informal reception
or church wear. and was of zinc-gray
cloth. The straight fronts of the jacket
opened over a dark blue taffeta bodice
belt made with a sharp point extending
below the waist lire. Above the belt
were white pleated lawn yoke and high
collar. Shoulder epaulettes Of embroid-
cred lawn gave a summary suggestion
indeed, the designer of the dress had
warm weather wear in mind. for it had a
number Of yokes. not only irglawn but
in satin and silk, in white, gray and
bright colors
The two uses of the bodice belt de-
scribed are distinct. and third employ
ment of ii that is quite as sharply de-
fined is shown in the third gown. Here
appears the form it takes as an accom-
paniment to short eton. This was a
waist of Persian printed China silk clasp
ed close by folded bodice belt of velvet.

Winter Work.

There is but little TO do in the fields
during this season, but the time for
planting corn will soon arrive, while
such garden crops as onions and peas
go into the ground very early. If the
weather permits the manure should be
hauled and spread on the ground before
spring, and the application of fertilizer
should not be delayed, especially if
potash is to be applied. 1t is better to
put fertilizer on the strawberry, rasp-
berry and blackberry locations while
the ground is cold than to delay, as TO
apply too late may cause injury in some
cases. This is the time for using crude
petroleum on fruit trees as a remedy
for the San Jose scale. and grapes, rasp-
berries and blackberries should be Civ
en- attention while the weather is cold.
Sometimes the spring opens early, and
it Will then be too late to cut back the
grape vines. The old canes of blackber-
ries should always be removed in Win
ter. The manure heaps should now be
worked over SO as to get the materials
in as fine condition as possible. Well
rotted manure gives more immediate
benefit to plants than does coarse litter,
and the winter is the season for prepar,
ing it.
