the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, of which she is the president,
Mrs. Lowe has been long known in the
south as a wealthy and philanthropic
woman. She has handsome home in
the aristocratic quarter of Atlanta, and
there .dispenses notable hospitality
amid the most luXuriant surroundings.
First attracted to club life during
the Cotton States and international ex-
position, she became imbued with the
idea at once, and it was at her home that
the Woman's club of Atlanta was born.
From this beginning the Georgia Fed
Grafton grew, and Mrs. Lowe was unan-
imously elected its president. In 1898
she was elected presiding officer of the
general federation at the Denver con,
vention. The work of spreading the
club idea among the women of the south
fell to her lot, and few have any COM
plant to make of the success she has
made in this somewhat stubborn field.
Mrs. Lowe has crossed the meridian
of life, but she is still youthful in ap-
pearance, and though not q large wom-
an has an imposing appearance and is
al eACellcht anu IMPRESSIVE spShhSi'
She is of rather slight stature, her eyes
are blue, and her brown hair is tinged
with gray. she wears eyeglasses,
dresses with elegance and taste and has
the charming, easy manners that per-
| tain to the ladies of the south. How she
is held in estimation of the members
of the general federation may be gath
cred from the fact that shea south
erner-could find friends enough to
elect her the executive head of this tre-
mendously large body of American
women, the vast majority of whom live
in the north.
Before her marriage Mrs. Lowe was
one of the most beautiful and popular
bellies in the south. She has son and a
married daughter.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

The best manure for permanent pas
lures is top dressing of ground bone.
From 1900 to 1900 pounds an acre will
show permanent effect for seven OF
eight years following.
A good way to reduce bones for fer
tilizing purposes is to break them into
fragments and place in layers in o
heap of fermenting manure-fresh ma.
nure from the stables, for example.
Never use the land roller when the
ground is wamp enough to become i'm.
pacted, is good advice, but to the grain
grower be sure to use it when the
ground is in proper condition, is equally
good.
Painstaking French farmers not in
frequently select the finest heads OF
grain, from which they raise what may
be called mother-plants, as sources OF
future seed. Generally the heaviest
heads are laid aside for the purpose.

see mowers, harvesting machines.

machinery just where it was last used

kind of experimenting is all done at the

Two sides of sheen Rnising.

Sheep raising affords a profit aside
from the wool produced. But many
farmers seem totally blind to this fact.
They do not seem to consider that the
sheep is a mutton producer as well as a
wool producer, and that mutton has a
good cash value. Time will come when
there will be growers for both mutton
and wool, each specializing. This is
true to-day to some extent. There are
special wool and distinct mutton types,
though a good many sheep raisers seek
breed combining both qualities. How
ever, either type is valuable for more
than its one special product-wool OF
mutton, and in order to secure the larg-
estprofit from sheep breeding attention
should be given the mutton considera-
tions.-Farmers' Voice.

FOR THE BRIDE-ELECT.
Linen, Book and Rose Showers Are
Becoming Popular All Over
the Country.

The bride of to-day is being made the
recipient of many social honors. All
her girl friends pay her tribute by
these pretty entertainments, and the
popular maid must be ready for her
wedding several weeks before the event
transpires, for at each of the fupc-
tions she is supposed to wear one of her
trousseau gowns. Most of these af-
fairs are luncheons or breakfasts, each
with a special feature. A Linen
shower" for instance, consists of each
guest bringing piece of linen, a doiley,
centerpiece or bureau scarf, whatever
the table the pieces are thrown at the
bride-to-be.
For "book shower" each guest
brings a book appropriately inscribed
to her friend, with sentiment which
the giver fancies. OF course, each hos
tess can use her own ideas in planning
her entertainment, and in her invita-
tions puts in one corner what each
guest is to bring for the honored one.

