There are no gathers at the top Of the

to the outside all around, neck and
sides; also the bottom, as the lining

that it fits. In the center Of the back
at the waist line four small folds are
laid in the outside and drawn down
closely to be sure that the waist will
not draw. If the sleeves are to be
lined. the lining is cut all in one with
the outside and sewed up in with them.

A gentleman living in Chicago writes
us that he has $4,000 which he wishes
to invest in a stock ranch and wants
to know where to locate. He can go to
the range territory of Oklahoma or
Texas and find good openings for in
vestment, or he can try the range coun-
try of the western Dakotas with al
most equal promise Of success, or he
can take up the breeding of blooded
stock on the higher priced lands of the
Mississippi valley in the corn and clio
yer country and perhaps do just as
well. If the question of health for
himself enters into the matter, as in
this case it does, we would recommend
the Dakota plan as the best. A FIVE
year bout with Dakota range condi-
tions will make the rundown, wheel
ing Chicago business man feel like a
-year-old corn fed Dakota steer
make him all over of such good stuff
that he will not care a cent whether
school keeps or not.

How many miles man walks IN his
lifetime depends naturally upon how
much he walks day on the average,
but the man who walks the least COW
ers a vast number of miles before he
dies Some men walk two miles day,
some four or five and some as many as
ten. If a man walks two miles a day
and lives to be thirty years old, he will
cover 81, 900 miles. At the same age a
man who walks three miles a day will
have walked $3.50 miles. Almost ev-
cry man walks between two and three
miles day just In going about the
house, the Office, the shop and in going
to and from the cars, etc.
A man who walks five miles day
finds that at the age Of thirty he has
covered 81, $50 miles and at the age of
sixty 109,500 From this should, strict
ly speaking, be subtracted the few
months or a year when he was baby
unable to walk, but the result would
not be affected materially
Now, the circumference of the earth
at the equator is only 24.S99 miles, so
therefore a man who at the age Of six

enough miles to have encircled the

In blowing the sod of meadow or
pasture for a corn crop we believe II
is every way better to plow deep and
turn the sod so that it will lie smooth
and fiat than to pillow shallower and
klnk the turf up. Turned fiat, the field
can be far more easily dlsked and har-
rowed into a perfect seed bed for the
corn. Few men will put the work on
the kinked sodfield to get it in the
proper condition while the chunks cf
sod not disintegrated remain to inter
fere with good work both by the plant.
er and the cultivator. Then If the field
is ever to be deeply plowed the time
to do 1t is when the sod is turned over.

There is quite variation of opinion
as to when is just the right time to cut
up corn. We have always regarded
that stage of maturity of the corn
when the majority of the husks were
well turned while the leaves and stalk
were still green as the best time, but
we have come across many men of late
who say that the stock will eat the
stalks up cleaner If the corn is cut at q
later period of development, when there
are many colored leaves as well as
huslSs. This later cutting would Ger
tainly be to the advantage Of the ear
and insure better developed grain anc

FLAX AS A LAND RENovAroR.

Now here is new use for a flax
crop as a land renovator. A man who
had a field on the top of hill, where
the soil was an almost pure yellow
clay and so impoverished that it would
grow neither small grain, corn nor grass,
as last resort sowed the land to flax.
To his great surprise, it made a good
crop and, more, so changed the nature
of the soil that he was able to get good
crops Of both oats and barley for the
two succeeding crops. We should like
to have this rather curious fact ex-
planned, as 1t is the first time we have
ever heard of fax being Of any value
as the renovator of poor soils.

DIAGRAM OF NOBEL SHIRT WAIST.

long, in clusters or all of one size and
width apart, depends entirely upon the
taste Of the dressmaker, and if several
waists are to be made it is well to vary
the manner as far as possible. The
best way to have them is straight,
when the figure is rather stout, while
slender figures look well in the yokes,
but each is quite ut liberty to suit her
self.
The pattern of this waist is in six
teen pieces viz, two front yokes, one
back yoke, two front pieces, one back,
two basques, one belt, one undercollar,
two outside collars, two sleeves and
two cuffs. To make a waist of goods
thirty-six inches wide requires three
yards and two yards of lining Of the
same width If the waist is to be lined.
If made of flannel or cashmere or
any of the suitable materials for such
garments, excluding cottons, lining is
better and should be cut and made
separately from the outside, it beconl-
ing thus something like corset waist
to hold the figure in shape. 1t can be
stiffened with featherbone, which
comes ready prepared for application.
Galatea cloth makes a handsome
waist, so we will consider that as a
cotton material thirty-six inches wide.
The first thing Is to cut the fronts,
marked No. on the diagram. II the
waist is to be tucked very closely, it is
better to cut off the length first and
run in all the tucks, after which cut
out the shape around the arms and
down the top to fit the yoke. The mid
die fold projects up as far as the top of
the neck on to the yoke.~ When this Is
done. gather the upper part of the
front and set the yoke on, being care
full that the yoke falls over the other
part smoothly. There must be no bulge.
Fold the centerpiece over the yoke and
stitch yoke and front together and
then stitch the middle fold all the way
down. After this sew the back yoke to
