TO WEAR NW

A detachable lace lining for your
muff, with frllls of edging at either
end, is the latest makeshift, and very
useful one, too, since in a moment you
can transform a plain muff into n
dressy one by using two pins.
Belts stlll have a prominent place
among the pretty trlfies, and the va.
riety is endless. They are made OF
strands of black velvet ribbon held in
place by metal slides, which give them
the pointed effect in the back.
Fine flowers are very much worn in
the hair for evening dress, and If the
color of the hair is bright black
chrysanthemum or a black rose is very
effective. The fine flowers usually
have something of the wreath effect.
Buckles for belts show great va.
riety in their enamelled decorations
which are so beautifully tinted that
they look like jewels. The gold or en-.
amelled buckle is most generally used
except with gray and white gowns
when the silver is found to be most
harmonious.
One of the latest fancies in handker.
chiefs shows row Of fine dots in color
just above the hem, and a monogram
in the same tint in one corner. Some.
thing still more dainty is the fine sheer
narrow-hemmed handkerchief, with
only the monogram done in white and
pale blue or violet.

Orchards For Chicken Runs.

One of the poorest chicken runs one
can build is that barren of all shade.
1t is impossible for the chickens to
find pleasure and comfort in such
cheerless place. All through the
summer they will suffer from the heat.
and the chief object of the run will
be nullified for a good part of the
year. Shade is necessary for the well
fare of the fowls, and 1t should he sup
piled artificially if nature has not al
ready given it. We should endeavor
to make the poultry yards both attrac-
tive and profitable. Now, one of the
best ways to do this is to select wisely
fruit trees and plant them in the run
for shade for the fowls and for their
fruit. Fowls and fruit can be raised
together successfully. and one will net
almost as much as the other. Every
acre of poultry land not occupied by
fruit trees | consider wasted, or rather
it is failing TO produce all that 1t
should. There still exists an old notion
successfully together, but that should
be dispelled. To prove this, try plan
similar to mine
Select plum. cherry, apple or pear
trees for the poultry run, taking care
that good varieties of commercial fruit
be obtained from n reliable nursery.
Plant these far enough apart so that
the trees will have room to grow
and expand. If dwarf varieties are
selected they can be planted much
closer together, Plum trees should not
be planted closer than twelve feet, and
the apple and cherry trees nearer than
twenty feet. The chicken run should
be planted with blue grass and clover,
and the grass will add greatly to the
fertility of the soil. When the trees
are first planted they should be sur
rounded by n fence of chicken wire,
but when they have become well estab-
lished they will not need this protec-
tion. The fowls will do no damage
then to the roots. Indeed, it is well
to cultivate the soil around the trees
and let the chickens scratch and wal
low in 1t. The chickens will actually
do all the cultivation that the trees
need. and II we add n little rich
manure every year around the roots
little further attention will be needed
The chickens will keep down apple
tree borers, grubs and worms, and
where caterpllars and other insects
get on the leaves and branches, it is
only necessary to dislodge them by
shaking. The chickens will then at.
tend to them. In this way one can
make the fruit yield almost as much
profit as the chickens. 1t is certainly a
profit that We cannot overlook. Annie

The Latest in Belts.

The first item of "jewelry" Is the
belt. This is of much width, often
nearly as deep as from the belt to the
arm pits, and is made upon an elastic
foundation. Its surface is studded
with steel nail heads. or silver If you
prefer or gilt If you would be still

gold beads. so that they are pllablc

Luck Charms of Society Women.

Philadelphia women this season have
a craze for charms and amulets. Luck
pieces Stimulating birds and beasts of
gold and silver were at first the rage,
but recently the demand has been for
the same animals carved from jade.
chalcedony, lapis, lazuli, agate, amber,
crystal. coral and, many other semi
precious stones. Jade, in all it's shades,
from the dark green of the Russian to
the milky white and apple green of
the Chinese, seems to be prime favor
ite among luck stones.
These women purchasers say that it
has sacred and powerful preservative
qualities in itself, and when carved in
the form of sacred animals, fruit or
symbols will save its price in doctors
bills within a year. The corals are,
according to Indian tradition, an in
fallible charm against the evil eye. So
these vie in popularity with those more
Oriental in character. = Philadelphia

Eject of Too Many Sweets.