"a friend of mine-a woman of ideas
as well as means-has fitted up a
room on the second floor, a pretty
room at the side of the house, and
given it to the servants in which to
receive their friends. 1t is not merely
carpeted and furnished with six
chairs. 1t was made artistic at very
moderate cost. A breadth of mating

walls were denim-covered and hung

floor was stained and laid with cheap,

placed on the couches; here and there
were stained pine shelves for books,

were at the windows, and n bit of pot
terry stood on n shelf above the door.
The room was arranged at an expense
which was hardly to be mentioned, and
it was very artistic and comfortable.
SIN this room the servants took
turns, arranging their evenings to suit
themselves. They might entertain
your milkman, the green grocer's boy
or an honest young laborer-that was
their lookout. The guests came up the
back stairway, and the room was
theirs.

THE SONG OF THE PIG.

The horse secures the warmest stall-he
gets bed of straw,
And every dainty bit of grain goes straight
into his nav;
It's oats and hay for Dobbin and a hot
bran mash for Grey,
But let the piggy live on swill, and what
they throw away.
The COW is called the butter queen; she's
carded every day,
The pig must go and card himself, or else
uncarded stay.
The silo's fragrant mess is heaped w to
the hangers rim,
The moldy part is pggy's share-that's
good enough for him!
Work horse, driving horse, cow and sheep
and hen;
Eggs and butter, wool and work, every
one with pull,
Cream yours culls are mine, hrag away
but then,
I'm the chap that pays the rent, and
keeps the barsel full!
The farmer always takes his friends to ses
the shining colt;
They linger at the latest tool and tighter
every bolt.
They always grease the buggy wheel ts
tighten Dobbin's task,
But mighty seldom do 1 get the simple
things / ask.
I furnish meat to feed the farm, and yet
ungrateful men
To eat piece of custard pie will go and
court the hen.
Deal gently with the good old cow-heI
feelings might be hurt,
But jump on piggy's feelings, for they're
only made of dirt.
Work horse, driving horse, cow and sheeB
and hen,
You have got the softest job ever, even
knew
Cream yours. culls are mine, brag away
but then.

DRAFT HORSE POINTS.
Every Feature of the Animal should
Indicate ISindIincss, Intelligence
and strength.

Size is an important item in the
draft horse, provided, of course,
that his disposition is such that his
size and strength can be used to ad-
vantage.
The 1000 or 1,300-pound horse cam
not draw the load that the 1,soo-pound
horse can, so that the buyer of a good
draft team usually wants them as
large as possible, provided they are
as good as they are big.
While there will always be a consid-
cradle difference of opinion among
buyers on minor points, in general the
main points will be similar.
The neck should be deep, but not
too thick above, and should appear to
be part of the animal rather than
stuck on. The head, neck, ears, and,
indeed, the whole horse, should indi-
cate kindliness, intelligence, energy
and vigor.
The shoulder must be strong and
muscular, and should stand at nearly
right angles, as he will thus get hold
| Of his load better. In coach or car
riage horse sloping shoulder is de-
sirable, but not so in a heavy draft
| horse. While the leg should be clean
below, it should be well muscled above,
with strong, well-defined tendons, es-
pecially behind and gracefully thick
ening and widening up the arm and
thigh, until their outlines are lost in
a symmetrical arch at their connection
with the body. Such formation sets
the legs under the horse, rather than
stuck on his sides and ends like the
legs Of trestle. A horse may get
along if he is little loose in front
but any weakness behind units him
for draft purposes. An open gait be.
hind is often desirable in trotter but
draft horse must travel with his legs
under him, rather than spraddled.
The hind legs are the fulcrum upon
which the power and the load must
rest in heavy draft horses and it is i'm
portant that they be in the best posi-
tion of correct formation. A deep
well-sprung rib makes room for large
healthy vital organs. A large, sound
middle, with full flank. denotes goot
feeding qualities, while being wei
ribbed denotes an easy keeper. A
short, strong back and long, heavy
muscular quarters are elements o
strength as well as of beauty.-St
Louis Republic.
