Large white wings are much seen
On the new toques.
Pretty afternoon gowns are made Of
the CAV silks and libertv-satin foulard
now shown in floral designs.
Tuclling promises to be used for
waist trimming on every sort of ma
terial that can possibly be tucked.
A new fancy in corsets is the use
Of white velvet printed in colors with
floral designs. This is step beyond
the silk and satin of other years.

Every now and again one sees jet
combs, though they are not very uni

things in jet brooches to be found.
These come in fancy designs. fleur-de-

tional patterns.
White Indian cashmere is utilized
for elaborate evening coats and one
notable example from a Partisan de-
signer is combined with black chantlly
lace. A broad putting of white chiffon
down the front is held in place by jet
motifs.
Very attractive is a brooch, a long
spray OF acorn leaves and fruit, the
leaves of diamonds, the lower part
of the acorns each single pink pearl
and the upper part, in which the pearls
are set, of bronze gold, set with
small diamonds.
In bags of various kinds, those to
carry in the hand, chatelaine bags
with silver frames and card cases are
combined black and steel. Frequently
the foundation of the bag or case will
be of the jet beads and worked in
will be a design of some sort in the
steel beads.
Beading plays an important part in
handkercriefs. Very dainty little
handkerchiefs have line of beading
on the exact edge in lieu of hem,
and inside this a line of embroidery,
fine and delicate-anything heavy
would be out of keeping-a slender
vine with little more elaborate work
in the corners. In some of the hand
kerchiefs the beaded edge Is entirely
straight. and in Others it is slightly
uncNlated. Perhaps the former is the
most attractive.

No one can make good butter with
bad odors around the creamery. The
vats, churn, worker, utensils and em-
ployes must be absolutely clean and
sweet. In running a creamery where
the milk is drawn to the creamery and
there separated, is much better than
a gathered cream plant where only the
cream is brought. Farmers will not
take care of cream properly and the
greater part of it comes sour. In run
ming factory with q separator, l
should separate my milk at so degrees
Fahrenheit, letting the cream stand
over night and cool down to churning
temperature about 81 degrees in win
ter and 5S in summer. | always want
my churn stopped when the butter is
in granular form, about the size of
wheat kernels. The buttermilk will
then draw off freely and can be
worked very easily. always work
my butter twice and sometimes in
third water, the water being 10 de-
grees colder than churning tempera-
ture.
l salt it to suit my trade, using
mostly one ounce to the pound. |
have never used the combined churn
and worker, for | think the butter has
a better grain with the churn separ-
ate. In packing l want my packages
as clean as possible on the outside as
well as inside. In packing in tubs l
have them lining up and fold over the
edge of butter one inch then the top
circular is put on top and tucked down
between tub and lining. l have had
men tell me that my butter took well,
because when they took cover Off
the butter was smooth and nice. In
putting up prints the same care should
be taken to have full weight and
neat package. In making butter from
gathered cream it requires more care.
| am selling all | make in pound
prints, at two cents above highest
market price, having the same regular
trade for - years. l always take my
prize butter right out of the churn
with all the rest and do not follow any
different methodist. S. Mallory in

One cannot do better on the farm
late in the fall and winter than to
make thorough search in the orchard
and garden for insect pests and their
eops or larvae. We know enough
about the insect world now to under
stand that rne best way to des roy
these is 10 prevent their millions Of
eggs from Matching. Many of these
are laid on the twigs and in the bark
of the orchard trees. The tree borers
and grubs bury themselves at the base
of the trees and inside of the bark,
and there hibernate. The flies and in
sects glue their eggs to twigs and
bushes, or bore pinholes in the trees
and deposit them there. Millions of
sons crop of insect pests. The old
insects of many species die in the fall,
and leave the future of their race to
the eggs thus laid By destroying
these eggs we get ahead of the pests
and greatly limit their ravages.
One should go carefully over the
orchard trees and vines, and examine
twigs, branches, roots and trunks.
Wherever there is any suspicion of
eggs glued in masses to the bark or
sawdust to indicate the presence of
hole full of eggs, the owner should
scrape the bark carefully and run a
little thin wire in the hole. Great
quantities of eggs can be gathered
from the bark of twigs and trunks in
this way, and If Immediately burned
thousands of insects will be prevented
from coming into the world. The
worms and grubs that bore in the
trunks of trees to hibernate must be
hunted for diligently, and with piece
of wire they can easily be killed. Even
the leaves under the orchard trees
should be raked uD and burned. If it
were generally known how many in
sect pests these leaves harbor in win
ter they would not be saved for bed
ding or anything else. Many a pest
crawls under the leaves and goes to
sleep for the winter or deposits eggs
there to hatch in the spring. The only
sure way to prevent this is to rake
up the leaves after they have all fall
en- and burn them. 1t will pay in the
end good interest on the work and in
vestment Not even spraying will do
so much good in keeping down the
insects, as this searching investiga-
tion of the trees in fall and winter Re-
peated every year, the orchard will
soon become SO free from roxious in
sects that the foliage and branches
and fruit will take on quite different
appearance. Many twigs on affected
trees will be found honeycombed with
small pinholes. These should be
pruned off and burned. They repre-
sent colonies of insect eggs that may
bring forth millions of pests next
spring.-Professor James S. Doty, in
American Cultivator.