Not n few of the ailments from
which girls suffer might be prevented
by little care and common sense.
TO take one instance - neuralgia.
Does 1t ever occur to You young ladies
how largely this is due to the indis-
criminate eating of sweets?
Girls, as rule, eat great many
more sweets than are good for them,
and, what is worse. they often eat
them at the wrong time-i. e., just be-
fore or midway between meals. The
consequence Is that when luncheon or
dinner time comes they have hardly
any appetite.
Commonplace beef and mutton seem
most unattractive, they can hardly
touch such things, and no wonder.

upon the fertility OF the farm. Some
breeds can forage better than others.
some can find subsistence on hilly land
that cannot be plowed, and some re.
quire less care than others; but there
are breeds which thrive only on lux
attention during MI seasons of the
year. On certain farms only the active
breeds are suitable, but on other farms
the most profit is derived by the use
Of breeds that give n return for the
extra labor bestowed. Every farmer
must be capable of selecting what he
requires, and If he is unable to do so
then he has something to learn rs a
farmer. What each farmer should en-
deavor to do Is to plan intelligently
in advance his operations for the year.
He may probably learn much by OBJ
serving his neighbors, but there will
be some conditions on his farm that
do not apply to their soils. and he
must solve the problems unaided. Much
benefit is derived by farmers from the
work of the experiment stations, but
the farmer should also make his farm
one on which to experiment. The
information given from the stations
will be valuable and of great assist
ance. but the many little details per-
tanning TO each farm cannot be antlcl-
pated by the directors of the stations,
and farmers can therefore not only
educate themselves by experiments,
but also be of service TO the stations
by making known their experience.

A problem to many farmers is when
TO spread the manure. If done in the
fall upon plowed ground the land may
lose portions of the plant food by
flow of water from the land. If done
in the spring the work comes during
a busy period. In such cases the topog-
raphy of the land is largely to be con-
sidercd, and no plan or method will
apply for all. The effects of lining the
land are also frequently discussed, but
the application of lime must be gov
erned by the amount of green material
plowed under, the requirements of the
soil regarding lime and its acidity. The
farmer must endeavor TO study his
conditions, for too little lime may be
of no service, while too much may
cause injury.

The Value of Wood Ashes.

Wood ashes give excellent results
on sandy soils, due to the lime and
potash in the ashes. For fruit trees
wood ashes have been found excellent,
and they also benefit clover and grass.
On heavy soils much of the value of
the ashes is due to the lime, and where
potash is required no better fertilizer
can be found than ashes. Coal ashes
contain little OF no plant food, and for
agricultural purposes would not pay
for the hauling. On sandy soil the
coal ashes sometimes serve TO make
the land a little heavier.

The method of preparing clover for
poultry is to use second-growth hay,
and cut it into very short lengths, one
quarter inch, If possible. The cut
clover is then scalded and left until
the next morning, when it will be
warm enough for use. A teaspoonful
Of salt should be added to every gallon
of water used in moistening the clover
Before feeding it to the hens, sprinkle
the mess with a mixture of cornmeal,
bran and ground oats, turning the
clover over occasionally until the whole
is well sprinkled with the grain foods.
The fowls will accept 1t readily, and
it will serve as an agreeable change
from corn and wheat, promoting egg
production and assisting to keep the
fowls thrifty.

Profit in Sheen.

Farmers who keep the mutton breeds
of sheep do not complain that sheep do
not pay. 1t is the farmer who makes
n speciality of wool, and who sends to
market sheep no larger than lambs,

such lambs are of the quick maturing
