Little Folks Coats.

Box shapes prevail in children's
coats again this fall. the prettiest
ones being somewhat full in the
skirts, causing them to hang more
gracefully. In cloth coats plain col
ors are most desirable. Black taffe-
tas and moires, warmly interlined,
will be much worn, and velvets are
being made up. Among some of the
coats ready for the fall counters was
noted smart little coat of navy blue
cloth, with the emblem of the navy
embroidered on the sleeve. Another
was dark green corduroy Russian
blouse, and another a bright red kerr
sey box coat. with small turnover col.
lar of red velvet and large white but
tons. The new coats have extreme
slope" effects, the waist high in the
back and low in the front.

A Sachet for Jewels.

A jewel sachet is one of fashions
latest novelties. II is not difficult to
make, and is at the same time or
namental, useful, and convenient. In.
stead of box this sachet can be
slipped into a travelling bag, or into
the large pockets which many women
wear under their dress skirts. Ban
giles, brooches, chains, hatpins, and
other odds and ends are kept in vari-
Gus pockets, while the whole sachet
folds up into small compass, and is
encircled with ribbon. A broad sash
ribon-one with flower design on
white or pale ground for choice-is
best for the purpose. It should meas
ure s or 10 inches across; IL inches
is the length. A piece Of coarse brown
linen or canvas should first be cut
to this size, then covered with cham
ois leather. Down the centre a piece
of wadding covered with fancy satin
or silk, measuring inches across,
should be neatly stitched by machine.
This is to hold the hatpins. On each
side Of this pincushion Is an inch of

holding the various articles.
On one side there are four small
pockets, each with a flap, fastening
over the pocket by button; on the
other side are two only. made in
the same way. The pockets are made
of the chamois leather, neatly bound
with silk braid. Glove buttons and
little loops finish off each the button
being on the pocket and the loop on
the flap. There are also two flaps,
one at each end of the long pincush-
ion, which meets in the centre and
button over. Thus everything is SAFE
ly protected. The whole sachet Is
bound with the silk braid, and the
same is stitched up each division be-
tween the pockets. The flaps are
rounded, and are sewn on to the can
vas first, before the pocket pieces.
The pockets are sections of one long
piece, measuring inches wide. The
outer covering of silk is laid on at
the last, just prior to the binding of
the whole. The chamois leather Is
excellent for keeping jewelry in. Col

ferred, but is much moro expensive

The woman who by her own clever
fingers and tasteful ideas succeeds in
supplementing her wardrobe enjoys
a pleasure and satisfaction unknown
to those who rely only upon their
dressmaker, and to whom the question

Women of limited means do a sur
prising amount of their own work in
this way, and the effective costumes
they produce for themselves is evil

MAKING GIG TRAYS.
a Method Of Making Ones That Are
Absolutely Waterproof.


The development of bromide en-
largements and the use of large sized
plates render necessary dishes of a
size which are very expensive to pur-
chase and often very unmanageable
on account of their excessive weight
especially II they are of glass or por-
celain. In consequences of the ex-
pense homemade trays are often en-
plcyed, but these are very likely TO
leak and then become very bother
some. Perhaps the most general ex-
pedient is the lining of wooden tray
with oilcloth or sheet rubber, but such
a tray usually has wrinkles and folds
on the bottom. and hence is not par
ucularly economical of solutions. be-
sides being very likely to leak. Sheet
lead may be employed as lining,
but the trays then become very heavy,
A process frequently advocated is the
painting of the inside OF a wooden
tray with asphaltum to make II water
tight. In order TO make this effec-
tive. several thin coats must be given.
with thorough drying between, and II
will then be found that he asphaltum
will not resist the prolonged action
of Photographic chemicals. The pro
cess which we found to be most effec-
tual Is to paint the tray with a coat
of glue to which has been added or
6 per cent of bichromate of potassium
BY exposing to sunlight for two or
three hours. the coating becomes alb
solutely waterproof. We usually give
three or four coats of glue. with thor
ough summing after each. and find that
the resulting tray leaves little to be
desired for lightness and durability.

Feeding MIL Prod ucts.

The amount of foods purchased ev-
cry year by farmers. for the use of
live stock, is enormous, and some
farmers sell everything but hay and
fodder, depending on the mill prod
ucts for preventing loss Of fertility.
Nearly all dairy farms would soon be
reduced in plant food but for the food
stuffs brought on the farm. Only a
portion of the material is digestible,
the manure heap receiving the larger
quantity. The manurial value of
some OF the feeding stuffs is. s.greater
than the food value, especially when
care is exercised in preserving the
manure. Bran. middlings. linseed
meal. cottonseed meal, gluten meal
and other concentrated materials feed
both the animals and the land, and
than the value of the actual plant
foods contained by them. In esti-
mating their value on the farm they
should be credited to the land as we'll
as to the animals. as the future prod
uct from the soil and the stock will
be largely influenced by their use. A
certain proportion OF food given to
an animal increases its weight, and
the product is then sent of the farm,
but the portion which is not digested
finds a place in the manure heap. and
is used over and over again. because
1t enters into the composition of crops,
though its supply Of plant food is
diminished every year according TO
the amount of product sold. MILK car

gradually decrease the depth as the
corn grows, until near the end of the
season. when cultivation should be
shallow and as far from the hill as
is consistent with removing weeds, in

leave the soil in the best mechanical

this about, and the work these ladies'

results, in which evidence is given of
the highest artistic taste, combined
with splendid craftsmanship. In COM

Because animals are dumb and can
not ask for what they need, 1t some
times happens, through carelessness
or forgetfulness. that they are de-
prived of that which Is essential to
their welfare. 1t is easy for man to

but. an animal can. only long for II

There is large percentage of salt
In the composition of the body, par
ticularly in the blood and cartiages,
and this is constantly being given OF
through perspiration. the kidneys, etc +,
ant the waste must be supplied or the
body suffers.
On the other hand, in the case on
sailing cattle pastured in distant
fields, where quite trip has to be
made from home to reach them, this
Is sometimes done at long intervals,
and large quantity of salt is taken,
seemingly with the idea of making up
for the lack of 1t in the mean time.
The cattle. not having had any for
so long. devour 1t eagerly, and In larg.
or quantities than they should, and the
effect is frequently harmful. 1t would
be found more advantageous to make
the trip oftener and with less salt
at time.
Cattle thrive best on a variety of
food, and in digesting this a certain
amount of salt is necessary to obtain
the best results. Should this be CIV
en-, not only will he cattle be comfort
able and not likely to get out of con.
dition. but they will return larger
percentage of gain to their owner
