and which is altogether a notable
specimen of the sartorial art.
1t is light blue in color and, says
the New York Herald, silk is the
usual material of which it is fash
toned. Over long gown, which is
copiously ornamented with en-
broidery and miniature paintings,
falls a loose wrapper, and beneath
this is a small jacket reaching to the
waist. Around the neck is a collar,
which is a distinctly European fea-
ture, but, on the other hand, above
this is headdress which is decidedly
Chinese and the latest invention of
a distinguished tailor in Peking
Thus, while Chinese ladies of high
rank dress in some respects like
their European sisters, they still con-
tinue to differ from them in some
very essential respects. 1t has been
coniectured that the reason may be
because they are determined not to
initiate them too closely, ard that
this is why they are now wearing
such a picturesque headdress.

E,ds i'm Portrait Painting,

One of the newest fads in portrait
painting is to portray the fair sitter
under the shade of her parasol. She
must seat herself in a garden chair
and must hold her parasol over her
head, so that its shade falls upon her
face. None of her features is hid
den, but she is as under becoming
canopy. A famous society painter OF
England is making specially of
these portraits, having done one of
Princess Victoria and another of
famous court beauty.

Never before have fashionable Ia

are showing now. Though like their
spouses they are conservative in al
most all things, they have not of late
been able to close their eyes to the
charm of modern fashions, and as a
result they are now wearing on fes-
tive occasions a costume which is

VALUABLE FARM BOOKS.

Principles of Agriculture. By Prof.
L. II. Bailey, of Cornell University.
Handsomely illustrated. 800 pages.
Price, $1.25.
We really do not believe that the
average North Carolina farmer can
anywhere invest 1926 to better ad-
vantage than by sending that
amount to Us for a copy of Prof. L.
H. Bailey's Principles of Agricul-
ture." This is a work which tells
the "whys and wherefores"-the
principles-of . the business" of
farming. 1t is written by a man of
great ability who knows his subject
by long years Of actual experience
and scientific study. The farmer
who secures a copy of this work
and studies it during his spare
moments this summer will not only
find much pleasure thereby, but will
find greater interest in his work, a
broader view of his profession and
the probability of making many
more dollars as a result of his study.
There are many books upon the
market, but not for many years, we
firmly believe, has n been issued
which the average reader Of this
paper so badly needs. The work Is

A SPECIAL PRICE.
We have now decided to send d
copy of this valuable work and a

which Ease clover or peas should be
grown and turned under every three
or four years. Pruning is some
times praoticed but spraying is, az a
rule, unknown.
In this region the borer has done
it's greatest damage, and the apple
worm, though destructive, is not yet
as bad as in the eastern and middle
sections. The few growers that
spray, however, have found that
their fruit is of vastly better quality
than when this operation is neg
lected. In the counties bordering
on Tennessee spraying is almost
wholly unknown, except in Haywood
county, where a few of the more
progressive farmers around Waynes-
vile have taken it up, and others
are being awakened to it's benefits as
they see the results. We do not
know of a single grower in Yancey
or Mitchell counties who sprays,
! though these r two of the best ap-
pie counties in the State. This is
but a proof of the statement already
made that in the western part of
the State these insidious foes have
not yet become so destructive as in
the east. They are destructive
enough, however, so that those
growers who IND give the spraying
a thorough test will be ardent advo-
Gates of the operation thereafter.
The writer is constantly in, cor
respondence with farmers, regarding
insects, etc., and he is thus in a posi-
ton to speak with certain knowledge
on these matters. Those who desire
any information on the matter of
spraying, etc may obtain it by cor
respondence with the undersigned.
This work is being done for the bene.
fit of the people of the State, and
they T expected to make use of it.
Results of these Investigations will
be published from time to time in
the Bulletin which is issued every
month by the Department eff Agri-
culture at Raleigh, and which is sent
free to all that request it.
All inquiries about insects should
be accompanied by specimens when
it is possible to obtain them. All
such inquiries will receive the care
full attention of the writer.

