that the market is paying nine to
eleven cents per pound.
His neighbor. who has given the
matter more attention, has selected Il
yellow leg and skin breed. Hc ships
at the same time and his returns are
eleven and may be twelve cents per
pound. He tells our friend about it.
and the question arises in our friends
mind, Why didn't get eleven or
twelve cents instead Of nine cents per
pound

farmer knows that if he ships Il barrel
of apples. half of them good and the
balance speciicd or rotten, he .oesnt
get the top price but if he slips Il bar

highest quotation. providing the mar

The Ouickenirg Of the Ways of Western
Rural Life.
No great war or political change ever
worked nearly so great Il revolution
for the bettermert Of the people and
the quickening OF their ways of life
as is now being wrought throughout
the Middle West by tie trolley syS-
tens that are spinning their webs in
every direction. Within the cities the
change is already old. and we have for
gotten how things We're VIXEN we for

that could afford horses and carriages.
Moreover the quickenins ~ lie that

eral broadening out TO large. areas ana
more comfortable living come TO be IN
old story in the city.
But in the smaller towns. where the
trolley is new and the closer connection
with the larger and buster centres OF
life has but recently come. the changes
are just now working. and it is inter-
eSting to observe their outward phases.
Ride out over any line through \ sac

were old. unpainted houses aud t,lm-
ble-down fences. and you will sec

that is astonishing. And all The little

in the summer sun seem to have been
galvanized into new life. The crosS

wherever the town was large enough
to have taken firm root as a rommun-

can live ut home and work in the city.

Killing Weeds With Chemicals.

In some regions objections have been
raised against the use Of solutions or
copper sulphate, especially upon plants
intended for forage, since it might lie
possible for animals to get IN amount
sufficient to kill them While such Il
condition Of affairs is possible, it is
hardly probable in the usual practice
of weed destruction.
TO overcome this difficulty the use OK
solutions Of copperas Gron sulphatel Is
recommended in Farmers Bulletin No.
124. Where copperas is employed. II
will lie found necessary to Eavc Il
stronger solution than where blue
vitriOl is used.
Copperas solutions should he from
ten to fifteen per cent, Or about one
pound OF the chemical to each gallon
of water. The results secured with
this chemical do rot seem to be quite
as satisfactory as where the copper
sulphate is used. and the increased
strength of solution required makes
their cost about the same.
1t must not be expected that all
weeds may be destroyed by chemicals
at least in an economical way. Some
weeds are so protected by hairs. scales
and wax as to render their leaves iIi'
pervious to the solutions usually en-
ployed. Against such weeds the use OF
chemicals will he followed by disap-
pointing results, but against char!ock,
wild mustard. shepherds rse, wi.d
radish and penny cress they may ne

made according TO the suggestions
given above.
The solutions have been foInd to re-
tard the growth Of other weeds. WITH

A Suggestion cf Nature.

Nature suggests, in tn" natural and
thick growth of Il great variety Of
grasses aud weeds together. that n I!iX-
tire OF vegetation may yield . larger
quantity of vegetable produce from
any given area tha: can lie obtained
from the growth o. Ole species alone.
Actual experiment has shown that Il
mixture OF grasses is usually more pro-
ductive than the cultivation of single
one. An acre Of peas and oats grown
together will yield more than half an
acre OF each grown singly. 4 field
seeded to timothy aud clover produces
much more thaa either sown alone. A

THE TRIPPING STEP"
How to Acquire 1t For Drawing-Eoom
Trained Skirt.

How to Acquire 1t For Drawing-Eoom
Trained Skirt.
Golfing girls and tenniS-playing maid
ems are apt to lose the drawing room
accomplishment of walking in such a
.swan-like" way as to set of the ripple
and flow of a trained skirt. Evening
dress is much more beautiful with 4
trained skirr. 1t gives certain grace
of its own to the department, but this
is lost if the wearer either strides or
bounces about with step whose free
dom suggests breezy afternoons on the
downs or mornings spent on the un-
counted miles Of the links.
The Creole girls OF former genera.
tions were. distinguished by beautiful
tripping walk. and the achievement
OF this drawing room grace was Sc
cured as follows: The mother or gov
erress of the young girl used to tie her
ankles together with broad satin rib
bon. The breadth of the ribbon and its
softness prevents hurting the tender
ankles. and the confinement prevented
the girl from taking too long step.
1t was never drawn tight, for then To-
comotion would be impossible. But
the strictness Of the. band reduced the
childish stride to narrow gait, which
at that time was reckoned as an ap-
propriate girlish accomplishment.
This produced in time a tripping
step. 1t wds daily practiced until
confirmed rs habitual manner OF
walking. This was at time when the
services of a retired drill sergeant were
frequently requisitioncd to teach a
class of school girls how to hold up the
head and how to straighten the spine
so that no girl should dream Of leaning
back in her chair so as to touch the
back
Sometimes book was carried on the
top Of the head to assist in producing
the carriage desired by the soverness
or mother.
A somewhat artificial step seems the
natural accompaniment OF the lS3O
style of summer toilet, in which an ar
tificiai simplicity is the keynote. The
fuli-founced and beruff1ed skirts, the
early Victorian corsage with its fichu
and dropping shoulder seams, its angel
sleeves or the "gtgot," the flowing scarf
and long sashcs Of the period all point
to the same direction. The tripping
gait is quite rs much part OF 1t as
would be the profusion Of ringlets and
the frishtful expanded bonnets we
have not copied from the same periou.
One ambitious mamma, who thinks
q great deal of the 'airs and graces,
has. trained her debutante daughter 10
a gliding or tripping step by Il simple
device. Her white skirt. which mas
not Il very full petticoat, was sewed to-
cether from front to back half way up
from tine hem. The girl then practiced
walking. advancing and retreating, De-
fore the tall mirror in the "duchesse
in her mothers dressing room. The
scanned petticoat constrained her nat
ural step into one still shorter. and SO
she has achieved the chicken step
