A jewel sachet is one of fashions
latest novelties. 1t 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

This is to hold the hatpins. On each
side of this pincushion is an inch of
space, and then come the pockets for
holding the various articles.
On o1@ side there are four small
pockets, each with a flap fastening

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
portion of the material is digestible,
the manure heap receiving the larger
quantity. The manuriaI value of
some OF the feeding stuffs is 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
their cost during some years is less
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 well
as to the animals, as the future prod
uct from the soil and the stock will
be largely influenced by their use.
certain proportion of food given to
an animal increases its weight, and
the product is then sent off the farm,
but the portion which is not digested
finds a place in the manure heap, and
is used over and over again, because
it enters into the composition of crops,
though it's supply of plant food is
diminished every year according to
the amount of product sold. Milk car
ries off a large proportion of nitrogen
and mineral matter, about nine
pounds of solid matter remaining in

Artistic bookbinding. so much neg
lected in recent years, says London
Madame, has lately had much more
attention paid to it, with the result
that there has been a marked i'm
provement in the quality of the de-
sign. The establishment few years
ago of the Guild of Women Binders
has contributed materially to bring
this about, and the work these ladies
have turned out has shown most en-
phatically how well fitted they are
for the production of the very best
results, in which evidence is given of
the highest artistic taste, combined
with splendid craftsmanship. In com
mon with so many other associations,
the Guild of Women Binders has pre-
pared an address for presentation to
the King, congratulating hi Majesty
on the coronation. The address is
illuminated in gold and colors ON vel
Ium and bound in green morocco with
16a iniays of cOlored leather, includ-
ing the doublures, or Innings. 1t was
designed by Miss Constance Karslake,
and the working of the cover was done
by her and Miss Dorothy Holmes.
The cover is an extremely beautiful
piece of work, but depending as it
does on color for its effect, the repro
duction which we give hardly affords
any idea of its loneliness.

Because animals are dumb and can

COLOR AND DYES.
Over 100000 Different Dyestuns Arc
AcceaaihIe.

Over 100000 Different Dyestuns Are
Accessible.
The paticular coloring matters
known as dyes are not only eminently
endowed with the power of selectiye
absorption in regard to light-a power
which causes them to appear colored
but their particles or atoms possess
strong faculty for wandering into
fibres and fabrics, and, moreover, of
becoming dissolved therein. This
wandering power and solubility in
solid materials, possessed to such a
high degree by dyes, distinguish them
sharply from ordinary colored sub
stances. In the former case the parti-
cles travel into fibre and are actually
soluble in it; in the latter case. al
though penetration proceeds, the ac-
tual solution of the color in the ma
terial is not effected. In short,
dyed fabric is nothing more than
solid solution of the dyestuff i'll the
substance of a fibre.
The number of artificial coloring
matters prepared since Perkins dis
covery. now nearly 80 years ago, has
been enormous. 1t is estimated that
at the present day over 100000 diff
ferent individual dyestuffs are easily
accessible to our industries. while at
least $4,000 form the subject of patent
specifications. The number of Color
ing matters furnished by natural
agencies is comparatively small and

tiyes Perkins great discovery has
led toa complete revolution Of the color

our disposal an infinite series of col
ors of every variety and shade.
Moreover, it is interesting to remem-
Der that the aniline dyes have proved
of great service i'll determining the
nature of disease. The germ theory
OF disease could not have developed

CultiVntin~ Corn.

Regarding the cultivation of corn,
a system of cultivation that will give
the highest yield under ordinary con-
ditions seems to be about as follows:
Cultivate deep during the earlier part
of the season to remove weeds, con-
serve moisture and allow the plant
an early. vigorous development Then
gradually decrease the depth as the
corn grows, until near the end of the
season, wnen cultivation should be
shallow and as far from the hill as
is consistent with removing weeds, in
order to avoid root pruning and to
leave the soil in the best mechanical
condition.

A LlttIe Sportsman.

A remarkable story of the pluck and
resource Of boy of seven comes from
Tourcoing, Germany. The boy was
taken mp in a balloon which broke
loose, but he managed his airship like
an experienced balloonist. When the
balloon had assembled some 5435 metres
he experienced difficulty in breathing
and promptly found relief in bottle
of sal ammoniac. Then he climbed
the lines, opened the vent and made
scientific and quite successful descent
into a field. Peasants ran to his as
sistance. The child remained the night
with his peasant friends, and was
brought away by his father in an
automobile next day. The boy was re-
ceived with cheers by his friends; lit
lie girls handed him flowers with the
description: ITO the Seven Year-Old
Balloonist."

