DEHoRNING RACK.

tween these, about three inches to one
side of the middle, is bolted another
piece which extends down to the base.
Opposite the middle from this is a
stanchion. 1t is mortised loosely at the
bottom and should work easily between
the two boards at the top and should
be so placed that when upright it will
allow six inch space. A few holes are
bored through the boards at the top to
fit the animals neck
On each side of the rack, about four
feet high, is a cross tie. To these and
to the crosspieces in the middle be-
low are nailed boards, making a kind
boards at the bottom a three inch
board is laid for a floor. This rests
behind on the frame and in front on a
board bolted to the frame, which could
not be shown in the drawing. Near the
bottom of the stanchion and in front Is
fastened an eyebolt to which ten foot
rope is tied. About a foot from the eye
bolt hook is driven, and the device is
complete The animal is led into the
rack from behind and the stanchion
closed by putting pin through one of
the holes at the top behind it. The rope
is then put over its neck or once
around it and, after drawing down
tight, is wrapped around the hook.
An enterprising farmer may pay the
cost of making his rack by doing worl,
for his neighbors. The customary
charge is Is cents per head in consider
able numbers and more for smaller
number If any one wishes to follow
this plan, it would be well to have a
frame made of two inch lumber to fit
the wagon on which to haul the rack.
On one side of this frame is fastened a
roller two feet long, as shown in the
figure, so that the top shall be level
with the top of the frame. To load the
rack turn it up on end and drive the
wagon near it, when it may be rolled
up on the roller.

CLOTHING THE BOYS.
HOW TO MAKE VACATION SUITS FOR
LITTLE MEN.

Some of the rntricacies of Blouse
and Knickerbocker Making Ex-
planned - Materials Which Wear
Well.
copyright, 1901, by American Press Assocation.l
The Russian blouse is the prevailing
style for all the small boys and some
who are quite large. For those under
this is the most fashionable suit
The Russian blouse suit consists of
knickerbockers, or pantaloons, made
wide and gathered at the bottoms and
worn SO that they cover the knees.
The blouse comes down nearly to the
knees. The materials most suitable
for this special suit for spring are dark
cheviot, serge, armure and in fact al
most any wooden stuff in solid color,
for, while kilt suits in plaid are pretty
and suitable, a blouse suit of this
shape is not adapted to plaid. For
warmer days galatea, linen, pique,
seersucker and denim are all suitable
and found ready made.
1t should not be forgotten that small
girls can wear the Russian blouse as
well as the boys; but, except for rough
outing wear, the knickerbockers give
place to the skirts. There are two
ways of making the blouse-one hay
ing the back plain and the front SIM
ply gathered in the center at the neck
and the opening at one side or the 9TH
er. This opening is also made diago-
nally at the will of the maker, and
sometimes the garment opens from top
to bottom diagonally. This is most Of
ten done in the coat, for the Russian
coat is fayorite and is made of every
thing one can imagine, the dark green
velutina being one of the richest.
Leather belts with big harness buckles
fasten them.
Some have wide sailor collars added,
but they do not belong on Russian
blouse. To make one for child Of,
say, 1t requires three yards of goods
SO inches wide. The back is cut in one
piece and is laid in two box plaits from
the shoulder to the belt. The lower
part is left open. The front is also
cut from one width of the goods and
has the neck and arm sizes followed
out to the right shape. and then the
opening is cut down, and piece is set
on and turned over and stitched, like
the illustration. The coat may open at
the right or left. as one may wish.
The seams are then sewed up and the

After the stable is fixed. the cows in
