Letter to A. F. Boynton.
BrattIpboro, ".

Dear Sir: The annoyance caused by
short measure in paints, that are sold by
the gallon is worse than the loss by
the shortage. Misled by the makers re-
presentations as to how far a gallon will
go, you buy too little of every sort. and
must send for more in the midst of the
work.
Besides, a shOrt-measure man is, doubt
less, also a cheater in other ways his
paint is likely to cover perhaps two-thirds
as much as he says. This also you find
out while the work is going on, and the
painting must wait while you send for
more.
Even this is not all, nor the worst.
If it wears half as long as he says. you
are lucky. You have the whole job to
do again in a year or two; perhaps your
paint is not really good for that short
time.
One law of lying is that liars lie most
where it's hardest to catch EN-. Another
is that a liar lies wherever he can.
Look out for short measures. 1t in
cludes all the rest. Devoe lead and
zinc is full-measure and pure and dur
able.
Yours truly,

example, lunches of grapes applied in
snowy quantity. The design is made of

With such ornamentation creeping into
street dress, it is natural to expect ex-
IRENE dressiness in calling gowns This
expectation is fully realized, though not
always through elaborate mediums. The
three calling costumes the artist grouped
were representative of the plain richness
of this grade of woman's attire. First
is white broadcloth. with milanese lace
trimming the wrap. The hat was q white

Firs. Long Wireless Messages Sent
AcrosS he Atlantic.
Marcori has positively announced the
successful Inauguration OF the trans
oceanic wireless service between Canada
and England, The great inventor made
the announcement that message from
Far Mimic, governor general of Canala,
was successfully transmitted from Table
Head TO the Cornwall station and thence
forwarded to his majesty King Edward
VII. of England. \ second message
was sent by tie commander Of the Carlo
Alberto to the King of Italy and a third
by DIR. ParkiH, manager of the Rhodes
scholarship scheme, to the london
Times.
SO gradually has the possibility of
wireless telegraphy been made known TO
the world thaS the public generally will
miss the tremendous Significance Of the
announcement made at Halifax. To APP
preciate it bestcr one has only to con.
slider that but d very few years ago teIe-
graphy without wires was looked upon
AS something well our or the range of
possible Attainment Even after it's urac-
ticability for short distances had been

airy enthusiast Marconi, il appears. has
succeeded not only IN sending messages
across the ocean. but in demonstrating
beyond all Reasonable doubt that this may
be made REGULAR method Of corrmuni-
cation for practical purposes.
The achieve ment appeals to the mag
ination not alone as another instance Of
nlnnss conquest Of material forces, but
as bringing new factor into play in
the social and political life Of the world
Like the telegraph, the telephone and
the cable, the wireless system mnst have
its effect in bringing the nations nearer
together and making them more closely
interdependent. In some ways il mny
be curiously effective in shaping the
worlds history. To mention but one IN

cable. In the1nture time that me6ns Of

stance it was trimmed with black silk
braid woven loosely so that three-inch
strip of green velvet showed under the
braid. This trimming appeared in the
collar as an insertion and again in the
sleeves at the wrists. 1t was handsome
and in way a greater extravaganza IN
fur than a plain coat of Persian lamb
would be, for the color made it impossi-
bit as an accompaniment of gowns Of
some colors, so made more than one fur
garment a necessity. At the left in to-
days first pictured group is scheme
very often resorted to for bringing color
to the fur coat. Here it consisted of
stole finish in dark green broadcloth en-
broidered in black silk cord. The fur
was seal. In the garment of the initial
picture was a less positive but equally
stylish response to the fashion, in belt
of milanese lace over bright green vel
vet, this on a squirrel coat with ermine
collar. On garments that combine two
or more furs SLOWLY, and ermine always
is snowy, bright colors are not used so
often or so freely as on one-fur pieces.
The Excess of weight in full-length furs
supplies an oft-repeated excuse for not
appearing IN q fur coat of latest types.
It's so heavy, a stole neck piece is so
much better suited to our climate, ard
all that, but many a time the maker of
such excuses would be vastly pleased
to possess the more expensive article.
Yet the saving isn't so much as it would
have been last season or any one of many
winters before, because the really fine
neck piece IS very costly. Stole shapes
are followed. not a few of them so long
as to drag on the ground if they slip ever
so little one way or the other. But that
does not seem to trouble the wearers.
Then if one costly fur doesn't call for
sufficient outlay, second one may be
added for lining. This type of garment