Fowls suffer more from dampness
than from any other cause.
Fowls having free run will find
their own feather-making food
Male birds should not be allowed in
the same yard with moultiHg hens.
A liberal dust bath for the fowls
IS the best protection from vermin.
Late cabbages, that are too small
for market, make good food for hens.
Meal should be mixed dry and
crumbly; it causes illness when too
wet.
Feathers should be plucked dry.
Scalding detracts from the flavor Of
the icsh.
In selecting fowls for the farm pro-
cure those clean of limb, hardy and
wide rangers.
To give fowls employment hang up
ears of corn or a sheaf of oats with
in easy reach.
Tincture of iron in drinking water
will assist in toning up the system of
moulting fowls.
Don't forget to keep a box OF grit
handy for the hens. Indigestion Of
ten begins for want of it.
Fresh water should be given the
hens three times a day, and it should
always be kept in the shade.
When cleaning out the hen house
do not dump the jroppings out on the
ground to leach their strength away.

A specialist says that hairbrushes
should be washed once a week. and if
used on hair in which there is much
dandruff twice a week is not too often.
The brushes should be washed in cold
not hot water 20 which cloudy ammon-
ia has been added in the proportion of
scant tablespoonful to a quart Of

1t is in the country that most Of the
fatal accidents from lightning occur,
ard they arc about evenly divided be-
tween people who are struck in houses
and those who are killed in the open
or while seeking refuge under a tree.
To stand under a tree in a thunder
storm is perhaps, next to clinging TO
a lightning rod, the most dangerous
position that can be chosen. The
comparative safety of the modern city
from lightning is due to the network
of wires which covers it, and the num-
Der of tall buildings with iron points,
tin roofs, mecallic cutters and steel
frames connected with the water,
sewer and gas pipes, which form an
excellent system of conductors. Still
the city is not by any means absolute
ly protected, for when a cloud with
tremendous store of energy approaches
quickly, all the wires and pipes in
ten cities cannot prevent it from dis
charging recklessly right and left

Old Cnndlenticka Hirh.

With the increasing demand for an
uques the supply of mementos and rel
les Of past generations is becoming
exhausted, and the prices of genuine
pieces are waxing higher and higher.
Old candlesticks, for example, that
have had such continuous popularity
are scarce, and good specimens sell
for almost any price that the dealer
feels disposed to charge.
TO tell old brass, copper or pewter
from the modern imitation requires
long experience and a trained eye.
Brass varies much in color, it's shade
depending upon the proportion of cop
per and zinc used in its composition,
and also on the hue of the copper en-
ployed. Copper itself assumes a va
riety of compilations. The old Span
ish and Russian copper and brass
are both peculiarly rich in color and
retain their polish longer than others
In the old pieces there is a sickness of
texture not found in the sorts made
now. This is partly due it is said
to tie natural wear of the utensils. In
some cases, such as pots, kettles and
firebcXes, the action of heat may be
responsible, in part at least, for this
quality. Colonial furnishings are the
kinds most eagerly sought by coll

Coal oil is sure death to every louise
it touches, but does not always Kill
the eggs, and must be used with eau
ton to prevent blistering the skin of
the hog. When a large drove is treat
ed the work can be done very quick
ly by using spray pump having an
attachment for mixing the oil and
water, and the pump should be so that
it will use about FIVE parts of water
to one part Of oil. When such mix
ture is thrown over the hogs in a fine
spray, only a little of the oil is used
to cover the whole animal, and ii the
spraying is done in the evening near
morning and there will be no blister
ing of the skin when the hogs are eX-
posed to the hot sun on the following
day SO little oil is used in the spray
ing that few of the eggs will be killed,
and the work should be repeated at
the end of the week and again at the
end of second week, If the work is
thoroughly done three sprayings will
be Sufficient.
Lice never infest clean hogs when
they are not brought from an infested
drove, and the hog raiser who has
clean herd cannot be too careful to
keep it so. No stray hog should be
allowed on the premises, and any
which are purchased should be exam
ined very carefully before they are
to run with the others. The oil mix
ture should always be kept where It
can be used Immediately, if any indi-
cations of lice are seen.-U. S. Depart

The fatter a breeding SOW is kept
the more liable she is to destroy her
pigs by lying on them or eating them.
Sows left to run wild usually make
good mothers. and will generally Sc
lect a warm, dry place to farrow. 1t
is for this reason that there is so
much advantage IN using full-blooded
boars of improved breeds on large,
coarse-boned native sows. The pro-
geny secures the good qualities from
its sire, with a better constitution and
more hardness than it could get
from a full-blooded pedigree going
back through generations which have
always had ample feed and little ex-
ercise.
