FOR W0MAN'S EYE.
OF GENERAL INTEREST.

The immense influence of tact in
matters social is frequently comment
ed upon. But the woman who prides
herself upon doing and saying just the
right thing in the drawing room does
not always consider that the same
quality exercised in the kitchen would
save her many domestic annoyance
and often avert an unpleasant catas-
trophe. Servants are human, after
all, and little judicious fattery
sometimes effects a change that a
sharp reprimand would fail to bring
about Mary" said a mistress to
an untidy waitress, you looked so
pretty last evening at dinner. Mr..
Smith spoke of it. Now, don't you
think you can dress as neatly in the
morning at breakfast? % And the inn
provement was effected at once. eff
l had simply told her to dress better
in the morning." remarked the wise
Mrs. Smith, "she would have sal d
she had not time, and felt aggrieved,
but the compliment touched the right
spot.

KEEP THE FARM NEAT.

May / not put in plea for neatness
on the farm? What do l mean by this?
l will tell you. Some things may be
proved by contrast. The other day l
passed farm where the house and
barn stood on opposite side of the
road. The house had careless look,
as if the occupants were very busy
people, and had little time to spend
on personal appearance, either Of
themselves or their home. But the
barn was the worst place to see. The
door stood open, and l could see every
thing strung around all over the
floor and sides of the building. And
about the yard outside-why, it was
simply dreadful Turned up by the
side Of the fence were a mower, a
reaper, two or three bob sleds, har-
row, an old wagon, hay rigging, and
no end of plank boards tossed around
as if there had beel cyclone in the
nieghborhood. 1t was enough to make
one really sick to look at it,
Less than half mile away was an
other farm, presenting decided con-
trast. here the house and barn had a
trim look Things seemed to be all
in place, and there were no sleds, old
wagons or farm machinery out OF
doors rotting down. This was a neat
farm Who would not like to have his
own place like it? We all may. This

There has been great interest in
silo- building, this year. Thousands
of new silos are being nut up, and
many farmers who have long ar.
gued against feeding silage will try it
next winter. Many small silos are be-
ing built, too, on farms where there
are already several larger ones. The
smaller ones are used for summer
feeding, so that next summer the cat
tie can be "pastured from tub. "
This means that many old pastures
have been broken up and planted to
corn. 1t is one result of the high
prices of corn. Farmers have been
driven to new methods of obtaining
stock food from the farm, and the
silo has come to stay. Rural New

In feeding grain on the farm where
it is grown, two profits are made
the feeding value and the manurial
value. When the grain is sold the
manurial value is lost and the farm
begins to run down in fertility.
Thousands of eastern farms have be-
come improbable because of the prac-
tice of selling much and putting little
back. But farmers of New York, New
England, Pennsylvania, etc. are now
more than ever alive to the necessity
of returning to the soil needed fer
tilizing material 1t is encouraging
to know that mixed farming and the
rearing and feeding of live stock are
on the increase, for in such a system
lies the most profitable and best type
of agriculture for the average farmer

AS soon a New England farmerss
raise enough good beef cattle to give
butchers a steady supply, there should
be no difficulty in finding satisfac-
tory market for them. Trade in ma
tive cattle is being revived in many
places. At Pittsfeld, Mass, six
butchers have slaughters houses and
are killing about 100 cattle each week,
buying them in Buffalo and in the sur
rounding country New England

a very good way to start small
new bed of strawberries this fall is to
bury to the brim here and there in
the old beds pots or old quart buckets,
or even inverted sods three inches
square, and in these lay young plants
just as they beign to root, and by
October 1 you will have fine potted
plants for the new bed OF course,
the soil in pots must be loamy and
rich. New York Tribune.

Roman Gormnnds.