Double and even triple turnovers figure
on the new stocks.
Horseshoe lacepins are studded with
gems for nail heads.
Colonial pins are formed of a row
of small round heads in duh silver, set
on long pin for the belt.
Delicate pink coral is brought out in
brooches, bar and stick pins and in belt
buckles to match the neck chains from
midas strand.
Neck collars of Roman pearls in
strands of from five to q dozen are very
beautiful. They are rope-like in effect
and have mountings of rhinestones.
For driving large quantities of doeskin
gloves have been stocked, which means
that they will be the correct things for
motorists. They are 0a-Gac4 than the
ordinary kid glove and very soft to the
hand.
In new ware rice zinn is the metal
which is made into vases, fern dishes,
inkstands, tankards and bon-bon dishes
This metal resembles the Kaiser rim
in everything but price, being less OK
pensive.
Smart linen ties, hand embroidered in
black, white or colors, are shown among
the imported neckwear. If they are
crossed in a single knot they may be put
twice about the collar, but once around
and a four-in-hand is preference.

Farmers of Mclean County, Illinois,
are organizing an egg trust and are
engaged In sorting eggs in plants con-
structed especially for the purpose, to
be held for next winters demand. One
firm has erected n building especially
for the storage CT eggs and expects to
pack 1000 600. AS soon as the eggs
are received they are placed in zinc
frames holding ten dozen. When fifty
of the frames are filed they are moved
into a dark room and candled. The
eggs are then tested for breaks and
those broken are sold to bakers. Hav-
ing passed both these tests the trays
with their contents are placed on an
elevator and lowered into the base
ment. Many tanks of cement with
walls foot and half thick, like huge
beer watts, are located below Each is
7 feet long and the same width and
depth, capable of holding 10000 dozen.
The tanks contain a colorless liquid.
the ingredients of which are kept Sc
cret. which is said to preserve the
eggs for months. The eggs are piled
in the tanks, but TIE liquid between
them prevents them from breaking by
their own weight

There is an idea among farmers that
pumpkin seeds are injurious TO stock,
and especially to swine. There is no
good foundation for this belief, al
though, without doubt, ii 4 hog was
permitted 10 eat all the pumpkin seeds
it could without eating any af the flesh
they would make him i'll. Pumpkins
should be freely fed TO STOCK, using
them as other green crops, such as po-
tatoes, carrots and the like are used,
as appetizers and feeding them in
small quantities just before Che regular
meal If given after the regular meal
the animals viii not eat so freely OF
them. In feeding pumpkins 10 hogs,
horses and cows, simply cut Them in
half and let the animal do tile rest. In
feeding them to sheep the: must be
cut in smaller pieces, and Id Is a good
plan to sprinkle little salt over the
pieces until the sheep get Used 10 the
taste. All crops of this niltAre are di-
gestiyes. and pumpkins especially will
prevent attacks of prolonged eonstipa-
ton. As a rule, dairymen 90 not feed
cows enough succulent foo'ls during
the winter. 1t does not seem 10 occur
to them that an animal thas has been
on pasture all the summer through
should need anything other than plen-
ty of grain and hay. The writer once
paid as high as 81 bushel for carrots

the sum was made good by having

Farm Notes.

Evergreen branches make ar excel

and they are often useful to hold down
forest leaves and prevent 1.-THE wind
from carrying them of.
Rake up all the debris abound the
grapevincs and burn the Raves and
other materials. Scatter .aif-slaked
lime literally on the ground around the
vines. In the spring turn ne soil I'M
der and use more lime. In this manner
the rayages of the rot can be greatly
mitigated.
The winter is the time for farmers TO
meet and discuss matters pertaining to
farming. Many good hints, some OF
