Red Ton for Eornxo

Red top (Agrostis alba), already es-
eaohshed In places in northern Nevada
and southern Oregon, could, without
doubt be more extensively introduced
IN many of the moister bottom lands.
Instances have been cited where it was
making a good crop, and it will. with
out doubt, grow well on the lowlands
wherever the native clovers abound.
1t is pronounced by experts one of the
most promising plants for the i'm
provemept Of portions of the bottom
lands. No finer quality of hay could
be desired than that which is furnished
In localities at the present by this
grass and the native clovers.

not only as washers between the evil
lnder heads and sides Of box, but
serve to reinforce the heads and
hold the axles more firmly. Drive q
1A-inch mortise clear through the
blocks and heads of cylinder. Take
2 2-inch/ hardwood pins and square
one end to 1h-inch plump, and drive
firmly into the mortise flush with
inside of cylinder heads. The axles
must be left sufficiently long to
reach outside the box when the COM
pleted cylinder Is hung ready for
use, and one must be long enough to
mortise on piece at right angles
Tor the crank. II both project 4 or
inches outside the box IL will
be all the better, as they will serve
as handles for lifting the cylinder
out and into the box Cut 80 stats
"a by l inch IS inches long and
slightly round the corners, which
will be inside where the Stats are
nailed on TO the cylinder ehads. Nail
"a Stats one-halt inch apart around
the heads and the remaining space
will be the door or cover of the evil
Under. Take two pieces of light
harness tug 10 inches long and screw
the remaining Stats on to the pieces
Of tug one-half inch apart the same
as on the cylinder heads, only the
strips of tug must be fastened TO
upper side of Stats, so that the evil
inder will be perfectly smooth in
side. This door may be held in place
with heavy leather or iron hinges
or by two small wooden or iron but
tons on each cylinder slat next To
the door. With Pinch riece 1
foot in length mortised on to the
outer end of one axle at RIGHT angles
and a pin through the lower end to
serve as crank, the washer is com
plete, and at cash outlay of al
most nothing. a three-quarter inch
hole may be bored through one end
OF the box just on level with the
bottom for letting off the water.
fll the cylinder with roots, fasten
the door Fad hang in the box. Use
plenty OF water and revolve slow
ly for a minute or two, and the
roots will be cleaned perfectly. ANY
man at all handy with tools can
make the washer IN q few hours
time and its use will save hard and
costly hours of labor over hard worl,
In one season. OF course, If one has
the money to hire it made, and pre-
1ers dressed lumber with iron or
nickel mounting, and desires to paint
and decorate, using turned OF carved
legs there Is no objection, and it

machine.-J. e. Morse, In Rural New

GOOD TIMES COMING.
Sever Before Have Things Looked
as bright for the American
Farmer as Just Now.

Cheering reports Of excellent crops
come from all over the east. In place
OF the distressing walls of drought and
famine of grain and fodder that came
from all parts of the corn belt last
year, come reports of crops SO plentiful
that they will be almost burdensome to
handle. This should cheer not only the
farmers who are more Immediately
benefited by the bountiful crops, but
the whole industrial lines of business
and the labor. Railroads already see
the necessity of enlarging their equip
ments to handle the increased business,
producing more labor for the skilled
workmen who produce locomotives
and cars, and more men will be needed
in actual service on the roads and in
handling the grain. Returns from the
sale of these enlarged crops and the
live stock produced will put much cur
rency in the hands of the farmers to
buy whatever they need-and there
are no better buyers than prosperous
farmers. New buildings will be erect
ed on thousands of farms. New wagons
and carriages, harness and equipment
for the farms will appear that would
not have left the dealers stock had
there been a poor or medium crop.
Business will be given remarkable
stimulus, the effect of which will be
evident the country over. Best Of all
will be a reduction In the cost of liv-
ing to the whole populace of the coun-
try, without damage to the farmers
and producers of live stock. The re-
duced cost of grain and fodder will en-
able them to produce all classes of food
animals at less expense, and obtain
fair profits at considerably lower
market prices than were paid last
year. There is little probability that
the spring and early summer months
next year will be marred by such dis
cordant wrangling over the high cost
OF meat and az other classes of food.
This years bountiful crops afford In
surance against a repetition of the I'M
fortunate conditions Of last year, when
meats of every class were more ex-
pens1ve than they had been In 20 years.

