Hopr-tiLc Folds,

All those who have been in mourning
well know how hard 1t is to thnl; up
effective trimmings "out of whole
cloth" One woman has gotten around
II in this wise. The dress is Of soft,
rich black goods, the bodice being
tucked. save at the front. where vest
of crepe. in panel effect. is introduced.
This is criss-crOssed with folds of the
crepe, the crepe weave giving Il rope
like appearance. Five of these folds
are down each side Of the vest. This
idea might be carried out entire, with
fine results. the panel running down
the front of the skirt and also heading
the nounce. Folds of crepe are a most
effective trimming, anyway.

two feet deep ana ut least six feet
away from the box. The trench for
the stovepipc should not be overcome
half as deep, and dug so that the upper
end of the stovepipo will come out I'M
der the box near the centre; an old
elbow joint makes this very easy to
do. The pipe, of course, should be COW
cred with the loose dirt thrown out,
and the sides of the box banked up
with earth, its cracks even being caiked
as much as possible, for notwithstand-
ing all the precautions. enough smoke
will still escape to insure the neces-
sary amount of draught.
When the affair Is completed and the
hams are all hung II fire should be
kindled in an old kettle or pan, using
corn cobs for fuel, since these make
the best material, not to mention that
they are easy to handle aud will last

been started the furnace" should be
set in the hole prepared for 1t and

this, the device is of inestimable value

Satin shoes or slippers to match all

dc rlgeuer now, and another luxury
are gloves Of white glace Kid, suede

Treating n Badly Drained Soil.

Drainage of heavy, thick SOL, in
clined to be hilly and uneven, Is some
thing that Is not always an easy mat
ter, but if one has such farm, the
sooner he beglr, to make the improve
ment the better. 1t is waste of time
and money to attempt farming Oh Il
field that demands drainage badly, and
II Is wisdom TO abandon the farm en-
tirely or begin to drain it. l have
succeeded so well with home system
of drainage with stones that 1t may be
worth recording. The soil was at first
quite full of stones, which | at first
picked Off and piled in one part OF the
field. a few stones would work up
to the surface every spring, and these
| would also pick up. In the course of
few seasons had a fairly good soil
without any stones TO annoy me. But
the drainage was bad. The water
would settle in the soil and on the sur
face In the spring, and the land was
always late in getting into tillable
condition. 1t was cold and wet when
most other soils were warm and dry.
This made plowing late, or If done
early q muddy and unpleasant task.
The land sloped down in one general
direction, but there were numerous
depressions which collected the water
all along.
l decided to drain. | planned the
whole thing out on paper, noting the
general direction of the slopes. l could
not afford tiles or any expensive ma
terial, and so / decided to use the Pile
of stone. l plowed deep bitches across
the land, making them all run parallel
with the main slope, and cutting cross
bitches in the opposite direction. In
this way the whole soil Of the field was
drained so that the surplus water
would run into main bitches and thus
down to swampy levels. Then | pro-
ceeded to fill in the bitches with the
stones, using the large ones first, and
placing them so that the largest possi-
ble spaces would be left between. Cn
top of these l packed the smaller cnes,
and on top of them placed n layer
OF straw and cornstalks Then topped
1t Off with six inches OF soil, bringing
the surface up to within a few inches
OF the general level of the field. Now
this drainage works perfectly. The
soil Is never clogged with surplus
water. do not plow over the drains,
but have permitted sod of grass
to form on them to mark their course.
The water following the line OF bitches
drains off below the surface. and there
10 a steady outpour in the main ditch
in rainy weather. The cost was only
that of my own personal labor.-C. w.

Buying or Renting n Farm.

1t doesn't make any difference
whether a man has small means or
can pay cash, the best policy is to
buy. Every farmer is ambitious. He
wants to own a farm-to have some
place to call home, even If it is only
forty acres. The expenses are about
equal, buying or renting. The rent
amounts to as much, and often more,
than the taxes, interest and repairs.
The renter has more money to put
into stock. but his possessions must
accommodate themselves to the farm
he rents. and this is often inconvenient.
Or he must build extra fence. which

taken from a consumptive COW. in order
to disprove Professor Kochs theory that
1t is impossible for human beings to

quite as susceptible to bovine tuberculo-
sis as any other animal.
He again inoculated himself July Is by
inserting under the skin of his left arm
fragment Of tuberculor matter from
the liver Of diseased COW. The second
incubation was performed because he
feared that the tuberculosis Of the skin
resulting from the first would remain too
long superficial The second form Of in
oculation when performed on a guinea
pig inevitably causes death within eight
weeks. This will give an idea Of the
risks DR.. Garnault is running.