The aggregate area of corn crops,
which comprise wheat, barley, oats,
rye, beans and peas, amounts to
8,476,S92 acres, which represents a de.
cline on the year of 230,710 acres.
This contraction of the corn acreage
follows, moreover, similar decline
of 96,20S acres last year, and 1857
acres in 1899. A generation ago, say
in 1871, the United Kingdom returned
IL ,S32, ,243 acres as under corn crops; 4;
this year the area is 3,356,351 acres
less. In other words, an area not far
short of three and one-half million
acres has been withdrawn from corn
groupings during the last 80 years.
The wheat crop alone has incurred
just over 100000 acres of this loss.
This years area of corn crops is made
up of 4,112,365 acres of oats, 2,140,-
S75 acres of barley, 1,746,141 acres Of
wheat, 254,093 acres of beans, 155, ,665
acres of peas. and 67,753 acres of rye.
1t appears, then, that nearly one-half
of the entire corn area of the British
Isles is seeded to oats, whilst if we
eliminate the pulse corn crops, and
have regard only to the cereal corn,
the oats acreage represents more than
half the total.

A Western Equestrienne.

Mrs. Minnie Austen, typical wom-
an of the plains, has recently been
giving exhibitions of equestrianism at
Portland, Ore, and has astonished
many, even among the experienced
plainsmen, by her daring feats. She
is an absolutely fearless horsewoman,
who delights in feats that seem haz.
ardous and in risks that appear dan
gerous. The crowd of cowboys who
were performing at the carnival dur
ing the horse show were so conf
dent of Mrs. Austen's ability that they
were willing to back her to the ex-
tent of S100 to ride any four-footed
animal sent to the grounds. During
the week Mrs. Austen has been nightly
doing a tandem hurdle act that has
proved immensely popular with the
carnival Jisitors With two spirited
horses going at the utmost speed
that vigorous whipIashing could get
out of them, she went tearing around
the track, taking the three hurdles
as clean as ever any famous hunter
cleared brush or fence.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

1t was through the death of her hus-
band that Mrs. Daniel A. Button of
Pontiac, Mich, became the first wom-
an census enumerator a number OF
years ago. She had been in the habit
of arranging and copying the work of
her husband, who was one of the
deputies appointed for census pur-
poses. When left alone Mrs. Button
applied for her husbands position,
in due time receiving the appointment.
1t was decided by the government
after receiving her reports that the
manufacturing statistics should be
compiled for the first time in the his
tory of the census, and this work was
placed in her hands Mrs. Button
found it a difficult task, as she had
to visit personally every mandatory,
large or small, in the district, and as.
certain the amount and cost of ma
terial used, the value of the articles
purchased, the expense of production,
and the gain or loss per year. Upon
sending in her final report to the su-
perintendent of the census bureau
she received from him letter of COM
mendation for the excellence of her
work, and deputy marshal's badge
white silk in blue letters.

Winter Work in Peach Orchards.

w IntBr III IeaCn OrcnRfus.
We have the worst drouth in 20
years in our immediate vicinity. Still
peaches made moderately fair crop
of elegant fruit where orchards were
well cultivated, which is the rule here.
The yellows prevailed here to rath-
er unusual extent, although | think
1t has been more noticeable on ac-
count of an usually rigid enforcement
of the law regarding its destruction.
You ask regarding mummy fruit and
dead twigs. In my orchard. where
careful pruning and spraying are
practiced. | do not have them, but If
l did, would certainly remove them
in the fall. The only fall work | do
in my orchard is to get broken limbs,
If any, out of the orchard and get my
cover crop of oats well started. leave
all pruning until early spring, then
rush it through before the buds start.
1t has happened here that large per-
centage of buds have been killed DUR
! ing a severe winter; then in order to
save a crop the pruning must be light
and this cannot be determined until
after March Is. We wait until that
date before pruning at all.

WAYS of Storing Cabbage.

There are several ways. One that
1 have found to suit very well, says
writer in American Gardening, is to
select the best drained positions in the
garden. Then with the plow or
spade open a trench running east and
west about eight or ten inches in
depth and Is inches broad; across the
trench we place strips of wood about
four feet apart-these act as supports
for fence rails, or any pieces of wood
laid over and parallel with the trench
about two inches apart-on the wood
we put two rows of cabbage, head
down, finishing with third row on top
and along the centre of the others;
over the hole put a coat of dry straw,
and this is covered up with about six
inches of soil, adding more as tho
weather becomes cold. Except during
very cold or very mild weather both
ends of the trench are allo,;ed to
stand open to carry on a circulation Of
air.
Before pitting the plants should be
dry and turned downward for time
to allow the water to drain out of the
axils of the leaves. See that there
is drain or fall from the pits to al
low rain water to pass away.
Another successful method is to
open trench east and west, throwing
the soil to the sou h; then packing the
heads closely together with the roofs
in the ground, covering up the roots
and stalks up to the heads with earth.
A covering of leaves or straw, etc.
must be put on the top to protect from
the cold. This can be removed in mild
weather, giving them the benefit of
air and light. This plan is especially
advantageous to immature heads, as
they keep on growing when the
weather is not too severe.