tailor built, and are charming and de-
sirable in every way. While many OF
the models are quite similar In style
and design to those we have been ac-
customed TO gaze upon throughout the
past summer, others show many rad
ical changes. The strictly tailor made
shirt waist, in pearl gray and cream
tinted broadcloth, Is perhaps the one
most sought after at the present time
Later on, however. when winter wraps
are in demand. the shirt OF soft silk
will take its place. The flannel shirt.

can be made very smart indeed, IL you
only add the softening touch of the
new chiffon cravat and collar. Speak
ing OF collars reminds me to tell YOU
that Dame Fashion once more smiles
benignly on the high collar, but like
everything else she approves of this
season, II combines beauty with COM
fort. II ia most generally mounted
on a piece Of soft batists, which IL
sufficiently stiff TO keep high up 70 the
neck
The millinery of the moment is
charming and 80 varied in stvl4 and
shape that It would seem an utter
impossibility for any woman to fall
into the mistake of buying unbeeom-
ing headgear. FouIard scarves and
fancy plaid ribbon play quite an i'm
portant part in the matter of decora-
ton on hats worn by young girls.
Birds and wings are much sought aft
er for trimming the soft French felt
hat, while for ornamenting dress hats
Jeweled clasps are quite the proper
caper. On some of the handsomest
hats made Of lace and velvet as many
as five Of these fancy clasps-which
usually take the form of flower petals
ARE placed round the crown, and
Jeweled embroideries laid in between.
Now what abouS wells? AT this par-
ticular season of the year these are
an absolute necessity, if you wish to
preserve your complexion and keep
your hair tidy. Washing net wells are !
charming and always fashionable, but |
l can never understand how anycne
can see through them. Personally. I |
have come TO the conclusion that the
same difficulty exists where those de- |
hghtful white washing chiffon wells
are concerned. White tulle is vastly |
becoming but it, too, is not pleasant |
to look through; and then It is very ]
extravaganza wear. for after one APP |
pearance it is usually only fit to dump |
In the rag bag. When all is said and |
done, the wise woman invariably turns
TO the old, reliable black Russian net |
OF the clearest and frmest mesh. It's
wearing qualities are not of the high
est order, to be sure, but it is cool,
keeps unruly hair in place, and, last
and best, is delightful to see through.

popular for fall tailor gowns, as they
tone so delightfully."- with the land
scape. Tweeds are all more or less
in demand, their oolorings are partic-
ularly good, and they are generally
becoming. Flannel tailor gowns-in
the coat and skirt yariety-are to be
reckoned among the most sought-aft-
er models. They come in rich shades
of blue and dark brown, their ONLY
decoration being narrow bands of silk
taffeta, IL a corresponding tone of
color. The black tailor gown fash
Toned of light weight broadcloth is as
usual IN very general demand. The
prettieSt models are made with kilt
pleated skirts, and jaunty little three
quarter coats, lined with white satin.
The somewhat somber tone is prettily
relieved by means of an inner vest
fashioned OF white silk muslin, daintily
embroidered by hand in soft shades of
green and yellow silk floss. The skirts
of all the newest tailor gowns are
made to just clear the ground, and
when kilt-pleated--as nine out of ten
are--Do other attempt at decoration Is
made. The kilt-pleats usually extend
to the knee in front, the fancy OF the
moment being TO have them graduate
in length as they near the back of the
skirt. 1t is very pretty fashion, but
through its very Prettiness it may be-
come altogether too popular.
But now let me whisper a word or
the fashions present and to come in
the way of outer garments. Taken as
a whole they have never been more
beautiful. Some are quaint, others
picturesque, and all are out of the or
binary run of street garments We
have had the three-quarter coat for
some time in the form of the evening
cloak, but now we are going to have
1T for street wear, made perfectly
tight-htting and trimmed with braids
and strappings galore. So far ID has
