There is always IN excellent substi-
tute for clover and timothy when the
hay crop is short, and that is millet.
1t is a quick-growing summer crop
that may be seeded in May or June,
and it seldom fails to produce a large
yield of hay. 1t is also one Of the best
cradicators of weeds that can be used,
and it grows so rapidly as to crowd the
weeds to destruction. A crop of Hun
garian grass may also be seeded down
for II summer yield of hay, as it may
be moved three or four times during
the season, being also, like millet, a
weed destroyer.

warehouse standing on the river bank
was undermined and caved in. All the
business houses and factories below the
dam We're abandoned. Passenger train
No. 3 on the g., II. /. & +. was held three
hours until the water receded. Intense
excitement was caused by the sudden
rush of water, and the fire whistle was
sounded to warn the people living along
the now famous Dry Rum The water
came down in a mighty wave and forced
twenty families from their homes. No
one was drowned, but two or three per-
sons had narrow escapes. For short
time the business streets on the west side
We're almost two feet under water. The
damage caused by flooded easements,
etc., will amount to about $4,000.

PUTTING CLOTHES AWAY.
There Is an Art in It Which once Ac- quired Aids in Making Smart
 Appearance.

The woman who knows how to put away her belongings is not only neat, but economical and generally smart in appearance, says the New York Times. When she comes in from walk, she never hangs up her coat by the loop inside the collar, if she puts it away in the closet she uses coat hanger-if she leaves it around the room knowing she may need it soon, she disposes it over the back of a chair that will keep it in shape. The skirts of her own gowns never have stringy look because they are always hooked and then hung up by two loops. For tailor-made skirt she uses small coat hanger with the ends bent down little; this keeps the skirt in excellent shape and causes it . to hang in even folds. The strings of her underskirts are tied and the gar ment is hung up by the loops, thus never showing a hump where 1t has rested on the hook. For the same reason her shirtwaists are always hung up by the armh oles unless they nave hanging looPS' waists have both sleeves and body stuffed with tissue paper, and are then laid in drawers or boxes.
 Shoes are easily kept in shape by slipping a pair of trees into them as soon as they are removed from the feet. If trees are not available, news paper will do. if it is stuffed in tight. It is we'll to roll each veil on a stiff piece of paper; a single fold will often spoil the set of veil and some times even mar the expression of the face. Gloves should always be re- moved by turning them wrong side out; they should be turned back again, blown into shape and each finger smoothed out. Ties, especially four in-hand or golf ties, should be hung to avoid creasing.
 Hats of course, should be kept out of the dust and placed so that the trimming will not be disarranged. This disposition depends so much on the hat and the available space that each woman must use her own in- genuity. However. it is safe to say that no hat should be laid flat down on the shelf. Furs, also, should be protected from the dust, and muff should always be stood on end.

NECKWEAR FOR WOMEN.
New Stocks and Bows That Are Ex- ceedinsly Effective in Finish
 ing Off the Costume.

The collar often makes the succ ess of the gown If it suggests the per sonalitv of the wearer, harmonlZes with the whole effect, and has that correct dash of color which blends with the eyes and brings out the best tints of the complexion, then half the battle is won, says Woman's Home Companion.
 This is season of exceptionally pretty effects in neckwear, and the charming possibilities of bit of lace at the throat are even more empha- sized than ever.
 The newest stock and bow give the girl who is skillful with her needle the chance to make for herself a bit of neckwear which will lend dis tinctive, smart look to any gown with which it is worn. It is of lace hand embroidered in colored silks. Any design may be used, but conventional patterns in bold relief give the best effect. A lace of a creamy tint should be used, but one not too heavy-an- tique lace, point Nenise or guipure would answer. Conventionalized feur-de-lis worked in different shades of purple and green make an artistic design. Clusters of cherries and leaves, with the fruit embroidered in different tints of red, look especially smart on the ends of a creamy lace bow. If a smaller. less pronounced design is preferred, pink rosebuds scattered over the lace, or sprays of forget-me-nots, would be dainty and fetchinr