The ancient Greeks and Romans
drank wine freely at their feasts. Wine
was their beverage. Indeed Bacchus
held high carnival among them, and
the Roman would gorge himself with
food and then empty his stomach by
artificial means and resume his seat
at table and eat and drink to his fill

A rather elaborate waist of flannel
is in gray tone. 1t fastens in front
by row Of rather large pearl buttons
and similar buttons catch the stitched
cuffs. 1t is made collarless, so that
the wearer may exercise her own taste
in choosing neck adornment. The
striking feature is the applique work
that adorns the Gibson front, this con-
sisting of brown velvet leaves and
stems edged with white satin cord A
gain is the striking contast between
two tones of the same primary order
brought out the brown against the
tan. 1t is clever idea, too, putting
in the white satin cord, making, as
it does, the two colors stand out the
more strongly.

If you want your children to grow

If you want your children to grow
up truthful and reliable never tell
them a lie-never disappoint them in
promise. 1t is so easy to tell lies
to children-so easy to promise with
out performing, so easy to disappoint,
so easy to indulge the little ones to
their own detriment. But at the age
of four they are already noting every
thing with their pathetic faith, and
we are already betraying them when
consciously told either child the whit
est kind of lie," says a wise young
mother. How could / expect them
to be truthful if they ever heard me
say what was untrue?"

FASHION NOTES.

The fiat has gone forth that the belt
shall continue to slope in the front
and set high at the back. This is es-
pecially to the advantage of the long
wasted woman, who, unless she is
judicious, is sure to have a struggling
air where waist and skirt meet. Belts
with an upward curve in the back
are always for the woman of lengthy
waist. a long waist is to be desired,
but its advantage is seen from front
view. Belts continue to appear in silk
suede, leather and elastic.

Embroidered nainsook and swis

Embroidered nainsook and Swiss
edgings, just the right depth for cor
set covers, are provided for that use.
A yard and a quarter of the material
is required for person Of average
size, The fitting is simple. The piece
is held embroidered side up, ends in
front, around the body; the back
is made smooth, and openings to fit
the arms are cut in both sides. Any
extra fulness is LETT in the front The
arm holes are faced with plain cloth
and the openings at the shoulders are
enclosed with ribbons tied at the top.
The fronts are hemmed. Darts to re.
lieve extra fulness, if the waist is for
a stout figure, may be taken below the
arms. Then across the bottom is
stitched an inch or an inch and a
half wide beading, and through it a
ribbon issrun. This serves as belt
and ties in the front. Baby ribbon is
laced through the eyelets of the en-
broidery at the top of the front,

garment in place and tied in a bow.

Every one knows the tenacious
character of the soil which accumu-
lates on the washbowl, and which re-
quires daily treatment with hot soap
and water. The same oily substance
fastens itself on the pipes, and unless
rigorous methods are employed witt
ates them and so the air of the house.
Frequent and generous tiushings with
a hot solution of sal soda through all
the drains will clear the pipes. Oc-
casional use of chloride of lime,
through the pipes will insure purity.

Soil and Fertilizers In a general
way commercial fertilizers give more
profitable returns on sandy than on clay
soils, This is because the essential
elements of plant food are much less

How to Polish Dining Tables.

much used for table tennis, may be

linseed oil. Elbow grease is needed for
this polish.

FOR THE TABLE.

For breakfast relish try frying
apples in bacon fat. Hard ones I'M
peeled are the best. Remove the cores
and cut the fruit in transverse slices
a half inch thick. Fry half dozen
slices of bacon until it is crisp. Re-
move it and keep it hot. Spread the
bottom of the pan with the apples,
cover closely and cook until tender.
Arrange the slices of bacon around the
dish on which they are served.

Succotash may be spoiled in the
preparation. To be nice you require
equal quantities of cut corn and shelled
led lima beans. The beans should be
cooked in Just barely water enough to
cover them and when half done the
corn should be added, with liberal
seasoning of butter, salt and pepper.
Add sufficient milk for the quantity
of corn and beans and simmer gently
until the beans are cooked Three
quarters of an hour should be sutfi-
cient for the preparation.
