The guides of the Adirondacks say
that within their memory not more
than a dozen white deer have been re-
ported. and the appearance of one is
sufficient to excite them greatly. Men
of the steadiest nerves under most
hunting experiences are sometimes up
set at the sight of a white deer or an
albino bird
Many visitors to the north woods
scout the idea that there is such a
thing as a white deer. At the same
time the superstitious prefer not to
see one, as they believe II indicates
danger. So deep-seated was this eu-
perstition among the natives at Wild

stitious about shooting 1t, they will
say they preferred to take no chances

The object Of their study and effort is
to shake this karmic clog out and to

Woman's Singie-Breasied Blouse.

No other garment Is more popular
than the simple blouse. Young girls
and women alike hold 1t the most sat
isfactory of all models, both for the
suit and the coat of velvet, velours and
the like. The example shown in the
large drawing has the merit of abso-
lutte simplicity combined with smart
ness. The original is made of broad
cloth In tobacco brown and makes
part of n suit. the extension being
omitted, but all suiting materials are
appropriate as well as those already
mentioned.
The blouse Is eminently simple. The
back is plain and smooth, without full

the shoulders have the fulness stylish

slightly over the belt. The neck is

Child's French Dress.


The long-waisted dress known as the
French model suits little girls to a
nicely and is the height of present
styles. The very pretty May Manton
example shown is made of nainsook
with yoke and trimming of fine needle
work, and is worn with a ribbon sash,
but all washable materials are equally
appropriate. while cashmere, henriet-
ia, albatrOss and simple silks are all
in vogue for the heavier frocks.
Te waist Is made over fitted lining
onto which the yoke Is faced, but
which can be cut away to yoke depth
when q transparent effect Is desired.
The full portion is gathered at both up
per and lower edges, but the waist and
lining close together at the centre
back. The sleeves are in bishop style
with pointed cuffs. and over the shoul-
ders. finishing the edge of the yoke, is
a pointed bertha that suits childish
figures admirably well. At the neck
is n standing collar
The skirt Is circular and flares freely
and gracefully at the lower portion,
while the upper edge is joined to the
skirt, the seam being concealed by the
sash.

attention to the lessening of the cost
OF production than to anything else.
The farmer who does not know of the
appliances. or of the advantages of
the various breeds of live stock, is sure
to work at n great disadvantage In
competition with one who lessons the
cost of labor. and increases the prod
ucts of his farm. for II prices fall by
reason of great supply, the unprepared
farmer who has not kept pace with
others. will be the first to fall by the
wayside.
The beginning of the new year Is
the time to plan for next season. The
farmer no longer has any choice In
the matter of reform. He cannot de-
eide to continue on with old methods
unless other farmers are doing the
same. Necessity will compel changes.
and It Is better to get ready for them
than to wait until the growing season
arrives than to discover that n whole
year must be lost In the attempt to
produce crops under methods that 9th
ers have discarded. There is more Ia
Dor performed on farms from which
the farmer secures no return than Is
incurred In any other pursuit, and 1t
Is this waste of labor-the result of
adherlng to old systems-that causes
farmers to mortgage their farms and
pay interest. No farmer can afford
to sell his produce for less than It's
cost. yet the cost depends largely on
the management. His competitor. with
lower cost and larger yields, forces him
to sell at unremunerative prices.
Where some farmers fail Is In not
increasing the productive capacity of
their live stock. Beef cattle that weigh
less than one-half the weight that
could be obtained, sheep weighing less
than 100 pounds each on the hoof.
and milk from cows that but little
more than pay the cost OF keeping.
are examples found everywhere. The
most difficult matter ON the part of
those who are interested In the ad
vancement of farming is to convince
farmers that an essential duty In the
keeping of live stock Is to use the pure
breeds. Strange to say, the greatest
obstacle to the introduction of pure
breeds is the prejudice Of the farmers.
On the large majority of farms will be
found animals that demonstrate their
worthlessness in comparison with some
that are better, yet even this fact so
plain that 1t cannot be avoided, has not
induced farmers to discard scrubs and
accept the poor breeds. Only when
some progressive farmer steps out of
the line and adopts new methods are
many of the farmers convinced that
they must do the same thing or suffer