One of the greatest mistakes made
by u farmers is that they do not
keep accounts of their income and
expenses. It is a wonder to me how
any one can expect to make the high
est success without keeping accounts.
If a manufacturer or merchant
would start into business without a
set of books, it would not be long
until he would find himself a bank
rupt. I hold that bookkeeping is
quite as essential to the successful
farmer as to the manufacturer or
merchant. Many who are not farm
ers seem to think that so long as a
man can hold to the pillow he is all
right for a farmer. They are not
aware of the fact that farming is g
science which requires some educa-
ton, much thought and a fair share
of common sense. Buy a blank book
Of some kind, have two columns,
one marked s'income," and the other
"expense." By thus keeping In ac-
count of every cent which comes in
or goes out, you~w will soon know
whether you are making or losing

second cause, I let the hogs in it too
soon; second effect, failure. The
answer to the problem is let your
rape get a good start, say a foot er
more, before turning in stock. Other
readers have, no doubt, made the
same mistake and may fault the
rape, whereas the fault is that they
do not know how to use it.-Chas.

A number of moth catchers are be-
ing advertised by various farm
papers, which traps are said to catch
and destroy great numbers of the
codling moth. Prof. Stedman, how
ever, says the cooling moth can't be
caught by any such an arrangement
as a lighted lamp in a tin frame at
the bottom of which is kerosene, and
in fact the orchardist is just as apt
to catch as many friends as foes, by
such a continuance.

Farm Miscellany.
PIGS AND cows.

correspondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
The dairyman Of to-day is of neces-
sitv a breeder of swine. The two go
together so thoroughly that it would
be a waste of good material and OPP
portunity to neglect either. There
can be no doubt that nature intended
that the pigs should be the compan-
ion of the COWS in the clover field.
But more than that the swine should
be fed on the skim milk that comes
from the dairy. Pigs and shoats
will thrive on this skim milk as on
nothing else. The milk fed in this
way will yield a larger profit than if
sold in the ordinary market, where
only a few cents a quart can be OBJ
tanned, and often not that. The
waste of time and material in trying
to find a good market for skim milk
is the most encouraging feature
of the dairy business. Many a man
has been induced to leave the bust
ness entirely on account of this.
After settling up his accounts for
the year he has found that he was
nc gamer for the years work.
The only actual sure way of max
ing money is to have a well-organ-
lied dairy and pig farm. Enough Of
the latter should be kept at all times
te consume the skim milk. By rapid
growing and selling, turning the
money over quickly, a good profit
can be made for every quart of skim
milk fed. Some keep their pigs too
long. 1t is better to sell them as
young pigs than TO wait until they
are SO fat that few want them. A
good, healthy pig, with plenty of
lean and fat on his sides. will usually
sell better than the excessively fat
hog. The clover and grass will
Away help to make the pigs grow,
aud on a diet of good clover and
plenty of skim milk there is no dan
ger of hog cholera or other swine
disease in the hottest of weather.
Corn and dry grain are the breeders
of disease and illness in hogs during
the summer, and it is a mistake to
attempt it. The hog cholera is I'M
doubtedly the product of over-heated
blood, s~uperinduced by heavy corn
and grain feeding. We cannot stamp
the disease out until we change the
diet. Let that be skim milk and
green clover and grass from the first
of June until the end of September,
and any man can raise as fine a flock
of clean, healthy swine as any mar
ketman could ask for. And the
market for such animals is always
reacy with prices far more constant
than for most farm products.

We are glad to say that we had Bro.

with US. After the Alliance was
opened, we left off business and
called on Bro. Parker to give US a
lecture, which he did. His remarks
we're based mostly on the Importance
of organization. For about one hour
and d half Bro. Parker told US prac-
teal truths in an interesting way.
After Bro. Parker's talk an inter
mission was given for dinner, after
which we transacted the business of
the Order.
l am proud to say that l believe
that the farmers of Wilson are wax
ing up somewhat to a sense of their
duty. We are glad to hear that the
Alliance in adjoining counties is
booming.
Brethren, let US stand firm. The
outlook is Frightening.
